SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING REMINDERS IN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS

摘要

A user (10) reads an electronic document (ED) (200) stored in a storage (300) using an electronic document reading system (EDRS) (100). A reminder creation system automatically creates reminders for the ED (200) that are subliminally remembered by the user thereby allowing the user to quickly locate particular passages by browsing the document until the reminder corresponding to the particular passage is recognized. The RCS (400) obtains a description of each of one or more areas within ED (200) for which a corresponding reminder is to be created and presented to the user. Next, the RCS 400 obtains the characteristics of each corresponding reminder to be created and presented to the user. Then, the RCS (400) causes the reminder corresponding to each of the one or more areas to be presented to the user each time EDRS (100) presents the respective area to the user.
