US 11,698,718 B2 · Dynamically scalable summaries with adaptive graphical associations between people and content

Abstract

The techniques disclosed herein improve existing systems by providing a system that automatically generates a scalable summary with adaptable graphical associations between people and content. The system can select a level of detail that can be applied to a process for generating a summary of content. The level of detail can be based on a user's engagement with respect to one or more events. The system can improve the usability of the summary by selecting a level of detail that is optimized for the user's contextual status. The system also improves the user's interaction with a computer by providing an adaptable layout of information indicating a source of content. The adaptable layout allows users to readily identify topics, content sources, and high-priority summary sections regardless of the level of detail that is selected for the summary.

Dependent claims

A method performed by a data processing system for analyzing segments of a document having content to identify one or more users for generating graphical associations between the one or more users and sections of a summary of the document, the method comprising:

analyzing the document to identify a respective source of information of an individual segment of the document;
according to the respective source of information, selecting the one or more users associated with the respective source of information, wherein the selection of the one or more users is based on the one or more users having a threshold level of relevancy with the individual segment of the document, wherein other users that do not have the threshold level of relevancy are not selected for inclusion in the summary;
generating the summary comprising multiple sections with each section of the summary being associated with individual segments of the document, the summary further comprising graphical elements individually associating the one or more users with corresponding sections of the summary;
and
causing a display of the summary on a display device in communication with the data processing system.

2 more elements

A system for analyzing segments of a document having content to identify one or more users for generating graphical associations between the one or more users and sections of a summary of the document, the system comprising:

one or more processing units;
and
a computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions to cause the one or more processing units to:
analyze the document to identify a respective source of information of an individual segment of the document;
according to the respective source of information, select the one or more users associated with the respective source of information, wherein the selection of the one or more users is based on the one or more users having a threshold level of relevancy with the individual segment of the document, wherein other users that do not have the threshold level of relevancy are not selected for inclusion in the summary;
generate the summary comprising multiple sections with each section of the summary being associated with individual segments of the document, the summary further comprising graphical elements individually associating the one or more users with corresponding sections of the summary;
and
cause a display of the summary on a display device in communication with the data processing system.

5 more elements

A computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions to cause one or more processing units of a system to analyze segments of a document having content to identify one or more users for generating graphical associations between the one or more users and sections of a summary of the document, computer-executable instructions to cause one or more processing units of a system to:

analyze the document to identify a respective source of information of an individual segment of the document;
according to the respective source of information, select the one or more users associated with the respective source of information, wherein the selection of the one or more users is based on the one or more users having a threshold level of relevancy with the individual segment of the document, wherein other users that do not have the threshold level of relevancy are not selected for inclusion in the summary;
generate the summary comprising multiple sections with each section of the summary being associated with individual segments of the document, the summary further comprising graphical elements individually associating the one or more users with corresponding sections of the summary;
and
cause a display of the summary on a display device in communication with the data processing system.
