  • Patent number: 10650089
    Abstract: A system provides on a computer display screen, a graphical image of an initial parsing as generated by a computerized algorithm. Individual clauses are encased in expandable graphical elements that a human user can manipulate on the display screen using an input device in furtherance of improving the initial parsing. The expandable graphical elements have particular spatial and visual interrelationships in keeping with the initial text parsing, human user interactions with the expandable graphic elements captured so as to convert the human-based interactions with these graphical elements into additional machine-readable text and mark-up that can be usable for other machine-based text processes. The system, in addition to being a parsed text/editor interface, thereby functions as an intuitive, visual conduit for dynamic human-machine text analysis collaboration.

  • Patent number: 9940317
    Abstract: A system provides on a computer display screen, a graphical image of an initial parsing as generated by a computerized algorithm. Individual clauses are encased in expandable containers that a user can shift and resize on the screen using a mouse or other cursor control device to thereby improve the initial parsing.

  • Patent number: 7861163
    Abstract: A computer executable process for simultaneous visual depiction of plural text hierarchies of a visually displayable machine readable text, including provisions for a visual cue as to a location of a user select text within the simultaneous visual depiction of plural text hierarchies is provided. A text hierarchy is extracted for a reader select text of a machine read text accessible by at least a data processing portion of a data processing and display system. Units of a select element of elements of the text hierarchy are formatted for display and displayed upon a display of the data processing and display system. A portion of text of the machine read text present in the select unit of a select element of elements of the text hierarchy is selected such that when said selected portion of text is present in a particular hierarchical representation, units the select element of elements of the text hierarchy are selectively of moved or positioned.

  • Patent number: 7765471
    Abstract: Reading product fabrication methods and devices are provided. Characteristic of the methods is the extraction of text specific attributes from machine readable text, and varying the text presentation in accordance with the attributes. Parts of speech and punctuation of a sentence are identified, with folding rules, which use the parts of speech to determine folding points, applied. The sentence is divided into text segments based upon the folding points, and horizontal displacement rules applied to create displayed text characterized by a cascading appearance.
