Abstract

Technologies are generally described for customization of a list of properties associated with media files based at least in part on user'"'"'s preferences. In some examples, a method may include receiving, by a server, a plurality of user inputs that respectively identify the user'"'"'s designated favorites from among a plurality of media files; determining, by the server, the user'"'"'s preferences from among a plurality of properties associated with the user'"'"'s designated favorites from among the plurality of media files, based at least in part on the received user inputs; and providing, by the server, the user with a list of the plurality of properties based at least in part on the user'"'"'s preferences from among the plurality of properties.

identifying the plurality of properties which are applied to the media files favored by the user;

counting a usage frequency of each of the plurality of properties applied to the media files favored by the user, wherein the counting the usage frequency of each of the plurality of properties applied to the media files, favored by the user, includes counting a usage frequency of each of the plurality of properties applied to one or more media files posted by another user on the SNS, and wherein the one or more media files are favored by the user; and

prioritizing, based on the usage frequency, the plurality of properties applied to the media files favored by the user;

receiving, by the server, from the user'"'"'s electronic device, an indication of an activation of a media file creation or sharing application; and

in response to the receiving the indication and based at least, in part, on the user preferred properties from among the plurality of properties, providing, by the server to the user'"'"'s electronic device, the customized list of selectable properties for the user,

wherein the selectable properties in the customized list are presented as prioritized.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the media files include photos, and wherein the selectable properties include digital filter effects including one or more of:

Normal, Amaro, Rise, Hudson, X-Pro II, Sierra, Lo-fi, Earlybird, Sutro, Toaster, Brannan, InkWell, Walden, Hefe, Valencia, Nashville, 1977, or Kelvin, or modifications including one or more of;

normal, out out-focusing, softening, sharpening, dot, retro comic book, toy camera, add rainbow, color modification, painting, photo combining, frame, insert text, privacy enhance, or face replacement.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the media files include video files or audio files.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the indication of the activation of the media file creation or sharing application includes receiving an indication of a media file creation or sharing application provided by a SNS provider.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the counting the usage frequency of each of the plurality of properties applied to the media files favored by the user includes:

counting a respective number of media files, favored by the user, from a respective plurality of media files posted by a plurality of other users on the SNS; and

counting a usage frequency of each of the plurality of properties applied to the respective number of media files.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the user preferred properties from among the plurality of properties associated with the media files favored by the user further includes:

detecting a current circumstance under which a current media file is created; and

comparing the current circumstance under which the current media file is created with a respective circumstance under which each of the media files, favored by the user, is created,

wherein the prioritizing the plurality of properties applied to the media files, favored by the user, is based on similarities between the current circumstance and each of the respective circumstance.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the detecting the current circumstance under which the current media file is created includes determining a location where the current media file is created, or determining whether the current media file includes a portrait photo or a landscape photo.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the user'"'"'s inputs, received via the SNS, that respectively indicate the media files, favored by the user, include at least one of a tapping or clicking of a favoring button on a user interface provided by the SNS or a posting of favorable comments for the corresponding media files.

9. A property list customization system, comprising:

one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to perform or cause to be performed;

identify media files, favored by a user, from among a plurality of media files posted on a social networking service (SNS), wherein the identification is based on the user'"'"'s inputs, received via the SNS, that respectively indicate that a corresponding one of the plurality of media files is at least one of the media files favored by the user;

identify a plurality of properties applied to the media files favored by the user;

count a usage frequency of each of the plurality of properties applied to the media files favored by the user;

determine respective circumstances under which each of the media files favored by the user is created;

prioritize, based on the usage frequency and the respective circumstances, the plurality of properties applied to the media files favored by the user;

receive, from the user'"'"'s electronic device, an indication of an activation of a media file creation or sharing application; and

in response to the receipt of the indication, provide, to the user'"'"'s electronic device the prioritized plurality of properties as a list of selectable properties, wherein the list includes the prioritized plurality of properties in a particular order.

10. The property list customization system of claim 9, wherein the property list customization system is controlled by a server associated with a SNS provider.

11. The property list customization system of claim 9, wherein the user'"'"'s electronic device includes a smartphone, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet, or a laptop computer.

12. The property list customization system of claim 9, wherein the media files include photos, and wherein the selectable properties include digital filter effects including one or more of:

Normal, Amaro, Rise, Hudson, X-Pro II, Sierra, Lo-fi, Earlybird, Sutro, Toaster, Brannan, InkWell, Walden, Hefe, Valencia, Nashville, 1977, or Kelvin, or modifications including one or more of;
