  • Patent number: 9588635
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that enable users to interact with displayed content. An extensible user interface (UI) model framework is provided that enables a user device to provide multiple content feedback mechanisms at the same time, such as touch, non-touch, motion, gestures, voice, etc. A user is enabled to choose a most comfortable way for the user to interact with the displayed content using the user device, and an indication of the interaction may be sent to a content provider. The content provider may provide next content for display based on the received feedback. The user device may enable the user to use one or more feedback mechanisms at any time, including a combination of feedback mechanisms. Additional interaction modules can be plugged in to enable any number of additional ways of interacting with displayed content on the user device.

  • Publication number: 20150178754
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are described that incentivize users to provide feedback about, consume, and/or interact with content displayed on a user device. In accordance with embodiments, the user provides feedback about content items displayed on the user device, wherein each instance of feedback is classified into one of a plurality of predefined feedback types. Information related to the number of instances of each type of feedback generated by the user is transmitted from the user device to a server where such information is used to determine the value of an incentive to be awarded to the user. The incentives may take the form of credits that are accumulated in association with a user account and an interface may be provided by which the user can redeem the credits to obtain one or more items of value.
