AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables users to read electronic documents efficiently by selecting the appropriate level of abstraction, facilitating economic and flexible use of time, as users can choose how much detail to read based on their needs, preferences, or time constraints.

Problems solved by technology

Today's increasingly complex world often places significant time constraints on individuals, particularly in today's corporate world.
Thus, it is often inefficient or impractical for an individual to read an entire electronic document.
Many people, however, do not know how to utilize these techniques or are not capable of using these techniques.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]FIG. 1 shows a system 10 for abstracting an electronic document. FIG. 2 shows an exemplary method according to the invention for abstracting an electronic document. A user is prompted to select at least one abstracted version of the electronic document. A set of instruction is selected, and the abstracted version is created by executing the selected set of instructions. The abstracted version of the electronic document is then outputted in a predetermined format. The invention is particularly advantageous in that it permits users of electronic documents to select a version of the electronic document that most nearly meets the user's need for that electronic document. The invention thus facilitates both an economic and flexible use of one's time. The implementation of this method is discussed below.

[0015]Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional computer 20 of system 10 executes a computer program. The computer program 30a may be stored on a computer-readable medium encoded with comp...

Abstract

A method and computer implemented system may be used to abstract an electronic document. A user is prompted to select at least one abstracted version of the electronic document. A set of instructions is selected for abstracting the electronic document, and the abstracted version is created by executing the selected set of instructions. The instructions may be generic or particularized to the electronic document. The abstracted version of the electronic document is then outputted in a predetermined format.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 487,522, filed Jan. 19, 2000, entitled METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ABSTRACTING ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS, which application is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to electronic documents, and more specifically to a method and system for abstracting an electronic document to at least one level of abstraction.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0003]Electronic documents comprise a vast portion of all documents created and transferred in today's world. For example, electronic mail, news releases, text books, encyclopedias, articles, studies, and novels, to name a few, are widely disseminated as electronic documents. These documents are created as low level texts, those texts that have not been manipulated at all, i.e., they exist in their original full text form with all of their grammatical detail stored in an electronic ...
