Identification of shared resources
View Patent ↗A method for identifying relevant shared resources for a requested browser criterion, the method comprising the steps of: receiving browser monitoring data for a shared resource, the browser monitoring data including an identification of a browser criterion; recording the browser monitoring data to a monitoring data store; parsing the monitoring data in the monitoring data store to identify relevant monitoring data for the requested browser criterion; and identifying shared resources associated with the relevant monitoring data.
1. A method for recommending relevant websites for a requested browser criterion, comprising:
monitoring a plurality of browsers used by different users;
generating browser monitoring data for websites browsed by the plurality of browsers, the browser monitoring data including data relating to interaction between a user and a web browser, data relating to interaction between a user and a website, and data relating to a reuse of resources at a website, the reuse of resources at a website including a clipboard operation associated with content within the website;
recording the browser monitoring data to a data store, each item of the browser monitoring data including an identification of a browser criterion relating to a specific subject matter or topic of activity;
receiving a requested browser criterion from a requestor browser;
parsing the stored browser monitoring data to identify monitoring data including an identification of a browser criterion matching the requested browser criterion as relevant to the requested browser criterion;
identifying websites associated the identified relevant monitoring data; and
recommending the identified websites to the requestor browser.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising ranking the identified websites using a relevance policy.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising
compressing the generated browser monitoring data to reduce quantity of stored monitoring data by removal of monitoring data based on a compression policy.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the interaction between a user and a web browser includes at least one of:
a selecting of options in the web browser by the user,
a specifying of an address of a website by the user,
a storing of a bookmark to the address of the website by the user,
a retrieving of the bookmark to the address of the website by the user, and
a selecting of a hypertext link within the website by the user.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the interaction between a user and a website includes an indication of at least one of:
an elapsed period of time a user spends browsing the website,
data transmitted to a web server for the website, and
a selection of a hypertext link in the website by a user.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the reuse of resources at a website further includes:
downloading the content from the website.
7. A computer hardware device for recommending relevant websites for a requested browser criterion, comprising:
a processor, wherein the processor is configured to
monitor a plurality of browsers used by different users;
generate browser monitoring data for websites browsed by the plurality of browsers, the browser monitoring data including data relating to interaction between a user and a web browser, data relating to interaction between a user and a website, and data relating to a reuse of resources at a website, the reuse of resources at a website including a clipboard operation associated with content within the website;
record the browser monitoring data to a data store, each item of the browser monitoring data including an identification of a browser criterion relating to a specific subject matter or topic of activity;
receive a requested browser criterion from a requestor browser;
parse the stored browser monitoring data to identify monitoring data including an identification of a browser criterion matching the requested browser criterion as relevant to the requested browser criterion;
identify websites associated the identified relevant monitoring data; and
recommend the identified websites to the requestor browser.
8. The computer hardware device of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to
rank the identified websites using a relevance policy.
9. The computer hardware device of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to
compress the generated browser monitoring data to reduce quantity of stored monitoring data by removal of monitoring data based on a compression policy.
10. The computer hardware device of claim 7 , wherein
the interaction between a user and a web browser includes at least one of:
a selecting of options in the web browser by the user,
a specifying of an address of the website by the user,
a storing of a bookmark to the address of the website by the user,
a retrieving of the bookmark to the address of the website by the user, and
a selecting of a hypertext link within the website by the user.
11. The computer hardware device of claim 7 , wherein
the interaction between a user and a website includes an indication of at least one of:
an elapsed period of time a user spends browsing the website,
data transmitted to a web server for the website, and
a selection of a hypertext link in the website by a user.
12. The computer hardware device of claim 7 , wherein
the reuse of resources at a website further includes
downloading the content from the website.
13. A computer program product comprising a computer usable storage memory having stored therein computer usable program code for evaluating browser monitoring data associated with a shared resource, the computer usable program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system causes the computer hardware system to perform
monitoring a plurality of browsers used by different users;
generating browser monitoring data for websites browsed by the plurality of browsers, the browser monitoring data including data relating to interaction between a user and a web browser, data relating to interaction between a user and a website, and data relating to a reuse of resources at a website, the reuse of resources at a website including a clipboard operation associated with content within the website;
recording the browser monitoring data to a data store, each item of the browser monitoring data including an identification of a browser criterion relating to a specific subject matter or topic of activity;
receiving a requested browser criterion from a requestor browser;
parsing the stored browser monitoring data to identify monitoring data including an identification of a browser criterion matching the requested browser criterion as relevant to the requested browser criterion;
identifying websites associated the identified relevant monitoring data; and
recommending the identified websites to the requestor browser.
14. The computer program product of claim 13 , further comprising
ranking the identified websites using a relevance policy.
15. The computer program product of claim 13 , further comprising
compressing the generated browser monitoring data to reduce quantity of stored monitoring data by removal of monitoring data based on a compression policy.
16. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein
the interaction between a user and a web browser includes at least one of:
a selecting of options in the web browser by the user,
a specifying of an address of the website by the user,
a storing of a bookmark to the address of the website by the user,
a retrieving of the bookmark to the address of the website by the user, and
a selecting of a hypertext link within the website by the user.
17. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein
the interaction between a user and a website includes an indication of at least one of:
an elapsed period of time a user spends browsing the website,
data transmitted to a web server for the website, and
