Abstract

Features are disclosed for an interface for browsing images of items having different scales and lengths such as clothing. The interface may present two portions of a subject, each portion selected from different data stores of images. The interface may provide a unified view of the portions. For example, a first portion may be taken from an image of the subject wearing a golf shirt and long pants. A second portion may be taken from an image of the subject wearing a long sleeved shirt and shorts. The first portion may show only the golf shirt and the second portion may show only the shorts thereby providing a depiction of what the subject would look like wearing the shirt shown in the first image with the shorts shown in the second image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
under control of a computing device executing specific computer-executable instructions,
receiving, from a first device, horizontal partition information for an interactive display area, wherein the horizontal partition information identifies a first display zone located above a horizontal partition and a second display zone located below the horizontal partition;
identifying a portion of a first image of a subject to present in the first display zone, the portion of the first image identified using a size of the interactive display area and the horizontal partition information, wherein the portion of the first image correlates to a first amount of the interactive display area covered by the first display zone;
identifying a portion of a second image of the subject to present in the second display zone, the portion of the second image identified using the size of the interactive display area and the horizontal partition information, wherein the portion of the second image correlates to a second amount of the interactive display area covered by the second display zone;
causing the portion of the first image to be presented in the first display zone via the first device and the portion of the second image to be presented in the second display zone via the first device;
detecting a first interaction with the first display zone in the first direction relative to the horizontal partition via the first device;
determining that a first magnitude of the first interaction does not satisfy a threshold;
adjusting a location of the portion of the first image of the subject presented in the first display zone based at least in part on the first magnitude of the first interaction and the first direction, wherein a quantity of adjustment to the location corresponds to the first magnitude, and wherein a direction of the adjustment to the location corresponds to the first direction;
detecting a second interaction with the first display zone in a second direction relative to the horizontal partition via the first device;
determining that a second magnitude of the second interaction satisfies the threshold;
selecting a third image from an image data source to present in the first display zone;
identifying a portion of the third image to present in the first display zone, the portion of the third image identified using the size of the interactive display area and the horizontal partition information, wherein the portion of the third image correlates to the first amount of the interactive display area covered by the first display zone;
causing the portion of the first image from the first display zone to move out of the interactive display area along the first direction; and
causing the portion of the third image in the first display zone to move into the interactive display area along the first direction to replace the portion of the first image.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the third image comprises:
identifying a category for an item shown in the portion of the first image;
searching an image data store using the category; and
receiving the third image in response to said searching, wherein the third image shows another item from the category.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a first centerline for the first image;
identifying a second centerline for the second image; and
aligning the portion of the first image with the portion of the second image based at least in part on the first centerline and the second centerline.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
storing the horizontal partition information, information identifying the portion of the second image presented in the second display zone, and information identifying the portion of the first image presented in the first display zone in a session record;
generating a record identifier for the session record;
receiving the record identifier;
retrieving the session record using the record identifier; and
causing an adjustment to at least one of the horizontal partition, the first display zone, and the second display zone of the interactive display area to show, via the interactive display area, the portion of the first image within the first display zone and the portion of the second image within second display zone.

5. A computer-implemented method comprising:
under control of a computing device executing specific computer-executable instructions,
identifying a portion of a first image of a first item to present in a first display zone of a graphical interface, wherein the portion of the first image correlates to a first amount of the graphical interface covered by the first display zone;
identifying a portion of a second image of a second item to present in a second display zone of the graphical interface, wherein the portion of the second image correlates to a second amount of the graphical interface covered by the second display zone;
causing presentation of the portion of the first image in the first display zone via a first device and presentation of the portion of the second image in the second display zone via the first device;
detecting an interaction with the first display zone via the first device, wherein the interaction includes an interaction magnitude;
determining that the interaction magnitude does not satisfy an interaction threshold; and
adjusting a location of image data presented via the first display zone based at least in part on the interaction magnitude, wherein a quantity of adjustment to the location corresponds to the interaction magnitude.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 ,
wherein the interaction includes an interaction direction, and
wherein adjusting the image data presented via the first display zone comprises adjusting the portion of the first image presented in the first display zone based at least in part on the interaction magnitude and the interaction direction.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the interaction includes an interaction direction, and wherein adjusting the image data presented via the first display zone comprises:
determining that the interaction magnitude exceeds the interaction threshold;
selecting a third image;
identifying a portion of the third image to present in the first display zone, wherein the portion of the third image correlates to the first amount of the graphical interface covered by the first display zone; and
causing presentation of the portion of the first image in the first display zone to be replaced with presentation of the portion of the third image.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein causing presentation of the portion of the first image from the first display zone to be replaced comprises causing presentation of the portion of the first image from the first display zone as moving out of the graphical interface along the interaction direction, and causing presentation of the portion of the third image as moving into the graphical interface along the interaction direction.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein selecting the third image comprises:
identifying a category for the first item shown in the portion of the first image;
searching an image data store using the category; and
receiving the third image in response to the searching of the image data store, wherein the third image shows another item within the category.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:
generating a pseudo-random value; and
selecting the third image from a set of images received in response to the s
