GENERATING AND PRESENTING LATERAL CONCEPTS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for presenting a user with lateral concepts corresponding to a search query, the method further comprising:
- receiving a user query;
obtaining a first set of content that corresponds to the user query from storage;
identifying a plurality of categories associated with the obtained first set of content;
selecting a subset of the plurality of identified categories as lateral concepts; and
returning the first of content and selected lateral concepts responsive to the user query.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-storage media for generating lateral concepts are provided. The system includes a search engine to receive user queries, a storage to store content and its associated categories, and a lateral concept generator. The lateral concept generator is connected to both the search engine and storage. The lateral concept generator selects lateral concepts from categories associated with the content based on similarity scores for the stored content.

10. One or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions for performing a method to generate lateral concepts, the method further comprising:
-
receiving a user query; calculating similarity between content in storage and the user query; creating a collection of content having a predetermined number of content similar to the user query; identifying each category that corresponds to content in the collection of content; and returning the collection of content and lateral concepts selected from the identified categories in response to the user query. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer system having processors and memories configured to generate lateral concepts, the system further comprising:
-
a search engine configured to receive user queries; a storage configured to store content and corresponding categories; and a lateral concept generator communicatively connected to the search engine and storage, wherein the lateral concept generator is configured to select lateral concepts from categories associated with content in storage based on similarity scores for the stored content, the search engine provides results to the user queries that include the generated lateral concepts, and the storage stores the generated lateral concepts corresponding to the user queries. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
