Patent number: 10521082Abstract: A search system includes a memory storing application records that each corresponds to an application and includes data related to an attribute of the corresponding application. A processor executes instructions stored in the memory. The instructions include receiving a search query from a user device. The search query is based on a query string and indicates an application category and subcategory selected by a user of the user device via first and second rotational user interface elements. The instructions include identifying a list of application records according to the application category and subcategory. The instructions include ranking the list of application records based on number of downloads and matches between text data of the application record and the query string. The instructions include selecting a subset of the list of application records according to the ranking and transmitting search results to the user device based on the subset.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Paresh Vakhariya, Cheng-Ruei Fan

Patent number: 10310834Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a computing device, search results transmitted from a search system in communication with the computing device. The search results include a header for an application executable on the computing device and application access mechanisms associated with the header. Each application access mechanism has a reference to the application and indicates one or more performable operations for the application. The method further includes displaying, on a display in communication with the computing device, a graphical user interface including the header and user selectable access links grouped with the header. Each access link is associated with an application access mechanism for the application.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Julia Lipton, Tomer Kagan, Liron Shapira, Cheng-Ruei Fan

Publication number: 20170147659Abstract: A user device includes a computing device. The computing device transmits a search query from the user device and receives a first grouped set of search results based on the search query. The first grouped set corresponds to a first application. The first grouped set includes a header and at least two search results. The header includes a first access mechanism corresponding to a first state of the first application. Each of the search results (i) corresponds to a respective second state of the first application responsive to the search query and (ii) includes a respective second access mechanism corresponding to the respective second state. A display displays (i) the first grouped set of search results and (ii) a header link corresponding to the header. In response to the header link being selected, the computing device accesses the first state of the application using the first access mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2017Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Cheng-Ruei FAN, Tomer KAGAN, Liron SHAPIRA, Julia LIPTON

Patent number: 9626443Abstract: A method of performing a search includes receiving, at a computing device, search results transmitted from a search system in communication with the computing device. The search results include a header for an application executable on the computing device and application access mechanisms associated with the header. Each application access mechanism has a reference to the application and indicates one or more performable operations for the application. The method includes displaying, on a display in communication with the computing device, a graphical user interface including the header, an expansion element associated with the header, and user selectable access links grouped with the header. Each access link is associated with an application access mechanism for the application. The expansion element has an expanded state and a collapsed state.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2014Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: Quixey, Inc.Inventors: Cheng-Ruei Fan, Tomer Kagan, Liron Shapira, Julia Lipton

Patent number: 9619118Abstract: A wheel-based user interface provides navigation between categories and subcategories of applications. A first browse wheel contains a plurality of category regions, each corresponding to an application category. In response to a user selection of an application category received at the first browse wheel, a second browse wheel is displayed. The second browse wheel contains a plurality of subcategory regions, each corresponding to an application subcategory within the selected application category. In response to a user selection of an application subcategory received at the second browse wheel, an application search query is generated using the selected category and subcategory.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Quixey, IncInventors: Paresh Vakharia, Cheng-Ruei Fan
