    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and systems for extracting referential keys from a document are provided. A document is parsed to identify at least one key, the key being identified from at least one contextual indication. The key is classified according to a key type, the key type being identified from the contextual indication. The key is extracted and then stored in a location in a structured shell with the location corresponding to the key type. As a result, the key can be found by a search seeking one of the key and the key type allowing a searcher to identify the document from which the key was extracted.

  • Publication number: 20080189596
    Abstract: A method for adding intelligent-graphic display elements to a non-intelligent-graphic display includes: (a) in no particular order: (1) generating a first data file containing a plurality of first display objects representing the non-intelligent-graphic display in a first data format; (2) providing a second data file containing a plurality of second display objects representing selected intelligent-graphic display elements in a second data format; and (3) providing an objects recognizer tool; the objects recognizer tool recognizing substantial correspondence between respective first display objects and respective selected second display objects; and (b) employing the objects recognizer tool with the first data file and the second data file to generate a resulting data file. The resulting data file includes a third plurality of display objects representing at least a portion of the non-intelligent-graphic display in the second format.
