Patent Images
1. A method for determining an at least one output term associated with a text displayed on a display device associated with a computing platform, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving an indication to a location on the display device;
identifying a seed location within the text displayed on the display device from the location indication;
determining a scope of the text which includes the seed location;
identifying an at least one match between at least one term from the scope of the text and an at least one concept from a concept collection;
identifying an at least one dominant concept for which an at least one match between the at least one concept and the at least one term was identified; and
extracting the at least one output term as an at least one term associated with the at least one dominant concept.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for extracting terms associated with a displayed text. The method and apparatus receive a location indication from a user, read the text, determine the seed location within the text relating to the indicated location, determine the text surrounding the seed location in a determined scope, match terms from the determined text scope with a concept collection, choose the most dominant concepts which were matched, and extract terms that are associated with the dominant concepts.

19. An apparatus for determining an at least one output term from a text displayed on a display device, the display device associated with a computing platform, the apparatus comprising:
-
an input device for receiving an indication for a location on the display device; a seed location identification component for identifying a seed location within the text displayed on the display device from the location indication; a text scope determination component for determining an at least one part of the text displayed on the display device, the part includes the seed location; a term-concept matching component for matching an at least one term from the scope of the text with an at least one concept from a concept collection; a dominant concept identification component for identifying an at least one dominant concept for which an at least one match between the at least one concept and the at least one term was identified; and a term extraction component for extracting an at least one output term associated with the at least one dominant concept. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)

23. A computer readable storage medium containing a set of instructions for a general purpose computer, the set of instructions comprising:
-
receiving an indication to a location on the display device associated with a computing platform, the display device displaying text; identifying a seed location within the text displayed in the display device from the location indication; determining a scope of the text which includes the seed location; identifying an at least one match between at least one term from the scope of the text and an at least one concept from a concept collection; identifying an at least one dominant concept for which an at least one match between the at least one concept and the at least one term was identified; and extracting an at least one output term as the at least one term associated with the at least one dominant concept.
