Patent number: 9069731Abstract: Apparatus and method for automatic adaptation of an image of a print page into a version suitable for an electronic screen. An input obtains an electronic image of a page of the print publication, the page comprising items, such as headlines, images and articles, arranged in a print version layout. A layout parser parses the page layout, the parsing comprising identifying the items arranged therein, including identifying boundaries of the items within the layout, and text belonging to the items. A text sizing unit selects text sizes for respective items to render the items readable when the text is shown on screen as part of the page. The resized text may no longer fit into the boundaries so a text flowing unit flows text of the item dynamically, thereby to provide an electronic screen version of the image of the page, the screen version retaining the print version layout and having text sized to be readable when shown on a screen.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2010Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Olive Software Inc.Inventors: Yonatan P.

Patent number: 6810136Abstract: A system and a method for the conversion of archived documents to a digital format and storage of the data extracted in repositories which may be easily extracted and searched by a user over a network such as the Internet. The data is preferably stored in the form of microfilm, although optionally the present invention could be operative with other types of physical media, such as microfiche, paper and any type of printed material. The microfilm data is preferably divided and/or grouped into at least one file. Optionally and preferably, each file undergoes the following automatic processing stages: combining files; analyzing image layout; segmentation; OCR; optional segmentation improvement; and output to XML, or another suitable output data format and/or language. In the last stage, the data contained in the files is preferably extracted and then more preferably transmitted to the relevant repository unit.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2002Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignee: Olive Software Inc.Inventors: Yonatan P.
