Reranking of groups when content is uploaded
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- accessing logical relationship information describing logical relationships among a plurality of users;
generating, by a candidate scorer module, scores for each of a plurality of possible groups based at least partially on the logical relationship information;
selecting a first group from the plurality of possible groups based on the scores, the first group containing more than one users, including one or more users with whom the user has not directly communicated;
adding the first user to the first group of users without causing direct communications between the first user and the one or more users, in the first user group, with whom the user has not directly communicated;
receiving content from the first user for broadcast to the first group of users;
in response to the receiving of content, regenerating scores for each of the plurality of possible groups based on the content; and
adding or removing the first user from a second group of users selected from the plurality of possible groups based on the regenerated scores.

Abstract
Systems and methods for the forming of user device groups are presented. Logical relationship information describing logical relationships among a plurality of users is accessed and potential membership of a first user in a first group of users is determined based on the logical relationship information, by selecting the first group from a plurality of possible groups, the selecting being based on scores generated, for each of the plurality of possible groups, by a candidate scorer module, the first group of users containing a plurality of users, including one or more users who are not logically connected to the first user in the logical relationship information. Then, in response to the receiving of content, scores for each of the plurality of possible groups are generated based on the content, and the first user is added or removed from a second group of users selected from the plurality of possible groups based on the regenerated scores.

8. A system comprising:
-
at least one processor; and a memory to store a plurality of modules comprising instructions for execution on the at least one processor, the modules comprising; a candidate scorer module configured to access logical relationship information describing logical relationships among a plurality of users, generate scores for each of a plurality of possible groups based at least partially on the logical relationship information, and select a first group from the plurality of possible groups based on the scores, the first group containing more than one users, including one or more users with whom the user has not directly communicated; a group candidate indexer module configured to add the first user to the first group of users without causing direct communications between the first user and the one or more users, in the first user group, with whom the user has not directly communicated; an interface configured to receive content from the first user for broadcast to the first group of users; the candidate scorer module further configured to, in response to the receiving of content, regenerate scores for each of the plurality of possible groups based on the content; and the group candidate indexer module further configured to add or remove the first user from a second group of users selected from the plurality of possible groups based on the regenerated scores. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
accessing logical relationship information describing logical relationships among a plurality of users; generating, by a candidate scorer module, scores for each of a plurality of possible groups based at least partially on the logical relationship information; selecting a first group from the plurality of possible groups based on the scores, the first group containing more than one users, including one or more users with whom the user has not directly communicated; adding the first user to the first group of group without causing direct communications between the first user and the one or more users, in the first user group, with whom the user has not directly communicated; receiving content from the first user for broadcast to the first group of users; in response to the receiving of content, regenerating scores for each of the plurality of possible groups based on the content; and adding or removing the first user from a second group of users selected from the plurality of possible groups based on the regenerated scores. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
