Abstract

Obtaining feedback for an accessed information item. A user and an information item accessed by the user are associated. associating a user and an information item accessed by the user. A provision to the user of a prompt to provide feedback on the accessed information item until a later time that is dependent upon the accessed information item is delayed. A trust indication to take account of the provided feedback in response to the prompt is updated.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

associating a user and an information item accessed by said user; and

delaying provision to said user of a prompt to provide feedback on accessed information item until a later time that is dependent upon said accessed information item; and

updating a trust indication to take account of said provided feedback in response to said prompt.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said later time is additionally dependent upon a profile of said user.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

assigning a first context to said accessed information item;

monitoring a current second context of said user; and

determining said later time by identifying a time when said current second context matches assigned first context.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein a reward is provided to said user when said user provides feedback.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

dynamically updating said trust indication.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

updating a user profile of said user based on said feedback.

13. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

identifying an author of said accessed information item;

using identity of said author to generate at least a part of said first context that is assigned to said accessed information item.

14. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

identifying a suitable sponsor for said feedback utilizing said first context that is assigned to said accessed information item.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

before said associating said user and said information item accessed by said user, detecting a selection of said information item by said user.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising:

obtaining data identifying said detected selection of said information item, said user who selected said information and a user who published said information item.

2. (canceled)

6. A computer usable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed provide a method for obtaining feedback for an accessed information item, said method comprising:

associating a user and an information item accessed by said user;

delaying provision to said user of a prompt to provide feedback on accessed information item until a later time that is dependent upon said accessed information item;

assigning a first context to said accessed information item;

monitoring a current second context of said user; and

determining the later time by identifying a time when said current second context matches assigned first context.

17. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

updating a trust indication to take account of feedback provided by said user in response to provided prompt.

18. The method of claim 6, wherein said later time is additionally dependent upon a user profile.

19. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

updating a user profile of said user based on said feedback.

20. The method of claim 6, wherein a reward is provided to said user when said user provides feedback.

7. An apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store a data structure associating a user and an information item accessed by said user; and

processing circuitry arranged to use the accessed information item to determine a later time and arranged to provide, at said later time, a prompt to provide feedback on said accessed information item, and arranged to use received feedback to update a trust indication associated with said information item.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising an input for receiving feedback.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said processing circuitry is arranged to use a user profile to determine said later time.

10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said processing circuitry is arranged to assign a first context to said information item;

to monitor a current second context of said user; and

to determine a present time as said later time when said current second context matches assigned first context.
