1. An indexing system for an electronic binder configured to organize elements or components of heterogeneous documents, the indexing system comprising:
- an end user device having a first processor and a first non-transitory memory configured to store device instructions that cause the first processor;
to receive user instruction to create a binder, the binder having a binder index including a first section and a second section,to receive user instruction to link a first document element to the first section of the binder index, the first document element comprising a portion of a first document, andfurther to receive user instruction to link a second document element to the second section of the binder index, the second document element comprising a portion of a second document;
a server coupled to the end user device, the server having a second processor and a second non-transitory memory configured to store server instructions that cause the second processor;
to receive a request from the end user device to create the binder,to create binder records corresponding to the binder,to receive a request from the end user device to link the first document element with the first section of the binder index,to create a first pointer corresponding to a source location of the first document element and link the first pointer to the first section of the binder index,to receive a request from the end user device to link the second document element with the second section of the binder index, andto create a second pointer corresponding to a source location of the second document element and link the second pointer to the second section of the binder index; and
a database store coupled to the server, the database store having a third processor and a third non-transitory memory configured to store database instructions that cause the third processor;
to receive and store the binder records created by the server,to receive and store the first pointer and information related to linking the first pointer to the first section of the binder index, andto receive and store the second pointer and information related to linking the second pointer to the second section of the binder index.

Abstract
Devices, methods and systems are disclosed herein to describe a document element indexing system which efficiently organizes different files or the constituent parts of different files into an index, thereby allowing users to easily and efficiently access, annotate and/or review the desired information. The indexing system may be applied to organize components of homogeneous and/or heterogeneous file types.

11. An indexing system for an electronic binder configured to organize elements or components of heterogeneous documents, the indexing system comprising:
-
a first processor; a first non-transitory memory device coupled to the first processor, and configured to store instructions that when executed by the first processor, causes the first processor to perform; receiving user instruction to create a binder, the binder having a binder index including a first section and a second section, receiving user instruction to link a first document element to the first section of the binder index, the first document element comprising a portion of a first document, and receiving user instruction to link a second document element to the second section of the binder index, the second document element comprising a portion of a second document; a second processor; a second non-transitory memory device coupled to the second processor, and configured to store instructions that when executed by the second processor, causes the second processor to perform; receiving a request from the first processor to create the binder, creating binder records corresponding to the binder, receiving a request from the first processor to link the first document element to the first section of the binder index, creating a first pointer corresponding to a source location of the first document element, linking the first pointer to the first section of the binder index, receiving a request from the first processor to link the second document element to the second section of the binder index, creating a second pointer corresponding to a source location of the second document element, and linking the second pointer to the second section of the binder index. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of indexing an electronic binder configured to organize elements or components of heterogeneous documents, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a end user device, user instruction to create a binder, the binder having a binder index including a first section and a second section; receiving, at the end user device, user instruction to link a first document element to the first section of the binder index, the first document element comprising a portion of a first document; receiving, at the end user device, user instruction to link a second document element to the second section of the binder index, the second document element comprising a portion of a second document; receiving, at a server, a request from the end user device to create the binder; creating, at the server, binder records corresponding to the binder; receiving, at the server, a request from the end user device to link the first document element to the first section of the binder index; creating, at the server, a first pointer corresponding to a source location of the first document element; linking, at the server, the first pointer to the first section of the binder index; receiving, at the server, a request from the end user device to link the second document element to the second section of the binder index; creating, at the server, a second pointer corresponding to a source location of the second document element; and linking, at the server, the second pointer to the second section of the binder index. - View Dependent Claims (20)
