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 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 with each of a plurality of the items of the set;
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 in a first presentation order of items browsable by the user wherein the arrangement of the items within the first presentation order is based at least in part on the initial associated relevance weights associated with the items;
receiving input entered by the user for browsing through the first presentation order 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 in a second presentation order of items browsable by the user wherein the arrangement of the items within the second presentation order is based at least in part on the adjusted associated relevance weights assigned to the 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.

7. A user-interface system for 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 with each of a plurality of the items of the set; 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 in a first presentation order of items browsable by the user wherein the arrangement of items within the first presentation order is based at least in part on the initial associated relevance weights associated with the items; logic for receiving input entered by the user for browsing through the first presentation order 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 in a second presentation order subsequent to adjusting the associated relevance weight of any of the items, wherein the arrangement of items within the second presentation order is based at least in part on the adjusted associated relevance weights assigned to the items. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer readable medium comprising program instructions for 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, wherein execution of the program instructions by a computer system causes the computer system to:
-
provide access to a set of items; associate an initial relevance weight with each of a plurality of the items of the set; receive input entered by the user for identifying desired items; in response to the input entered by the user, select and present a subset of items to the user in a first presentation order of items browsable by the user wherein the arrangement of the items within the first presentation order is based at least in part on the initial associated relevance weights associated with the items; receive input entered by the user for browsing through the first presentation order of items and for identifying and selecting the desired items; in response to a selection by the user of an item, present said item to the user and adjust the associated relevance weight of said item; subsequent to adjusting the associated relevance weight of any of the items, select and present a subset of items to the user in a second presentation order of items browsable by the user wherein the arrangement of the items within the second presentation order is based at least in part on the adjusted associated relevance weights assigned to the items. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
