Abstract
Systems and methods of the present technology generally provide computer implemented assistance for data summary, including organizing and generating a summary of data selected form source documents. In accordance with the present technology, a user identifies a subset of information from one or more source documents, assigns an identifier to the user-identified information, and may add custom information. The user can repeat the identification and assignment steps using multiple source documents, as many times as desired. The system then analyzes and prioritizes the user-identified information and any custom information, and generates a formatted summary.
Claims21
A data summary system comprising:
- a user device including a user device processor and a user device memory;
- a system server including a system processor and a system memory;
- a communication link that operatively connects the user device and the system server;
- a unique identifier selection box displayed on the user device after text has been selected, the unique identifier selection box comprising a plurality of unique identifiers, the plurality of unique identifiers comprising a respective category associated with legal research;
- a unique identifier activation box configured to filter one or more of the plurality of unique identifiers displayed on the user device based on activated unique identifiers;
- program instructions stored on at least one of the system memory and the user device memory, wherein the program instructions are executable by at least one of the system processor and the user device processor that, when executed, cause the data summary system to perform the steps of:
- receiving a dataset, the dataset including user-identified information, unique identifiers selected from the plurality of unique identifiers of the unique identifier selection box and that are associated with the user-identified information, and a user identifier;
- storing the user-identified information and the selected unique identifiers;
- and
- automatically generate a summary including the user-identified information associated with the activated unique identifiers.
A method implemented by a data summary system comprising a user device, a system server, and a communication link that operatively connects the user device and the system server, the method comprising steps of:
- the user device displaying a unique identifier selection box comprising a plurality of unique identifiers upon a user selecting text within a source document;
- the system server receiving a dataset from the user device via the communication link, the dataset including the user-identified information comprising the selected text, a unique identifier of the plurality of unique identifiers that is a topic or category associated with legal research and that is further associated with the selected text of the user-identified information, and a user identifier;
- the system server storing the user-identified information and the unique identifier in a user profile based on the user identifier;
- the system server retrieving the dataset;
- the system server filtering the dataset based on one or more selections of a unique identifier activation box;
- and
- the system server generating a summary of the dataset displayed on a single screen and arranged in a plurality of sections, with at least one of the plurality of sections being defined by the one or more selections of the unique identifier activation box.
A method implemented by a data summary system, the method comprising steps of:
- the user device displaying a unique identifier selection box in response to a user selecting user-identified information, the unique identifier selection box comprising a plurality of unique identifiers;
- the user device receiving a selection of a unique identifier from the plurality of unique identifiers of the unique identifier selection box, wherein the unique identifier is a topic or category associated with legal research;
- the user device storing a dataset, the dataset including a plurality of user-identified information comprising the user-identified information, the unique identifier being associated with the user-identified information, and a user identifier;
- the user device generating a custom summary including the plurality of user-identified information formatted according to one or more settings associated with the user identifier;
- and
- the user device synchronizing information on a system server when a communications link is available, wherein the communication link operatively connects the user device and the system server.
