Abstract

A method and system for image centric mobile application is provided. The method includes accessing a possible title image database comprising a plurality of images of book covers presentable to a user on a display, presenting one or more of the plurality of images to the user on the display, receiving a user touch input associated with the one or more of the plurality of images presented to the user and learning user preferences associated with the one or more of the plurality of images presented to the user based on the user touch input.

Claims (48)

1 . An application platform configurable for processing an image-based title selection mode comprising:

an accessor for accessing a possible title image database comprising a plurality of images of book covers presentable to a user;

an image presenter for presenting one or more of said plurality of images to said user;

an input receiver for receiving a user input associated with said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user; and

a learning engine for learning user preferences associated with said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user based on said user input.

2 . The application platform of claim 1 wherein said input receiver is configured for determining a left swipe or a right swipe as a user input associated with said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user.

3 . The application platform of claim 2 wherein in response to said input receiver receiving said left swipe, said learning engine prevents said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user from being displayed again.

4 . The application platform of claim 2 wherein in response to said input receiver receiving said right swipe, said learning engine enables said user to add a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images to a wish list associated with said user.

5 . The application platform of claim 2 wherein in response to said input receiver receiving said right swipe, said learning engine enables a user to buy a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images.

6 . The application platform of claim 2 wherein in response to said input receiver receiving said right swipe, said learning engine provides said user a summary of a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images.

7 . The application platform of claim 2 wherein in response to said input receiver receiving said right swipe, said learning engine provides said user a back cover image of a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images.

8 . A computing device comprising:

a memory that stores a set of instructions;

a display screen having touch functionality;

a processor that access the instructions in memory, the processor further configured to implement a method for processing an image-based title selection comprising:

accessing a possible title image database comprising a plurality of images of book covers presentable to a user on said display;

presenting one or more of said plurality of images to said user on said display;

receiving a user touch input associated with said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user; and

learning user preferences associated with said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user based on said user touch input.

9 . The computing device of claim 8 wherein said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

determining a left swipe or a right swipe on said display as a user input associated with said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user.

10 . The computing device of claim 9 wherein in response to receiving said left swipe, said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

preventing said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user from being displayed again.

11 . The computing device of claim 9 wherein in response to receiving said right swipe, said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

enabling said user to add a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images to a wish list associated with said user.

12 . The computing device of claim 9 wherein in response to receiving said right swipe, said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

enabling said user to buy a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images.

13 . The computing device of claim 9 wherein in response to receiving said right swipe, said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

providing said user a summary of a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images.

14 . The computing device of claim 9 wherein in response to receiving said right swipe, said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

providing said user a back cover image of a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images.

15 . A method for image-based title selection comprising:

accessing a possible title image database comprising a plurality of images of book covers presentable to a user on said display;

presenting one or more of said plurality of images to said user on said display;

receiving a user touch input associated with said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user; and

learning user preferences associated with said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user based on said user touch input.

16 . The method of claim 15 further comprising:

determining a left swipe or a right swipe on said display as a user input associated with said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user.

17 . The method of claim 16 wherein in response to receiving said left swipe, said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

preventing said one or more of said plurality of images presented to said user from being displayed again.

18 . The method of claim 16 wherein in response to receiving said right swipe, said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

enabling said user to add a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images to a wish list associated with said user.

19 . The method of claim 16 wherein in response to receiving said right swipe, said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

enabling said user to buy a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images.

20 . The method of claim 16 wherein in response to receiving said right swipe, said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

providing said user a summary of a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images.

21 . The method of claim 16 wherein in response to receiving said right swipe, said method for processing an image-based title selection further includes:

providing said user a back cover image of a media title associated with said one or more of said plurality of images.
