Abstract
Described herein are techniques for presenting a graphical user interface with an improved content carousel for presenting a set of content items (e.g., images, photos, video clips, content/page links) in accordance with configuration settings set by an end-user. The content carousel may, for example, select content and present content in a manner that is consistent with the configuration settings established by the end-user, thereby giving the end-user confidence to invoke the content carousel in a variety of scenarios where content carousels might not traditionally be deployed.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- presenting via a user interface of a computer application a plurality of end-user selectable thumbnail images, each thumbnail image corresponding with a content item that is either a graphic image, a photo or a video;
- presenting via the user interface an end-user selectable button, which, when selected by the end-user, will invoke a content carousel to present via the user interface a set of the content items corresponding with the thumbnail images in accordance with configuration settings for the content carousel that have been defined by the end-user at an account level by accessing a user interface of the computer application that displays the configuration settings for the content carousel, for the account of the end-user;
- responsive to detecting selection of the button, selecting for presentation via the content carousel a set of content items corresponding with the thumbnail images that satisfy one or more conditions established via the configuration settings for the content carousel that have been defined by the end-user;
- and
- presenting via the content carousel the selected content items, one content item at a time, wherein each photo presented via the content carousel is displayed for a length of time consistent with a content interval setting defined in the configuration settings for the content carousel.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors configured to execute instructions;
- one or more machine-storage media, storing instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
- present via a user interface of a computer application a plurality of end-user selectable thumbnail images, each thumbnail image corresponding with a content item that is either a graphic image, a photo or a video;
- present via the user interface an end-user selectable button, which, when selected by the end-user, will invoke a content carousel to present via the user interface a set of the content items corresponding with the thumbnail images in accordance with configuration settings for the content carousel that have been defined by the end-user at an account level by accessing a user interface of the computer application that displays the configuration settings for the content carousel, for the account of the end-user;
- responsive to detecting selection of the button, select for presentation via the content carousel a set of content items corresponding with the thumbnail images that satisfy one or more conditions established via the configuration settings for the content carousel that have been defined by the end-user;
- and
- present via the content carousel the selected content items, one content item at a time, wherein each photo presented via the content carousel is displayed for a length of time consistent with a content interval setting defined in the configuration settings for the content carousel.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- presenting on a display of a computing device a user interface for a messaging application, the user interface including an end-user selectable input control element, which, when selected, invokes a content carousel to present via the user interface a set of content items in accordance with configuration settings for the content carousel that have been defined by the end-user at an account level;
- and
- responsive to detecting selection of the input control element, selecting for presentation via the content carousel a set of content items, the selection of the content items consistent with content selection parameters established via the configuration settings;
- and
- presenting via the content carousel the selected content items, one selected content item at a time, in a manner consistent with content presentation parameters established via the configuration settings, wherein each selected content item is a graphic image, a photograph, or a video, and each graphic image or photograph is presented via the content carousel for a length of time consistent with a content presentation parameter defined in the configuration settings for the content carousel.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors configured to execute instructions;
- one or more machine-storage media, storing instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
- present on a display of a computing device a user interface for a messaging application, the user interface including an end-user selectable input control element, which, when selected, invokes a content carousel to present via the user interface a set of content items in accordance with configuration settings for the content carousel that have been defined by the end-user at an account level;
- and
- responsive to detecting selection of the input control element, select for presentation via the content carousel a set of content items, the selection of the content items consistent with content selection parameters established via the configuration settings;
- and
- present via the content carousel the selected content items, one selected content item at a time, in a manner consistent with content presentation parameters established via the configuration settings, wherein each selected content item is a graphic image, a photograph, or a video, and each graphic image or photograph is presented via the content carousel for a length of time consistent with a content presentation parameter defined in the configuration settings for the content carousel.
