Abstract

Systems and methods herein describe generating automatic reactions in an augmented reality messenger system. The claimed systems and methods generate a contextual trigger defining a set of conditions at a first computing device, detect at least one of the set of conditions has been satisfied, cause presentation of an augmented reality content item at a second computing device, generate a user reaction in response to the presentation of the augmented reality content item and transmit the user reaction to a first computing device.

receiving, by the second computing device, a user reaction to the augmented reality content item based on multi-media data generated at the second computing device; and

transmitting to the first computing device, the user reaction and the presented augmented reality content item overlaid on the field of view of the user of the second computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user reaction is generated during presentation of the augmented reality content item at the second computing device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of conditions further comprise one or more of a time period trigger or a location trigger.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the location trigger comprises a location address on a map.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein receiving the indication that the minimum number of conditions of the set of conditions has been satisfied further comprises:

identifying a current location of the second computing device; and

determining that the current location of the second computing device matches the location trigger.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein receiving the indication that the minimum number of conditions of the set of conditions has been satisfied further comprises:

identifying, a current time; and

determining that the current time falls within the time period trigger.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein receiving the indication that the minimum number of conditions of the set of conditions has been satisfied further comprises:

identifying the object in image data; and

determining that the object in the image data matches the object depicted in the image of the set of images.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the user reaction further comprises:

causing presentation, at the second computing device, of a pop-up window comprising a visual cue representing an option for transmitting the user reaction to the first computing device;

detecting the visual cue based on an analysis of image data generated at the first computing device, the visual cue confirming transmission of the user reaction; and

in response to the detecting the visual cue, transmitting the user reaction to the first computing device.

9. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a processor-readable storage device coupled to the one or more processors, the processor-readable storage device storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

providing, to a first computing device, access to a set of images stored on a second computing device;

receiving, from the first computing device, a selection of an object depicted in an image of the set of images stored on the second computing device;

receiving, from the first computing device, a contextual trigger defining a set of conditions for presenting an augmented reality content item on the second computing device, the set of conditions comprising a visual marker trigger to cause presentation of the augmented reality content item in response to the object, that has been selected in the image of the set of images stored on the second computing device, being depicted in a field of view of a user of the second computing device;

receiving, from the first computing device, a level of specificity of the contextual trigger, the level of specificity indicating a minimum number of conditions in the set of conditions that must be satisfied to present the augmented reality content item;

determining a probability that the minimum number of conditions in the set of conditions will be satisfied based on the level of specificity;

in response to determining the probability, causing display of a meter graphic on a graphical user interface of the first computing device, the meter graphic comprising a graphical representation of the probability;

receiving an indication from the second computing device that the minimum number of conditions of the set of conditions has been satisfied;

causing presentation of the augmented reality content item at the second computing device based on the minimum number of conditions of the set of conditions being satisfied, the augmented reality content item being presented in response to the field of view of the user of the second computing device depicting the object that has been selected in the image of the set of images stored on the second computing device;

receiving, by the second computing device, a user reaction to the augmented reality content item based on multi-media data generated at the second computing device; and

transmitting to the first computing device, the user reaction and the presented augmented reality content item overlaid on the field of view of the user of the second computing device.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the user reaction is generated during presentation of the augmented reality content item at the second computing device.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the set of conditions further comprise one or more of a time period trigger or a location trigger.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the location trigger comprises a location address on a map.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein receiving the indication that the minimum number of conditions of the set of conditions has been satisfied further comprises:

identifying a current location of the second computing device; and

determining that the current location of the second computing device matches the location trigger.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein receiving the indication that the minimum number of conditions of the set of conditions has been satisfied further comprises:
