Presenting interactive images with search results
First Claim
1. One or more computer media devices storing computer-useable instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to perform a method, comprising:
- receiving a search query at a search engine;
determining that content of the search query has a related interactive image associated with the search engine;
transmitting a link to the interactive image for presentation as a search result on a search engine results page;
receiving a user selection of the link;
transmitting the interactive image for presentation; and
enabling user interaction with the interactive image by enabling movement of a location of at least one interactive region within the interactive image.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for presenting interactive images associated with a search engine in association with a search engine results page (SERP) are provided. Upon receiving a search query at a search engine, it is determined that the search query content has a related interactive image associated with the search engine. An interactive image may be associated with the search engine, for instance, by having been previously presented as a background image for a search engine home page. A link to the interactive image may be presented as a search result on the SERP, the interactive image may be automatically presented as a background image of the SERP, or the interactive image may be determined to be related to an algorithmically-derived search result and a visual indicator thereof may be presented in association with the search result.

8. A system comprising:
-
a computing device associated with a search engine having one or more processors and one or more computer-readable storage media; and a data store coupled with the search engine, wherein the search engine; receives a search query from a client computing device; determines that content of the search query has a related interactive image associated with the search engine; and automatically navigates the client computing device to a search engine results page associated with the search engine, the search engine results page having the interactive image presented as a background image to one or more search results. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method comprising:
-
receiving a search query at a search engine; determining, by a processor, a plurality of search results that are directed to the received search query; determining, by the processor, that at least one of the plurality of search results has a related interactive image associated with a previously presented home page of the search engine; transmitting the plurality of search results for presentation; and transmitting a visual indicator for presentation in association with the at least one of the plurality of search results to indicate that there is a related interactive image associated therewith. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
