Method of analysis, abstraction, and delivery of electronic information
First Claim
1. A computer system for presenting an electronic document to a viewer to facilitate comprehension and control display and speed of delivery, comprising:
- a plurality of knowledge databases in the computer system for use in assigning an emphasis value to each word in the electronic document;
an annotation module in the computer system including a cognitive cluster parser configured to group selected word pairings as cognitive clusters to be treated as one word and an analysis engine configured to assign an emphasis value to each word and cognitive cluster, the cognitive cluster parser and analysis engine interacting to generate a first tagged file of assigned emphasis values for each word and cognitive cluster;
a first analysis module in the computer system including a compiler engine configured to derive emphasis values for recognizability and comprehensibility and an author interface configured to facilitate tag editing, the first analysis module for processing the first tagged file to generate a second tagged file of derived emphasis values;
a second analysis module in the computer system including a property editor configured to facilitate editing of properties of selected words and cognitive clusters in the electronic document, the second analysis module for processing the second tagged file to generate a deliverable file that dynamically controls the presentation of the electronic document to the viewer;
a printer or an electronic display device; and
a delivery display module operative with the property deliverable file and the printer or electronic display device to at least one of print or display the electronic document.

Abstract
This invention is a method of analyzing and preparing electronic text in such a way as to set values for each word in terms of recognizability, comprehensibility, and parts of speech for later emphasis and marking for printing or display on an electronic device. When used on electronic display devices it further employs methods which permit the user to limit eye movement by displaying such text one or a few words at a time. This invention also enhances the ability of small electronic devices to display textual information by providing a method of display which is more suitable for small display areas. The invention is made up of two sections. The first analyzes the text to be displayed and grades each word in such a way as to substantially anticipate the difficulty in understanding each word the reader will have when it subsequently is displayed. The first section then tags each word with several values creating a file which can then be read by the second section which then uses the tags to determine how the word is to be displayed. Emphasis and de-emphasis is provided through length of display, color, size, and opacity. Provision is also made for the inclusion of graphics, videos, and audio.

39. A method for presenting an electronic document to a viewer to facilitate comprehension and control display and speed of delivery, comprising the steps of:
-
assigning an emphasis value to each word in the electronic document using a knowledge database thereby generating a first tagged file of assigned emphasis values for each word; processing the first tagged file in a computer system, including deriving emphasis values for recognizability and comprehensibility and pairing selected words as a cognitive cluster to be treated as one word, to generate a second tagged file of derived emphasis values; processing the second tagged file in the computer system, including facilitating editing of properties of selected words and cognitive clusters in the electronic document, to generate a property deliverable file that dynamically controls the presentation of the electronic document to the viewer; and presenting the electronic document to the viewer on an electronic display device or printer. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69)

70. A computer system for presenting an electronic document to a viewer to facilitate comprehension and control display and speed of delivery, the computer system including a computer program product, the computer program product comprising:
-
program instructions that group selected words into a cognitive cluster to be treated as a single word; program instructions that assign an emphasis value to each word and cognitive cluster in the electronic document using a knowledge database thereby generating a first tagged file of assigned emphasis values for each word and cognitive cluster; program instructions that process the first tagged file, including deriving emphasis values for recognizability and comprehensibility, to generate a second tagged file of derived emphasis values; program instructions that process the second tagged file, including facilitating editing of properties of selected words and cognitive clusters in the electronic document, to generate a property deliverable file that dynamically controls the presentation of the electronic document to the viewer; a printer or an electronic display device; and program instructions that present the electronic document to the viewer on the electronic display device or to the printer. - View Dependent Claims (71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100)
