Abstract
A computer system that facilitates presentation of data to a user. A search engine component receives and executes queries on behalf of a user. Results of the query are received and analyzed by an analysis component that filters and organizes the results as a function of relevancy of the data to the user and associated context of the query. A user interface component presents the data to the user in a manner that facilitates easy consumption/processing of data by respective users. The user interface component can dynamically modify display settings as a function of content and type of information displayed, user state, user preferences, explicit or implicit learning, user intent, etc.
Claims14
A system that facilitates displaying search results, comprising:
- at least one processor that executes the following computer executable components stored on at least one computer storage readable medium:
- a search engine component that receives and executes queries on behalf of a user;
- an analysis component that filters and organizes query results as a function of relevancy of the data to the user and associated context of a query;
- and
- a user interface component that displays, in a same page of a web search engine, a query window to receive the queries, a relevance pane including one or more information categories that correspond to a query and to a selected tab identifying a user role, and a channel pane to display selectable information channels corresponding to the query and to the selected tab identifying the user role, wherein a relevance indicator graphically conveys, in terms of relative length of the relevance indicator, relevance of each of the one or more information categories:
- and
- wherein the user interface component further, based on user interaction with a relevance indicator in the relevance pane, displays a menu window in the same page, wherein the menu window provides information concerning a concept and a query corresponding to the relevance indicator, identifies additional concepts that are relevant to the concept and the query, and enables a user to request additional information regarding the concept and the query.
4 more elements
A method that facilitates displaying search results, comprising:
- employing a processor to execute computer readable instructions stored on a computer storage readable medium to perform the following acts:
- displaying, in a same page of a web search engine, a query window to receive queries, a relevance pane including one or more information categories that correspond to a query and to a selected tab identifying a user role, and a channel pane to display selectable information channels corresponding to the query and to the selected tab identifying the user role, wherein a relevance indicator graphically conveys, in terms of relative length of the relevance indicator, relevance of each of the one or more information categories;
- receiving a search query relating to medical/health information from a user;
- receiving a selection of a tab identifying a user role;
- executing the search query;
- analyzing results of the search query;
- selectively filtering, organizing, and presenting the search query results as a function of relevancy to the user and the selection of the tab identifying a user role;
- and
- based on user interaction with a relevance indicator in the relevance pane, displaying a menu window in the same page, wherein the menu window provides information concerning a concept and a query corresponding to the relevance indicator, identifies additional concepts that are relevant to the concept and the query, and enables a user to request additional information regarding the concept and the query.
6 more elements
A system that facilitates displaying search results, comprising:
- at least one processor that executes the following computer executable components stored on at least one computer storage readable medium:
- means for receiving a search query relating to medical/health information;
- means for executing the search query;
- means for analyzing search query results based at least in part on a selected identifier corresponding to a predetermined user role;
- means for selectively filtering, organizing, and presenting the search query results as a function of relevancy to the user;
- and
- means for displaying, in a same page of a web search engine, a query window to receive the queries, a relevance pane including one or more information categories that correspond to a query and to a selected tab identifying a user role, and a channel pane to display selectable information channels corresponding to the query and to the selected tab identifying the user role, wherein a relevance indicator graphically conveys, in terms of relative length of the relevance indicator, relevance of each of the one or more information categories;
- wherein the means for displaying further, based on user interaction with a relevance indicator in the relevance pane, displays a menu window in the same page, wherein the menu window provides information concerning a concept and a query corresponding to the relevance indicator, identifies additional concepts that are relevant to the concept and the query, and enables a user to request additional information regarding the concept and the query.
