Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to and claims priority from and is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/40,773, filed Mar. 9, 2009, entitled DOCUMENTS DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF, which claims priority from U.S. provisional patent application Ser. 61/034,625, filed Mar. 7, 2008, entitled INTERFACE, U.S. provisional patent application Ser. 61/096,655, filed Sep. 12, 2008, entitled INFORMATION MANAGEMENT TOOL, all these documents are incorporated herein by reference. The present invention also relates to United States Patent Application Publication No.: US 2007/0214169 A1, published Sep. 13, 2007, entitled MULTI-DIMENSIONAL LOCATING SYSTEM AND METHOD and relates to United States Patent Application Publication No.: US 2007/0271508 A1, published Nov. 22, 2007, entitled MULTI-DIMENSIONAL LOCATING SYSTEM AND METHOD. All these documents are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- This invention relates generally to a computer system and more specifically to a user interface providing methods that facilitate information management and organization. More precisely, the present invention relates to attributes association with information elements and documents.
- United States Patent Application Publication No.: US 2007/0214169 A1, published on Sep. 13, 2007 teaches a Multi-dimensional locating system and method (title). United States Patent Application Publication No.: US 2007/0271508 A1, published on Nov. 22, 2007 teaches a Multi-dimensional locating system and method (title). Both patent applications teach ways of managing and displaying documents on arrays of documents. What is taught in these documents have deficiencies.
- For instance, one of the deficiencies becomes apparent when a first array of documents presents a group of documents having various attributes (or tags, categories . . . ) associated therewith. When selecting an attribute, either by selecting the attribute, or a document to select an attribute associated therewith, a second array of documents is enabled and displayed. The second array of documents, being either displayed non-parallel or parallel with the first array of documents, groups documents from the first array of documents having the selected attribute in common. Some documents from the first array of documents associated with the selected attribute will therefore appear a second time on the second array of documents. Displaying many times the same documents on different arrays of documents might be confusing for a user.
- Another deficiency becomes apparent when a user wants to infer the attribute(s), value or the status of a document just by seeing a document. A document can be associated with a color associated therewith, however, the information transmitted by a color is not enough to properly translate more complex status or value of a document.
- The meaning of a color or a pattern associated with a document is arbitrary. It might be desirable to use a color and a pattern that are already known in a complete non-analogous field and use the color and the pattern with documents to reduce the effort required to understand the meaning inferred by colors and patterns associated with documents.
- Another deficiency becomes apparent when attributes, or tags, are used to categorize documents according to subjects, topics, categories or other means for linking to documents additional related information or documents. Attributes are associated with documents to categorize the documents and create a link among documents sharing the same attribute. This could be called a first-degree relationship. Thus, attributes are used to retrieve documents associated therewith. So, by selecting an attribute it is possible to retrieve the documents having the selected attribute associated therewith.
- In certain circumstances it could be useful to draw a link between two documents, inter alia, that don't share a common attribute. It is therefore desirable to have a way to connect one document to another document despite they are not sharing any common attributes.
- Another deficiency becomes apparent when multiple attributes are associated with documents. It can easily become time consuming to individually associate a plurality of attributes with documents.
- One other deficiency becomes apparent when multiple attributes having substantially similar meaning are used. A query based on a specific attribute is unlikely to retrieve documents associated with another attribute despite the other attribute has a substantially similar meaning.
- The prior art computer systems or computer interfaces have not provided solutions to deal with the aforementioned deficiencies and each of these deficiencies in the prior art yield a demand for an improved information managing system and method using an intuitive and natural way to visually present information as well as improved ways to manage associations between the documents.
- The following presents a simplified summary of the disclosure in order to provide a basic understanding to the reader. This summary is not an exhaustive or limiting overview of the disclosure. The summary is not provided to identify key and, or critical elements of the invention, delineate the scope of the invention, or limit the scope of the invention in any way. Its sole purpose is to present some of the objects and aspects disclosed in a simplified form, as an introduction to the more detailed description that is presented later.
- The word “document” is used throughout the present specification to facilitate its readability. It is nonetheless not intended to restrict or limit the scope of the present specification to documents. The present specification is mainly directed to computer systems and provides improvements that are useable for managing documents, electronic documents, menu items, application windows and other user-selectable elements displayed on a user graphical interface. The applicant therefore reserves the rights to define claimed subject matters to, inter alia, the above identified elements that could be represented on a user-graphical interface.
- The present specification refers to “arrays of documents” although arrays of documents can have various forms. In an embodiment the array of documents can have a substantially linear shape disposing documents along a timeline. In another possible embodiment the array can be a curved line along which documents are displayed. Alternatively, the array can dispose documents on a matrix having a plurality of columns and rows.
- Methods of managing information and graphical user interfaces are carried on by computer-readable instructions that are enabled on a computer. Nowadays computers are used everywhere; they come in various shapes and devices. Computers are so popular, inter alia, because they transform into a variety of dedicated purpose computers depending on the instructions they use. De facto, a general purpose computer is of little help until it has dedicated useful instructions defining its functioning. Once it uses dedicated instructions defining its functions, the dedicated purpose computer is adapted to manage data, to transform graphical rendering of information, to exchange data, in other words the computer using dedicated instructions is material in the transformation of data, the management of the process of transformation and the graphical representation of the process of transformation and the result of the process of transformation for a user to appreciate and, possibly, act upon.

- The following discussion provides a brief, general description of an exemplary computer apparatus in which at least some aspects of the present invention may be implemented. The present invention will be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a computerized device. However, the methods of the present invention may be affected by other apparatus. Program modules may include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, applets, WEB 2.0 type of evolved networked centered applications, etc. that perform a task(s) or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that at least some aspects of the present invention may be practiced with other configurations, including hand-held devices, multiprocessor system, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network computers, minicomputers, set top boxes, mainframe computers, gaming console and the like. At least some aspects of the present invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices linked through a communications network as exemplified in
FIG. 2 . In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in local and/or remote memory storage devices. - With reference to
FIG. 3 , anexemplary apparatus 100 for implementing at least some aspects of the present invention includes a general purpose computing device in the form of acomputer 120 or in the form of a computerized portable apparatus. Thecomputer 120 may include aprocessing unit 121, asystem memory 122, and a system bus 123 that couples various system components, including thesystem memory 122, to theprocessing unit 121. The system bus 123 may be any of several types of bus structures including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. The system memory may include read only memory (ROM) 124 and/or random access memory (RAM) 125. A basic input/output system 126 (BIOS), containing basic routines that help to transfer data between elements within thecomputer 120, such as during start-up, may be stored inROM 124. Thecomputer 120 may also include ahard disk drive 127 for reading from and writing to a hard disk, (not shown), amagnetic disk drive 128 for reading from or writing to a (e.g., removable)magnetic disk 129, and anoptical disk drive 130 for reading from or writing to a removable (magneto)optical disk 131 such as a compact disk or other (magneto) optical media. Thehard disk drive 127,magnetic disk drive 128, and (magneto)optical disk drive 130 may be coupled with the system bus 123 by a harddisk drive interface 132, a magneticdisk drive interface 133, and a (magneto)optical drive interface 134, respectively. The drives and their associated storage media provide nonvolatile (or persistent) storage of machine readable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for thecomputer 120. Although the exemplary environment described herein employs a hard disk, a removablemagnetic disk 129 and a removableoptical disk 131, these skilled in the art will appreciate that other types of storage media, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read only memories (ROM), remote cloud storage and the like, may be used instead of, or in addition to, the storage devices introduced above. - A number of program modules may be stored on the
hard disk 127,magnetic disk 129, (magneto)optical disk 131,ROM 124 orRAM 125, such as an operating system 135 (for example, Windows® NT® 4.0, sold by Microsoft® Corporation of Redmond, Wash.), one ormore application programs 136, other program modules 137 (such as “Alice”, which is a research system developed by the User Interface Group at Carnegie Mellon University available at www.Alice.org, OpenGL from Silicon Graphics Inc. of Mountain View Calif., or Direct 3D from Microsoft Corp. of Bellevue Wash.), and/orprogram data 138 for example. - A user may enter commands and data into the
computer 120 through input devices, such as akeyboard 140, a camera 141 and pointing device 142 for example. Other input devices (not shown) such as a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, a touch sensitive screen, accelerometers adapted to sense movements of the user or movements of a device, or the like may also be included. These and other input devices are often connected to theprocessing unit 121 through aserial port interface 146 coupled to the system bus. However, input devices may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, a game port, blue tooth connection or a universal serial bus (USB). For example, since the bandwidth of the camera 141 may be too great for the serial port, the video camera 141 may be coupled with the system bus 123 via a video capture card (not shown). The video monitor 147 or other type of display device may also be connected to the system bus 123 via an interface, such as avideo adapter 148 for example. Thevideo adapter 148 may include a graphics accelerator. One ormore speaker 162 may be connected to the system bus 123 via a sound card 161 (e.g., a wave table synthesizer such as product number AWE64 Gold Card from Creative® Labs of Milpitas, Calif.). In addition to themonitor 147 and speaker(s) 162, thecomputer 120 may include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as a printer, a hi-definition television and a scanner for example. As an alternative or an addition to thevideo monitor 147, a stereo video output device, such as a head mounted display or LCD shutter glasses for example, could be used. - The
computer 120 may operate in a networked environment which defines logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as aremote computer 149. Theremote computer 149 may be another computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and may include many or all of the elements described above relative to thecomputer 120. The logical connections depicted inFIG. 3 include a local area network (LAN) 151 and a wide area network (WAN) 152, an intranet and the Internet. - When used in a LAN, the
computer 120 may be connected to theLAN 151 through a network interface adapter (or “NIC”) 153. When used in a WAN, such as the Internet, thecomputer 120 may include amodem 154 or other means for establishing communications over the wide area network 152 (e.g. Wi-Fi, WinMax). Themodem 154, which may be internal or external, may be connected to the system bus 123 via theserial port interface 146 or another type of port interface. In a networked environment, at least some of the program modules depicted relative to thecomputer 120 may be stored in the remote memory storage device. The network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers may be used. - Visual Document Attribute Discrimination
- Referring to
FIG. 4 , is illustrated a first array ofdocuments 200 comprising a group ofdocuments chronological order 230 on a graphical user interface adapted to manage documents. - Each document is associated with related attributes or tags, or keywords. In the present embodiment, each attribute is illustratively represented with a capital letter A, B, C, D or E. An attribute is selected, most likely by a user, from all the attributes associated with at least one of the documents present on the first array of
documents 200. For instance, attribute E is selected.Documents - Thus, attribute E is selected and document 212 is the intersecting document intervening between both arrays of
documents intersecting document 212 is located at the intersection of both arrays ofdocuments documents bold frame 240 or other visually discriminating element, optionally, illustrates that the selected attribute has been selected from thisparticular document 212. - The second array of
documents 300 is created, simultaneously or consecutively with the display of the first array ofdocuments 200, showing the documents from the first array ofdocuments 200 that have the selected attribute E associated therewith. In other words,documents second document array 300 along thechronological order 232. As it can be appreciated,documents documents document 206 is copied and shown asdocument 302,document 212 is copied as document 304 (the same document used as intersectingdocument 212 therefore used a single time by both arrays ofdocuments 200, 300),document 216 isdocument 306,document 220 isdocument 308 anddocument 222 isdocument 310. - Since
documents documents same documents documents 200 and array ofdocuments 300. Or, it could be useful to a user to see where is copied a document of interest. - In order to identify and discriminate the documents on the
first document array 200 that will be found on the second array ofdocuments 300, a discriminationvisual feature 250 is applied to thedocuments documents documents 300. In the present situation the illustrative discriminative visual feature darkens 250 the relevant documents as shown onFIG. 4 . The discriminativevisual feature 250 assists an observer, or a user of the system, to infer which documents from the first array ofdocuments 200 will also appear on the second array ofdocuments 300 and where it will appear so that a quick relation can be established between the duplicateddocuments Document 212 is a special case and is darken 250 for a reason of consistency despite it is not duplicated for obvious reasons. - It might be desirable that the discriminating
visual feature 250 be applied (or enabled) to the documents having the attribute E associated therewith on the first array ofdocuments 200, then, display the second array ofdocuments 300 with the duplicateddocuments documents documents 300. - The discriminating
visual feature 250 can appear for a limited lapse of time at the moment the second array ofdocuments 300 is displayed so that an observer, or a user, could see which documents from the first array ofdocuments 200 will also appear on the second array ofdocuments 300. The discriminatingvisual feature 250 will disappear after a pre-selected delay is expired. Conversely, discriminatingvisual features 250, such as a document color, a document frame and a document texture applied to the documents to be duplicated, can remain associated with the subject documents as long as the second array ofdocuments 300 is displayed. Conversely, the discriminatingvisual features 250 can remain visible for a predetermined amount of time and then disappear. - The discriminating
visual feature 250 could be a color applied to the documents, a border around the documents, animations, an alteration of a portion of the documents, an animation showing amovement 260 of each documents having the E attribute from the first array ofdocuments 200 to their respective position on the second array ofdocuments 300. The display of the discriminatingvisual feature 250 can be made with ananimation 260 literally moving, or copying,documents documents 200 to their respective locations on the second array ofdocuments 300. - Any visual means capable of discriminating the documents from a user point of view so that the user can see which documents from the first array of
documents 200 will be, or is, duplicated on the second array ofdocuments 300 is encompassed by the present specification. Also, more than two arrays of documents can be involved into the use of the discriminating visual features. - Referring now to
FIG. 5 where are provided three parallel arrays ofdocuments documents 330 displays a group ofdocuments 332 having a respective selection of attributes A, B, C, D, E and F associated therewith. Attribute E, in relation with all attributes associated with the first array ofdocuments 330 or in relation with a particular document from the first array ofdocuments 330 or from a list of attributes is selected and leads to the creation of array ofdocuments 340 displaying only documents having the attribute E. The discriminatingvisual feature 250 is applied so that an observer, or a user, would see which documents from the first array ofdocuments 330 are associated with the attribute E and are to be duplicated on the second array ofdocuments 340 when the attribute E is selected and the second array ofdocuments 340, displaying only thedocuments visual feature 250 helps preventing any confusion occurring with the duplication of a number of documents. The second array ofdocuments 340, thus, displays a group ofdocuments 342 having the attribute E in common. - The same principle is applied to the third array of
documents 350 that displays a group ofdocuments visual feature 252 put a X on the documents having the attribute F that will be duplicated on the third array ofdocuments 350 grouping the documents having the attribute F in common. Similarly discriminatingvisual feature 252 marks the documents having the attribute F that are displayed on the third array ofdocuments 350 grouping the documents having the attribute F in common. - Here again, the application of the discriminating
visual feature 352 can be made with ananimation 260 clearly moving, or copying,documents documents 330 to their respective locations on the third array ofdocuments 352. - The illustrative embodiments presented herein are presenting three arrays of
documents - Document Color Coding
- As mentioned above, discriminative
visual features - Documents can be reduced and magnified in size according to the number of documents desired to be seen at one time on a display. When the document is too small to appreciate its details it is convenient to use colors, shapes and patterns associated to different meanings, attributes and/or tags so that a viewer can infer the associated meaning without having to magnify the document. More than one attribute can be represented by an arrangement of shape and colors. Various colors, shapes and patterns could be used and the scope of the present application does not intend to limit their possible variations.
- It is desirable be inspired by color and pattern coding associated with something already well known in a non-analogous field to represent one attribute of a combination of attributes. One possible option is to see what is done in the field of poker where colors and patterns are used to distinguish the chips used in the game as opposed to real money. The colors and patterns are intended to be easily recognizable a chip's value when the chip is seen from its face and from its side without reading the actual writing on it.
- Typically colors found in home sets of poker chips include red, white, blue and sometimes black; however, more recently a wide assortment of colors has become readily available.
- $2.50 chips are almost exclusively used for blackjack tables, since a “natural” (a 21 on the first two cards dealt to a player) typically pays 3:2 and most wagers are in increments of $5. However, the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City, N.J. has used pink chips in $7.50-$15 and $10-$20 poker games. Low-denomination yellow chips can vary in value: $20 by statute in Atlantic City and Illinois (which also uses “mustard yellow” $0.50 chips); $5 at most Southern California poker rooms; $2 at Foxwoods' poker room in Ledyard, Conn. and at Casino del Sol in Tucson, Ariz.; and $0.50 at Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee, Wis. Blue chips are occasionally used for $10, most notably by statute in Atlantic City. In Las Vegas and California, most casinos use blue or white for $1 chips, though many Vegas tables now use $1 metal tokens in lieu of chips. Many casinos have coinless slot machines, and this practice reduces costs by limiting $1 chips to the craps tables, where such chips are necessary.
- Chips are commonly available in $1000 denominations, depending on the wagering limits of the casino in question. Such chips are often yellow or orange and of a large size. Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and other areas, which permit high wagers typically, have chips available in $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, and higher denominations; the colors for these vary widely.
-
- In many places, gaming boards regulate the color and size of casino chips for consistency. All states require that casino chips have a unique combination of edge (e.g. side) spots for identification, the name and location of the casino and the chip's value, if any, impressed, printed, or molded onto the obverse and reverse of the token. Notably, Nevada has no regulations on color; this is why Nevada casinos may use white, blue, or gray as $1, though $5 and higher are almost always consistently colored.
- Referring to
FIG. 6 , The color and shape used onpoker chips 400 are distinguishable when the chip is seen from itsface 402 and from itsside 404. - A possible standard, for example, could use the following color-coding scheme illustrated in Table 1.
-
TABLE 1 Poker chips 400colors shape 412 valuesSecondary color 408 andDenomination Main color 406secondary shape 412$0.50 Dark yellow None $1 White None $2.50 Pink Round black $5 Red Square yellow $10 Blue Round white $20 Bright yellow Square black $25 Green Round yellow $100 Black Square white $500 Purple Rectangle white $1000 Fire orange Lozenge black $5000 Gray Triangle red - The denomination is the actual value of the
chip 400. Themain color 406 is used on a portion of the circumference of thechip 400 so that is can be consistently appreciated when seen from theface 402 and from the edge/side 404.FIG. 6 is depicting a possiblemain color 406 andmain shape 410 but other shapes/patterns are considered within the scope of the present specification. Thesecondary color 408 appears in asecondary shape 412 consistently visible from theface view 402 and from theside view 404 in a contrasting color portion 414 (in the present example it is black). In the present example the secondary shape is a circle but it could be any other recognizable shape, e.g. square, triangle, oval, hexagon, diamond, spade, heart, skull, flag, clubs or a letter/number. - The application of a color and pattern code on documents could be defined as follow in Table 2 for illustrative purpose.
-
TABLE 2 Documents color codes and meaning Main color Secondary Secondary Document 424 Importance color 426 Delay shape 430 type Green Low Green Prospective Square Email Orange Medium Orange In time Circle Text Red High Red Urgent Rectangle Webpage Heart Picture Lozenge Not assigned yet Triangle Not assigned yet - Referring to
FIG. 7 is shown anicon 422 representing adocument 420. Theicon 422 is a small representation of adocument 420 used when the document would be shown too small for perceiving the details of theactual document 420. For this reason the color and pattern coding take illustratively all the area on theicon 422. Themain color 424 is illustratively disposed on the periphery of theicon 422 while thesecondary color 426 is displayed in cooperation with thesecondary shape 430. Again, thesecondary color 426 andsecondary shape 430 are disposed in acontrasting portion 432. - Still on
FIG. 7 , for example, if themain color 424 is illustratively orange, thesecondary color 426 is illustratively orange and thesecondary shape 430 is illustratively round. According to Table 2, the attributes associated with themain color 424, thesecondary color 426 and thesecondary shape 430 ofdocument 420 infer that it is a “text document” that is of “medium importance” and dealt with “in time”. This way, with a simple look over documents, it is possible to retrieve the “urgent documents” 420 by finding the documents having asecondary color 426 that is “red”. -
FIG. 8 illustrates the same document in athumbnail size 438 where it is possible to see the text document in much smaller size than the actual reallife document size 440. Thecolors shape 430 are illustratively identified on the bottom of thethumbnail document 438 to limit the interference with the visible portion of thedocument 420. -
FIG. 9 illustrates theactual document 420 in areal life size 440, or magnified size, so that it is possible to read the text of the document. In this case thecolors shape 430 are applied on the circumference of thedocument 420 not to hide thedocument 420 itself. - Shapes and colors can be shared among users. The actual layout of the
main color 420, thesecondary color 426 and thesecondary shape 430 on thedocument 420 are for illustrative purpose and could be changed while keeping the same spirit and without departing from the present specification. - Associated Attributes
- As identified above, attributes, tags or key words are used to categorize and discriminate documents. The use of several attributes is desirable to properly classify documents with as many different attributes as necessary. This is probably workable without too much difficulty if there is a single user classifying its own documents with its own set of attributes, although it might not. When documents are exchanged among a plurality of users it becomes more difficult to keep a clear list of attributes since a user has to consider the attributes created by other users.
- One possible issue arises when doing a search among documents. For instance, two (or more) attributes from different users (or perhaps a single user) can substantially share the same meaning. If only one attribute is selected to build the search query only the documents associated with this particular attribute will be presented as results. In other words all relevant documents associated to like attributes in meaning (but literally different attributes) will not be retrieved despite they could be relevant.
- A way to fix this would be to change attributes on documents provided or shared by others. One can imagine that this process would be painful and time consuming. Realistically it would not be possible to do such an up-date to documents. Even if this was possible it would risk to created such a mess with shared documents that would then appear to have different attributes for each user.
- An embodiment of the present specification provides associated attributes. An associated attribute is, like it says, associated with another attribute so that when an attribute is selected the associated attribute is considered as well.
- Two documents (1), (2), 450, 452 are illustrated on
FIG. 10 with respective associatedattributes document 2 that is shared by another user because the document (2) 452 is categorized with the other user's attributes. The search would fail to provide all relevant results if attribute A of our user is equivalent in sense to attribute G of the other user's attribute. Therefore, the present embodiment provides a way to associate attribute A with attribute G as illustrated inFIG. 11 . -
FIG. 12 shows what happens with an attribute based search query if attribute A is associated with attribute G: bothdocument 1 anddocument 2 are retrieved and presented in the results. - In the latter illustrative example, the logical operator used between attribute A and attribute G is logical operator (AND). Other logical operators could be used between associated attributes. One example could be to associate attribute A with attribute G with the logical operator (NOT) to exclude documents having both attribute A and G from the search results by keeping only documents associated with attribute A in combination with other attributes but attribute G.
- To achieve this a correspondence table (not shown) could be used where a user indicates which attribute is associated with which other attribute(s). The attributes could be attributes of a single user or be attributes shared by other users. The attributes shared by other users could be shared by sharing the actual attribute(s) or by sharing documents having the attribute(s) associated therewith. In the latter situation the attribute(s) might not be usable by the user if the other user has granted no such access right.
- Associated attributes can evolve over time. At first, two attributes can be associated together and later a third attribute can be associated thereto. The evolution of each “package” of associated attribute can be illustrated over a timeline showing when each additional attribute has been added to the “package” and when attributes have been removed from the “package” of attributes. It is desirable to keep track of the time of entry and the time of extraction of each attribute in a “package” of attributes to properly define a query targeting a specific time period.
- Grouped Attributes
- It can rapidly become time consuming to individually associate many attributes with a document (or a plurality of documents at the same time). In order to facilitate the process of associating attributes to documents it is provided herein to group attributes that are likely to be used together when associating attributes to document(s). In turn, many different groups of attributes can be created and retrieved when desired.
-
FIG. 13 illustrates a block diagram of a system capable of providing such mechanism. Adisplay module 470 is provided to display documents and attributes; anorganization module 472 adapted to organize documents with related attributes; aselection module 474 is adapted to select attributes and documents by a user; agroup sharing module 476 adapted to share groups of attributes among users; a grouped attributesmodule 478 adapted to manage groups of attributes and auser interface module 480 adapted to provide user interaction based, at least in part, on a graphical display of user-selectable elements adapted to offer choices to a user in order to establish a dialogue with the user. - Turning now to
FIG. 14 illustrating an exemplary flow chart of a possible sequence of actions leading to the use of groups of attributes. The sequence starts 490 with defining a name of a subject group of attributes 492 (to be created) and inserting anattribute 494 in the group of attributes with a predetermined selected default value associated with the attribute 496 (an alternative would provide an attribute with no value although the present embodiment uses a more refined attribute/value system thus requiring to select a default value to the attribute). It is determined if the attribute is a “master attribute” or not amaster attribute 498. A master attribute is an attribute that, when selected in the course of associating attributes with document(s), will call the other attributes of the group of attributes to the dialogue presented to the user. The user can decide which attribute(s) from the group of attributes, and desired value associated therewith, when applicable, will be associated with the document(s). Each attribute in a group of attributes can be designed as a “master attribute”. This way, the selection of any of the “master attributes” of a group of attributes will call the other attributes from the group of attributes in the dialogue allowing association of attributes with document(s).Steps FIG. 14 , undesired attributes can simply be removed (or deleted) 500 from the group of attributes, other attributes that are not already part of the group of attributes can alternatively be added as previously discussed. The default value of each attribute can be changed 502. Finally, the group of attributes can either be enabled 504 or disabled 506 depending of the pertinence of the group before the illustrative process ends 508. - Turning now to
FIG. 18 illustrating an exemplary process for associating attribute(s) to document(s). The process begins 520 with the selection of an attribute 522 intended to be associated with the document(s). If the selected attribute is a “master attribute” a dialog opens 526 to offer the other attributes from the group of attributes that includes the selected “master attribute”. It is possible to modify the attributes forming the group of attributes by adding, removing or altering the attributes/values of the group ofattributes 528. The attributes are associated to the document(s) 530 when the adjustment(s), if needed, on the proposed group of attributes are done. Alternatively, if the selected attribute 522 is not amaster attribute 524 then, the selected attribute can be associated with the document(s) 532 without offering a group of attributes before the process ends 534. - Other attributes forming another group of attributes are added in the dialog when another master attribute is selected. Redundant attributes will be automatically removed from the dialog. Many attributes, master attribute(s) or not, can be added in the dialog to properly categorize the subject document(s).
- Turning to
FIG. 16 illustrating amaster attribute 540 accompanied by amaster attribute identifier 542 adapted to be associated with document (1) 544. When themaster attribute 540 is selected it calls theother attributes 546 from the group of attributes themaster attribute 540 relates to.FIG. 17 illustrates the association of all attributes from the group of attributes with document (1). - An exemplary group attributes
management dialog 550 is illustrated inFIG. 18 . Thedialog 550 displays thename 552 of the group of attributes. Each attribute in the group is disposed on a row. Each row presents editable choices related to each attribute. In the present situation,column 554 identifies if the attribute is a master attribute,column 556 identifies the name of the attribute,column 558 identifies the value of the attribute andcolumn 560 offers the choice of deleting the attribute from the group of attributes. Other attributes can be added 562 if desired. - Access rights can be managed with another dialog as embodied in
FIG. 19 . Each group of attributes is illustrated on a row. Similarly with the dialog ofFIG. 18 , each column offers editable information. Namely, to enable or disable 570 the group of attributes, to which user or group ofuser 572 the group of attribute is accessible to and, inter alia, as understood, the name of each group ofattributes 574. It is also possible to add 576 or delete 578 a group of attributes from the group of attribute accessright management dialog 580. - Grouped attributes can evolve over time. At first, two attributes can be grouped together and later a third attribute can be added in the group. The evolution of each group of attributes can be illustrated over a timeline showing when each additional attribute has been added to the group of attribute and when attributes have been removed from the group of attributes. It is desirable to keep track of the time of entry and the time of extraction of each attribute in a group of attributes to have the possibility to retroactively modify attributes that have been associated with a document based on the use of the group of attributes.
- Bridge Attributes
- It is sometimes desirable to associate attributes to a document that do not categorize the document. This non-categorizing attribute is called a bridge attribute (or indirect attribute). It bridges the document to which it is associated [without further categorizing it] with other documents categorized by this bridge attribute [the bridge attribute is a direct attribute to them]. The bridge attribute, as opposed to a direct attribute, is associated with a document, or documents, because it builds a bridge, a link, leading to other relevant related documents. The same attribute thus can be a direct attribute for some documents and a bridge attribute for other documents. It is desirable that each direct attribute has its corresponding bridge attribute but it is not mandatory.
-
FIG. 20 illustrates a block diagram of a system capable of providing such mechanism. Adisplay module 600 is provided to display documents and attributes; anorganization module 602 adapted to organize documents with related attributes; aselection module 604 is adapted to select attributes and documents by a user; adirect attribute module 606 adapted to manage direct attributes; a bridge attributesmodule 608 adapted to manage bridge attributes and auser interface module 610 adapted to provide user interaction based, at least in part, on a graphical display of user-selectable elements adapted to offer choices to a user in order to establish a dialogue with the user. - Turning now to
FIG. 21 illustrating an exemplary flow chart of a possible sequence of actions leading to the use of direct and bridge attributes. The sequence starts 620 with the insertion of anew document 622, or the insertion of many documents or the modification of attributes already associated with document(s) already entered in the system and the sequence ends 628. In contrast, inFIG. 22 , an illustrative sequence of actions related to the use of direct and bridge attributes is shown. The sequence starts 650 by having the choice of either selecting one or moredirect attributes 652 or selecting one or more bridge attributes 656. If a direct attribute has been selected 652 a query is launched to retrieve other documents directly associated with thedirect attribute 654. In contrast, if a bridge attribute has been selected 656 a query is launched to retrieve other documents associated with the selectedbridge attribute 658 before the process ends 660. The selection of either direct or bridge attributes is not exclusive and a mix of direct and bridge attributes can be made to build a query to retrieve relevant documents. -
FIG. 23 illustrates a plurality of attributes that can be either directly associated with documents or bridge documents to other documents by being associated with documents as bridge attributes.FIG. 24 illustrates two documents, document (1) and document (2), associated with respective direct attributes A and E.FIG. 25 illustrates the same two documents ofFIG. 24 with bridge attribute E [in dotted line] being associated with document (1). In so doing, bridge attribute E associated with document (1) builds a link, or a bridge to use the same wording, with document (2) because document (2) is directly associated with attribute E; the bridge being illustrated with the dotted line 670. - Lets use an example that patent people will understand to illustrate the current embodiment in relation with
FIGS. 24 , 25 and 26. Document (1) 800 is a USPTO form PTO/SB/07 used to file prior art related to a patent application with the USPTO in an Information Disclosure Statement (IDS). Document (1) 800 can be associated with attributes that could be 1) “document sent to USPTO” [because this document is sent by the applicant to the United States Patent and Trademark Office], 2) “PTO/SB/07” [the USPTO form identification], 3) “IDS” [that is the purpose of the document] and/or 4) “attorney's file number xxx” [that indicates to which matter number this document relates to]. These attributes work fine with document (1) 800 but it would be useful to have direct access to the actual patent document [illustratively document (2) 810] cited in document (1) 800 (USPTO form PTO/SB/07). Document (1) 800 (USPTO form PTO/SB/07) is not a patent document and therefore is not associated with theattribute E 806 “patent document”. Abridge attribute E B 806 “patent document” is therefore associated with document (1) 800 (USPTO form PTO/SB/07) despite thebridge attribute E B 806 “patent document” is not categorizing document (1) 800 (USPTO form PTO/SB/07) [because document (1) 800 is not a patent document]. Thebridge attribute E B 806 “patent document” would lead to documents associated directly withattribute E 806, in the present situation the actual patent document (2) 810 cited in document (1) 800 (USPTO form PTO/SB/07) [here we assume there is only one patent publication to be cited in the IDS]. And, in turn, patent document (2) is directly associated with the [direct]attribute E 806 “patent document” that is actually correctly categorizing the patent document (2) 810. As one has understood from the figures, direct attributes are illustrated in solid lines and bridge attributes are illustrated in dotted lines. - Now referring more precisely to
FIGS. 26 , 27 and 28, document (1) 800 (USPTO form PTO/SB/07) is directly associated withattribute A 802 that is the “document sent to USPTO” attribute. Thebridge attribute E B 806 “patent document” is also associated with document (1) 800. The actual patent documents cited in the “IDS” of document (1) 800 are document (2) 810 and document (3) 812, both associated withattribute E 806. - Still referring to the exemplary embodiment of
FIGS. 26 , 27 and 28, the selection ofattribute A 802 is adapted to launch a search to gather all documents having theattribute A 802 in common. Similarly, as mentioned above, it is desirable to allow an association with related documents not directly categorized byattribute A 802 but meaningful to document (1) 800 with a bridge attribute. Thebridge attribute E 806 is a direct attribute associated with document (2) 810 and is a bridge attribute to document (1) 800. Thus, attribute E is an attribute to document (2) 810 and document (3) 812 and is a bridge attribute to document (1) 800. -
FIG. 27 illustrates the graphical association between direct attributes A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K and their respective documents (1), (2), (3) 800, 810, 812 using boxes of solid lines. Thebridge attribute E B 806 is also graphically associated, illustratively using a dotted lined box to distinguish thebridge attribute E B 806 from direct attributes illustrated in solid lines, with document (1) 800. The selection of direct attribute A from document (1) leads, when the attribute is selected in the context of a query, to other documents having the attribute A associated thereto. The selection ofbridge attribute E B 806 on document (1) 800 leads to document (2) 810 and document (3) 812, which neither share a direct common attribute with document (1) 800. Thebridge attribute E B 806 bridges document (1) with document (2) and (3) because they are relevant to document (1). In addition, other documents also associated withattribute E 806 will be provided if thebridge attribute E B 806 was selected in the context of the building of a query. -
FIG. 28 illustrates the documents ofFIG. 27 with additional bridge attributes associated therebetween. One can appreciate that document (2) is associated with direct attribute E, F, G, H and bridge attribute A. Bridge attribute A draw a connection with document (1) despite document (2) has no common direct attribute with document (1). Similarly, one can also appreciate that document (3) is associated with direct attribute E, I, J, K and bridge attribute C. Bridge attribute C draw a connection with document (1) despite document (3) has no common direct attribute with document (1). As it is shown, bridge attributes can be used in both directions. - A computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions for performing a method of discriminating documents, the method comprising: displaying a first array of documents; receiving instructions from the selection of an attribute associated with at least one document; displaying a second array of documents grouping documents having the selected attribute; and displaying documents associated with the selected attribute with a graphical discriminating feature.
