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 (50)

1. A method comprising:

detecting an event that has occurred within a predetermined time period, the event being associated with a user activity on a device;

determining that the user activity is associated with a playback capture of a media content item via the device;

generating a first user-selectable element that represents a type of the media content item;

causing display of the first user-selectable element on a user interface of the device;

in response to receiving an indication of user selection of the first user-selectable element that represents the type of the media content item, generating a second user-selectable element that comprises a hyperlink directed to a media streaming platform that provides the playback of the media content item; and

causing display of the second user-selectable element on the user interface of the device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the event is a contextual triggering event.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

determining that the event is the contextual triggering event based on a plurality of triggering conditions.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of triggering conditions is configured based on user preference data, and wherein the plurality of triggering conditions comprises a playback of a media content item via the device.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to detecting the event, generating a content transmission proposal that corresponds to the media content item.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is a first user interface, further comprising:

in response to detecting a selection of the first user-selectable element, generating a second user interface that includes one or more user-selectable entity icons and a content display region that includes the media content item, each user user-selectable entity icon representing a recipient user.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

detecting an indication that the one or more user-selectable entity icons are selected via the device; and

causing the media content item to be transmitted to one or more devices associated with the one or more user-selectable entity icons.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first media content item comprises an audio or a video, and wherein the first user-selectable element represents a content transmission proposal that includes a symbol that represents a music note.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second user-selectable element further comprises an identifier of a media service provider associated with the media content item, and a text indicator that includes a caption of the media content item.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second user-selectable element further comprises a content display region that allows entering of one or more text messages by a user of the device.

11. 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:

detecting an event that has occurred within a predetermined time period, the event being associated with a user activity on a device;

determining that the user activity is associated with a playback of a media content item via the device;

generating a first user-selectable element that represents a type of the media content item;

causing display of the first user-selectable element on a user interface of the device;

in response to receiving an indication of user selection of the first user-selectable element that represents the type of the media content item, generating a second user-selectable element that comprises a hyperlink directed to a media streaming platform that provides the playback of the media content item; and

causing display of the second user-selectable element on the user interface of the device.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the event is a contextual triggering event.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining that the event is the contextual triggering event based on a plurality of triggering conditions.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:

in response to detecting the event, generating a content transmission proposal that corresponds to the media content item.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user interface is a first user interface, further comprising:

in response to detecting a selection of the first user-selectable element, generating a second user interface that includes one or more user-selectable entity icons and a content display region that includes the media content item, each user user-selectable entity icon representing a recipient user.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

detecting an indication that the one or more user-selectable entity icons are selected via the device; and

causing the media content item to be transmitted to one or more devices associated with the one or more user-selectable entity icons.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the media content item comprises an audio or a video, and wherein the first user-selectable element represents a content transmission proposal that includes a symbol that represents a music note.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second user-selectable element further comprises an identifier of a media service provider associated with the media content item, and a text indicator that includes a caption of the media content item.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the second user-selectable element further comprises a content display region that allows entering of one or more text messages by a user of the device.

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

detecting an event that has occurred within a predetermined time period, the event being associated with a user activity on a device;

determining that the user activity is associated with a playback of a media content generating a first user-selectable element that represents a type of the media content item;

item via the device;

causing display of the first user-selectable element on a user interface of the device;

in response to receiving an indication of user selection of the first user-selectable element that represents the type of the media content item, generating a second user-selectable element that comprises a hyperlink directed to a media streaming platform that provides the playback of the media content item; and

causing display of the second user-selectable element on the user interface of the device.
