  • Patent number: 11340754
    Abstract: Media sets may be presented as a media presentation (e.g., a slideshow or a thumbnail set), but many such presentations exhaust the attention of a user, particularly for large media sets. Instead, ratings may be identified that represents the relevance or interest of respective media objects of the media set to the user. These ratings may be identified explicitly by the user or automatically detected (e.g., by assessing image quality or monitoring user interactions with respective media objects). A zoomable media presentation of the media set may first present only media objects having a high rating, and upon zooming in near a media object, may insert, near the zoomed media object, one or more media objects associated with the zoomed media object and having a lower rating. This presentation therefore hierarchically organizes the media set, and utilizes zoom operations as a “drill-down” metaphor within the hierarchy of the media set.

  • Patent number: 11294784
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing predictive user interface elements. A computing system may train a machine-learning model to identify issues that are likely being experienced by users contacting a customer service system based at least in part on historical user account data of a plurality of user accounts. When a request for assistance is received, user account data corresponding to the request may be obtained and provided to the model to identify issues likely experienced by a user. A number of graphical user interface (GUI) elements (e.g., “match cards”), each corresponding to one of the identified issues, may be generated, ranked, and presented in accordance with the ranking. Each GUI element may be selectable. Upon selection additional data likely to be pertinent to the selected issue may be presented alleviating a need to search for this data as would be the case in conventional systems.
