摘要： The present invention provides for improving the search relevance of a search results page by including a perceived relevance factor. The system, device and method monitors user selection of elements in the search results page, where these selections indicate relevance of the element compared with the original search request. A perceived relevance factor for the element is then determined based on probabilistic-based computations accounting for the element, which may include a description, a thumbnail and/or meta data, and the position of the element on the search results page. Thereby, for future searches and search results page generation, relevance factors may be calculated based on various factors, including the element attribute based relevant scores and the perceived relevance factor.

摘要： Techniques are described herein for automatically evaluating the quality of digital images based on one or more color characteristics of the images. In some embodiments, a quality metric that indicates the likelihood that the digital images convey semantics is generated based on color characteristics of the digital images. The quality metric may be used, for example, to determine which keyframe to use to make a thumbnail to represent video data. In some embodiments, feature values are generated for an image based on color characteristics of the image, and the feature values are assigned to bins. In such embodiments, the quality metric may be generated to indicate how uniform the distribution of feature values is among the bins.

摘要： Computer systems and methods incorporate user annotations (metadata) regarding various pages or sites, including annotations by a querying user and by members of a trust network defined for the querying user into search and browsing of a corpus such as the World Wide Web. A trust network is defined for each user, and annotations by any member of the querying user's trust network are made visible to the querying user during search and/or browsing of the corpus if the querying user and trust network members use similar queries to identify documents in the corpus. Users can also limit searches to content annotated by members of their trust networks or by members of a community selected by the user.

摘要： A wireless web system allows users to navigate web pages that include links to audio content where the pages are provided over a data connection and the audio content is provided over a voice connection. An audio content reference generator generates a reference to a portion of static audio content and that audio content reference is provided to the user's wireless web client as a link on a wireless web page, or other page retrieved by the wireless web device over the data connection. The audio content reference and a telephone number of an audio server form the link on the page, so that when a user selects that link, the wireless device establishes a voice connection to the audio server using the telephone number and then provides the audio server with the audio content reference so that the user hears the specifically referenced audio content over the voice channel.
