Implementations relate to automatic response suggestions based on images received in messaging applications. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes detecting a first image included within a first message received at a second device over a communication network from a first device of a first user, and programmatically analyzing the first image to extract a first image content. The method includes retrieving a first semantic concept associated with the first image content, programmatically generating a suggested response to the first message based on the first semantic concept, and transmitting instructions causing rendering of the suggested response in the messaging application as a suggestion to a second user of the second device.

Automatic response suggestions based on images received in messaging applications

Systems, methods and computer readable media for bot interaction are described. For example, some implementations can include a computer-executed method including providing a messaging application, on a first computing device associated with a first user, to enable communication between the first user and at least one other user. The method can also include detecting, at the messaging application, a user request, and programmatically determining that an operation in response to the user request requires sharing of data associated with the first user. The method can further include causing a permission interface to be rendered in the messaging application on the first computing device, the permission interface enabling the first user to approve or prohibit sharing of the data associated with the first user, and upon receiving user input from the first user indicating approval of the sharing of the data associated with the first user, accessing the data associated with the first user and sharing the data associated with the first user within the messaging application in response to the user request.

Bot interaction

Implementations of the present application relate to caller previews for video calls. In some implementations, a method includes sending, by a caller device, a call request to a callee device and determining an identifier associated with the callee device. The method determines whether the identifier is associated with an address book of the caller device, and/or is in an outgoing call record of the caller device. An acknowledgment is received from callee device, and, upon receipt of the acknowledgment, a connection is established with the callee device. Based on determining that the identifier is associated with the address book and/or in the outgoing call record, at least a portion of a caller video is transmitted over the connection with the callee device. The caller video is transmitted prior to receipt of an acceptance of the call request from the callee device.

Caller preview for video calls

A method and computing system for generating a temporal timebase that temporally-associates one or more portions of a video associated with a videoconference with one or more data events defined via a viewer application. A specific portion of the video associated with the video conference is rendered, wherein the specific portion is chosen from the one or more portions. The temporal timebase is accessed to identify a specific data event, chosen from the one or more data events, that is temporally-associated with the specific portion of the video associated with the video conference. The specific data event may be rendered within the viewer application.

Video conferencing system and method

The present disclosure, in some implementations comprises systems and methods for providing applications during video communication, via online communities or services, for example, social networks. Video communication may be video conferencing or 'video chat' sessions among a plurality of users of the online services. Users may engage in a video conference or 'video chat,' yet at the same time, use or obtain different applications, designated as either &#x201c;personal&#x201d; or &#x201c;shared&#x201d; applications. A &#x201c;personal&#x201d; application is one that does not involve others and is configured to enhance an individual user's personal experience during a group video communication. A &#x201c;shared&#x201d; application is one that involves at least one of multiple users during a group video communication, for example, users may participate in a card or trivia game, watch videos together, collaborate and share documents, or the like.

Providing users access to applications during video communications

A method and computing system for enabling a video conference between a plurality of video conference participants. A video feed associated with the video conference is broadcast to a plurality of viewers. A plurality of interactions are received from a plurality of submitters included within the plurality of viewers. A chosen interaction is selected from the plurality of interactions. The submitter associated with the chosen interaction is invited to join the video conference.

A method, system, and medium are provided that relate to dynamically instrumenting a website. In general, an exemplary aspect of the invention includes storing configuration information in a datastore. A unique identifier, which corresponds to configuration information, is inserted within code of one or more web pages that relate to the website. When content is requested from the website, such as by a browser, the unique identifier can be used to retrieve corresponding configuration information. Using corresponding configuration information, instrumenting code may be generated and communicated, thereby instrumenting the website.

Instrumenting a website with dynamically generated code

A method and computing system for scheduling a multi-session video conference for a host. A plurality of discrete video conference sessions are linked to the multi-session video conference. The multi-session video conference is executed. The host is transferred between two or more of the discrete video conference sessions during the multi-session video conference.

Computing devices, computer-readable media, and methods are provided for generating and persisting a user identity associated with a client in a client-server network. A request for an identity script, the identity script comprising computer-executable instructions for creating one or more cookies, is sent from a client to a server. A dynamically generated identity script is returned to the client. User identities are persisted by utilizing cache validation to determine whether a new identity script should be generated.

Identity persistence via executable scripts

Business to business secure mail may be provided. Consistent with embodiments of the invention, a protected message may be received. The recipient may request a token from a trust broker, submit the token to an authorization server associated with the sender, receive a user license from the authorization server; and decrypt the protected message using the user license. The protected message may restrict actions that may be taken by the recipient, such as forwarding to other users.

Business to business secure mail

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for pre-performing operations for accessing protected content. Cryptographic user key pairs can be pre-generated and distributed in response to a variety of different events prior to provisioning client machine for accessing protected content. Usage licenses can be pre-generated and allocated prior to requests for usage licenses. Usage licenses can be pre-obtained for client machines prior to client machines access protected content. Pre-performed operations can be performed in response to detected events, such as, for example, reduced resource consumption in a Digital Rights Management system.
