Automatic content creation based on group collaboration spaces
View Patent ↗Devices described herein are configured to receive a post to a collaboration space shared by a group of users and provide the post to the group of users through a user interface associated with the collaboration space. In some embodiments, the group of users is a social network or social network group. The devices are further configured to automatically create a content item associated with an application of a device of at least one user of the group of users based on the post, the content item accessible through a user interface of the application.
1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a plurality of executable instructions configured to be implemented by the one or more processors to perform operations including:
receiving input that graphically manipulates a representation of a collaboration space shared by a group of users by bringing the representation into contact or proximity with a representation of a second collaboration space to merge the collaboration space with the second collaboration space;
creating a resulting, merged collaboration space based at least in part on the received input; and
responsive to creating the resulting, merged collaboration space, automatically creating a content item associated with an application of a device of at least one user of the group of users, wherein the content item is not included in a post to any of the collaboration space, the second collaboration space, or the resulting, merged collaboration space received from any of the users and is accessible through a user interface of the application.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the automatic creating comprises automatically creating, for each member of the group of users, a content item associated with an application of each device of each member based on the post.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the post is responsive to a selection of one of a plurality of controls of a user interface associated with the collaboration space, each control associated with a different application or content item type.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the automatic creating is based at least in part on which control of the plurality of controls is selected.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise updating a database associated with the collaboration space to include the post and/or a database associated with the application to include the content item.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise providing the post to a database of a server associated collaboration space to update the database to include the post.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the group of users comprises a social network or a group within the social network.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the application is an application provided by the social network that is separate and distinct from the collaboration space.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein a user interface associated with the collaboration space appears as a representation of a paper note with one or more posts in the collaboration space displayed in the paper note as text and/or graphics.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the resulting, merged collaboration space is automatically associated with an application or content item type.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise automatically enhancing the post with additional information based on characteristics of at least one member of the group of users.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving the post and providing the post to the group of users through a user interface associated with the resulting, merged collaboration space.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the application is one of a photo gallery, an event list, a calendar, a poll repository, a list repository, an audio library, or a video library and the content item is a corresponding one of a photo, an event, a calendar appointment, a poll question, a list, an audio file, or a video file.
14. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving input that graphically manipulates a representation of a collaboration space shared by a group of users by bringing the representation into contact or proximity with a representation of a second collaboration space to merge the collaboration space with the second collaboration space;
creating a resulting, merged collaboration space based at least in part on the received input; and
responsive to creating the resulting, merged collaboration space, automatically creating a content item associated with an application of a device of at least one user of the group of users, wherein the content item is not included in a post to any of the collaboration space, the second collaboration space, or the resulting, merged collaboration space received from any of the users and is accessible through a user interface of the application.
15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , further comprising receiving the post and providing the post to the group of users through a user interface associated with the resulting, merged collaboration space.
16. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the application is one of a photo gallery, an event list, a calendar, a poll repository, a list repository, an audio library, or a video library and the content item is a corresponding one of a photo, an event, a calendar appointment, a poll question, a list, an audio file, or a video file.
17. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the group of users comprises a social network or a group within the social network.
18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computing device, perform operations comprising:
receiving input that graphically manipulates a representation of a collaboration space shared by a group of users by bringing the representation into contact or proximity with a representation of a second collaboration space to merge the collaboration space with the second collaboration space;
creating a resulting, merged collaboration space based at least in part on the received input; and
responsive to creating the resulting, merged collaboration space, automatically creating a content item associated with an application of a device of at least one user of the group of users, wherein the content item is not included in a post to any of the collaboration space, the second collaboration space, or the resulting, merged collaboration space received from any of the users and is accessible through a user interface of the application.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving the post and providing the post to the group of users through a user interface associated with the resulting, merged collaboration space.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the application is one of a photo gallery, an event list, a calendar, a poll repository, a list repository, an audio library, or a video library and the content item is a corresponding one of a photo, an event, a calendar appointment, a poll question, a list, an audio file, or a video file.
