  • Patent number: 10025769
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a two-dimensional graphical grid representation of the treatment of a document are disclosed. A method includes receiving a request to generate the two-dimensional graphical grid representation of the treatment of the document with respect to at least one variable. In response to the received request, the method further includes retrieving, by a computer, treatment information associated with the document with respect to the at least one variable from a database. The method further includes generating a message containing the retrieved treatment information of the document with respect to the at least one variable, transmitting the generated message, and providing for display the two-dimensional graphical grid representation of the treatment of the document with respect to the at least one variable based on the transmitted message.

  • Patent number: 9946700
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing for display a map that graphically represents the association among documents are disclosed. A method for providing for display a map that graphically represents the association between a first document and a second document that analyzes the first document includes receiving, at a computer, a request to generate the map. The method further includes retrieving, from a database, analysis information related to the way in which the second document analyzed the first document, in response to the received request. The method further includes providing for display the map. The map includes a first node, a second node, and a connector. The first node corresponds to the first document. The second node corresponds to the second document. The connector graphically links the first node and the second node. The second node includes a graphical representation of the analysis information.

  • Patent number: 8196053
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating information about a document. In one implementation, a method retrieves a citation from the document in a first database and retrieves the information about the document from a second database. The method also includes converting, by a processor, the information into metadata and generating an icon from the metadata. The icon graphs treatments of the document over time. The method also includes sending the icon for display in response to a query.
