Abstract

Examples of the present disclosure describe an enhanced content sharing platform. In aspects, the enhanced content sharing platform provides an interface enabling users to search for and navigate content. The interface may comprise various interface elements for searching, navigating, and/or interacting with content accessible to the enhanced content sharing platform. At least one of the interface elements may be a mode selection interface element. The mode selection interface element may be configured to select and toggle between various content domains available to the enhanced content sharing platform. Each content domain may be associated with a corresponding set of interface elements, and may meaningfully limit content search results to the content domain in which the content was searched. Additionally, new and/or subsequent content searches may be executed in the current selected content domain without requiring a manual (re)selection of that content domain.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, performs a method comprising:
accessing an enhanced content sharing platform during a current user session, wherein, when the enhanced content sharing platform is accessed, content associated with a previous content domain selected during a previous user session is displayed, and wherein the enhanced content sharing platform comprises a mode toggle control for selecting from a plurality of content domains;
using the mode toggle control to manually select a first content domain from the plurality of content domains, the first content domain remaining selected until the mode toggle control is used to manually select a second content domain from the plurality of content domains, and wherein queries and operations received after the first content domain has been selected are performed in a context of the first content domain;
and
presenting the first content domain using an interface specific to the first content domain, wherein:
the interface specific to the first content domain provides:
a multimedia playback section, wherein video or audio content associated with the first content domain is played in the multimedia playback section when the first content domain is selected;
and
a content section, wherein multimedia content associated with the first content domain is presented in the content section when the first content domain is selected;
and
when the second content domain is manually selected using the mode toggle control, queries and operations received after the second content domain has been selected are performed in a context of the second content domain until the mode toggle control is used to select a different content domain from the plurality of content domains;
wherein the enhanced content sharing platform is associated with a data set specific to the enhanced content sharing platform, the data set comprising:
a first data subset used to provide content for the first content domain, the first data subset comprising an indication of the first content domain;
and
a second data subset used to provide content for the second content domain, the second data subset comprising an indication of the second content domain and being different from the first data subset.

14 more elements

A method comprising:

accessing, during a current user session, an enhanced content sharing platform, wherein accessing the enhanced content sharing platform causes content associated with a previous content domain selected during a previous user session to be displayed, and wherein the enhanced content sharing platform comprises a mode toggle control for selecting from a plurality of content domains;
manually selecting, using the mode toggle control, a first content domain from the plurality of content domains, wherein selecting the first content domain comprises applying a first context associated with the first content domain to the enhanced content sharing platform, and wherein queries and operations received after the first content domain has been selected are performed in a context of the first content domain until a second content domain is manually selected using the mode toggle control;
and
presenting the first content domain using an interface specific to the first content domain, wherein:
the interface specific to the first content domain provides:
a multimedia playback section, wherein video or audio content associated with the first content domain is played in the multimedia playback section when the first content domain is selected;
and
a content section, wherein multimedia content associated with the first content domain is presented in the content section when the first content domain is selected;
and
when a second content domain is manually selected using the mode toggle control, queries and operations received after the second content domain has been selected are performed in a context of the second content domain while the second content domain remains manually selected;
wherein the enhanced content sharing platform is associated with a data set specific to the enhanced content sharing platform, the data set comprising:
a first data subset used to provide content for the first content domain, the first data subset comprising an indication of the first content domain;
and
a second data subset used to provide content for the second content domain, the second data subset comprising an indication of the second content domain and being different from the first data subset.

11 more elements

A computer-readable storage device storing computer executable instructions that when executed cause a computing system to perform a method comprising:

accessing, during a current user session, an enhanced content sharing platform, wherein accessing the enhanced content sharing platform causes content associated with a previous content domain selected during a previous user session to be displayed, and wherein the enhanced content sharing platform comprises a mode toggle control for selecting from a plurality of content domains;
manually selecting, using the mode toggle control, a first content domain from the plurality of content domains, wherein selecting the first content domain comprises applying a first context associated with the first content domain to the enhanced content sharing platform, and wherein queries and operations received after the first content domain has been selected are performed in a context of the first content domain until a second content domain is manually selected using the mode toggle control;
and
presenting the first content domain using an interface specific to the first content domain, wherein:
the interface specific to the first content domain provides:
a multimedia playback section, wherein video or audio content associated with the first content domain is played in the multimedia playback section when the first content domain is selected;
and
a content section, wherein multimedia content associated with the first content domain is presented in the content section when the first content domain is selected;
and
when the second content domain is manually selected using the mode toggle control, queries and operations received after the second content domain has been selected are performed in a context of the second content domain while the second content domain remains manually selected;
wherein the enhanced content sharing platform is associated with a data set specific to the enhanced content sharing platform, the data set comprising:
a first data subset used to provide content for the first content domain, the first data subset comprising an indication of the first content domain;
and
a second data subset used to provide content for the second content domain, the second data subset comprising an indication of the second content domain and being different from the first data subset.
