This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17838604 titled 'GRAPHIC SEARCH BAR WITH RESPONSIVE RESULTS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for a graphic search bar with responsive results. Here are the key points:

  • A search bar is generated with a text input area and dropdown menus containing selectable options.
  • The search bar is rendered in an application user interface that offers searchable content options.
  • When an option is selected from a dropdown menu, the content options are filtered in real time based on the selection.
  • The filtered search results are immediately displayed to the user.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various domains, including:

  • E-commerce platforms: Users can easily search for products by selecting specific options from dropdown menus.
  • Content management systems: Users can quickly find relevant content by filtering options and seeing real-time search results.
  • Travel websites: Users can search for flights, hotels, or vacation packages by selecting desired options and getting instant search results.

Problems Solved

The graphic search bar with responsive results solves the following problems:

  • Time-consuming search processes: Users can find desired information or products more efficiently by filtering options and seeing immediate results.
  • Complex search interfaces: The search bar simplifies the search process by providing dropdown menus with selectable options, making it easier for users to specify their search criteria.

Benefits

This technology offers several benefits:

  • Enhanced user experience: Users can quickly find what they are looking for without having to navigate through multiple pages or complex search interfaces.
  • Real-time filtering: The search results are dynamically updated as users select different options, providing instant feedback and reducing search time.
  • Improved search accuracy: By filtering options, users can narrow down their search criteria and receive more relevant results.
