  • Patent number: 11972101
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a user interface (UI) that displays a feed of content items to a user. The content items in the feed may include content related to a same or similar topic, such as content items related to a recent political event. The interface can include an interactive slider on a scale that permits the user to adjust the displayed content according to an attribute described by the scale. More specifically, content items are assigned an attribute value and the location of the slider modifies the selection process for content items so that content items having an attribute value corresponding to the location of the slider are selected and displayed in the feed.

  • Patent number: 11966575
    Abstract: An interface may receive user input, wherein two or more interactive shapes are shown on the interface, wherein each interactive shape represents a query of scoring an attribute, and wherein a size parameter of a first of the two or more interactive shapes is indicative of the scoring of the represented attribute. The method comprises retrieving a user selection of one interactive shape of the two or more interactive shapes so that the one interactive shape becomes a selected master shape and the remaining of the two or more interactive shapes becomes non-selected slave shapes, retrieving a user request for increasing or decreasing of the size parameter of the selected master shape, and resealing the size parameter of the non-selected slave shapes such that a sum of the size parameters of the two or more interactive shapes is kept at a constant value.
