Embodiment Construction

[0017] The exposed architecture captures and interprets body / hand gestures for interaction with search engine frameworks. In one example, gestures may be utilized to modify search results as part of the training data collection phase. For example, gestures can be used to provide relevance feedback on documents (results) for training data in order to optimize search engines. Another gesture can be configured and utilized to alter the ranking of results and thus alter the output of the search engine. For example, user-expressed feedback may be in the form of gestures that dynamically modify a search engine results page (SERP) or drill down deeper (eg, navigate down a hierarchy of data) to a specific topic or area .

[0018] In one implementation, gestures may include a thumb-up gesture for agreement, a thumb-down hand gesture for dissent, and a hand-to-face gesture for doubt (or desperation). It will be appreciated, however, that the number and type of gestures are not limite...

Abstract

The disclosed architecture enables user feedback in the form of gestures, and optionally, voice signals, of one or more users, to interact with a search engine framework. For example, document relevance, document ranking, and output of the search engine can be modified based on the capture and interpretation of physical gestures of a user. The recognition of a specific gesture is detected based on the physical location and movement of the joints of a user. The architecture captures emotive responses while navigating the voice-driven and gesture-driven interface, and indicates that appropriate feedback has been captured. The feedback can be used to alter the search query, personalize the response using the feedback collected through the search / browsing session, modifying result ranking, navigation of the user interface, modification of the entire result page, etc., among many others.

Description

Background technique [0001] When querying for information, users have a natural tendency to respond with physical movements of the body or facial expressions. When using a search engine to find information, a user types in a query and is presented with a list of results. To obtain results for the query, the ranker is trained by using external judgments to mark document relevance or using feedback collected through user interaction with the results page primarily using mouse-driven input (eg, clicks). However, such conventional input device interaction techniques are cumbersome and have limitations in terms of data reliability and thus the usefulness of the captured data. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0002] The following presents a simplified summary of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of some of the novel embodiments described herein. This summary is not an extensive overview, it is not intended to identify core / key elements, nor is it intended to desc...
