Abstract: Development using the JavaScript programming language can be limited since JavaScript code is interpreted. Compiling code at a client may interfere with the dynamicity and portability of web pages. Dynamicity and portability of web pages can be preserved while providing the features of a compiled programming language. A compiled programming language code can be embedded within an interpreted programming language code. The embedded compiled programming language code can be extracted and compiled with resources of a server to deliver the robustness and flexibility of the compiled programming language without burdening a client with compiling.

Abstract: Generating and displaying an enhanced list of search results appropriate for web searching are described. A method for generating an enhanced list of search results includes identifying web pages that are relevant to a query, identifying other web pages hyperlinked to the relevant web pages, creating a graph of the web pages and connecting hyperlinks, and displaying a list of search results ordered in part by the connecting hyperlinks and showing the connecting hyperlinks as part of the list. The method also includes the ability to regenerate the list based on an indication of subjective relevance of a one of the list items. The method enhances the experience of a user in World Wide Web searching and browsing.

Abstract: A host-based seed selection process considers factors such as quality, importance and potential yield of hosts in a decision to use a document of a host as a seed. A subset of a plurality of hosts is determined, including some but not all of the plurality of the hosts, according to an indication of importance of the hosts, according to an expected yield of new documents for the hosts, and according to preferences for the markets the hosts belong to. At least one seed is generated for each host of the determined subset of hosts, wherein each generated at least one seed includes an indication of a document in the linked database of documents. The generated seeds are provided to be accessible by a database crawler.

Abstract: Methods and systems that label a web page collect a set of inbound labels for the web page, estimate a language model for the web page, compute the likelihood of generating each inbound label given the language model and assign a score to each inbound label based on this likelihood, and assign a label to the web page based on the score assigned to each of the set of inbound labels. Inbound labels are preferably collected from the set of web documents linking to the web page. Labels assigned are useful in providing labeled links to web pages from top hosts in search result pages.

Abstract: An Internet infrastructure contains a search server that delivers search result pages of search results or web sites to client devices based upon a search string. The search results provided to the user take into account prior search terms entered by the user, and may take into account user interaction (or lack thereof) with prior search results as well as additional information other than just the search string and popularity ranking of web pages on the Internet. Specifically, a web browser contained in the client devices displays a first set of search result pages of web sites delivered by the search server in response to a search string. Then, in response to a modified search string and/or monitored and processed user interaction with prior search results, the search server delivers a second set of search result pages, comprising more relevant search information.

Abstract: A method is provided to match an advertisement to a search query comprising: receiving search results produced by a search engine in response to a search query; producing an ad query that includes, unigram features, classification features with respect to an external classification system, and phrase features; producing a plurality of representations of corresponding advertisements in terms of the same types of features; and selecting one or more advertisements based upon a measure of similarity of ad query features to advertisements represented in terms of the same features.

Abstract: A system allowing a user of a browser program on a computer connected to an open distributed hypermedia system to access and execute an embedded program object. The program object is embedded into a hypermedia document much like data objects. The user may select the program object from the screen. Once selected the program object executes on the user's (client) computer or may execute on a remote server or additional remote computers in a distributed processing arrangement. After launching the program object, the user is able to interact with the object as the invention provides for ongoing interprocess communication between the application object (program) and the browser program. One application of the embedded program object allows a user to view large and complex multi-dimensional objects from within the browser's window. The user can manipulate a control panel to change the viewpoint used to view the image.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that may be used to characterize in some manner the performance that a user may experience when accessing a web document. An exemplary method may include accessing at least one performance characteristic associated with at least a portion of a computing environment adapted for sharing at least one web document, and establishing user experience information associated with the web document based, at least in part, on the performance characteristic.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining a suitability for a mobile client to display information are disclosed. A particular exemplary method includes receiving a plurality of sets of one or more first keywords on a mobile client, each set of first keywords associated with one or more respective first messages, monitoring user interaction of the respective first messages on the mobile client, determining a user selection rate for each unique first keyword of the plurality of sets of first keywords, receiving a set of target keywords associated with a target message, performing one or more matching operations between the set of target keywords and corresponding user selection rates to produce a set of one or more matching parameters, and displaying the target message on the mobile client dependent upon the matching parameters.

Periodic retrieval of event data by the refresh frame uses the same network connection used to download the refresh frame from a server.

Abstract: System, method and program product determine redirection of a Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) sent by a web browser to an application. A first URL is sent to the application, and in response, a first web page is received from the application. A second URL is created by appending one or more characters to the first URL. The second URL is unrecognizable by the application. A request for the second URL is sent to the application, and in response, a second web page is received. The content of the second web page is compared to the content of the first web page. If the content of the second web page matches the content of the first web page, a record is made indicating that the first web page is a redirected web page.

Abstract: A web page prefetching apparatus and method for efficiently prefetching a web page using link class information indicating preference of client devices for links contained in a web page. A client device includes a user input unit receiving a user input signal for a web page request; a controller receiving a first web page provided by a first web server based on a user input signal requesting the first web page, requesting a second web page provided by a second web server from the second web server, which is determined based on link class information indicating the preference of client devices for links contained in the first web page, without a user input signal, and receiving the second web page from the second web server; and a storage unit storing the second web page. Accordingly, since the reliability and efficiency of prefetching can be increased, prefetched web pages can be quickly provided to a user.
