Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments of systems, methods and computer readable mediums for matrix viewing. In one embodiment, among others, a system comprises at least one computing device and an application executable in the at least one computing device. The application comprises logic that searches and gathers a plurality of item representations based at least in part on a search query retrieved from a client computing device. The application further comprises logic that encodes a network page for rendering by the client computing device. The network page provides a matrix view of at least a portion of the item representations. Also, the matrix view includes a plurality of streams. At least one of the streams comprises a moving progression of the item representations across at least a portion of the network page.

Claims

1-19. -19. (canceled)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in at least one computing device, comprising:

code that obtains a plurality of item representations; and

code that encodes a network page including a plurality of streams, a first stream of the plurality of streams comprising a plurality of stream segments, at least one of the plurality of stream segments being capable of being detached from the first stream to form a second stream, individual ones of the plurality of streams corresponding to a moving progression of a respective subset of the plurality of item representations across at least a portion of the network page.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 20, wherein the code that obtains the plurality of item representations is further configured to obtain the plurality of item representations based at least in part on a search query.

22. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 20, wherein the plurality of streams form a matrix view.

23. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 20, wherein the network page includes a component configured to adjust a traveling speed of at least one of the plurality of streams.

24. A system, comprising:

at least one computing device; and

at least one application executed in the at least one computing device, the at least one application comprising;

logic that encodes a network page that includes a plurality of streams, at least one of the plurality of streams corresponding to a moving progression of a respective subset of a collection of item representations across at least a portion of the network page, a first stream segment of a first stream of the plurality of streams being capable of being detached from the first stream to form a second stream; and

logic that sends the network page to another computing device.

25. The system of claim 24, wherein the at least one application further comprises:

logic that obtains a search query from the other computing device; and

logic that determines the collection of item representations based at least in part on the search query.

26. The system of claim 24, wherein the at least one of the plurality of streams is in a circular orientation across the at least a portion of the network page.

27. The system of claim 24, wherein the plurality of streams are arranged in a matrix having a number of columns and a number of rows.

28. The system of claim 24, wherein the first stream includes a plurality of stream segments.

29. The system of claim 24, wherein at least one item representation of the collection of item representations comprises an item image.

30. The system of claim 24, wherein the network page includes at least one component that, when selected, is configured to adjust a traveling speed of a particular stream of the plurality of streams.

31. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a computing device, data encoding a network page that includes a set of streams, at least one of the set of streams corresponding to a moving progression of a respective subset of a collection of item representations across at least a portion of the network page, a first stream segment of a first stream of the set of streams being capable of being detached from the first stream to form a second stream; and

causing, by the computing device, the network page to be rendered for display.

32. The method of claim 31, further comprising sorting, by the computing device, the respective subset of the collection of item representations based at least in part on a sort criterion.

33. The method of claim 31, further comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, additional data relating to an additional item representation; and

including, by the computing device, the additional item representation in the at least one of the set of streams.

34. The method of claim 31, wherein the moving progression occurs once in response to the network page being rendered.

35. The method of claim 31, further comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, a selection of the first stream segment from a plurality of stream segments of the first stream; and

detaching, by the computing device, the first stream segment from the plurality of stream segments to form the second stream upon the network page.

36. The method of claim 31, further comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, a selection of a subset of the set of streams; and

adjusting, by the computing device, a traveling speed of the subset of the set of streams.

37. The method of claim 31, further comprising rearranging, by the computing device, a subset of the set of streams within the network page.

38. The method of claim 31, further comprising deleting, by the computing device, a selected item representation from the first stream.

39. The method of claim 31, further comprising deleting, by the computing device, a selected subset of the set of streams from the set of streams.
