Abstract

Systems and methods for receiving a media content item, causing a media content item interface containing the media content item to be displayed by a display device, and determining that a first contextual element is associated with the media content item displayed in the media content item interface. The systems and methods are include determining that a destructive action is applied to the media content item, and generating an overlay dialog component that is overlaid on top of the media content item in response to determining that the first contextual element is associated with the media content item in the media content item interface and that the destructive action has been applied to the media content item.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, from a computing device, a media content item;
causing a media content item interface to be displayed by a display device, the media content item interface comprising the media content item;
determining that a first contextual element is associated with the media content item displayed in the media content item interface;
determining that a destructive action is applied to the media content item; and
generating an overlay dialog component that is overlaid on top of the media content item in response to the determining that the first contextual element is associated with the media content item in the media content item interface, and that the destructive action has been applied to the media content item.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content item comprises at least one video, at least one image, at least one photograph, at least one augmented reality media content item, or at least one three-dimensional object.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first contextual element is a time interval based on a creation view instance associated with the media content item.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the time interval is at least ten seconds and the creation view instance is a display period in which the media content item is displayed by the media content item interface.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the destructive action is a permanent deletion action, received at the display device, with respect to the media content item.

6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
determining that a second contextual element is associated with the media content item during display in the media content item interface; and
causing the overlay dialog component to be displayed overlaid on top of the media content item in response to the determining that the second contextual element has been associated with the media content item, and that the destructive action has been applied to the media content item during display in the media content item interface in accordance with the first contextual element.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second contextual element is a modification of the media content item.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the modification comprises an augmented reality image transformation, an image overlay component, an alpha-numeric descriptive caption, a cropping function; or a color function that has been applied to the media content item.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the overlay dialog component comprises a first option indicium and a second option indicium, the first option button executes the destructive action upon applying a first user gesture and the second option button causes the media content item interface, comprising the media content item, to be displayed upon applying a second user gesture.

10. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to performing operations comprising:
receiving, from a computing device, a media content item;
causing a media content item interface to be displayed by a display device, the media content item interface comprising the media content item;
determining that a first contextual element is associated with the media content item displayed in the media content item interface;
determining that a destructive action is applied to the media content item; and
generating an overlay dialog component that is overlaid on top of the media content item in response to the determining that the first contextual element is associated with the media content item in the media content item interface, and that the destructive action has been applied to the media content item.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the media content item comprises at least one video, at least one image, at least one photograph, at least one augmented reality media content item, or at least one three-dimensional object.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first contextual element is a time interval based on a creation view instance associated with the media content item.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the time interval is at least ten seconds and the creation view instance is a display period in which the media content item is displayed by the media content item interface.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the destructive action is a permanent deletion action, received at the display device, with respect to the media content item.

15. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:
determining that a second contextual element is associated with the media content item during display in the media content item interface; and
causing the overlay dialog component to be displayed overlaid on top of the media content item in response to the determining that the second contextual element has been associated with the media content item, and that the destructive action has been applied to the media content item during display in the media content item interface in accordance with the first contextual element.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the second contextual element s a modification of the media content item.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the modification comprises an augmented reality image transformation, an image overlay component, an alpha-numeric descriptive caption, a cropping function, or a color function that has been applied to the media content item.

18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the overlay dialog component comprises a first option indicium and a second option indicium, the first option button executes the destructive action upon applying a first user gesture and the second option button causes the media content item interface, comprising the media content item, to be displayed upon applying a second user gesture.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a computing device, a media content item;
causing a media content item interface to be displayed by a display device, the media content item interface comprising the media content item;
determining that a first contextual element is associated with the media content tem displayed in the media content item interface;
determining that a destructive action is applied to the media content item; and
generating an overlay dialog component that is overlaid on top of the media content item in response to the determining that the first contextual element is associated with the media content item in the media content item interface, and that the destructive action has been applied to the media content item.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the first contextual element is a time interval based on a creation view instance associated with the media content item, the time interval is at least ten seconds and the creation view instance is a display period in which the media content item is displayed by the media content item interface.
