First Claim
Patent Images
1. A link association analysis system comprising:
- a link database configured to store a link object that includes a pointer to a linked content and a link creator identifier that identifies a human link creator; and
a link analysis engine computing device coupled with the link database and configured to;
determine a context related to a surrounding content location where the pointer is presented and the linked content;
derive an underlying reason representing a motivation of the human link creator to create a link between surrounding content of the surrounding content location and the linked content via the pointer;
instantiate an association reason object derived from the context and the underlying reason; and
configure an output device to present the association reason object.

Abstract
Link association analysis systems are presented. Disclosed systems are configured to analyze links created by users and to determine possible reasons underpinning why a user would create such a link. The system derives such reasons by analyzing the context within which the link was created and to which the link points, and then presents the reasons as a data object to users for feedback. The system can be made to be self-refining by collecting survey data regarding its accuracy, so that the more users interact with the system, the more accurate the system is at deriving reasons for link creation.
