According to the patent application documents obtained by Reuters in May 5, Google Inc., a leader in the online search industry, has applied for U.S. and international patents for technologies that sort the news of its website based on the quality of news sources.
Google's search engine currently automatically retrieves about 4,500 news sources and highlights important news based on popularity and timeliness. However, the company did not disclose the complete details of the sorting system.
Industry observers said that over time, Google News content has become more dependent on well-known News providers.
A Google spokesman confirmed that the company had applied for the above patents, but refused to comment on whether the company would use the technology or whether it was already using it.
Google's patent application technology may help the company select the most reliable news source. However, some network critics point out that it will make it biased towards mainstream news sources.
New network acceleration software launched by Google
Today, Google's search engine is incredibly fast. It is said that Google has enabled the company's powerful computing capabilities to speed up internet surfing for its users. Google Web Accelerator came into being in this way. It can speed up Web page loading through company machines and select browser behavior.
Google Web Accelerator uses many different methods to speed up Web page browsing. For example, if a frequently browsed page is injected into the cache and the page is updated, Google refresh it once, this eliminates the need to reload unnecessary page content. Google points out that this software is especially beneficial to width users because it uses prefetching and other technologies, the Web Accelerator assumes that the content at the top of the search results will be browsed (even if this is not the case) and downloads these pages first. Google has long used similar technologies for Mozilla Firefox users.
Google acknowledges that this software involves some potential private information, but it does not submit information to unencrypted websites when processing requests such as secure websites, Cookies, and passes, this information may be temporarily stored by Google. The company has already set up a private page for the software to collect information.
This software seems to be a web browsing acceleration, but it is actually a proxy server program. You don't need to set anything, you can greatly browse the foreign web pages, and you can break through China Telecom's IP address blocking, browse some websites blocked by China Telecom.
