Abstract

A computing system can present a miniprofile comprising an avatar associated with a first account, a handle associated with the first account, a description associated with the first account, and a swipe icon; receive, at the swipe icon, an upward swipe; in response to receiving the upward swipe, present a occupying a larger portion of the display than the miniprofile, the full profile comprising an image associated with the first account, the avatar, the handle, the description, and at least a first post associated with the first account; receive, at the swipe icon, a downward swipe; determine that the downward swipe was a fast downward swipe; and based on determining that the downward swipe was the fast downward swipe, close the full profile and present a feed, the feed comprising at least a second post associated with a second account and a third post associated with a third account.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, being configured to cause a computing system to at least:
present, within a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display, a miniprofile, the miniprofile comprising an avatar associated with a first account, a handle associated with the first account, a description associated with the first account, a swipe icon, and a follow button;
in response to receiving input to the follow button, send a follow request to a server, the follow request identifying the first account and requesting the server to send a plurality of posts uploaded by the first account;
receive, at the swipe icon within the miniprofile, an upward swipe;
in response to receiving the upward swipe, present, within the GUI, a full profile, the full profile occupying a larger portion of the display than the miniprofile, the full profile comprising an image associated with the first account, the avatar, the handle, the description, and at least a first post uploaded by the first account;
receive, within the full profile, a downward swipe; and
determine whether the downward swipe was a fast downward swipe or a slow downward swipe,
based on the downward swipe being the fast downward swipe, close the full profile and present, within the GUI, a feed, the feed comprising at least a second post uploaded by a second account and a third post uploaded by a third account, and
based on the downward swipe being the slow downward swipe, close the full profile and present, within the GUI, the miniprofile.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the computing system to:
determine that the downward swipe was the slow downward swipe;
based on determining that the downward swipe was the slow downward swipe, close the full profile and present, within the GUI, the miniprofile;
in response to receiving a second upward swipe, present, within the GUI, the full profile;
receive, at the swipe icon within the full profile, a second downward swipe;
determine that the second downward swipe was the fast downward swipe; and
based on determining that the second downward swipe was the fast downward swipe, close the full profile and present, within the GUI, the feed.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein a top portion of the full profile is located within a top third of the display.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the closing the full profile comprises scrolling the full profile toward a bottom portion of the display.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein:
a top portion of the miniprofile is located in a middle third of the display; and
a bottom portion of the miniprofile is located in a bottom third of the display.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the bottom portion of the miniprofile is located at a bottom portion of the display.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the second post includes an avatar associated with the second account, a handle associated with the second account, and content uploaded by the second account.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the second post includes an avatar associated with the second account, a handle associated with the second account, and text uploaded by the second account.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the second post includes an avatar associated with the second account, a handle associated with the second account, and an image uploaded by the second account.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, being configured to cause a computing system to at least:
present, within a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display, a feed, the feed comprising at least a first post and a second post, the first post including a first symbol associated with a first account that uploaded the first post, first content uploaded by the first account, and a second symbol associated with a second account, the second account being different that the first account that uploaded the first post, the second post including a third symbol associated with a third account and second content uploaded by the third account;
receive, at the second symbol, a gesture;
in response to receiving the gesture, present, within the GUI, a miniprofile, a top portion of the miniprofile being located in a middle third of the display, the miniprofile at least partially covering at least one of the first post or the second post, the miniprofile comprising at least the second symbol, a description associated with the second account, and a swipe icon;
receive, at the swipe icon within the miniprofile, a first upward swipe;
in response to receiving the first upward swipe, present, within the GUI, a full profile, the full profile occupying a larger portion of the display than the miniprofile, the full profile comprising the description and at least a third post uploaded by the second account;
receive, at the swipe icon within the full profile, a first downward swipe;
determine that the first downward swipe was a slow downward swipe;
based on determining that the first downward swipe was the slow downward swipe, close the full profile and present, within the GUI, the miniprofile;
receive, at the swipe icon within the miniprofile, a second upward swipe;
in response to receiving the second upward swipe, present, within the GUI, the full profile;
receive, within the full profile, a second downward swipe;
determine that the second downward swipe was a fast downward swipe; and
based on determining that the second downward swipe was the fast downward swipe, close the full profile and present, within the GUI, the feed.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the first symbol associated with the first account comprises a handle including a text string associated with the first account.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the first symbol associated with the first account comprises an image disposed inside a circle, the image being associated with the first account.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the gesture comprises an upward swipe.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the presenting the miniprofile comprises presenting the miniprofile scrolling up from a bottom of the display.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein, when the miniprofile is presented, the first post and the second post remain in same positions on the display as before the miniprofile was presented, at least one of the first post or the second post being at least partially covered by the miniprofile.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the miniprofile does not include any posts associated with the second account.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, being configured to cause a computing system to at least:
present, within a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display, a
