Navigating digital content using visual characteristics of the digital content
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- providing, via a graphical user interface, a display of a first digital content item from a collection of digital content items;
receiving a first user input with respect to the display of the first digital content item, the first user input identifying a selection of a first visual feature from the first digital content item;
identifying, by at least one processor, a subset of the collection of digital content items comprising a plurality of digital content items from the collection of digital content items that each have the first visual feature; and
providing access to the subset of the collection of digital content items that each have the first visual feature via the graphical user interface;
in response to receiving the first user input identifying the selection of the first visual feature, placing a graphical element over the display of the first digital content item at a location over the first digital content item corresponding to the first visual feature;
detecting a touch input on the graphical element placed over the display of the first digital content item; and
in response to detecting the touch input on the graphical element, advancing through the subset of the collection of digital content items that each have the first visual feature.

Abstract
One or more embodiments of a digital content system allow a user to conveniently search and/or navigate through a collection of digital content items. In particular, a user can interact with a client device to search for and identify one or more digital content items within a collection of digital content items. For example, the digital content system may provide a photo from a collection of photos via a graphical user interface. The digital content system can receive a user input identifying a selection of one or more visual features within the photo. Based on the selected visual feature(s), the digital content system may identify photos from the collection of photos that include the identified visual feature(s) and provide access to the identified photos via the graphical user interface.

19. A computing device comprising:
-
at least one processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to; provide, via a graphical user interface, a display of a digital content item from a collection of digital content items; receive a first user input with respect to the display of the first digital content item, the first user input identifying a selection of a first visual feature of the digital content item; identify a first set of a plurality of digital content items from the collection of digital content items that each have the first visual feature; provide access to the first set of the plurality of digital content items that each have the first visual feature via the graphical user interface; in response to receiving the first user input identifying the selection of the first visual feature, place a graphical element over the display of the first digital content item at a location over the first digital content item corresponding to the first visual feature; detect a touch input on the graphical element placed over the display of the first digital content item; in response to detecting the touch input on the graphical element placed over the display of the first digital content item, advance to a second digital content item from the first set of the plurality of digital content items having the first visual feature; receive a second user input with respect to a display of the second digital content item from the first set of the plurality of digital content items, the second user input identifying a selection of a second visual feature from the second digital content item from the first set of the plurality of digital content items that each have the first visual feature; identify, from the first set of one or more digital content items that each have the first visual feature, a second set of one or more digital content items that each have the first visual feature and the second visual feature; and provide access to the second set of one or more digital content items each having the first visual feature and the second visual feature via the graphical user interface. - View Dependent Claims (20)
