Systems and methods for multi-protocol, multi-format universal searching
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions, which, upon execution by at least one or more processing units, cause the one or more processing units to:
- obtain a first plurality of data objects for a first user, wherein the first plurality of data objects comprises;
one or more data objects in each of a first plurality of formats; and
one or more data objects sent or received via each of a first plurality of protocols;
designate a first plurality of message objects, each message object corresponding to at least a portion of a data object from among the first plurality of data objects;
create one or more associations between one or more of the first plurality of message objects;
receive a query from the first user requesting at least one message object from the first plurality of message objects;
generate one or more index search terms based, at least in part, on the received query;
generate a set of one or more search results including one or more message objects from among the first plurality of message objects, in response to the generated one or more index search terms,wherein the set of one or more search results set is based, at least in part, on one or more index parameters for one or more of the generated one or more index search terms, andwherein at least one of the one or more index parameters is determined individually for the first user;
determine from a syntax of one or more communications of the first user that an expression has a meaning corresponding to a first index search term; and
create an index parameter based on the expression and assign it to each data object corresponding to the first index search term.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for performing multi-format, multi-protocol personalized searching in a manner that is most beneficial for the individual user. Personalized searching can be achieved by obtaining a plurality of data objects for a first user. The data objects can exist in a wide variety of formats and can be received via a number of protocols. One or more message objects can be created for each of the data objects, according to a standardized format and stored. The universal message objects can be indexed in a manner that is personal to the user, and in accordance with one or more parameters that can be updated on an ongoing or periodic basis, in accordance with the actions of the user, or any combination thereof.

8. A system, comprising:
-
a memory; and one or more processing units, communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the memory stores instructions to cause the one or more processing units to; obtain a first plurality of messages for a first user, wherein the first plurality of messages comprises; one or more data objects in each of a first plurality of formats; and one or more data objects sent or received via each of a first plurality of protocols; create one or more associations between one or more of the first plurality of messages; receive a query from the first user requesting at least one message from the first plurality of messages; generate one or more index search terms based, at least in part, on the received query; generate a set of one or more search results in response to the generated one or more index search terms, wherein the result set is based, at least in part, on one or more index search parameters for one or more of the generated one or more index search terms, and wherein at least one of the one or more index search parameters is determined individually for the first user; determine from a syntax of one or more communications of the first user that an expression has a meaning corresponding to a first index search term; and create an index parameter based on the expression and assign it to each data object corresponding to the first index search term. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
obtaining a first plurality of data objects for a first user, wherein the first plurality of data objects comprises; one or more data objects in each of a first plurality of formats; and one or more data objects sent or received via each of a first plurality of protocols; designating a first plurality of message objects, each message object corresponding to at least a portion of a data object from among the first plurality of data objects; creating one or more associations between one or more of the first plurality of message objects; receiving a query from the first user requesting at least one message object from the first plurality of message objects; generating one or more index search terms based, at least in part, on the received query; generating a set of one or more search results including one or more message objects from among the first plurality of message objects, in response to the generated one or more index search terms, wherein the set of one or more search results set is based, at least in part, on one or more index parameters for one or more of the generated one or more index search terms, and wherein at least one of the one or more index parameters is determined individually for the first user; determining from a syntax of one or more communications of the first user that an expression has a meaning corresponding to a first index search term; and creating an index parameter based on the expression and assign it to each data object corresponding to the first index search term. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
