New Search Patent Applications: October 6, 2006 - Google Takes Over the Patent Office
There were some interesting new patent applications this week from Yahoo, Microsoft, and IBM, but nothing on the scale of the outpouring of intellectual property published and assigned to Google - I uncovered 15 new patent applications from the Mountain View search giant. I'll address patent applications from those others in a later post. This post looks at Google's filings.
Some of the topics covered include:
Natural language questions and answers from a search engine,
Query rankings and mid-page refinements,
A detailed personalization system,
Advertising and email contacts amongst members of a social network,
Bringing together advertisers and advertising agents,
Addressing different audience segments with ads,
Improving the value of pay-per-impression advertising,
Data embedded in hardware devices to help target advertisments, and;
Sharing Settings and other data across browsers (and Office applications)..."
