LINKED FILE ENGAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17525709 titled 'LINKED FILE ENGAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for providing a consolidated view of reactions to content across multiple sharing locations of a network-based content sharing service or multiple services.

• The system can track and determine reactions to content from different sharing locations.
• Reactions can be aggregated and displayed to a user based on their access to the sharing locations.
• Reactions may also be viewable from all sources, regardless of user access.

Potential Applications

• Social media platforms can use this technology to provide users with a comprehensive view of reactions to their posts across different platforms.
• Content creators can analyze the aggregated reactions to their content to gain insights and make improvements.
• Companies can use this technology to monitor and analyze customer reactions to their products or services across various online platforms.

Problems Solved

• Users often have to navigate through multiple platforms to view reactions to their content, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient.
• Content creators and companies may struggle to gather and analyze reactions to their content from different sources.
• Users may miss out on valuable feedback and engagement if they are not able to access all sharing locations.

Benefits

• Provides a centralized and convenient way for users to view reactions to their content from multiple sharing locations.
• Enables content creators and companies to gain a comprehensive understanding of audience reactions and sentiment.
• Enhances user engagement and feedback by making reactions viewable from all sources, regardless of user access.

Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, machine-readable mediums, and devices for providing an aggregated view of reactions to content across multiple sharing locations of a network-based content sharing service and in some examples across multiple sharing locations of multiple network-based content sharing services. The system may track or determine reactions across different sharing locations of a single content sharing service (such as a unified communication service) or across multiple services. In some examples, only reactions to the content that are from sharing locations accessible by a particular user are aggregated and displayed to the particular user. In other examples, reactions may be viewable from all sources regardless of access by a user.
