Abstract

Disclosed are method and a system, as well as a computer program product for providing suggested tags associated with a target web page for manipulation by a user. The preferred embodiment of the present invention is implemented by generating a list of keywords associated with the target web page as suggested tags; adding the keywords as suggested tags into the page and transforming the page bearing the keywords into a HTML file, while the user decides to bookmark the page; and creating a layer of new transparent or semi-transparent window overlaying an original window displaying the page, the transformed page with said keywords being rendered on the new window for displaying the suggestion for said user'"'"'s manipulation.

Claims

1. A method for providing suggested tags associated with a target web page for manipulation by a user, comprising:

generating a list of keywords associated with said target web page as suggested tags;

adding said keywords as suggested tags into said target web page and transforming said target web page bearing said keywords into a HTML file, while said user decides to bookmark said target web page; and

creating a layer of new transparent or semi-transparent window overlaying an original window displaying said target web page, said transformed page with said keywords being rendered on said new window for displaying said suggestion for said user'"'"'s manipulation.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method is performed in the background.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein said method is implemented in a tag-based online bookmark system.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein said transforming step transforms said page bearing said keywords into a HTML file by utilizing a layer stylesheet written in XSL transformation (XSLT) language, and wherein said layer stylesheet is used to define the stylesheet of said layer.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein said transforming step further comprises a step of transforming a customization file defining presentation preference of said keywords into a customized CSS by utilizing a cascading Style Sheets (CSS) transformation stylesheet written in XSLT, and wherein said customized CSS is used to determine a presentation style of said keywords, such as fonts, colors or layouts.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein said fonts and colors are preferably used to identify the importance of said keywords.

7. The method according to claim 3, wherein said new window comprises an input region and a send button, and wherein said suggested tags may be moved to the input region by clicking said tags, and sent to a server side of said bookmark system upon clicking said send button.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein said user may manually add any tags which are meaningful to him into the input region.

9. The method according to claim 2, wherein said list of keywords are generated according to one or any combinations of the following four inputs respectively as content of said web page, said user'"'"'s previous preference, keywords previously used by other users and associated with said web page, and additional metadata associated with said web page.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein a TF-IDF weight technique is used to evaluate how important said keywords are to said web page in order to generate said keywords according to said content of said web page.

11. A data processing system for providing suggested tags associated with a target page for manipulation by a user, comprising:

a host;

said host comprising;

a bus;

a memory connected to said bus, in which said memory comprises a set of instructions; and

a processor connected to said bus, in which said processor executes said set of instructions to perform said method according to claim 1.

12. A program product embodied on a computer recording medium with a program stored thereon, said program comprising program codes causing a data processing system to execute said method according to claim 1 for providing suggested tags associated with a target page for manipulation by a user.

14. The method according to claim 11, wherein said analyzing step is performed by searching said document with an input from said user, and displaying searched results on said layer of new transparent or semi-transparent window.

15. The method according to claim 14, wherein said searched results may be identified with different fonts and colors.

16. The method according to claim 15, wherein if there is a word in said document matching said input from said user, said word is highlighted with a bigger font size and a brilliant color, and if only partially matching, said word is highlighted with a smaller font size and a darker color.

13. A method for providing a user interface for manipulation by a user, comprising:

analyzing a document which said user is interested in to generate keywords associated with said document as tags; and

creating a layer of new transparent or semi-transparent window overlaying an original window displaying said page, said generated keywords as tags being rendered on said new window for said user'"'"'s manipulation.

17. A data processing system for providing a user interface for manipulation by a user, comprising

a host;

said host comprising

a bus;

a memory connected to said bus, in which said memory comprises a set of instructions; and

a processor connected to said bus, in which said processor executes said set of instructions to perform said method according to claim 13.

18. A program product in a computer recording medium with a program stored thereon, said program comprising program codes causing a data processing system to execute said method according to claim 13 for providing a user interface for manipulation by a user.

19. A data processing system comprising a user interface for providing suggested tags associated with a target web page for manipulation by a user, said user interface comprising

means for generating a list of keywords associated with said target web page as suggested tags;

means for adding said keywords as suggested tags into said web page and transforming said web page bearing said keywords into a HTML file, while said user decides to bookmark said page; and

means for creating a layer of new transparent or semi-transparent window overlaying an original window displaying said page, said transformed page with said keywords being rendered on said new window for displaying said suggestion for said user'"'"'s manipulation.
