  • Publication number: 20020040338
    Abstract: In an on-line financial screening service, a database of financial and intellectual property information is searched to find at least one financial security matching user defined financial search criteria. Selection preferences for a financial security are defined as search criteria. The financial search criteria includes but is not limited to the following: Stock Price, Price/Earnings Ratio, Current Ratio, Debt/Equity Ratio, Cash/Price ratio, Earnings per Share Growth-1 Yr, Earnings per Share Growth-5 Yr, Insider Trades, Institutional Holdings %, Price/Book Ratio, Price/Cash Flow Ratio. The databases are repeatedly searched for records matching the financial selection criteria preferences of the user. Financial securities meeting the users search criteria are then matched to an intellectual property database to determine the number of patents a financial security has been issued.

  • Patent number: 6041331
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a method for extracting information from a plurality of documents for display. Information is extracted from a set of documents according to a set of pre-defined categories. A visual representation of the extracted information is provided to a user, who can apply one or more filters to the information in order to produce for display a visual representation of information content in the filtered information.

  • Patent number: 6026388
    Abstract: Techniques for generating sophisticated representations of the contents of both queries and documents in a retrieval system by using natural language processing (NLP) techniques to represent, index, and retrieve texts at the multiple levels (e.g., the morphological, lexical, syntactic, semantic, discourse, and pragmatic levels) at which humans construe meaning in writing. The user enters a query and the system processes the query to generate an alternative representation, which includes conceptual-level abstraction and representations based on complex nominals (CNs), proper nouns (PNs), single terms, text structure, and logical make-up of the query, including mandatory terms. After processing the query, the system displays query information to the user, indicating the system's interpretation and representation of the content of the query. The user is then given an opportunity to provide input, in response to which the system modifies the alternative representation of the query.
