Abstract

Systems and methods for causing display of a messaging achievement pictograph based on messaging activity are provided. In some example embodiments, a message activity communication is received by a messaging activity service from a client device, the messaging active communication causing and adjustment to a message activity score and the message activity score transgressing a first threshold activity score. Responsive to the message activity transgressing the first threshold activity score, an achievement pictograph is displayed on the client device. In some example embodiments, the pictograph may be ephemeral and removal of the pictograph may be triggered by a designated time or by the message activity score transgressing a second threshold activity score. In some example embodiments, a notification is generated that notifies a user of the display or removal from display of the achievement pictograph.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at a server-computer, a message activity communication from a client device, the message activity communication including data about a message processed by the client device;

accessing, by one or more processors, a message indicator from a first data structure, the message indicator including a message activity score that is based, at least in part, on past messages sent from and received by the client device;

adjusting the message activity score based on the message activity communication;

accessing a parameter indicator from a second data structure, the parameter indicator including a first threshold activity score and an achievement pictograph;

matching the message indicator to the parameter indicator;

determining the message activity score transgresses the first threshold activity score;

responsive to determining the message activity score transgresses the threshold activity score, causing display of the achievement pictograph within a user interface.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein messages include ephemeral messages associated with a message deletion trigger.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein message include a communication between the client device and the server-computer.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

responsive to display of the achievement pictograph within the user interface, causing display of an achievement notification within the user interface.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the client device is a first client device and wherein the message activity score is further based on message activity between the first client device and a second client device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the message activity score is further based on a time frame in which the message activity occurs on the client device.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

detecting that an achievement pictograph is displayed within the user interface;

determining the message activity score transgresses a second threshold activity score; and

responsive to determining the massage activity score transgresses the second threshold activity score, removing the display of the achievement pictograph within the user interface.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the client device is a first client device and wherein a second threshold is transgressed based on message activity occurring between the first client device and a second client device, the message activity occurring within a designated time frame.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

detecting that the designated time frame has a designated time quantity remaining within the time frame;

determining that the second threshold will be transgressed based on the message activity occurring between the first client device and the second client device; and

responsive to detecting that the time limit has the designated time quantity remaining and the second threshold will be transgressed, causing display of a time limit notification within the user interface.

17. The system of claim 1, wherein the client device is a first client device and wherein a second threshold is transgressed based on message activity occurring between the first client device and a second client device, the message activity occurring within a designated time frame.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein operations further comprise:

detecting that the designated time frame has a designated time quantity remaining within the time frame;

determining that the second threshold will be transgressed based on the message activity occurring between the first client device and the second client device; and

responsive to detecting that the time limit has the designated time quantity remaining and the second threshold will be transgressed, causing display of a time limit notification within the user interface.

10. A system comprising:

one or more processors of a machine; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the machine to perform operations comprising;

receiving, at a server-computer, a message activity communication from a client device, the message activity communication including data about a message processed by the client device;

accessing, by one or more processors, a message indicator from a first data structure, the message indicator including a message activity score that is based, at least in part, on past messages sent from and received by the client device;

adjusting the message activity score based on the message activity communication;

accessing a parameter indicator from a second data structure, the parameter indicator including a first threshold activity score and an achievement pictograph;

matching the message indicator to the parameter indicator;

determining the message activity score transgresses the first threshold activity score;

responsive to determining the message activity score transgresses the threshold activity score, causing display of the achievement pictograph within a user interface.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein messages include ephemeral messages associated with a message deletion trigger.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein message include a communication between the client device and the server-computer.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein operations further comprise:

responsive to display of the achievement pictograph within the user interface, causing display of an achievement notification within the user interface.

14. The system of claim 10, wherein the client device is a first client device and wherein the message activity score is further based on message activity between the first client device and a second client device.

15. The system of claim 10, wherein the message activity score is further based on a time frame in which the message activity occurs on the client device.

16. The system of claim 10, wherein operations further comprise:

detecting that an achievement pictograph is displayed within the user interface;

determining the message activity score transgresses a second threshold activity score; and

responsive to determining the massage activity score transgresses the second threshold activity score, removing the display of the achievement pictograph within the user interface.

19. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a server-computer, a message activity communication from a client device, the message activity communication including data about a message processed by the client device;

accessing, by one or more processors, a message indicator from a first data structure, the message indicator including a message activity score that is based, at least in part, on past messages sent from and received by the client device;

adjusting the message activity score based on the message activity communication;

accessing a parameter indicator from a second data structure, the parameter indicator including a first threshold activity score and an achievement pictograph;

matching the message indicator to the parameter indicator;

determining the message activity score transgresses the first threshold activity score;

responsive to determining the message activity score transgresses the threshold activity score, causing display of the achievement pictograph within a user interface.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein operations further comprise:

detecting that an achievement pictograph is displayed within the user interface;

determining the message activity score transgresses a second threshold activity score; and

responsive to determining the massage activity score transgresses the second threshold activity score, removing the display of the achievement pictograph within the user interface.
