Abstract: A method and system for processing electronic documents. A temporary computer object is created. An address of a first electronic document is obtained. A first tag, a second tag, and the address of the first electronic document are copied into a header of the created temporary computer object. Selected text from the first electronic document is obtained. The first and second tag respectively mark the beginning and the end of the header. The address of the first electronic document is disposed between the first and second tags. The selected text and a third tag are copied into the created temporary computer object. The third tag marks the end of the created temporary computer object. The selected text is disposed between the header of the created temporary computer object and the third tag. The created temporary computer object is stored in a second electronic document.

Abstract: By asking the recipient of an encrypted received file to read aloud a check text, retrieved from a network server, that address, or URL, is encoded within the file name of the encrypted received file, the system of the invention automatically verifies the identity of the recipient, confirms that the file has been received by the intended recipient, and then decrypts the file. The utterances of text spoken by the recipient are processed by means of an automatic speech recognition component. The system determines whether the spoken text corresponds to the check text presented to the reader, in which case the system applies an automatic speaker recognition algorithm to determine whether the person reciting the check text has voice characteristics matching those of the intended recipient based on a previous enrollment of the intended recipient's voice to the system.

Abstract: A method and systems for copying textual objects from source documents into an object document, and for tagging, linking and processing said copied textual portions, including the disclosure of a new type of hyperlinking mechanism, for enabling to identify and trace the sources and the authorship of said copied textual portions or of all textual sub-portions or fragments of text that could be generated from said copied textual portions by editing the object document. The invention can be implemented by means of software implementing the disclosed system and method running on word-processors and web browsers.

Abstract: A user system for detection and access of hyperlinks within a Braille document. A hyperlink table is generated and includes for each touched item on a page of the Braille document: identification of the touched item, a hyperlink associated with the touched item, and spatial coordinates of the touched item on the page of the Braille document. After the hyperlink table is generated, a proximity sensing foil placed under a Braille page senses the position of a user's fingertips and provides coordinates of the sensed position on the Braille page. A distance between the sensed position and spatial coordinates stored in the hyperlink table is determined to be less than a predetermined distance, resulting in alerting the user via a signal, identifying a hyperlink in the hyperlink table associated with the sensed position, retrieving information from a destination address associated with the identified hyperlink, and displaying the retrieved information.
