Multi-dimensional Search Grid for Video Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current search technologies limit user interaction by presenting search results in a single-dimensional format, which restricts the ability to effectively utilize multiple search criteria and provide a comprehensive, user-friendly interface for exploring related search terms simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a multi-dimensional search system that uses two or more sets of criteria to generate and present search results in a grid format, where each row or column represents a keyword, allowing for dynamic updates and relevance filtering, enabling users to interact with multiple search results related to media being viewed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If search results are presented in a single-dimensional format, then the interface is simple and easy to implement, but user interaction is limited and the ability to utilize multiple search criteria is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the traditional single-dimensional search result list into a multi-dimensional grid format. Each dimension represents a different search criterion or category, allowing users to simultaneously explore multiple search results related to different aspects of their query. This dimensional expansion enables comprehensive utilization of multiple search criteria while maintaining an organized and navigable interface.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple search criteria are used to generate comprehensive search results, then the variety of options increases, but the complexity of the search system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the search system into distinct modules: a search term receiver that accepts multiple search criteria, a search result generator that processes each criterion separately, and a grid presenter that organizes results by dimension. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple search criteria independently while maintaining overall system manageability and reducing complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The grid presentation interface serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays search results, organizes them by different criteria, enables user interaction, and adapts to various search types. This multi-functionality allows the system to handle diverse search requirements without requiring separate specialized interfaces for each search criterion.
3Adaptability or versatility
If search results are presented in a grid format with multiple dimensions, then user experience is enhanced with richer options, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making different regions of the grid serve different purposes. Each cell in the grid represents a specific search result with its own characteristics, and users can interact with individual cells based on their local relevance. This localized approach allows comprehensive presentation of multiple search criteria while maintaining simplicity in individual result presentation.

AI summary
Example methods and systems are related to presenting a video at a display area of a user interface. A first screen capture of the video at a first time interval is captured and a second screen capture of the video at a second time interval is captured. A first image search using the first screen capture of the video is performed and a second image search using the second screen capture of the video is performed. A grid of search results for the video is presented. The grid comprises a first search result from the first image search and a second search result from the second image search. Search results of the grid are periodically added to the grid as the video is being presented at the display area.
