Abstract

Word processing software uses an interactive word processing interface to provide and maintain links between portions of a report document being edited and portions of source documents. This functionality can be natively incorporated within the word processing software or added, such as through a plugin. The word processor creates links between highlighted portions of the report document and source documents or portions of source documents. Links can include unique identifiers stored in a database. Hovering over portions of the report document for which links to sources have been applied causes the source to be displayed and highlighted in a browser interface (and vice versa). The word processing software may also be configured to determine a categorization of the source document or a portion of the source document, and apply that same categorization to the highlighted portion of the report document.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A computer system comprising:

one or more computer readable storage devices configured to store a plurality of computer executable instructions;
and
one or more hardware processors in communication with the one or more computer readable storage devices and configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the computer system to:
provide user interface data useable to render at least a second section of a user interface, wherein:
a first section of the user interface is configured to be displayed simultaneously with the second section of the user interface, and
the first section of the user interface is configured to display a report document;
receive, through the first section of the user interface, a user-selected portion of the report document;
receive, through the second section of the user interface, a user-selected portion of a source document;
based at least in part on receiving, through the second section of the user interface, the user-selected portion of the source document:
access a pre-existing categorization associated with the user-selected portion of the source document;
and
apply the pre-existing categorization to at least the user-selected portion of the report document;
embed a link in the report document associated with the user-selected portion of the source document, wherein the link comprises a unique identifier associated with a plurality of data items in an identifier database, wherein the plurality of data items associated with the unique identifier comprises at least a source document identifier based on the user-selected portion of the source document;
and
update the first section of the user interface, such that selecting the user-selected portion of the report document accesses the link to display at least the user-selected portion of the source document in the second section of the user interface.

A computer system comprising:

one or more computer readable storage devices configured to store a plurality of computer executable instructions;
and
one or more hardware processors in communication with the one or more computer readable storage devices and configured to execute the plurality of computer executable instructions to cause the computer system to:
provide data usable for rendering a source document in a browser interface, wherein an interactive word processing interface is configured to be simultaneously displayed with the browser interface;
receive, through the interactive word processing interface, a user-selected portion of a report document;
receive, through the browser interface, a user-selected portion of a source document;
based at least in part on receiving, through the browser interface, the user-selected portion of the source document:
access a pre-existing categorization associated with the user-selected portion of the source document;
and
apply the pre-existing categorization to at least the user-selected portion of the report document;
in response to a user command in the browser interface, automatically embed a link in the report document associated with the user-selected portion of the source document without further user interaction with the interactive word processing interface, wherein the link comprises a unique identifier associated with a plurality of data items in an identifier database, wherein the plurality of data items associated with the unique identifier comprises at least an identifier of user-selected portion of a source document;
and
update the report document such that selecting the user-selected portion of the report document accesses the link to display at least the user-selected portion of the source document in the browser interface.
