First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of correlating data on a local network with data from one or more external sources, comprising the steps of:
- providing an information gatherer for identifying information related to content available on the local network, of interest to the user, and identifying one or more external sources that contain such related information;
providing an extractor for extracting data related to said identified information from the external sources; and
providing a correlator for determining correlations between the identified information and the data extracted from the external network.

Abstract
A correlation system and method implement a framework for correlating content available from a local network with information on an external network. The system identifies information related to content available on the local network of interest to the user and also identifies one or more external sources that contain such related information. Then the system extracts data related to the identified information from the external sources, and determines correlations between the identified information and the data extracted from the external network.
