20090019356 | Intelligent Text Annotation - Text is intelligently annotated by first creating a topic map summarizing topics of interest of the user. A data structure is created. The topic map is used to create two linked user dictionaries, a topic dictionary reflecting topic names and a traversal dictionary reflecting the knowledge structure of a topic. Actions may be linked with topic types. When the text to be annotated is being read, the topic data structure of the topics found in the text are automatically instantiated using the dictionaries and any actions previously linked to topic types. Instantiated topic data structures are automatically attached to the text being annotated. A user GUI may be created to allow the user to access and interact with the text annotations. | 01-15-2009 |
20090183066 | AUTOMATICALLY GENERATING DYNAMIC DOCUMENTATION FROM PRODUCT CONFIGURATION - A method and apparatus for automatically generating dynamic documentation from a product's configuration related data in a product configuration. A transformation engine incorporates a dynamic documentation mechanism that uses the product configuration file and other information to automatically generate dynamic documentation. In order to automate the creation of dynamic documentation, a new type of annotation element called a “tutorial annotation” is inserted into the product configuration file. The dynamic documentation mechanism provides dynamic documentation such as walk-through tutorials, configuration help, and animations based on the product configuration file and information stored in the tutorial annotations. The dynamic documentation mechanism ascertains a dynamic flow by reading the tutorial annotations and stepping through all of the relationships or dependencies of the product configuration file associated with the software product. The transformation engine then presents the dynamic documentation information in a tutorial fashion (e.g. step by step tutorial using animation). | 07-16-2009 |
20090193327 | HIGH-FIDELITY SCALABLE ANNOTATIONS - Technologies are described herein for providing high-fidelity scalable annotations. Annotations made to meeting content during a hosted online meeting are recorded separately from the meeting content itself. At playback time, the annotations are rendered separately from the meeting content. Because the annotations are rendered separately from the meeting content at playback time, the annotations can be scaled without loss of clarity and visual effects can be applied to the annotations independently of the meeting content. | 07-30-2009 |
20090193328 | Aspect-Based Sentiment Summarization - Reviews express sentiment about one or more entities. Phrases in the reviews that express sentiment about a particular aspect are identified. Reviewable aspects of the entity are also identified. The reviewable aspects include static aspects that are specific to particular types of entities and dynamic aspects that are extracted from the reviews of a specific entity instance. The sentiment phrases are associated with the reviewable aspects to which the phrases pertain. The sentiment expressed by the phrases associated with each aspect is summarized, thereby producing a summary of sentiment associated with each reviewable aspect of the entity. The summarized sentiment and associated phrases can be stored and displayed to a user as a summary description of the entity. | 07-30-2009 |

It is determined whether a markup language (ML) document used to render the web content includes an existing page anchor proximate to an item reference within the ML document. The hypertext link is configured based upon the determination of whether the ML document includes the existing page anchor proximate to the item reference within the ML document. The configured hypertext link is returned in response to the request. | 12-30-2010 |
20110320925 | USER INTERFACE WITH INBOX MODE AND DOCUMENT MODE FOR SINGLE INPUT WORK FLOW ROUTING - A user interface for a portable computing device provides two modes of operation. In a first mode, an inbox of all documents accessible by the portable computing device are presented. Each of the items in the inbox is selectable, and if selected, the user interface transitions to a second document presentation mode. In the document presentation mode, the user may annotate the document and upon providing a single input (selecting a submit button), the system automatically forwards the document (including the annotations) to the next state in the workflow. If the user transitions back to the inbox mode from the document presentation mode, no action is taken on the document but the strokes are stored with the document on the portable computing device. | 12-29-2011 |
20120060082 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ANNOTATING ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS - A computer-implemented method of annotating an electronic document may include receiving annotation information corresponding to a first electronic document file and creating annotation metadata that is associated with the annotation information. The method may further include storing the annotation information and associated annotation metadata in an annotation file that is separate from the first electronic document file, and anchoring the annotation information to a target electronic document file at an anchor location corresponding to the annotation metadata. The annotation metadata may be generated by assigning a target offset value to individual neighboring tokens defining an annotation neighborhood, wherein the target offset values correspond to positions of the neighboring tokens with respect to an annotation location within the first electronic document file. The annotation metadata may also comprise topographic patterns that are compared between source and target documents to determine the anchor location. | 03-08-2012 |

20150082142 | METHOD FOR STORING AND APPLYING RELATED SETS OF PATTERN/MESSAGE RULES - This invention provides a method and apparatus for efficiently storing and applying related sets of pattern/message rules that are used to analyse and annotate blocks of text. Where sets of rules can include other sets, representations of the sets that speed analysis can contain significant redundancy and add to the consumption of memory. In a one aspect of the invention, all rules are represented in a single pattern-matching data structure (which is applied to a block of text to find all matches by all rules) and the rulesets are represented using boolean vectors (one of which is used to filter the matches) which are compressed by identifying common subspans. In a further aspect of the invention, each ruleset is represented by its own pattern-matching data structure, and these are compressed by identifying common parts. In each aspect, the effect is to allow the creation of a data structure that can speed up matching without consuming excessive memory. | 03-19-2015 |
