Abstract

Systems and methods to generate and cause display of a contextual navigation menu within a GUI, wherein the contextual navigation menu presents contextually relevant interface elements.

Claims (51)

1. A method comprising:

causing display of media content within a graphical user interface (GUI), the media content comprising a display of a set of user identifiers;

detecting the display of the set of user identifiers within the media content;

generating a menu element to display the set of user identifiers responsive to detecting the display of the set of user identifiers within the media content; and

causing display of the menu element at a position within the GUI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content includes an ephemeral message.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an input that selects the menu element; and

causing display of a secondary menu element that comprises a presentation of the set of user identifiers.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the menu element comprises a plurality of navigation icons, and the generating the menu element to display the set of user identifiers further comprises:

generating a contextual icon that displays the set of user identifiers; and

presenting the contextual icon at a position among the plurality of navigation icons.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content further comprises video content, and wherein the generating the menu element further comprises:

presenting a media control element at within the menu element based on the video content.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the position of the menu element is at a bottom portion of the GUI.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content further comprises a query that comprises a request for a binary response, and wherein the generating the menu element further comprises:

presenting a set of options within the menu element based on the query.

8. A system comprising:

a memory; and

at least one hardware processor coupled to the memory and comprising instructions that causes the system to perform operations comprising:

causing display of media content within a graphical user interface (GUI), the media content comprising a display of a set of user identifiers;

detecting the display of the set of user identifiers within the media content;

generating a menu element to display the set of user identifiers responsive to detecting the display of the set of user identifiers within the media content; and

causing display of the menu element at a position within the GUI.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the media content includes an ephemeral message.

10. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving an input that selects the menu element; and

causing display of a secondary menu element that comprises a presentation of the set of user identifiers.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the menu element comprises a plurality of navigation icons, and the generating the menu element to display the set of user identifiers further comprises:

generating a contextual icon that displays the set of user identifiers; and

presenting the contextual icon at a position among the plurality of navigation icons.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the media content further comprises video content, and wherein the generating the menu element further comprises:

presenting a media control element at within the menu element based on the video content.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the position of the menu element is at a bottom portion of the GUI.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the media content further comprises a query that comprises a request for a binary response, and wherein the generating the menu element further comprises:

presenting a set of options within the menu element based on the query.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

causing display of media content within a graphical user interface (GUI), the media content comprising a display of a set of user identifiers;

detecting the display of the set of user identifiers within the media content;

generating a menu element to display the set of user identifiers responsive to detecting the display of the set of user identifiers within the media content; and

causing display of the menu element at a position within the GUI.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the media content includes an ephemeral message.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving an input that selects the menu element; and

causing display of a secondary menu element that comprises a presentation of the set of user identifiers.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the menu element comprises a plurality of navigation icons, and the generating the menu element to display the set of user identifiers further comprises:

generating a contextual icon that displays the set of user identifiers; and

presenting the contextual icon at a position among the plurality of navigation icons.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the media content further comprises video content, and wherein the generating the menu element further comprises:

presenting a media control element at within the menu element based on the video content.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the position of the menu element is at a bottom portion of the GUI.
