[0017] As discussed above, AR is an interactive experience of a real-world environment in which objects present in the real world are augmented by computer-generated perceptual information. According to certain example embodiments, a system for displaying mixed reality content in response to detecting the presence of a graphically encoded image such as a QR code is discussed herein. For example, a mixed reality media content system may be configured to perform operations including: causing image data to be displayed at a client device, the image data including a depiction of an object, the depiction including a graphical code at a location on the object; based on the image data, detecting a graphical code at a location on the depiction of the object; accessing media content in a media repository based on a graphical code scanned by a client device; and causing a presentation of the media content to be displayed at the client device at the location of the graphical code on the depiction of the object.

[0018] In some implementations, the graphically encoded image may be generated based on input received from a user of the client device.For example, the system may present a graphical editor at the client device, where the graphical editor may provide resources for generating the graphically encoded image.

[0019] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the graphic code, the system can perform one or more surface detection techniques to determine the skew, rotation, and position of the surface of the object to which the graphic code is applied. Thus, the system can present media content based on the skew, rotation, and position of the surface of the object.

[0020] In some embodiments, the graphical code may be presented within a boundary, such as a bounding box. In response to detecting the graphical code, the system may detect or otherwise identify the bounding box so as to display the media content within the boundaries defined by the bounding box. Thus, the media content may be adjusted or scaled so as to fit within the boundaries.

[0021] For example, in some embodiments, the media content can be scaled to fit within at least one dimension within the boundaries of the bounding box without truncating the media content. In some embodiments, the media content can be scaled to fill the entire boundaries defined by the bounding box, wherein the media content is truncated in the dimensions that overlap with the boundaries of the bounding box.

[0022] The system can access depth information generated by the client device in order to generate a depth map representing the curvature of the surface of the object. The system can transform the depth map into a vector object (i.e., a 3D mesh), which can be used to render the media object based on the detected curvature. In some embodiments, the system can reduce the depth map to a resolution of 1 vector per square centimeter to increase mesh rendering speed while maintaining sufficient resolution of the curvature.

[0023] In some embodiments, the depth map may be updated at regular time intervals (i.e., every X seconds) to ensure that the 3D mesh provides an accurate representation of the curvature of the surface of the object. In some embodiments, a threshold value may be used to update the 3D mesh in response to detecting a significant change in the depth map. For example, the system may actively monitor the depth values ​​of the surface of the object in order to perform a comparison of the depth map associated with the first 3D mesh with the monitored depth values. Upon detecting a threshold change in the depth value, the system may generate an updated 3D mesh.

[0024] In some embodiments, the system can apply one or more Canny edge detection algorithms to detect edges or frames within the boundaries of the detected surface area to present the selected media content within the boundaries of the detected surface area. For example, the media content can be scaled to fit within the frame defined by the boundaries of the detected surface area, or can be scaled to fit completely within the frame.

[0025] In some embodiments, the system can receive input from a client device, such as tactile input or hand tracking input. Upon receiving the input, the system can detect a conflict between an attribute of the input (i.e., a landmark of the hand tracking input) and one or more features of the media content. For example, the one or more features of the media content can include the display of one or more interactive icons, wherein each of the one or more interactive icons can correspond to a function associated with the media content. The system can then execute a function or additional feature of the media content based on the detected conflict.

[0026] Consider an illustrative example from a user perspective. A user of a client device may scan a graphically coded image, such as a QR code, where the graphically coded image is printed on a newspaper or magazine and is surrounded by a bounding box. After scanning the graphically coded image, the system may access a repository to retrieve media content identified by the graphically coded image.

[0027] Then, the system can determine the curvature and orientation associated with the newspaper or magazine, and thus can present the display of media content on the newspaper or magazine based on the border, curvature and orientation defined by the bounding box. Therefore, the system can scale the media content to fit within the border of the bounding box without truncation, or can scale the media content so that the displayed media content fills the bounding box completely, wherein a part of the media content is truncated. Then, the user of the client device can view the media content in the GUI of the client device, and tactile input can be provided, wherein the tactile input may conflict with the media content in the presentation of the media content at the client device. Therefore, the system can access other content based on the input, or otherwise perform functions associated with the media content.

[0028] Networked computing environment

[0029] Figure 1 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example messaging system 100 for exchanging data (e.g., messages and associated content) over a network. The messaging system 100 includes multiple instances of client devices 106, each of which hosts multiple applications including a messaging client 108. Each messaging client 108 is communicatively coupled to other instances of the messaging client 108 and a messaging server system 104 via a network 102 (e.g., the Internet).

[0030] The messaging client 108 is able to communicate and exchange data with another messaging client 108 and with the messaging server system 104 via the network 102. The data exchanged between the messaging clients 108 and between the messaging clients 108 and the messaging server system 104 includes functions (e.g., commands for activating functions) and payload data (e.g., text, audio, video, or other multimedia data).

[0031] The messaging server system 104 provides server-side functionality to certain messaging clients 108 via the network 102. Although certain functionality of the messaging system 100 is described herein as being performed by either the messaging client 108 or the messaging server system 104, it may be a design choice whether certain functionality is located within the messaging client 108 or within the messaging server system 104. For example, it may be technically preferable to initially deploy certain technologies and functionality within the messaging server system 104, but to later migrate the technologies and functionality to the messaging client 108 where the client device 106 has sufficient processing power.

[0032] The messaging server system 104 supports various services and operations provided to the messaging clients 108. Such operations include sending data to the messaging clients 108, receiving data from the messaging clients 108, and processing data generated by the messaging clients 108. As examples, the data may include message content, client device information, geolocation information, media enhancements and overlays, message content persistence conditions, social network information, and live event information. The data exchange within the messaging system 100 is activated and controlled by functions available via the user interface (UI) of the messaging client 108.

[0033] Turning now specifically to the messaging server system 104, an application program interface (API) server 112 is coupled to the application server 110 and provides a programming interface to the application server 110. The application server 110 is communicatively coupled to a database server 116, which facilitates access to a database 122 that stores data associated with messages processed by the application server 110. Similarly, a web server 124 is coupled to the application server 110 and provides a web-based interface to the application server 110. To this end, the web server 124 processes incoming network requests via the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and several other related protocols. In some embodiments, the database 122 may include a decentralized database.

[0034] The application program interface (API) server 112 receives and sends message data (e.g., commands and message payloads) between the client device 106 and the application server 110. Specifically, the application program interface (API) server 112 provides a set of interfaces (e.g., routines and protocols) that can be called or queried by the messaging client 108 to activate the functions of the application server 110. An application program interface (API) server 112 exposes various functions supported by the application server 110, including: account registration; login functionality; sending messages from a particular messaging client 108 to another messaging client 108 via the application server 110; sending media files (e.g., images or videos) from a messaging client 108 to the messaging server 114 and for possible access by another messaging client 108; setting of media data collections (e.g., stories); retrieving a friend list of a user of a client device 106; retrieving such collections; retrieving messages and content; adding and removing entities (e.g., friends) from an entity graph (e.g., a social graph); locating friends within a social graph; and opening application events (e.g., related to a messaging client 108).

[0035] The application server 110 hosts multiple server applications and subsystems, including, for example, a messaging server 114, an image processing server 118, and a social network server 120. The messaging server 114 implements a variety of message processing technologies and functions, particularly those related to the aggregation and other processing of content (e.g., text and multimedia content) included in messages received from multiple instances of the messaging client 108. As will be described in more detail, text and media content from multiple sources can be aggregated into collections of content (e.g., referred to as stories or galleries). These collections are then made available to the messaging client 108. In view of the hardware requirements for other processor and memory intensive data processing, other processor and memory intensive data processing can also be performed on the server side by the messaging server 114.

[0036] The application server 110 also includes an image processing server 118 that is dedicated to performing various image processing operations, typically with respect to images or videos within the payload of messages sent from or received at the messaging server 114 .

[0037] The social network server 120 supports various social networking functions and services and makes them available to the messaging server 114. Examples of functions and services supported by the social network server 120 include identifying other users in the messaging system 100 who have relationships with a particular user or who the particular user is "following," and also identifying interests and other entities of a particular user.

[0038] System Architecture

[0039] Figure 2 1 is a block diagram showing additional details about the messaging system 100 according to some examples. Specifically, the messaging system 100 is shown to include a messaging client 108 and an application server 110. The messaging system 100 contains a number of subsystems that are supported on the client side by the messaging client 108 and on the server side by the application server 110. These subsystems include, for example, a transient timer system 202, a collection management system 204, an augmentation system 206, a mapping system 210, a gaming system 212, and a mixed reality system 214.

[0040] The transient timer system 202 is responsible for implementing temporary or time-limited access to content by the messaging client 108 and the messaging server 114. The transient timer system 202 includes a plurality of timers that selectively enable access (e.g., for presentation and display) of messages and associated content via the messaging client 108 based on duration and display parameters associated with a message or a collection of messages (e.g., a story). Additional details regarding the operation of the transient timer system 202 will be provided below.

[0041] The collection management system 204 is responsible for managing collections or collections of media (e.g., collections of text, image video, and audio data). Collections of content (e.g., messages, including images, videos, text, and audio) can be organized into "event galleries" or "event stories." Such collections can be made available for a specified time period (e.g., the duration of the event to which the content relates). For example, content related to a concert can be made available as a "story" for the duration of the concert. The collection management system 204 can also be responsible for publishing an icon that provides notification of the existence of a particular collection to the user interface of the messaging client 108.

[0042] The collection management system 204 also includes a curation interface 208 that allows collection managers to manage and curate specific content collections. For example, the curation interface 208 enables an event organizer to curate a collection of content related to a specific event (e.g., to delete inappropriate content or redundant messages). In addition, the collection management system 204 uses machine vision (or image recognition technology) and content rules to automatically curate content collections. In some examples, compensation can be paid to users for including user-generated content in a collection. In such a case, the collection management system 204 operates to automatically pay such users for use of their content.

[0043] The enhancement system 206 provides various functions that enable a user to enhance (e.g., annotate or otherwise modify or edit) media content associated with a message. For example, the enhancement system 206 provides functions related to generating and publishing media overlays for messages processed by the messaging system 100. The enhancement system 206 is operable to supply media overlays or enhancements (e.g., image filters) to the messaging client 108 based on the geographic location of the client device 106. In another example, the enhancement system 206 is operable to supply media overlays to the messaging client 108 based on other information such as social network information of the user of the client device 106. The media overlay can include audio and visual content and visual effects. Examples of audio and visual content include pictures, text, logos, animations, and sound effects. Examples of visual effects include color overlays. Audio and visual content or visual effects can be applied to media content items (e.g., photos) at the client device 106. For example, the media overlay can include text or images that can be overlaid on top of a photo taken by the client device 106. In another example, the media overlay includes a location identification overlay (e.g., Venice Beach), the name of a live event, or a business name overlay (e.g., Beach Cafe). In another example, the enhancement system 206 uses the geolocation of the client device 106 to identify a media overlay that includes the name of the business at the geolocation of the client device 106. The media overlay may include other tags associated with the business. The media overlay may be stored in the database 122 and accessed through the database server 116.

[0044] In some examples, the enhancement system 206 provides a user-based publishing platform that enables a user to select a geolocation on a map and upload content associated with the selected geolocation. The user may also specify under what circumstances a particular media overlay should be provided to other users. The enhancement system 206 generates a media overlay that includes the uploaded content and associates the uploaded content with the selected geolocation.

[0045] In other examples, the enhancement system 206 provides a merchant-based publishing platform that enables merchants to select specific media coverage associated with a geographic location via a bidding process. For example, the enhancement system 206 associates the media coverage of the highest bidding merchant with the corresponding geographic location for a predefined amount of time.

[0046] The mapping system 210 provides various geolocation functions and supports the presentation of map-based media content and messages by the messaging client 108. For example, the mapping system 210 enables the display of user icons or avatars on a map to indicate the current or past locations of the user's "friends" and media content (e.g., a collection of messages including photos and videos) generated by such friends in the context of the map. For example, on the map interface of the messaging client 108, messages posted by a user to the messaging system 100 from a specific geolocation can be displayed to the "friends" of a specific user in the context of that specific location on the map. The user can also share his or her location and status information with other users of the messaging system 100 (e.g., using appropriate status avatars) via the messaging client 108, where the location and status information is similarly displayed to the selected user in the context of the map interface of the messaging client 108.

[0047] The gaming system 212 provides various gaming functions in the context of the messaging client 108. The messaging client 108 provides a gaming interface that provides a list of available games that can be launched by a user in the context of the messaging client 108 and played with other users of the messaging system 100. The messaging system 100 also enables a particular user to invite other users to participate in playing a particular game by sending an invitation to such other users from the messaging client 108. The messaging client 108 also supports both voice and text messaging (e.g., chatting) in the context of gaming, provides leaderboards for gaming, and also supports providing in-game rewards (e.g., coins and items).

[0048] According to some embodiments, the mixed reality system 214 provides functionality that may include: causing image data to be displayed at a client device, the image data including a depiction of an object, the depiction including a graphical code at a location on the object; detecting a graphical code at a location on the depiction of the object based on the image data; accessing media content in a media repository based on the graphical code scanned by the client device; and causing a presentation of the media content to be displayed at the client device at the location of the graphical code on the depiction of the object.

[0049] Figure 31 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the mixed reality system 214 when executing the method 300 for generating mixed reality media content and causing the mixed reality media content to be displayed according to one embodiment. The operation of the method 300 may be described above with respect to Figure 2 The messaging system 100 described herein may be executed by one or more subsystems such as the mixed reality system 214. Figure 3 As shown in , method 300 includes one or more operations 302 , 304 , 306 , and 308 .

[0050] At operation 302 , the mixed reality system 214 causes display of image data at the client device 106 , wherein the image data includes a depiction of an object including a graphical code at a location on the object.

[0051] At operation 304 , the mixed reality system 214 detects a graphical code at a location on the depiction of the object based on the image data. In response to detecting the graphical code, at operation 306 , the mixed reality system 214 accesses media content in a media repository based on the graphical code.

[0052] At operation 308 , the mixed reality system 214 causes a rendering of the media content to be displayed within the GUI of the client device 106 at the location of the graphical code on the depiction of the object.

[0053] Figure 4 4 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the mixed reality system 214 in executing a method 400 for executing a function associated with media content in response to an input selecting media content according to one embodiment. The operation of the method 400 may be described above with respect to Figure 2 The messaging system 100 described herein may be executed by one or more subsystems such as the mixed reality system 214. Figure 4 As shown in , method 400 includes one or more operations 402 and 404 .

[0054] At operation 402, the mixed reality system 214 receives input selecting presentation of media content from the client device 106. Upon receiving the input, the system may detect a conflict between attributes of the input (i.e., landmarks of the hand tracking input) and one or more features of the presentation of the media content. For example, the one or more features of the media content may include display of one or more interactive icons, where each of the one or more interactive icons may correspond to a function associated with the media content.

[0055] At operation 404, the mixed reality system 214 can then execute a function or additional feature of the media content based on the detected conflict. For example, in some implementations, the media content can include a video, wherein the execution of the video can include playing the video.

[0056] Figure 5 1 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the mixed reality system 214 when executing the method 500 for generating mixed reality media content and causing the mixed reality media content to be displayed according to one embodiment. The operation of the method 500 may be described above with respect to Figure 2 The messaging system 100 described herein may be executed by one or more subsystems such as the mixed reality system 214. Figure 5 As shown in , method 500 includes one or more operations 502 and 504 .

[0057] At operation 502, the mixed reality system 214 determines the orientation of the object on which the graphically coded image is displayed. For example, in some embodiments, in response to detecting the graphically coded image in the presentation of the image data, the system may perform one or more surface detection techniques to determine the skew, rotation, and position of the surface of the object to which the graphically coded image is applied.

[0058] In some embodiments, the system can access depth information in order to generate a depth map representing the curvature of the surface of the object. The system can transform the depth map into a vector object (i.e., a 3D mesh), which can be used to render the media object based on the detected curvature. In some embodiments, the system can reduce the depth map to a resolution of 1 vector per square centimeter to increase mesh rendering speed while maintaining sufficient resolution of the curvature.

[0059] In some embodiments, in response to detecting a significant change in the depth map, a threshold value can be used to update the 3D mesh. For example, the system can actively monitor the depth value of the surface of the object to perform a comparison of the depth map associated with the first 3D mesh with the monitored depth value. Upon detecting a threshold change in the depth value, the system can generate an updated 3D mesh.

[0060] At operation 504 , the mixed reality system 214 causes a rendering of the media object to be displayed based on the detected orientation and the 3D mesh depicting the curvature of the object.

[0061] Figure 6 is an interface diagram 600 depicting a GUI presented by a mixed reality system 214 at a client device 106, according to one embodiment. As seen in the interface 602, a graphically coded image 606 may be depicted on an object, where the object may include a newspaper or magazine. According to some embodiments, the object may simply include a surface where the graphically coded image 606 may be applied or otherwise depicted thereon.

[0062] In some implementations, the graphically coded image 606 may be surrounded by a border element 604, wherein the border element 604 includes a boundary defining a display area for media content associated with the graphically coded image 606 to be displayed on a surface of an object.

[0063] As in Figure 3 In response to detecting the presence of the graphically encoded image 606, the mixed reality system 214 can access a media repository (i.e., database 122) to retrieve media content 610, wherein the media content 610 is identified by the graphically encoded image 606. In some implementations, the media content 610 can be identified based on the graphically encoded image 606 and one or more contextual factors, wherein the contextual factors include: location data; temporal data; user profile data; device properties associated with the client device 106; image properties of the image data; and user preferences.

[0064] Thus, as seen in interface 608 and as shown in Figure 3 As described in method 300 of , mixed reality system 214 can cause a presentation of media content 610 to be displayed on a surface of an object within a GUI presented at client device 106. The presentation of media content 610 can be presented within boundaries 604 by scaling the media content to fit within the boundaries defined by the bounding box. For example, the media content can be configured such that the system can scale the media content to fit within the boundaries of the bounding box without truncating the media content, or in some implementations, the media content can be scaled such that the media content fills the bounding box, with a portion of the media content being truncated.

[0065] As seen in interface 608, media content 610 may include a display of one or more graphical icons 612, wherein the graphical icons 612 are configured to respond to input received from a user of client device 106. For example, the user of client device 106 may provide input corresponding to a location on a surface of an object where media content 610 is displayed, wherein the location corresponds to a location of graphical icon 612 within a display of client device 106. In response to receiving the input, mixed reality system 214 may perform a command or function associated with the selected graphical icon 612. For example, mixed reality system 214 may cause a video to begin playing, or may display certain related information in response to receiving the input.

[0066] Figure 7is an interface diagram 700 depicting a GUI 702 presented by a mixed reality system 214, according to one embodiment. The interface diagram 700 provides an illustration of mixed reality media content 704 that may be displayed by the mixed reality system 214. As seen in the GUI 702, the mixed reality media content 704 may include interactive content 706, where the interactive content 706 may include a set of selectable graphical icons 708. For example, each icon in the set of selectable graphical icons may correspond to additional content associated with the interactive content 706.

[0067] For example, a user of the client device 106 may provide input to select a graphical icon from the set of selectable graphical icons 706. As seen in the interface diagram 700, each selectable graphical icon 706 may correspond to a set of data to be presented on the graphical image of the mixed reality interactive content 704. Thus, in response to receiving input to select a selectable graphical icon 706, the mixed reality system 214 may cause the client device 106 to display a set of data (or content) corresponding to the selected icon. Similarly, each icon in the set of selectable graphical icons 706 may correspond to content that may be presented upon receiving a selection of the icon.

In addition, although only a single machine 800 is shown, the term "machine" should also be taken to include a collection of machines that individually or jointly execute instructions 810 to perform any one or more of the methods discussed herein. For example, the machine 800 may include any of the client device 106 or a plurality of server devices forming part of the messaging server system 104. In some examples, the machine 800 may also include both a client system and a server system, wherein certain operations of a particular method or algorithm are performed on the server side, and certain operations of the particular method or algorithm are performed on the client side.

[0070] The machine 800 may include a processor 804, a memory 806, and an input / output I / O component 638, which may be configured to communicate with each other via a bus 840.

[0091] Glossary

[0092] "Carrier signal" refers to any intangible medium that can store, encode or carry instructions for machine execution and includes digital or analog communication signals or other intangible media that facilitates communication of such instructions. Instructions may be sent or received over a network using a transmission medium via a network interface device.

[0093] "Client device" refers to any machine that interfaces with a communications network to obtain resources from one or more server systems or other client devices. A client device may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a portable digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a tablet computer, an ultrabook, a netbook, a laptop computer, a multiprocessor system, a microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics product, a game console, a set-top box, or any other communications device that a user may use to access a network.

[0094] "Communications network" means one or more parts of a network, which may be an ad hoc network, an intranet, an extranet, a virtual private network (VPN), a local area network (LAN), a wireless LAN (WLAN), a wide area network (WAN), a wireless WAN (WWAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), the Internet, a part of the Internet, a part of the public switched telephone network (PSTN), a plain old telephone service (POTS) network, a cellular telephone network, a wireless network, A network, other type of network, or a combination of two or more such networks. For example, the network or a portion of the network may include a wireless network or a cellular network, and the coupling may be a code division multiple access (CDMA) connection, a global system for mobile communications (GSM) connection, or other type of cellular or wireless coupling. In this example, the coupling may implement any of various types of data transmission technologies, such as single carrier radio transmission technology (1xRTT), evolution data optimized (EVDO) technology, general packet radio service (GPRS) technology, enhanced data rate for GSM evolution (EDGE) technology, including the third generation partnership project (3GPP) of 3G, fourth generation wireless (4G) network, universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), high speed packet access (HSPA), world wide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), long term evolution (LTE) standards, other data transmission technologies defined by various standard setting organizations, other long distance protocols, or other data transmission technologies.

[0095] "Component" refers to a device, physical entity or logic with boundaries defined by function or subroutine calls, branch points, APIs or other technologies that provide partitioning or modularization of specific processing or control functions. Components can be combined with other components via their interfaces to perform machine processing. Components can be packaged functional hardware units designed for use with other components, and can be part of a program that generally performs specific functions in related functions. Components can constitute software components (e.g., codes implemented on machine-readable media) or hardware components. "Hardware components" are tangible units that can perform certain operations and can be configured or arranged in a certain physical manner. In various example embodiments, one or more computer systems (e.g., independent computer systems, client computer systems or server computer systems) or one or more hardware components (e.g., processors or processor groups) of a computer system can be configured by software (e.g., applications or application parts) to operate as hardware components that perform certain operations described herein. Hardware components can also be implemented mechanically, electronically or any suitable combination thereof. For example, a hardware component may include a dedicated circuit system or logic that is permanently configured to perform certain operations. The hardware component may be a dedicated processor, such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The hardware component may also include a programmable logic or circuit system that is temporarily configured to perform certain operations by software. For example, the hardware component may include software executed by a general-purpose processor or other programmable processor. Once configured by such software, the hardware component becomes a specific machine (or a specific component of a machine) that is uniquely customized to perform the configured function, and is no longer a general-purpose processor. It should be understood that the decision to mechanically implement the hardware component in a dedicated and permanently configured circuit system or in a temporarily configured circuit system (e.g., configured by software) may be driven by cost and time considerations. Therefore, the phrase "hardware component" (or "hardware-implemented component") should be understood to include a tangible entity, that is, an entity that is physically constructed, permanently configured (e.g., hardwired) or temporarily configured (e.g., programmed) to operate in some way or perform certain operations described herein. Considering the embodiment in which the hardware component is temporarily configured (e.g., programmed), each of the hardware components does not need to be configured or instantiated at any one time. For example, in the case where a hardware component includes a general-purpose processor that is configured to become a special-purpose processor by software, the general-purpose processor can be respectively configured as different special-purpose processors (e.g., including different hardware components) at different times. Software accordingly configures one or more specific processors to, for example, constitute a specific hardware component at one time, and to constitute different hardware components at different times. Hardware components can provide information to other hardware components and receive information from other hardware components. Accordingly, the described hardware components can be considered to be coupled in communication.In the case of multiple hardware components being present at the same time, communication can be achieved by signal transmission (e.g., by appropriate circuits and buses) between or among two or more hardware components in the hardware components. In an embodiment in which multiple hardware components are configured or instantiated at different times, communication between such hardware components can be achieved, for example, by storing information in a memory structure accessible to multiple hardware components and retrieving information in the memory structure. For example, a hardware component can perform an operation, and the output of the operation is stored in a memory device coupled to it in communication. Then, other hardware components can access the memory device at a subsequent time to retrieve the stored output and process it. The hardware component can also initiate communication with an input device or an output device, and can operate on resources (e.g., a collection of information). The various operations of the example methods described herein can be performed at least in part by one or more processors that are temporarily configured (e.g., by software) or permanently configured to perform related operations. Whether it is temporarily configured or permanently configured, such a processor can constitute a processor-implemented component that operates to perform one or more operations or functions described herein. As used herein, "processor-implemented components" refer to hardware components implemented using one or more processors. Similarly, the method described herein can be implemented at least in part by a processor, wherein one or more specific processors are examples of hardware. For example, at least some of the operations in the operation of the method can be performed by one or more processors 1004 or a component implemented by the processor. In addition, one or more processors can also be operated to support the execution of related operations in a "cloud computing" environment or operate as "software as a service" (SaaS). For example, at least some of the operations in the operation can be performed by a group of computers (as an example of a machine including a processor), wherein these operations can be accessed via a network (e.g., the Internet) and via one or more appropriate interfaces (e.g., API). The execution of certain operations in the operation can be distributed among the processors, not only can reside in a single machine, but also can be deployed across multiple machines. In some example embodiments, a processor or a component implemented by a processor can be located in a single geographic location (e.g., in a home environment, an office environment, or a server cluster). In other example embodiments, a processor or a component implemented by a processor can be distributed across multiple geographic locations.

[0096] "Computer-readable storage media" refers to both machine storage media and transmission media. Therefore, these terms include both storage devices / media and carrier waves / modulated data signals. The terms "machine-readable medium," "computer-readable medium," and "device-readable medium" mean the same thing and may be used interchangeably in this disclosure.

[0097] "Ephemeral messages" are messages that are accessible for a limited duration. Ephemeral messages can be text, images, videos, etc. The access time for ephemeral messages can be set by the message sender. Alternatively, the access time can be a default setting or a setting specified by the recipient. Regardless of the setting technique, the message is transient.

[0098] "Machine storage media" refers to a single or multiple storage devices and media (e.g., centralized or distributed databases, and associated caches and servers) that store executable instructions, routines, and data. Thus, the term should be considered to include, but is not limited to, solid-state memory and optical and magnetic media, including memory internal or external to the processor. Specific examples of machine storage media, computer storage media, and device storage media include: non-volatile memory, including, for example, semiconductor memory devices such as erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), FPGA, and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, such as internal hard disks and removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and CD-ROM and DVD-ROM disks. The terms "machine storage media", "device storage media", and "computer storage media" mean the same thing and may be used interchangeably in this disclosure. The terms "machine storage media", "computer storage media", and "device storage media" expressly exclude carrier waves, modulated data signals, and other such media, at least some of which are encompassed by the term "signal media".

[0099] “Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium” refers to tangible media capable of storing, encoding, or carrying instructions to be executed by a machine.

[0100] "Signal media" refers to any intangible medium that can store, encode or carry instructions executed by a machine and includes digital or analog communication signals or other intangible media that facilitate the communication of software or data. The term "signal medium" should be deemed to include any form of modulated data signals, carrier waves, etc. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal whose one or more characteristics are set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. The terms "transmission medium" and "signal medium" mean the same thing and may be used interchangeably in this disclosure.
