NAVIGATING DOMINANT CONCEPTS EXTRACTED FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method to navigate dominant concepts extracted from multiple sources, the method comprising:
- generating a graphical user interface having dominant concepts associated with a contextual query issued to a search engine that searches multiple sources to locate results, wherein the dominant concepts are extracted from the results returned by the search engine;
adding a graph to the graphical user interface to group the dominant concepts extracted from the results, wherein the graph links the contextual query and the dominant concepts;
providing controls that dynamically alter dominant concepts displayed by the graphical user interface; and
updating the graphical user interface and the dominant concepts displayed based on control manipulations.

Abstract
Graphical user interfaces, methods, and computer-storage media for navigating dominant concepts are provided. The method is executed by a computer system that generates a graphical user interface having dominant concepts associated with a contextual query. The contextual query is issued to a search engine that searches multiple sources to locate results. The computer system extracts the dominant concepts from the results. In turn, a graph is added to the graphical user interface to group the dominant concepts. The graph links the contextual query and the dominant concepts and provides controls that dynamically alter dominant concepts displayed by the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface and the dominant concepts displayed are updated based on control manipulations.

15. A graphical user interface generated by a computer system having processors and computer-readable media, wherein the graphical user interface provides dynamic views of dominant concepts extracted from multiple sources, the graphical user interface comprising:
-
a graph linking dominant concepts to a contextual query, wherein the dominant concepts are extracted from results provided by a search in response to receiving the contextual query; and navigation controls that dynamically alter the dominant concepts displayed to the user. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
