1. A computer-implemented method for providing access to information related to text capture operations performed by a user, the method comprising:
- receiving text capture indications corresponding to text capture operations performed by the user from a rendered document, each operation capturing less than a whole page of text;
identifying, via one of said text capture indications, an electronic document related to one of said text capture operations;
determining whether the user is authorized to access said electronic document;
when the user is determined to be unauthorized, facilitating a transaction with a third-party to authorize the user to access said electronic document; and
providing access to said electronic document.

46. One or more computer-readable media collectively containing a document history data structure for a user, the data structure comprising:
-
a first plurality of entries, each corresponding to an electronic document with which the user has interacted; and a second plurality of entries, each corresponding to a rendered document identified in accordance with a text capture operation performed using a portable capture device by the user from said rendered document designating less than a whole page of text as captured. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48)

49. A computer-implemented method for facilitating social interactions, comprising:
-
for each of a plurality of users, receiving a plurality of text capture operations performed by the user from rendered documents, each indicated text capture operation designating less than a whole page of text as captured; for each of the plurality of users, analyzing the plurality of text capture operations received from the user to identify a likely interest of the user; identifying a plurality of users for which the same likely interest is identified; and presenting to a first member of the identified plurality of users an indication that another member of the identified plurality of users shares a likely interest.

- 50. One or more computer-readable media collectively containing a text capture data structure for a distinguished user, comprising a plurality of entries each corresponding to a text capture operation performed by the distinguished user from a rendered document using a portable capture device, each entry containing information specifying text captured in the text capture operation and being usable to perform an action with respect to an electronic document found to contain the specified text and generated before the text capture operation was performed.
-
52. A computer-implemented method for enabling a user to interact with a text capture history, comprising:
-
displaying an indication of each of a plurality of text capture operations performed by the user from rendered documents using a portable text capture device, each indicated text capture operation designating less than a whole page of text as captured; receiving user input with respect to a distinguished one of the displayed indications; and performing an action relative to the text capture operation indicated by the distinguished indication in accordance with the received user input. - View Dependent Claims (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59)
