  • This problem arises in part from the difficulty that existing Internet search engines have with prioritizing and categorizing documents stored on the World Wide Web. For example, one known technique for categorizing information on the

Accordingly, the personal bookmarks of a user represent a small database of indexed Internet content. By combining these small databases in a central repository, a large well-indexed database of web content is achieved.

Abstract

Les systèmes et procédés de l'invention sont des dispositifs améliorés qui permettent d'identifier un contenu pertinent sur Internet. Ces dispositifs comprennent généralement deux éléments. Le premier élément est un système qui permet aux utilisateurs de construire une base de données collective en ligne renfermant des signets, chaque signet représentant une ressource, telle qu'une page, un script, un fichier média, ou un site web entretenu sur Internet. Le second élément est un mécanisme de recherche qui permet à un utilisateur de saisir une requête, telle qu'une chaîne de recherche, et qui compare la chaîne de recherche avec les informations d'une base de données en ligne contenant des signets, afin d'identifier des signets d'intérêt appartenant à d'autres utilisateurs du service. Les signets d'intérêt peuvent être retournés à l'utilisateur comme résultats de sa requête, et l'utilisateur est donc nanti de cette partie du contenu d'Internet dont d'autres utilisateurs ont estimé qu'elles contient des informations pertinentes se rapportant à la requête entrée par l'utilisateur.
