Abstract
One or more embodiments of the disclosure include methods and systems that allows for improved user navigation within a group of content items. For example, a content navigation system can identify a content item within a group of content items to provide to a user in response to a user interaction. In some embodiments, the content navigation system can identify a content item to provide to the user based on one or more factors, such as a characteristic of a user interaction and a relevance of a content item. In addition, the content navigation system can strategically provide advertisement content items to a user by adjusting one or more factors with respect to advertisement content items.
Claims1
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device to:
- detect a user interaction with respect to a graphical user interface comprising a listing of a plurality of content items;
- initiate, in response to the user interaction, an inertial scroll through the listing of the plurality of content items in accordance with one or more characteristics of the user interaction;
- identify a first content item from the plurality of content items, the first content item to be shown within the graphical user interface at an end of the inertial scroll;
- determine that a second content item within the plurality of content items has a higher predicted level of interest than the first content item;
- and
- in response to determining that the second content item has a higher predicted level of interest than the first content item, modify the inertial scroll to end with the second content item shown within the graphical user interface instead of the first content item.
