Abstract
Providing information to a user based on the user's search patterns includes identifying a relationship between a first subject and a second subject, receiving, from the user, a search term for searching through the World Wide Web, determining if the search term relates to the first subject, and providing information to the user that relates to the second subject if the search term relates to the first subject.
Claims57
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying a relationship between a first subject and a second subject;
- receiving, from a user, a search term for searching through the World Wide Web;
- determining if the search term relates to the first subject;
- and
- providing information to the user that relates to the second subject if the search term relates to the first subject.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring a first user's database queries;
- identifying a relationship between the first user's database queries and a second user's database queries;
- and
- providing the first user with information that relates to the second user in response to identifying the relationship.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a database query from a user;
- identifying a relationship between the database query and previous database queries from the user;
- and
- providing information to the user that is based on the relationship between the database query and the previous database queries.
A computer program stored on a computer-readable medium, the computer program comprising instructions that cause a computer to:
- identify a relationship between a first subject and a second subject;
- receive, from a user, a search term for searching through the World Wide Web;
- determine if the search term relates to the first subject;
- and
- provide information to the user that relates to the second subject if the search term relates to the first subject.
A computer program stored on a computer-readable medium, the computer program comprising instructions that cause the computer to:
- monitor a first user's database queries;
- identify a relationship between the first user's database queries and a second user's database queries;
- and
- provide the first user with information that relates to the second user in response to identifying the relationship.
A computer program stored on a computer-readable medium comprising instructions that cause a computer to:
- receive a database query from a user;
- identify a relationship between the database query and previous database queries from the user;
- and
- provide information to the user that is based on the relationship between the database query and the previous database queries.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory that stores executable instructions;
- and
- a processor that executes the instructions to:
- identify a relationship between a first subject and a second subject;
- receive, from a user, a search term for searching through the World Wide Web;
- determine if the search term relates to the first subject;
- and
- provide information to the user that relates to the second subject if the search term relates to the first subject.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory that stores executable instructions;
- and
- a processor that executes the instructions to:
- monitor a first user's database queries;
- identify a relationship between the first user's database queries and a second user's database queries;
- and
- provide the first user with information that relates to the second user in response to identifying the relationship.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory that stores executable instructions;
- and
- a processor that executes the instructions to:
- receive a database query from a user;
- identify a relationship between the database query and previous database queries from the user;
