Abstract: Information is obtained from the Internet is combined with processed and rated information from social networking services by a structured and social data aggregator providing highly relevant search results. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a product information crawler, which crawls the Internet in search of web pages relevant to a requested subject or product. The product information crawler conveys captured web pages to a structured data extractor, which extracts product information. A social networking crawler crawls social networking services in search of social network information to the requested subject or product. The processed product information and processed social network information is conveyed to an information aggregator, which merges the information and stores it in a data store that can be queried by a user.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing a browser based information extraction and transmission method. A method and system for identifying, extracting, and transmitting predefined structured information from web pages browser interface. The extracted information is then added to a user profile on a social network and a database. The information is shared with other users who can comment, copy, vote on, or go to the original information source. The information can be combined with other extracted information to form collections for the purposes of voting on one or more items in the collection, combining multiple items to form a useful kit, saving information for later use, adding addition information such as dates and purchase location for personal inventory purposes, and for saving bookmarks to structured data.

Abstract: The present invention facilitates product searches on a personal computer, mobile or other device from remote sites via widget lookup using a computed image signature and optional product information extracted using a template in order to retrieve a list of the same or similar products available at other sites. The search starts with a widget lookup process, followed by the submission of the product image URL, optional product information extracted using a site specific product information template and information from HTML attributes to a server. The image signature is computed, a lookup based on the image signature and product information is executed and a product list with an image, price and link to each retailer where the product can be found is returned. The list is reduced based on the submitted image, optional product template and attribute information. The server sends the product list to the user's browser for display.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method which users can use to identify data base elements in a web page, store the extraction template representing the location and type of elements on the page, extract and store the product record in their collection, use the extraction template to automatically extract all the data from the web site and constantly check the extraction templates for correctness and update the extraction templates if necessary. Additionally, the present invention system provides crowd sourced web page data record extraction template creation to build a database of web page extraction templates which could then be used by others to extract the information from the web pages at the site where the extraction template(s) were created, and to save the information to a social network. Moreover, crowd based web page data record extraction template creation and storage system can be used to create extraction templates for batch extraction of information from remote web sites.

Abstract: Automatically extracting information that matches a predetermined criterion from one or more web pages at one or more web sites and automatically producing one or more extracted data-field names from the information extracted from the one or more web pages at the one or more web sites. The extracted information includes at least one extracted data-field value associated with one of the one or more extracted data-field names. If one of the extracted data-field names matches an existing data-field name in a previously constructed data base including one or more data fields each associated with a data-field name and a data-field value, the method updates an extracted data-field value associated with the data-field name in the data base. If one of the extracted data field names does not match any of the existing data-field names in the data base, the method adds the extracted data-field name to the data base.

Abstract: A reservation station includes a memory array in which micro-operations are stored at entry locations with an age representing a temporal ordering. Control circuitry resets the age of a new micro-operation, and increments the ages of previously stored micro-operations, when an entry is written into the array. Wired-OR circuitry is utilized to find the oldest age within the memory array, which is then broadcast through the array to generate a priority pointer that identifies a group of entries which contain an entry with the oldest age. Scheduling logic selects a ready entry in the group for dispatch to a port of the execution unit.
