Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to the application of media effects to visual data such as a video. A coordinated activity protocol is provided for synchronizing interactive effects and experiences across multiple devices. The protocol allows effects to be initiated and coordinated on multiple devices via a real-time communications (RTC) channel. Messages may be exchanged to cooperatively initiate the effect, and (once initiated) generic data may be exchanged via application programming interface (API) calls. Accordingly, the system is both data-type and platform agnostic, allowing effects developers to define how data will be interpreted. In some embodiments, higher-level services may be provided to exchange data of predefined types (e.g., for common activities such as turn negotiations, turn yielding, scorekeeping, leadership elections, etc.).

Abstract: Techniques for scam detection and prevention are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise an interaction processing component operative to generate a scam message example repository; submit the scam message example repository to a natural-language machine learning component; and receive a scam message model from the natural-language machine learning component in response to submitting the scam message example repository; an interaction monitoring component operative to monitor a plurality of messaging interactions with a messaging system based on the scam message model; and determine a suspected scam messaging interaction of the plurality of messaging interactions; and a scam action component operative to perform a suspected scam messaging action with the messaging system in response to determining the suspected scam messaging interaction. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Users of multiple clients participate in a video chat session by exchanging video streams. A user initiates generation of a high-quality composite image of the video chat session. The clients each capture high-quality local images and send the images to a chat server via a communications channel that is out-of-band from the video streams. The chat server stores the images in a repository. The initiating user views the images and selects images and a layout to use for the composite image. The chat server assembles the composite image based on the selections and saves the composite image to the repository. The initiating user can retrieve the composite image and view it, post it to social media, and/or use it for other purposes.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to the application of coordinated or cooperative effects to a coordinated activity. A coordinated activity protocol is provided for synchronizing interactive effects and experiences across multiple devices. The protocol allows effects to be initiated and coordinated on multiple devices via a real-time communications (RTC) channel. Messages may be exchanged to cooperatively initiate the effect, and (once initiated) generic data may be exchanged via application programming interface (API) calls. According to some embodiments, the coordinated activity is a shared video experience, such as a video conference or shared video-watching experience. According to other embodiments, the coordinated activity relates to other types of experiences, such as single- or multi-player games, shared book reading, communal interactions with a photo album, etc.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by a client system of a first user, receiving a request from a second user to initiate a first game within a first layer of a communication interface, wherein the communication interface includes several layers, wherein a first layer includes a video communication of the second user, and wherein a second layer of the communication interface includes a thumbnail view of a video communication of the first user; generating a first game container in a third layer of the communication interface, wherein the third layer contains the first game in an augmented reality overlay; expanding the second layer into a full-screen view within the communication interface; and displaying the third layer as the augmented reality overlay over the second layer, wherein the first layer is closed responsive to the overlaying of the augmented reality overlay onto the second layer.
