Abstract
A computer-implemented method of determining the relevance, to a user, of documents accessible over a computer network involves analyzing information relating to a first document, identifying a second document corresponding to the first document using a computer, obtaining information that indicates the relevance of a second document, determining the relevance of the first document using the information indicating relevance of the second document. The first document may be a mobile document, while the second may be a non-mobile document.
Claims23
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying, by the computing system, a first document;
- identifying, by the computing system, a second document that comprises content that is different from the first document;
- determining, by the computing system, a level of similarity between substantive content of the first document and substantive content of the second document;
- assigning, by the computing system, a similarity score to a relationship between the first document and the second document based on the determined level of similarity between the substantive content of the first document and the substantive content of the second document;
- receiving, by a computing system, a query that was defined by user input at a computing device;
- identifying, by the computing system, documents that are responsive to the received query, wherein the documents that are responsive to the received query comprise the first document;
- determining, by the computing system, that the similarity score for the relationship between the first document and the second document satisfies a predetermined level of similarity;
- identifying, by the computing system, information that reflects a relevance score assigned to the second document as a result for one or more queries;
- assigning, by the computing system based on having determined that the similarity score for the relationship between the first document and the second document satisfies the predetermined level of similarity, a relevance score to the first document that is based on the relevance score that is assigned to the second document;
- ranking, by the computing system and in response to having received the query, each of the documents that are responsive to the received query using relevance scores that have been assigned to the documents that are responsive to the received query, to generate a ranking of the documents that are responsive to the received query, wherein the documents that are responsive to the received query includes the first document and the ranking of the relevance scores uses the relevance score that was assigned to the first document based on the relevance score assigned to the second document;
- and
- providing, by the computing system and in response to having received the query, information for receipt by the computing device so as to cause the computing device to present a display of search results that identify the documents that are responsive to the received query and that are presented in an order that is defined by the ranking, wherein the display of search results includes a search result that identifies the first document.
