System and method for providing tag-based relevance recommendations of bookmarks in a bookmark and tag database
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- storing in a bookmark database a plurality of bookmark packages associated with a plurality of users, wherein a bookmark package comprises at least one bookmark and at least one tag that indicates a topic of interest associated each of the bookmarks;
identifying a first user having a first set of bookmark packages stored in the bookmark database;
determining a level of relatedness of a second user, having a second set of bookmark packages, to the first user by determining a number of overlapping bookmark packages associated with a plurality of tags stored in the bookmark database by the first user and the second user;
determining a level of value of the second user to the first user by determining a number of nonoverlapping bookmark packages stored in the bookmark database between the first user and the second user, wherein the number of nonoverlapping bookmark packages represents an additional amount of bookmarks packages stored in the bookmark database by the second user that do not overlap the set of first bookmarks;
determining whether the nonoverlapping bookmark packages are related to the topic of interest by comparing the tags in the bookmark packages; and
generating a second user score based on the number of overlapping and nonoverlapping bookmark packages where the second user has a level of relatedness exceeding a predetermined threshold and a level of value exceeding a second predetermined threshold; and
presenting at least a portion of the related nonoverlapping bookmark packages to the first user, wherein the portion of the related nonoverlapping bookmark packages is based upon the second user score.

Abstract
A method comprises identifying a first user having stored in a database a set of first bookmarks associated with a topic of interest; determining a level of relatedness of a second user to the first user by comparing a first number of overlapping bookmarks that were stored in the database by the second user and that overlap the set of first bookmarks; determining a level of value of the second user to the first user by comparing a second number of related nonoverlapping bookmarks that were stored in the database by the second user, that relate to the topic of interest, and that do not overlap the set of first bookmarks; and presenting at least a portion of the related nonoverlapping bookmarks to the first user.

6. A system, comprising:
-
a bookmark database in communication with a recommendation manager for identifying a first user having stored in the bookmark database a set of first bookmark packages corresponding to a topic of interest, the bookmark packages including a bookmark and at least one tag associated with the bookmark; and a processor for; identifying a first user having a first set of bookmark packages stored in the bookmark database; determining a level of relatedness of a second user, having a second set of bookmark packages, to the first user by determining a number of overlapping bookmark packages associated with a plurality of tags stored in the bookmark database by the first user and the second user; determining a level of value of the second user to the first user by comparing a second number of nonoverlapping bookmark packages that were stored in the bookmark database by the second user, wherein the second number of nonoverlapping bookmark packages represents an additional amount of bookmark packages stored in the bookmark database by the second user that do not overlap the set of first bookmarks; determining whether the nonoverlapping bookmark packages are related to the topic of interest by comparing the tags in the bookmark packages; generating a second user score based on the number of overlapping and nonoverlapping bookmark packages where the second user has a level of relatedness exceeding a predetermined threshold and a level of value exceeding a second predetermined threshold; and a storage module for storing a user overlap determination file in the bookmark database, and presenting at least a portion of the related nonoverlapping bookmark packages to the first user, wherein the portion of the related nonoverlapping bookmark packages is based upon the second user score. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system comprising:
-
means for identifying a first user having stored in a bookmark database a set of first bookmarks, each of the first bookmarks including at least one tag that indicates a topic of interest associated with each of the bookmarks; means for identifying a second user having stored in the bookmark database a second set of bookmarks, each of the second bookmarks including at least one tag that indicates the topic of interest associated with each of the bookmarks; for each of the first bookmarks and second bookmarks, means for generating bookmark packages using the bookmarks and the associated tags; means for identifying a first user having a first set of bookmark packages stored in the bookmark database; means for determining a level of relatedness of a second user to the first user by determining a number of overlapping bookmark packages associated with a plurality of tags stored in the bookmark database by the first user and the second user; means for determining a level of value of the second user to the first user by determining a number of nonoverlapping bookmark packages stored in the bookmark database between the first user and the second user, wherein the second number of nonoverlapping bookmark packages represents an additional amount of bookmark packages stored in the bookmark database by the second user that do not overlap the set of first bookmarks; means for determining whether the nonoverlapping bookmark packages are related to the topic of interest by comparing the associated tags in the bookmark packages; means for generating a second user score based on the number of overlapping and nonoverlapping bookmark packages where the second user has a level of relatedness exceeding a predetermined threshold and a level of value exceeding a second predetermined threshold; means for storing a user overlap determination file in the bookmark database; and means for presenting at least a portion of the related nonoverlapping bookmarks packages to the first user, wherein the portion of the related nonoverlapping bookmark packages is based upon the second user score.
