APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTEXT-BASED HIGHLIGHTING OF AN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT

摘要

A computer-readable apparatus and method for intelligently analysing and highlighting key words, phrases, sentences and/or components of an electronic document by applying the context of both the electronic document and the user. The apparatus and method produce an electronic output highlight document from a user s electronic input document. An application context module determines, with respect to the input document, the type of document it is. A user context module determines the context of the user with respect to the input document. A highlighter module determines at least a portion of the key content of the input document (up to a predetermined maximum data size) at least in part on the basis of the determinations made by the application and user context modules. Means are further provided for producing an output document from the key content.
