SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING NETWORK RESOURCE INTERACTION AND IMPROVED SEARCH RESULT REPORTING
First Claim
1. A system for prioritizing network content using information captured from interactions of one or more users with a network resource, the system comprising:
- a network-connected server that receives captured information from an agent that is provided in a computing device connected to the network, wherein the captured information relates to an interaction of a user with a network resource;
an aggregator that aggregates the captured information with other information related to interactions with a plurality of network resources and that maintains a repository of aggregated captured information; and
a prioritizer that determines relevance of network content based on characteristics of the aggregated captured information, wherein the interactions with the plurality of network resources include at least one of a copy and a mouse-over event.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for intercepting user interactions without network-provided content. The intercepted information can be used for prioritizing search results by statistical and other analyses of user interactions with a network resource and/or network content. A server connected to a network can receive captured information from an agent that is installed in a device connected to the network. The captured information can be related to an interaction of a user with a network resource. An aggregator may be provided to aggregate the captured information with other captured information related to a plurality of network resources and maintains a repository of aggregated captured information. A prioritizer can determine the relevance of network content based on characteristics of the aggregated captured information. The prioritizer determines relevance for a plurality of search results based on frequency of prior user interactions with the content of the search results.

12. A method of processing search results, wherein the method is implemented in a computer system comprising one or more processors configured to execute one or more computer program modules, the method comprising:
-
executing, on the one or more processors of the computer system, one or more computer program modules configured to maintain a history of events representative of interactions by a plurality of users with content provided by one or more network resources; executing, on the one or more processors of the computer system, one or more computer program modules configured to determine relevance of results of a search using the history of event information, wherein the relevance is determined based on frequencies of interactions with individual results of the search; and executing, on the one or more processors of the computer system, one or more computer program modules configured to reorder the search results based on relevance, wherein the interactions represented in the history of events includes interactions with portions of content that do not include links, and the interactions represented in the history of event information include copying and selection of portions of content. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
