Abstract

A processing system operable with a computing device, comprising one or more of a converter component for converting input data into a desired format for further processing, a parsing component for parsing input data into clusters having one or more desired characteristics, a notes component for receiving user inputs for insertion at desired locations within an input, an autosummary component for summarising input data, an ad component for adding advertisements to input data, a renderer component for displaying the resulting processed input data in various forms, and configurable settings to alter operation of the processing system.

Claims

1-17. -17. (canceled)

18. A computer implemented method for parsing text from an input data source into clusters for display, said method comprising the steps of:

(i) receiving text from an input data source;

(ii) parsing said text into a cluster by adding consecutive words or elements from a character stream to said cluster until one or more predetermined cluster maximums are exceeded;

(iii) removing a last word from the cluster until said cluster maximums are no longer exceeded;

(iv) applying predetermined grammar rules to a last word and a second last word of the cluster and further removing one or more last words from the cluster if required according to said predetermined grammar rules; and

(v) repeating steps (ii)-(iv) until text has been formed into clusters.

19. A method as claimed in claim 18, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is a conjunction.

20. A method as claimed in claim 18, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is a pronoun.

21. A method as claimed in claim 18, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is a possessive word.

22. A method as claimed in claim 18, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is an article.

23. A method as claimed in claim 18, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the last word is a select preposition and, if so, querying whether the second last word is selected from the group of a conjunction, a pronoun, a possessive word or an article.

24. A method as claimed in claim 18, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the last word is a conjunction and, if so, querying whether the second last word is selected from the group of a select pronoun, a possessive word or an article.

25. A method as claimed in claim 18, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the last word is a select pronoun and, if so, querying whether the second last word is selected from the group of a possessive word or an article.

26. A method as claimed in claim 18, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the last word is a possessive word and, if so, querying whether the second last word is an article.

27. A method as claimed in claim 18, wherein following step (i) and prior to step (ii), said method further comprising the step of converting said text from said input data source to a desired format for further processing and wherein steps (ii)-(v) are performed using said converted text.

28. A computer readable medium containing a set of instructions for instructing a computing device to perform a method for parsing text from an input data source into clusters for display, said method comprising the steps of:

(i) receiving text from an input data source;

(ii) parsing said text into a cluster by adding consecutive words or elements from a character stream to said cluster until one or more predetermined cluster maximums are exceeded;

(iii) removing the last word from the cluster until said cluster maximums are no longer exceeded;

(iv) applying predetermined grammar rules to last word and second last word of the cluster and further removing one or more last words from the cluster if required according to said predetermined grammar rules; and

(v) repeating steps (ii)-(iv) until text has been formed into clusters.

29. A computer readable medium as claimed in claim 28, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is a conjunction.

30. A computer readable medium as claimed in claim 28, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is a pronoun.

31. A computer readable medium as claimed in claim 28, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is a possessive word.

32. A computer readable medium as claimed in claim 28, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is an article.

33. A computer readable medium as claimed in claim 28, wherein following step (i) and prior to step (ii), said method further comprising the step of converting said text from said input data source to a desired format for further processing and wherein steps (ii)-(v) are performed using said converted text.

34. A computing device including a computer readable medium containing a set of instructions for instructing the computing device to perform a method for parsing text from an input data source into clusters for display, said method comprising the steps of:

(i) receiving text from an input data source;

(ii) parsing said text into a cluster by adding consecutive words or elements from a character stream to said cluster until one or more predetermined cluster maximums are exceeded;

(iii) removing the last word from the cluster until said cluster maximums are no longer exceeded;

(iv) applying predetermined grammar rules to last word and second last word of the cluster and further removing one or more last words from the cluster if required according to said predetermined grammar rules; and

(v) repeating steps (ii)-(iv) until text has been formed into clusters.

35. A computing device as claimed in claim 34, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is a conjunction.

36. A computing device as claimed in claim 34, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is a pronoun.

37. A computing device as claimed in claim 34, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is a possessive word.

38. A computing device as claimed in claim 34, wherein said step of applying said grammar rules includes the step of querying whether the second last word is an article.

39. A computing device as claimed in claim 34, wherein following step (i) and prior to step (ii), said method further comprising the step of converting said text from said input data source to a desired format for further processing and wherein steps (ii)-(v) are performed using said converted text.
