SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEMANTIC OVERLAY FOR A SEARCHABLE SPACE

摘要

The embodiments of the present invention provide a novel way of searching and interacting with content available via a network, such as the Internet, and the World Wide Web. In some embodiments, systems and methods provide a semantically-oriented structure for organizing and accessing content items. The semantic organization can be derived by leveraging user interactions with the content items. The systems and methods leverage the semantics of the content items to help the user find content items that are consistent with the purpose of the user's search. In addition, the embodiments provide a novel navigation paradigm of search results and content items so that the user can more intuitively and more efficiently get information form an information space.

主权项

1. A system for organizing and presenting content items in a semantically meaningful fashion, said system comprising:
a network; one or more content sources available on the network; at least one server configured to receive information indicating user interactions with the content items, semantically categorize the content items based on the received information indicating user interactions, and organize the content items into an organized content structure, wherein the organized content structure comprises collections of the content items, and wherein the collections are configured based on the semantic categories for the content items; and a client device, coupled to the at least one server, configured to present information for accessing a representation of the organized content structure based on at least one hierarchy of folders, wherein each folder presents one or more of the content items based on the collections to which they belong within the organized content structure.
