The disclosed subject matter relates generally to multimedia content filters enabled on computing devices in connected environments. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and computer-implemented method for creating and providing filters with context fences to the captured multimedia objects on the computing device. The multimedia objects include photographs, images, videos selected, generated, or captured, or combinations thereof.
Generally, social media allows users to create, send, receive, and share various types of information, including user-generated content such as texts, images, video clips, audio clips, and other types of digital media. Because of their collaborative nature and growing accessibility, social media platforms such as social networks have become a popular means by which many people share photos and other media content. Social networking platforms are constantly evolving to provide users with increasingly sophisticated functionalities.
Improvements in mobile phones with built-in cameras have enabled users to share images and video clips on social networks from any location. For instance, improved front-facing cameras in mobile phones allow users to capture high quality and vivid images, known as “selfies”. Mobile device applications (or apps) now provide various application features that work by interfacing with the device camera. Such device applications may allow taking and sharing images, including selfies.
Features that make the most impact and are actively used by users to share their images or videos are greatly desired. For instance, color filters are widely used to create more appealing and exciting photos. Similarly, frames may be added to the contents of a story, allowing users to provide context. Existing applications do not offer well-crafted filters and frames as a convenient feature for regular usage.
In the light of the aforementioned discussion, there exists a need for a certain system to generate and provide filters with context fences to the captured multimedia objects on the computing devices with novel methodologies that would overcome the above-mentioned challenges.

The one or more context first fence parameters may include a user, an object, an activity, and a type of place. For example, in the case of the object, the context fence is around the object. The object may be static or mobile. If mobile, as the object moves, the context fence (and hence, any filter with that context fence) moves with the object. In this case, the filter would be active. For example, a food truck may be context fenced to have a filter along the lines of “Tacos @ Frida's”—people near the food truck, irrespective of its location, can use the filter on a photo. As the food truck moves, its context fence is updated so that the filter remains active at the correct location. Other examples of such filters may be “Quick stop @ TheNailTruck”, “The O'Hara family Tesla on a roadtrip”, etc. For example, in the case of the activity, the context fence is around an activity such as driving or shopping or biking, etc. A filter with such a context fence becomes active when the user is performing the stated activity (or for a while after an activity was completed). For example, a filter set up to be active around a race may provide dynamic information such as “Mile 12, going strong!”, “Proud finisher of the 80 mi Oregon bike ride!”, etc. As another example, a filter set up to be active when the user is driving may say something along the lines of “Not supposed to be taking a photo right now!”. A parent or a friend may set up such a filter for a user to send a message about the user using the phone while in an automobile. Other examples may include things like “Watching the re-run of Game of Thrones”, “Chilling at Susie's”, “Shopped for 10 hours straight!” and so on. For example, in the case of the type of place, in this case, the context fence is set up around a type of place, such as a coffeeshop, grocery store, etc. For example, a filter set up to remind Brad about getting a drink for a friend, Jen, may say something along the lines of “Pick up coffee for Jen”. Such a filter can be set up to appear when Brad is near or at a coffeeshop. Other examples may include reminders to pick up things at a grocery store, notes left at parks, etc. other contexts may include time, weather, etc.
