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.
Claims20
A data summary system comprising:
- a user device including a user device processor, a user device non-transitory computer readable medium, and an input device;
- a system server including a system processor and a system non-transitory computer readable medium;
- a communication link that operatively connects the user device and the system server;
- and
- first program instructions stored on the user device non-transitory computer readable medium, the first program instructions being executable by the user device processor that, when executed, cause the data summary system to perform steps of:
- displaying a unique identifier selection box on the user device in response to selection of text of a source document by the input device, the unique identifier selection box comprising a plurality of unique identifiers;
- and
- in response to selection of a unique identifier of the plurality of unique identifiers from the unique identifier selection box by the input device, sending a dataset to the system server, the dataset including the text selected by the input device, the selected unique identifier, and a user identifier;
- and
- second program instructions stored on the system non-transitory computer readable medium, the second program instructions being executable by the system processor that, when executed, cause the data summary system to perform steps of:
- receiving the dataset from the user device;
- storing the dataset in the system non-transitory computer readable medium;
- and
- automatically generating a summary including the text and a listing of each of the plurality of unique identifiers, wherein the text is listed under the selected unique identifier in the summary.
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:
- determining, by the user device, that first user-identified information has been selected from a first source document;
- displaying, by the user device, a unique identifier selection box comprising a plurality of unique identifiers in response to the selection of the first user-identified information;
- determining, by the user device, that a first unique identifier of the plurality of unique identifiers has been selected from the unique identifier selection box;
- determining, by the user device, that second user-identified information has been selected from a second source document;
- displaying, by the user device, the unique identifier selection box in response to the selection of the second user-identified information;
- determining, by the user device, that a second unique identifier of the plurality of unique identifiers has been selected from the unique identifier selection box;
- sending, by the user device, a first dataset to the system server, the first dataset including the first user-identified information and the first unique identifier;
- sending, by the user device, a second dataset to the system server, the second dataset including the second user-identified information and the second unique identifier;
- and
- generating, by the system server in response to a user command, a summary including the first user-identified information, the second user-identified information, and a listing of each of the plurality of unique identifiers, wherein the first user-identified information is grouped with the first unique identifier in the summary, and wherein the second user-identified information is grouped with the second unique identifier in the summary.
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:
- receiving and storing, by the system server, a plurality of datasets including user-identified information and a plurality of unique identifiers associated with portions of the user-identified information;
- generating, by the server system, a summary including the user identified information and a listing of the plurality of unique identifiers by reformatting the user-identified information such that a first portion of the user-identified information associated with a given unique identifier of the plurality of unique identifiers is listed in the summary under the given unique identifier;
- displaying, by the user device, a unique identifier activation box that includes selection boxes for each of the unique identifiers;
- and
- displaying, by the user device, only portions of the summary corresponding to a subset of the unique identifiers that have been selected via the selection boxes of the unique identifier activation box.
