Abstract

Content creation suggestion techniques are described. In one or more implementations, techniques are implemented to generate suggestions that are usable to guide creative professionals in the creation of content such as images, video, sound, multimedia, and so forth. A variety of techniques are usable to generate suggestions for the content professionals. In a first such example, suggestions are based on shared characteristics of images obtained by users of a content sharing service, e.g., licensed by the users. In another example, suggestions are generated by the content sharing service based on keywords used to locate the images. In a further example, suggestions are generated based on data described communications performed using social network services. In yet another example, recognition of failure of search is used to generate suggestions. A variety of other examples are also contemplated and described herein.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. In a digital medium environment for controlling image searches, a method comprising:
performing an image search by one or more computing devices of images made available via a network by a content sharing service;
recognizing by the one or more computing devices that the image search is considered a failure based on the image search resulting in less than a threshold number of image results;
responsive to the recognizing, supplementing the image search by the one or more computing devices based on one or more other searches made by the content sharing service that are selected based on trends exhibited by the one or more other searches that indicate increasing popularity of the one or more other searches; and
controlling output by the one or more computing devices of a result in a user interface of the image search and the supplemented search, the controlling including embedding digital rights management functionality in images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search, the digital rights management functionality is configured to report how the images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search are being used back to the content sharing service.

2. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the one or more other searches are selected as having similarity to the image search.

3. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image search is a keyword search used to locate corresponding tags of the images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search.

4. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image search is included in a series of search inputs.

5. The method as described in claim 4 , wherein the series of search inputs do not result in a user obtaining an image of the images made available via the network by the content sharing service.

6. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the content sharing service makes the images available via the network to users by licensing rights to use the images.

7. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the digital rights management functionality includes at least one of watermarks or access protections.

8. In a digital medium environment for controlling image searches, a method comprising:
performing an image search, by at least one computing device, of images made available via a network by a content sharing service;
recognizing, by the at least one computing device, the image search as a failure based on the image search resulting in less than a threshold number of image results;
responsive to the recognizing, supplementing, by the at least one computing device, the image search by performing the image search along with a supplemented search based on search trends; and
controlling, by the at least one computing device, output of a result in a user interface of the image search and the supplemented search, the controlling including embedding digital rights management functionality in images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search, the digital rights management functionality is configured to report how the images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search are being used back to the content sharing service.

9. The method as described in claim 8 , wherein the image search is included in a series of similar searches.

10. The method as described in claim 8 , wherein the image search is a keyword search used to locate corresponding tags of the images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search.

11. The method as described in claim 10 , wherein the tags embed the digital rights management functionality and protect the images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search from unauthorized use.

12. The method as described in claim 8 , further comprising:
analyzing characteristics of the search trends; and
exposing the characteristics as a content creation guide.

13. The method as described in claim 12 , wherein the characteristics include common objects included in the images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search.

14. The method as described in claim 8 , further comprising exposing the image search as a suggestion to guide content creation.

15. The method as described in claim 8 , wherein the digital rights management functionality includes at least one of watermarks or access protections.

16. A system comprising:
a processing system; and
a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the processing system, causes the processing system to perform operations including:
performing an image search, via a network, of images made available via the network by a content sharing service;
recognizing the image search as a failure based on the image search resulting in less than a threshold number of image results;
performing a supplemented search based on one or more searches made by the content sharing service; and
controlling output of a result of the image search and the supplemented search, the controlling including embedding digital rights management functionality in images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search, the digital rights management functionality is configured to report how the images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search are being used back to the content sharing service.

17. The system as described in claim 16 , wherein the content sharing service makes the images available via the network to users by licensing rights to use the images.

18. The system as described in claim 16 , wherein the one or more searches made by the content sharing service have similarity to the image search.

19. The system as described in claim 16 , wherein the one or more searches made by the content sharing service exhibit trends that indicate increasing popularity of the one or more searches.

20. The system as described in claim 16 , wherein the image search is a keyword search used to locate corresponding tags of the images included in the result of the image search and the supplemented search.
