NETWORK RESOURCE INTERACTION DETECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. :
- A method of processing user interactions with content obtained from a network, the method being performed by one or more processors communicatively coupled to the network, the method comprising;
detecting an implicit user interaction with an element of the content on a device that displays the content, the implicit user interaction including at least one of a mouse over implicit interaction with the element and a selection of implicit interaction with the element;
extracting at least one search term from the element, wherein the at least one search term comprises a plurality of words extracted from the element, and wherein there are fewer than eight words in the plurality of words;
automatically causing a search to be performed using the at least one search term; and
displaying one or more selected links on the display device, wherein the one or more links are selected based on the at least one search term, andwherein the one or more selected links includes at least one result of the search.

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.

- An agent adapted for use in conjunction with a browser on a computer, the agent comprising data and instructions that, when stored in the memory of the computer and subsequently executed by a processor of the computer, cause the computer to;
detect an implicit user interaction with an element of content displayed by the browser, the implicit user interaction including at least one of a mouse over implicit interaction, a copying implicit interaction and a selection implicit interaction; extract a search term comprising between 1 and 7 words included in the element; automatically cause a search to be performed using the search term; and display one or more selected links including at least one result of the search, wherein the one or more links are selected using the search term. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. :
- A method of capturing implicit user interactions with content displayed in a browser, comprising communicating an agent to the browser, wherein the agent includes data and instructions that, when executed by a processor that hosts the browser, cause the processor to;
detect an implicit user interaction with an element of content displayed by the browser, the implicit user interaction including at least one of a mouse over of words included in the element, a selection of words included in the element and a copying of words included in the element; extract a search term from the words included in the element; automatically initiate a search using the search term; and display one or more selected links including at least one result of the search, wherein the one or more links are selected using the search term, and wherein the words included in the element comprise up to seven words. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
