Description

Annotation aggregation and delivery system and method in the document page

The present invention generally relates to displaying information relating to a given word. More specifically (and without limitation), the present invention relates to aggregating and extending user annotations on a particular object in a page module of a document page to a contextual module. User annotations in different page modules are aggregated based on the contextual relationship between the content of the user annotation and the content of the page module.

The computing industry has made a lot of progress in recent years, and such progress has produced most products and services. An Internet site is an example of a product and service that establishes access to a particular type of service, profile, or search capability. At this stage, websites can be easily established by most individuals who want to post information or provide access or connection to other materials. The website can also be created, updated, and supported to provide regular updates on current events, news and other information. This information is highly manageable and manageable so that it can be presented to devices that can be easily displayed in a web browser or connected to other internet sites.

Now, however, traditional websites provide most of the unstructured and contextually unrelated information to a user. For example, when searching for a sentence, the resulting web page basically shows a lot of links to external websites. The links to these external websites that are substantially selected for display on the web page are based on the phrase matching criteria, without regard to user interaction and/or contextual relationship with the search phrase. Typically, the user is forced to visit and find many external websites related to the chain of more information about the search phrase. In addition, users who interface with a particular website may want to know the narrative or communication on the relevant website. However, current communication or interactivity with a given website is limited to sharing information or annotations with a single location user. Therefore, users or visitors to the website do not know the annotations or information expressed on some websites, and the knowledge of such information may be relevant.

Particular embodiments of the invention are within this context.

Broadly speaking, the present invention achieves these needs by providing a system and method for contextually related to the content of a web page. Thus, for example, if the second page has a contextual association with the subject of the user annotation of the first page, the user annotation of an object in the first page will continue to the second page in a website. A particular embodiment of the present invention allows a user to express an opinion about the displayed content by entering an annotation of the object in the display content or in the web page. The user annotations are stored in permanent storage at the near or far end of a centrally associated database. In another embodiment, a combination of different types of data storage, such as an associated database, an object database, an active directory server, an LDAP server, etc., can be stored for user annotation.

In one embodiment, a method of computer implementation for managing annotation data generated when interacting with a page module is disclosed. When interacting with the page module, at least one annotation data expressed by a user is detected and analyzed to identify the context of the annotation data. If the annotation data is identified as being associated with a context, the contextual association is used to mark the annotation data, and if the annotation data is not related to a context, then only the page module is maintained to be associated with the annotation material. The annotation data is then implanted in other page modules identified as having a contextual association with the annotation material. The implant enables presentation of annotation material to be generated on the page module to be displayed on one or more page modules having contextual associations.

In another embodiment, it is a computer implementation method that discloses an aggregation and continuation of annotations in a page module. In this embodiment, a user is allowed to enter an annotation on an object in the page module. Based on the context of the input annotation, the context-sensitive page module is identifiable. The input annotation is associated with the page module that inputs the annotation. The input annotation is also associated with at least one associated page module. The association or relationship between the input annotation and the page module (the annotations have been entered) is stored in an associative database. The association or relationship between the input annotation and the context-sensitive page module is also stored in an associated database.

In still another embodiment, a computer implementation method for allowing a user to add an annotation to a selected portion of a visual object in a page module is disclosed. In this embodiment, a user is caused to mark a selected portion of a visual object in the page module. The user is then caused to add the annotation to the selected portion of the visual object in the page module. An internal identification of the selected portion is generated. The internal identification includes the identification of the page module in which the selected object is present. The internal identification of the selected portion is then associated with the input annotation.

There are a number of advantages of the present invention. Most particularly, the systems and devices described herein provide for a better integration of different content in the website and increase user interaction with the website. The most recent context-sensitive user annotations are aggregated on such web pages, which are contextually related to user annotations entered anywhere in the website. User annotations entered in a web page are extended to other web pages based on contextual relationships, thus providing seamless integration of different web content in the website.

Other aspects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and appended claims.

The present invention discloses a system and apparatus for aggregating and continuing user annotations on a document page content. The user annotation is aggregated and extended based on the context of the different page modules and the context of the user annotation. The user interacts with a page module in a "document page" and enters a user annotation on the page module or on an object, such as a photo in the page module, or a selection in the object. section. A "document page" includes a page module that provides content with a specific context. The context can be defined based on the type of media, or a category with a media type. In one embodiment, a "vertical association" defines the type of media, such as music, movies, communications, shopping, games, and the like. In each vertical association, a context category can be further defined. For example, in music, a context can be a definition of music, each artist type. Thus, for the sake of clarity, when a further context definition for a word is generated, the degree and detail of the type of context that can be decomposed or organized can grow over time. A "document page" as used herein is a web page that is composed of one or more page modules. The page module as described above will be a type that defines a content, such as movie related content, music related content, photo related content, game related content, video related content, chat related content, and the like. Therefore, the document page contains pages that can be dynamically changed, depending on the word selected or entered. Therefore, a document page is not a search engine or search interface that triggers a web link or an external website. Conversely, the document page will contain or generate one or more page modules, and the data presented in each of the page modules will be displayed over time or based on the input in the multi-function search box. The word "," or a specific "word" selection in a particular page module of the document page, to be dynamically changed or updated.

As used herein, "context-related" means that a particular word system that can be entered by a user is associated with other words or phrases. Other words or phrases may be associated with contextual items, and from the point of view of meaning, subject, or combination, the context is meant to be a word that is arranged together. Therefore, from the perspective of coherence, words that have contextual relationship with other words or phrases can be connected. Furthermore, the context can be thought of as a part of a word or an article, and the meaning of the input word can be understood. Based on a topic, environment, context, current affairs, similar media group, similar activities, or a combination of the above, some words that are considered contextual may be defined based on some description of interrelationships, dependencies, or conditions.

In one example, a user enters an annotation on a particular content in a page module. The topic context of the specific content in the page module is analyzed with the topic context of the annotation. The editor of the site can programmatically or manually complete the topic context analysis. The analysis involves the use of stored relationships between words and content in a relational database. The subject context of the input user annotation matches the topic context of the content of other page modules. The context relationships mapped by the different page modules and annotations are stored in a relational database. The annotations entered by the user are continued to other page modules, which are matched by a context analysis. In a specific embodiment, the analysis can be done manually by at least one rich editor at a particular vertical association (e.g., content type). In other embodiments, the analysis can be stylized by defining rules and using content related information stored in an associated database.

In another example, the user can enter an annotation in a different page module related to "Lindsay Lohan" (for example, a page module such as "reference sentence" or "music"). The annotations entered by these users will be aggregated and displayed in the "Hot Topics" page module that presents general information about "Lindsay Lohan". The user can also enter more annotations in the "Top Topics" page module, or enter a reply to one or more existing annotations displayed in the page module 52. These newly entered annotations or responses to such annotations are also analyzed to determine the contextual relationship with the content of the paperwork. The analysis involves searching and reviewing the tabular data in the associated database to find the relationship between the page module and the different types of content. In a specific embodiment, the relationships are manually entered by an editor with extensive knowledge of a particular content type. In another embodiment, the relationships are stylized by defining rules to monitor the user's browsing behavior and to scan current events and news to collect relationship information. For example, if the news of the daily newspaper has both the "theme A" and the "subject B" features, the relationship between the "theme A" and the "the subject B" is recognized as the subject of the feature in the news. If a context is found, the annotations or responses to the annotations are tagged and continue to the context-sensitive page module in the document website. When the context-sensitive page modules are displayed, it is found that tagged annotations having contextual relationships with the context-sensitive page modules are embedded in the context-sensitive page modules.

Taking this overview, the diagram below illustrates the structure and functionality of the multi-function search block in the document page.

The first figure illustrates a single word 50 and a wide variety of page modules 52, sponsorship modules 54, and favorite modules 56. The word 50 is related to a concept, person, brand, and functions as a carrier of meaning. In one embodiment, page module 52 is categorized by a particular type of content, such as music, movies, chats, recent news bulletins, and the like. A new content type can be added to create a new page module 52. Sponsorship module 54 is a specially typed module that is specifically provided or built to provide selected sponsored content in connection with a particular term 50.

In one embodiment, the favorite module 56 is a special type of page module for storing an indicator or reference to the page module 52 previously labeled "My Favorites." In another embodiment, different user-defined content or links to external resources, media, movie clips, albums, etc. may also be stored in the favorite module 56. In still another embodiment, the favorite module 56 contains special content for a particular user. This content is added to the favorite module 56 through user actions. In still another embodiment, one or more page modules 52 are generated for the input word 50 "My Favorites." The page module 52 generated for entering the word 50 "My Favorites" contains user favorite content of one or more vertically associated categories, such as music, movies, events, and the like. The user favorite content in a specific embodiment is based on the login user personal setting information, including at least one of the user's preference, age, gender, and geographic location. In another embodiment, if the user is not logged in, the user's content browsing style and the interaction with the page module are stored in the cookie or temporary file, and then used to Generate or assemble the user's favorite content in different vertical associated content categories. In still another embodiment, the user's favorite content is generated based on a combination of user personal setting information and user interaction with the page module 52 during one or more previous document website browsing.

As shown in the first figure, the word search 50 surrounded by the page module 52, the sponsoring module 54, and the favorite module 56 represent the information search system of the related words 50, resulting in different types of page modules 52 and sponsoring modules. The generation of 54 each provides a specific type of content. The first figure further illustrates that the generation of the document page is to solve the selection of the word 50, and the information displayed by the different page module 52 focuses on the selected word 50. For example, selecting "popular" for word 50 will result in a document page with the most popular content for each individual page module (eg, popular movies, popular music, popular celebrities, popular styles, popular clubs) Wait). Each time a new word 50 is selected, a new document page including one of the different group page modules 52 will be generated. Therefore, in the above example, when the selection is changed from "popular" to "latest", the labeling module 52 including, for example, "the latest movie", "the latest music album", "the latest car model", etc. A new paper page will be created. In one example, the "latest" document page for word 50 will have a movie page module that displays a trailer from the recently-launched movie "Spiderman 3"; and a news module listing A recent newsletter collected from one or more news sources.

In one embodiment, the system maintains a list of words 50 of different types of content associated with each of the words 50 in a list, and a list of appropriate page modules 52. For example, for the word "newest", the system may have a movie module, a game module, a music module, a news module, a chat module, and the like in the list. Therefore, in this example, the document page generated for the word "newest" 50 will have a movie module, a game module, a music module, a news module, and a preset for a chat module. value. In a specific embodiment, the information editor can perform the word 50 and the page module 52 by means of a user browsing style, a recent statement about different celebrities, products, etc., different topics desired by the user, recent news, and the like. Maintenance and update. Content is grouped in different categories, such as content about a particular topic, or words that are appropriate or linked to a particular segment of the user. In a specific embodiment, the content is regularly and continuously updated to maintain the latest developments. In another embodiment, different types of content can be automatically scanned and obtained from different electronic media sources based on contextual search screening.

The second figure illustrates a page module layout 100. In one embodiment, the page module layout 100 includes a title 102, a filter 104, an interactive media space 106, a media intermediate data placeholder symbol 108, a text narrative column 110, and an annotation control 112. The page module layout 100 can be modified to accommodate different types of content. For example, the media intermediate data placeholder symbol 108 can be hidden to enable the interactive media space 106 for a full screen media display. In another example, the interactive media space 106 can be subdivided into two or more media spaces for displaying multiple media simultaneously or side by side. In still another example, a portion of the interactive media space 106 can be used to play a video, while other portions can be used to display thumbnail indicators to other media content. In another embodiment, a page module may not include a text narrative column 110. In still another embodiment, a page module may not include one or more media intermediate material placeholders 108, filters 104, and annotation controls 112.

The title 102 is used to display the title of the content of a page module 52, a sponsor module 54, or a favorite module 56. The main text displayed in the title 102 is also a word 50, which is a user selectable title, and this selection can also trigger a new document page that is generated near the word 50 in the title 102. In a specific embodiment, some commonly used titles are music, movies, recent news bulletins, chats, and the like. The title 102 is typically the subject name of the content in the page module 52. For example, a page module 52 having the title 102 text "Music" will have content that is directly or contextually related to the music.

Please still refer to the second figure, since the title 102 also has a word 50 of its own context in its vicinity, so selecting the title 102 will result in a new document page to display different page patterns centered or focused near the word. Group 52. For example, in a document page focused near the word 50 "Lindsay Lohan", it includes a module named "Music" (that is, "Music" is the title 102 of the page module 52), which is characterized by " Lindsay Lohan's music, selecting (or clicking) the title 102 of the "Music" page module 52 will produce a new document page that is now focused on the music. This new document page will, for example, have classical music, latest music albums, heavy metal music, jazz, etc., all centered and focused near "Music". Thus, as used herein, a word is not necessarily a single word, but can be a group of words defining a person, place, or thing. However, a word is different from a phrase that may be in the form of a sentence. Thus, broadly speaking, a word can be a close collection of words in a single text or context.

Therefore, looping through a document page that only includes context-sensitive and highly focused information provides a higher level of browsing experience because the user is not forced to jump from one website to another in the search for related content.

In one embodiment, the annotation control 112 has two states, a closed state and an extended state. In the off state, the annotation control 112 displays a number of annotations relating to a page module 52 written by the user, including a particular type of content that is focused on a particular word 50. The word 50 is related to a concept, person, brand, etc., and functions as a carrier of meaning. The annotation control 112 can be extended by selecting or clicking on the word. In this extended form, annotation control 112 displays a complete text annotation and reply to these annotations. In a specific embodiment, a reply can be input as a comment, and a reply can also be input as a reply to an annotation or the like. These annotations and replies are designed to facilitate identification between an annotation and a reply.

An annotation or a reply or a reply to a reply may be in the form of a text, a form of sound, or a form of speech or sound-visual. The expanded view of the annotation control 112 provides functionality through its provided volume and video controls to control the sound and visual aspects of the sound or sound-visual annotations.

The third diagram illustrates an expanded view of the annotation control 112 on a page module 52. When the page module 52 is displayed, a search is performed in a data store (e.g., an associated database) to search for user comments on different portions of the content in the page module 52. All user annotations so found are displayed in the annotation control 112. These user comments include responses to such user comments. In a specific embodiment, the replies to the user annotations are displayed differently in the annotation control 112 for easy identification.

The user can enter or leave an annotation on the content of the page module 52 in a different form. In a specific embodiment, a user annotation is in the form of this document. In another embodiment, the user is annotated as a sound form. In still another embodiment, the user is annotated in the form of an Audio-Video (AV).

Referring back to the third figure, a user inputs a text annotation 140 using a text assist keyboard or any other text input device. The "Announcement" 146 control allows the user to enter new annotations. The "Reply" 154 control allows the user to enter a reply to a pre-existing annotation. When a click or select "Announcement Annotation" 146 Control or "Reply" 154 control, a text editing control 152 can be established to enable text input. The user can enter a text in the text editing control 152 and select "Submit" 144 Control to save the annotation for permanent storage. When clicking or selecting "Submit" 144 control, the context between the annotations and content of page module 52 is also stored. The user ID of the user will also be stored with the annotation. In one embodiment, an annotation can be entered anonymously; in this case, the annotation is stored in the permanently stored material without the user ID of the user who entered the annotation. By selecting "Drop" 142 control, the user can choose to discard the entered text, and in this case, the annotation will not be stored in the data store.

With continued reference to the third figure, in one embodiment, the annotation control 112 displays all annotations and replies to the content of the page module 52 that were previously entered or left by the user. The annotation display includes the text of the annotation, the user ID of the input annotation, the time to enter the annotation or reply, and so on. In another embodiment, the annotation control 112 also displays video annotations left or entered by the users. The display of video annotation 148 includes a thumbnail that includes a snapshot 148a of a video annotation 148. A sound and video controller 150 is also included to allow the user to control the sound or visual aspect of the video annotation 148. A user can play a video annotation 148 by selecting an individual thumbnail 148a. In one embodiment, video annotation 148 also includes subtitles in a user selected language. In another embodiment, the sound in the video annotation 148 is converted into a textual form and stored as a textual annotation. The subject context of a video annotation 148 is analyzed using the text transformation of the sound in the video annotation 148.

In a specific embodiment, a privileged user is authorized to manage the user annotations. This management includes editing and deleting one or more user annotations. In an example, the management also includes deleting unneeded (eg, sly words or scenes) words, phrases, photos, and videos from such user annotations. In an example, the unwanted portions of the user annotations can be stylized and deleted by defining stylized rules and maintaining a list of unwanted content including words and phrases. The list of unwanted content is filtered by the rules and the annotation data annotated by the users to filter out unwanted content. In another example, the unwanted portions of the user annotations may be deleted by the content editor or manager of the page modules. In another embodiment, any user can edit any annotations entered by any user. An editorial tracking information is maintained for each editorial note.

The fourth figure illustrates a "hot topic" module 52 as an illustrative annotation aggregation process. In one example, the user input annotation system has a direct or contextual relationship with "Lindsay Lohan." These annotations are entered in the different page modules 52 of the document website. These annotations may have been entered into page module 52 and are not directly related to the word 50 "Lindsay Lohan". The "hot topic" module focused near the word 50 "Lindsay Lohan" is a contextual relationship between 140 and any event related to the word 50 "Lindsay Lohan" or "Lindsay Lohan". In a specific embodiment, as long as the annotations have a context with the word 50 "Lindsay Lohan", the annotation can be aggregated by searching for an associated database for annotations of any page module or object in the document website. And reached.

Referring back to the fourth figure, in a specific embodiment, new annotations can be added to the aggregated annotations. You can also enter a reply to these annotations. The entered annotations or replies and contextual relationships with different content on the paperwork site can be stored back in the associated database. In other embodiments, other types of data storage systems may be used, such as an object repository, LDAP, an active directory, and the like.

The fifth figure illustrates the input of annotations on a portion of a visual object (eg, a photo) in the page modules. The page module is a theme page module 52 in this example. The photos displayed in the theme page module 52 are filtered by a "Last Night" filter 104, that is, all of the displayed photos are associated with an event. A user (who wants to enter an annotation of a particular portion 180 of the photo in page module 52) can be provided by using a computer mouse, or any other user interface provided by the computer system (including a graphics operating system) This part is marked 180. The page module 52 displays an edit box to allow the user to enter a text annotation. In another embodiment, the page module 52 displays a file upload control for the user to upload as an annotated media file. In a specific embodiment, the media archive includes an annotation in the form of a sound. In another embodiment, the media file includes an annotation in the form of a sound-video.

Please refer to Figure 5 for a new reference, a unique identification can be generated in each of the marked portions of the photo, and the annotation is stored in the permanent database. In a specific embodiment, the unique identification includes the identification of the page module 52. In an example, when the photo is displayed again on the website of the document, the portion of the photo with a user annotation is displayed using a different token to enable the user to understand one or more annotations and the Partly related. In another example, the marker of the difference is displayed only when the mouse pointer is moved to the photo.

The sixth diagram illustrates the input of any photo that can be displayed in any of the page modules 52 in an annotation. The page module in one example is a chat page module 52 that is focused on the word 50 "Aishwara Rai" 182. Annotation control 112 can be used to input annotations for the contents of page module 52. In the photo of Aishwara Rai, the user has indicated the portion 180 to enter an annotation on these portions 180. In one embodiment, in general, the annotations entered at the portion 180 also appear in the list of annotations entered by the page module 52. In another example, regardless of where the particular photo of Aishwara Rai is displayed on the document website, the annotations left in the portion 180 will appear in the annotation control 112 of the page module displaying the photo. In addition, the annotation of portion 180 can also be viewed by hovering the mouse pointer over the portion 180.

The seventh diagram illustrates the structure of the user's annotations related to the content of other page modules. A user annotation 140 can be analyzed to identify contextual relationships with the content of other page modules in the document website. For example, a user annotation 140 is entered in a page module that has a context with "Lindsay Lohan" 52a. If the user annotation 140 is also discussed about "Justin Timberlake" (for example, the annotation "Justin is a good singer") User annotation 140 will be associated with the content of one or more page modules that have a context relationship with "Justin Timberlake" 52b. Since "Justin Timberlake" is associated with "N-Sync" and the user annotates 140 related music, the annotation 140 will also be associated with one of the "N-Sync" 52c contextual page modules. In a specific embodiment, the annotation analysis is performed by an editor of the instrument website. In another embodiment, the annotation analysis is programmed by defining rules for annotation analysis and using content relationships stored in the associated database.

Please refer to the seventh picture from the new. In one embodiment, the user annotation 140 is associated with the contextual page module by actually copying the contents of the user annotation 140 to the annotation storage of the other modules. In another embodiment, the contact is completed by providing an indicator for the annotation storage, so that only one physical copy of the user annotation 140 is stored in the database.

The eighth diagram further illustrates the association of user annotations 140 in the contextual page module. In one example, the user annotation 140 entered in a page module having a context relationship with "Lindsay Lohan" 52b is "Is she dating Justin?". Even though the full name of "Justin Timberlake" is not available in User's Note 140, this contextual analysis provides user annotations that the 140 is most likely to have a context with "Justin Timberlake" and not just any "Justin". Therefore, in this example, the user annotation 140 continues to the "Justin Timberlake" hot topic page module 52a.

The ninth and tenth diagrams illustrate the system architecture for storing annotations in a permanent association database 254. The system includes an analysis and aggregation module for analyzing the annotation and context relationship 250 and the aggregation annotation 252 to display the aggregated annotations on a page module. In one embodiment, when an annotation is entered in a page module, one or more stylized modules can analyze the annotation to identify the context. In another embodiment, the analysis of the annotation is done manually by the content editor. Based on the analysis of the annotation, annotations and contextual relationships between annotations in the document website and other page modules or objects are stored in the associated database 254. In a read cycle, when one of the page module request aggregation module 252 provides a comment group in a given context, the aggregator module 252 reads the association based on the topic context of the page module. The database 254 is used to retrieve annotations that are contextually associated with different content.

Please refer to the tenth figure, which illustrates an exemplary structure of internal storage in the associated database 254. The annotations are stored in an annotation table 270. Each annotation in the annotation table 270 maintains an association link 276 with one or more page modules, the identification of which is stored in the page module table 272. In a specific embodiment, the maintaining the associated link includes storing the reference to the page module containing the annotation in a form, and using the storage reference to retrieve the page module. Each page module in the page module table 272 is associated with one or more objects or portions, and the identification of the objects and/or portions thereof is stored in a portion of the object table 274. Each annotation in the annotation table 270 maintains an associated link 280 with one or more items in a portion of the object table 274. The tables in the associated database 254 are indexed to speed up the search for contextual relationships in the annotations, page modules, and parts of the object.
