Abstract

Systems and methods for creating digital interactive metadata elements in a social media composition may include (1) providing, to a user of a social media application, a composition interface for creating digital social media compositions, (2) collecting, via the composition interface, user-generated content and metadata information, (3) creating, based on the user-generated content and the metadata information, a social media composition that includes the user-generated content and an interactive metadata item, and (4) posting the social media composition to a consumption channel (e.g., a newsfeed channel and/or a stories channel) of a social-networking platform associated with the social media application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Claims (56)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, via a social media application installed on a user device, user input that triggers a composition creation process;

in response to receiving the user input, providing, via a display element of the user device, a composition landing screen comprising a single interface with a plurality of input spaces comprising a media space, a text space, a metadata space, and a posting space;

collecting, via the composition landing screen without toggling to any additional screen, a media item submitted via the media space, text submitted via the text space, a metadata item submitted via the metadata space, and user posting input submitted via the posting space; and

in response to receiving the user posting input, posting a social media composition comprising the media item, the text, and the metadata item on a consumption channel associated with the social media composition, wherein the social media composition is created and posted without requiring the user to navigate from the composition landing screen to any additional screen.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the user posting input comprises user input requesting to post the social media composition.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of input spaces are displayed on the composition landing screen as a plurality of vertically arranged layers.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:

the media space comprises a display of one or more selectable media items from a media database stored by the user device;

the display of one or more selectable media items comprises at least one of (1) one or more photos or (2) one or more videos; and

the media item submitted via the media space comprises a selectable media item selected from the display of one or more selectable media items.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the media database comprises a cameral roll.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:

the media space comprises a live camera space that enables a new media item to be generated; and

the media item submitted via the media space comprises a photo or video captured via the live camera space.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of input spaces are simultaneously presented in the initial presentation of the composition landing screen.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:

the metadata space comprises a display of one or more selectable metadata items; and

the metadata item submitted via the metadata space comprises a selectable metadata item selected from the display of one or more selectable metadata items.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata item comprises at least one of:

location metadata;

feelings metadata; or

friend metadata.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata item comprises at least one of:

weather metadata;

time metadata;

a life event; or

a graphic.

11. A system comprising:

a display module, stored in memory of a user device, configured to:

receive, via a social media application installed on the user device, user input that triggers a composition creation process; and

provide, in response to receiving the user input, a composition landing screen comprising a single interface with a plurality of input spaces comprising a media space, a text space, a metadata space, and a posting space;

a composition module, stored in the memory of the user device, configured to:

collect, via the composition landing screen without toggling to any additional screen, a media item submitted via the media space, text submitted via the text space, a metadata item submitted via the metadata space, and user posting input submitted via the posting space; and

in response to receiving the user posting input, post a social media composition comprising the media item, the text, and the metadata item on a consumption channel associated with the social media composition, wherein the social media composition is created and posted without requiring the user to navigate from the composition landing screen to any additional screen; and

at least one physical processor configured to execute the display module and the composition module.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user posting input comprises user input requesting to post the social media composition.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of input spaces are displayed on the composition landing screen as a plurality of vertically arranged layers.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the media space comprises a display of one or more selectable media items from a media database stored by the user device; and

the display of one or more selectable media items comprises at least one of (1) one or more photos or (2) one or more videos; and

the media item submitted via the media space comprises a selectable media item selected from the display of one or more selectable media items.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the media database comprises a camera roll.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein:

the media space comprises a live camera space that enables a new media item to be generated; and

the media item submitted via the media space comprises a photo or video captured via the live camera space.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of input spaces are simultaneously presented in the initial presentation of the composition landing screen.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein:

the metadata space comprises a display of one or more selectable metadata items; and

the metadata item submitted via the metadata space comprises a selectable metadata item selected from the display of one or more selectable metadata items.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

receive, via a social media application installed on a user device, user input that triggers a composition creation process;

in response to receiving the user input, provide, via a display element of the user device, a composition landing screen comprising a single interface with a plurality of input spaces comprising a media space, a text space, a metadata space, and a posting space;

collect, via the composition landing screen without toggling to any additional screen, a media item submitted via the media space, text submitted via the text space, a metadata item submitted via the metadata space, and user posting input submitted via the posting space; and

in response to receiving the user posting input, post a social media composition comprising the media item, the text, and the metadata item, on a consumption channel associated with the social media composition, wherein the social media composition is created and posted without requiring the user to navigate from the composition landing screen to any additional screen.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the plurality of input spaces are displayed on the composition landing screen as a plurality of vertically arranged layers.
