Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect an initiation of a drawing to a media content item. A first drawing option that is selectable via a first dimension can be provided. A second drawing option that is selectable via a second dimension can be provided. A first current state of the first drawing option and a second current state of the second drawing option can be indicated.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

detecting, by a computing system, an initiation of a drawing to a media content item;

providing, by the computing system, a first drawing option that is selectable via a first dimension;

providing, by the computing system, a second drawing option that is selectable via a second dimension; and

indicating, by the computing system, a first current state of the first drawing option and a second current state of the second drawing option.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the detecting of the initiation of the drawing to the media content item further comprises:

determining that a user has activated a drawing mode to draw on the media content item, wherein the media content item is to be included for transmission in an interactive exchange of media content.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein the drawing is overlaid on top of the media content item, and wherein the drawing overlaid on top of the media content item is to be included for transmission in the interactive exchange of media content.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first dimension is associated with a vertical direction, and wherein the first drawing option is provided as a vertical color bar.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the second dimension is associated with a horizontal direction, and wherein the second drawing option is provided as a drawing tool size option that is selectable in the horizontal direction.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first current state of the first drawing option includes a current color selection, wherein the second current state of the second drawing option includes a current drawing tool size selection, and wherein the indicating of the first current state of the first drawing option and the second current state of the second drawing option further comprises:

providing a circular indicator that indicates in real-time the current color selection and the current drawing tool size selection.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6, wherein the circular indicator includes an outer ring configured to change in color to indicate the current color selection.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 6, wherein at least a portion of the circular indicator increases in size when the current drawing tool size selection increases, and wherein the at least the portion of the circular indicator decreases in size when the current drawing tool size selection decreases.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 6, wherein the circular indicator is moved based on a user touch gesture to select at least one of the first drawing option or the second drawing option.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

playing audio based on the drawing to the media content item, the audio including at least one of a music track or a sound effect.

11. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform;

detecting an initiation of a drawing to a media content item;

providing a first drawing option that is selectable via a first dimension;

providing a second drawing option that is selectable via a second dimension; and

indicating a first current state of the first drawing option and a second current state of the second drawing option.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the detecting of the initiation of the drawing to the media content item further comprises:

determining that a user has activated a drawing mode to draw on the media content item, wherein the media content item is to be included for transmission in an interactive exchange of media content.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the first dimension is associated with a vertical direction, and wherein the first drawing option is provided as a vertical color bar.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the second dimension is associated with a horizontal direction, and wherein the second drawing option is provided as a drawing tool size option that is selectable in the horizontal direction.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the first current state of the first drawing option includes a current color selection, wherein the second current state of the second drawing option includes a current drawing tool size selection, and wherein the indicating of the first current state of the first drawing option and the second current state of the second drawing option further comprises:

providing a circular indicator that indicates in real-time the current color selection and the current drawing tool size selection.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform:

detecting an initiation of a drawing to a media content item;

providing a first drawing option that is selectable via a first dimension;

providing a second drawing option that is selectable via a second dimension; and

indicating a first current state of the first drawing option and a second current state of the second drawing option.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the detecting of the initiation of the drawing to the media content item further comprises:

determining that a user has activated a drawing mode to draw on the media content item, wherein the media content item is to be included for transmission in an interactive exchange of media content.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the first dimension is associated with a vertical direction, and wherein the first drawing option is provided as a vertical color bar.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the second dimension is associated with a horizontal direction, and wherein the second drawing option is provided as a drawing tool size option that is selectable in the horizontal direction.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the first current state of the first drawing option includes a current color selection, wherein the second current state of the second drawing option includes a current drawing tool size selection, and wherein the indicating of the first current state of the first drawing option and the second current state of the second drawing option further comprises:

providing a circular indicator that indicates in real-time the current color selection and the current drawing tool size selection.
