The method obtains contents of each examination file, determines one or more rejected claims in each examination file by analyzing the contents of each examination file, and creates rejection information corresponding to each rejected claim. The method further creates a node for each examination file according to a preset mode, displays the rejection information of the rejected claims in a specific examination file on a display device when a node of the specific examination file is selected. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for displaying an examination process of a patent application using an electronic device, the method comprising: obtaining one or more examination files of the patent application from a storage device of the electronic device, and obtaining contents of each of the examination files; determining one or more rejected claims in each of the examination files by analyzing the contents of each of the examination files, and creating rejection information corresponding to each of the rejected claims; creating a node for each of the examination files according to a preset mode; and displaying the rejection information of the one or more rejected claims in a specific examination file on a display device of the electronic device upon the condition that a node of the specific examination file is selected. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the rejection information comprises the rejected claims in each of the examination files, and rejection law and prior art corresponding to each of the rejected claims cited on the examination files. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the rejection information are created by: determining a main part of each of the examination files by analyzing the contents of each of the examination files according to a character matching method and preset key words; determining specific objection characters in the main part of each of the examination files; determining rejected claims in a front part of the specific objection characters of each of the examination files according to a first matching string; determining rejection law in a latter part of the specific objection characters of each of the examination files according to a second matching string; determines prior art in the latter part of the specific objection characters of each of the examination files according to a third matching string; and creating a relationship among the rejected claims, the rejection law, and the prior art. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the front part of the specific objection characters is a first preset range before the specific objection characters. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the latter part of the specific objection characters is a second preset range after the specific objection characters. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the character matching method is a regular expression matching method. ### Claim 7 An electronic device, comprising: a storage device; at least one processor; and one or more modules that are stored in the storage device and are executed by the at least one processor, the one or more modules comprising: a data obtaining module that obtains one or more examination files of a patent application from the storage device, and obtains contents of each of the examination files; a data analyzing module that determines one or more rejected claims in each of the examination files by analyzing the contents of each of the examination files, and creates rejection information corresponding to each of the rejected claims; a node creation module that creates a node for each of the examination files according to a preset mode; and a data displaying module that displays the rejection information of the one or more rejected claims in a specific examination file on a display device of the electronic device upon the condition that a node of the specific examination file is selected. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the rejection information comprises the rejected claims in each of the examination files, and rejection law and prior art corresponding to each of the rejected claims cited on the examination files. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the data analyzing module creates rejection information by: determining a main part of each of the examination files by analyzing the contents of each of the examination files according to a character matching method and preset key words; determining specific objection characters in the main part of each of the examination files; determining rejected claims in a front part of the specific objection characters of each of the examination files according to a first matching string; determining rejection law in a latter part of the specific objection characters of each of the examination files according to a second matching string; determining prior art in the latter part of the specific objection characters of each of the examination files according to a third matching string; and creating a relationship among the rejected claims, the rejection law, and the prior art. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The electronic device according to claim 9, wherein the front part of the specific objection characters is a first preset range before the specific objection characters. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The electronic device according to claim 9, wherein the latter part of the specific objection characters is a second preset range after the specific objection characters. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The electronic device according to claim 9, wherein the character matching method is a regular expression matching method. ### Claim 13 A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform a method for displaying an examination process of a patent application, the method comprising: obtaining one or more examination files of the patent application from a storage device of the electronic device, and obtaining contents of each of the examination files; determining one or more rejected claims in each of the examination files by analyzing the contents of each of the examination files, and creating rejection information corresponding to each of the rejected claims; creating a node for each of the examination files according to a preset mode; and displaying the rejection information of the one or more rejected claims in a specific examination file on a display device of the electronic device upon the condition that a node of the specific examination file is selected. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 13, wherein the rejection information comprises the rejected claims in each of the examination files, and rejection law and prior art corresponding to each of the rejected claims cited on the examination files. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 13, wherein the rejection information are created by: determining a main part of each of the examination files by analyzing the contents of each of the examination files according to a character matching method and preset key words; determining specific objection characters in the main part of each of the examination files; determining rejected claims in a front part of the specific objection characters of each of the examination files according to a first matching string; determining rejection law in a latter part of the specific objection characters of each of the examination files according to a second matching string; determines prior art in the latter part of the specific objection characters of each of the examination files according to a third matching string; and creating a relationship among the rejected claims, the rejection law, and the prior art. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 15, wherein the front part of the specific objection characters is a first preset range before the specific objection characters. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 15, wherein the latter part of the specific objection characters is a second preset range after the specific objection characters. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 15, wherein the character matching method is a regular expression matching method.
