Contextual searching of electronic records and visual rule construction
First Claim
1. A system for searching one or more electronic records and displaying relevant data based on the search, the system comprising:
- a processor; and
one or more non-transitory program storage devices readable by the processor, tangibly embodying a searching unit, a visual interface and a statistical analyzer executable by the processor,wherein the searching unit is configured to search for text in the one or more electronic records that are within a context of an entered query string, wherein the context is influenced by text that precedes or follows an instance of the entered query string in the one or more electronic records wherein a context type describes a structure in which the instance of the entered query string may be presented in the one or more electronic records, wherein the context type comprises at least a phrasal context, a bullet context, or a list context,wherein the statistical analyzer is configured to analyze results of the search, provide search statistics, and order the results associated with the entered query string based on the search statistics and the context of the entered query string, andwherein the visual interface is configured to display the search statistics and the results of the search presented in the structure corresponding to the context type.

Abstract
A web-based system for visual construction of logical rules includes a server, a network, and client operatively connected to the server via the network. The server includes a database and a search engine. The client includes a web-based visual rule building application including selectable windows for displaying and visually editing terms, logical operators, logical rules for storage in the database. The logical rules are generated by visually selecting at least one of the terms and logical operators from the windows. The server may further include a search engine configured to perform at least one of a direct search or a contextual search for an entered query string in records stored in the database and the client may include a visual interface for displaying results of the searches. The search results generated by the search engine may be stored as terms in the database for subsequent rule generation.

15. A method for searching one or more electronic records and displaying relevant data based on the search, the method comprising:
-
searching, by a computer, for text in the one or more electronic records that are within a context of an entered query string, wherein the context is influenced by text that precedes or follows an instance of the entered query string in the one or more electronic records, wherein a context type describes a structure in which the instance of the entered query string may be presented in the one or more electronic records, wherein the context type comprises at least a phrasal context, a bullet context, or a list context; calculating, by the computer, search statistics based on results of the search and ordering the results associated with the entered query string based on the search statistics and the context of the entered query string; and displaying, by the computer, the search statistics and the results of the search presented in the structure corresponding to the context type. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
