US 2017/0371880 A1 · METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING A SEARCH RESULT

Abstract

The present teaching relates to generating search result information. In one example, at least one search result is obtained in response to a search query. Based on the at least one search result, a search result organization style may be determined, the search result organization style comprising a framed structure including a first plurality of frames. An objective function for organizing the at least one search result may be determined. A second plurality of content items from the at least one search result may be identified based on the objective function. An assignment for one or more content items from the second plurality to at least one frame in the framed structure may be determined based on the objective function. Presentation information may be generated indicating a manner by which the one or more content items are to be presented based on the assignment and the search result organization style.

identifying a second plurality of content items from the at least one search result based on the objective function;
determining an assignment for one or more content items from the second plurality of content items to at least one frame in the framed structure based on the objective function;
and
generating presentation information indicating a manner by which the one or more content items are to be presented based on the assignment of the one or more content items and the search result organization style.

4 more elements

A system comprising at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform connected to a network for generating search result information, the system comprising:

an organization style determiner configured to:
obtain at least one search result in response to a search query;
determine, based on the at least one search result, a search result organization style to be used, wherein the search result organization style comprises a framed structure including a first plurality of frames;
and
identify a second plurality of content items from the at least one such result;
an objective determiner configured to determine an objective function for organizing the at least one search result, wherein the second plurality of content items are identified based on the objective function;
an item selection unit configured to determine an assignment for one or more content items from the second plurality of content items to at least one frame in the framed structure based on the objective function;
and
a search result organizer configured to generate presentation information indicating a manner by which the one or more content items are to be presented based on the assignment of the one or more content items and the search result organization style.

6 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

obtain at least one search result in response to a search query;
determine, based on the at least one search result, a search result organization style to be used, wherein the search result organization style comprises a framed structure including a first plurality of frames;
determine an objective function for organizing the at least one search result;
identify a second plurality of content items from the at least one search result based on the objective function;
determine an assignment for one or more content items from the second plurality of content items to at least one frame in the framed structure based on the objective function;
and
generate presentation information indicating a manner by which the one or more content items are to be presented based on the assignment of the one or more content items and the search result organization style.
