Information categorisation systems, modules, and methods

摘要

An information categorization system comprising: a potential recipient output harvesting module configured to harvest information content generated by a potential recipient; a potential recipient profile generation module configured to generate a recipient profile representing one or more likely interests of the potential recipient; a comparison module adapted to receive an information content profile representative of content of information content to be categorized and, in response to receipt of the information content profile, to compare the information content profile with the recipient profile to determine a match indicating the potential recipient is likely to be interested in the information content; and an information categorization module configured to categorize the information content into information content for which the comparison module has either determined or failed to determine a match between the information content profile and the recipient profile.

主权项

1. An information categorisation system comprising a computer configured to:
receive location information from a first potential recipient, the location information representing the location of information content generated by the first potential recipient and to passively harvest at least a portion of the information content, the first potential recipient being associated with a first industry category of a plurality of industry categories; generate a first recipient profile representing one or more likely interests of the first potential recipient, the one or more likely interests being determined by the passively harvested information content for the first potential recipient, wherein the information content comprises a document which is any of an article, an entry in a RSS feed, a webpage, a status update, a social networking entry, a microblog entry, a blog entry, an email, or published information content; generate a second recipient profile representing one or more likely interests of a second potential recipient, the second potential recipient being associated with the first industry category and the second recipient profile being derived from the first recipient profile; receive an information content profile representative of content of the information content and, in response to receipt of the information content profile, compare the information content profile with the second recipient profile to determine a match indicating that the second potential recipient is likely to be interested in the information content; and categorise the information content into information content for which a match has been determined between the information content profile and the second recipient profile, and information content for which a match has not been determined between the information content profile and the second recipient profile.
