Abstract
A method executed by a computer of generating a repurposed document includes: providing a representation of a first document with no explicitly defined structure, extracting structural information for the first document using a set of predefined rules, determining a first content item formatted using a first style of the first document using the structural information, applying a second style to the first content item in order to generate a second content item, and generating the repurposed document using the second content item, wherein a visual significance hierarchical score is maintained between the first and second content items.
Claims15
A method executed by a computer of generating a repurposed document comprising:
- accessing a first document with no explicitly defined structure;
- extracting structural information for the first document using a set of predefined rules;
- determining, using the extracted structural information, a first content item of the first document, the first content item having a first style;
- mapping the first style to a second style of a second document using a monotonic function of visual hierarchical scores of properties of the first document and visual hierarchical scores of properties of the second document;
- applying the second style to the first content item in order to generate a second content item;
- and
- generating the repurposed document using the second content item.
A computer comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing machine readable instructions executable by the processor to generate a repurposed document, the machine readable instructions comprising code to:
- access a first document with no explicitly defined structure;
- extract structural information for the first document using a set of predefined rules;
- determine, using the extracted structural information, a first content item of the first document, the first content item having a first style;
- map the first style to a second style of a second document using a monotonic function of visual hierarchical scores of style properties of the first document and visual hierarchical scores of style properties of the second document;
- apply the second style to the first content item in order to generate a second content item;
- and
- generate the repurposed document using the second content item.
An article comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that when executed cause a computer to:
- access a first document with no explicitly defined structure;
- extract structural information for the first document using a set of predefined rules;
- determine, using the extracted structural information, a first content item of the first document, the first content item having a first style;
- map the first style to a second style of a second document using a monotonic function of visual hierarchical scores of properties of the first document and visual hierarchical scores of properties of the second document;
- apply the second style to the first content item in order to generate a second content item;
- and
- generate the repurposed document using the second content item.
