Abstract
A computer-perceptible search input, whether typed, spoken, based upon machine vision, detection and/or interpretation of gestures, for example, may be received by a computing device from a single user. The received input by the single user may be matched with one or more stored digital items based upon prior inputs by the single user that previously led the single user to access the digital item(s). That is, it may be determined whether the received input is the same or similar to a previous input or inputs that led the computing device to search for, select and present digital items that were subsequently accessed (e.g., opened) by the user, which action signifies a successful search.
Claims21
A computing device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
- receive an input from a user, the received input comprising a search term;
- and
- identify a digital item corresponding to the received input based at least partly on:
- the received input;
- prior accesses of the digital item based upon prior inputs of search terms by the user;
- and
- prior associations of the search terms of the prior inputs with prior search results comprising the digital item,
- wherein at least some of the search terms of the prior inputs are unrelated to a name, original metadata, and content of the digital item and have previously led the user to find and access the digital item.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving an input from a user, the received input comprising a search term;
- and
- identifying a digital item corresponding to the received input based at least partly on:
- the received input;
- prior accesses of the digital item based upon prior inputs of search terms by the user;
- and
- prior associations of the search terms of the prior inputs with prior search results comprising the digital item,
- wherein at least some of the search terms of the prior inputs are unrelated to a name, original metadata and content of the digital item and have previously led the user to find and access the digital item.
A computing device, comprising:
- a memory means;
- and
- a processing means coupled to the memory means, the processing means being configured to execute instructions stored in the memory means to:
- receive an input from a user, the received input comprising a search term;
- and
- identify a digital item in a data storage corresponding to the received input based at least partly on:
- the received input;
- prior accesses of the digital item stored on the data storage based upon prior inputs of search terms by the user;
- and
- prior associations of the search terms of the prior inputs with prior search results comprising the digital item,
- wherein at least some of the search terms of the prior inputs are unrelated to a name, original metadata and content of the digital item and have previously led the user to find and access the digital item.
