US 2015/0317945 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING TINTED GLASS EFFECT FOR INTERFACE CONTROLS AND ELEMENTS

Abstract

A system stored in a non-transitory medium executable by processor circuitry is provided for generating a tinted glass visual effect. The system includes interface circuitry configured to receive a search query and query processing circuitry configured to identify a content item related to the search query and to retrieve data for the content item. Image editing circuitry is communicatively coupled to the query processing circuitry. The image editing circuitry is configured to identify a display element associated with the content item from the retrieved data, dynamically generate a semi-transparent portion of the display element, and apply the semi-transparent portion of the display element to a background of an interface element. Display logic circuitry is also communicatively coupled to the interface circuitry and is configured to display, in response to the search query, the interface element as a sub-portion of the display element associated with the content item.

Dependent claims

A system stored in a non-transitory medium executable by processor circuitry, comprising:

interface circuitry configured to receive a search query;
query processing circuitry configured to identify a content item related to the search query and to retrieve data for the content item;
image editing circuitry communicatively coupled to the query processing circuitry and configured to:
identify a display element associated with the content item from the retrieved data;
dynamically generate a semi-transparent portion of the display element;
and
apply the semi-transparent portion of the display element to a background of an interface element;
and
display logic circuitry communicatively coupled to the interface circuitry and configured to display, in response to the search query, the interface element as a sub-portion of the display element associated with the content item.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

processing, by query processing circuitry communicatively coupled to a network communications circuitry, a search query to identify search result objects associated with the search query;
receiving, at the network communications circuitry, a search result object associated with the search query and a graphical display element related to the search result object;
processing, by image editing circuitry, the graphical display element for the search result object to dynamically generate a semi-transparent portion of the graphical display element;
identifying, by the image editing circuitry, an interface element associated with the search result object and applying the semi-transparent portion of the graphical display element as a background of the interface element;
and
generating, by display logic circuitry, display logic for displaying graphical search result objects to a user including the search result object and the semi-transparent portion of the graphical display element as a background of the interface element.
