Abstract

Techniques for context sensitive overlays, comprising a social networking application. The social networking application may include, among other components, a social networking overlay management component to receive a request from a mobile device to determine a list of aggregate overlay information and user context information, and providing the list of aggregate overlay information and user context information to the mobile device, a context determination component to determine the user context information representative of at least one user context based at least partially on user profile information, location information, calendar event information, and/or external event information, and an overlay selection component to generate the list of aggregate overlay information based at least partially on the user profile information, overlay promotion information, and user context information.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving one or more images;
receiving, by a processor, a request to visually present a plurality of composite overlay user interface (UI) views of the one or more received images;
requesting a list of aggregate overlay information;
receiving the list of aggregate overlay information comprising a plurality of overlay UI elements;
creating the plurality of composite overlay UI views by overlaying one or more of the overlay UI elements from the received list on multiple copies of one or more of the received images;
and
presenting the plurality of composite overlay UI views in a grid format.

4 more elements

An apparatus, comprising:

a processor circuit;
and
a memory operatively coupled to the processor circuit, the memory to store a software application comprising an overlay component for execution by the processor circuit, the overlay component comprising:
an overlay management component to receive a request to:
visually present a composite overlay preview UI view;
receive one or more images;
request a social networking overlay component of a social networking application for a list of aggregate overlay information;
receive the list of aggregate overlay information from the social networking overlay component, wherein the list of aggregate overlay information comprises a plurality of overlay UI elements represented by overlay element information;
and
create a plurality of composite overlay UI views by overlaying one or more of the overlay UI elements from the received list on multiple copies of one or more of the received images;
and
an overlay rendering component to visually present on a display screen, the plurality of composite overlay UI views arranged in a grid format.

9 more elements

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

receive one or more images;
receive a request to visually present a plurality of composite overlay user interface (UI) views of the one or more received images;
request a social networking overlay component of a social networking application for a list of aggregate overlay information;
receive the list of aggregate overlay information from the social networking overlay component, wherein the list of aggregate overlay information comprises a plurality of overlay UI elements represented by overlay element information;
create the plurality of composite overlay UI views by overlaying one or more of the overlay UI elements from the received list on multiple copies of one or more of the received images;
and
present the plurality of composite overlay UI views in a grid format.
