Abstract

A computerized document management system is disclosed in this invention. The computerized document processing system is installed in a data-handling device for processing a document. The computerized document management system includes a document process monitor for monitoring and recording in the document a set of circumstantial events taking place in the data-handling device during a period of time as the computerized document processing system is processing the document. In a preferred embodiment, the document process monitor further includes an event display for displaying the set of circumstantial events taking place in the data-handling device such as sending the document as an attachment to an e-mail message. In another preferred embodiment, the document process monitor further monitoring and recording a length of elapsed time of a processing session and a total number document-process actions performed. These activities may include the number of key stokes on the keyboard or words pronounced into the document through a voice input device during the length of elapsed time. In another preferred embodiment, the document process monitor further includes a link-pointer processor for establishing a pointer for linking to a linked data record related to one of the circumstantial events. In another preferred embodiment, the document process monitor further includes a relevant data record recorder for recording a relevant data-record information of a relevant data record relevant to a section of a document processed by the document process system.

Claims

1. A computerized document processing means for processing a document comprising:

a document process monitor means for recording a length of elapsed time of a processing session of said computerized document and a total number document processing actions performed during said length of elapsed time.

24. The computerized document of claim 1 wherein:

said process-relevant database further comprising a linked data record automatically generated by a processing event monitor for storing a data record relevant to a document processing events.

2. A computerized document processing means installed in a data handling means for processing a document comprising:

a document process monitor means for monitoring and recording in said document a set of circumstantial events taking place in said data handling means during a period of time as said computerized document processing means processing said document.

3. The computerized document processing means of claim 2 wherein:

said document process monitor means further comprising an event display means for displaying said set of circumstantial events taking place in said data handling means.

4. The computerized document processing means of claim 2 wherein:

said document process monitor means further monitoring and recording a length of elapsed time of a processing session and a total number document-process actions performed during said length of elapsed time.

5. The computerized document processing means of claim 3 wherein:

said document process monitor means further comprising a link-pointer means for establishing a pointer for linking to a linked data record related to one of said circumstantial events.

6. The computerized document processing means of claim 2 wherein:

said document process monitor means further comprising a relevant data record means for recording a relevant data-record information of a relevant data record relevant to a section of a document processed by said document process means.

7. The computerized document processing means of claim 6 wherein:

said relevant data record means further comprising a link-indication means for providing an indication of a link existed for linking a user designated data record in said document to a linked data record.

8. The computerized document processing means of claim 6 wherein:

said relevant data record means further comprising a display means for displaying a link for linking a user designated data record in said document to a linked data record.

9. The computerized document processing means of claim 6 wherein:

said relevant data record means further comprising a linked-data-record display means for displaying a user designated data record in said document together with a linked data record.

10. The computerized document processing means of claim 6 wherein:

said relevant data record means further comprising a network linking means for linking a user designated data record in said document to a linked data record via a computer network.

11. The computerized document processing means of claim 6 wherein:

said relevant data record means further comprising a graphic element linking means for linking a user designated data record in said document to a linked graphic data record

12. The computerized document processing means of claim 11 wherein:

said graphic element linking means further comprising a linked-graphic-data-record display means for displaying said user designated data record in said document together with said linked graphic-data record.

13. The computerized document processing means of claim 2 wherein:

said document process monitor means further comprising a network message transmission means for monitoring and recording in said document a network transmission record of said document.

14. A computerized document processing means installed in a data handling means for processing a document comprising:

a document process monitor means for monitoring processing activities of said document and for establishing a data record link for linking a user designated data record in said document to a linked data record in performing said processing activities.

15. The computerized document processing means of claim 14 wherein:

said document process monitor means further comprising a link-indication means for providing an indication of a link existed for linking a user designated data record in said document to a linked data record.

16. The computerized document processing means of claim 14 wherein:

said document process monitor means further comprising a display means for displaying said link for linking said user designated data record in said document to a linked data record.

17. The computerized document processing means of claim 14 wherein:

said document process monitor means further comprising a linked-data-record display means for displaying said user designated data record in said document together with said linked data record.

18. The computerized document processing means of claim 14 wherein:

said document process monitor means further comprising a network linking means for linking said user designated data record in said document to said linked data record via a computer network.

19. The computerized document processing means of claim 14 wherein:

said document process monitor means further comprising a graphic element linking means for linking said user designated data record in said document to a linked graphic data record.

20. The computerized document processing means of claim 19 wherein:

said document process monitor means further comprising a linked-graphic-data-record display means for displaying said user designated data record in said document together with said linked graphic-data record.

21. A computerized document processing means for processing a document comprising:

a document process monitor means for monitoring and recording a set of related documents employed by a computer user in processing said computerized document.

22. A computerized document comprising:

a process-relevant database automatically generated by a processing event monitor for storing a data record relevant to a document processing events.
