Apparatus and Method for Comparing and Statistically Extracting Commonalities and Differences Between Different Websites

摘要

The statistics from a reference page serves as a seed to compare the selected page statistics between other webpages. The statistics of all results can be graphically displayed, if desired, in a display or popup window. These results can be analyzed for the determination of a category so an appropriate search expression or a statistical mask can be developed. In addition, statistics of several pages and compare and analyze the results for search term commonality. This step determine how strongly tied the scanned data content of two different webpages are to each other. These results can be analyzed against each other to generate common search terms, a final histogram, and how this histogram compares to the reference histogram. The search expression term can be a Boolean expression or a statistical mask. The statistical mask is used as a seed to start another search moving closer to the final target or desire goal.
