Filed:

Sep 29, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/240750

Inventors:

Michael K. Malone - Tigard OR, US
Jon David Loucks - Tualatin OR, US
Cameron W. Cotrill - Beaverton OR, US

Assignee:

Thinkstream, Inc. - Baton Rouge LA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707733, 707805, 709203

Abstract:

A distributed information network is constructed for gathering information from sites distributed across a globally accessible computer network, i. e. , the Internet. The distributed information network preferably includes a root server that stores a list of multiple distributed sites each represented by metadata. A network browser delivers an information search request to the root server, which in response develops a profiled information search request. The information provider of each of the distributed sites stores metadata corresponding to information content that is retrievable in response to the profiled information search request for search results derivable from the information content to which the metadata correspond. A profiled information communication link between the root server and each of the multiple distribution sites enables formation of a path for delivery of the search results to a destination site, from a site or sites represented by the metadata of the profiled information search request.
