- TITLE Method and system for selecting on request one or more sources of information available from a communications network.
- the invention relates to a method and a system for selecting on request one or more sources of information available from a communication network, as well as a software product recorded on a medium usable in a digital processing device and intended for the implementation of such a method.
- the invention can also be applied to any other type of communication network from which different sources of information are accessible.
- search engine which allow to provide a user with a list of links to sources of information such as, for example, sites, pages of data or others.
- search engines operate from a central server which constantly scans the data available on the world wide web. It uses one or more initial pages for this and explores the data found by jumping from page to page according to the links existing in the pages found.
- the aim of the present invention is to propose a method and a system for selecting on request one or more sources of information available from a communication network such as, in particular, the world wide web, as well as a product.
- software recorded on a medium usable in a digital processing device and intended for the implementation of such a method, which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks and makes it possible to personalize the responses to the requests.
- Another object of the present invention is to propose a method and a system for selecting on request one or more sources of information available from a communication network such as, in particular, the world wide web as well as a product.
- software recorded on a medium usable in a digital processing device and intended for the implementation of said method, the reliability of which is improved.
- Another object of the present invention is to propose a method and a system for selecting on request one or more sources of information available from a communication network, such as, in particular the world wide web as well as a product.
- a communication network such as, in particular the world wide web as well as a product.
- software recorded on a medium usable in a digital processing device and intended for the implementation of such a method, which facilitate the indexing of information sources.
- the invention firstly relates to a method of selecting on request one or more sources of information available from a communication network, such as, in particular, the world wide web, method in which:
- a contact base consisting of a list of identification addresses on the network, called network addresses, of at least some of said users and, for at least part of said set of users, a resource base, consisting of one or more lists of means of access to said sources of information,
- each request is broadcast iteratively from the user (s) it reaches to all or part of the users of their contact database, called consulted users,
- the invention also relates to a software product recorded on a medium usable in a digital processing device and intended for the implementation of the method described above, said product comprising:
- the invention also relates to a system for implementing the method described above, comprising a plurality of digital processing devices loaded with the previously mentioned software product and defining a set of users of said network.
- FIG. 1 describes in the form of a functional block an embodiment of the software product in accordance with the invention
- FIG. 2 schematically describes an example of implementation of the method and the system of selection on request of one or more sources of information, in accordance with the invention using the software product of FIG. 1.
- the invention firstly relates to a method of selecting on request one or more sources of information available from a communication network. It could be, for example, the world wide web.
- a set of users 1 of said network is provided, for each of them, with a contact base 2, consisting of a list of identification addresses on the network, said network addresses 3, of at least some of said users and, for at least some of the users of said set of users, of a resource base 4, consisting of one or more lists of means of access 5 to said sources information.
- Said sources of information consist, for example, of data in the form of sites, pages or the like 6, in particular identified by their URL.
- the access means 5 consist for example, of at least links 7 to said data, that is to say, instructions allowing access to these data by their URL.
- Said resource base thus comprises inter alia a link base 8.
- the sources of information 6 accessible from the links 7 appearing in said link base 8 are, at least for a part of them, distant, that is to say being located at a point different from the network of that of the user who owns the link database. They can also be distributed to several points on the network, as shown in Figure 2.
- Said sources of information could also be the users themselves and the resource base 4 possibly includes, as means of access 5, at least the network address 3 U of the user owner of said resource base 4 . It will thus be possible to include in response 19 to the request, in particular, lists of links and / or lists of network addresses, that is to say, of users.
- each request symbolized by the arrows marked 11
- the user (s) 1b which it reaches to all or part of the users 1c of their contact base, said consulted users, and at least said resource base of each consulted user 1b , 1c is used , when he has one, as symbolized by the arrows identified 12, to respond to the request.
- the search task is thus distributed to each user and it is no longer necessary to call on a centralized server, which eliminates the associated problems.
- the responses to the requests are personalized, the operation of the search is made reliable, and the indexing of the sources of information is facilitated thanks to the mechanism of dissemination of the requests and the distribution of knowledge at the level of each user.
- the resource base 4 by being made up of lists of means of access to sources of information, possibly remote, makes it possible to have not only local information but also information external to each of users consulted and even external to said sets of users, without their own memory being overloaded and taking advantage of their experience.
- the answers are provided, for example, in the form of a list of access means selected according to the request.
- the users consulted 1 b , 1 c can be informed of the knowledge of user 1 a at the origin of the request.
- the response is sent to user 1 a at the origin of the request, for example, by part from each user 1 b , 1 c consulted, as symbolized by the arrows illustrated in dotted lines 13.
- the own database resources of user 1 at the origin of the request can also be used for the response.
- a request is broadcast, in particular, according to a given number of iterations after which it stops, regardless of the number of responses.
- each of the users will be assigned a profile 14 characterizing it, for example, by their centers of interest and / or their socio-professional profile.
- Said profile 14 is located, for example, at its user address 34.
- the request may moreover be made to broadcast the request only through the users consulted whose profile corresponds.
- each selection means 7 a list of '' one or more keywords, called label 15, characterizing the information source associated.
- label 15 comprises, for example, keywords describing the content of the corresponding data.
- said label 15 corresponds, in particular to its profile 14 which therefore also appears in the form of 'a list of keywords.
- the resource base 4 of the users is exploited by comparison of the keywords of the request and the keywords of said labels 15 and / or profile 14 to sort the access means 5 selected. .
- each keyword of said labels 15 and / or profile 14 can also assign to each keyword of said labels 15 and / or profile 14 an index characterizing its importance in the source of associated information and present in response to the request a list of access means 5 classified according to the indices of their keywords. It will also be possible to provide each network address 3 with the contact base of the profile 14 of the associated user and organize a display of said contact base as a function of the indices of their keywords, for selected keywords.
- users or users having received a response to the request are allowed to enrich at least their contact base and / or their resource base from the results of the said request. He can thus keep track of the information acquired and accumulate his experience.
- said user is allowed to insert into his resource base 4 all or part of the access means 5, in particular links 7, appearing in the response and / or to insert into his contact base 2 all or part network addresses 3 may also appear in the response.
- the list of network addresses inserted in contact base 2 can result from a sorting carried out according to the profile of the users consulted. For this, we list in the response to the request the list of network addresses of the users consulted whose profile corresponds to the request and, after receipt of the response by the user, they are asked to add the selected list to their contact database. There is no longer any need to carry out manual sorting and the updating of the contact base is adapted to the user.
- the updating of the resource base and more particularly of the link base 8, it may be carried out according to the content of the labels 15 of the links found.
- the same person may be offered several user entities, each with their own contact base, their own resource base and / or their own profile and having a new network address.
- a user's network address may consist of an identifier (ID) comprising his physical address on the network
- IP possibly supplemented by additional means of identification making it possible to distinguish several users working from the same physical address.
- said profile 14 it will also be possible to allow said user to send a message to a selected part of the other users by successive broadcasts of said message, the selection being made according to the profile of the users consulted.
- Such messages are thus broadcast in the same way as a request, without however using the resource base of the users consulted and without return of response.
- messages are sent to groups of recipients not specified by their address but by their profile.
- Such lists are used, for example, when a new user arrives in said set of users.
- a user arriving among all the users will be able to request that a contact base corresponding to users having the same centers of interest be downloaded from the server. He will thus be able to distribute his requests using said contact database and then create and expand his resource base as and when required based on the information obtained. He can also get in touch by messaging with the users who will interest him according to the information collected, the choice of these users being made according to their profile. In parallel, the profile of this user will be created and will evolve according to his contact base and / or his resource base, or even manually.
- the central server will be possible to export, for example periodically, to the central server the resource databases and / or the contact databases of each user, in particular after their agreement. It may be the same for their profile. This allows users to make backup copies. Libraries are also updated. In this way, the central server is avoided any indexing task. It will also be possible to constitute at the central server level a contact base and a link base made accessible to users and merging their contact base and their own link base.
- the central server may be supplied with links from other search engines.
- each newly arrived user among all of said users if he himself had links beforehand, may integrate them among the link database of his resource base.
- the central server it is possible to establish the list of users including access means 5 to a said source of information 6 given in their resource base. We can thus warn said users of a possible update of said access means 5, for example through the central server, this from the moment when it has been informed of the new address to which the means of updated access 5 must be directed, which can be done on the initiative of any of the users.
- the lists of users available in the central server may also be used, if they agree, to provide the sources of information concerned with general information on the population which consults them, in particular taken from the profiles of the users.
- the central server can also be used to keep in memory the requests to which some of the users consulted have not responded because they were absent from the network and to re-issue these requests to complete the interrogation.
- the invention also relates to a software product recorded on a medium usable in a digital processing device and intended for the implementation of the method described above.
- Said software product comprises means 16 for providing a user connected to a digital communication network by said processing device, with a contact base 2, consisting of a list of the network addresses of users of said network and a base resource 4, consisting of one or more lists of means of access to sources of information available from said network.
- Said software product also comprises means 17 for broadcasting a request from said user to all or part of the users of its contact base as well as means 18 for exploiting its resource base, in order to respond to the request.
- Said software product may also include, possibly, means for ensuring the various embodiments of the method mentioned above, not involving the central server. This will involve means, for example, in connection with the exploitation of its resource base, issuing requests and receiving responses, providing information on the dissemination of requests, reformulating them. ci, assigning a profile to the user and the different uses of said profile, updating contact databases, resource databases and / or said profile, carrying out messaging-type exchanges and / or tests of the means of access and signaling of those which have become ineffective
- the invention also relates to a system for implementing the method described above. It therefore includes a plurality of digital processing devices responsible for the software product mentioned above and defining between them a set of network users.
- Said digital processing devices consist, for example, of a microcomputer. It may also be, in particular, digital portable telephones.
- said product is for example registered on a floppy disk and / or in the memory of a central server in order to be downloaded.
- Said central server may present the various functionalities already indicated, such as, in particular, the supply of contact databases, resource databases, and / or profiles, updating these by downloading each of the databases.
- users the maintenance of lists of users presenting the same source of information among their resource bases and the diffusion of messages on the possible update of means of access.
