GUI for subject matter navigation using maps and search terms
First Claim
1. A system for navigating categorized information comprising:
- a computer configured to;
display a two-dimensional map comprising a plurality of search terms relating to a subject matter, wherein the plurality of search terms are associated with a plurality of positions;
modify the plurality of positions based on a new search term;
display additional related search terms based on the new search term; and
display a plurality of hyperlinks corresponding to a plurality of search results; and
a neural network configured to determine the plurality of positions and the plurality of search results based on the new search term and at least one selected search term of the plurality of search terms.

Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for navigating categorized information, including (a) a two-dimensional map displayed to a user on a screen, the map showing search terms relating to a subject matter, where the display of the search terms corresponds to relationship between the terms, and wherein a manner of display of the terms corresponds to their relative importance to the subject matter; and (b) a neural network underlying the map, wherein the manner of display and a selection of the search terms is derived from the neural network. The manner of display includes font color, font size, font transparency, distance between search terms and positioning of the search terms within the map. Positioning of a cursor over one of the search terms rearranges the search terms on the map to correspond to an increased relevance of the one of the search terms, while the cursor is over the one of the search terms. Clicking on the one of the search terms corresponds to navigating into a sub-subject matter of the one of the search terms.
