Abstract
Some embodiments include a method for gesture based search. Other embodiments of related methods and systems are also disclosed.
Claims20
1) A method of gesture based searching, at least part of the method being implemented via execution of computer instructions configured to run at one or more processing modules and configured to be stored at one or more memory storage modules, the method comprising:
- executing one or more first computer instructions configured to provide one or more search targets, the one or more search targets corresponding respectively to one or more search field categories;
- executing one or more second computer instructions configured to recognize one or more gestures, the one or more gestures being indicative of at least one first target of the one or more search targets;
- executing one or more third computer instructions configured to filter first media source metadata associated with a first media source based on at least one first category of the one or more search field categories to provide first filtered metadata of the first media source metadata, the at least one first category being associated with the at least one first target;
- and
- executing one or more fourth computer instructions configured to identify at least one second media source based upon the first filtered metadata;
- wherein:
- the computer instructions comprise the first, second, third, and fourth computer instructions.

8) A system comprising:
- a search module, the search module comprising:
- a gesture recognition module configured to recognize one or more gestures;
- a target module configured to identify at least one first target of one or more search targets based on the one or more gestures, the one or more search targets corresponding respectively to one or more search field categories;
- a filter module configured to filter first media source metadata associated with a first media source based on at least one first category of the one or more search field categories to provide first filtered metadata of the first media source metadata, the at least one first category being associated with the at least one first target;
- and
- an identification module configured to identify at least one second media source based upon the first filtered metadata.

16) A method of providing a system, the method comprising:
- providing a search module, where providing the search module comprises:
- providing a gesture recognition module configured to recognize one or more gestures;
- providing a target module configured to identify at least one first target of one or more search targets based on the one or more gestures, the one or more search targets corresponding respectively to one or more search field categories;
- providing a filter module configured to filter first media source metadata associated with a first media source based on at least one first category of the one or more search field categories to provide first filtered metadata of the first media source metadata, the at least one first category being associated with the at least one first target;
- and
- providing an identification module configured to identify at least one second media source based upon the first filtered metadata.
