US Classification:

707694, 705 2

Abstract:

A user evaluation of distributed content comprising an Evaluation Program (EP) that creates a user session when a user accesses distributed content is stored. The user evaluation is saved with other information such as the time and date of the evaluation, the user's personal information, and the navigation path the user used to access the distributed content page. The EP records the user's navigation of the distributed content in the user session. The EP gives the user the opportunity to rate distributed content. The EP saves the user's evaluation with the user session data and external stimuli data. The EP closes the user session when the user leaves the distributed content. The EP reopens the user session when the user returns to the distributed content.

International Classification:

G06F007/00

US Classification:

707/003000

Abstract:

A system and method for searching a database from a computer network is provided. A client computer sends a search request to a search engine. The search engine prepares a database request. The preparation may include converting the client's query into a structured query language command. The search engine sends the database request to one or more servers that include database management systems, such as IBM's DB2™. The servers receive the request and extract responsive data from the databases being managed by the database management system. The extracted data is returned to the search engine which is then formatted and returned to the client. In addition, the search engine may maintain a search index that includes a compilation of database indices that have been received from one or more servers. This search engine can be searched to gather results responsive to a client request.

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705010000, 705014000

Abstract:

A method for capturing a user evaluation of distributed content comprising an Evaluation Program (EP). The user evaluation is saved with other information such as the time and date of distributed content access, the user's personal information, and the navigation path the user used to access the distributed content page. The EP creates a user session that records the user's navigation of the distributed content. The EP uses incentive programs to entice the user to rate the distributed content page. The EP gives the user the opportunity to rate distributed content if the distributed content page has a content rating window and if the user meets the minimum evaluation criteria for the distributed content page. The EP displays a content rating window allowing the user to rate the distributed content page. The EP saves the user's evaluation with the user session data and closes the user session when the user leaves the distributed content.
