Abstract: Architecture that monitors interaction data (e.g., search queries, query results and click-through rates), and provides users with links to other users that fall into similar categories with respect to the foregoing monitored activities (e.g., providing links to individuals and groups that share common interests and/or profiles). A search engine can be interactively coupled with one or more social networks, and that maps individuals and/or groups within respective social networks to subsets of categories associated with searches. A database stores mapped information which can be continuously updated and reorganized as links within the system mapping become stronger or weaker. The architecture can comprise a social network system that includes a database for mapping search-related information to an entity of a social network, and a search component for processing a search query for search results and returning a link to an entity of a social network based on the search query.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods providing content-access-based information retrieval. Information items from a plurality of disparate information sources that have been previously accessed or considered are automatically indexed in a data store, whereby a multifaceted user interface is provided to efficiently retrieve the items in a cognitively relevant manner. Various display output arrangements are possible for the retrieved information items including timeline visualizations and multidimensional grid visualizations. Input options include explicit, implicit, and standing queries for retrieving data along with explicit and implicit tagging of items for ease of recall and retrieval. In one aspect, an automated system is provided that facilitates concurrent searching across a plurality of information sources. A usage analyzer determines user accessed items and a content analyzer stores subsets of data corresponding to the items, wherein at least two of the items are associated with disparate information sources, respectively. An automated indexing component indexes the data subsets according to past data access patterns as determined by the usage analyzer. A search component responds to a search query, initiates a search across the indexed data, and outputs links to locations of a subset and/or provides sparse representations of the subset.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及提供基于内容访问的信息检索的系统和方法。 来自先前访问或考虑的多个不同信息源的信息项目被自动索引到数据存储器中，由此提供多方面用户界面以有效地以认知相关的方式检索项目。 对于所检索的信息项，包括时间线可视化和多维网格可视化，各种显示输出布置是可能的。 输入选项包括用于检索数据的显式，隐式和常规查询，以及容易召回和检索的项目的显式和隐式标记。 在一个方面，提供了一种便于在多个信息源上并行搜索的自动化系统。 使用分析器确定用户访问的项目，并且内容分析器存储对应于项目的数据子集，其中至少两个项目分别与不同的信息源相关联。 自动索引组件根据使用分析器确定的过去的数据访问模式来索引数据子集。 搜索组件响应搜索查询，在索引的数据上发起搜索，并且输出到子集的位置的链接和/或提供子集的稀疏表示。

Abstract: The system and method of the present invention provides peripheral awareness of information to a user. The information to be provided is either determined automatically, or specified by the user. Once the information to be provided is determined or specified, it is automatically tracked or watched via at least one conventional communications interface for accessing one or more conventional communications sources. Current information is then automatically dynamically provided in an interactive peripheral display which minimizes any potential distraction to the user. Determining or specifying, tracking or watching, and providing the information is accomplished using at least one customizable dynamic encapsulated object, a “ticket,” that when paired with a “viewer,” provides peripheral awareness of information to the user. Further, in one embodiment, the tickets are sharable among users, and may be copied, cut, pasted, saved, transmitted, dragged and dropped from web pages, etc., like any other electronic file using conventional techniques.

Abstract translation: 本发明的系统和方法向用户提供信息的周边意识。 要提供的信息是由用户自动确定或指定的。 一旦要提供的信息被确定或指定，则通过至少一个常规通信接口来自动跟踪或观看信息以访问一个或多个常规通信源。 当前信息随后自动动态地提供在交互式外围显示器中，这最小化了对用户的任何潜在的分心。 使用至少一个可定制的动态封装对象（“票证”）来确定或指定，跟踪或观看和提供信息，当与“观众”配对时，向用户提供信息的周边意识。 此外，在一个实施例中，票据在用户之间可共享，并且可以像使用常规技术的任何其他电子文件一样从网页等复制，剪切，粘贴，保存，传送，拖放。

Abstract: A skimmed or preview version of multimedia content is provided to a client computer by a server computer using playlists. The skimmed version of multimedia content can be presented to a user of a client computer in less time than presenting the entire multimedia content would require. The server computer maintains skimming information that identifies particular segments of the multimedia content corresponding to the skimmed version. The server computer uses the skimming information to generated a playlist, which in turn is used by the server computer to access the appropriate segments of the multimedia content and provided the segments to the client computer.

Abstract: A multimedia server computer or other device can provide multimedia content, as well as summaries of the multimedia content, to one or more client computers. Each of the users of a client computer is identified as being part of a particular group and summaries are generated for each group. Each summary includes those portions of the multimedia content that are most interesting to previous users of the corresponding group.

Abstract: A human viewing temporally-dimensioned content of a multimedia document through use of a computer can add substantive content to temporally-dimensioned content of the multimedia document to thereby annotate, comment upon, and augment the multimedia document. Thus, a multimedia document becomes a basis for collaborative work. The substantive content added by the viewing user is in the form of a temporal annotation which identifies a particular relative time in temporally-dimensioned content of the multimedia document and which includes user-authored content provided by the viewing user. Display of the multimedia document includes presentation of the temporal annotations created by the user. A graphical user interface enables the user to select a temporal annotation from a list and immediately proceed to presentation of the multimedia document such that temporally-dimensioned content is presented at the particular relative time represented by the selected temporal annotation. In addition, as temporally-dimensioned content of the multimedia document is displayed, temporal annotations are represented in the display of the multimedia document as the particular relative time represented by each temporal annotation is reached. Thus, the user-authored content becomes part of the display of the multimedia document in a temporal context.

Abstract translation: 通过使用计算机的多媒体文档的人类观看时间尺寸内容可以向多媒体文档的时间尺寸内容添加实质内容，从而对多媒体文档进行注释，评论和扩充。 因此，多媒体文档成为协作工作的基础。 由观看用户添加的实质内容是时间注释的形式，其标识多媒体文档的时间尺寸内容中的特定相对时间，并且包括由观看用户提供的用户创作的内容。 多媒体文档的显示包括由用户创建的时间注释的呈现。 图形用户界面使得用户能够从列表中选择时间注释，并立即继续呈现多媒体文档，使得在由所选择的时间注释表示的特定相对时间呈现时间尺寸内容。 此外，由于显示多媒体文档的时间尺寸内容，因此当达到由每个时间注释表示的特定相对时间时，时间注释被表示在多媒体文档的显示中。 因此，用户创作的内容在时间上下文中成为多媒体文档的显示的一部分。
