Abstract

Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for displaying widgets. In some aspects, criteria for ranking widgets may be dynamically evaluated based on conditions associated with each widget. In some aspects, the conditions may consider a time or location of an event a social network user is scheduled to attend, and a relation to that time and location to a current time and/or current user location. Evaluation of the conditions may contribute to the determination of weights for each of the respective widgets, with the ranking based on the weights. Widgets with the highest rank may be invoked, and selectively displayed on an electronic display. Multiple possible parameter values for the displayed widgets may also be dynamically ranked and selected values applied when invoking the widget.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

determining that a geographic location of a user system corresponds to a location of a venue;
accessing an event database that stores an event identifier of an event and a user identifier;
determining that the user identifier in the event database corresponds to the user system and the user identifier is associated with the event identifier;
in response to determining that the user identifier in the event database corresponds to the user system and the user identifier is associated with the event identifier, determining that a user of the user system is scheduled to attend the event;
determining that a first widget of a plurality of widgets is venue oriented;
assigning a first rank to the first widget that is greater than a second rank assigned to a second widget in response to determining that the first widget is venue oriented and in response to determining that the user of the user system is scheduled to attend the event based on the event database;
and
causing display, on the user system, of at least some of the plurality of widgets based on the assigned first and second ranks.

An apparatus, comprising:

hardware processing circuitry;
and
a hardware memory storing instructions that when executed configure the hardware processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
determining that a geographic location of a user system corresponds to a location of a venue;
accessing an event database that stores an event identifier of an event and a user identifier;
determining that the user identifier in the event database corresponds to the user system and the user identifier is associated with the event identifier;
in response to determining that the user identifier in the event database corresponds to the user system and the user identifier is associated with the event identifier, determining that a user of the user system is scheduled to attend the event;
determining that a first widget of a plurality of widgets is venue oriented;
assigning a first rank to the first widget that is greater than a second rank assigned to a second widget in response to determining that the first widget is venue oriented and in response to determining that the user of the user system is scheduled to attend the event based on the event database;
and
causing display, on the user system, of at least some of the plurality of widgets based on the assigned first and second ranks.
