  • Modular search object framework
    Patent number: 9830388
    Abstract: A modular search object framework provides modular search results including entity and non-entity search results. The framework includes circuitry that outputs an interactive entity section based on an online search. The interactive section includes a plurality of moveable visual objects, such as cards that can be shuffled, flipped, or swiped around.
    Type: Grant

  • Intent based search results associated with a modular search object framework
    Patent number: 9535945
    Abstract: A modular search object framework provides modular search results including entity search results reflecting the intent of a searcher. Also, an interface (such as a graphical user interface provided by the framework), aids in organizing results (such as links, titles, and description) according to the intent of the user as manifest in the search query and interactions with the interface. Circuitry of the framework also predicts user intent from historical information corresponding to the searcher (or to a group with which the searcher is associated).

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING TINTED GLASS EFFECT FOR INTERFACE CONTROLS AND ELEMENTS
    Publication number: 20150317945
    Abstract: A system stored in a non-transitory medium executable by processor circuitry is provided for generating a tinted glass visual effect. The system includes interface circuitry configured to receive a search query and query processing circuitry configured to identify a content item related to the search query and to retrieve data for the content item. Image editing circuitry is communicatively coupled to the query processing circuitry. The image editing circuitry is configured to identify a display element associated with the content item from the retrieved data, dynamically generate a semi-transparent portion of the display element, and apply the semi-transparent portion of the display element to a background of an interface element. Display logic circuitry is also communicatively coupled to the interface circuitry and is configured to display, in response to the search query, the interface element as a sub-portion of the display element associated with the content item.
