Abstract

User interfaces that prioritize the presentation of images over other content are generated to facilitate user understanding of available items, especially in cases where a user is accessing a website using a mobile device or other device having a limited display area. When an interface containing images and non-image content is presented, such as a search result output, the user may select an image view in which each image is presented in association with a category of the image, while excluding output of non-image content. User interaction with a particular image may be used to access the non-image content associated with that image. In some cases, user interaction with an image may cause presentation of a three-dimensional model of the depicted item, which may be rotated and magnified through additional user input.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions; and
one or more hardware processors to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
access first interface data that includes: a first image associated with a first category, first text associated with the first image, a second image associated with a second category, second text associated with the second image, and a control for requesting second interface data, wherein the first interface data causes presentation of a first interface that presents the first image in association with the first text and a first indication of the first category, and the second image in association with the second text and a second indication of the second category;
provide the first interface data to a user device;
receive first user input associated with the control;
generate the second interface data based on the first interface data, wherein the second interface data causes presentation of a second interface that presents the first image in association with the first indication of the first category and the second image in association with the second indication of the second category, and excludes presentation of the first text and the second text;
provide the second interface data to the user device;
receive second user input associated with the first image; and
in response to the second user input, provide third interface data to the user device, wherein the third interface data includes at least a portion of the first text.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first image is associated with an item, the system further comprising computer-executable instructions to:
determine a model representing a three-dimensional view of the item based on a plurality of images associated with the item;
include the model in the third interface data, wherein the third interface data causes presentation of the model in a first orientation;
receive third user input associated with the model; and
in response to the third user input, one or more of rotate the model or change a level of magnification associated with the model to cause presentation of the model in a second orientation.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising computer-executable instructions to:
based on the third interface data, cause presentation of a third interface within a frame presented with the second interface, wherein at least a portion of the second interface is visible during presentation of the third interface, and input to the at least a portion of the second interface causes navigation to the second interface.

4. A method comprising:
determining first interface data that includes: a first image, first non-image data associated with the first image, and a first indication of a first category associated with the first image, wherein the first interface data causes presentation of a first interface that presents the first image in association with the first non-image data and the first indication;
generating second interface data based on the first interface data, wherein the second interface data causes presentation of a second interface that presents the first image in association with the first indication and excludes presentation of the first non-image data; and
generating third interface data based on the first interface data, wherein the third interface data causes presentation of at least a portion of the first non-image data in response to first user input indicating the first image.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving second user input to cause scrolling of the first image; and
in response to the second user input, moving the first image relative to the first indication of the first category, wherein the first indication of the first category is maintained in a stationary orientation within the second interface.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first interface data further includes a second image associated with a second category, the method further comprising:
generating the second interface data to further cause presentation of the second image in association with a second indication of the second category.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first interface data further includes a second image associated with a second category and second non-image data, the method further comprising:
generating the second interface data to further cause presentation of the second image in association with a second indication of the second category, and to cause presentation of a control associated with the second category for requesting the first interface data;
receiving second user input associated with the control; and
in response to the second user input, causing presentation of at least a portion of the second non-image data in association with the second indication of the second category.

8. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
providing the first interface data to a user device, wherein the first interface data causes presentation of a control for selecting presentation of images;
receiving, from the user device, second user input indicative of the control; and
providing the second interface data to the user device, wherein the second interface data causes the presentation of the first image.

9. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving the first user input indicating the first image; and
in response to the first user input and based on the third interface data, presenting the at least a portion of the first non-image data within a frame presented with the second interface, wherein at least a portion of the second interface is external to the frame and input to the at least a portion of the second interface causes navigation to the second interface.

10. The method of claim 4 , wherein the third interface data further includes a model representing a three-dimensional view of an item, the method further comprising:
receiving the first user input indicating the first image;
in response to the first user input and based on the third interface data, presenting the model in a first orientation;
receiving second user input associated with the model; and
in response to the second user input, one or more of rotating the model or changing a level of magnification associated with the model to cause presentation of the model in a second orientation.

11. The method of claim 4 , wherein first image is associated with a first item, the method further comprising:
determining a second item related to the first item;
determining a second image that represents the second item;
including the second image in the third interface data;
receiving second user input indicative of the second image;
determining fourth interface data that includes one or more of: the second image, a third image representing the second item, or second non-image data associated with the second item; and
causing presentation of a third interface based on the fourth interface data.

12. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first image is associated with a first item, the method further comprising:
receiving the first user input indicating the first image;
in response to the first user input, determining second non-image data associated with the first item; and
causing presentation of an interface that includes the at least a portion of the first non-image data and at least a portion of the second non-image data.

13. A system comprising:
one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions; and
one or more hardware processors to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
determine a model representing a three-dimension
