Abstract
Methods and apparatus related to identifying aspects of media files that are provided to users and ranking query suggestions based on the aspects. Some implementations are directed to ranking the query suggestions of the user who was provided the media file. Some implementations are directed to ranking the query suggestions of a second user that is in the same grouping as the first user. Some implementations are directed to ranking the query suggestions of the first user based on aspects that are related to the provided media file, but not directly associated with the provided media file.
Claims26
A computer implemented method, comprising:
- identifying a provided media file, wherein the provided media file is available to a user for consumption;
- identifying an aspect of the provided media file, wherein the aspect is a specific attribute of the provided media file;
- identifying a search query entered by the user;
- identifying a plurality of query suggestions, wherein the query suggestions are based on the search query;
- determining a similarity between one or more of the query suggestions and the aspect;
- and
- selecting one or more of the query suggestions to provide to the user, wherein a given query suggestion of the query suggestions is selected based on the similarity between the given query suggestion and the aspect.
A system including memory and one or more processors operable to execute instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions include instructions to:
- identify a provided media file, wherein the provided media file is available to a user for consumption;
- identify an aspect of the provided media file, wherein the aspect is a specific attribute of the provided media file;
- identify a search query entered by the user;
- identify a plurality of query suggestions, wherein the query suggestions are based on the search query;
- determine a similarity between one or more of the query suggestions and the aspect;
- and
- select one or more of the query suggestions to provide to the user, wherein a given query suggestion of the query suggestions is selected based on the similarity between the given query suggestion and the aspect.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
- identifying a provided media file, wherein the provided media file is available to a user for consumption;
- identifying an aspect of the provided media file, wherein the aspect is a specific attribute of the provided media file;
- identifying a search query entered by the user;
- identifying a plurality of query suggestions, wherein the query suggestions are based on the search query;
- determining a similarity between one or more of the query suggestions and the aspect;
- and
- selecting one or more of the query suggestions to provide to the user, wherein a given query suggestion of the query suggestions is selected based on the similarity between the given query suggestion and the aspect.
