Methods and systems to communicate information
First Claim
1. A system including:
- a communication module to receive a first query that contains a first constraint;
a search index engine to retrieve a first plurality of data items from a database based on the first query and to generate a first distribution based on the first plurality of data items, the first distribution to utilize a first plurality of domains used to identify data items;
a demand data engine to generate a second distribution based on a plurality of requests to view a second plurality of data items; and
a coverage module to generate a third distribution based on the first distribution and the second distribution and to generate interface information, to be communicated to a user, based on the third distribution.

Abstract
There is provided a method and system to communicate information. The system receives a first query that contains at least one constraint and retrieves a first plurality of data items from a database based on the first query. Next the system generating a first distribution based on the first plurality of data items, the first distribution utilizing a first plurality of domains used to identify data items. Next the system generates a second distribution based on a plurality of requests to view a second plurality of data items. Next the system generates a third distribution based on the first distribution and the second distribution. Finally the system generates interface information, to be communicated to a user, based on the third distribution.
