System and method for dynamic profile photos

Abstract

Systems and methods for managing a presentation of a dynamic profile photo are provided. In particular, a server may receive contextual information associated with one or more users. The server may determine that the contextual information is consistent with a predetermined contextual action. In some examples, the server may identify a dynamic profile photo associated with the predetermined contextual information; and present, in response to the determination that the contextual information is consistent with the predetermined contextual action, the dynamic profile photo to the one or more users.

1 . A method for managing a presentation of a dynamic profile photo, the method comprising:
 receiving contextual information associated with a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface displaying an image or video clip that is associated with a first user and is viewable by one or more other users, wherein the contextual information includes an interaction with a control or element displayed at the graphical user interface by the one or more other users to indicate a reaction to the image or video clip;   determining that the contextual information is consistent with a predetermined contextual action;   identifying, for the first user, a dynamic profile photo associated with the predetermined contextual action; and   presenting, in response to the determination that the contextual information is consistent with the predetermined contextual action, the dynamic profile photo for the first user to the one or more other users,   wherein identifying the dynamic profile photo associated with the predetermined contextual action comprises:   analyzing the received contextual information to identify one or more parameters;   based on the one or more parameters, identifying a context identifier; and   identifying the dynamic profile photo based on the identified context identifier.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 generating one or more dynamic profile photos based on the received contextual information; and   associating the one or more dynamic profile photos with one or more predetermined contextual actions.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the contextual information further includes text associated with one or more comments provided by the one or more other users and displayed in the graphical user interface. 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . (canceled) 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein presenting the dynamic profile photo includes automatically presenting the dynamic profile photo to the one or more other users. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising: automatically updating a profile photo of the first user; and presenting the updated profile photo to the first user. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more other users include a first other user and a second other user, further comprising: 
 presenting a first dynamic profile photo for the first user to the first other user; and   presenting a second dynamic profile photo for the first user to the second other user, wherein the first dynamic profile photo is different than the second dynamic profile photo.   
     
     
         9 . A computing device for presenting a dynamic profile photo, the computing device comprising: 
 a processor; and   a memory having a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, causes the computing device to: 
 receive contextual information associated with a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface displaying an image or video clip that is associated with a first user and is viewable by one or more other users, wherein the contextual information includes an interaction with a control or element displayed at the graphical user interface by the one or more other users to indicate a reaction to the image or video clip; 
 determine that the contextual information is consistent with a predetermined contextual action; 
 identify, for the first user, a dynamic profile photo associated with the predetermined contextual action; and 
 present, in response to the determination that the contextual information is consistent with the predetermined contextual action, the dynamic profile photo for the first user to the one or more other users, 
   wherein the computing device is further configured to:   analyze the received contextual information to identify one or more parameters;   based on the one or more parameters, identify a context identifier; and   identify the dynamic profile photo based on the identified context identifier.   
     
     
         10 . The computing device of  claim 9 , wherein the computing device is further configured to: 
 generate one or more dynamic profile photos based on the received contextual information; and   associate the one or more dynamic profile photos with one or more predetermined contextual actions.   
     
     
         11 . The computing device of  claim 9 , wherein the contextual information further includes text associated with one or more comments provided by the one or more others users and displayed in the graphical user interface. 
     
     
         12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . The computing device of  claim 13 , wherein presenting the dynamic profile photo includes automatically presenting the dynamic profile photo to the one or more other users. 
     
     
         15 . The computing device of  claim 14 , wherein the computing device is further configured to: 
 automatically update a profile photo of the first user; and   present the updated profile photo to the first user.   
     
     
         16 . The computing device of  claim 9 , wherein the one or more other users include a first other user and a second other user, and wherein the computing device is further configured to: 
 present a first dynamic profile photo for the first user to the first other user; and   present a second dynamic profile photo for the first user to the second other user, wherein the first dynamic profile photo is different than the second dynamic profile photo.   
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for presenting a dynamic profile photo, the instructions when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to: 
 receive contextual information associated with a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface displaying an image or video clip that is associated with a first user and is viewable by one or more other users, wherein the contextual information includes an interaction with a control or element displayed at the graphical user interface by the one or more other users to indicate a reaction to the image or video clip;   determine that the contextual information is consistent with a predetermined contextual action;   identify, for the first user, a dynamic profile photo associated with the predetermined contextual action; and   present, in response to the determination that the contextual information is consistent with the predetermined contextual action, the dynamic profile photo for the first user to the one or more other users,   wherein identifying the dynamic profile photo associated with the predetermined contextual action comprises:   analyzing the received contextual information to identify one or more parameters;   based on the one or more parameters, identifying a context identifier; and   identifying the dynamic profile photo based on the identified context identifier.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the instructions when executed by the one or more processors further cause the computing device to: 
 generate one or more dynamic profile photos based on the received contextual information; and   associate the one or more dynamic profile photos with one or more predetermined contextual actions.   
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the contextual information further includes text associated with one or more comments provided by the one or more others users and displayed in the graphical user interface.
