Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for object discovery and object mapping through an application with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Objects are discovered through an object recommendation channel and through user input of key words and/or key phrases. Each object includes an Intensity of Interest (IoI), which is a relative preference for an object reflected by relative size in the object map. Additionally, the object map provides a visual display which indicates relationships among objects.
Claims20
A method for object discovery comprising:
- an application on a device with a processor and a display receiving a key word or a key phrase;
- the application creating an object for addition to an object map of a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the key word or the key phrase;
- the application positioning the object within the object map based on an Intensity of Interest (IoI) of the object, positions of other objects within the object map, and/or relationships between the object and the other objects within the object map;
- the application resizing and/or repositioning the object in the object map;
- constructing a signal based on raw data associated with the object and/or the object map;
- the device receiving a recommended object based on the signal;
- and
- the application adding the recommended object to the object map or to an object recommendation channel.
A system for object discovery comprising:
- a device with a processor and a display;
- wherein the device is configured to run an application with a graphical user interface (GUI) including an object map;
- wherein the application is configured to add an object to the object map based on a key word or a key phrase;
- and
- wherein the object is positioned within the object map based on an Intensity of Interest (IoI) of the object, positions of other objects within the object map, and/or relationships between the object and the other objects within the object map.
A system for object discovery comprising:
- a device with a processor and a display;
- wherein the device is configured to run an application with a graphical user interface (GUI) including an object map;
- wherein the application is configured to add an object to the object map based on a key word or a key phrase;
- wherein the device is configured to construct a signal based on raw data associated with the application;
- and
- wherein the device is configured to receive a recommended object based on the signal.
