Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method to search for a user generated content web page and a software to practice the same.
  • the usual methods consists of choosing some words suited to the object of the search. These words are inputted into the query page of an internet engine such as those proposed by Google Inc. or Yahoo Inc.
  • the search engine lists a set of web pages by their title and a automatically generated short abstract. A link gives access to the web page.
  • Search engines contain some internal, and often secret, algorithms to sort the list of web pages and to show to the user the most pertinent, hopefully, web pages at the beginning of the list.
  • a method to search for an user generated content web page comprises
  • the method further comprises a preliminary step of creating a database of lexical units comprising at least three subsets of lexical units: a subset of feeling expressions, a subset of action expressions and a subset of context expressions and the preparation of the set of lexical units comprises the assembly of at least one expression of each subset.
  • the method has the advantage to select preferentially web pages containing opinions about the selected matter.
  • the database comprises phonetic transcriptions and misspelled versions of said expressions; subsets of feeling expressions and action expressions are arranged as thesaurus in the database of lexical units;
  • each lexical units set of the list is inputted into the internet search engine, and the results for all sets are consolidated into a weighted list of the web pages ;
  • the weight of each web pages is a combination of the order of appearance of the web page in each result and the number of occurrence of the web page in all results .
  • a device to search for a web page comprises
  • means for consolidating results of said internet search engine wherein means for storing lexical units comprises a database of lexical units having at least three subsets of lexical units: a subset of feeling expressions, a subset of action expressions and a subset of context expressions and means for inputting said set of lexical units is adapted to input set of lexical units comprising at least one expression of each subset.
  • means for storing lexical units comprises means for storing phonetic transcription and misspelled versions of said expressions .
  • a computer program product to search for a web page comprises program instructions to execute the steps of the hereabove method when the computer program product is executed on a computer.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a terminal connected to internet to practice an embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • - Fig.3 is a functional view of a terminal practicing an embodiment of the invention.
  • a computer is connected to internet network 3. Through the network 3, the computer 1 is connected to a server 5 on which a search engine is running.
  • the server 5 symbolized the infrastructure of search companies such as Google Inc. or Yahoo Inc. In fact, these companies use server farms containing hundred of computers dispatched around the world.
  • a server 7 is also connected to the internet network 3 and contains a web page which is of interest for the user of the computer 1 but its address is not known by the computer 1.
  • the web page contains opinion on a product/service of interest for the user of the computer
  • I is a user generated content web page such as a blog, wiki or forum page.
  • the computer 1 is a classical personal computer. It comprises interface means such as a display 9, a keyboard
  • the storage means 15 contains a computer software product which, when executed by the processing means 17, makes the computer 1 execute the steps of a method to search for a web page according to an embodiment of the invention .
  • the method starts with the creation, step 20, of a database of lexical units to search for.
  • the database is stored in the storage means 15.
  • the database comprises at least three subsets of lexical units:
  • Feeling expressions mean lexical units which are related to the mood or feeling of a human being. For instance, words such as “trouble”, “happy/unhappy”, “unpleasant/pleasant”, etc. define a certain state of mind. Generally, they are the reasons for which a user has posted a message.
  • Action expressions mean lexical units which define action of a user such as "online reservation”, “booking”, “sales”, “offers”, etc.
  • Context expressions mean lexical units which are used to define the context or the specificity of the search. For instance, if the search concerns the comments of travellers having crossed the Channel, the context expressions includes terms like "ferry (ies)", "Channel
  • the subsets of feeling expressions and action expressions are structured in a form of thesaurus to allow a user to grab easily a set of words with similar meanings.
  • Each lexical unit is preferably stored in the database with all its lexical variations such as singular /plural, and with some misspelled forms.
  • the most usual misspelled forms are stored in the database as the searched web pages are edited by normal user with different cultural levels or who practices a foreign language. Therefore, it may be useful to be able to select pages ever if the words are misspelled.
  • a particular misspelled form which is often used by teenagers accustomed to the short messages of the mobile phone is the phonetic form.
  • a set of lexical units is prepared at step 22.
  • the set includes at least one lexical unit of each subset.
  • a set of lexical units is, for instance, "unhappy experience in channel crossing” where "unhappy” belongs to the feeling subset, "experience” belongs to the action subset and "channel crossing” belongs to the context subset.
  • the preparation is, advantageously, a guided automatic process in which the user selects some groups of lexical units in each subset and all the sets combining elements of these groups as well as their different forms are automatically generated, forming a list.
  • each set of lexical units is inputted into an internet search engine, such as Google engine (www . google . com) or Yahoo engine (www. yahoo . com) .
  • This step is done automatically either by building HTTP request with the adapted syntax or by using some Application Specific Interface (API) provided by these companies to automatize the internet searches with their engine .
  • API Application Specific Interface
  • the computer 1 receives classically the results of the requests as a list of links to web pages. For each request, i.e. for each set of lexical units, the search engine returns at least one web page containing a list of links. Therefore, the computer 1 may receive a huge number of links .
  • these lists of links are consolidated. Identical links found on different lists are merged but with, advantageously, an increased weight associated to the link as the fact that a page is selected through different search requests may be an indicia of relevance.
  • the internet search engines sort the found pages to present to the user on top of the list the "most relevant" page.
  • Each internet engine has its own algorithm to sort the pages and this algorithm is often kept secret.
  • the sorted list is also used to give to the "most relevant" pages in the sense of the internet search engine a superior weight.
  • a combination of weights coming from the internet search engine sort and from the number of occurrences is used to sort the consolidated list by decreasing weight.
  • the sorted list contains page addresses as hyperlink fields. Therefore, each page can be addressed by the user to be read.
  • computer 1 comprises, Fig. 3, from a functional point of view, means 30 for storing lexical units.
  • means 30 for storing lexical units comprises a database 32 of lexical units having at least three subsets of lexical units: a subset of feeling expressions, a subset of action expressions and a subset of context expressions.
  • Computer 1 comprises also means 34 for inputting a set of lexical units into an internet search engine, the set of lexical units comprising at least one expression of each subset.
  • And computer 1 comprises means 35 for consolidating results send by the internet search engine.
