  • System and method for dynamic organization of information sets
    Patent number: 10380231
    Abstract: An electronic pasteboard allows users to organize multiple documents in a single visual interface. After placing documents on the pasteboard, users can drag and drop portions (paragraphs, words, figures, images, graphs) from one document to another document, or create a new document combining elements from several source documents. Users can create tables or an index for grouping together individual documents, or elements of documents. Each original source document can be saved individually, with tags added related to the user defined groupings. The entire pasteboard with content from all the source documents can be saved or printed out. Likewise, selected groupings on the pasteboard can also be saved or printed out.
