[0012] Exemplary aspects of the present disclosure are directed to arranging animated images within a dynamic keyboard interface. In particular, the animated images can be identified based at least in part on the context of the dynamic keyboard interface (e.g., one or more search terms entered via the dynamic keyboard interface, data presented by and / or entered into one or more applications in association with which the dynamic keyboard interface is provided, etc.), arranged at least in part on the context, their frequency of selection, etc., and presented (e.g., for browsing, selection, etc.) by the dynamic keyboard interface associated with the application.

[0013] Animated images can be presented to a user in the dynamic keyboard interface based on previous interactions with the animated images and / or other contextual information. As one example, animated images that are generally popular (e.g., among many users) can be placed more prominently in the dynamic keyboard interface for the user. As another example, animated images previously selected by the user can be displayed and / or highlighted in the dynamic keyboard interface. Additionally, animated images that are similar to such previously selected animated images can be displayed and / or highlighted in the dynamic keyboard interface.

[0014] As another example, some animated images may be shared more frequently with multiple recipients (e.g., in a "group chat") than with a single recipient (e.g., in a one-on-one conversation). Animated images that are shared more frequently with multiple recipients may be displayed or highlighted (e.g., displayed more prominently than other animated images) in the dynamic keyboard interface when a user is searching for animated images to send to multiple recipients. Similarly, animated images that are shared more frequently with a single recipient may be displayed or highlighted (e.g., displayed more prominently than other animated images) in the dynamic keyboard interface when a user is searching for animated images to send to a single recipient.

[0015] As a further example, contextually relevant animated images may be presented to the user more prominently based on the user's previous interactions with the user device. The user may select an animated image to send to a first contact. For example, during a message exchange with a friend, the user may suggest going to the beach next weekend. Thereafter, when the user is searching for an animated image to send to a second contact, the computing system may select an animated image based on context information collected from the user's interaction with the first contact. For example, in response to a message from the user's boss asking if the user is available to work next weekend, the computing system may display or highlight an animated image related to the beach within the dynamic keyboard interface.

[0016] As yet another example, animated images can be displayed or highlighted based on sequentially shared information indicative of the user's prior interactions and / or prior interactions of other users. For example, a particular gif may often be shared immediately after or in response to another particular animated image. The computing system can track and record such correlations and suggest animated images based on such contextual information. For example, a user may share an animated image (e.g., an animated image depicting a person saying "call me" and making a gesture with a phone). Statistically, this particular user and / or other users may often respond with a particular animated image (e.g., an animated image including text or an image conveying "like" or "how are you doing?", etc.) in response to the particular animated image. Such animated images can be displayed or highlighted based on contextual information including such correlations.

[0017] As a further example, the animated images may be displayed and / or highlighted based on context information including a "time to share" indicator. The "time to share" indicator may indicate the period of time between (1) when a user begins a search for animated images (e.g., when they enter search criteria and / or begin scrolling through the animated images within a dynamic keyboard interface) and (2) when the user selects or otherwise interacts with and / or engages with one of the animated images to share. As a result, the computing system and / or the dynamic keyboard interface may select animated images to display and / or highlight to a user in a manner that reduces the user's search time.

[0018] Further, in some implementations, the animated images may be displayed and / or highlighted based on contextual data that may be collected across multiple computer applications (e.g., text messaging applications, email applications, etc.). The dynamic keyboard interface may be configured to interface with multiple applications. Contextual data may be acquired when the dynamic keyboard interface is interfacing with one computer application (e.g., a text messaging application). Such contextual data may be used to select which animated images to display and / or highlight when the dynamic keyboard interface is later used in another separate computer application (e.g., an email application).

[0019] A dynamic keyboard interface (e.g., for use via a touch screen, etc.) can be provided (e.g., as part of an operating system (OS), a third party application, a plug-in, etc.) to one or more user devices (e.g., computers, smartphones, tablet computing devices, wearable computing devices, etc.). One or more aspects of the dynamic keyboard interface can be configured to provide access (e.g., via search functions, suggestion functions, browsing functions, etc.) to a corpus of animated images (e.g., Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images, etc.), for example, uploaded to, stored by, indexed by, managed by, etc., a remotely located computing system (e.g., one or more computing devices, etc.).

[0020] A user (e.g., utilizing a user device that provides a dynamic keyboard interface, etc.) can perform one or more actions that provide context, e.g., of the user device, the dynamic keyboard interface, an application (e.g., a messaging application, etc.) associated with which the dynamic keyboard interface is provided, etc. For example, the user can place the user device in a particular geographic location, enter one or more search terms via the dynamic keyboard interface, interact with an application via that interface, etc. Data indicative of the context can be generated (e.g., by the user device, the dynamic keyboard interface, etc.), communicated to a computing system (e.g., via one or more networks, etc.), and received by the computing system, which can update one or more records related to a corpus of animated images based at least in part on such data.

[0021] Based at least in part on the data indicative of the context, records regarding a corpus of animated images, etc., the computing system may identify a plurality of different animated images associated with the context (e.g., contextually relevant, responsive, etc. animated images) for presentation by a dynamic keyboard interface associated with the application. In some embodiments, one or more of the plurality of different animated images associated with the context may include one or more advertisements (e.g., for one or more products, services, media content items, etc.).

[0022] According to aspects of the present disclosure, for each of one or more animated images included in a plurality of different animated images associated with a context, the computing system can determine a location within the dynamic keyboard interface for presenting the animated image (e.g., based at least in part on data indicative of the context, records relating to a corpus of animated images, etc.). Data indicative of a plurality of different animated images associated with a context, their respective determined locations, etc. can be generated (e.g., by the computing system, etc.) and communicated (e.g., over a network, etc.) to the dynamic keyboard interface (e.g., a user device, etc.), and the dynamic keyboard interface can present the plurality of different animated images associated with a context in association with an application based at least in part on their respective determined locations. For example, the plurality of different animated images associated with a context can be presented in an ordered, sorted, and / or similar manner (e.g., animated images determined to be more relevant, responsive, etc. to a context can be presented sooner, more prominently, and / or similarly).

[0023] A user may select one or more particular animated images from among a plurality of different animated images associated with a context via the dynamic keyboard interface. For example, a user may select one or more of the particular animated images for communication (e.g., input, pasting, etc.) to an application via the dynamic keyboard interface. Additionally or alternatively, a user may select one or more of the particular animated images for future accessibility within the dynamic keyboard interface (e.g., designate such particular animated images as frequently used, "favorite" them, etc.).

[0024] Data indicative of the selection, the type of selection (e.g., for communication to an application, for future accessibility, etc.), the particular animated image selected, etc. can be generated (e.g., by a user device, a dynamic keyboard interface, etc.), communicated (e.g., over a network, etc.) to and received by the computing system, and the computing system can update its records regarding the corpus of animated images based at least in part on such data.

[0025] A user (e.g., utilizing a user device providing a dynamic keyboard interface, a different separate user device providing a dynamic keyboard interface, etc.) may perform one or more actions, etc., that provide a subsequent context for, e.g., such user device, the dynamic keyboard interface, an application (e.g., a messaging application, etc.) associated with which the dynamic keyboard interface is provided, a different separate application (e.g., an email application, etc.) associated with which the dynamic keyboard interface is provided, etc. For example, a user may place such a user device in a particular geographic location, enter one or more search terms via the dynamic keyboard interface, interact with such application via the respective interface, etc. Data indicative of the subsequent context may be generated (e.g., by the user device, the different separate user device, the dynamic keyboard interface, etc.), communicated (e.g., via a network, etc.) to, and received by, a computing system, which may update records related to the corpus of animated images based at least in part on such data.

[0026] Based at least in part on the data indicative of the previous context, the data indicative of the subsequent context, the data indicative of the selection, the selection type, the particular animated image selected, etc., records regarding the corpus of animated images, etc., the computing system may identify a plurality of different animated images associated with the subsequent context for presentation by the application and / or the dynamic keyboard interface associated with different distinct applications (e.g., animated images that are relevant to the subsequent context, responsive, etc.). In some embodiments, one or more of the plurality of different animated images associated with the subsequent context may include one or more advertisements.

[0027] According to aspects of the present disclosure, for each of one or more animated images included in a plurality of different animated images associated with a subsequent context, the computing system may determine a location within the dynamic keyboard interface for presenting the animated image (e.g., based at least in part on data indicative of the previous context, data indicative of the subsequent context, data indicative of the selection, the selection type, the particular animated image selected, etc., records regarding the corpus of animated images, etc.).

[0028] Data indicative of a plurality of different animated images associated with the subsequent contexts, their respective determined locations, etc., can be generated (e.g., by a computing system, etc.) and communicated (e.g., over a network, etc.) to a dynamic keyboard interface (e.g., a user device, a different separate user device, etc.), which can present the plurality of different animated images associated with the subsequent contexts in association with the application and / or the different separate applications based at least in part on their respective determined locations. For example, the plurality of different animated images associated with the subsequent contexts can be presented in an ordered, sorted, and / or similar manner (e.g., animated images determined to be more relevant, responsive, etc. to the subsequent context can be presented sooner, more prominently, and / or similarly).

[0029] In some embodiments, the animated images included in the plurality of different animated images associated with the subsequent context may include one or more of the particular animated images previously selected. In some of such embodiments, the location within the dynamic keyboard interface for presenting such particular animated images may be determined based at least in part on their previous selection, the context associated with their selection, etc. For example, such particular animated images may be presented earlier, more prominently, and / or in a similar manner than they would otherwise be (e.g., absent their previous selection, etc.). In some embodiments, one or more of such particular animated images may include one or more advertisements.

[0030] In some embodiments, the data indicative of the previous context may indicate one or more search terms entered via a dynamic keyboard interface. In some such embodiments, the data indicative of the subsequent context may indicate at least one of such search terms entered via a dynamic keyboard interface.

[0031] In some embodiments, the data indicative of the previous context may be indicative of data presented by and / or entered into an application associated with the previous context, and the data indicative of the subsequent context may be indicative of one or more of data presented by or entered into such application, a different separate application, a dynamic keyboard interface, etc. In some of such embodiments, for at least one animated image among the plurality of different animated images associated with the subsequent context, determining a location within the dynamic keyboard interface for presenting such animated image may include determining data presented by and / or entered into an application associated with the previous context, which corresponds at least in part to one or more of data presented by or entered into such application, a different separate application, a dynamic keyboard interface, etc.

[0032] In some embodiments, the data indicative of the previous context may indicate a previously selected animated image via the dynamic keyboard interface, a time at which a previously selected animated image via the dynamic keyboard interface was selected, etc. In some of such embodiments, the data indicative of the subsequent context may include data indicative of a previously selected selection of an animated image via the dynamic keyboard interface, a time associated with a selection of an animated image via the dynamic keyboard interface, etc.

[0033] In some embodiments, the data indicative of the prior context may indicate a human language setting associated with a user device on which an application associated with the prior context executes, a geographic region in which such user device is registered, a network identifier associated with such user device, a geographic location of such user device associated with a particular animated image selection, a time associated with a particular animated image selection, a time of day associated with a particular animated image selection, a date associated with a particular animated image selection, a day of the week associated with a particular animated image selection, a month associated with a particular animated image selection, a year associated with a particular animated image selection, an audience size associated with a particular animated image selection, an entity that provided one or more of the particular animated images and / or content included in one or more of the particular animated images, etc. In some of such embodiments, the data indicative of the subsequent context may include data corresponding at least in part to a human language setting, a geographic region, a network identifier, a geographic location, a time, a time of day, a date, a day of the week, a month, a year, an audience size, an entity, etc.

[0034] In some embodiments, the computing system may receive (e.g., from a user device on which an application associated with the previous context executes, over a network, etc.) data indicating an amount of time between selection of a particular animated image and a time when a plurality of different animated images associated with the previous context were presented by the dynamic keyboard interface, a time when the particular selected animated image first became available for selection by the dynamic keyboard interface from among the plurality of different animated images associated with the previous context, etc. In some such embodiments, determining, for at least one animated image included in the plurality of different animated images associated with the subsequent context, a location within the dynamic keyboard interface for presenting such animated image may include determining such location based at least in part on the data indicating the amount of time.

[0035] In some embodiments, determining such position based at least in part on the data indicative of the amount of time may include normalizing the data indicative of the amount of time based at least in part on a position of such animated image within the dynamic keyboard interface when a plurality of different animated images associated with a previous context were presented by the dynamic keyboard interface, a position of such animated image within the dynamic keyboard interface when such animated image was first made selectable from among a plurality of different animated images associated with a previous context by the dynamic keyboard interface, etc.

[0036] In some embodiments, for at least one animated image among a plurality of different animated images associated with a subsequent context, determining a location within the dynamic keyboard interface for presenting such animated image may include determining a selection frequency for such animated image based at least in part on data indicating a selection of such animated image. In some such embodiments, a location for such animated image may be determined based at least in part on a selection frequency for such animated image, one or more selection frequencies for such location, and the like.

[0037] The techniques described herein can provide many technical effects and advantages. For example, as previously indicated, the techniques described herein can present animated images that are determined to be more relevant, responsive, etc. to a given context more quickly, more prominently, and / or similarly, thereby reducing the time spent viewing, locating, etc. such animated images, and thus conserving computing resources (e.g., energy, processing cycles, network bandwidth, etc.).

[0038] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

[0043] Unless otherwise specified, the operations, functions, etc. illustrated herein may be performed by computing devices 10, 20, 30, 40, and / or 50 and / or computing system 112 (e.g., by computing devices 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50, by computing system 112, by one or more combinations of computing devices 10, 20, 30, 40, and / or 50 and / or computing system 112, etc.).

[0044] 2A-2E illustrate an example sequence of events according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0045] 2A , at (202), computing device 10 can communicate (e.g., over network 110 or the like (as indicated by the pattern-filled box above the line extending downwardly from network 110)) data indicative of one or more animated images (e.g., Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images, etc.), advertisements, advertisement content, a context for presenting such animated images, advertisements, advertisement content, etc., to computing system 112, which can receive and store such data, one or more records generated at least in part based thereon, etc. For example, computing system 112 can be located remotely from computing devices 10, 20, 30, 40, and / or 50, and can receive, store, index, manage, etc., uploads to a corpus of animated images, one or more records related to such corpus, etc.

[0046] Similarly, at (204), computing device 20 can communicate data indicative of a context for presenting one or more animated images, advertisements, advertising content, etc. to computing system 112, which can receive and store such data, one or more records generated at least in part based thereon, and at (206), computing device 30 can communicate data indicative of a context for presenting one or more animated images, advertisements, advertising content, etc. to computing system 112, which can receive and store such data, one or more records generated at least in part based thereon, and

[0047] Computing device 40 may be a user device (e.g., one or more associated computing devices that are at least temporarily associated with a particular user, user account, etc.). Computing device 50 may be a separate user device different from computing device 40 (e.g., one or more associated computing devices that are at least temporarily associated with a different separate user, user account, etc.).

[0048] Computing devices 40 and / or 50 may execute one or more different separate applications. For example, with reference to FIGURE 3A, computing devices 40 and / or 50 may execute an application associated with graphical user interface (GUI) element 302 (e.g., a messaging application, etc.), a different separate application associated with element 304 (e.g., an email application, etc.), etc.

[0049] 3B, in some embodiments (e.g., to mitigate potential privacy concerns, etc.) one or more users of computing devices 40 and / or 50 may be provided with (e.g., via element 306, etc.) information regarding the collection of certain data, (e.g., via elements 308 and / or 310, etc.) one or more controls to enable the user to make one or more selections regarding whether and / or when the methods, systems, features, operations, etc. shown herein may enable the collection of certain data (e.g., presented by and / or entered into an application, a dynamic keyboard interface shown herein, etc.), and / or the like. Additionally or alternatively, certain data (e.g., presented by and / or entered into an application, a dynamic keyboard interface shown herein, etc.) may be processed in one or more ways prior to storage, utilization, etc. (e.g., such personally identifiable information may be deleted, etc.). For example, the identity of the user, data associated therewith, etc. may be processed such that the user's personally identifiable information cannot be determined and / or the like. Thus, users can control what data is collected about them, how that information is used, what information they are provided, and so forth.

[0050] According to aspects of the disclosure, a dynamic keyboard interface (e.g., for use via a touch screen, etc.) may be provided to and by, e.g., computing device 40 and / or 50 (e.g., as part of an operating system (OS), a third party application, a plug-in, etc.). For example, with reference to FIG. 3C , portion 314 of the illustrated GUI may be associated with such a dynamic keyboard interface. One or more aspects of the dynamic keyboard interface may be configured to provide access to a corpus of animated images uploaded to, stored by, indexed by, managed by, etc., computing system 112 (e.g., via a search function, a suggestion function, a browsing function, etc.).
