US Classification:
707 3
Abstract:
A system that employs an explicitly and/or implicitly trained model in order to return entity-specific computer-based search results is provided. The innovation can provide for a customized search model that focuses search in connection with achieving information that is meaningful with respect to goals of an entity. The model can be used to modify a search query in accordance with a goal of the entity or to generate the search query thereby returning meaningful and/or targeted results to the user. The system can automatically gather entity-related data thereafter determining or inferring a goal as well as training the model. Moreover, the system can selectively configure (e.g., order, rank, filter) and render results to a user based upon the model.

US Classification:
7071041, 707E17107
Abstract:
A method embodiment includes receiving data indicative of a person accessing at least one of a first network-available electronic content or a second network-available electronic content. Also, receiving data indicative of an involvement with respect to possible matters of interest between the person and a third-party. The involvement being independent of the person activating a link to a site owned by the third-party that is included in the first network-available electronic content or in the second network available electronic content. Further, assessing a behavioral influence by the first network-available electronic content and/or the second network-available electronic content on the indicated involvement with respect to the possible matters of interest between the person and a third-party. Also, facilitating delivery of a benefit to an owner of the first network-available electronic content and/or an owner of the second network-available electronic content in response to the assessed behavioral influence.

US Classification:
709229
Abstract:
Embodiments include a system, a device, an apparatus, a method, and a computer program product. A method includes assessing a behavioral influence with respect to possible matters of interest to other parties including a third-party by network-available content on a person accessing the network-available content. The method also includes generating a user influence report responsive to the assessed behavioral influence. At least one characteristic of the user influence report includes differentiating between (i) a behavioral influence on the person resulting from the person activating a link included in the network-available content to another network-available content owned by the third-party, and (ii) another behavioral influence on the person. The method further includes transmitting information derived from the user influence report.

International Classification:
G06Q 30/00
US Classification:
705 1443
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer-accessible medium are provided for optimizing search result listings in a search engine user interface. The system and method provide an automated way of promoting and demoting the placement of a search result listing between more or less desirable locations, based on the listing's performance in a given placement. Promoting and demoting placements is based on a threshold performance for the listing against which the actual performance of a listing is measured. The threshold performance may be advantageously varied to accommodate different revenue and relevance goals for a particular search engine or portion of the search engine's market.
