Abstract
Abstract Network browsing is facilitated by receiving a document from the network containing content; extracting conceptual information from the content of the document; analyzing the extracted conceptual information semantically; and assimilating the extracted conceptual information into an index based on structural relationships among the extracted conceptual information and semantic data in a stored lexicon.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
A computer-implemented method for accessing documents from a network, comprising: providing a browser for accessing documents from the network; registering a request for an active view corresponding to a designated term; intercepting a request to access a first document; determining whether the first document includes the designated term; automatically accessing a second document, wherein the second document is referenced in the first document; determining whether the second document includes the designated term; and automatically updating the active view to indicate the presence of the designated term in the first document if the first determination is positive and to indicate the presence of designated term in the second document if the second determination is positive.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
A computer-implemented method for accessing documents from a network, comprising: providing a browser for accessing documents from the network; registering a request for an active view corresponding to a designated term; intercepting a request to access a first document; determining whether the first document includes the designated term; automatically accessing a second document, wherein the second document is referenced in the first document; determining whether the second document includes the designated term; and automatically updating the active view to indicate the presence of the designated term in the first document if the first determination is positive and to indicate the presence of designated term in the second document if the second determination is positive.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of updating the active view includes automatically displaying the active view.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the document, wherein the displayed document includes a visual indication of a portion of the document including the designated term.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
72 words
A system for accessing documents from a network, comprising: a conceptual index identifying specific terms and corresponding locations within documents where specific terms can be found; a browser for accessing documents from a network; and a proxy server for automatically updating the conceptual index to reflect a location within at least one new document for at least one of the specific terms when the browser accesses the new document from the network.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
72 words
A system for accessing documents from a network, comprising: a conceptual index identifying specific terms and corresponding locations within documents where specific terms can be found; a browser for accessing documents from a network; and a proxy server for automatically updating the conceptual index to reflect a location within at least one new document for at least one of the specific terms when the browser accesses the new document from the network.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
The system of claim 4 , further comprising: an active view registered with the proxy server to be displayed when updating the conceptual index.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
117 words
A method for accessing information from a network comprising the steps, performed by a processor, of: retrieving from the network a document containing content in response to a user's request; monitoring the user's behavior accessing documents from the network; extracting conceptual information from the content of the retrieved document in a manner reflecting the user's behavior; analyzing the extracted conceptual information semantically; and assembling an index of the extracted conceptual information that reflects relations based on semantic data in a stored lexicon, wherein the extracting step includes: assembling a queue containing references to additional documents referenced in the retrieved document; and reordering the references to additional documents assembled in the queue based on the monitored user's behavior.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
117 words
A method for accessing information from a network comprising the steps, performed by a processor, of: retrieving from the network a document containing content in response to a user's request; monitoring the user's behavior accessing documents from the network; extracting conceptual information from the content of the retrieved document in a manner reflecting the user's behavior; analyzing the extracted conceptual information semantically; and assembling an index of the extracted conceptual information that reflects relations based on semantic data in a stored lexicon, wherein the extracting step includes: assembling a queue containing references to additional documents referenced in the retrieved document; and reordering the references to additional documents assembled in the queue based on the monitored user's behavior.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
101 words
A method for accessing information from a network comprising the steps, performed by a processor, of: retrieving from the network a document containing content in response to a user's request; monitoring the user's behavior accessing documents from the network; extracting conceptual information from the content of the retrieved document in a manner reflecting the users behavior; analyzing the extracted conceptual information semantically; and assembling an index of the extracted conceptual information that reflects relations based on semantic data in a stored lexicon, Wherein the monitoring step comprises: embedding in the retrieved document a plug-in to enable monitoring of the user's behavior.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
101 words
A method for accessing information from a network comprising the steps, performed by a processor, of: retrieving from the network a document containing content in response to a user's request; monitoring the user's behavior accessing documents from the network; extracting conceptual information from the content of the retrieved document in a manner reflecting the users behavior; analyzing the extracted conceptual information semantically; and assembling an index of the extracted conceptual information that reflects relations based on semantic data in a stored lexicon, Wherein the monitoring step comprises: embedding in the retrieved document a plug-in to enable monitoring of the user's behavior.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
128 words
A system for accessing documents from a network, comprising: a browser for receiving, from a user, requests to access documents from a network and displaying accessed documents; a network server; a proxy for intercepting the user's requests; an index controller for controlling activity of the proxy and monitoring activity of the browser; an index identifying specific terms and corresponding locations within documents where specific terms can be found; a lexical database; and an index server for indexing information and documents in the index based on the lexical database, wherein the proxy sends the intercepted requests to the network server, receives accessed documents from the network server, modifies each document by embedding a plug-in into the document, and provides each modified document to the browser and the index controller.
Claim 13
Independent Claim
128 words
A system for accessing documents from a network, comprising: a browser for receiving, from a user, requests to access documents from a network and displaying accessed documents; a network server; a proxy for intercepting the user's requests; an index controller for controlling activity of the proxy and monitoring activity of the browser; an index identifying specific terms and corresponding locations within documents where specific terms can be found; a lexical database; and an index server for indexing information and documents in the index based on the lexical database, wherein the proxy sends the intercepted requests to the network server, receives accessed documents from the network server, modifies each document by embedding a plug-in into the document, and provides each modified document to the browser and the index controller.
