International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707722, 707707

Abstract:

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for generating and displaying the difference between a primary result set and a secondary result set. According to the present invention, a method for displaying the difference between a primary result set and a secondary result set for a query comprises generating a primary result set and a secondary result set, the primary result set and secondary result set generated according to one or more respective disparate search algorithms. A difference result set is determined according to a difference between items in the primary result set and second result set, which is displayed to a user.

Appl. No.:

12/359239

Inventors:

Thomas Hakel - Santa Rosa CA, US
David Andrew Simpson - San Francisco CA, US
Paul N. Vilevac - Pleasanton CA, US

Assignee:

Goldmail, Inc. - Santa Rosa CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715749, 715210, 7155001, 705 1453, 705 1466, 455466

Abstract:

Example embodiments provide apparatuses and methods directed to a system for presenting customized advertisements and branding in conjunction with an audio-visual presentation, e. g. , an online slideshow with audio enhancement, played on a player module on an access device. In example embodiments, the online slideshow includes a customized pre-roll advertisement, a customized post-roll advertisement, and/or a customized banner advertisement on the final slide of the slideshow. The system also might customize the GUI views displayed by the player module which plays the online slideshow and/or the player landing page on the CDN that hosts the player module. In example embodiments, the system might base the customization on branding (e. g. , in support of “white labeling”), seasonal themes, and/or personalization.
