Patent ID: 8205166

Claim:
A method for assisting in the organization of information accessed through a web browser, comprising the steps of: capturing at least one item of information accessed through the web browser in a first web-browsing behavior; visually representing the captured at least one item of information in a defined organizational area of a display; calculating a relevance index for at least one item of information of a second web-browsing behavior; and conveying the relevance index for the at least one item of information of the second web-browsing behavior to a user of the web browser; wherein the calculated relevance index is based on comparing the captured at least one item of information, which was found on the web browser in the first web-browsing behavior, to the at least one item of information from the second web-browsing behavior to inform the user of the web browser of relevant connections between the captured at least one item of information and the second web-browsing behavior; further wherein the calculated relevance index is computed based on a relevance metric which comprises converting the captured at least one item of information and one or more other captured items of information that are within a given relational neighborhood of the captured at least one item of information to respective textual content segments, and comparing the respective textual content segments with a textual content segment representing the at least one item of information from the second web-browsing behavior, and wherein the relevance metric is recomputed for a subsequent item of information accessed via the web browser.
