This application relates to a communication method based on a virtual role interaction interface, including: displaying a virtual role interaction interface of a virtual role interaction application, the virtual role interaction interface including a target virtual role identifier; displaying an instant session message triggering control on the virtual role interaction interface in response to a trigger operation on the target virtual role identifier; displaying a message input interface in response to a trigger operation on the instant session message triggering control; and transmitting, to an instant messaging user account corresponding to the target virtual role identifier after a session message is inputted in the message input interface, the session message used for displaying on an instant messaging application.

A method and system for conducting an online payment transaction through a point of sale device. The method includes receiving input from a user selecting an item for purchase through the point of sale device; calculating a total purchase amount for the item in response to a request from the user to purchase the item; and sending payment authorization for the total purchase amount from the point of sale device to a payment entity, in which the payment authorization is sent to the payment entity via a mobile communication device of the user. The method further includes receiving a result of the payment authorization from the payment entity through the mobile communication device; and completing the payment transaction based on the result of the payment authorization.

A system includes a database to provide access to stored user profile information about a first user using a respective first mobile communications device and a second user profile, using a respective second mobile communications device. A computing device is to receive a unique member identifier from all communications devices from all users who are members of the network to associate with profiles and authenticate when users sign into a user account; send to the second mobile communications device, an invitation to accept or reject an invitation to connect to the first user including receiving personal attribute information from, or sharing personal attribute information with, the first user; receive, from the second user, an acceptance of the invitation to connect to the first user; and connect the first user and the second user through the computing device for personal communication between first user and the second user.

In one embodiment, a method includes, by one or more computing devices of an online social network, receiving, from a client system at a first location, an audio input from an unknown user, identifying a first user who is proximate to the first location, identifying the unknown user as a second user based on a comparison of the audio input to one or more voiceprints of one or more candidate users accessible by the client system, respectively, wherein each voiceprint comprises audio data for auditory identification of a unique user, and wherein each candidate user is a contact of the first user, and sending customized content to one or more of the first user or the second user, wherein the content is customized using interest information associated with the first or second user.

The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating contextually relevant transcripts of voice recordings based on social networking data. For instance, the disclosed systems receive a voice recording from a user corresponding to a message thread including the user and one or more co-users. The disclosed systems analyze acoustic features of the voice recording to generate transcription-text probabilities. The disclosed systems generate term weights for terms corresponding to objects associated with the user within a social networking system by analyzing user social networking data. Using the contextually aware term weights, the disclosed systems adjust the transcription-text probabilities. Based on the adjusted transcription-text probabilities, the disclosed systems generate a transcript of the voice recording for display within the message thread.

Techniques are described for a social networking system to enable multiple users to collaboratively create, publish, receive attribution, and/or edit content. In some cases, the social networking system may be configured to distribute the collaborative content and feedback associated therewith based on metrics and relationships between collaborators of the collaborative content and users of the social networking system.

Determining a user identity associated with a detected device is disclosed. A presence of a device at a location is detected based at least in part on traffic data obtained from a sensor. An identity of a user associated with the device whose presence is detected at the location is determined. An action is performed based at least in part on the determined user identity.

A telecommunication network may operate to enable a wake up signals (WUSs) within the telecommunication network. A mobility management entity (MME) may estimate a coverage enhancement (CE) level of a user equipment (UE), determine, based on the CE level, a number of repetitions for a wake up signal (WUS) for the UE, and cause a WUS for UE to be transmitted to a radio access network (RAN) node corresponding to the UE. The RAN node may inform the MME that the RAN node has disabled the WUS feature, and may cause system information to be broadcast to UEs in IDLE mode, indicating that the WUS feature of the RAN node has been disabled. A UE may determine a paging occasion (PO) determine a maximum WUS duration, minimum offset, and start location of the WUS.
