A method of retrieving and manipulating electronic information that relates to a printed document. Each printed document contains an initialization marking that is recognizable by an external sensory device and unique to the printed document. When a reader of the printed document desires to retrieve and manipulate electronic information that relates to the printed document, the reader initializes the system by using the sensory device to recognize the initialization marking. The sensory device transfers a code embedded in the initialization marking to a computing device. This configures the computing device to access the stored data and instruction sets associated with the printed document. In addition to the initialization marking, areas throughout the printed document (e.g., text, tables, figures, etc.) also contain markings that are recognizable by the external sensory device. The reader of the printed document uses the sensory device to recognize the markings and transfer the code embedded in the markings to the computing device. The computing device uses the code to retrieve and display the electronic information that relates to that area of the printed document.

In various embodiments, a semantic space associated with a corpus of electronically stored information (ESI) may be created and used for concept searches. Documents (and any other objects in the ESI, in general) may be represented as vectors in the semantic space. Vectors may correspond to identifiers, such as, for example, indexed terms. The semantic space for a corpus of ESI can be used in information filtering, information retrieval, indexing, and relevancy rankings.

A health insurance provider may provide an annual rebate on paid premiums to recipients based on a qualifying annual BMI as an incentive. The recipients may receive the rebates in a qualified health reimbursement account (HRA) managed by the recipients towards future healthcare related expenditures.

A method of securely storing electronic information includes a step in which target electronically stored information is encrypted with a first encryption key and then partitioned into a first set of encrypted ESI partitions a subset of which is able to reconstruct the unpartitioned encrypted ESI. This first set of encrypted ESI partitions is then encrypted with a first set of user encryption keys to form a first set of user-associated encrypted ESI partitions that are made available to a first set of users. When access to the target electronically stored information is changed, the target electronically stored information is accessed and then re-encrypted with a second encryption key to form a second encrypted ESI. This second encrypted ESI is then partitioned and distributed to a second set of users.

A centralized rights management system and methodologies for digital media (e.g., books) is shown and described. In one embodiment, for example, a computer-implemented method is described for automated assertion of a claim of rights in books, the method comprises steps of: maintaining a publicly-searchable registry of books subject to claims by rightsholders; receiving user input allowing a user to select a book from the registry that the user wishes to assert a claim of rights in; displaying a list representing rights that can be claimed by rightsholders for the selected book; receiving input from the user asserting a claim of rights for the selected book; and electronically storing information about the asserted claim of rights, for facilitating automated payments to the user in connection with royalties earned for the selected book.

Provided are systems and methods for remote collection, preservation, and analysis of computer-based evidence in the course of conducting a network-based forensics or electronic discovery service. The challenge is to collect and analyze Electronically Stored Information (ESI) in a forensically sound manner over public and private networks. This is achieved via network-based forensics that may be conducted via an end user computer communicating directly with one or more subject computers across public or private networks, or it may be achieved via a “cloud computing” model whereupon the end user obtains, from the Internet, temporary use of shared resources, software, and information for the purpose of conducting digital forensics and eDiscovery upon subject computers.

A learning device is disclosed having both a textbook of substantially conventional format and an electronic storage medium to be accessed through a computing device external to the textbook. At least one of the pages or binding of the textbook may include a transmitter which, upon positive actuation by the user, causes a signal to be generated and transmitted to a receiver of the computing device. Upon receipt of the signal, the computing device accesses and displays the additional information stored on the electronic storage medium. The electronically stored information may be accessible through a stand-alone computing device, a server, a web page, or the like. In so doing, the textbook and electronic media can be used in concert with movement between the two resources being seamless to the user.
