Abstract
A method of providing content from an internet server to an internet user based on the user's internet navigation history. The method begins with the step of installing a profile decoder, including a profile library, on the server. The profile decoder maps server content to content categories contained in the profile library. The server then receives a communication from a user then in internet communication with the server, at least a portion of that communication including an encrypted summary of user navigation history. The server then processes the user communication in the profile decoder to identify user content preferences by matching user content preferences with available server content, employing the profile server. Finally, the server provides content to the user based on the user's identified preferences.
Description
METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONTENT TO AN INTERNET USER BASED ON THE USER'S DEMONSTRATED CONTENT PREFERENCES
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of market research, and in particular, it relates to the use of user behavior to define content offered to that user. [0002] The technique of gathering information about consumer behavior on the internet was set out in commonly-owned U.S. Patent Application No. 11/226,066, entitled "Method and Device for Publishing Cross-Network User Behavioral Data" filed on 14 September 2005. (the '"066" application). That application is incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.
[0003] The technique of the '066 Application teaches how information about user behavior on the internet can be gathered. In sum, that application teaches that a behavior module can reside on a user computer, which module can observe and record user behavior in terms of keystrokes, mouse clicks and so on. Also, the behavior module can also observe information about websites visited by the user. In conjunction with software incorporated into the behavior module, data about the web site or web page can be analyzed and the site categorized into one of a set of categories defined by the behavior module. Information identifying the category, as well as information about the user's navigation behavior, such as the when the site was visited, how much time was spent there, and what the user did, can also be gathered by the behavior module. Finally, the behavior module can summarize the information and compact it into a form suitable for transmission, such the form generally known as a "cookie."
[0004] What is not taught by the '066 application, and not seen in the art, is an understanding of how to employ such information to provide content to a user based on what that user wants to see. It remains to the present invention to provide such functionality to the art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] An aspect of the present invention is a method of providing content from an internet server to an internet user based on the user's internet navigation history. The method begins with the step of installing a profile decoder, including a profile library, on the server. The profile decoder maps server content to content categories contained in the
profile library. The server then receives a communication from a user then in internet communication with the server, at least a portion of that communication including an encrypted summary of user navigation history. The server then processes the user communication in the profile decoder to identify user content preferences by matching user content preferences with available server content, employing the profile server. Finally, the server provides content to the user based on the user's identified preferences.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0011] The following detailed description is made with reference to the figures.
Preferred embodiments are described to illustrate the present invention, not to limit its scope, which is defined by the claims. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize a variety of equivalent variations on the description that follows.
[0012] An embodiment of the process by which the present invention can provide integrated content to a user is illustrated in Fig. 1. As seen there, the process involves the interaction between three entities, a host company 12, a user 14 and an internet source 16. The first entity develops and provides the software employed in the remainder of the process and cooperates in the process operation. The user can be any entity making use of the internet, most often an individual. The last entity is a source of content on the internet. Such sources fall into several groups, based on the orientation of the internet site being operated. One type is an internet website oriented to a single company or
product, such as CNN or Ford. Another type is a website that serves as a retail operation, such as PC Connection or Amazon. A third type operates a portal, which serves as a gateway to other content, examples of which are Yahoo! or Lycos. A final distinct type of site is the search-oriented site, such as Google or Alta Vista. Other sites are hybrids of these types, or are in the act of morphing from one type to another. [0013] All of these website types, however, generally seek to attract and hold users' attention, whether to sell products or to promote user presence on the site and exposure to advertising on the site. It has been found by the assignee of the present invention that improved information about user preferences can be derived directly from user behavior, as set out in the '066 Application. The disclosure of that application sets out the use of a behavior tracking module, resident on a user computer, which records user actions as well as information concerning the website being visited. [0014] Such behavior tracking modules are developed by the host company and then installed on user computers, as shown in step 102. on the user computer, the module tracks user actions on the internet, as seen in step 104, and then summarizes that behavior in step 106.
[0015] As shown in Fig. 2, a behavior tracking module can collect and summarize data on the range of user behavior on the internet, hi the example shown, the user has engaged in interactive activities, such as posting photographs online, as well as reading about a number of subject areas, such as movie reviews, pregnancy and home / food / health issues. In addition, the module can draw inferences from certain behaviors. If one visits a number of sites featuring a single product, for example, the module infers that the user is shopping for that item.
[0016] The module summarizes the behavior data into a profile 22, encrypts the profile to ensure security, and prepares it for transmission. Such a transmission can take a number of forms. The '066 Application focused on the well-known medium of cookies, which are widely employed for this purpose, but a number of other formats are available. A drawback of cookies is that space is limited, and standard formats permit only a limited amount of data. That drawback can be overcome by substituting direct internet communication, utilizing email facilities such as SNMP. [0017] In parallel with deployment of behavior tracking modules to user computers, the host company develops and deploys custom profile library software for internet source providers, as seen in Fig. 1, step 108. That software is deployed directly to an internet source provider's server, in step 110. This software bridges the systems
used by the host for categorizing subject matter (as explained in the '066 Application) and the system employed by the internet source provider for organizing its own content or products. Step 112 calls for the custom profile library to map content from the provider system to the library.
[0018] The mapping process is shown more clearly in Fig. 3. There, category information from the host company is shown in column 24. As can be seen, for example, digital photography is classified by the host company as category 1453, movie reviews as category 3756, as so on. Column 28 shows the way that the provider organizes content. That organization can take a number of forms, but here it is a hierarchical, index format, with digital photography, for example, being indexed under the Business and Economy general subject, and then into Shopping and Services, followed by Photography, and then Digital. The custom profile library maps these two organizations to each other, as shown in column 26. The technical implementation of such a mapping operation can be entirely conventional, with the result that step 112, Fig. 1, produces a library that is prepared to accept category information based on the schema adopted by the host company, and instantly associate that information with content stored on the provider server. [0019] Fig. 4 depicts the operations that occur when a user 50 having a resident behavior tracking module 52 logs onto an internet provider server 56 having a host profile library 58 running on the same. As part of the logon handshake routine, the user computer sends an encrypted message 54 to the server. This message can take the form of a cookie or another form of message, as discussed above.
[0020] The server profile library processes the user message (Fig. 1, step 114) and it identifies content of interest to the user, based on the user's recent behavior. Just as the method of the '066 Application presents a long step from conventional market research, in terms of the precision of the data offered, the present invention takes that another distance by trimming the time factor almost to real time. Indeed, this method offers the possibility that the user could come directly from a series of sites on which she was shopping for, say an SUV. The profile library can identify that pattern and is prepared to offer the user content geared to exactly that behavior. [0021] Fig. 5 illustrates how a portal website could take advantage of the information provided by the system of the present invention. Based on the knowledge gained from the message transmission, the provider can offer a user screen 60 on which the menu block 62 is oriented toward automobile, movie and health information. The personalized block 64 is aimed specifically at such content, and the "buzz log" portion is
aimed at pregnancy-related subjects. An SUV advertisement 68 is positioned on the right side of the screen, as is a "marketplace" section featuring digital cameras. [0022] It is important to note that the high degree of personalization achieved by the screen 60 is not the result of user settings, a process that is invariably cumbersome and thus seldom actually kept up to date. Rather, this customization is a direct result of user behavior. Indeed, it is highly probably that at least some of the customization stems directly from user actions taken at the site immediately preceding logon to the present site. A content provider cannot ask for information more timely or accurate than that. [0023] While the present invention is disclosed by reference to the preferred embodiments and examples detailed above, it is understood that these examples are intended in an illustrative rather than in a limiting sense. It is contemplated that modifications and combinations will readily occur to those skilled in the art, which modifications and combinations will be within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the following claims. [0024] We claim as follows:
