PROCESS FOR PROCESSING ACCESS TO SITES

INTERNET

  The present invention relates to the field of processing access to websites. We know in the state of the art the patent W09935777 describing a system making it possible to manage the upload and download, the collection and the recording of bookmark addresses (URL address codes) using a site. Remote internet. The system can be used in a web browser. This method makes it possible to access Internet data by means of an Internet address or bookmark kept on a remote site (URL address code) at a user site. The prior art method consists in establishing Internet communication with a website, and in receiving identification information from

  the user allowing access to a saved bookmark.

  At least one of the bookmarks saved on the website is selected and the data transfer starts from a corresponding internet data source. The addresses of Internet bookmarks are gathered by identification of an attribute attribute characteristic of a

bookmark address category.

  The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and a computer system for personalizing access to sites, from a set of sites prerecorded on a server, in order to facilitate access to sites relevant to the gaze. of the

  interests of each user.

  To this end, the invention relates, in its most general sense, to a method for the personalization of a computer tool for access to digital files such as websites, comprising a step of recording in a electronic memory a plurality of IP addresses (Internet Protocol) corresponding to pages of selected sites, characterized in that it comprises an initial step of defining a personal profile of the user, said step consisting in transmitting from a server a file of type " HTML form "to a host device, and to return the personalization information in the form of a digital file, said information being used to construct a request for the extraction of a database recorded on the server of a sub- data set corresponding to themes filtered according to personalization information, to be transmitted to the host equipment a file r digital constituting a

  form for selecting at least part of said sub-

  together, and to register a personal database containing a personalized list of IP addresses of a selection of sites corresponding to the themes selected in said subset, the method comprising subsequent steps for displaying on the host equipment. of the personalized list of IP addresses with means of activating an address of said list for access to the

corresponding site.

  This process allows the Internet user to have the addresses of preselected and qualified sites based on some discriminating personal information, as well as a structured plan which will receive the preselected sites directly. It also makes it possible to give the Internet user a space where he can manage and update the favorite sites and to offer him

  additional sites to update its list.

  Advantageously, the method further comprises steps for recording personal information [degree of interest for example] in relation to

  each of the IP addresses in the custom list.

  According to a variant, it further comprises steps of adding to each of the personalized lists of IP addresses corresponding to sites correlated with the

registered sites.

  According to another variant, it includes means for prioritizing the data in the personalized list. According to a particular mode of implementation, certain databases comprising a personalized list are common to a community of users. The present invention will be better understood on

  reading the description of a non-limiting example of

  embodiment which follows, referring to the appended drawings o: The single figure represents the diagram of

  principle of a system for implementing the invention.

  The method according to the invention makes it possible to make available to each Internet user access to a limited number of preselected and qualified sites according to the profile of the user. These sites are presented in a structured manner. They are automatically integrated into the favorites or bookmarks file of a navigation software and / or stored in a file

digital on a remote server.

  This set of sites constitutes a basis for

  relevant reference for the Internet user.

  The first step, for a new user, is to create an account and complete a profile (1) by receiving a form from the server. This form, for example an HTML form, is intended for the entry of personal information likely to define the profile of the user. The response is sent by the user to the server as a digital file. The server proceeds to the edition of a second form corresponding to a preselection of centers of interest (2) established by a calculator (3) by analysis of the profile (1) of the user and extraction of thematic information correlated with said profile. These potential centers of interest are transmitted in the form of an HTML file of the input form type, for selection of a personal subset. This selection can be done in a binary way, for example in the form of radio buttons making it possible to enter information of the "yes / no" type, or even quantitatively, by entering an indicator of a level of interest. (Of type

  very interested / moderately interested / not interested).

  This selection is then transmitted to the server which will create, via the computer (3) a database (4) containing the links to a selection of sites (5) corresponding to said personal subset. The user will then access the identified sites from a database which is personal to him or which is common to a community to which he belongs. This database can be local, for example installed on his computer, or remote on the server

implementing the method.
