Editable Annotation Document for Search Result Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic book reading software lacks efficient mechanisms for users to manage and organize search results, requiring manual copying and pasting of non-editable search results, which is time-consuming and cumbersome, especially for large amounts of information.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that automatically saves search results as an editable document, using a graphical user interface to provide a user-friendly environment for editing, filtering, and customizing search results, allowing users to manage and utilize search results efficiently by generating a customized annotation document with hyperlinks and source identifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If manual copying and pasting of search results is used, then search results can be saved, but the process becomes time-consuming and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically filtering and organizing search results into a structured document format before the user needs to use them. The annotation document is pre-formatted with excerpts, source identifications, and hyperlinks ready for user review and further manipulation, eliminating the need for manual copying and pasting operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional text processor is used to edit search results, then the file can be manipulated, but formatting is removed and convenient functions for organizing search results are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing specialized formatting and functions specifically tailored for search result documentation. The annotation document maintains local formatting elements such as excerpt highlighting, source identifications, and hyperlinks in specific sections, while allowing global manipulation through the GUI. This targeted approach preserves essential formatting information while enabling comprehensive editing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The annotation document serves as an intermediary between the raw search results and the user's final document. It acts as a middle layer that preserves formatting and organizational information from the search results while providing a structured format that can be easily manipulated through the GUI, thus mediating between the need to preserve formatting and the need for easy manipulation.
3Ease of operation
If search results are presented in non-editable format, then search results can be displayed, but users cannot efficiently organize and manage them
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamics by providing a GUI that allows users to dynamically manipulate the annotation document. Users can add, remove, rearrange, and edit content through visual objects and commands in the GUI, transforming the static annotation document into a dynamic, easily manageable format. This dynamic interface simplifies search result management while maintaining the structured format of the annotation document.

AI summary
System and method of automatically generating a user-editable document to save search results for efficient management and utilization by users. A book reading program according to the present disclosure can receive a user search request and automatically save the search results to a designated annotation document according to a predetermined layout. Through various editing functions provided by the book reading GUI, a user can advantageously edit the annotation document. The results may be book or other passages that contain a query term. In the document, the passage themselves can be edited and the user can add additional content by using text editing features.
