Methods and systems for selecting objects by grouping annotations on the objects
First Claim
1. A method for selecting at least a part of at least one object of an electronic media, comprising:
- providing at least one annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object;
grouping at least some of the at least one annotation with the at least one object; and
selecting at least one of the at least a part of the at least one object and the at least one grouped annotation based on the grouping of the at least one annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object.

Abstract
The technique for selecting at least a part of object on an electronic media includes, providing annotations on the object, grouping the annotation on the object, and selecting one or both of the object and the annotations based on the grouping of the annotations on the object. The techniques also provide the system that selects a part of object on a media, that includes an annotation grouping circuit that provides annotations on the object and groups the annotations on the object, and an object selection circuit that selects at least one of the object and the annotations based on the grouping of the annotation on the object.

14. A system for selecting at least a part of at least one object of an electronic media, comprising:
-
an annotation grouping circuit that groups, for at least one annotation provided on the at least a part of the at least one object, the at least one annotation with the at least one object; and
an object selection circuit that selects at least one of the at least a part of the at least one object and the at least one annotation based on the grouping of the at least one grouped annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 45, 46)

27. A computer readable storage medium, comprising:
-
computer readable program code embodied on the computer readable storage medium, the computer readable program code usable to program a computer to program a method for selecting at least a part of at least one object of an electronic media, comprising;
providing at least one annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object;
grouping at least some of the at least one annotation with the at least one object; and
selecting at least one of the at least a part of the at least one object and the at least one grouped annotation based on the grouping of the at least one annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 47, 48)

40. A carrier wave encoded to transmit a control program usable for managing selecting at least a part of at least one object of an electronic media, comprising:
-
instructions for providing at least one annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object;
instructions for grouping at least some of the at least one annotation with the at least one object; and
instructions for selecting at least one of the at least a part of the at least one object and the at least one grouped annotation based on the grouping of the at least one annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object.

41. A method for selecting at least a part of at least one object of an electronic media, comprising:
-
providing at least one annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object;
grouping at least some of the at least one annotation with the at least one object; and
selecting at least one of the at least a part of the at least one object and the at least one grouped annotation based on the grouping of the at least one annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object; and
modifying the selected at least a part of the at least one object based on a condition, wherein, when the at least a part of the at least one object is a text, the modifying step includes replacing each of at least one non-annotated section of the at least a part of the at least one object with an ellipsis.

42. A method for selecting at least a part of at least one object of an electronic media, comprising:
-
providing at least one annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object;
grouping at least some of the at least one annotation with the at least one object;
selecting at least one of the at least a part of the at least one object and the at least one grouped annotation based on the grouping of the at least one annotation on the at least a part of the at least one object;
determining a type of the provided at least one annotation; and
selecting the at least a part of at least one object based on the type.
