Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for managing content items having multiple resolutions may be provided. In some embodiments, a user device may send a request to access one or more images from a content management system. The one or more images may be categorized on the user device by an expected use that determines that the one or more images be in a first version. A second version of the one or more images may be received while a background download of the first version of the one or more images may be performed. In some embodiments, the first version may correspond to a high-resolution image whereas the second version may correspond to a lower resolution image.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
obtain a plurality of content items associated with a user account;
generate a first collection of content items comprising a first subset of content items from the plurality of content items based on determining that each content item of the first subset of content items is associated with metadata that indicates that the first subset of content items have been shared;
generate a second collection of content items comprising a second subset of content items from the plurality of content items, wherein the second subset of content items comprises at least one content item that is also included in the first subset of content items; and
provide, for display on a client device, a first graphical element corresponding to the first collection of content items and a second graphical element corresponding to the second collection of content items.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
generating the first collection of content items comprises determining that each content item of the first subset of content items is associated with a first category of metadata corresponding to a share status; and
generating the second collection of content items comprises determining that each content item of the second subset of content items is associated with a second category of metadata.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive an indication of an interaction with the first graphical element corresponding to the first collection of content items; and
provide, for display on the client device, one or more content items of the first subset of content items based on receiving the interaction with the first graphical element.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
provide, for display on the client device and in response to a first interaction, a first interface within which a user can navigate the plurality of content items associated with the user account; and
provide, for display on the client device and in response to a second interaction, a second interface within which a user can navigate collections of content items, the collections of content items comprising the first collection of content items and the second collection of content items.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to generate a text description for the first collection of content items, wherein the first graphical element comprises the text description.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
generating the first collection of content items is based on determining that each content item of the first subset of content items is associated with a first metadata category corresponding to a share status; and
generating the second collection of content items is based on determining that each content item of the second subset of content items is associated with a second metadata category corresponding to a time or date.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the second collection of content items is based on determining that each content item of the second subset of content items is associated with a second metadata category corresponding to a geographic location.

8. A method comprising:
generating a first collection of content items comprising a first subset of content items from a plurality of content items associated with a user account based on determining that each content item of the first subset of content items is associated with metadata that indicates that the first subset of content items have been shared;
generating a second collection of content items comprising a second subset of content items from the plurality of content items, wherein the second subset of content items comprises at least one content item that is also included in the first subset of content items;
providing, for display on a client device and based on a first user input, a first interface for navigating the plurality of content items associated with the user account; and
providing, for display on the client device and based on a second user input, a second interface for navigating collections of content items, the collections of content items comprising the first collection of content items and the second collection of content items.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein generating the second collection of content items is based on determining that each content item of the second subset of content items is associated with a second metadata category corresponding to a time or date.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
determining that one or more content items from the plurality of content items does not correspond to the first collection of content items or the second collection of content items; and
refraining from providing the one or more content items when providing the second interface for navigating collections of content items.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein:
generating the first collection of content items is based on determining that each content item of the first subset of content items is associated with a first metadata category corresponding to a share status; and
generating the second collection of content items is based on determining that each content item of the second subset of content items is associated with a second metadata category corresponding to a geographic location.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein:
generating the second collection of content items is based on determining that each content item of the second subset of content items is associated with a combination of geographic information and temporal information.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein generating the first second collection of content items is based on determining that each content item of the first second subset of content items corresponds to a defined content item type.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the defined content item type comprises one of: a video, a panoramic, or a multi-shot.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device to:
generate a first collection of content items comprising a first subset of content items from a plurality of content items associated with a user account, the first subset of content items being associated with metadata corresponding to a first metadata category of content items that have been shared;
generate a second collection of content items comprising a second subset of content items from the plurality of content items, the second subset of content items being associated with metadata corresponding to a second metadata category, wherein the second subset of content items comprises at least one content item that is also included in the first subset of content items; and
provide, for display on a client device, a first graphical element corresponding to the first collection of content items and a second graphical element corresponding to the second collection of content items.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein:
the first metadata category corresponds to a share status; and
the second metadata category corresponds to one of a geographic location, a time, or a date
