  • Patent number: 10909309
    Abstract: A system and method includes receiving content of an electronic document having a document type, the content divided into components each having a unique identifier and selecting an extraction schema based on the document type, the extraction schema having a plurality of data categories. For each of the components, the extraction schema is applied to identify content of the component that corresponds to individual ones of the data categories and saving, with the processor, in an electronic data storage, in a record associated with the component, category metadata indicative of content of the component corresponding to the data categories. In response to obtaining the category metadata for each of the components, applying the extraction schema to the content metadata of each of the components and to the electronic document as a whole to determine document metadata. A user interface displays the document metadata on the user interface.

  • Patent number: 10699065
    Abstract: A system and method includes receiving an electronic document having content divided into components and, for each of the components, comparing content of the component with component content characteristics of a classification schema associated with a document type and storing, in an electronic data storage, in a record associated with the component, indications of the component content characteristics of the classification schema that are included in the component. Document content characteristics of the classification schema are compared with the content of the electronic document and storing, in the electronic data storage, in a record for the electronic document, indications of the document content characteristics of the classification schema that are included in the electronic document. The electronic document is identified as the document type based on the content characteristics of the records meeting a document type criteria.

  • Patent number: 10579716
    Abstract: A system and method includes obtaining content extracted from an electronic document, the electronic document having a document type. At least some of the content is transmitted to an online social networking system based on the document type. A recommended content change is received from the online social networking system. A user interface dynamically displays the recommended content change concurrently with display of the electronic document as the electronic document is updated.

  • Publication number: 20190138610
    Abstract: A system and method includes receiving an electronic document having content divided into components and, for each of the components, comparing content of the component with component content characteristics of a classification schema associated with a document type and storing, in an electronic data storage, in a record associated with the component, indications of the component content characteristics of the classification schema that are included in the component. Document content characteristics of the classification schema are compared with the content of the electronic document and storing, in the electronic data storage, in a record for the electronic document, indications of the document content characteristics of the classification schema that are included in the electronic document. The electronic document is identified as the document type based on the content characteristics of the records meeting a document type criteria.
