摘要： A system and method of distributed metadata searching is disclosed. The present invention permits an extension of the searching and retrieval functions of existing Internet web search engines by utilizing computational resources embodied in user computer systems and search browsers. By distributing the searching and scanning functions to the user level, the present invention reduces the computational and communications burden on Internet web search engines and crawlers, resulting in lower computational resource utilization by Internet search engine providers. Given the exponential growth rate currently being experienced in the Internet community, the present invention provides one of the few methods by which complete searches of this vast distributed database may be performed. The present invention permits embodiments incorporating a Search Manger (1001) further comprising a Service Results Manager (1013), User Profile Database (1012), Service Manager(1013), and Service Database (1014); a Light Weight Application SCANNER (1002); and a Search Engine (1008). These components may be augmented in some preferred embodiments via the use of a Search Browser (1003), Internet Communications (1004); Web Site(s) (1005), Web Crawler(s) (1006), and a Repository Database (1007).

摘要： An automatic method for rating data files for objectionable content in a distributed computer system includes preprocessing the file to create semantic units, comparing the semantic units with a rating repository containing entries and associated ratings, assigning content rating vectors to the semantic units, and creating a modified data file incorporating rating information derived from the content rating vectors. For text files, the semantic units are words or phrases, and the rating repository also contains words or phrases with corresponding content rating vectors. For audio files, the file is first converted to a text file using voice recognition software. For image files, image processing software is used to recognize individual objects and compare them to basic images and ratings stored in the rating repository. In one embodiment, a composite content rating vector is derived for the file from the individual content rating vectors, and the composite content rating vector is incorporated into the modified file. In an alternate embodiment, semantic units with content rating vectors exceeding preset user limit values of objectionable content are blocked out by display blocks or, for audio, audio blanking signals, for example, beeps. The user can then view or hear the remaining portions of the file. The invention can be used with any type of data file that can be divided into semantic units, and can be implemented in a server, client, search engine, or proxy server.
摘要翻译：一种用于在分布式计算机系统中评估不良内容的数据文件的自动方法包括对文件进行预处理以创建语义单元，将语义单元与包含条目和相关等级的评级仓库进行比较，将内容分级向量分配给语义单元，以及创建包含从内容分级向量导出的评级信息的修改数据文件。对于文本文件，语义单位是单词或短语，评级存储库还包含具有相应内容分级向量的单词或短语。对于音频文件，文件首先使用语音识别软件转换为文本文件。对于图像文件，图像处理软件用于识别单个对象，并将它们与存储在评级库中的基本图像和评级进行比较。在一个实施例中，针对来自各个内容评级向量的文件导出复合内容分级向量，并且将复合内容评级向量并入修改的文件中。在替代实施例中，具有超过预期的令人反感的内容的用户极限值的内容分级矢量的语义单元被显示块或音频，音频消隐信号例如嘟嘟声阻挡。然后，用户可以查看或听到文件的其余部分。本发明可以与可分为语义单元的任何类型的数据文件一起使用，并且可以在服务器，客户机，搜索引擎或代理服务器中实现。

摘要： A system and method associates a label and description with a search query such that the query, label, and description can be stored in a shared query repository so that queries can be retrieved by multiple users for reuse. The shared query repository can be searched, so that an appropriate query can be located, retrieved, and then submitted for execution over a document database by a search engine. Retrieved queries can be combined with other retrieved queries or modified with new search terms, and the new combined search query can be used for a new search on the database. The database search system and method efficiently permits reuse of search queries and facilitates sharing of search strategies.

摘要： A network repository service supplements the functions of a web server to enable an increase in the efficiency of web crawling. The repository service: (a) automatically maintains a file modification list that contains the names of files on the server that have been modified (i.e., added, deleted, or otherwise modified), together with the date and time of the file modification; and (b) provides a requesting crawler with the file modification list (or a portion of the list corresponding to a time period specified by the crawler). The repository service may also (c) limit or restrict access privileges of crawlers that do not request the file modification list prior to crawling, thereby protecting the server from overcrawling. The repository service enables a crawler to request the file modification list, and avoid unnecessarily recrawling files that have not been modified since its last visit, thereby preventing considerable waste of time, network bandwidth, server processing resources, and crawler processing resources. Using the file modification list, the crawler can remove all prior references to deleted files, and efficiently recrawl only those files that have been added or changed since the crawler last visited the web server.
摘要翻译：网络存储库服务补充了Web服务器的功能，以提高Web爬网的效率。存储库服务：（a）自动维护文件修改列表，其中包含已修改（即添加，删除或以其他方式修改）的服务器上的文件名称以及文件修改的日期和时间; 和（b）向请求履历提供文件修改列表（或列表对应于爬行器指定的时间段的一部分）。存储库服务还可以（c）在爬行之前限制或限制不请求文件修改列表的爬网程序的访问权限，从而保护服务器免受过度抓取。存储库服务使爬网程序能够请求文件修改列表，并避免不必要地重新抓取自上次访问以来未被修改的文件，从而防止大量浪费时间，网络带宽，服务器处理资源和爬网程序处理资源。使用文件修改列表，爬网程序可以删除所有先前对已删除文件的引用，并且只能有效地重新抓取从爬网程序上次访问Web服务器以来添加或更改的文件。

摘要： A master repository service maintains a directory of web servers and the most recent times that their web contents were modified, and provides this information to web crawlers to increase their efficiency. The master repository service receives web content update reports from a plurality of web servers, updates the directory to keep it current, and provides crawlers with web site modification information. The web site modification information preferably comprises identifiers for new web sites, “dead” web sites, and modified web sites. Each crawler is preferably provided only with web site modification information received since it last received information from the master repository service. The information allows web crawlers to know immediately about new web sites, and allows them to spend time visiting only those web sites that are new or that have changed their content.

摘要： The present invention provides for an integrated matching service and calendaring system. Calendar events are utilized as a bridge between an electronic calendaring system and a matching service. A calendar event represents an activity, e.g., job opening, tennis match, bicycle race, etc., the requirements to match the activity, the entity attributes, and any match results. An entity defines criteria and information for a matching activity which is stored as a calendar event in the electronic calendar system. Portions of the criteria and information are stored as attachments to the calendar event. The calendar events representing a matching activity and associated attachments are provided to a matching server which locates suitable matches for the activity based upon the criteria and information of the activity. If a suitable match is located, the matching server notifies the entities involved by listing the corresponding entities as attendees associated with the calendar event.

摘要： A method for providing rated hypermedia content, in which the rating represents degrees of objectionable content, includes four steps: generating raw hypermedia content from a set of units containing data from external data files, obtaining content rating vectors associated with the external data files, deriving a composite content rating vector for the raw hypermedia content from the content rating vectors, and storing the composite content rating vector in the raw hypermedia content to produce rated hypermedia content. Preferably, the raw hypermedia content is a raw search result page created automatically by a search engine in response to a query from a client machine. A rated search result page is generated and transmitted to the client machine over a computer network. The units may represent external data files, preferably other Web pages, and the content rating vectors represent the degrees of objectionable content of the Web pages. Content rating vectors are obtained directly from the external data files or by rating them automatically. The external data files may be of any type, including audio, text, image, or a combination. The composite content rating vector comprises a set of components, and each component is derived from corresponding components of the content rating vectors. Each component may equal the maximum value of the corresponding components of the content rating vectors.

摘要： A method for automatically limiting access of a client computer to data objects accessed through a server computer dynamically prevents robots or webcrawlers from obtaining too much of the server database and from dramatically reducing server performance. The method includes the steps of receiving a request for a data object, recording a log entry for the request, calculating client request values, and refusing the request if a client request value exceeds one of a set of corresponding predefined maximum request values. Each log entry contains a client identifier, timestamp, and at least one data object identifier for the request. The client request values preferably include a request frequency, which is compared with a predefined maximum request frequency, and a cumulative data request, which is compared with a data access threshold. If the client is refused access, the client identifier is added to a deny list, and future requests from the client are automatically denied. The calculated cumulative data request may be for a single client, or it may be for all clients, in order to detect a robot that is divided among multiple client identifiers. The cumulative data request check may consider the total percentage of server resources being given away, or a pattern in the requests. Also provided is a data protection system containing a log file, a request analyzer, and a dynamically-generated deny list. Requests to the server are intercepted and sent to the data protection system first.
摘要翻译：用于自动限制客户端计算机访问通过服务器计算机访问的数据对象的方法可以动态地防止机器人或网络抓取工具获取太多的服务器数据库，并显着降低服务器性能。该方法包括以下步骤：接收对数据对象的请求，记录请求的日志条目，计算客户端请求值，以及如果客户端请求值超过一组对应的预定义的最大请求值，则拒绝该请求。每个日志条目包含客户端标识符，时间戳和至少一个请求的数据对象标识符。客户端请求值优选地包括与预定义的最大请求频率进行比较的请求频率和与数据访问阈值进行比较的累积数据请求。如果客户端被拒绝访问，则客户机标识符被添加到拒绝列表中，并且来自客户端的未来请求将被自动拒绝。所计算的累积数据请求可以是针对单个客户端，或者可以是针对所有客户机，以便检测在多个客户端标识符之间划分的机器人。累积数据请求检查可以考虑给出的服务器资源的总百分比或请求中的模式。还提供了包含日志文件，请求分析器和动态生成的拒绝列表的数据保护系统。对服务器的请求被拦截并首先发送到数据保护系统。
