20080306934 | USING LINK STRUCTURE FOR SUGGESTING RELATED QUERIES - An approach is provided for determining related queries for a given search query based on the linking structure of electronic documents within a document set. Document titles are used to represent potential search queries and links between the electronic documents are used to determine relationships between the potential search queries. As such, the document set may be represented as a directed graph in which document titles (which represent potential search queries) are nodes and links are edges between the nodes. When a particular search query is received, a corresponding node is identified and related queries are determined by identifying other nodes having connections with that node. | 12-11-2008 |
20090064007 | GENERATING AND ORGANIZING REFERENCES TO ONLINE CONTENT - Systems, methods, and computer storage media for generating a virtual workspace that references online media content of interest, facilitates re-visitation of encountered instances of content, and shares those instances with other software applications are provided. Upon receiving an indication that an online media content item has been selected, at least a reference thereto is copied to a virtual workspace where it may be accessed at a later time. The virtual workspace may be organized into content collections via the use of reference groupings, folders, categories, tags, labels, and the like and may be accessible in the context of a plurality of applications. In embodiments, the virtual workspace is associated with a display area that is presented concurrently with an application being utilized so that the virtual workspace may be accessed and utilized without leaving the context of an active application. | 03-05-2009 |
20090240683 | Presenting query suggestions based upon content items - Systems and methods for determining query suggestions based upon content items are provided. Content items may include, without limitation, a search query result item, e.g., displayed on a search results web page, an advertisement, and a query-based query suggestion. Once determined content-item-based query suggestions are presented to the user. If desired, such presentation may be dynamically exposed in response to a user action, for instance, in response to a user hovering over a portion of the associated content item for at least a predetermined period of time. | 09-24-2009 |
20090251407 | DEVICE INTERACTION WITH COMBINATION OF RINGS - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates interacting with a device and/or data associated with the device. A computing device can display a portion of data. A ring component can interact with the portion of data to control the device by detecting at least one of a movement, a gesture, an inductance, or a resistance related to a user wearing the ring component on at least one digit on at least one hand. | 10-08-2009 |
20090254867 | ZOOM FOR ANNOTATABLE MARGINS - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates interacting with a portion of data that includes pyramidal volumes of data. A portion of image data can represent a computer displayable multiscale image with at least two substantially parallel planes of view in which a first plane and a second plane are alternatively displayable based upon a level of zoom and which are related by a pyramidal volume, wherein the multiscale image includes a pixel at a vertex of the pyramidal volume. An edit component can receive and incorporate an annotation to the multiscale image corresponding to at least one of the two substantially parallel planes of view. A display engine can display the annotation on the multiscale image based upon navigation to the parallel plane of view corresponding to such annotation. | 10-08-2009 |
20090276445 | DYNAMIC MULTI-SCALE SCHEMA - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates organizing and presenting data within a database. A data store can store a portion of data accessible to a user. A real time monitor component can dynamically track an amount of access for the portion of data within the data store. A display engine can render a multi-scaled view of the portion of data, wherein the multi-scaled view is based on the amount of access in which a size representation of the data is correlated with the amount of access. | 11-05-2009 |
20090303253 | PERSONALIZED SCALING OF INFORMATION - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates rendering of a portion of viewable data. A web page, a user interface or other displayable information can be personalized such that disparate portions of the displayable information are rendered at varying scales, resolutions, sizes, etc. A personalizer can generate personalization data related to a user. The personalization data can include a display property associated with a portion of viewable data. In addition, a display engine is provided that displays the portion of viewable data based upon the personalization data and display property. | 12-10-2009 |
20090307618 | ANNOTATE AT MULTIPLE LEVELS - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates interacting with a portion of data that includes pyramidal volumes of data. A portion of image data can represent a computer displayable multi-scale image with at least two substantially parallel planes of view in which a first plane and a second plane are alternatively displayable based upon a level of zoom and which are related by a pyramidal volume, wherein the multi-scale image includes a pixel at a vertex of the pyramidal volume. An annotation component can determine a set of annotations associated with at least one of the two substantially parallel planes of view. A display engine can display at least a subset of the set of annotations on the multi-scale image based upon navigation to the parallel plane of view associated with the set of annotations. | 12-10-2009 |
20090310851 | 3D CONTENT AGGREGATION BUILT INTO DEVICES - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates capturing a portion 2-dimensional (2D) data for implementation within a 3-dimensional (3D) virtual environment. A device that can capture one or more 2D images, wherein the 2D image is representative of a corporeal object from a perspective dictated by an orientation of the device. The device can comprise a content aggregator that can construct a 3D image from two or more 2D images collected by the device, in which the construction is based at least in part upon aligning each corresponding perspective associated with each 2D image. | 12-17-2009 |
20090319940 | NETWORK OF TRUST AS MARRIED TO MULTI-SCALE - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates visually representing data relationships within a network. A network includes a graphical representation of a user in which the network is a node structure with relationships between two or more users. An organization component that can analyze one of a degree of separation between two or more users represented within the network or an expertise level of a user represented within the network, the expertise level corresponds to a topic. The organization component can scale the portion of graphic representative based upon the analysis. | 12-24-2009 |
20100083155 | OBJECT SEARCH UI AND DRAGGING OBJECT RESULTS - A unique object navigation system, user interface, and method that facilitate faster and smoother navigation of objects are provided. For example, the system can generate a plurality of objects that can be rendered on a display space that spans a single page in length, thereby mitigating the need to navigate through multiple pages. The system can determine the length of the page according to the number of objects generated. To view off-screen objects, an infinite scroll component can be employed. The amount of scroll space needed to view the plurality of objects can be determined in part by the length of the page and/or by the number of objects. The objects can also be viewed in a film strip format that is infinitely scrollable. The film strip view allows a view of the objects to be maintained while also viewing a selected object in greater detail at the same time. | 04-01-2010 |
