    摘要: A method receives a query; separates a plurality of information sources into individual elements of content (EOC); tags each EOC with metadata that indicate source, date, and other relevant information; pattern matches each EOC; calculates the respective distance function from every EOC to every other EOC; and outputs EOC to a set of virtual buffers (404) containing appropriately related EOC less than a given distance value. The method further creates virtual summary buffers (406); concatenates the EOC in each virtual buffer (404); applies a comparative analysis filter (318) to remove redundant sub-elements extracts context-preserving EOC, determined based upon a respective degree of corroboration of the context preserving EOC, from each respective concatenated EOC. The method synthesizes the content-preserving EOC extracted from each respective concatenated EOC into summary digests; and presents the results as summary digests (408).

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for automatically annotating a document to offer, to a viewer, a choice of operations that a user can take relative to identified entities to which the document refers, where the choice of operations offered in relation to each such entity is appropriate to and based on the types of that entity. In one embodiment of the invention, for each “interesting” entity within a document, a mechanism automatically determines one or more types for that entity. The mechanism automatically annotates the document so that an application will present entity-type-specific data (including operation choices) that is generated by modules that are mapped to the types of the entities within the document. The annotations comprise metadata that indicates types of each “interesting” entity. The entity-type-specific data may be presented along with the rest of the document. A user need not navigate to a different document prior to viewing the data.

    摘要: In an example embodiment, the present invention provides methods and logic for enhancing augmented search, including contextual search, conducted by a search engine. In some instances, a contextual search might return a set of results that are less relevant than the set of results returned by algorithmic search. This might occur when the quantity of contextual information is very large or when the contextual information includes misspellings. An embodiment of the present invention detects such occurrences and corrects the set of results provided to the user by merging a ranked set of results from the contextual search with a ranked set of results from an algorithmic search. During this merge process, an embodiment of the present invention replaces irrelevant results from the contextual search with results from the algorithmic search if the latter results fall within the context used for the contextual search. Embodiments of the present invention might also be used to enhance, in a similar fashion, personalized search and other forms of augmented search.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for processing search results obtained in response to a user query. This may include examining document pointers returned by a search engine to identify a source from which the documents are available and generating at least two visual abstracts of each of the documents. Each of the visual abstracts may be of a different size. The method and system may also include formatting a stream of data such that when the data is displayed, a smaller one of the visual abstracts appears adjacent to a corresponding search result.

    摘要: The resultant search result items from a search engine performing an Internet search are associated with similar or related advertisements. These associated advertisements, once acquired, may be viewed by a user on demand. An Internet user selects a query to submit to a search engine. For each search result item available from the query, a matching search of related product advertisements is then performed. For each related product advertisement found for a given search result item, the search result item is then flagged. This process is repeated until each search result item has been investigated and matched to related product advertisements when applicable. The user then designates a selection. This selection initiates a search of an advertisement database. Each product advertisement acquired is then formatted and displayed to the user.The computer system capable of associating related advertisements to individual search results items uses the following subsystems: 1) a product database; 2) a user/session manager; 3) a product matching manager; 4) a product listing manager; and, 5) a result presentation manager.

    摘要: A computer program product is provided as a system for use with a search engine and a search engine repository to dynamically associate keywords within a search result set encountered in an abstract of a search result item with a domain-specific query. In the system, a local query database stores the domain-specific query, and a synchronization unit synchronizes the search engine repository and the local query database. A query builder builds a search query from a query template using the search engine repository. A summary marker incorporates the search query with the keyword in the abstract of the search result item. A keyword detector generates a list of keywords included in a domain-specific dictionary. A search result calibration manager calibrates the number of the query result items. A search result item buffer receives a request for processing an abstract metadata item from the synchronization unit. The request includes a Universal Resource Locator (URL) and a corresponding abstract, wherein the query builder uses a (URL, keyword) pair to build the domain-specific query from the query template. The summary marker updates the abstract corresponding to the URL in the search engine repository, and marks and inserts the domain-specific query for all occurrences of the keyword.

    摘要: A system and method of distributed metadata searching is disclosed. The present invention permits an extension of the searching and retrieval functions of existing Internet web search engines by utilizing computational resources embodied in user computer systems and search browsers. By distributing the searching and scanning functions to the user level, the present invention reduces the computational and communications burden on Internet web search engines and crawlers, resulting in lower computational resource utilization by Internet search engine providers. Given the exponential growth rate currently being experienced in the Internet community, the present invention provides one of the few methods by which complete searches of this vast distributed database may be performed. The present invention permits embodiments incorporating a Search Manger (1001) further comprising a Service Results Manager (1013), User Profile Database (1012), Service Manager(1013), and Service Database (1014); a Light Weight Application SCANNER (1002); and a Search Engine (1008). These components may be augmented in some preferred embodiments via the use of a Search Browser (1003), Internet Communications (1004); Web Site(s) (1005), Web Crawler(s) (1006), and a Repository Database (1007).
