Abstract

The present disclosure is directed toward systems, computer-readable media, and methods for generating a personalized selfie reaction-element in connection social media content. For example, the systems and methods described herein generate a personalized selfie reaction-element including a multi-media item and one or more elements and/or enhancements. The systems and method described herein can then provide the personalized selfie reaction-element for use in connection with various types of social media content including communication threads, ephemeral content, posts, and direct messages.

First claim

We claim:

1 . A method for generating customized reaction elements to social media content, comprising:
detecting, by a processor of a client-computing device, a selection of an option to create a personalized selfie reaction-element in connection with social media content; providing, from a camera of the client-computing device, a live camera viewfinder display via a graphical user interface; capturing, in response to a detected selection of a capture element, a multi-media item of a user via the camera of the client-computing device; detecting a selection of one or more augmented reality enhancements; generating the personalized selfie reaction-element by combining the multi-media recording of the user and the selected one or more augmented reality enhancements; and providing the personalized selfie reaction-element for association with the social media content.

2 . The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising detecting a face associated with the user within the multi-media item of the user.

3 . The method as recited in claim 2 , wherein generating the personalized selfie reaction-element further comprises overlaying, based on the detected face within the multi-media item, the selected one or more augmented reality enhancements over the multi-media item of the user.

4 . The method as recited in claim 2 , wherein generating the personalized selfie reaction-element further comprises altering, based on the detected face within the multi-media item, an appearance of one or more portions of the multi-media item of the user based on the selected one or more augmented reality enhancements.

5 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein generating the personalized selfie reaction-element further comprises generating a multi-media recording of the user and automatically looping the multi-media recording of the user combined with the selected one or more augmented reality enhancements.

6 . The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a selection of a color-gradient option associated with the multi-media item of the user; and wherein generating the personalized selfie reaction-element further comprises:
converting the multi-media item to black and white;
cropping a background out of the multi-media item of the user; and
adding a color-gradient background into the multi-media item of the user.

7 . The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a selection of a placement location associated with the social media content; and wherein providing the personalized selfie reaction-element for association with the social media content further comprises providing the placement location associated with the social media content.

8 . A system comprising:
at least one camera; at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
detect a selection of an option to create a personalized selfie reaction-element in connection with social media content;
provide, from the at least one camera, a live camera viewfinder display via a graphical user interface;
capture, in response to a detected selection of a capture element, a multi-media item of a user via the at least one camera;
detect a selection of one or more augmented reality enhancements;
generate the personalized selfie reaction-element by combining the multi-media item of the user and the selected one or more augmented reality enhancements; and
provide the personalized selfie reaction-element for association with the social media content.

9 . The system as recited in claim 8 , further storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to detect a face associated with the user within the multi-media item of the user.

10 . The system as recited in claim 9 , further storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to generate the personalized selfie reaction-element by overlaying, based on the detected face within the multi-media item, the selected one or more augmented reality enhancements over the multi-media item of the user.

11 . The system as recited in claim 9 , further storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to generate the personalized selfie reaction-element by altering, based on the detected face within the multi-media recording, an appearance of one or more portions of the multi-media item of the user based on the selected one or more augmented reality enhancements.

12 . The system as recited in claim 8 , further storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to generate the personalized selfie reaction-element by generating a multi-media recording of the user and automatically looping the multi-media recording of the user combined with the selected one or more augmented reality enhancements.

13 . The system as recited in claim 8 , further storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
detect a selection of a color-gradient option associated with the multi-media item of the user; and generate the personalized selfie reaction-element by:
converting the multi-media item to black and white;
cropping a background out of the multi-media item of the user; and
adding a color-gradient background into the multi-media item of the user.

14 . The system as recited in claim 8 , further storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
detect a selection of a placement location associated with the social media content; and wherein providing the personalized selfie reaction-element for association with the social media content further comprises providing the placement location associated with the social media content.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a client-computing device to:
detect a selection of an option to create a personalized selfie reaction-element in connection with social media content; provide, from a camera of the client-computing device, a live camera viewfinder display via a graphical user interface; capture, in response to a detected selection of a capture element, a multi-media item of a user via the camera of the client-computing device; detect a selection of one or more augmented reality enhancements; generate the personalized selfie reaction-element by combining the multi-media item of the user and the selected one or more augmented reality enhancements; and providing the personalized selfie reaction-element for association with the social media content.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium as recited in claim 15 , further storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the client-computing device to detect a face associated with the user within the multi-media item of the user.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium as recited in claim 16 , wherein the instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the client-computing device to generate the personalized selfie reaction-element by overlaying, based on the detected face within the multi-media item, the selected one or more augmented reality enhancements over the multi-media item of the user.
