Abstract
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive from a user a machine-readable code associated with a group. The group can be identified based on the machine-readable code. A set of current members of the group can be identified. The user can be provided with access to the set of current members of the group. In some instances, an identifier for the user can be received. The user can be added, based on the identifier, to the set of current members of the group. The current members can be provided with access to the set of current members including the user.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing system, data describing a machine-readable code that references a group, the data being provided by a computing device of a user;
- identifying, by the computing system, the group based at least in part on the machine-readable code;
- determining, by the computing system, that the user satisfies one or more criteria that needs to be satisfied before the user is permitted to become a member of the group;
- and
- associating, by the computing system, the user with the group, wherein, upon becoming a member of the group, the user is permitted to perform one or more actions with respect to other members of the group.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
- obtaining data describing a machine-readable code that references a group, the data being provided by a computing device of a user;
- identifying the group based at least in part on the machine-readable code;
- determining that the user satisfies one or more criteria that needs to be satisfied before the user is permitted to become a member of the group;
- and
- associating the user with the group, wherein, upon becoming a member of the group, the user is permitted to perform one or more actions with respect to other members of the group.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
- obtaining data describing a machine-readable code that references a group, the data being provided by a computing device of a user;
- identifying the group based at least in part on the machine-readable code;
- determining that the user satisfies one or more criteria that needs to be satisfied before the user is permitted to become a member of the group;
- and
- associating the user with the group, wherein, upon becoming a member of the group, the user is permitted to perform one or more actions with respect to other members of the group.
