A push notification mechanism at a mobile user device provides for automated limiting of the rate of production of push notification alerts (such as an audible alert or a vibratory alert) and/or push notifications responsive to the occurrence of chat events relevant to a chat application hosted by the user device. Some chat events automatically trigger suppression periods during which push notification alerts are prevented for subsequent chat events that satisfy predefined suppression criteria. Such push notification and/or alert limiting can be performed separately for separate users, chat groups, and/or chat event types.

Push notification management

A client application associated with a content sharing network can include functionality for discovering content (e.g., text, image, audio, video, and other multimedia data) of the network. The content discovery functionality can be graphically represented as a feed with the top-ranking content (e.g., most relevant content, most recently created content, content created in a geographic location most proximate to a user, etc.) displayed at the top of the feed and lower-ranking content displayed at the bottom of the feed. The feed can re-order itself based on user interactions, content characteristics, system trends, and the like. A user can navigate to various portions of the feed, and the feed can continuously refresh itself to give the user an impression of an infinite feed of fresh, relevant content.

Content discovery refresh

Systems and methods for simplified message grouping and display are provided. In example embodiments, a plurality of messages are received within a conversation which is accessible by a plurality of client devices. Messages are grouped into different cards based on criteria associated with the cards. During a transition between displaying a first of the cards to a second of the cards, an animation may be displayed.

Simplified message grouping and display

Disclosed are implementations for ranking a feed in a social network. In one aspect, a method of generating a feed includes identifying a group of users associated with a first user, identify notifications for the first user based on the group of users, determine one or more actions that may result from each of the identified notifications, rank the notifications based on the one or more determined actions; and display the notifications to the first user according to the ranking.

An automatic tensioning side track assembly includes a stationary base track, a dynamic screen receiver, a first magnet, a second magnet, and a screen. The first magnet is oppositely charged relative to the second magnet and is configured to maintain an attractive magnetic force with the second magnet. The first magnet is disposed at a first position associated with a first rectilinear horizontal distance away from the second magnet when the screen is at a substantially planar configuration and has a desired tensioned state. The first magnet is disposed at a second position associated with a second rectilinear horizontal distance away from the second magnet when the screen is at a substantially bowed configuration and has an undesired tensioned state. The first magnet is configured to automatically return from the second position to the first position after the screen is displaced to the substantially bowed configuration.

Systems and methods are provided for displaying a first portion of a video, the first portion comprising a subset of the video that fits in a display area of a computing device. The systems and methods further detect movement of the computing device during playback of the first portion of the video, calculate a rotation of the display of the first portion of the video based on a direction of the movement, and cause the display of the first portion of the video to rotate relative to the direction of movement to display a second portion of the video, the second portion comprising a subset of the video that is associated with the direction of movement and that was at least partially not visible in the first portion of the video when displayed in the display area of the computing device.

Processing a media content based on device movement

A method of managing electronic media content items starts with a server system receiving a first electronic communication from a first client device in communication with the server system over a network. The server system then generates a first media content item based on the first electronic communication and causes the first media content item to be displayed on a display screen of a second client device. The server system receives a request from the second client device to store the first media content item and stores the first media content item in a storage that is associated with the first user and the second user. The server system then generates a notification to be displayed on a display screen of the first client device that indicates the first media content item is stored in the storage. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

System and method of managing electronic media content items

The present invention is a sensor device comprising: a housing; a processing unit assembly disposed within the housing, wherein the processing unit comprising a high frequency oscillator, a first voltage meter, a low frequency oscillator, a second voltage meter; a probe having a predetermined shape and profile attached to the processing unit and extending from the housing a predetermined distance; and a first sensing unit integrated into the probe and in electrical communication with the high frequency oscillator and the first voltage meter; a second sensing unit integrated into the probe relative to the first sensing unit and in electrical communication with the low frequency oscillator and the second voltage meter.
