The system includes a graphical screen divided into a plurality of document units arranged in a m×n manner, where both m and n are integers larger than 1. Each of the document units occupies a screen area for displaying document information of a document, and said document information including important information, at least one related drawing or both of the document. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A reading system for technical documents, said reading system at least comprising a graphical screen divided into a plurality of document units arranged in a m×n manner, where both m and n are integers larger than 1, each of said document units being a screen area for displaying document information of a document, and said document information including important information, at least one related drawing or both of the technical document. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The reading system of claim 1, further comprising a zoom module for a user to perform a zoom in/zoom out operation on the document units. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The reading system of claim 2, wherein the zoom in/zoom out operation is performed by providing a larger image of the document unit that is hovered by a cursor. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The reading system of claim 2, wherein the values of m and n are referenced to determine the display ratio of the images of the document units. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The reading system of claim 2, further comprising a zoom module for zooming in/zooming out the document units so that different sizes of the document units are displayed. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The reading system of claim 1, further comprising a commentating system for users to log comments to the technical documents. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The reading system of claim 6, wherein the commentating system provides users with capability to log comments on the technical documents, show comments from other users, attach or generate data collected or generated in reading the documents. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The reading system of claim 6, wherein the commentating system comprises an attorney audit unit for at least one attorney so that analysis or data are used for seeking legal opinion or taking legal action. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The reading system of claim 6, wherein the commentating system display comments in the manner of a blog. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The reading system of claim 6, wherein the commentating system having a first commentating system for all users and a second commentating system with authority control for only specific users to share specific information. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The reading system of claim 1, further comprising a classification module for classifying the technical documents into technical classes or product classes. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The reading system of claim 1, wherein m, which indicates the column number of the document units, ranges from 3 to 7 and n, which indicates the row number of the document units, ranges from 3 to 1000. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The reading system of claim 1, wherein a cursor is shown on the graphical screen, and when the cursor is moved by a user upon one document unit, a popup window shows the important information corresponding to the document unit. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The reading system of claim 1, further comprising a classification module for classifying the technical documents into classes, wherein the classes are of a hierarchical structure with a plurality of levels. ### Claim 15 A method implemented in a patent document reading system for generating patent information of a plurality of patent documents, comprising the steps of: dividing a graphical screen of said patent document reading system into a plurality document units arranged in a m×n manner, where both m and n are integers larger than 1, each of said document units being a screen area for displaying patent information of a patent document; selecting the patent information comprising a related drawing, corresponding important information or both for each of said patent documents; and displaying the patent information of each of said patent documents in one of the document units. ### Claim 16 A reading system for reading patent documents, comprising a graphical screen divided into a plurality of document units arranged in a m×n manner, where m and n are bigger than one, each of the document unit being a screen area comprising a first sub-area for displaying a related drawing of one patent document and comprising a second sub-area for displaying at least one piece information of title, assignee, inventor, abstract, application number, filing date, publication date, issue date, and document number of said one patent document. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The reading system of claim 16, wherein the second sub-area displays more than two pieces of information of title, assignee, inventor, abstract, application number, filing date, publication date, issue date, and document number of said one patent document. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The reading system of claim 16, wherein a cursor is shown on the graphical screen, and when the cursor is moved by a user upon one document unit, a popup window shows the important information corresponding to the document unit. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The reading system of claim 16, further comprising a first commentating system for providing information to all users. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The reading system of claim 16, further comprising a second commentating system with authority control for providing specific users to access specific information.
