First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for auto-completing document content, comprising:
- receiving a signal specifying an auto-completion request;
the auto-completion request including an entity fragment of a target document;
analyzing content surrounding the entity fragment in the target document to provide context information for identifying a first document attribute;
defining a query using the entity fragment and the first document attribute;
accessing a database of entities using the query to identify a set of entities that satisfy the auto-completion request;
the database of entities including entities and entity context information;
the entity context information identifying a second document attribute;
wherein said accessing compares the first document attribute and the second document attribute to determine a degree of match between the entity fragment and the entities in the database of entities.

Abstract
An information space is created using a document. Entities from the document and its information space are used to create a database of entities. An auto-completion system uses contextual information surrounding a fragment from the document to formulate a query. The query is used to identify a set of entities in the database of entities that complete the fragment. An auto-correction system uses contextual information from identified errors in the document to formulate a query. The query is used to identify a set of entities in the database of entities that correct the error.

11. A method for auto-completing document content, comprising:
-
defining an information space for target document content;
creating a database of entities using the information space for the target document content;
said creating adding entities to the database of entities using the target document content;
receiving an auto-completion request that includes an entity fragment of the target document;
analyzing content surrounding the entity fragment in the target document to provide associated context information;
formulating a query using both the entity fragment of the target document and its associated context information;
using the query to identify a set of entities in the database of entities that satisfy the auto-completion request. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
