Cole in view of Daviel

1. A computer implemented method
of categorizing a network page,
comprising:

Cole discloses a categorizing system for network pages,
implemented on a computer: “A computer system identifies web
pages of interest to a client. The system comprises a cataloging
function which defines a hierarchy of subject categories, logically
arranges a multitude of web pages in the categories and
periodically adds web pages to the categories.” Cole at Abstract;
Cole at col. 2, ll. 35-41.
Daviel also discloses a method for categorizing network pages:
“This memo describes a simple syntax for describing the
copyright status of a World-Wide-Web document in a machinereadable way. When implemented in a Web browser it provides
an unambiguous notification when permission must be sought to
print or copy material obtained from the network.” Daviel at
Abstract.
The motivation to combine the references may be found in the
common knowledge of those skilled in the art, the prior art as a
whole, and/or the nature of the purported problem itself. Cole and
Daviel both disclose systems that categorize network pages
Therefore, the motivation to combine the references in inherent in
the references.

[a] providing a list of categories,
wherein said list of categories
include a category for transacting
business and a category for
providing information, and wherein
said list of categories include a
category based on copyright status
of material on a page;

Cole discloses providing a list of categories: “The system
comprises a cataloging function which defines a hierarchy of
subject categories, logically arranges a multitude of web pages in
the categories and periodically adds web pages to the categories.”
Cole at col. 2, ll. 35-41.
“The cataloging form supports both hierarchical and key word
searching, and lists the broad categories 42—recreation, arts,
business, science, education . . . obtained from the cataloging
function.” Cole at col. 4 ll. 35-38.
Daviel discloses that META tags (i.e., labels) can be used to
provide a category on copyright status:
“Documents on the World-Wide-Web may have varied copyright
status. While a human-readable copyright notice is usually
included in copyrighted documents, this is usually transparent to
automated retrieval agents. This memo describes a simple syntax
for defining the copyright status of a document using an HTTP

header or HTML META tag. Agents implementing this protocol
may refuse to print or save a tagged document, or may display an
informational message.” Daviel at § 1.
[b] assigning said network page to
one or more of said list of
categories;

Cole discloses assigning network pages to one or more categories
provided by the system: “The system comprises a cataloging
function which defines a hierarchy of subject categories, logically
arranges a multitude of web pages in the categories and
periodically adds web pages to the categories.” Cole at col. 2, ll.
36-40.
“In the illustrated embodiment, 30 the key word search also
utilizes cataloging function 20, but alternately could use a
different key-word search engine provided the engine assigns a
category to each data web page and is periodically updated with
new data web pages.” Cole at col. 5, ll. 30-34; see also Cole at
col. 9, ll. 5-9.
Daviel also discloses that META tags can be used to assign
network pages to categories:
“This memo describes a simple syntax for defining the copyright
status of a document using an HTTP header or HTML META
tag.” Daviel at § 1.

[c] providing a categorization label
for the network page using the
copyright status of material on the
network page; and

Cole discloses indicating the categorization label for the network
page to the user:
“Typically, the client will proceed further down the hierarchy by a
repetition of selections from the current web page (decision 239)
in which case, the processing loops back to step 220. Each time
the client is furnished with the corresponding cataloging form
comprising hot links to a list of subcategories and hot links to data
web pages. However, at any category in the hierarchy which
includes a hot link to a data web page, the client can also select
the hot link to the data web page (client step 241).” Cole at col. 5,
ll. 13-21; see also Cole at col. 8, ll. 56-64; Cole at Fig. 5.
“These results [from step 332 of Fig. 7] include a list of titles of
the data web pages which include the key word and the category
of each of the data web pages referenced by the hot links. Then,
profile building function adds the header and footer to the results
and sends the html to client 12 (step 334).” Cole at col. 5, ll. 5459; see also Cole at col. 9, ll. 21-27.
Daviel also discloses that labels are provided to a network page

[d] controlling usage of the network
page using the categorization label
and the copyright status of the
network page.

“This memo describes a simple syntax for defining the copyright
status of a document using an HTTP header or HTML META
tag.” Daviel at § 1.
Cole discloses indicating the categorization label for the network
page to the user:
“Typically, the client will proceed further down the hierarchy by a
repetition of selections from the current web page (decision 239)
in which case, the processing loops back to step 220. Each time
the client is furnished with the corresponding cataloging form

and sends the html to client 12 (step 334).” Cole at col. 5, ll. 5459; see also Cole at col. 9, ll. 21-27.
Daviel describes controlling usage of the network page:
“2.1 Protocol
A protocol version is defined. This memo defines version 1.0.
Three copyright-significant actions are defined: print, save and
quote. "Print" refers to making a hard copy of a document, or
saving a printer-ready version. "Save" refers to saving a source
version of a document to non-volatile media. "Quote" refers to
including a portion of a document in a new document. Three
numeric levels are defined: 0 - disallowed, 1 - conditionally
allowed, 2 - unconditionally allowed.
The copy-control directive consists of a list of actions and levels,
together with a URL. The URL points to a document describing
the copyright status in detail. Action names may be abbreviated to
one character. The directive may be given as an HTTP header or
as an HTML META tag. The following are valid directives:
Copy-Control: version 1.0 print 2 save 2 quote 2

action. If the level is one, the browser should generate a warning
message. If the level is two, no message is generated. Where a
message is generated, it should contain a hyperlink to the URL
given in the directive, if any. Typical messages might be:
"This document is copyright. You are not allowed to print it. See

provide a category on copyright status:
“Documents on the World-Wide-Web may have varied copyright
status. While a human-readable copyright notice is usually
included in copyrighted documents, this is usually transparent to
automated retrieval agents. This memo describes a simple syntax
for defining the copyright status of a document using an HTTP
header or HTML META tag. Agents implementing this protocol
may refuse to print or save a tagged document, or may display an
informational message.” Daviel at § 1.
Daviel lists typical examples of copyright statuses that inherently
include the claimed categories:
“Typical messages might be:
"This document is copyright. You are not allowed to print it. See
http://some.org/nocopy.html for details."
"This document is copyright. You are allowed to save it subject to
certain restrictions. See http://some.org/copy.html for details."

"This document is copyright. You are allowed to quote portions of
it subject to certain restrictions. See http://some.org/copy.html for
details."” Daviel at § 2.2.
[b] assigning said network page to
Cole discloses assigning network pages to one or more categories
one or more of a plurality of said list provided by the system: “The system comprises a cataloging
of categories;
function which defines a hierarchy of subject categories, logically
arranges a multitude of web pages in the categories and
periodically adds web pages to the categories.” Cole at col. 2, ll.
36-40.
“In the illustrated embodiment, 30 the key word search also
utilizes cataloging function 20, but alternately could use a
different key-word search engine provided the engine assigns a
category to each data web page and is periodically updated with
new data web pages.” Cole at col. 5, ll. 30-34; see also Cole at
col. 9, ll. 5-9.
Daviel also discloses that labels can be used to assign network
pages to categories:
“This memo describes a simple syntax for defining the copyright
status of a document using an HTTP header or HTML META
tag.” Daviel at § 1.
[c] providing a categorization label
for the network page using the
copyright status of material on the
network page; and

Cole discloses indicating the categorization label for the network
page to the user:
“Typically, the client will proceed further down the hierarchy by a
repetition of selections from the current web page (decision 239)
in which case, the processing loops back to step 220. Each time
the client is furnished with the corresponding cataloging form
comprising hot links to a list of subcategories and hot links to data
web pages. However, at any category in the hierarchy which
includes a hot link to a data web page, the client can also select
the hot link to the data web page (client step 241).” Cole at col. 5,
ll. 13-21; see also Cole at col. 8, ll. 56-64; Cole at Fig. 5.
“These results [from step 332 of Fig. 7] include a list of titles of
the data web pages which include the key word and the category
of each of the data web pages referenced by the hot links. Then,
profile building function adds the header and footer to the results
and sends the html to client 12 (step 334).” Cole at col. 5, ll. 5459; see also Cole at col. 9, ll. 21-27.
Daviel also discloses that labels are provided to a network page

[d] controlling usage of the network
page using the categorization label
and the copyright status of the
network page.

Cole discloses indicating the categorization label for the network
page to the user:
“Typically, the client will proceed further down the hierarchy by a
repetition of selections from the current web page (decision 239)
in which case, the processing loops back to step 220. Each time

“These results [from step 332 of Fig. 7] include a list of titles of
the data web pages which include the key word and the category
of each of the data web pages referenced by the hot links. Then,

and sends the html to client 12 (step 334).” Cole at col. 5, ll. 5459; see also Cole at col. 9, ll. 21-27.
Daviel describes controlling usage of the network page:
“2.1 Protocol
A protocol version is defined. This memo defines version 1.0.
Three copyright-significant actions are defined: print, save and
quote. "Print" refers to making a hard copy of a document, or
saving a printer-ready version. "Save" refers to saving a source
version of a document to non-volatile media. "Quote" refers to
including a portion of a document in a new document. Three
numeric levels are defined: 0 - disallowed, 1 - conditionally
allowed, 2 - unconditionally allowed.
The copy-control directive consists of a list of actions and levels,
together with a URL. The URL points to a document describing
the copyright status in detail. Action names may be abbreviated to
one character. The directive may be given as an HTTP header or
as an HTML META tag. The following are valid directives:
Copy-Control: version 1.0 print 2 save 2 quote 2
Copy-Control: v 1.0 p 0 s 0 q 1 URL http://some.org/copy.html
Copy-Control: v 1.0 p 1 s 1 q 2 u http://some.org/copy.html
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Copy-Control" CONTENT="v 1.0 p 2 s

2 q 2">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Copy-Control" CONTENT="version
1.0 print 0 save 0 quote 1 url http://some.org/nocopy.html">
2.2 Implementation
In a user agent such as a Web browser, the copy-control actions
would correspond to the browser actions of printing, saving to
file, and transferring to clipboard. If the level defined for the
requested action is zero, the browser should refuse to perform the
action. If the level is one, the browser should generate a warning
message. If the level is two, no message is generated. Where a
message is generated, it should contain a hyperlink to the URL
given in the directive, if any. Typical messages might be:
"This document is copyright. You are not allowed to print it. See
http://some.org/nocopy.html for details."
"This document is copyright. You are allowed to save it subject to
certain restrictions. See http://some.org/copy.html for details."
"This document is copyright. You are allowed to quote portions of
it subject to certain restrictions. See http://some.org/copy.html for
details."
The URL would normally also be included in a readable copyright
notice.” Daviel at §2.1-2.2.
