Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of approving a document, the method comprising:
- analyzing content of a first document to identify one or more first portions, wherein the first portions are visual, textual, or audio portions;
identifying one or more second documents that are similar to the first document, wherein the one or more second documents have second portions that are visual, textual, or audio portions;
based upon computer code that describes the first portions and the second portions, determining whether any of the first portions are substantially identical to the second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable; and
approving the first document only if none of the first portions are substantially identical to the second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable.

1. A computer-implemented method of approving a document, the method comprising:
-
analyzing content of a first document to identify one or more first portions, wherein the first portions are visual, textual, or audio portions; identifying one or more second documents that are similar to the first document, wherein the one or more second documents have second portions that are visual, textual, or audio portions; based upon computer code that describes the first portions and the second portions, determining whether any of the first portions are substantially identical to the second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable; and approving the first document only if none of the first portions are substantially identical to the second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable.

2. A computer-implemented method of approving a document, the method comprising:
-
analyzing content of a first document to identify one or more first portions, wherein the first portions are visual, textual, or audio portions; identifying one or more second documents that are similar to the first document, wherein the one or more second documents have second portions that are visual, textual, or audio portions and where the second portions have been determined to be unacceptable based on human input or automatically by a computer; based upon computer code that describes the first portions and the second portions, determining whether any of the first portions are substantially identical to the second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable; and approving the first document only if none of the first portions are substantially identical to the second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4)

5. A computer-implemented method of rating a document, comprising:
-
identifying one or more first documents that have been determined by human means to include a visual element, an audio element or a textual element that is unacceptable; automatically, by a processing device, comparing a second document to the one or more first documents; determining whether the second document contains an element that is substantially identical to one or more of a visual element, an audio element or a textual element that has previously been determined to be unacceptable; and rating the second document based on the determining. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
analyzing content of a first document to identify one or more first portions, wherein the first portions are visual, textual, or audio portions; identifying one or more second documents that are similar to the first document, wherein the one or more second documents have second portions that are visual, textual, or audio portions and include one or more portions of the second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable; based upon computer code that describes the first portions and the second portions, determining whether any of the first portions are substantially identical to the second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable; and rating the document as either acceptable or unacceptable based upon the determining.

9. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
identifying a set of first documents that include one or more first portions that are predetermined to be unacceptable, wherein the first portions are visual, textual, or audio portions; identifying a second document that is similar to the first document; evaluating computer code that describes the unacceptable first portions and computer code that describes the second document including determining whether any of the first portions are substantially identical to the second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable; and rating the second document based on the evaluating. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
analyzing content of a first document to identify one or more first portions; identifying one or more second documents that are similar to the first document, wherein the one or more second documents have second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable where a determination of unacceptability is based on a threshold and where the threshold relates to a presentation parameter associated with the one or more second documents; determining whether any of the first portions are substantially identical to the second portions that have been predetermined to be unacceptable; and rating the document as either acceptable or unacceptable based upon the determining. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
