System and method for dynamically configuring content-driven relationships among data elements

摘要

A computer system configures data elements based on textual sources by identifying subunits of a textual source, indexing the subunits into a sequence comprised of terms, identifies based on a target a base subsequence of the sequence, and stores the terms in such a way that they can be expanded or contracted and a user can rapidly and efficiently derive relevant information and context even from a vast amount of information including by navigable display to the user. Other methods and systems of configuring and displaying data elements from textual sources are provided.

1. A system for configuring relationships among data elements of a textual source, the data elements stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising:
a processor, and a computer memory in communication with said processor, wherein the processor is programmed to: identify one or more subunits of said textual source, wherein said one or more subunits correspond to, respectively, one or more sentences, and store said subunits in a computer memory; index said subunits to form a sequence, said sequence comprised of one or more terms, and store said sequence in said computer memory wherein said sequence preserves said one or more terms in an order determined by said corresponding subunits in said textual source; identify, based on a search query, a base subsequence of said sequence, said base subsequence comprised of one or more terms of said sequence, said base subsequence preserving the order of said subsequence, wherein each of said one or more terms of said base subsequence contains said search query; store said base subsequence in said computer memory in such a manner that said base subsequence is structured for expansion by adding one or more terms from said sequence wherein each of said one or more added terms from said sequence does not contain said search query; add, in response to a first user request, said one or more added terms from said sequence, causing an expanded result; store the expanded result; and format for display, in response to a second user request, the expanded result.
