Static/Fixed-time meeting notifications may not be adequate and are not useful if the user is not online when the static/fixed-time reminder is sent. Systems, methods, and software to provide intelligent reminders. In one embodiment, presence data associated with a user is collected and stored. A calendar of the user is accessed to determine if any meetings have a start time occurring within a predetermined timeframe, wherein the predetermined timeframe is determined based on the presence data associated with the user. For each identified meeting that occurs within the predetermined time frame, determining a notification time based on the presence data associated with the user and presenting a notification at the determined notification time.

A method capable of enhancing a user's acceptance of a received message, a message application program for performing the method, and a user terminal performing the method. The method of exposing received messages is a method performed by a message application program running on a user terminal. The method comprises receiving a message, and displaying the message if the current state of the user terminal satisfies a condition included in an exposure rule. After the message application program receives the message, the message application program displays the message only when the current state of the terminal satisfies the condition included in the exposure rule, thereby increasing the acceptance of the message.

An illustrative communication provider system determines that a first virtual location of a first avatar in a shared virtual space is proximate to a second virtual location of a second avatar in the shared virtual space. The first avatar represents a first user and the second avatar represents a second user located remotely from the first user. The communication provider system detects an availability status of the second user, and, based on the availability status of the second user and the determination that the first virtual location of the first avatar is proximate to the second virtual location of the second avatar, the communication provider system provides audio content for presentation to the second user. The audio content is representative of a spoken communication by the first user. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

A method and a system include providing for a group conversation between plural users including a first user and a second user; determining that the second user is active within one of the main conversation view or the experience page; upon determining that the second user is active in the main conversation view, providing a first graphical element for display on a first device associated with the first user, the first graphical element including an avatar and name of the second user; and upon determining that the second user is active in the experience page, providing a second graphical element for display on the first device associated with the first user, the second graphical element including the avatar and name of the second user together with an icon representing the experience page.

A method and a system include receiving a first message from a first device associated with a first user, the first message being associated with a group conversation between plural users including the first user and a second user, the group conversation comprising a main conversation view and first experience page; determining the first message was transmitted from the first experience page; detecting the first user being active within the first experience page and the second user being active within the main conversation view; and causing display of the first message, a name of the first user, and a page source graphical element indicating the first experience page on a second device associated with the second user.

An illustrative communication provider system presents, to a first user, a communication interface that displays a representation of a shared virtual space that the first user shares with a second user. The communication provider system determines a virtual location status and an availability status for the second user. The virtual location status is representative of a virtual location of the second user within the shared virtual space. The availability status is representative of a particular availability mode included in a plurality of selectable availability modes. The communication provider system displays, within the communication interface presented to the first user, a profile icon for the second user. The profile icon indicates both the virtual location status and the availability status of the second user to the first user. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

A method of generating an augmented reality lens comprises: causing to display a list of lens categories on a display screen of a client device; receiving a user choice from the displayed list; causing to prepopulate a lens features display on the display device based on the user choice, wherein each lens feature comprises image transformation data configured to modify or overlay video or image data; receiving a user selection of a lens feature from the prepopulated lens display; receiving a trigger selection that activates the lens feature to complete the lens; and saving the completed lens to a memory of a computer device.
