Real time relevancy determination system and a method for calculating relevancy of real time information

The method of step 16 wherein each information packet is further associated to a message terms key map, said message key map comprising of a plurality of message characteristic entries, each message characteristic entry associated to an real time term being extracted from the information packet, said message characteristic entry comprising of at least one of the following fields selected from a group consisting of:

• a term inverted file, for pointing to the term extracted information;
• an instance of number, for indicating a number of time said real time term appeared in the information packet;
• and
• an inverted file entry, for pointing to a terms inverted file entry.

In a computing environment running on a computer platform utilized as a central server system, a method of calculating the relevancy of relevancy keywords is operating in order to make available the capability for users of client systems connectable thereto of receiving indications about the relevancy of relevancy keywords in response to the reception of real time terms by the central server system, the method comprising of the steps of:

• determining relevancy keywords;
• extracting real time terms from currently received information streams;
• updating current reception patterns of relevancy keywords in response to a comparison between the extracted real time terms and the relevancy keywords;
• and
• determining a relevancy of relevancy keywords in response to a comparison between current reception patterns and reference reception patterns.

A system for receiving and processing real time terms, the system comprising:

• a search engine, for receiving and processing information streams and providing an indication reflecting at least one match between a query provided by a client and real time terms extracted from the information streams;
• a relevancy determination unit, the relevancy determination unit coupled to the search engine for receiving an indication reflecting at least one match between a query provided by a client and real time terms extracted from the information streams;
• and for determining whether the real time terms match a relevancy keyword;
• wherein the a relevancy determination unit comprising:
• a first interface for receiving information relating to a reception of relevancy keywords;
• a processor for calculating current reception patterns and previous reception patterns in response to the reception of information relating to the reception of relevancy keywords;
• a storage unit, coupled to the first interface and the processor, for storing current reception patterns, previous reception patterns and information relating to the reception of relevancy keywords.

The system of step 92 wherein each information packet is further associated to a message terms key map, said message key map comprising of a plurality of message characteristic entries, each message characteristic entry associated to an real time term being extracted from the information packet, said message characteristic entry comprising of at least one of the following fields selected from a group consisting of:

• a term inverted file, for pointing to the term extracted information;
• an instance of number, for indicating a number of time said real time term appeared in the information packet;
• and
• an inverted file entry, for pointing to a terms inverted file entry.

A system for receiving and processing real time terms, the system comprising:

• an alert module, for receiving and processing information streams and providing an indication reflecting at least one match between at least one alert criterion provided by a client and real time terms extracted from the information streams;
• a relevancy determination unit, the relevancy determination unit coupled to the alert module for receiving an indication reflecting at least one match between at least one alert criterion provided by a client and real time terms extracted from the information streams;
• and for determining whether the real time terms match a relevancy keyword;
• wherein the a relevancy determination unit comprising:
• a first interface for receiving information relating to a reception of relevancy keywords;
• a processor for calculating current reception patterns and previous reception patterns in response to the reception of information relating to the reception of relevancy keywords;
• a storage unit, coupled to the first interface and the processor, for storing current reception patterns, previous reception patterns and information relating to the reception of relevancy keywords.
