  • Patent number: 9588989
    Abstract: Search systems and computer-implemented search methods are described. In one aspect, a search system includes a communications interface configured to access a plurality of data items of a collection, wherein the data items include a plurality of image objects individually comprising image data utilized to generate an image of the respective data item. The search system may include processing circuitry coupled with the communications interface and configured to process the image data of the data items of the collection to identify a plurality of image content facets which are indicative of image content contained within the images and to associate the image objects with the image content facets and a display coupled with the processing circuitry and configured to depict the image objects associated with the image content facets.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130044114
    Abstract: Visual representations having visual nodes that can each show up to two levels of an abstraction hierarchy of data, extracted elements of the data, and/or categories thereof, with the optional ability to explode the data, the extracted elements, and/or the categories into additional visual nodes provide capability for deeper composition exploration. Relationships among the data, the extracted elements, and/or the categories can be represented via lines within and across visual nodes. The visual representation can provide an user with awareness of different attributes of the data, the extracted elements, and/or the categories in context even for large, complex corpora of data. The representations of the data, the extracted elements, and/or the categories in the visual representation can be sorted, can depict relative size or quantity across various attributes, and can provide insight into relationships based on metadata and/or content.
