摘要

The method involves performing a search i.e. thumbnail search, of three-dimensional objects that corresponds to entered search criterion, in a database, and generating search results containing the searched objects. Another search of the objects is performed based on the search result, which comprises highest degree of correspondence with the search criterion. The search results of the former search and the latter search are graphically represented in a view of a graphical user interface of a computer system. An independent claim is also included for a data processing device.
