Abstract: A method determines core geographical information in a document by computing a score for each geographical name found in the document. The computation of the score uses the appearance frequency of the respective geographical name and positional weights assigned to various types of appearance positions of the geographical name in the document. The system determines the core geographical information in the document based on the scores of the geographical names found in the document. The method may further compute aggregated scores of geographical regions related to the geographical names and determine the core geographical information using both the aggregated scores of geographical regions and the scores of individual geographical names to increase accuracy.

Abstract: An extraction device includes a first housing, a second housing slidably received in the first housing for receiving a memory card, an engaging member, a processor, communicating pins, an identifying pin, an elastic member and a popping delay member. The engaging member engages with the second housing or disengages from the second housing. The communicating pins and the identifying pin respectively connect with communicating pin connecting portions and an identifying pin connecting portion in the second housing. The elastic member drives the second housing away from the first housing when the engaging member is disengaged from the second housing. The popping delay member delays the second housing from popping out of the first housing when the identifying pin disconnects from the identifying pin connecting portion. The processor executes a program when the identifying pin and the identifying pin connecting portion are disconnected.
