Portable Browsing Interface For Information Retrieval

View page
US Patent:
6418429, Jul 9, 2002
Filed:
Oct 21, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/176116
Inventors:
Richard Daniel Borovoy - Boston MA
Michael Graves - San Jose CA
Michael Robert Hanson - Menlo Park CA
Nagabhushan Rao Machiraju - Cupertino CA
Assignee:
Apple Computer, Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G06F 1730
US Classification:
707 3, 707 5, 707 6, 707103, 707104
Abstract:
An integrated searching/browsing mechanism employs user-constructed information hierarchies that represent a cognitive framework for the organization of information. The hierarchies are independent of the information itself. This feature permits them to be shared among multiple users, and applied to any of a variety of different sources of information. The hierarchical organization that is provided by the framework gives the user the ability to browse around any available document database in a manner that is intuitive to the user. Two or more hierarchies can be combined to locate documents which match the criteria of both hierarchies, and thereby refine search results to an appropriate level. A relevance feedback mechanism further enhances the browsing experience, by concentrating the search results in areas that are most relevant to documents selected as being of particular interest.

Method And System For Archiving Data In Real-Time Communications

View page
US Patent:
7912454, Mar 22, 2011
Filed:
Aug 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/464773
Inventors:
Sunil Vemuri - Boston MA, US
Nagabhushan Rao Machiraju - Ventura CA, US
Assignee:
Reqall, Inc. - Moffett Field CA
International Classification:
H04M 1/725
US Classification:
4554121, 455514, 725 89, 725 90
Abstract:
Consistent with an embodiment of the invention, a communication device enables real-time communications by generating a representation of an analog input signal that is suitable for communication over a real-time communication channel to a remote communication device. In addition, the communication device stores and processes an alternative representation of the input, which is communicated to the remote device in a reliable, out-of band channel. Accordingly, the remote communication device initially stores the real-time data, but later automatically replaces the real-time data with the enhanced data that it receives over the reliable, out-of-band communication channel. The communication device similarly stores, and replaces, data received from the remote communication device.

System For Automatically Retrieving Information Relevant To Text Being Authored

View page
US Patent:
58731075, Feb 16, 1999
Filed:
Mar 29, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/625486
Inventors:
Richard D. Borovoy - Boston MA
Michael J. Graves - Redwood City CA
Nagabhushan Rao Machiraju - Cupertino CA
Sunil Vemuri - Pleasanton CA
Assignee:
Apple Computer, Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G06F 1721
US Classification:
707501
Abstract:
Text entry and information retrieval are combined in such a way as to automatically offer an author continuous retrieval of information potentially relevant to the text he is authoring. The author enters text in one portion of the user interface. Keywords are extracted from the text as the author enters them and are used as query words for an information retrieval mechanism to a document collection. Those queries return relevant information from the document collection in a second portion of the user interface. The user can then read or ignore the returned information or he can select the returned information to view the full context from which it came.

Faq Link Creation Between User's Questions And Answers

US Patent:
60286016, Feb 22, 2000
Filed:
Apr 1, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/829862
Inventors:
Nagabhushan Rao Machiraju - Cupertino CA
Michael James Graves - Cupertino CA
Sunil Vemuri - Pleasanton CA
Ravinder Paul Chandhok - Waynesburg PA
Catherine Abbott Lofgren - Campbell CA
Assignee:
Apple Computer, Inc. - Cupertino CA
International Classification:
G06F 300
US Classification:
345336
Abstract:
A user enters input, or a question in natural language form, and information is retrieved. A questions database is coupled to the input interface and contains questions which are comparable to the input and which the source retrieves in response to an input. An information source is coupled to the input interface and contains information which is relevant to retrieved questions. A searcher is coupled to the input interface for searching the information source for information which is relevant to the input. Information is ranked according to the entered query. A user's question is stored and linked to answers in the questions database. Users may add and link new questions which are not already stored in the questions database.
