Automatic reference note generator
First Claim
1. A method for reference note generation, comprising:
- receiving a first user input that identifies a designated insertion point in a destination document;
subsequent to receiving the first user input, receiving a second user input that causes an information element to be copied to a transfer buffer from a source application;
collecting source reference information associated with the information element, wherein the source reference information includes a source identifier indicative of an origin of the information element;
generating a reference note based on the source reference information and a reference note format specification;
inserting the information element into the destination document, wherein the information element is inserted automatically at the designated insertion point without receiving a further user input from a user interface that is associated with the destination document; and
inserting the reference note into the destination document, wherein the reference note is associated with the information element and the reference note is inserted without receiving a user input from a user interface that is associated with the destination document.

Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for automatic reference note generation are disclosed herein. The method includes identifying an information element that has been copied to a transfer buffer, collecting source reference information associated with the information element, wherein the source reference information includes at least one source identifier indicative of an origin of the information element, generating a reference note based on the source reference information and a reference note format specification, inserting the information element into a destination document, inserting the reference note into the destination document, wherein the reference note is associated with the information element.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method for reference note generation comprising:
-
receiving a first user input that identifies a designated insertion point in a destination document; subsequent to receiving the first user input, receiving a second user input that causes an information element to be copied to a transfer buffer from a source application; collecting source reference information associated with the information element, wherein the source reference information includes a source identifier indicative of an origin of the information element; generating a reference note based on the source reference information and a reference note format specification; inserting the information element into the destination document, wherein the information is inserted automatically at the designated insertion point without receiving a further user input from a user interface that is associated with the destination document; and inserting the reference note into the destination document, wherein the reference note is inserted without receiving a user input from a user interface that is associated with the destination document. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus for reference note generation, the apparatus comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to; receive a first user input that identifies a designated insertion point in a destination document, subsequent to receipt of the first user input, receive a second user input that identifies an information element in a source application, copy the information element from the source application to the memory, collect source reference information associated with the information element, wherein the source reference information includes at least one source identifier indicative of an origin of the information element, generate a reference note based on the source reference information and a reference note format specification, insert the information element into the destination document, wherein the information is inserted automatically at the designated insertion point without receiving a further user input from a user interface that is associated with the destination document, and insert the reference note into the destination document, wherein the reference note is associated with the information element and the reference note is inserted without receiving a user input from a user interface that is associated with the destination document.
