摘要： A user interface for querying and displaying records from a database employs a physical metaphor for the process of constructing queries and viewing results. The criteria are represented in displays as symbols that can be included in a query. The display of the symbols are ranked in terms of their respective utility, where the utility is inferred from the commands received to generate the queries. In one embodiment, the ranking is based on frequency of use. The ranking may be indicated by various display effects. For example, in an embodiment, the search criteria are indicated as strings of beads in a three-dimensional scene, each bead representing a criterion and each string representing a different category. For example the criteria, drama, action, suspense, and horror may be included in a category of genre. Criteria are selected to form a query by moving corresponding beads to a query string which is then submitted to perform the search. Those beads that correspond to highly ranked criteria are shown in the foreground of the scene and those that correspond to lesser ranked criteria are shown in the background. The beads can be rotated from background to foreground with suitable commands.

摘要翻译： 用于从数据库查询和显示记录的用户界面使用物理隐喻来构建查询和查看结果的过程。 标准在显示中表示为可以包含在查询中的符号。 符号的显示按照它们各自的实用性进行排序，其中根据接收的命令推断效用以产生查询。 在一个实施例中，排名基于使用频率。 排名可以通过各种显示效果来表示。 例如，在一个实施例中，搜索准则被表示为三维场景中的珠串，每个珠表示标准，每个字符串表示不同类别。 例如，标准，戏剧，动作，悬念和恐怖可能被包括在类别的类别中。 选择标准以通过将对应的珠移动到查询字符串来形成查询，然后提交查询字符​​串以执行搜索。 对应于高排名标准的那些珠子显示在场景的前景中，并且在背景中显示对应于较低排名的标准的珠。 珠子可以通过合适的命令从背景旋转到前景。

摘要： Techniques are described herein for generating a deal score to indicate a relative value of an offer for a commerce element. In one example, the deal score for a particular offer is based on a difference between a discounted price specified by the particular offer and an average of discounted price(s) specified by other offer(s). If the difference reaches a threshold, then a relatively high deal score is generated. Otherwise, a relatively low deal score is generated. In another example, the deal score is based on a difference between an intermediate value and the discounted price specified by the present offer. The intermediate value may be provided by combining discounted price(s) specified by other offer(s) and the non-discounted price of the commerce element being offered. If the difference reaches a threshold, then a relatively high deal score is generated. Otherwise, a relatively low deal score is generated.

摘要翻译： 这里描述了用于产生交易分数以指示商业元件的报价的相对值的技术。 在一个示例中，特定报价的交易分数基于特定报价指定的折扣价格与由其他报价指定的平均折扣价格之间的差额。 如果差值达到阈值，则产生相对高的交易分数。 否则，会产生相对较低的交易分数。 在另一个例子中，交易分数是基于中间价值与本报价指定的折扣价格之间的差额。 中间值可以通过组合由其他报价指定的折扣价格和所提供的商品的非折扣价格来提供。 如果差值达到阈值，则产生相对高的交易分数。 否则，会产生相对较低的交易分数。

摘要： Different images, or sub-images, are rendered at different wavelet decoding rates, the more rapidly decoded wavelets forming a focal region about which less detailed images, or sub-images, are formed. In a preferred embodiment, sets of images or sub-images form levels of a hierarchy, and the wavelet encodings of these images and sub-images are decoded at rates associated with each level of the hierarchy. A single image may be partitioned into sub-images, or regions, that form each level of the hierarchy, or independent images may be arranged in a hierarchical manner, and subsequently rendered using a hierarchy of wavelet decoding schemes. The hierarchy can be developed at a remote site, and a hierarchical wavelet encoding can be transmitted to a local site, so that the hierarchical foveation effect can be rendered while the details of the lower levels of the hierarchy are being communicated.

摘要翻译： 以不同的小波解码速率渲染不同的图像或子图像，形成焦点区域的更快速解码的小波，形成较不详细的图像或子图像。 在优选实施例中，图像或子图像的集合形成层次的级别，并且以与层级的每个级别相关联的速率对这些图像和子图像的小波编码进行解码。 可以将单个图像划分成形成层级的每个级别的子图像或区域，或者可以以分层方式布置独立图像，并且随后使用小波解码方案的层次来进行渲染。 可以在远程站点上开发层次结构，并且可以将分层小波编码传输到本地站点，从而可以在层次结构的较低级别的细节被传达的同时呈现分层移动效果。

摘要： Methods and systems for generating query and result-based relevance indexes are provided. For one embodiment, a plurality of queries is received from a plurality of users. Each query of the plurality of queries is measured based on one or more metrics. The measured data of each query is stored. The queries are associated into topical query categories. A performance of a first query category is calculated based on at least one metric of the one or more metrics. A metric data request for a select category is received from a client. Lastly, the stored measured data of the selected category is transmitted to the client in response to the metric data request.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for recommending items of interest to a user, such as television program recommendations, before a viewing history or purchase history of the user is available. A third party viewing or purchase history is processed to generate stereotype profiles that reflect the typical patterns of items selected by representative viewers. A user can select the most relevant stereotype(s) from the generated stereotype profiles and thereby initialize his or her profile with the items that are closest to his or her own interests. A clustering routine partitions the third party viewing or purchase history (the data set) into clusters, such that points (e.g., television programs) in one cluster are closer to the mean of that cluster than any other cluster. A distance computation routine evaluates the closeness of a television program to each cluster based on the distance between a given television program and the mean of a given cluster.

摘要： Various methods and apparatuses are described for an adult content detection implementation. In one embodiment, a method detects adult content images by tracked query association to a user's query for an image search. The set of images returned in response to the user's query on a search engine are based on whether one or more images in the set are classified as an adult content image.

摘要： A method, system and program product for populating a user profile based on existing user profiles is provided. Specifically, under the present invention, base characteristics are designated for a new user profile. Based on the designated characteristics, the new user profile is associated with a particular Vornoi cluster region of existing user profiles. Once associated, the new user profile is populated with defined characteristics from the existing user profiles within the particular cluster region. After population, viewing recommendations can be made.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for generating television program recommendations based on a user-specified query. The television programming recommender automatically constructs a query based on previous searches that have been executed by a user. The television programming recommender can automatically initiate a search in response to a user command using the top-N search terms for each attribute that have been previously used in a query. Each time a search is initiated by the user the query is decomposed to identify the attribute-value pairs specified by the user and a counter is incremented. When an automatic search is initiated, the top-N attribute-value pairs are retrieved for each possible attribute and automatically placed in a search bin. The attributes of each program in an electronic program guide are compared to the attribute-value pairs specified in the automatic query to identify programs satisfying the limitations of the automatic query.

摘要： A system, method, and article of manufacture is disclosed suitable for displaying selectable time orderable options, such as television programs available for viewing on a television, using a tunnel interface. The tunnel interface displays concentric rings where each ring represents a different set of option data whose attributes are modified to reflect a user's preferences. The modified option data are further arranged such that each concentric ring is ordered by time. Additionally, choices within each ring are visually distinguishable by user preference. Users can navigate within and between the concentric rings and select one or more of the available options using the concentric rings.
