ANALYZING AND DISTRIBUTING BROWSING FUTURES IN A GESTURE BASED USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A method in a computing system for analyzing browsing futures associated with gestured-based input, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an input device capable of providing gesture input, an indication of a user inputted gesture that corresponds to an indicated portion of electronic content presented via a presentation device associated with the computing system, the indicated portion of electronic content identifying an entity and/or action;
determining a next content to be examined by the user based upon the entity and/or action identified by the user inputted gesture and/or a set of factors;
distributing information regarding the determined next content to one or more sponsors of auxiliary content; and
receiving auxiliary content from at least one of the one or more sponsors that is presented via the presentation device upon detecting that the next content to be examined has been or is about to be navigated to by the user.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and techniques for presenting auxiliary content and information regarding browsing and/or navigation futures to be used in a gesture-based user interface are provided. Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Content Presentation System (GBCPS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to offer to one or more sponsors of content information regarding a next content to be examined by a user related to a portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture. In overview, the GBCPS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, etc.) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBCPS examines the indicated portion in conjunction with potentially a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine a next content and distributes information to potential sponsors. Once auxiliary content is received or determined, it is then presented to the user when the next content is navigated to.
