View Patent ↗An information system based on time, space and relevance is provided. The system comprises a client that displays information in a user-friendly manner and is located in a domestic environment; a proxy that handles the collection and parsing of data; a server that gathers usage data from the client; a database data mining cluster that allows for user profiling and time, space and relevance analysis; a set of information channels, which are periodically updated, and upon which automatic suggestions are given based on a user profile.
1. An information system based on time, space and relevance, said system comprising: a client that displays information in a user-friendly manner; a proxy that handles the collection and parsing of data; a server that gathers usage data from the client; a data mining cluster that allows for user profiling and time, space and relevance analysis; a set of information channels, which are periodically updated, and upon which automatic suggestions are given based on a user profile.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the client is a thin client.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the proxy is divided between the client and the server.
4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the data handled by the proxy is in extensible markup language (XML) format.
5. An information system, said information system comprising: at least one client that displays information related to a plurality of information channels; a data mining cluster which performs user profiling and time, space and relevance analysis, wherein suggestions are provided to said at least one client based on a user profile and said time, space, and relevance analysis, and wherein said plurality of information channels are updated based on said suggestions.
6. The system, according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one client is a thin client.
7. The system according to claim 5 , wherein said at least one client comprises a proxy that collects and parses data.
8. The system according to claim 5 , wherein said plurality of information channels are periodically updated.
9. The system according to claim 5 , wherein said suggestions are automatically provided to said at least one client.
10. The system according to claim 7 , wherein the data collected by the proxy is in extensible markup language (XML) format.
11. A client device for obtaining information based on time, space and relevance analysis received from a data mining cluster, said device comprising: at least one user interface for entering data; a screen for displaying said information; an input/output unit for receiving said information and transmitting said data, wherein automatic suggestions are received, via said input/output unit, based on a user profile and said time, space, and relevance analysis.
12. The client device according to claim 11 , wherein the client device is a thin client device.
13. The client device according to claim 11 , further comprising a proxy for pre-fetching said information.
