First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving data including human-readable visual text and hidden text, wherein the hidden text is text included in the data that is not human-readable;
rendering the data including converting the data into graphically formatted data, wherein the visual text is retained within the rendered data and the hidden text is removed from the rendered data by the rendering by converting the hidden text into a graphically formatted representation of the hidden text such that the hidden text is not recognizable by optical character recognition of the graphically formatted representation of the hidden text; and
determining whether the visual text within the rendered data is unwanted.

17. A computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium, comprising:
-
computer code for receiving data including human-readable visual text and hidden text, wherein the hidden text is text included in the data that is not human-readable; computer code for rendering the data including converting the data into graphically formatted data, wherein the visual text is retained within the rendered data and the hidden text is removed from the rendered data by the rendering by converting the hidden text into a graphically formatted representation of the hidden text such that the hidden text is not recognizable by optical character recognition of the graphically formatted representation of the hidden text; and computer code for determining whether the visual text within the rendered data is unwanted.

18. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a memory element configured to store data; a processor operable to execute instructions associated with the data; a renderer for receiving data including human-readable visual text and hidden text, wherein the hidden text is text included in the data that is not human-readable, and rendering the data including converting the data into graphically formatted data, wherein the visual text is retained within the rendered data and the hidden text is removed from the rendered data by the rendering by converting the hidden text into a graphically formatted representation of the hidden text such that the hidden text is not recognizable by optical character recognition of the graphically formatted representation of the hidden text; and a module in communication with the renderer, the module adapted for being used in determining whether the visual text within the rendered data is unwanted.
