Abstract for Identity authentication and verification
Non-transitory computer-readable media and systems are able to determine if the broadcaster of live streams has identified at least one person in the social network system in order to become a co-broadcaster. Social networking systems publish a merged stream of live content. This stream consists of the first stream broadcast by the broadcaster and the second stream linked to the user identified. A minimum of one notification is sent to the other users of the social media system. Notifications are sent out to other users of the system about the merging live content stream.
Background for Identity authentication and verification
Computing devices are typically utilized by users for a variety of uses. They can utilize their devices to, for instance to interact with each other, access media content, share media content, and create media content. Social networks’ members may be able to offer media content in certain situations. Media content may consist of any combination of text, images, audio and videos. The media content can be uploaded to social networks for others to consume.
According to the conventional approach, users may post diverse content items on social networks. In general, the content posted by a first user can be included in the respective feeds for content of other users of the social networking system,for example those who have “followed” the first user. When you follow (or subscribing to) the first user, some or all content that is produced, or posted, by the first user may be added to the respective content feeds of the following users. A userfollowing the first user may remove the first user’s account to prevent new content that is produced by the first user from being included in the next user’s content feed.
Summary for Identity authentication and verification
The present disclosure may include systems, methods as well as non-transitory computer-readable media configured to determine that the broadcaster of a first live content stream has identified at minimum one person on the social network system to join as co-broadcaster; create a merged live content stream via the social network system, the merged live content stream comprising the initial live content stream of the broadcaster, and another live stream that is associated with the at least one identified user and then send at least one notice to at least one other users of the social networking system, where the notification informs the others about the merged live stream.
In certain instances, at least one user is identified from a list of viewers accessing the first live content stream.
In some cases the broadcaster could identify the user by allowing the user to make a post on the first stream of live content.
In some instances, at-least one user is identified by a list of suggested co-broadcasters.
In some instances the list of suggested co-broadcasters includes viewers of the initial live stream with at least a minimum number of followers.
In certain cases, at least one notification is sent to the members of the social media system that follow the broadcaster, or at least one identifiable user.
In certain instances the notification is sent out visually to social networking users who follow the broadcaster or at least one identifiable person. The notification is displayed in a set of avatars which correspond to the broadcaster and at least one user identified.
In certain instances the set may include a first avatar that corresponds to the broadcaster, and an additional avatar that corresponds to the co-broadcaster. The avatars are layered so that the first avatar is covered by at least the second avatar.
In some embodiments, systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to detect that at least one identified user is no longer a co-broadcaster identify a set of users who are a part of the at-least one identified user but do not follow the broadcaster; and stop the group of users from accessing the first live content stream.
In some instances, the merged live content stream can be accessed by viewers via an interface comprising a first region and a secondary region in which the initial live stream of content is displayed in the first region, and the second livecontent stream is shown in the second region.
It should be appreciated that numerous other features and applications, embodiments and/or variants of the disclosed technology will be evident from the accompanying illustrations and from the following detailed description. Alternative and alternative implementations of the systems, structures and non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods described herein can be used without departing from the principles of the disclosed technology.

The first step to obtain your patent is to conduct a patent search. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. Once the patent application is submitted, the product that is covered by the application can be described as patent-pending. you can find the patent application on public pair. Once the patent office approves the patent application, you will be able to do a patent number search to find the patent issued which means that your product is now patented. You can also utilize the USPTO search engine. See below for details. Patent lawyers or a patent attorney can advise you on the procedure. In the US, patents are issued by the US trademark and patent office or by the United States patent and trademark office, which also reviews trademark applications.
Are you looking for similar patents? These are the steps you should follow:
1. Create a list of terms for your invention in relation to its intended and composition or use.
Write down a succinct detailed description of your idea. Avoid using generic terms like “device,” “process,” and “system.” Instead, think about synonyms for the terms you chose initially. Also, make note of key technical terms as well as keywords.
To help you recognize keywords and concepts, use the questions below.
- What is the goal of the invention Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
- Does the invention consist of a method of creating something or performing some function? Are you referring to a product?
- What is the composition of the invention? What is the physical composition of the invention?
- What is the goal of this invention?
- What are the technical terms and keywords that describe the nature of an invention? A technical dictionary can assist you to identify the correct phrases.
2. These terms allow you to find relevant Cooperative Patent Classifications at Classification Search Tool. If you’re unable to find the right classification to describe your invention, scan through the class Schemas (class schedules) and try again. If you don’t get any results using the Classification Text Search, you might consider substituting your words for describing your invention using synonyms.
3. Examine 3. Check the CPC Classification Definition for confirmation of the CPC classification you’ve found. If the chosen classification has a blue box with a “D” at its left, the link will lead you to a CPC classification description. CPC classification definitions will help you determine the applicable classification’s scope so that you can select the most relevant. These definitions may also include research tips or other suggestions that could be helpful for further study.
4. The Patents Full-Text Database and the Image Database allow you to find patent documents that are accompanied by the CPC classification. You can review and narrow down the most relevant patent publications by first focusing on abstract and drawings representative of.
5. This selection of patent publication is the most appropriate to check for similarities to your idea. Be sure to read the specification and claims. Refer to the applicant and patent examiner for additional patents.
6. You can retrieve published patent applications that fit the CPC classification you picked in Step 3. It is also possible to use the same method of search that you utilized in Step 4 to narrow your search results to only the most relevant patent applications by reviewing the abstracts as well as the drawings on every page. Next, examine every patent application that has been published with care, paying special attention to the claims, and other drawings.
7. You can look up additional US patent publications by keyword searching in the AppFT and PatFT databases, as well as search for patents classified as not issued in the United States as according to below. Also, you can use web search engines to find non-patent patent disclosures in literature about inventions. Here are some examples:
- Add keywords to your search. Keyword searches may turn up documents that are not well-categorized or have missed classifications during Step 2. For example, US patent examiners often supplement their classification searches with keyword searches. Think about the use of technical engineering terminology rather than everyday words.
- Search for foreign patents using the CPC classification. Then, re-run the search using international patent office search engines such as Espacenet, the European Patent Office’s worldwide patent publication database of over 130 million patent publications. Other national databases include:
- European Patent Office (EPO) provides esp@cenet to access a network of Europe’s patent databases with access to machine translation of European patents.
- Japan Patent Office (JPO) – with access to machine translations of Japanese patents.
- World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) offers PATENTSCOPE with a full-text search of published international patent applications and machine translations for some documents, as well as a list of international patent databases.
- Korean Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS)
- State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) with machine translation of Chinese patents.
- Other International Intellectual Property Offices with online patent databases include Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Israel, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Taiwan.
- Search non-patent literature. Inventions can be made public in many non-patent publications. It is recommended that you search journals, books, websites, technical catalogs, conference proceedings, and other print and electronic publications.
To review your search, you can hire a registered patent attorney to assist. A preliminary search will help one better prepare to talk about their invention and other related inventions with a professional patent attorney. In addition, the attorney will not spend too much time or money on patenting basics.
