20100088583SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BOOKMARKING AND AUTO-TAGGING A CONTENT ITEM BASED ON FILE TYPE - The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for bookmarking and tagging content items such as media files with user-defined tag information and system-defined tag information based on file types. Utilizing tag information, a user of a bookmarking and tagging service provider can easily search for and retrieve links to media files having specific tag information, even if the media files are located at geographically disparate sites. A user may also retrieve the media files using web feeds.04-08-2010
20110078766SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BOOKMARKING AND TAGGING A CONTENT ITEM - The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for saving and tagging a content item available on a computer network, including saving and bookmarking a reference to a content item. According to one embodiment of a method according to the present invention, a user navigates to a content item and selects a control to save a bookmark to the content item. A bookmarking and tagging server receives one or more items of tag information that are related to the bookmarked content item, which are saved in conjunction with the one or more items of tag information.03-31-2011
20120158749SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING TAG-BASED RELEVANCE RECOMMENDATIONS OF BOOKMARKS IN A BOOKMARK AND TAG DATABASE - A method comprises identifying a first user having stored in a database a set of first bookmarks associated with a topic of interest; determining a level of relatedness of a second user to the first user by comparing a first number of overlapping bookmarks that were stored in the database by the second user and that overlap the set of first bookmarks; determining a level of value of the second user to the first user by comparing a second number of related nonoverlapping bookmarks that were stored in the database by the second user that, relate to the topic of interest, and that do not overlap the set of first bookmarks; and presenting at least a portion of the related nonoverlapping bookmarks to the first user.06-21-2012
20120310933SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING A BOOKMARK AND TAG DATABASE FOR RELEVANT BOOKMARKS - A method comprises receiving a search request to search a bookmark package database storing bookmarks and tag information, e.g., user-generated keywords; using the search request to search the tag information in the bookmark package database to locate relevant bookmarks and to generate search results; and presenting the search results to a user. The search results may identify user-specific relevant bookmarks, and/or relevant bookmarks regardless of the creator. The method may include determining related terms and enabling selection of the related terms to initiate additional searching. The method may include generating a relevance value based on keyword order, meta-information type, number of bookmarks to a given content item, number of hits on a given bookmark, time of last bookmarking to a given content item, and/or content analysis. Search result organization may be based on the relevance values. The bookmark package database may further store automatically generated and user-generated meta-information.12-06-2012
20140281861Method And Apparatus For Tagging Data - A system is provided that permits the use of classification information that can be interpreted by a computer system. To this end, a system and method may be provided for creating classification information that may be interpreted by a computer system. Such classification information may be associated with content, and permit a computer system to process the content based on the classification information. In one example, classification information may be associated by a user, system, or process with a portion of content, and a computer system processes the content based on the classification information. For instance, the classification information may cause content to be processed in a particular way, presented to a user by a particular application program, cause the content to be forwarded to a particular user, or otherwise influence how the content is handled.09-18-2014

20110238675TECHNIQUES FOR INCLUDING COLLECTION ITEMS IN SEARCH RESULTS - Techniques are provided for including collection items in the ranked set of search results that are returned to a user in response to a search query. Collection scoring techniques are also provided for generating relevance scores for collection items in a different manner than relevance scores are generated for base items that are not collections. The collection scoring techniques may be applied to non-base collection items, base collection items, or both. Items that match the search query, including base items and collection items, are ranked in a unified ranking based on their respective relevance scores, thereby allowing searches to readily determine the relevance ranking of matching collection items relative to matching base items.09-29-2011
