Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for generating a search results interface for sharing user content for subsequent media searches of a physical object. In one example, a system comprises machine readable instructions stored in the a memory of a client device. The instructions cause the client device to at least transmit to a computing device a request for an image search of an object. The request comprises an image of the object. An image result is received from the computing device in response to the request for the image search. The instructions cause the client device to display an image search results interface. The image search results interface includes an image result from the image search and an upload user interface component. The upload user interface component is configured to display an input interface for uploading user content associated with the object in the image result.

Claims (41)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing machine readable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to at least:

capture an image of an object using a camera;

transmit to a remote computing device a request for a visual search of the object, the request comprising the image of the object;

receive from the remote computing device an image result in response to the request for the visual search, wherein the image result comprises the object;

display a visual search results interface that includes the image result from the visual search and an upload user interface component; and

display an input interface in response to a selection of the upload user interface component, the input interface having a management component that is configured for adding a media item to a set of items stored in association with the object and configured for removing a particular media item from the set of items stored in association with the object, the set of items being accessible for a subsequent visual search by a plurality of client devices.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the media item comprises at least one of, an image file, or an audio file.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the visual search results interface comprises a cropped media file of the image and a plurality of search result items.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the input interface is configured to receive a hyperlink of the media item, wherein upon activation of the hyperlink the media item is displayed, the hyperlink is transmitted to the remote computing in order for the hyperlink to be stored in association with the object.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the input interface includes an invite component and a sharing component, the sharing component being configured to send an entry of the media item to a different user account, and the invite component being configured to invite a non-registered user to create a user account and view the entry of the media item.

6. A system, comprising:

a client device comprising a processor and a memory; and

machine readable instructions stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, cause the client device to at least:

transmit to a computing device a request for an image search of an object, the request comprising an image of the object;

receive from the computing device an image result in response to the request for the image search, wherein the image result comprises the object;

display an image search results interface that includes the image result from the image search and a selectable component; and

display an input interface for uploading user content associated with the object in the image result in response to receiving a selection of the selectable component, the input interface having a management component that is configured for adding a media item to a set of items stored in association with the object and configured for removing a particular media item from the set of items stored in association with the object.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein

the input interface comprises a text window for receiving a text input.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the machine readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the client device to at least:

transmit the user content to the computing device, wherein the user content is stored in association with the object in the image result, wherein the user content is configured to be displayed in association with a second image result for a second client device.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the input interface comprises an attachment component that is configured for uploading the media item in association with the object in the image result.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the input interface includes the image result from the image search results interface and a sharing component, the sharing component being configured to send an entry of the user content to a different user account.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the image result is a cropped image of a larger image that includes the object.

12. The system of claim 6 , wherein the user content comprises at least one of text, an image file, an audio file, or a hyperlink of a webpage.

13. The system of claim 6 , wherein the image search results interface includes a search results area that includes the image result from the image search.

14. The system of claim 6 , wherein the image search results interface is a media feed for a user account on a social media platform.

15. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

identifying, by a client device, an image of an object;

transmitting, by the client device, a request for an image search of the object to a computing device, the request comprising the image of the object;

receiving, by the client device, an image result from the computing device in response to the request, the image result comprising the object;

displaying, by the client device, an image search results interface that includes the image result and a user interface component; and

displaying, by the client device, an input interface for uploading user content associated with the object in the image result in response to receiving a selection of the user interface component, the input interface having a management component that is configured for adding a media item to a set of items stored in association with the object and configured for removing a particular media item from the set of items stored in association with the object.

16. The method of claim 15 ,

wherein the input interface displays a search trigger media item, the search trigger media item representing a basis for generating at least one search descriptor for the object, associated with the object.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the client device, the user content to the computing device, wherein the user content is stored in association with the object in the image result, and the user content is configured to be displayed for a subsequent image second for a second client device.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein identifying the image of the object comprises:

capturing, by the computing device, the image of the object using a camera.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the user content comprises at least one of text, an image file, an audio file, or a hyperlink of a webpage.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the image search results interface is a media feed for a user account on a social media platform, wherein the media feed includes a plurality of media items retrieved from a plurality of different social media platforms.
