Contextual connection invitations
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a memory; and
a hardware processor that, when executing computer-implemented instructions stored in the memory, is configured to;
receive information identifying a second user account associated with a network source that a user of a first user account has selected to send a connection invitation;
determine context information relating to the selection of the second user account by the user of the first user account, wherein the context information includes (i) information indicating that a video item associated with the second user account was presented in connection with the connection invitation and (ii) information associated with the video item;
determine contact information associated with the second user account based on the information identifying the second user account;
generate the connection invitation that connects the second user account with the first user account via the network source, wherein the connection invitation includes information identifying the first user account and the information identifying the video item associated with the second user that was presented to the first user account when the user of the first user account selected to send the connection invitation; and
cause the connection invitation to be sent via the network source to the second user account using the determined contact information.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for including information in an invitation from a first to connect with a second user that identifies a context regarding how the first user found the second user. A system can include a request component configured to receive, at a first network source, information identifying a second user that a first user has selected to send an invitation to connect with at the first network source, a context component configured to determine a context regarding selection of the second user by the first user, including where the first user found the information identifying the second user, and a generation component configured to generate an invitation that invites the second user to connect with the first user at the first network source. The invitation comprises first user identification information and context information identifying the context regarding the selection of the second user by the first user.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
receiving information identifying a second user account associated with a network source that a user of a first user account has selected to send a connection invitation; determining context information relating to the selection of the second user account by the user of the first user account, wherein the context information includes (i) information indicating that a video item associated with the second user account was presented in connection with the connection invitation and (ii) information associated with the video item; generating the connection invitation that connects the second user account with the first user account via the network source, wherein the connection invitation includes information identifying the first user account and the information identifying the video item associated with the second user that was presented to the first user account when the user of the first user account selected to send the connection invitation; determining contact information associated with the second user account based on the information identifying the second user account; and causing the connection invitation to be sent via the network source to the second user account using the determined contact information. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving, using a hardware processor, information identifying a second user account associated with a network source that a user of a first user account has selected to send a connection invitation; determining, using the hardware processor, context information relating to the selection of the second user account by the user of the first user account, wherein the context information includes (i) information indicating that a video item associated with the second user account was presented in connection with the connection invitation and (ii) information associated with the video item; determining, using the hardware processor, contact information associated with the second user account based on the information identifying the second user account; generating, using the hardware processor, the connection invitation that connects the second user account with the first user account via the network source, wherein the connection invitation includes information identifying the first user account and the information identifying the video item associated with the second user that was presented to the first user account when the user of the first user account selected to send the connection invitation; and causing, using the hardware processor, the connection invitation to be sent via the network source to the second user account using the determined contact information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
