Abstract

The invention relates to a method for accessing or presenting a document or an application with a characteristic identifier for efficient communication comprising the steps of presenting the characteristic identifier and accessing and spawning the document or an application interface, based on said characteristic identifier where the document or the application interface is analyzed, deriving a topic description of the document or the application interface and the topic description is presented additionally or in place of said characteristic identifier. Furthermore the invention relates to a telecommunication device and a computer software product.

Claims

1. A method for accessing or presenting a document or an application with a characteristic identifier for efficient communication comprising the steps of

presenting the characteristic identifier and

accessing and spawning the document or an application interface, based on said characteristic identifier,

wherein said method comprises the further steps of

analyzing the document or the application interface, deriving a topic description of the document or the application interface and

presenting the topic description additionally or in place of said characteristic identifier.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method further comprises the steps of

synthesizing an abstract of the document and

presenting the abstract.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method is triggered by a designation.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the analyzing is performed recursively to gather descriptions from referred documents or applications.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein said analyzing is personalized and adaptive (user-dependent, learning subject area of interest).

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein a characteristic identifier is created linking further documents identified by said analysis.

7. A computer software product comprising programming means for presenting a characteristic identifier and accessing and spawning a document or an application, based on said characteristic identifier, wherein the computer software product comprises programming means for analyzing the document or an application interface, derives a topic description of the document or the application interface and presents the topic description additionally or in place of said characteristic identifier.

8. The computer software product according to claim 7, wherein said computer software product comprises a user interface for visualizing said derived topic description of the document.

9. The computer software product according to claim 7, wherein said computer software product further comprises programming means for synthesizing an abstract of the document or the application interface and presenting the abstract.

10. The computer software product according to claim 7, wherein presenting the topic description is triggered by a designation or a by a focus.

11. The computer software product according to claim 7, wherein the visualization comprises a user specific mind map and a pointer.

12. A telecommunication device comprising accessing means for accessing a document or an application and presenting means for presenting a document with a characteristic identifier, wherein the telecommunication device further comprises analyzing means for analyzing the document or the application interface and deriving a topic description of the document or the application interface, as well as comprising presenting means for presenting the topic description additionally or in place of said characteristic identifier.
