Abstract

Presented is a method, system and computer readable product to search a task-based web interaction. A task-based web interaction search query is provided to a search engine. The search results are classified into a set of information parameters. The information parameters are compared against a repository containing multiple sets of information parameters. Upon identification of a corresponding set of information parameters, a task-based web interaction associated with the identified set of information parameters is presented.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method of searching a task-based web interaction, comprising:
providing a task-based web interaction search query to a search engine;
obtaining search results from the search engine;
classifying search results into a set of information parameters, wherein the set of information parameters relates to the task-based web interaction provided in the search query, and the set of information parameters includes a keyword information parameter and a uniform resource location information parameter;
comparing the information parameters against a repository containing multiple sets of information parameters, wherein each set of information parameters corresponds to a task-based web interaction, to identify at least one task-based web interaction corresponding to the set of information parameters related to the task-based web interaction provided in the search query; and
presenting the at least one identified task-based web interaction.

2. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising building the repository containing the multiple sets of information parameters, wherein the building of the repository comprises:
extracting at least one uniform resource locator from a task-based web interaction;
providing the at least one uniform resource locator as a search query to a search engine;
obtaining search results from the search engine;
classifying search results into a set of information parameters;
associating the set of information parameters with the task-based web interaction; and
storing the association between the set of information parameters and the task-based web interaction in the repository.

3. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the task-based web interaction represents a user's interaction with the web for performing a task.

4. A method according to claim 3 , wherein the user's interaction with the web for performing a task includes at least one user action over the web.

5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein presenting at least one identified task-based web interaction includes personalizing the presentation with user parameters.

6. A method according to claim 5 , wherein the user parameters includes one of the following: a user's geographical location or a user's past web interaction.

7. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the repository includes at least one of the following: a user's personal repository, a social network's repository or a web based repository.

8. A method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one identified task-based web interaction is presented in the form of a ranking.

9. A method of claim 8 , wherein the ranking is based on type of repository whereby sets of information parameters present in a user's personal repository is given more weight over sets of information parameters present in a web based repository.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium including machine readable instructions executed by at least one computer processor to:
provide a task-based web interaction search query to a search engine;
obtaining search results from the search engine;
classify search results into a set of information parameters, wherein the set of information parameters relates to the task-based web interaction provided in the search query, and the set of information parameters includes a keyword information parameter and a uniform resource location information parameter;
compare the information parameters against a repository containing multiple sets of information parameters, wherein each set of information parameters corresponds to a task-based web interaction, to identify at least one task-based web interaction corresponding to the set of information parameters related to the task-based web interaction provided in the search query; and
present the at least one identified task-based web interaction.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 wherein the machine readable instructions comprise instructions to:
build the repository containing the multiple sets of information parameters, wherein the instructions to build the repository comprise instructions to:
extract at least one uniform resource locator from a task-based web interaction;
provide the at least one uniform resource locator as a search query to a search engine;
obtain search results from the search engine;
classify search results into a set of information parameters;
associate the set of information parameters with the task-based web interaction; and
store the association between the set of information parameters and the task-based web interaction in the repository.

12. A system for searching a task-based web interaction, comprising:
a memory for storing a repository;
an input system for providing a task-based web interaction search query to a search engine;
a processor for obtaining search results from the search engine; classifying search results into a set of information parameters, wherein the set of information parameters relates to the task-based web interaction provided in the search query, and the set of information parameters includes a keyword information parameter and a uniform resource location information parameter; comparing the information parameters against a repository containing multiple sets of information parameters, wherein each set of information parameters corresponds to a task-based web interaction, to identify at least one task-based web interaction corresponding to the set of information parameters related to the task-based web interaction provided in the search query; and
a display for presenting the at least one identified task-based web interaction.

13. A system according to claim 12 , wherein the repository includes at least one of the following: a user's personal repository, a social network's repository or a web based repository.
