IDENTIFYING EXECUTABLE SCENARIOS IN RESPONSE TO SEARCH QUERIES
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for identifying executable scenario solutions in response to search queries, the method comprising:
- receiving a scenario-related query; and
in response to the received scenario-related query, identifying at least one selectable scenario description that corresponds to an executable scenario solution.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying executable scenario solutions relevant to a user query and returning such executable scenario solutions as search results in response to the user query are provided. Upon receiving a user query, a plurality of results is returned, each result being representative of a series of steps which may be implemented to address a particular issue relevant to the received user query. Often, a series of steps or scenario includes a number of sub-scenarios, each of which is to be executed sequentially to achieve the desired result. Accordingly, upon selection of a particular search result, the user may be guided through a series of sub-scenario result options until an item having direct association to a series of steps is selected. Once selected, the executable scenario solution is presented to the user for execution.

12. A computerized system for receiving and executing scenario solutions, the system comprising:
-
a scenario solution authoring engine configured for receiving one or more solutions, generating a scenario description that corresponds to each solution received, and associating the generated scenario description with each corresponding solution; an end-user device configured for receiving a scenario-related query; and a server configured for receiving the scenario-related query and the solution and the associated scenario description, wherein the scenario solution authoring engine, the end-user device, and the server are in communication with one another via a network. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
