Abstract
Displays are generated on screens of computer interfaces that facilitate viewing search results in context. Each image returned as a search result is visually presented to a user with additional context images from the same digital media object from which the search result image is taken. If the media object is a slide presentation, the additional context images can include immediately preceding and succeeding slides or other slides in the presentation.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- searching a digital object collection comprising a plurality of digital objects having sequences of images;
- obtaining a plurality of search result images from the sequences of images in the plurality of digital objects;
- displaying the search result images obtained from the digital objects on a screen of a computer interface in order of relevance;
- displaying local context images in association, respectively, with the search result images, wherein each local context image is obtained from the same digital object as the search result image with which it is associated.

A system comprising:
- a memory;
- a digital object collection comprising a plurality of digital objects having sequences of images;
- a search engine;
- a computer interface including a screen;
- at least one processor, coupled to the computer interface and memory, and operative to:
- cause the search engine to search the digital object collection in response to a query;
- obtain a plurality of search result images from the sequences of images in the plurality of digital objects;
- display the search result images obtained from the digital objects on the screen of the computer interface in order of relevance;
- display local context images in association, respectively, with the search result images, wherein each local context image is obtained from the same digital object as the search result image with which it is associated.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- accumulating search result images based on a query from a database comprising digital objects having sequences of images;
- accumulating local context images associated, respectively, with the search result images from the digital objects;
- forming a plurality of local context sets, each of the local context sets comprising one of the search result images and one or more associated local context images from a same one of the digital objects;
- forming a plurality of containers on a display of a computer interface;
- causing the search result images to be visually distinguished from the local context images;
- displaying the local context sets within the containers on the computer interface in an order based on relevance to the query.
