Abstract
Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for transmitting shared visual content between networked devices with a linked source for the visual content by accessing and presenting visual content, receiving a network location for a network resource associated with the visual content, linking the network location to the visual content to generate linked visual content, and cause presentation of the linked visual content in a draft message within a graphical user interface.
Claims19
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- accessing an image cache of a client device;
- causing presentation of an image of the image cache within a graphical user interface of a messaging application, the messaging application displaying a message thread on the client device;
- determining, at the client device, a set of search terms from the image of the image cache;
- based on the set of search terms, receiving a network location for a network resource associated with the image;
- based on receiving the network location, linking the network location to the image to generate a linked image, the generating of the linked image causing modification of the image to include a representation of the network location;
- detecting a user input, the user input triggering a selection mechanism within the graphical user interface of the messaging application to enable selection of the linked image;
- in response to the user input, causing presentation of the linked image within message content of a draft message within the graphical user interface, the presentation of the draft message proximate to display of the message thread;
- detecting selection of a message icon from the graphical user interface of the messaging application;
- and
- in response to selection of the message icon:
- displaying the message content within the message thread;
- and
- transmitting the message content to a recipient identified within the message application.

A system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- accessing an image cache of a client device;
- causing presentation of an image of the image cache within a graphical user interface of a messaging application, the messaging application displaying a message thread on the client device;
- determining a set of search terms from the one or more images of the image cache;
- receiving a network location for a network resource associated with a the image, the network location received based on the set of search terms;
- based on receiving the network location, linking the network location to the image to generate a linked image, the generating of the linked image causing modification of the image to include a representation of the network location;
- detecting a user input, the user input triggering a selection mechanism within the graphical user interface of the messaging application to enable selection of the linked image;
- in response to the user input causing presentation of the linked image within message content of a draft message of the graphical user interface, the presentation of the draft message separate from display of the message thread;
- detecting selection of a message icon from the graphical user interface of the messaging application;
- and
- in response to selection of the message icon:
- displaying the message content within the message thread;
- and
- transmitting the message content to a recipient identified within the message application.
