  • Patent number: 9946788
    Abstract: A method for automated mapping of key terms to documents. Preferably a feature vector is generated for the key terms. Preferably such feature vectors are automatically generated by analyzing a corpus, but may optionally be generated manually, or using a combination of automated and manual processes. Next, preferably such feature vectors are weighted. Such weighting may optionally be performed manually, but more preferably is performed automatically. Next, a feature vector is optionally and preferably generated for the document, which preferably includes words and phrases that were extracted from the document but may optionally include words and phrases that do not appear in the document, such as synonyms and related. Each element in the document feature vector is preferably weighted. The feature vectors of the key terms and the feature vectors of the documents are compared, in order to produce relevancy scores, which are used to produce mapping between documents and key terms.

  • Publication number: 20100057566
    Abstract: A system and method for providing advertisements in a web page including transmitting a message or advertisement including a sequence of a plurality of layers to the web page, each sequential layer being displayed in response to a user selection of the preceding layer. A client may be charged a fee for the advertisement when the user selects a predetermined number of sequential layers. The client may be charged a fee for the advertisement when the user selects a last one of the sequence of the plurality of layers to click through to the client web site. A user computer may send an advertisement server data relating to the web site content and the advertisement server may send the user computer advertisements related to the web site content.

  • Publication number: 20050267872
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for automated mapping of advertisements to web pages. It provides the ability to provide target advertising and it provides the ability to sell key terms related to a particular advertisement. The invention also provides the ability to suggest key terms to potential purchasers based upon a content of the advertisement or based upon some other related information provided by the purchaser. The present invention also provides the ability to map the advertisements based on categories of semantically unrelated words and phrases. The method for mapping the advertisement to the web page includes analyzing the web page to determine its content. The content is then compared to a list of key terms. If the comparison results in a match and the match includes a key term, which has been purchased by an advertiser, that advertiser's advertisement may be mapped to the web page.

  • Publication number: 20040172389
    Abstract: A system and a method for automatically submitting Web pages to a search engine, which is preferably used for sub-mitting dynamic Web pages, but may optionally be used for any type of Web page. According to the present invention, an embedded object is inserted into the Web page, which causes the URL of that Web page to be automatically sent to a Web server when that Web page is loaded by a Web browser. The Web server can then optionally automatically send the received URLs to the search engine, or alternatively, the autonomous software search program could retrieve the received URLs from the Web server. The embedded object itself is preferably inserted as code which is suitable for execution according to a Web-based protocol, such as by a Web browser and/or Web server, for example. There is also provided a system and a method for converting each URL or other Web page address into a normalized form.
