20090006179 | Economic optimization for product search relevancy - In one embodiment, a method is illustrated as including defining a set of perspective objects capable of being placed onto a modified web page, monitoring parameters of a web page, the parameters including a number of times a current object is executed on the web page, using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to determine a perspective object with a preferred Return On Investment (ROI), and selecting the perspective object to be placed onto the modified web page. | 01-01-2009 |
20090012991 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION TAGGING IN A NETWORKED SYSTEM - A computer-implemented system and method for providing information tagging in a networked system is disclosed. The apparatus in an example embodiment includes a tag engine configured to process a database of categorized product listings; to receive a user-provided tag associated with at least one of the product listings; to retain the user-provided tag; and to serve the user-provided tag to a user viewing at least one of the product listings. | 01-08-2009 |
20090292584 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTEXT AND COMMUNITY BASED CUSTOMIZATION FOR A USER EXPERIENCE - A system and method for context and community based customization for a user experience is disclosed. The apparatus in an example embodiment includes a user experience customizer to gather context information, automatically produce user experience customization selections based on the context information, collect user activity feedback from a community of users, and use the user activity feedback to adjust the user experience customizer to automatically produce user experience customization selections likely favored by a user based on a correlation of the user activity feedback with the context information. | 11-26-2009 |
20100169341 | PREDICTIVE ALGORITHM FOR SEARCH BOX AUTO-COMPLETE - In various exemplary embodiments, a system and associated method to predict search results in an electronic environment is disclosed. The system architecture comprises a communications module to receive a query from a remote end-user where the query includes one or more characters contained within a first single communications packet. A query engine is coupled to the communications module. The query engine uses the one or more characters from the query to predictively match keywords contained within a data structure (e.g., a database) and forms a response from the one or more characters. The response is transmitted back to the end-user within a second single TCP communications packet. | 07-01-2010 |
20100250524 | RANKING ALGORITHM FOR SEARCH BOX AUTO-COMPLETE - In various exemplary embodiments, a system and associated method for prioritizing search results in an electronic environment is disclosed. The system comprises a communications module to receive a search query from an end-user. The search query includes one or more characters contained within a single TCP packet. A query engine coupled to the communications module matched the one or more characters from the search query against a plurality of selected keywords contained within a database against the search query. Each keyword is then ranked within the plurality of selected keywords thus forming a subset of selected keywords. A response including the subset of selected keywords is returned to the end-user. | 09-30-2010 |
20100332539 | PRESENTING A RELATED ITEM USING A CLUSTER - An initial item is grouped into a cluster defined by a query expression applied to a description of the item. Given the initial item, its associated cluster is accessed, and another item is identified based on the initial item's cluster or from a cluster designated as similar to the initial item's cluster. Once identified, the other item is presented as related to the initial item. | 12-30-2010 |
20110106729 | ECONOMIC OPTIMIZATION FOR PRODUCT SEARCH RELEVANCY - In one embodiment, a method is illustrated as including defining a set of perspective objects capable of being placed onto a modified web page, monitoring parameters of a web page, the parameters including a number of times a current object is executed on the web page, using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to determine a perspective object with a preferred Return On Investment (ROI), and selecting the perspective object to be placed onto the modified web page. | 05-05-2011 |
20130086034 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO PROCESS A DATA SEARCH REQUEST - Example systems and methods of processing a data search request are presented. In one example, a data search request including a plurality of constraints is received. Each of the plurality of constraints is of one of a plurality of constraint types. At least one of the plurality of constraints of a first constraint type is expanded to one or more constraints of at least one other constraint type. A plurality of search definitions is formulated utilizing the plurality of constraints. Each of the plurality of search definitions includes a unique constraint set excluding at least one of the plurality of constraints. A plurality of searches is performed using the plurality of search definitions to generate a plurality of search results. Data item counts corresponding to the search definitions are calculated. The data item counts and the corresponding search definitions are communicated to a client machine. | 04-04-2013 |
20130132824 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTEXT AND COMMUNITY BASED CUSTOMIZATION FOR A USER EXPERIENCE - A system and method for context and community based customization for a user experience is disclosed. The apparatus in an example embodiment includes a user experience customizer to gather context information, automatically produce user experience customization selections based on the context information, collect user activity feedback from a community of users, and use the user activity feedback to adjust the user experience customizer to automatically produce user experience customization selections likely favored by a user based on a correlation of the user activity feedback with the context information. | 05-23-2013 |
20140214817 | RANKING ALGORITHM FOR SEARCH OUERIES - In various embodiments, a method of prioritizing search results in an electronic environment is disclosed. The method includes selecting a plurality of equivalent keywords responsive to a search query from an end-user, determining a rank of each of the plurality of equivalent keywords, selecting a plurality of most highly ranked keywords from the plurality of equivalent keywords, and preparing a response including the plurality of most highly ranked keywords. | 07-31-2014 |
