Abstract
A unified platform obtains, stores, and shares search results based on user profiles or groups with a common interest. User profiles or group profiles may be used to identify categories containing objects related to a common interest, and the objects may be selected for placement in a graphical user interface from which they may be purchased by or for the user. The objects may preferably be virtual objects stored in a virtual locker or other virtual display unit. Users are able to conduct web-based searches for products or services from different websites and store dimensional representations of virtual products or services in a unified platform.
Claims21
A method performed by a system comprising a system processor, a system database and multiple client systems of respective users in interactive communication with the system processor, said method comprising:
- establishing for selective display at each client system a respective graphical compartmentalized virtual display unit;
- for each virtual display unit, establishing a respective theme reflecting an interest of the user of the client system at which that virtual display unit is established;
- and
- selectively obtaining and displaying, in compartments of each virtual display, objects within the scope of said interest of the user of the client system at which said each virtual display unit is established.
A system comprising a system processor, a system database and multiple client systems of respective users in interactive communication with the system processor, wherein said system processor is configured to:
- establish for selective display at each client system a respective graphical compartmentalized virtual display unit;
- for each virtual display unit, establish a respective theme reflecting an interest of the user of the client system at which that virtual display unit is established;
- and
- selectively obtain and display, in compartments of each virtual display, virtual objects within the scope of said interest of the user of the client system at which said each virtual display unit is established.
A computer program product for use in a system processor in a system comprising a system database and multiple client systems of respective users in interactive communication with the system processor, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by the system processor to:
- establish for selective display at each client system a respective graphical compartmentalized virtual display unit;
- for each virtual display unit, establish a respective theme reflecting an interest of the user of the client system at which that virtual display unit is established;
- and
- selectively obtain and display, in compartments of each virtual display, virtual objects within the scope of said interest of the user of the client system at which said each virtual display unit is established.
