Patent number: 10628847Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced advertising using semantic search are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of identifying a semantic group with which content of a search result relates, further determining a facet of the semantic group with which the content of the search result relates, identifying an advertisement based on the facet of the semantic group, assigning an index to the advertisement as being associated with the facet of the semantic group, storing the index of the advertisement in a machine-readable storage medium, and/or presenting the advertisement to the user for viewing in a user interface in conjunction with the search result.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2010Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: FIVER LLCInventors: James M.

Publication number: 20170154118Abstract: Systems and methods for search and search optimization using a pattern in a location identifier is disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of search and search optimization. The method includes, detecting a set of location identifiers that have a pattern that matches a specified pattern and identifying a set of search results as having content related to the semantic type. The specified pattern can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium and corresponds to a semantic type. The set of search results can include objects associated with the set of location identifiers having the specified pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2017Publication date: June 1, 2017Inventors: James M.

Patent number: 9613149Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic mapping of a location identifier pattern of an object to a semantic type using object metadata are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of identifying a set of tags associated with a website that is hosted by a web server. The method further includes, detecting a web page in the website in which a tag of the set of tags is identified, extracting a pattern from a Universal Resource Locator (URL) of the web page, and/or storing the pattern in a database embodied in a machine-readable storage medium as being mapped to the semantic type. The tag corresponds to a semantic type with which the content embodied in the web page has a semantic relationship and the pattern corresponds to the semantic type with which the content embodied in the web page has a semantic relationship.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2012Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: VCVC III LLCInventors: Nova T.

Patent number: 9189479Abstract: An application that enables users to effectively utilize and manage knowledge and data the user posses and allows other users to effectively and seamlessly benefit from the user's knowledge and data over a computer network is also disclosed. A method of processing content created by a user utilizing a semantic, ontology-driven portal on a computer network is described. The semantic portal application provides the user with a content base, such as a semantic form or meta-form, for creating a semantic posting. The semantic portal utilizes a knowledge data structure, such as a taxonomy or ontology, in preparing a semantic posting based on the information provided by the user via the content base. The semantic portal application prepares a preview of a semantic posting for evaluation by the user. The semantic posting is then either modified by the user or accepted and posted by the user for external parties to view.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: VCVC III LLCInventors: Nova T. Spivack, Kristinn R. Thorisson, James M. Wissner

Publication number: 20150248496Abstract: Systems and methods for generating user-customized search results and building a semantics-enhanced search engine are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of generating user-customized search results using user-defined semantic types. The method includes, identifying a first set of URI patterns that are associated with a first set of semantic types defined by a first user, storing the first set of URI patterns in a database embodied in a computer-readable storage medium, and/or semantically categorizing a first set of search results for the first user, as having content related to one or more of the first set of semantic types defined by the first user. The first set of search results can be categorized using the first set of URI patterns.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2015Publication date: September 3, 2015Inventors: James M. Wissner, Nova T.
