Method and system for communicating with internet resources to identify and supply content for webpage construction

摘要

A process and system are directed to generating a medium without user involvement in supplying the content. A user makes a series of increasingly granular selections to specify the type of medium to be built, such as a webpage. A query-reply communications protocol is used to identify relevant content for building the webpage from network resources. A resource is queried to determine whether the resource contains any relevant content. The response from the resource, if affirmative, includes the requested content. The query communications are formulated to conduct a keyword type search of the resource. The resource response includes the search results.
