Patent number: 11416137Abstract: Methods and systems for providing access to contents which are semantically related to a displayed content(s). The access can be provided through a multi-dimensional user interface (UI). The method includes detecting a predefined gesture with respect to a first content. Based on the detected gesture, determining closest semantically linked content (second content). The semantic link between the first content and the second content can be established based on parameters such as sharing history, frequency of usage, type, a location, similarity, hierarchy, key words/phrases, tags, and so on. The semantically linked contents can be assigned onto distinct dimensions of the multi-dimensional UI space. The multi-dimensional UI space can be traversed through different dimensions using the predefined gesture, and each traversal from one dimension to another can be semantically linked.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Khaidem Suman Singha, Kiran Prasanth Rajan, Tuhin Chakraborty, Vinayak Pancholi, Saumitri Choudhury, Hallah Zorinsangi, Hema Aravindan, Navin N
