Graphical user interface for an information mediation system
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to;
collect information from a plurality of information sources, the information sources being connected over a communication network,analyze the collected information using a statistical method,derive, using the analysis and information values of the collected information, an information value space,generate data for displaying a commonality between the information sources, represented by respective display objects, in the information value space, the commonality being represented by a location of one display object in the information value space relative to a location of another display object in the information value space, and the data including a display object for each information source,analyze natural sentences from the collected information and extract words from the natural sentences that match a predetermined condition,analyze the extracted words to determine an amount of correlation between the information sources,generate a base word and a coordinate value for the base word that represent the correlation, andtransmit the data, the information value space, and the base word to a client device for display.

Abstract
A graphical user interface for an information mediation system is provided for assisting the user to discover an information source that matches a sense of value of the user which normally can not be explicitly expressed in language, from a plurality of information sources such as bulletin board sites. The information mediation apparatus collects information from the plurality of information sources, analyzes the information, and generates one or more guideposts corresponding to information values thereof and data indicating a correlation between the plurality of information sources relative to the guideposts. A client apparatus receives one or more guideposts and a set of data containing information indicating the correlation of the information sources relative to the guidepost from the information mediation apparatus, and displays the correlation between these information sources in such a mode that the user can easily understand.

10. A method comprising:
-
collecting information from a plurality of information sources, the information sources being connected over a communication network, analyzing the collected information using a statistical method, deriving, using the analysis and information values of the collected information, an information value space, generating data for displaying a commonality between the information sources, represented by respective display objects, in the information value space, the commonality being represented by a location of one display object in the information value space relative to allocation of another display object in the information value space, and the data including a display object for each information source, analyzing natural sentences from the collected information and extract words from the natural sentences that match a predetermined condition, analyzing the extracted words to determine an amount of correlation between the information sources, generating a base word and a coordinate value for the base word that represent the correlation, and transmitting the data, the information value space, and the base word to a client device for display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
