Description

GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE WITH CORRELATED AND UNCORRELATED

CONSTITUENTS

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates generally to a graphical user interface with correlated or non-correlated constituents. In particular, the present invention relates to displaying linked or non- linked content on two or more separate parts of a single user interface.

BACKGROUND

[0002] On various websites related to shopping or the like, users browse web pages for products, information, etc. With the advent of growing information available over the internet, users like to check for feedback, reviews, product information, etc. before buying any product on a shopping website. However, users need to visit different websites/portals to buy a product and for researching the product reviews and other information. In other words, users generally visit other websites at another webpage to search/view the information (such as blogs, feedback, reviews, etc.) related to the product that is being currently viewed at a specific marketplace webpage.

[0003] Currently, there is a need for systems which may provide user access to a product buying option along with relevant research information about the product in a more convenient way.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] FIG. 1 illustrates a system 100 for providing a graphical user interface with correlated or non-correlated constituents. The system 100 may include a server 102, a cloud computing environment or a network 104, and a user interface 108 of an electronic communication device 106.

[0019] The server 102 may provide for correlated or non-correlated constituents of content to be displayed at the user interface 108 of the electronic communication device 106. The content displayed in two different constituents may be different. In various exemplary embodiments of the present invention, at least one first constituent may include one or more products along with various options to purchase the products. Alternatively, the at least one first constituent may include content related to a marketplace webpage for purchasing a product. In at least one other constituent, content related to the product being currently viewed by a user at the first constituent may be displayed. In various embodiments of the present invention, the server 102 may provide for information related to the product in at least one other constituent for display at the user interface 108. The information, for example, but not limited to, may include articles related to the product being currently browsed at one of the correlated constituents of the user interface 108. In another example, the information may correspond to an online magazine related to the product being currently browsed at the first constituent of the user interface 108. For example, while the first constituent may provide an option for purchasing a men’s shirt, a second constituent may display corresponding articles/blogs/magazine of the men’s shirt.

[0020] In another embodiment, the displayed content in the other constituent may be non- correlated to the content of the displayed product(s) in the first constituent. In other words, the content in the other constituent may be independent of the displayed product(s) purchasing option content in the first constituent. In yet another embodiment, the content in the other constituent may be indirectly related to the displayed product(s) purchasing option content in the first constituent. Such content/information and products purchasing options displayed in separate constituents of the user interface, which are independent or not directly related to each other, are referred as “non-correlated constituents” throughout this specification. For example, while the first constituent may provide an option for purchasing a men’s shirt, a second constituent may display articles/blogs/magazine related to men’s trouser or another such product that the user may be interested in. In yet another example, while the first constituent may provide an option for purchasing a men’s shirt, a second constituent may display articles/blogs/magazine related to an independent product such as women’s perfume. The content provided in the second constituent may be based on various techniques such as user’s browsing history, cookies, machine learning algorithms, etc. which are a well-understood mechanism a person skilled in the art, and would not be covered here in detail.

[0021] In various embodiments of the present invention, the server 102 may be an aggregator configured to source content from at least two different sources (e.g., third party source 112), for providing content to be displayed at different constituents of the user interface 108. For example, the server 102 may be configured to source content from an online marketplace portal and at least one other web portal which includes information related to products available at the online marketplace portal. The server 102 may be configured to be built on various technologies that include, but that are not limited to, Angular, Python, Python web scraping scripts, Google Tag Manager, etc. Additionally, the server 102 may also include a web-crawler to provide content for different constituents. In other embodiments of the present invention, the server 102 may be configured to function as a search engine server to provide a user interface with multiple constituents at its user interface. The functionalities of aggregator, search engine, and web-crawler are well-known to a person skilled in the art and are not described here in detail. In yet another embodiment, the server 102 may provide for web content for displaying at a user interface 108 similar to a conventionally known server, however, with multiple constituents as discussed herein throughout the specification.

[0022] The electronic communication device 106 may be, for example, but not limited to, a laptop, a desktop, a mobile device, a tablet, or any device with similar processing capabilities. According to various embodiments of the present invention, the user interface 108 may be an interface of a webpage accessible via a web-browser, or an interface of a mobile application accessible through the electronic communication device 106 to a user 110. The user interface 108 may be configured to provide an option to search for purchasing products and/or information associated with the products. Further, in response to a request for content related to one or more products through the search option, the user interface 108 may be configured to display content for user access in the multiple constituents. The multiple constituents may be sub-windows or sub-portions of display area within a single webpage displayed at user interface 108 at a specific time.

[0023] Further, the user interface 108 of the electronic communication device 106 may include multiple constituents or sub-portions to display various types of content/information. In an exemplary embodiment where there are two constituents, the user interface 108 may be divided into two halves or any other ratio such that each half constitutes a particular constituent or a sub portion. The multiple constituents within the user interface 108 may be used to display different types of content, such as, information/content related to an online product. For example, if a user 110 searches for a product to be purchased via the user interface 108 of the electronic communication device 106, the user 110 may be able to view a product within a first constituent of the user interface 108. The first constituent also provides an option to buy the product or add to cart through one or more options provided within the same constituent. Alternatively, the first constituent may include product display similar to a well-known online market place with options to purchase it. At one or more other/second constituents or a sub-portions of the web-interface /user interface 108, any correlated or non-correlated information/content to the product may be displayed. For example, one or more blogs, articles, related to the product may be displayed within such one or more other constituents. Alternatively, the information displayed at the other constituents may be independent of product displayed at the first constituent. Therefore, the second constituent may include information display similar to various online blogs, online articles, news, etc. related to a specific search of a term, phrase, or a product. The information may be presented in a format similar to a world wide web search engine results. Such results may be provided via the server 102 independently or by coordinating with another third-party source 112. While FIG. 1 depicts only one third-party source 112, it may be apparent that there may be multiple third-party sources 112 for sourcing content of different types. The third-party sources may include online marketplace websites, online news/blog portals, online video portals, online magazines, another server/database including content as may be required to be displayed within the constituents, as described herein throughout the Specification.

[0024] In accordance with various embodiments of the present invention, such correlated or non-correlated constituents may be individually operable user interfaces. Specifically, the correlated or non-correlated constituents are configured to detect a scroll or hover or highlight input within the constituent of the user interface 108. If a part of content within the first constituent user interface displaying one or more products is scrolled or highlighted or hovered by the user 110, the user interface may be configured to receive such scrolling/highlighting/hovering as an input. In response to such an input, the system 100 may be configured to update the information displayed in the other constituent automatically to reflect the content correlated with the currently displayed/highlighted/hovered content. For example, the user 110 may be currently viewing a product in the first constituent user interface, while a corresponding article is displayed in the second constituent user interface regarding the product. When the user 110 scrolls the currently displayed product in the first constituent user interface such that a second product is displayed at the first constituent user interface, the displayed information in the second constituent user interface is also updated for display to correspond to the second product in the first constituent user interface. Similarly, when the user 110 highlights/hovers on a specific product out of one or more products displayed within the first constituent, the content/information in the second constituent is updated to correlate with the currently highlighted/hovered content in the first constituent of the user interface 108.

[0025] Similarly, if a part of content within the second constituent user interface displaying content/information is scrolled or highlighted or hovered by the user 110, the user interface 108 may be configured to receive such scrolling/highlighting/ hovering as an input. In response to such an input, the system 100 may be configured to update the content/products displayed in the first constituent automatically to reflect the content correlated with the currently displayed/highlighted/hovered content in the second constituent.

[0026] In another embodiment, the product(s) displayed at the first constituent user interface may be selected instead of being scrolled, in response to which the information in the second constituent user interface is updated. While the above embodiment is described for two constituent user interfaces, it may be apparent to a person skilled in the art that there may be a plurality of second constituent user interfaces on which products from multiple sources may be displayed with respect to the information, or vice-versa. Additionally, while the above embodiment is described for products being selected, it may be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the content/information in the second constituent of the user interface may also be selected. In response to content/information constituent user interface being selected, the corresponding product(s) displayed in the first constituent may be updated accordingly. FIG. 5A shows such an embodiment where an information is selected from a first constituent, in response to which multiple products are displayed in the second constituent, as discussed in detail in the description of FIG. 5 A.

[0027] The update in the information or the product(s) is requested, in real-time, through the user interface 108 from the server 102 via the cloud/internet network 104. The server 102, for example, may comprise a tagging algorithm for associating the product(s) and corresponding information for being displayed at the user interface 108 in multiple constituents. The tagging algorithm may simultaneously filter and display both products and correlating information relative to the user, based on, but not limited to, their interaction, gender, price points, season, and or brand etc. In an embodiment of the present invention, the server 102 may receive a request, from the electronic communication device 106 via the network 104, for information to be displayed at the second constituent of the user interface 108. In response, the server 102 may send the information for displaying at the user interface 108. To provide the information, to be displayed at the second constituent, corresponding to the product displayed at the first constituent, the server 102 may include the information either offline or online. The offline information corresponding to each and every product may be stored at a repository/database (not shown) at the server 102. For providing the information online, the server 102 may communicate with a third-party source 112. The third-party source 112 may, for example, be a third-party server, a service provider, a database linked to a website, etc. The third-party source 112 may provide for information linked to the product, for example, but not limited to, an article, a blog, a product description, pictures of the product, etc. or vice-versa. The information provided by the third-party source 112 may be provided to the electronic communication device 106. In response, the electronic communication device 106 displays the information at the second/other constituent of the user interface 108. [0028] In another embodiment from the above, where the two constituents display non-linked products and information, and when the first constituent interface displaying a product is scrolled or selected by the user 110 to view another product, the information/content displayed in the other constituent is not updated and remains as-is. For example, the user 110 may be currently viewing a product in a first constituent user interface, while a corresponding article is displayed in a second constituent user interface regarding the product. When the user 110 scrolls or selects the currently displayed product in the first constituent user interface such that a second product is displayed at the first constituent user interface, the displayed information in the second constituent user interface does not undergo any change. In another embodiment, where the two constituents display non-linked products and information, and when the first constituent interface displaying a product is scrolled or selected by the user 110 to view another product, the information/content displayed in the other constituent is updated to provide another linked/non-linked information/content.

[0029] While the above embodiments are described from the perspective of product constituent being scrolled or selected resulting in change in second constituent information, one skilled in the art would appreciate that the embodiments may be implemented vice-versa. Specifically, the information displayed in the second constituent may be scrolled or selected, resulting in changes in the first constituent product information.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the user interface 108 of the electronic communication device 106 may include multiple constituents for displaying information correlated to the product being currently browsed at the home page of a URL. Specifically, the user interface 108 may provide a first content of at least one product within a portion of the user interface 108, such that the content relates to one or more products of a marketplace website providing options to purchase the product. Such a portion of the user interface 108 corresponds to a first constituent of the user interface 108. The first content may include, a picture of the product, brand name, product name, price with quick view/look option to explant in product details, add to cart, wish list, share on social media, advertisements, etc. In addition, there may be at least one more portion within the user interface 108 where an information, correlated to the product displayed in the first constituent, is provided. The correlated information may be linked to the product, for example, but not limited to, an article, a blog, a product description, all educational (intangible) articles with title, subtitle, date, reviews, case studies, research reports and supporting visual such as charts, photos, videos, compilations, and option to save articles to read later, advertisements, etc. The display of the multiple constituents is described in more detail in FIG. 3, 4, and 5 below.

[0031] While the above embodiment describes displaying of multiple constituents of the user interface within a single user interface 108 of the electronic communication device 106, it may be apparent to a person skilled in the art that the multiple constituents may be spread over multiple user devices. For example, while one constituent displays the product purchase content in the user interface 108 of the electronic communication device 106, the second constituent for displaying the correlated information may be included in another electronic communication device (not shown) associated with the user 110. The two electronic communication devices may be in communication with each other, for example, via common login credentials, or over a common LAN network, or various other mechanisms known in the art. As discussed above, the correlated information may be accessed via the server 102, or a third-party source 112 linked to the server 102. In another embodiment, tags are embedded into the displayed products and information, and are activated based on a user’s interaction to show them more of their interest across their shopping journey at a user interface of a web portal. For instance, the user details, such as, but not limited to, previous interaction, gender, price points, season, and or brand etc. may be captured by the system, and products and correlated information may be displayed thereupon. In yet another embodiment, user behavioral information may be tracked and stored at the electronic communication device 106 or the server 102, which may be used to display product and information in the constituents.

[0032] Additionally, the correlated constituents may be individually operable user interfaces. If the information related to a product information displayed at a constituent interface is scrolled/highlighted/hovered/selected by the user 110, the information displayed in the other constituent is automatically updated to reflect the information best correlated with the currently displayed product information. For example, the user 110 may be currently viewing information for a product in a first constituent user interface, while a corresponding article is displayed in a second constituent user interface regarding the product. When the user 110 scrolls or selects the product in the first constituent user interface, the displayed information in the second constituent user interface is also updated for display. While the above embodiment is described for two constituent user interfaces, it may be apparent to a person skilled in the art that there may be a plurality of second constituent user interfaces on which information from multiple sources may be displayed with respect to the product.

[0033] FIG. 2 illustrates a method at the electronic communication device for providing a graphical user interface with correlated and uncorrelated constituents. [0034] At step 202, a request for content related to at least one product to be displayed in a first constituent of a plurality of constituents of the user interface is received from the user. The request(s) may be received by a software application or via a browser installed at the electronic communication device, through a search option available within the user interface. In response, the software application or the browser sends the request for the webpage, product, and correlated information corresponding to the request. As discussed above, the correlated information is related to the article, blog, a product description, reviews, ease studies, research reports and supporting visual such as charts, photos, videos, compilations, etc.

[0035] At step 204, the request for webpage, product, and correlated information is sent to the server for obtaining such information. The server, in turn, provides the requested information to the electronic communication device at step 206.

[0036] At step 208, the software application/browser of the electronic communication device displays webpage as received from the server. Further, the product purchase option information and correlated information are displayed in at least two separate constituent user interfaces of the user interface of the electronic communication device. As discussed above, the two separate constituent user interfaces may be located over multiple user devices. In one embodiment, only one of the at least two constituents may be visible at a user interface at a specific time. The other constituent of the user interface may be made visible on the user interface via a toggle switch, bar, or a swipe mechanism available at the user interface. For example, due to a constraint in mobile screen size, only one of the constituents (either product or information) may be visible at the user interface. When toggle switch, bar, or a swipe is clicked, the previously invisible other constituent may be made visible, while the currently visible constituent would be made invisible. The toggle switch, bar, or a swipe is provided anywhere within the user interface (e.g., user interface 108). In one embodiment, the toggle switch or bar may be provided within the currently visible constituent or at an edge of the constituent.

[0037] At step 210, an input related to scrolling/hovering/highlighting/selection of product/information is received in at least one constituent user interface. The input relates to user interaction or browsing pattern at the user interface. The user interaction comprises scrolling/hovering/highlighting/selection of product or information displayed at the multiple constituents of the user interface. In an exemplary embodiment, the input related to scrolling or selecting may be received at the first constituent related to the product. In another exemplary embodiment, the input related to scrolling/hovering/highlighting/ selecting may be received at the other constituent related to the correlated information user interface. In response to either of the inputs received, the software application/browser, in coordination with a server (102), will perform the necessary determination of information to be updated for displaying in the constituents. In effect, the product details, and the correlated information displayed in separate constituents of the user interface shall correspond to each other. For updating the information, the software application/browser may communicate with the server as per steps 204 and 206.

[0038] At step 212, the updated information is displayed at the user interface of the electronic communication device.

[0039] FIG. 3 A, 3B, and 3C illustrate various examples of graphical user interface with correlated or non-correlated constituents. The graphical user interface 300 is a user interface of the electronic communication device detailed in FIG. 1 above. While FIG. 3A, 3B, and 3C provides for two constituents at the user interface, FIG. 3A provides a blank view of a first constituent 302 and a second constituent 304 with no products or information displayed. As it may be appreciated, there may be more than two constituents of the user interface. Similarly, FIG. 3B depicts one product 308 and corresponding correlated or uncorrelated information item 306 being displayed in two separate first and second constituents 302 and 304 in accordance with various embodiments of the invention. In FIG. 3C, the graphical user interface 300 provides for multiple products 308a-308d and multiple items 306a-306d of correlated or uncorrelated information within second constituent 304 and first constituent 302 respectively, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention. The product(s) 308 and the correlated/uncorrelated information items 306 are displayed in accordance with various embodiments discussed above. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the display of sub-portions 302 and 304 may be based on size of the electronic communication device. For instance, for the electronic communication device with a size less than a specific threshold, e.g. 5-6 inches, may only have a single sub-portion displayed at a specific time. The other sub-portion may be available via, but not limited to, a sidebar or a toggle switch on the user-interface. In another embodiment, the other sub-portion may be available through a finger-based swipe on the user interface. The currently displayed sub-portion may be switchable through selection received from the user.

[0040] FIG. 4 illustrates another exemplary graphical user interface 400 with correlated/uncorrelated constituents, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention. As depicted in FIG. 4, the products 408a-408d and correlated/uncorrelated information items 406a-406d may be displayed in another format (i.e., horizontally) as 404 and 402 respectively.

[0041] FIG. 5A illustrates yet another exemplary graphical user interface 500 with correlated/uncorrelated constituents, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention. As depicted in FIG. 5A, the displayed information item 506a in the constituent 502 may be highlighted/selected, which in turn, leads to display of several products 508a-508d in the constituent 504, the products 508a-508d being correlated/uncorrelated with the highlighted/selected information 506a in the constituent 502, in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention.

[0042] FIG. 5B illustrates an exemplary graphical user interface 500 with correlated/uncorrelated constituents highlighting/selecting a tangible product 508a with multiple intangible articles 506a-506d, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention. As depicted in FIG. 5B, the displayed product 508a in the constituent 504 may be highlighted/selected, which in turn, leads to display of one or more content/information items 506a-506d in the constituent 502, the one or more content/information items 506a-506d in the constituent 502 being correlated/uncorrelated with the highlighted/selected product 508a in the constituent 504, in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention.

[0043] Fig. 6 illustrates an example computer program product that is configured to enable display of multiple constituents on an electronic communication device, arranged in accordance with at least some embodiments described herein. Program product 600 may include a signal bearing medium 604. Signal bearing medium 604 may include one or more instructions 602 that, when executed by, for example, a processor, may provide the functionality described above with respect to Figs. 1-5. Thus, for example, referring to system 100, server 102 or electronic communication device 106 may undertake one or more of the blocks shown in Fig. 6 in response to instructions 602 conveyed to the system 100 by medium 604.

[0044] In some implementations, signal bearing medium 604 may encompass a computer- readable medium 608, such as, but not limited to, a hard disk drive, a Compact Disc (CD), a Digital Video Disk (DVD), a digital tape, memory, etc. In some implementations, signal bearing medium 604 may encompass a recordable medium 610, such as, but not limited to, memory, read/write (R/W) CDs, R/W DVDs, etc. In some implementations, signal bearing medium 604 may encompass a communications medium 606, such as, but not limited to, a digital and/or an analog communication medium (e.g., a fiber optic cable, a waveguide, a wired communications link, a wireless communication link, etc.). Thus, for example, program product 600 may be conveyed to one or more modules of the system 100 by an RF signal bearing medium 604, where the signal bearing medium 604 is conveyed by a wireless communications medium 606 (e.g., a wireless communications medium conforming with the IEEE 802.11 standard).

[0045] Fig. 7 is a block diagram illustrating an example computing device that displays multiple constituents on an electronic communication device, arranged in accordance with at least some embodiments described herein. In a very basic configuration 702, computing device 700 typically includes one or more processors 704 and a system memory 706. A memory bus 708 may be used for communicating between processor 704 and system memory 706.
