20110145335 | PRESENTING A GEMSTONE IN A SETTING - A ring design machine receives one or more selections of gemstones and one or more selections of settings and allows a user to “mix and match” gemstones and settings and view a selected gemstone in a compatible setting for that gemstone. To present the gemstone in the setting, the ring design machine presents a combination image that depicts the gemstone in the setting. The ring design machine, which may be implemented using a computer programmed by software, may present the combination image to the user in response to receiving a selection of the gemstone and a selection of the setting from the user via a network. | 06-16-2011 |
20120159368 | SEARCH HISTORY NAVIGATION - A server machine manages a user interface displayed at a client device. The user interface has a graphical layout that includes one or more search icons that respectively represent queries in a history of searches. In response to a cursor event corresponding to one of the search icons, the server machine presents a graphical window that shows information describing a previously executed query. In response to another cursor event corresponding to the search icon, the server machine causes the graphical layout to present search results returned by the previously executed query. Furthermore, in response to a request to delete a particular search icon from the graphical layout, the server machine deletes or ignores a search record corresponding to the particular search icon. | 06-21-2012 |
20120159379 | ITEM PREVIEW WITH AGGREGATION TO A LIST - A server machine manages and presents a user interface. The user interface presents search results, and the server machine receives a cursor input that corresponds to a particular search result. The particular search result references an item available for purchase, and the item is described by descriptors. Responsive to the cursor input, the user interface presents a preview window that contains a descriptor not shown in the particular search result. The server machine receives a further cursor input that indicates the item is to be included in a list of items. Responsive to the further cursor input, the user interface presents a list of items as including an icon that references the item. The icon indicates that the item is included in the list of items. | 06-21-2012 |
20120265647 | INTEGRATED FINDING EXPERIENCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An integrated finding experience is a workflow configured to facilitate a search by a user for one or more items among many items (e.g., an inventory of items). An integrated finding experience machine may provide one or more user interfaces that support the workflow in presenting information differently as the user progresses through a search process (e.g., a finding experience) with respect to a database (e.g., storing information regarding one or more items). For example, the workflow may include various stages of a search process from defining a query, to refining the query, to visually scanning search results, to displaying details of one or more selected search results, to comparing selected search results to each other. Each stage may have a specialized user interface configured to facilitate one or more user activities pertinent to that stage. | 10-18-2012 |
