Abstract: The technical problem of reducing power consumption of paired client devices is addressed by using respective location data of paired client devices to determine whether to disable or to resume operation of short range wireless communication component, such as, e.g., a Bluetooth® sensor. In some examples, the location services utilize global positioning system (GPS). Respective location data of paired client devices is communicated between the paired client devices via a messaging server.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for creating a shared augmented reality (AR) session. The methods and systems perform operations comprising: receiving, by a client device, input that selects a shared augmented reality (AR) experience from a plurality of shared AR experiences; in response to receiving the input, determining one or more resources associated with the selected shared AR experience; determining, by the client device, that two or more users are located within a threshold proximity of the client device; and activating the selected shared AR experience in response to determining that the two or more users are located within the threshold proximity of the client device.

Abstract: An example co-location connection service is described. The online co-location connection service is provided by a messaging system configured to selectively pair user profiles associated with respective client devices equipped with sensors that communicate with each other within the predetermined physical range. The messaging system monitors physical proximity of the client devices based on the sensor data obtained by the co-location connection service from the respective messaging clients executing at the respective client devices. In response to detecting that the client devices are within a predetermined physical proximity range the messaging system generates co-location experience by modifying the user interface in the respective messaging clients.

Abstract: Systems and methods directed to generating an interactive graphical marker that includes a first region with a first indicator and a second region with a second indicator, the second region being around a circumference of the first region. The systems and methods are also directed to monitoring an animation of the interactive graphical marker to detect when the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned at a predetermined angle of rotation, and in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, initiating an interactive game application on a second computing device and a third computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe a system for context triggered augmented reality. The proposed systems and methods receive first user input indicative of a selection of a user interface element corresponding to a recipient user, generate an augmented reality content item based on second user input from the first computing device, generate a contextual trigger for the generated augmented reality content item, the contextual trigger defining a set of conditions for presenting the generated augmented reality content item on a second computing device, generate a multi-media message comprising audio data recorded at the first computing device, detect at least one condition of the set of conditions being satisfied, and in response to detecting at least one of the set of conditions being satisfied, causing presentation of the augmented reality content item and the multi-media message at the second computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe an augmented reality messenger system. The proposed systems and methods generate an augmented reality content item based on input from a first computing device, generate a contextual trigger for the generated augmented reality content, the contextual trigger defining a set of conditions for presenting the generated augmented reality content item on a second computing device, and cause presentation of the generated augmented reality content item on the second computing device based on at least one condition of the set of conditions being satisfied.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate augmented reality based communication between multiple users over a network. A first user of a first device is enabled to view a real-world environment that is visible to a second user via a second device by causing display, at the first device, of a live camera feed generated at the second device. The live camera feed comprises images of the real-world environment that is visible to the second user. Input data indicative of a selection by the first user of a virtual content item to apply to the real-world environment that is visible to the second user is received. The first device and second device present media objects overlaid on the real-world environment based on the input data.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. Performance of such devices is improved with reduced time to first fix of location operations in conjunction with low-power operations. In one embodiment, low-power circuitry manages high-speed circuitry and location circuitry to provide location assistance data from the high-speed circuitry to the low-power circuitry automatically on initiation of location fix operations as the high-speed circuitry and location circuitry are booted from low-power states. In some embodiments, the high-speed circuitry is returned to a low-power state prior to completion of a location fix and after capture of content associated with initiation of the location fix. In some embodiments, high-speed circuitry is booted after completion of a location fix to update location data associated with content.

Abstract: A system including image capture eyewear, a processor, and a memory. The image capture eyewear includes a support structure, a selector connected to the support structure, a display system (e.g., LEDs or a display) connected to the support structure to distinctly display assignable recipient markers, and a camera connected to the support structure to capture an image of a scene. The processor executes programming in the memory to assign recipients to the assignable recipient markers, receive a captured image of the scene, receive an indicator associated with the assignable recipient markers distinctly displayed at the time the image of the scene was captured, and transmit the captured image to the recipient assigned to the distinctly displayed assignable recipient markers.
