Abstract
An object access system may include an input component, and a processor coupled to the input component and configured to construct an extraction tree based upon an ordered list of objects, each object having an object description and associated weighted value. The extraction tree may include nodes, each node having a node range for representing a group of objects based upon the respective object descriptions. The nodes may include a parent node, and ordered child nodes associated therewith and having overlapping node ranges. The processor may be configured to traverse the extraction tree, based upon user input from the input component, along an access path from a root node to a terminal node including a selected access object.

An object access system comprising:
- an input component;
- and
- a processor coupled to said input component and configured to
- construct an extraction tree based upon an ordered list of a plurality of objects, each object having an object description and associated weighted value,
- the extraction tree comprising a plurality of nodes, each node having a node range for representing a group of objects based upon the respective object descriptions, the plurality of nodes comprising at least one parent node, and a plurality of ordered child nodes associated therewith and having overlapping node ranges, and
- traverse the extraction tree, based upon user input from said input component, along an access path from a root node to a terminal node including a selected access object.
A method of operating an object access system comprising an input component, and a processor coupled to the input component, the method comprising:
- using the processor to construct an extraction tree based upon an ordered list of a plurality of objects, each object having an object description and associated weighted value, the extraction tree comprising a plurality of nodes, each node having a node range for representing a group of objects based upon the respective object descriptions, the plurality of nodes comprising at least one parent node, and a plurality of ordered child nodes associated therewith and having overlapping node ranges;
- and
- using the processor and the input component to traverse the extraction tree, based upon user input from the input component, along an access path from a root node to a terminal node including a selected access object.
An apparatus with a computer-readable medium, wherein the computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for causing the object access system to perform steps comprising:
- constructing an extraction tree based upon an ordered list of a plurality of objects, each object having an object description and associated weighted value, the extraction tree comprising a plurality of nodes, each node having a node range for representing a group of objects based upon the respective object descriptions, the plurality of nodes comprising at least one parent node, and a plurality of ordered child nodes associated therewith and having overlapping node ranges;
- and
- traversing the extraction tree, based upon user input from the input component, along an access path from a root node to a terminal node including a selected access object.
