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： According to one aspect of the present invention, a method of actively engaging a user of a search system can include receiving from the user a search query for a search of a corpus of information and providing the user with search results for the search. The user can also be prompted to participate in a search-related activity wherein at least one aspect of the search-related activity is dependent on a context of the search. User input for performing the search-related activity can be accepted and an activity response can be provided to the user.

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： A computing system and method receive a query; separate a plurality of information sources into individual elements of content (EOC); tag each EOC with metadata that indicate source, date, and other relevant information; pattern match each EOC; calculate the distance function from every EOC to every other EOC; and output 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); then concatenates the EOC in each virtual buffer (404); applies a comparative analysis filter (318) to remove redundant sub-elements; and presents the results as summary digests (408).

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 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).

摘要： A method and system for generating audio summaries of musical pieces receives computer readable data representing the musical piece and generates therefrom an audio summary including the main melody of the musical piece. A component builder generates a plurality of composite and primitive components representing the structural elements of the musical piece and creates a hierarchical representation of the components. The most primitive components, representing notes within the composition, are examined to determine repetitive patterns within the composite components. A melody detector examines the hierarchical representation of the components and uses algorithms to detect which of the repetitive patterns is the main melody of the composition. Once the main melody is detected, the segment of the musical data containing the main melody is provided in one or more formats. Musical knowledge rules representing specific genres of musical styles may be used to assist the component builder and melody detector in determining which primitive component patterns are the most likely candidates for the main melody.
