Patent Images
1. A method for adaptively selecting content to be displayed on a web page comprising:
- measuring a popularity value of documents based on a number of selections of each document;
storing the popularity value in a database;
identifying a subset of the documents upon receiving a request for the web page, wherein the subset is identified based on the popularity value of the documents;
displaying the subset of the documents on the web page, wherein the displaying comprises an indicia of each document with a corresponding link;
monitoring a selection of the corresponding link for each of the documents over a time interval;
adjust the popularity value of the documents based on a relative number of selections for each of the documents, wherein a relatively greater number of selections of the links for a corresponding document increases the popularity value of that document; and
updating the subset of the documents that are identified upon receiving a request for the web page, wherein the updated subset is identified based on the adjusted popularity value of the documents.

9. A method for determining documents to display on a web page comprising:
-
receiving a request for the web page; displaying the web page including a subset of documents, wherein each of the subset of documents comprises a link for the document, each link being selectable from the web page; monitoring, over a time interval, a frequency of selections of each link and its corresponding document from the web page; recording the frequency of selections of each link and its corresponding document over the time interval; determining a selection weight based on the frequency of selections of each link, wherein the selection weight for each link corresponds with a selection popularity of the document associated with the link; adjusting the subset of documents after expiration of the time interval by modifying which documents are in the subset based on the selection weight; displaying the web page including the adjusted subset of documents upon receiving another request for the web page; and updating the selection weight after another time interval based on the frequency of selections of each link within the another time interval and adjusting the subset after expiration of the another time interval. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
