Method and system for real-time information analysis of textual material
First Claim
1. A system for at least enhancing selected information contained in a data containing media, comprising:
- input means for inputting to the system data representing a textual document having a number of human-readable words;
first processing means that receives the data input from the input means, the first processing means for converting the input data from a first form to a second form;
second processing means for receiving an output of the first processing means, the second processing means for compressing the converted input data into compressed data structures, with the compressed data structures having information regarding a location and relative importance of elements of the input data according to a predetermined translation means, and with at least a subset of the compressed data structures being enhanced with respect to a remainder of the compressed data structures by modifying at least the subset of the compressed data structures;
third processing means for receiving an output of the second processing means, the third processing means for expanding the compressed data structures, with the subset of the compressed data structures enhanced, to a full form of data structures, the full form of data structures being representative of the converted input data with enhanced data structures being distinguishable from a remainder of data structures; and
readable form means for receiving an output of the third processing means, the readable form means for providing in readable form the full form of data structures representative of the converted input data, with the enhanced data structures being represented differently than the remainder of data structures by the readable form means.

Abstract
A multi-dimensional processing and display system that is used with equal data to provide a system by which large volumes of such textual data may be efficiently sorted and searched. Textual data that is input to the multi-dimensional processing and display system is from one or more documents that are reformatted and translated into one or more numeric matrices. The matrices are modified to enhance and/or suppress certain words, phrases, subjects, etc. Thereafter, a single two-dimensional data is formed by concatenating the numeric matrices. The multi-dimensional processing and display system creates and maintains a historical database which is also concatenated in the two-dimensional matrix. Once the textual data is in the form of a two-dimensional matrix, the data can be analyzed efficiently, for example, using singular value decomposition (SVD). In doing so, the two-dimensional concatenated matrix is decomposed to obtain a compressed form of the numeric matrix. Certain data elements in the two-dimensional matrix may be enhanced, while certain other data elements may be suppressed. After data enhancement and/or suppression, the two-dimensional matrix is partitioned and rearranged to form enhanced multi-dimensional matrix. All or portions of the enhanced multi-dimensional matrix are then visually displayed. Lexical, semantic, and/or textual constructs of interest may be displayed as opaque objects within a three-dimensional transparent cube, enabling a user to review many documents quickly and easily.
