US 2017/0322984 A1 · MULTI-DIMENSIONAL SEARCH

Abstract

Example methods and systems are directed to providing multi-dimensional search results. A source (e.g., a closed captioning stream) may provide a series of keywords. The series of keywords may be used to generate a series of searches. The results from the searches may be presented as part of a user interface in a grid. For example, one row may be presented for each keyword, with the row for the keyword containing the results from searching using that keyword. Alternatively, one column may be presented for each keyword, with the column for the keyword containing the results from searching using that keyword. The series of keywords may be generated once. Alternatively, new keywords may be periodically added to the series of keywords, causing the grid to be updated. Old keywords and their corresponding search results may periodically be removed from the grid.

Claims21

Dependent claims

(canceled)

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, by a client device, streaming data;
processing, by the client device, the streaming data at predetermined time periods to identify search criteria;
receiving, by the client device, first search results responsive to a first search criterion of the search criteria, second search results responsive to a second search criterion of the search criteria, and third search results responsive to a third search criterion of the search criteria;
presenting, by the client device, the first search results and the second search results within a first time period during which the client device excludes the third search results from presentation;
and
presenting, by the client device, the second search results and the third search results within a second time period during which the client device excludes the first search results from presentation.

3 more elements

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, by one or more servers, search criteria extracted from streaming data at predetermined time periods;
determining, by the one or more servers, first search results responsive to a first search criterion of the search criteria;
second search results responsive to a second search criterion of the search criteria, and third search results responsive to a third search criterion of the search criteria;
transmitting, by the one or more servers to a client device, first data causing the client device to present the first search results and the second search results within a first time period during which the client device excludes the third search results from presentation;
and
transmitting, by the one or more servers to the client device, second data causing the client device to present the second search results and the third search results within a second time period during which the client device excludes the first search results from presentation.
