  • Publication number: 20230325446
    Abstract: Described is a system and method for enabling visual search for information. With each selection of a search term, additional search terms are dynamically selected and presented to the user in conjunction with results matching the currently selected search terms. Likewise, a selected search term may be tokenized and a graphical token presented to the user to represent the selected search term.

  • Publication number: 20230229695
    Abstract: Described is a system and method for enabling dynamic selection of a search input. For example, rather than having a static search input box, the search input may be dynamically positioned such that it encompasses a portion of displayed information. An image segment that includes a representation of the encompassed portion of the displayed information is generated and processed to determine an object represented in the portion of the displayed information. Additional images with visually similar representations of objects are then determined and presented to the user.

  • Publication number: 20220343394
    Abstract: This application describes a system and process for providing object identifiers relating to real world objects to users based on the location of the user and the anticipated interested of the user in an object within a defined distance of the user. For example, if the user is within a retail store, a portable device associated with the user may detect or receive a beacon transmitted from a location within the retail store and object identifiers representative of objects within the store may be generated and provided to the user. In some implementations, only object identifier representative of items determined to be of likely interest to the user may be provided for presentation to the user.

  • Publication number: 20210382934
    Abstract: Described is a system and method for enabling dynamic selection of a search input. For example, rather than having a static search input box, the search input may be dynamically positioned such that it encompasses a portion of displayed information. For example, a user may touch a touch-based display using two fingers to invoke the dynamic search input and then determine a size and a position of the dynamic search input by moving their fingers on the display. An image segment that includes a representation of the encompassed portion of the displayed information is generated and processed to determine an object represented in the portion of the displayed information. Additional images with visually similar representations of objects are then determined and presented to the user.

  • Patent number: 10152199
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods that enable users to easily take action on objects through use of a contextual menu. The contextual menu may be independent of the application and/or device through which the object is accessed and allows the user to perform actions with respect to an object. The selected action may be locally performed and/or performed at a location remote from the client device.

  • Publication number: 20180121510
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods that suggest candidate recipients to receive an object identifier from a first user. For example, a first user, independent of a conversation with a second user, may select, close-up, or otherwise view an object identifier. The system, upon detecting the interaction with the object identifier by the first user, may determine one or more second users to suggest to the first user as candidate recipients with which the first user can share the viewed object identifier. The systems and methods may also suggest object identifiers to share with a selected recipient and/or determine two or more users that have a common connection and share an object identifier related to the connection with each of those users.

  • Publication number: 20170063753
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for determining object identifiers to suggest to a first user for use in including in a communication with a second user. For example, a first user (sending user) may be communicating in an Internet based social community with a second user (receiving user) via a chat messaging interface. As part of that communication, the first user may desire to send, present or otherwise share an object identifier, such as an image of an object, with the second user. In suggesting an object identifier, the context of the communication may be determined and object identifiers associated with the sending user that are relevant to the communication may be determined and suggested to the sending user.
