Abstract

A system and method for dynamically generating and displaying a new home screen on a display of a user device are provided. The method comprises determining a user intent based on at least one input variable dynamically provided in real time; dynamically selecting a plurality of resources of information based on the user intent, wherein each selected resource has a representative icon; generating a new home screen including at least the icons of the plurality of dynamically selected resources; and causing a display of the new generated home screen on the user device.

Claims

1. A method for dynamically generating and displaying a new home screen on a display of a user device, comprising:

receiving by a computing device at least one input variable dynamically provided in real time;

dynamically selecting, by the computing device, a plurality of resources of information based on a determined user intent, wherein each selected resource has a representative icon, wherein the user intent represents a determination by the computing device, based on an analysis of a context of the at least one input variable, of at least one of a type of content, a content, and an action of interest to the user for a current time period;

generating a new home screen for the user device including an area with display segments for each of at least a subset of the selected plurality of resources, wherein the icon of the plurality of dynamically selected resources of the subset are displayed in the respective display segment for that resource; and

causing a display of the new generated home screen on the user device, wherein each of the display segments is configured to communicate directly over a network with its respective one of the plurality of resources.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the at least one input variable is at least one of:

an environmental variable and a personal variable.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein each personal variable is any of:

a user profile, demographic information, and user preferences.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein each environmental variable is any of:

a location of the user device, a rate of motion of the user device, search history, browsing history and a time of day.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the determination by computing device of the user intent further comprises:

determining the context of the at least one input variable; and

determining a category of interest based on the context of the at least one input variable, wherein the user intent is determined as the category of interest.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving at least a portion of a user query.

7. The method of claim 1

wherein the computing device is the user device.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the user query is at least one of:

a keyword, a portion of a keyword, a plurality of keywords, a character, and a series of characters.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the user query is automatically completed based on the determined user intent.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein each representative icon is any one of:

a graphical symbol, a widget, and a gadget that causes to either activate or provide a link to the at least one selected resource of information.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processing units to execute the method according to claim 1.

12. A system for dynamically generating and displaying a new home screen on a display of a user device, comprising:

a display;

a processing unit; and

a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, configure the system to;

receive by a computing device at least one input variable dynamically provided in real time;

dynamically select, by the computing device, a plurality of resources of information based on a determined user intent, wherein each selected resource has a representative icon, wherein the user intent represents a determination by the computing device, based on an analysis of a context of the at least one input variable, of at least one of a type of content, a content, and an action of interest to the user for a current time period;

generate a new home screen for the user device including an area with display segments for each of at least a subset of the selected plurality of resources, wherein the icon of the plurality of dynamically selected resources of the subset are displayed in the respective display segment for that resource; and

cause a display of the new generated home screen on the display, wherein each of the display segments is configured to communicate directly over a network with its respective one of the plurality of resources.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein each of the at least one input variable is at least one of:

an environmental variable, and a personal variable.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein each personal variable is any of:

a user profile, demographic information, and user preferences.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein each environmental variable is any of:

a location of the user device, a rate of motion of the user device, search history, browsing history and a time of day.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the system is further configured to:

determine the context of the at least one input variable; and

determine a category of interest based on the context of the at least one input variable, wherein the user intent is determined as the category of interest.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the system is further configured to:

receiving at least a portion of a user query.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the computing device is the user device.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the at least a portion of the user query is at least one of:

a keyword, a portion of a keyword, a plurality of keywords, a character, and a series of characters.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the user query is automatically completed based on the determined user intent.

21. The system of claim 12, wherein each representative icon is any one of:

a graphical symbol, a widget, and a gadget that causes to either activate or provide a link to the at least one selected resource of information.
