  • Patent number: 8005665
    Abstract: A method of extracting significant phrases from one or more documents stored in a computer-readable medium. A sequence of words is read from the one or more documents and a score is determined for each word in the sequence based on the length of the word. The score for each word in the sequence is compared against a threshold score. The sequence of words is indicated to be a significant phrase if the number of words in the sequences that have a score greater than the threshold score equals or exceeds a predetermined number. A sentence containing the sequence of words is retrieved from the document, if the sequence of words is a significant phrase. An abstract of the document is searched to determine if the sentence has been previously included in the abstract. If not, the sentence is added to the abstract.

  • Patent number: 5913215
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for identifying one of a plurality of documents stored in a computer-readable medium are disclosed. The method includes the steps of prompting a computer-user to construct a search expression, then communicating the search expression to each of a plurality of search engines located at respective World Wide Web sites. Each of the plurality of search engines is prompted to concurrently identify a respective plurality of web pages containing text consistent with the search expression and to return a respective URL for each such web page identified. Redundant URLs returned by the search engines are filtered to obtain an initial set of web pages. Each of the initial set of web pages is downloaded and linguistically analyzed to automatically identify for the computer-user keyword phrases therein. The computer-user is prompted to construct a query expression in which one or more keyword phrases from the initial set of web pages is an operand.

  • Patent number: 5721897
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for identifying one of a plurality of documents stored in a computer-readable medium is disclosed. The method includes the steps of automatically identifying for a user key word phrases in the plurality of documents, prompting the user to construct a query expression in which at least one of the keyword phrases is an operand, and identifying one of the plurality of documents based on the query expression. The identified document is presented to the user in the form of an abstract. Identification of the keyword phrases and generation of the abstract are accomplished by linguistically analyzing the plurality of documents. In addition, an improved user interface provides the capability to display either or both key words and key phrases on the display screen in separately scrollable display areas. These separately scrollable display areas are dynamically sized to render visible the selected text.
