User interface methods and systems for selecting and presenting content based on user navigation and selection actions associated with the content
First Claim
1. A user-interface method of selecting and presenting a collection of items in which the presentation is ordered at least in part based on navigation and selection behavior of a user learned over time, the method comprising:
- providing access to a set of items;
associating an initial relevance weight, on a per user basis, with each of a plurality of the items of the set to indicate a relative measure of a likelihood that the item is desired by the user;
receiving input entered by the user for identifying desired items;
in response to the input entered by the user, selecting and presenting a subset of items to the user as a navigable topology of items wherein the items are ordered at least in part by the initial associated relevance weights associated with the items;
receiving input entered by the user for navigating through the topology of the subset of items and for identifying and selecting the desired items;
in response to a selection by the user of an item, presenting said item to the user and adjusting the associated relevance weight of said item;
subsequent to adjusting the associated relevance weight of any of the items, selecting and presenting a subset of items to the user wherein the items are ordered at least in part by the adjusted associated relevance weights assigned to the items such that items with greater associated relevance weights are presented as more relevant items.

Abstract
A user-interface method of selecting and presenting a collection of content items based on user navigation and selection actions associated with the content is provided. The method includes associating a relevance weight on a per user basis with content items to indicate a relative measure of likelihood that the user desires the content item. The method includes receiving a user'"'"'s navigation and selections actions for identifying desired content items, and in response, adjusting the associated relevance weight of the selected content item and group of content items containing the selected item. The method includes, in response to subsequent user input, selecting and presenting a subset of content items and content groups to the user ordered by the adjusted associated relevance weights assigned to the content items and content groups.

2. A user-interface system for selecting and presenting a collection of items in which the presentation is ordered at least in part based on navigation and selection behavior of a user learned over time, the system comprising:
-
logic for providing access to a set of items; logic for associating an initial relevance weight, on a per user basis, with each of a plurality of the items of the set to indicate a relative measure of a likelihood that the item is desired by the user; logic for receiving input entered by the user for identifying desired items; logic, responsive to the input entered by the user, for selecting and presenting a subset of items to the user as a navigable topology of items wherein the items are ordered at least in part by the initial associated relevance weights associated with the items; logic for receiving input entered by the user for navigating through the topology of the subset of items and for identifying and selecting the desired items; logic, responsive to a selection by the user of an item, for presenting said item to the user and for adjusting the associated relevance weight of said item; logic for selecting and presenting a subset of items to the user subsequent to adjusting the associated relevance weight of any of the items, wherein the items are ordered at least in part by the adjusted associated relevance weights assigned to the items such that items with greater associated relevance weights are presented as more relevant items. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
