  • Publication number: 20070073599
    Abstract: A method and system is provided that in a fully automated manner updates a database system containing product-related information in an automated comparative shopping system. An exemplary method according to the invention is a method that updates a database by extracting first product-related information about a product from a merchant web page, normalizing the first product-related information into first records, and storing the first records in a database system on a recording-medium on a server. Second product-related information about the product from the merchant web page is then extracted and transferred to the server. The second product-related information is normalized into second record. The second records are compared with the first records to determine which are most current, and the first records are updated to reflect the product-related information in the second records if the second records are more current than the first records.

  • Publication number: 20070073641
    Abstract: A method and system is provided that in a fully automated manner improves the results of online or network-based search. An exemplary method according to the invention is a method for improving search results by first receiving a search query containing one or more query terms from a user, and comparing the query terms to a database system program on a first computer-readable medium on a first computer containing product titles for products available on merchant web sites. One or more product titles that most closely match the query terms are retrieved from the database system program, and information about the browsing behavior of the user is obtained from a program on a second computer-readable medium on a second computer configured to track the browsing behavior of the user. The relevance of the product titles or other results of the search query are ranked based in part on the available information about the browsing behavior of the user.

  • Publication number: 20060085373
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include an information sharing system that provides an online business service from a provider that uses the Internet to enable individuals and organizations to link together contact databases that reside in multiple desktop applications and create a unified meta-database. This database can be searched by individual subscribers in order to locate a specific entity (such as an organization or a person, by name, title or organization, such as an executive in a target organization), identify if a path to the executive exists through a chain of contacts across the linked contact databases, and request a referral based introduction to the specific executive.
