First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- opening, by a document viewing application, an electronic document, the electronic document comprising descriptive content and an illustrative object, the illustrative object identified by a reference label;
detecting that a cursor is positioned over text in the descriptive content that refers to the illustrative object; and
responding to the detecting, using at least one processor coupled to a memory, by loading the illustrative object into memory and rendering the illustrative object in a float window, the float window being presented in a display area of the document viewing application.

Abstract
Method and system for visualizing content referenced in an electronic document are provided. Example system includes an access module, a reference detector, and a float window loader. The access module can open electronic documents. An electronic document may include descriptive textual content and one or more illustrative objects. The reference detector detects that a cursor is positioned over text in the descriptive content that refers to an illustrative object. In response, the float window loader presents the illustrative object in a float window.
