Patent number: 10275534Abstract: Systems and methods for providing content are disclosed. In an embodiment, information encoding at least one keyword that is associated with first content accessed by a user is received. A search query based at least in part on at least one keyword is executed to identify items. In response to a request from the user to access second content, a response is generated to the request that includes item information associated with at least a subset of the identified items. The response is provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2015Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Douglas Tak-Lai Wong, Vivekanand Kirubanandan, Blair L.

Patent number: 10049163Abstract: Aspects of connected phrase search queries and titles are described. In one embodiment, a phrase in a search string may be identified with reference to a compilation data store. The compilation data store may include various collaborative, taxonomy, and brand name data, for example. After a phrase is identified in the search string, a search query may be generated based on the phrase. For example, a catalog of items may be queried to generate a query result, and the query result may be parsed for display to a user. In various embodiments, a plurality of phrases may be identified in a search string, and a plurality of search queries may be generated based on combinations of the phrases. In this manner, more search results may be obtained, especially for constrained search strings. The identification of phrases may also be applied to generate variations on titles, in certain embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2013Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Luis Antonio Diniz Fernandes de Morais Sarmento, Edward Thomas Banti, Sean Phillip Forde, Paul Daniel Jaye, Zheshen Wang, Gareth Charles Farrington, Tiffany Celeste Michelon, Aurash Steven Abnar Behbahani

Patent number: 8988450Abstract: Effective color-aware search of a collection of content associated with one or more images is enabled. Content and/or its associated images may be automatically associated with representative palette colors in a suite of color palettes. Color palettes may be of a variety of types and have a hierarchical structure in which lower levels enable increasingly subtle distinctions between shades of color. Color palette hierarchies may be effectively presented, and appropriate portions emphasized based on associated search result sets. Search result sets may be refined and/or reordered in accordance with color palette selections and/or representative confidences of color palette selections for items at least referenced therein.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2013Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Max L. Kanter, Sachin B. Singh, Michel Goldstein, Carl N. Meister, David Charles Couvrette, Walter Manching Tseng, Blair L. Hotchkies, Sarah E. Williams, Sikander Saifullah, Sean P. Forde, John M.

Patent number: 8880547Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating search results when a search string fails to return results as entered. In a representative example, a failure of a first query generated from a search string to identify at least a predefined threshold number of items from among a plurality of items in a data store is detected in a computing device. A plurality of altered versions of the search string is generated in the computing device. A submission of a plurality of second queries to the data store is implemented, where each of the second queries corresponds to one of the altered versions of the search string. A presentation is generated to be rendered of at least two separate groups of items resulting from corresponding ones of the second queries.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2009Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Brent Robert Mills, Daniel R. Parshall, Blair L. Hotchkies, Jason P. Patrikios, Paul Daniel Jaye, Dan Catalin Teodorescu, Jennica Jane Pounds, Luis Alejandro Acosta, David Aaron Lichterman

Patent number: 8694529Abstract: A collection of items may be categorized according to a category hierarchy. A search of the items may be explicitly associated with a particular category in the hierarchy or else unassociated. A set of refinements may be available, for example, to help narrow the search. Refinements may be applicable to items in linked categories. Refinements may be surfaced based at least in part on linked categories associated with the search. Refinements may be surfaced when the search is unassociated with a particular category. For example, a possibly relevant set of categories may be determined. Refinements may be surfaced according to a variety of ordering criteria.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Blair L.

Patent number: 8577879Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments providing navigational aids within item search results. A pool of items is generated in a computing resource in response to a search query and a search context. At least one network page is encoded for rendering by a client. The at least one network page includes a ranked list of at least a portion of the items. The ranked list includes a navigational aid when a relevance score associated with the navigational aid meets a threshold. The relevance score is computed relative to respective relevance scores associated with items in the ranked list. The navigational aid has at least a same prominence within the ranked list as an item.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2009Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Blair L.
