TILE-CENTRIC USER INTERFACE FOR QUERY-BASED REPRESENTATIVE CONTENT OF SEARCH RESULT DOCUMENTS

摘要

Architecture that represents search results as tiles in a tile-based user interface. The tiles can be images or icons selected to represent a search result or multiple search results. In a broader implementation the tiles can be related to entities as derived from the search results. A web document is received, and on which feature processing is performed to obtain features for each (page, image) tuple. The features are also input to representative image classification, along with the other features to output image classification data. Representative image classification calculates representative scores for every (page, image) pair and (page, image set) pair, and the images are ranked for presentation and viewing in the tile-based user interface. User interaction can be via a touch-based user interface to return and view search results related to a selected tile.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
an image selection component that selects representative images for search results related to a query; a tile-based user interface that presents one or more of the representative images as tiles for interactive access of the corresponding search results; and a microprocessor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with the image selection component.
