Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to mobile computing technology and, more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to systems for generating and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a presentation of an animated icon (e.g., a digital pet) on a display of a client device.

Interface to display animated icon

The present invention relates to a method for generating and causing display of a communication interface that facilitates the sharing of emotions through the creation of 3D avatars, and more particularly with the creation of such interfaces for displaying 3D avatars for use with mobile devices, cloud based systems and the like.

Animated chat presence

Disclosed are media attachment systems to enable a user to embed a first media item with a link to a second media item, and distribute the first media item in a message to one or more recipient client devices. For example, the first media item may include a picture or video captured by a user at a client device. The user may generate a message that includes the first media item. In response, a media attachment system may cause display of an interface at the client device that includes an option to attach an address to a second media item to the message. For example, the second media item may include a web page, social media post, picture, or video identified by an address such as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

Media item attachment system

Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media to provide voice driven dynamic menus. One aspect disclosed is a method including receiving, by an electronic device, video data and audio data, displaying, by the electronic device, a video window, determining, by the electronic device, whether the audio data includes a voice signal, displaying, by the electronic device, a first menu in the video window in response to the audio data including a voice signal, displaying, by the electronic device, a second menu in the video window in response to a voice signal being absent from the audio data, receiving, by the electronic device, input from the displayed menu, and writing, by the electronic device, to an output device based on the received input.

Voice driven dynamic menus

In various example embodiments, a system and method for generating a response that depicts haptic characteristics are presented. Haptic data is received from a client device and the haptic data indicates an interaction with a sensor included in the client device. Haptic characteristics are determined based on the haptic data. At least one image that depicts the determined haptic characteristics is generated. And the at least one image is caused to be displayed on the client device.

Generating a response that depicts haptic characteristics

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to mobile computing technology and, more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to systems for generating and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a presentation of an animated icon (e.g., a digital pet) a display of a client device.
