IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2006-07-06
Abstract: A data handling device has access to a store of existing metadata pertaining to existing documents having associated metadata terms. It analyses the metadata to generate statistical data as to the co-occurrence of pairs of terms in the metadata of one and the same document. When a fresh document is received, it is analysed to assign to it a set of terms and determine for each a measure of their strength of association with the document. Then, for each term of the set, a score is generated that is a monotonically increasing function of (a) the strength of association with the document and of (b) the relative frequency of co-occurrence of that term and another term that occurs in the set; metadata for the fresh document are then selected as the subset of the terms in the set having the highest scores.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant à des acheteurs, à des vendeurs et des entreprises d'expédition (ou à des transporteurs) d'échanger des marchandises, des services et des communications via un système fourni par une partie tierce, qualifiée de médiateur. Cette invention permet en particulier à des acheteurs de sélectionner librement leur procédé d'expédition d'un transporteur indépendant afin d'expédier des marchandises achetées auprès de vendeurs. Cette invention permet aussi à des vendeurs de céder leurs opérations d'expédition à des transporteurs indépendants afin de se recentrer davantage sur leur activité principale. Enfin, cette invention permet à des transporteurs de contourner le vendeur de marchandises, agissant comme des intermédiaires, afin de promouvoir librement leurs services auprès d'acheteurs. Ce système permet à toutes les parties d'interagir au moyen de dispositif informatique avec une capacité de recherche sur le web. Le médiateur fournit une plate-forme de commerce électronique dans laquelle des vendeurs enregistrent leurs marchandises à vendre, et des transporteurs publient leurs procédés d'expédition et leurs tarifs, afin que les acheteurs puissent faire leur choix. Lorsqu'un acheteur passe une commande, le vendeur doit confirmer la commande reçue avec les caractéristiques du colis, par exemple le poids et les dimensions du colis, qui sont utilisées pour calculer les options d'expédition disponibles pour ce colis spécifique chez des transporteurs indépendants. Ces options d'expédition calculées sont présentées à un acheteur qui, ensuite, sélectionne les procédés d'expédition qui lui conviennent. Ensuite, le transporteur sélectionne est contacté et il reçoit des informations d'expédition du colis, comprenant le prix de l'expédition estimé que le transporteur peut accepter ou modifier. Lorsqu'un accord d'expédition est trouvé, le système programme automatiquement l'enlèvement du colis et les dates de livraison et en fait part à toutes les parties concernées. L'acheteur effectue un paiement au médiateur, agissant comme organisme de règlement, pour les marchandises achetées et les coûts d'expédition. Ensuite, à la date d'enlèvement programmée, le transporteur se rend chez le vendeur pour prendre le colis et le livrer au moyen du procédé d'expédition choisi par l'acheteur. Lorsque le colis est livré, le vendeur est crédité du solde des marchandises, tandis que le transporteur est crédité des coûts de l'expédition. Le médiateur facture aussi une commission au vendeur des marchandises et au transporteur, rétribuant cette transaction facilitée.
