  • Patent number: 8515953
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for constructing a temporal visualization of query results. That is, query results associated with temporal information, such as timestamps, may be used to create a temporal distribution (e.g., query results comprising images and image capture dates, web pages and web page creation dates, etc.). The temporal distribution may comprise a distribution of the query results over time (e.g., query results may be sorted and/or grouped based upon dates specified by the timestamps). A temporal visualization of the query results may be constructed using the temporal distribution. For example, query results may be assigned to date slots within the temporal visualization. The temporal visualization may illustrate a substantial number of query results (e.g., thousands) that may otherwise not be visually presentable at once. Zoom commands and/or hover commands may be processed to provide finer and/or coarser granularity of the query results.
