Abstract

In various embodiments, a platform is provided for interactive user experiences. One or more tags may be associated with content. Each tag may correspond to at least one item represented in the content. Items represented in the content may include people, places, phrases, goods, services, etc. The platform may determine what information to associate with each tag in the one or more tags. One or more links between each tag in the one or more tags and determined information may be generated based on a set of business rules. Accordingly, links may be static or dynamic, in that they may change over time when predetermined criteria is satisfied. The links may be stored in a repository accessible consumers of the content such that selection of a tag in the one or more tags by the consumer of the content causes determined information associated with the tag to be presented to the consumer of the content.

Claims

1. A method for providing an interactive user experience, the method comprising:

receiving, at one or more computer systems, one or more tags associated with content, each tag corresponding to at least one item represented in the content;

determining, with one or more processors associated with the one or more computer systems, what information to associate with each tag in the one or more tags;

generating, with the one or more processors associated with the one or more computer systems, one or more links between each tag in the one or more tags and determined information based on a set of business rules; and

storing the one or more links in a repository accessible to the one or more computer systems and at least one consumer of the content such that selection of a tag in the one or more tags by the consumer of the content causes determined information associated with the tag to be presented to the consumer of the content.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein each of receive, determining, generating, and storing steps are performed in response to one-step tagging.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one of the one or more tags are generated by a producer of the content.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein determining what information to associate with each tag in the one or more tags comprises receiving tag associated information from the producer of the content.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one of the one or more tags are user-generated.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein determining what information to associate with each tag in the one or more tags comprises receiving user-specified tag associated information.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the at least one item represented in the content comprises at least one of a location, a structure, a person, a good, or a service.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein determining, with one or more processors associated with the one or more computer systems, what information to associate with each tag in the one or more tags comprises:

determining one or more information sources;

querying the one or more information sources; and

receiving results from the one or more information sources.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein generating the one or more links between each tag in the one or more tags and determined information based on the set of business rules comprises associating a portion of the results from the one or more information sources with a tag in the one or more tags.

10. The method of claim 8 wherein generating the one or more links between each tag in the one or more tags and determined information based on the set of business rules comprises associating at least one action in the results from the one or more information sources with a tag in the one or more tags.

11. The method of claim 1 further comprising generating one or more updated links between each tag in the one or more tags and determined information based on the set of business rules.

12. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving, at the one or more computer systems, marking information;

and

determining one or more trends or behaviors based on the marking information.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable code for providing an interactive user experience, the computer-readable medium comprising:

code for receiving one or more tags associated with content, each tag corresponding to at least one item represented in the content;

code for determining what information to associate with each tag in the one or more tags;

code for generating one or more links between each tag in the one or more tags and determined information based on a set of business rules; and

code for storing the one or more links in a repository accessible to at least one consumer of the content such that selection of a tag in the one or more tags by the consumer of the content causes determined information associated with the tag to be presented to the consumer of the content.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 wherein the at least one item represented in the content comprises at least one of a location, a structure, a person, a good, or a service.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 wherein the code for determining what information to associate with each tag in the one or more tags comprises:

code for determining one or more information sources;

code for querying the one or more information sources; and

code for receiving results from the one or more information sources.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein the code for generating the one or more links between each tag in the one or more tags and determined information based on the set of business rules comprises code for associating a portion of the results from the one or more information sources with a tag in the one or more tags.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein the code for generating the one or more links between each tag in the one or more tags and determined information based on the set of business rules comprises code for associating at least one action in the results from the one or more information sources with a tag in the one or more tags.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 further comprising code for generating one or more updated links between each tag in the one or more tags and determined information based on the set of business rules.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 further comprising code for receiving marking information;

and

code for determining one or more trends or behaviors based on the marking information.

20. An electronic device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory in communication with the processor and configured to store code executable by the processor that configures the processor to;

receive an indication of a selected tag;

receive tag associated information based on the selected tag; and

output the tag associated information.
