SELECTED CONTENT REFINEMENT MECHANISMS

摘要

Computer-implemented methods for refining a selection of content using touch input are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a first touch input from a user for selecting content displayed on a device, and providing, for display, a visual indicator of the content that has been selected. The method also includes receiving a second touch input indicating a refinement to the selection of the content. The refinement of the selection of the content is based on at least one referent entity identified with the selected content. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

1. A computer-implemented method for refining a selection of content using touch input, the method comprising:
receiving a first touch input from a user for selecting content displayed on a device; providing, for display, a visual indicator of the content that has been selected, the visual indicator comprising an identification of a first referent entity identified with the selected content, the first referent entity being associated with a weight value indicating a likelihood that the first referent entity is a referent of the selected content; receiving a second touch input indicating a refinement to the selection of the content, the second touch input being part of a single continuous input action by the user comprising the first touch input and the second touch input; and providing, for display, another visual indicator of the refined content that has been selected, wherein the other visual indicator comprises an identification of a second referent entity identified with the refined selected content.
