METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EMPHASIZING FREE FORM NOTATION

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for ordering a series of detected free form notations according to the importance degree of each notation and displaying the importance degrees of the notations. PSOLUTION: The system is constituted to automatically emphasize the free form notations contained in an electronic document based on the importance degree determined for each of the notations. The degree of importance of each notation is determined by a mark parser for dividing the notations to groups, classifying them by types, and ordering them. A weighed value is assigned to each of the notations grouped, ordered and classified by types based on time and spatial information. Further, the display characteristic of the weighted notation is changed based on the weighted value. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
