Patent Searching and Data


Title:
【発明の名称】ユーザプロファイル定義及び操作のための人間工学的なメカニズムを有するデータサーチユーザインタフェース
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003529154
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A user interface for querying and displaying records from a database employs a physical metaphor for the process of constructing queries and viewing results. User profiles are presented and manipulated to operate with queries in the same way as other criteria. For example, in one embodiment, the search criteria are shown as the beads on respective strings, the strings representing categories of criteria. One of the strings is a set of user profiles that can be added to a query in the same manner as the addition of criteria. Criteria are selected to form a query by moving corresponding beads to a query string. User preference profiles can be constructed in the same manner. Profiles are saved and represented as bead strings that can be used in further interactions in the same manner as criteria beads, Profiles can also be the result of automatic machine-analysis of user interaction.
