  • Publication number: 20080186854
    Abstract: A telecommunications network comprises a plurality of network terminations interconnected through the network, each network termination being connectable to network termination equipment configurable for the input or output of data communicated between the terminations over the network. The data collection and generation equipment is controlled by a central server to generate data required for the monitoring of this performance, such as latency in a connection between two of the terminations. This server has configuration means for controlling a data retrieval means and data processing means to generate the outputs required of it, and is associated with a data storage means comprising means to store data relating to the arrangement of the network and the network terminations. The configuration means identifies, from the network data store, the network terminations required to perform the data collection required and transmits instructions to them to generate this data.

  • Publication number: 20080154887
    Abstract: A method (50) of providing an Internet search results list in response to an Internet keywords search request is disclosed. The method (50) starts by receiving (60) a list of keywords, a list of web pages associated with the keywords in the list of keywords, and quality factors associated with keyword-web page combinations. The quality factors are determined from user activities in response to a site specific search request. An Internet keywords search request is next received (62). A listing of web pages associated with keywords in the Internet keywords search request is then retrieved (64). The web pages in the listing are ranked (66) based upon associated quality factors to produce a ranked listing. Finally, the ranked listing is provided (68) in response to the Internet keywords search request. A method (10) is disclosed of recording an association between web pages of a web site and keywords.
