First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a personal entity preference model of a user accessed according to user notification criteria;
a selection component that selects content for each of the entities obtained from a search based on predicted relevance to the user notification criteria;
a notification component that sends the content to the user as notifications for presentation of the content; and
a microprocessor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with at least one of the preference model, the search component, or notification component.

Abstract
Architecture that performs the automatic modeling of user preferences for entities (a personal entity preference model) based on user'"'"'s actions such as search history and temporal search behavior to determine content on the web relevant and of interest to a given user at any given time. Explicit and implicit user responses (e.g., notification clicks, ignore, dismiss, unsubscribe, notification dwell) are used to update the model of user entity preferences. The user entity preference model is used to order notifications based on predicted relevance. Additionally, the user personal entity preference model and implicit responses of user are used to decide timing and frequency of notifications.

16. A computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform acts of:
-
selecting entities of a personal entity preference model of a user based on user notification criteria; searching for content related to the entities; selecting content for each of the entities based on predicted relevance to the user notification criteria; computing timing and frequency of notifications to be sent to the user based on the personal entity preference model; sending the content to the user as the notifications for presentation in a user interface based on the timing and frequency; and presenting the notifications in an ordered manner. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
