Abstract

A method and a system include receiving indication of a user interaction within a pre-determined time period, determining that the user interaction is a contextual triggering event based on a plurality of triggering conditions, identifying a media content item associated with the contextual triggering event, generating a first user interface including a user-selectable element representing a content transmission proposal, in response to detecting a user selection of the user-selectable element, generating a second user interface, the second user interface including the media content item and a plurality of user-selectable entity icons.

Claims (45)

1. A method comprising:

receiving indication of a user interaction within a pre-determined time period;

determining that the user interaction is a contextual triggering event corresponding to a capture of a hyperlink in a clipboard based on a plurality of triggering conditions, the hyperlink corresponding to a media content item, the clipboard including data structures with metadata that identifies the media content item and an associated user profile;

identifying the media content item associated with the contextual triggering event;

generating a first user interface including a user-selectable element representing a content transmission proposal; and

in response to detecting a user selection of the user-selectable element, generating a second user interface, the second user interface including the hyperlink, a plurality of user-selectable entity icons, and an avatar of the hyperlink.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content transmission proposal comprises the media content item.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a plurality of triggering conditions based on content transmission history data or user preference data; and

determining the contextual triggering event based on the plurality of triggering conditions.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contextual triggering event is a playback of a media content item.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contextual triggering event is a capture of a media content item by a sensor.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to detecting the user selection of the user-selectable element, instead of generating the second user interface, generating a third user interface including a user interface icon corresponding to a suggestion of adding the media content item to a collection of media content.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of user-selectable entity icons is associated with a connected user profile in an entity graph.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user-selectable element is associated with a text indicator.

9. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving indication of a user interaction within a pre-determined time period;

determining that the user interaction is a contextual triggering event corresponding to a capture of a hyperlink in a clipboard based on a plurality of triggering conditions, the hyperlink corresponding to a media content item, the clipboard including data structures with metadata that identifies the media content item and an associated user profile;

identifying the media content item associated with the contextual triggering event;

generating a first user interface including a user-selectable element representing a content transmission proposal; and

in response to detecting a user selection of the user-selectable element, generating a second user interface, the second user interface including the media content item and a plurality of user-selectable entity icons.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the content transmission proposal comprises the media content item.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors further perform operations comprising:

determining a plurality of triggering conditions based on content transmission history data or user preference data; and

determining the contextual triggering event based on the plurality of triggering conditions.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the contextual triggering event is a playback of a media content item.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the contextual triggering event is a capture of a media content item by a sensor.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the second user interface includes the hyperlink and an avatar of the media content item.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors further perform operations comprising:

in response to detecting the user selection of the user-selectable element, instead of generating the second user interface, generating a third user interface including a user interface icon corresponding to a suggestion of adding the media content item to a collection of media content.

16. A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instruction data executable by a machine to cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving indication of a user interaction within a pre-determined time period;

determining that the user interaction is a contextual triggering event corresponding to a capture of a hyperlink in a clipboard based on a plurality of triggering conditions, the hyperlink corresponding to a media content item, the clipboard including data structures with metadata that identifies the media content item and an associated user profile;

identifying the media content item associated with the contextual triggering event;

generating a first user interface including a user-selectable element representing a content transmission proposal; and

in response to detecting a user selection of the user-selectable element, generating a second user interface, the second user interface including the media content item and a plurality of user-selectable entity icons.

17. The machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the content transmission proposal comprises the media content item.

18. The machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 16 , having instruction data executable by the machine to cause the machine to perform operations further comprising:

determining a plurality of triggering conditions based on content transmission history data or user preference data; and

determining the contextual triggering event based on the plurality of triggering conditions.

19. The machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the contextual triggering event is a playback of a media content item.

20. The machine-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 16 , wherein each of the plurality of user-selectable entity icons is associated with a connected user profile in an entity graph.
