  • Patent number: 8176029
    Abstract: A composite display method and system for a search engine of same resource information based on the degree of attention. The search engine finds all the target stations that correspond to some conditions as original results. The original results are combined to a title search result depending on the content, quality, and information of a user, etc. The title search result is displayed on the browser of the user as a search result, and can be expanded when being viewed. The system uses a statistic server and network browser, and all operations of user are converted into the degree of attention for the web pages. The grade value for the degree of attention is sent to the statistic server as the standard of arrangement for the presentation of content and quality. Another method capable of judging the status of the user automatically and providing the suitable web page is also disclosed.
