Webpage scoring method incorporating energy consumption and environmental ratings
The patent US12072949B2 introduces a novel webpage scoring method designed to enhance search engine functionality by evaluating the energy consumption associated with presenting webpage content. This method involves assessing various factors, including network traffic, the number of codes, images, and videos on a target webpage, as well as their respective file sizes. By analyzing these elements, the method generates an energy consumption feature that reflects the environmental impact of the webpage. Additionally, the method incorporates environmental rating information, which can indicate the degree of association between the webpage content and environmental protection. This information is then utilized to present search results in a user-friendly interface, allowing users to make informed decisions based on the environmental ratings.
Furthermore, the patent outlines the capabilities of an electronic device that implements this scoring method. The device is equipped with a display, storage for a search engine, and a processor that performs the necessary evaluations and analyses. It can detect environmental features within the webpage content, such as keywords or sentences related to environmental protection, to further refine the environmental rating information. The search results can be sorted based on these ratings, ensuring that users are presented with options that align with their environmental values. Overall, this patent aims to promote environmentally conscious web browsing by integrating energy consumption metrics and environmental ratings into the search experience.
