Abstract
A system receives a selection of content within the digital composition, and derives conceptual information associated with the content. The conceptual information is used to identify the graphical element associated with the selection of content. The system obtains the graphical element associated with the content, and displays the graphical element within the digital composition.
Claims23
A computer-implemented method in which at least one computer system accesses instructions from computer storage and executes the instructions to perform steps comprising:
- receiving a selection of content within a digital composition, the digital composition comprising a document;
- deriving conceptual information associated with the selected content;
- utilizing the conceptual information to identify a plurality of graphical elements associated with the selected content, the plurality of graphical elements comprising a first image devoid of text and at least a second image devoid of text;
- obtaining the first image and the second image, wherein obtaining includes:
- identifying a plurality of document locations, each location identifying where a respective image should be placed in the document;
- displaying the first image in conjunction with displaying the second image, the first image displayed within the document with information describing a first document location, the second image displayed within the document with information describing a second document location, the second document location differing from the first document location;
- and
- indicating whether a plurality of images exceeds a threshold associated with the document, the threshold representing a maximum number of images to be viewed within a respective document location.
A computerized device comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor;
- a communications interface;
- an interconnection mechanism coupling the memory, the processor and the communications interface;
- wherein the memory is encoded with a graphical element identifying application that when executed on the processor performs the operations of:
- receiving a selection of content within a digital composition, the digital composition comprising a document;
- deriving conceptual information associated with the selected content;
- utilizing the conceptual information to identify a plurality of graphical elements associated with the selected content, the plurality of graphical elements comprising a first image devoid of text and at least a second image devoid of text;
- obtaining the first image and the second image, wherein obtaining includes:
- identifying a plurality of document locations, each location identifying where a respective image should be placed in the document;
- displaying the first image in conjunction with displaying the second image, the first image displayed within the document with information describing a first document location, the second image displayed within the document with information describing a second document location, the second document location differing from the first document location;
- and
- indicating whether a plurality of images exceeds a threshold associated with the document, the threshold representing a maximum number of images to be viewed within a respective document location.
A computer readable storage medium encoded with computer programming logic that when executed on a process in a computerized device produces a graphical element identifying process that performs the operations of:
- receiving a selection of content within a digital composition, the digital composition comprising a document;
- deriving conceptual information associated with the selected content;
- utilizing the conceptual information to identify a plurality of graphical elements associated with the selected content, the plurality of graphical elements comprising a first image devoid of text and at least a second image devoid of text;
- obtaining the first image and the second image, wherein obtaining includes:
- identifying a plurality of document locations, each location identifying where a respective image should be placed in the document;
- displaying the first image in conjunction with displaying the second image, the first image displayed within the document with information describing a first document location, the second image displayed within the document with information describing a second document location, the second document location differing from the first document location;
- and
- indicating whether a plurality of images exceeds a threshold associated with the document, the threshold representing a maximum number of images to be viewed within a respective document location.
