Abstract

A method and system for dynamically generating and displaying a home screen on a display of a user device are provided. The method includes receiving a portion of a query; determining a query based on the portion of a query and a user experience; determining at least one estimated user intent based on the query and at least one input variable; selecting a plurality of resources of information based on the at least one estimated user intent; providing the plurality of resources to the user device; receiving a selection of a desired resource from the user device; determining a definitive user intent from the at least one estimated user intent based on the selection; generating a new home screen respective of the definitive user intent; and causing the user device to replace a current home screen with the new generated home screen.

Claims

1. A method for dynamically generating and displaying a new home screen on a display of a user device, comprising:

determining, by a processor, a user intent using at least one input variable dynamically provided in real time;

dynamically selecting a plurality of resources of information based on the user intent, wherein each selected resource has a representative icon;

generating a new home screen including in part icons of the plurality of the dynamically selected resources of information; and

causing a display of the new generated home screen on the user device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the at least one input variable is any of:

an environmental variable, and a personal variable.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the personal variable is any one of:

a profile of the user, and demographic information related to the user.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the environmental variable is any one of:

a search history, a time of day, a list of social friends as posted on a social web site, location information, motion information, and weather information.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the at least one input variable is received from any one of:

the user device, and an external database.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of resources of information is any one of:

a search engine, a content provider server, a vertical comparison engine, a content publisher server, and a mobile application installed on the user device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the intent of the user represents any one of:

a type of content, a content, and at least one action that may be of an interest to the user at a current moment.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processing units to execute the method according to claim 1.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein the intent of the user represents any one of:

a type of content, a content, and at least one action that may be of an interest to the user at a current moment.

9. A system for dynamically generating and displaying a new home screen on a display of a user device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configured the system to;

determine, by a processor, a user intent using at least one input variable dynamically provided in real time;

dynamically select a plurality of resources of information based on the user intent, wherein each selected resource has a representative icon;

generate a new home screen including in part icons of the plurality of the dynamically selected resources of information; and

cause a display of the new generated home screen on the user device.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein each of the at least one input variable is any one of:

an environmental variable, and a personal variable.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the personal variable is any one of:

a profile of the user, and demographic information related to the user.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the environmental variable is any one of:

a search history, a time of day, a list of social friends as posted on a social web site, location information, motion information, and weather information.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the at least one input variable is received from any one of:

the user device, and an external database.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein each of the at least one resource of information is any one of:

a search engine, a content provider server, a vertical comparison engine, a content publisher server, and a mobile application installed on the user device.
