First Claim
1. A method for locating information in a document relevant to an interest of a user, the method comprising:
- collecting information defined by the user of a document browser;
generating a context model using the collected information;
obtaining a document selected by the user;
dividing the document into one or more segments;
computing a relevance value for each of the one or more segments by comparing each of the one or more segments to the context model, wherein the relevance value represents a relationship to an interest of the user; and
presenting each of the one or more segments with the computed relevance value in a defined organizational area of a display, wherein the one or more segments presented on the display are linked to a corresponding one or more segments in the document.

Abstract
Techniques for locating information in a document relevant to an interest of a user are provided. Information defined by the user of a document browser is collected. A context model is generated using the collected information. A document selected by the user is obtained. The document is divided into one or more segments. A relevance value is computed for each of the one or more segments by comparing each of the one or more segments to the context model. The relevance value represents a relationship to an interest of the user. Each of the one or more segments with the computed relevance value is presented in a defined organizational area of a display. The one or more segments presented on the display are linked to a corresponding one or more segments in the document.
