Abstract

Predmet izuma je postopek in naprava za samodejni prikaz že vnesenih kontekstov besede izvedbo in prikaz besedilnega kontekstnega okna, ki uporabniku omogoča večjo učinkovitost pri pisanju besedil. Kontekstno okno prikazuje kontekste besede, to je dosedanja pojavljanja besede, obkrožene z izbranim številom sosednjih besed. Med vnašanjem ali pregledovanjem besedila, odpremo besedilno kontekstno okno in v njem samodejno in v realnem času prikazujemo kontekst pravkar natipkanih ali označenih besed. Nova beseda, ki jo določimo s presledkom in izbranim; številom črk, se prikaže s svojimi konteksti v besedilnem kontekstnem oknu, kot je bila vnesena ali pa tudi v njenih slovničnih oblikah. Kratke besede lahko, z izbiro manjšega števila črk v besedi, izključimo iz kontekstne obdelave. Postopek, ki ga je možno vgraditi v sisteme za vnašanje in obdelavo besedil, uporabniku omogoča neprestan pregled nad vsemi obstoječimi konteksti pravkar vnesene besede, kar poveča njegovo učinkovitost ter kakovost besedila.The subject of the invention is a process and a device for automatically displaying already introduced context contexts for the word execution and displaying a text context window that allows the user to improve the efficiency of writing texts. The context window shows the contexts of the word, that is to say the appearance of the word, surrounded by a selected number of adjacent words. While typing or viewing a text, we open a text context window and in it automatically and in real time we display the context of just typed or tagged words. A new word that is defined by a space and selected; the number of letters is displayed with its context in a text context window as it was entered or also in its grammar formats. Short words can be excluded from contextual processing by selecting a smaller number of letters in the word. A process that can be embedded into text input and processing systems allows the user to continuously view all the existing contexts of the words just entered, which increases the efficiency and text quality of the text.

Description

Postopek in naprava za izvedbo besedilnega kontekstnega oknaProcedure and device for executing a text context window

Izum se navezuje na področje vnosa in obdelave informacij v računalniško podprtih napravah. Bolj usmerjeno, se izum navezuje na področje vnosa besedila, podprtega s konteksti predhodno vnesenega besedila.The invention relates to the field of information input and processing in computer-aided devices. More specifically, the invention relates to the field of text input, supported by the contexts of previously entered text.

Prikaz tehničnega problemaDemonstration of a technical problem

Pri ustvarjanju besedilnega dokumenta, članka, eseja ali podobno, uporabljamo besede in besedne zveze, ki smo jih, v že napisanem besedilu, že uporabili. Dostikrat ne vemo, v kakšnih povezavah-kontekstu smo trenutno besedo uporabili. Zato lahko pride do napak in nekonsistentnosti, ki je nezaželena, v strokovnih in znanstvenih člankih pa tudi nedopustna.When creating a text document, article, essay or the like, we use words and phrases that we have already used in the written text. We often do not know what kind of contextual contexts we used the word for. Therefore, errors and inconsistencies may be unwanted and also inadmissible in professional and scientific articles.

Kontekst v tej prijavi opredelimo kot prikaz izbranega števila sosednjih besed v že obstoječem besedilu, ki se pojavijo pred in po vpisani besedi ali v splošnem, pred in po vpisanem zaporedju znakov. Na primer kontekst besede prikaz v prejšnjem stavku je: prijavi opredelimo kot prikaz izbranega števila sosednjih.We define the context in this application as displaying a selected number of adjacent words in pre-existing text that appear before and after a typed word, or in general, before and after a typed character sequence. For example, the context of the word impression in the previous sentence is: We define the report as displaying the selected number of adjacent ones.

Veliko urejevalnikov besedila ima možnost ročnega iskanja izbrane besede ali v splošnem zaporedja znakov v besedilu. Nekateri urejevalniki besedil imajo možnost aktivirati funkcijo iskanja in, z vpisom iskanega zaporedja znakov v besedilu, ne samo najti pojavitve vpisanega zaporedja znakov v izbrani smeri iskanja, ampak hkrati najti in prikazati vsa pojavljanja iskanega zaporedja znakov v že vnesenem besedilu. Nekatere rešitve označijo iskan niz ali pa prikažejo vse kontekste iz obstoječega besedila. Nobena od rešitev pa ne prikazuje konteksta vnesenih besed samodejno in v realnem času, to je med pisanjem besedila, kot je predlagano v tem izumu.Many text editors have the ability to manually search for the selected word or, in general, the sequence of characters in the text. Some word processors have the ability to activate the search function and, by typing the search character sequence in the text, not only find the occurrence of the character sequence entered in the selected search direction, but at the same time find and display all occurrences of the searchable character sequence in the text already entered. Some solutions highlight the search string or display all contexts in existing text. None of the solutions, however, show the context of the words entered automatically and in real time, that is, while writing the text as proposed in the present invention.

Tehnični problem, ki ga rešuje izum, je izvedba sočasnega in samodejnega prikaza vseh kontekstov pravkar vnesene besede z jasno oznako mesta pojavljanja konteksta, kar omogoča uporabniku, da vidi kako je besedo uporabil v že napisanem delu dokumenta, na primer, ali jo je že opredelil, je bila uporabljena konsistentno, in podobno. Ni mu treba iskati ročno po že vnesenem besedilu, s čimer poveča učinkovitost svojega dela. Na enak način lahko uporabnik izkoristi prednosti predlaganega izuma, ko na primer pregleduje ali popravlja že prej napisano besedilo. V takem primeru označi besedo in prikažejo se vsi njeni konteksti z jasno oznako mesta pojavljanja konteksta. Omogočen je hiter premik na mesto pojavljanja posameznega konteksta.A technical problem solved by the invention is the simultaneous and automatic display of all contexts of the word just entered, with a clear marking of the context where the context appears, allowing the user to see how he or she used the word in a pre-written part of the document, for example, or having already defined it , has been used consistently, and the like. He does not have to search manually for the text he has already entered, thus increasing the efficiency of his work. In the same way, the user can take advantage of the present invention by, for example, reviewing or revising previously written text. In such a case, the word is highlighted and all its contexts are displayed with a clear indication of where the context appeared. You can quickly move to where each context appears.

Naprava za rešitev tehničnega problema je zgrajena iz večine standardnih in poznanih enot, ki so funkcionalno povezane na nov način. V osebni računalnik vnašamo besedilo z enim od poznanih urejevalnikov besedil. Besedilo se shranjuje v pomnilnik in prikazuje na delovnem oknu urejevalnika. Dodan je nov proces, ki v realnem času, to je med vnosom besedila, samodejno išče kontekst - okolico pravkar vtipkane besede, in ga prikaže v dodatnem besedilnem oknu z uporabo poznanih in dostopnih programskih orodji. Omogoča še nastavljanje dolžine konteksta in področje iskanja kontekstov. Mesto najdenega konteksta označi, npr. s stranjo, vrstico in stolpcem besedila ter omogoči pregledovanje kontekstov in hiter premik na mesto izbranega konteksta.The device for solving the technical problem is built of most standard and known units that are functionally connected in a new way. We enter text into one of our well-known word processors on a PC. The text is stored in memory and displayed on the editor's work window. Added a new process that automatically searches for context - the surroundings of a word just typed - as it enters text, and displays it in an additional text window using known and accessible software tools. It also allows you to set the context length and context search area. Mark the location of the found context, e.g. with a page, row, and column of text, and lets you view contexts and move quickly to the location of the selected context.

Stanje tehnikeThe state of the art

Prikaz besede v kontekstu-pomenu je osnovna tehnika v indeksiranju KWIC (Key Word in Context), začetnik katerega je Hans Peter Luhn. Kontekstni prikaz je razširjen v lingvističnih orodjih (Concordance Tools), kjer se kontekst v predlagani obliki zapisa, in na zahtevo uporabnika, izloči iz neke obsežnejše zbirke dokumentov. Primeri tovrstnih programov so Concordance, MonoConc in WordSmith.Presenting a word in context-meaning is a basic technique in KWIC (Key Word in Context) indexing, initiated by Hans Peter Luhn. Contextual representation is extended in Concordance Tools, where the context in the proposed format, and at the request of the user, is excluded from a larger collection of documents. Examples of such programs are Concordance, MonoConc and WordSmith.

V več komercialnih orodjih za urejanje besedila ter v nekaj urejevalnikih besedila, ki sodijo med prosto programsko opremo po licenci GNU (General Public License) je izvedena podobna oblika prikazovanja konteksta, toda na zahtevo.Several commercial text editing tools, as well as some text editors, which are free software under the GNU (General Public License) have a similar form of context rendering, but on request.

Bralnik podjetja Adobe (verzija 9) v iskalnem oknu prikaže vse pojavitve izbranega iskalnega niza, vključno s kontekstom, kot je bil opredeljen zgoraj. V tem primeru je kontekst prikazan z besedo pred iskalnim nizom in z več besedami za njim. Prav tako je dostopna informacija o strani in omogočen premik na lokacijo v besedilu, kot je predlagan tudi v našem izumu.Adobe Reader (Version 9) displays all occurrences of the selected search string in the search window, including the context as defined above. In this case, the context is displayed with the word in front of the search string and with multiple words after it. The page information is also accessible and it is possible to move to a location in the text, as also proposed in our invention.

Podobno funkcionalnost najdemo tudi v klasičnem urejevalniku besedila GNU Emacs, ki na zahtevo (M-x occur) v podoknu prikaže vse pojavitve iskalnega niza v kontekstu ene vrstice. Tudi specifično razvojno orodje, npr. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, lahko prikaže na zahtevo na primer vse klice podprograma, kontekst pa so v tem primeru celotne programske vrstice v izvorni kodi.Similar functionality is found in the classic GNU Emacs text editor, which, on request (M-x occur), displays all search string occurrences in a single line context in a pane. Also a specific development tool, e.g. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, for example, can display on request all subroutine calls, but the context in this case is the entire program bar in the source code.

Področje prikazovanja in obdelave informacij, še posebej besedila, pokriva okrog sto patentov iz ameriških ali evropskih baz. V nadaljevanju omenjamo le nekatere od njih, ki so najbolj povezani s predlaganim izumom.The field of information display and processing, especially text, covers about one hundred patents from US or European databases. The following are only a few of the ones most closely related to the present invention.

Patentna prijava GB 2416877 iz leta 2006, ščiti sistem in metodo za kontekstno občutljivo upravljanje v več aplikacijah, ki delujejo hkrati, in s kontekstnim ko-procesorjem, ki avtomatično reagira na uporabnikov vnos in prikaže kontekstno povezano informacijo v ločenem oknu. Definicija konteksta je nedorečena, s čimer je lahko kontekst kakršna koli relacija, opredeljena s strani uporabnika, ki povezuje vhodne in izhodne podatke. Prikazana kontekstna informacija je odvisna od vrste in stanja ene ali več odprtih aplikacij in v splošnem izvira iz dodatnih zunanjih podatkovnih virov, ni pa vezana na vsebino besedila. Ta patent opisuje ciljno področje v upravljanju podatkov dostopnih v več različnih podatkovnih bazah. Pri našem predlogu izuma pa besedilno kontekstno okno prikazuje dobro opredeljene kontekste-zaporedja iz besedil.Patent Application GB 2416877 of 2006, protects a system and method for context-sensitive management in multiple applications running simultaneously, with a context co-processor that automatically responds to user input and displays context-related information in a separate window. The definition of the context is vague, which can make the context any relation defined by the user connecting the input and output. The contextual information displayed depends on the type and status of one or more open applications and generally originates from additional external data sources but is not related to the content of the text. This patent describes a target area in the management of data accessible in several different databases. In our invention, however, a text context window displays well-defined context sequences from texts.

V patentu US-2002/0186252 Al je opisana metoda, naprava in računalniški program za izvedbo kontekstnega okna na računalniškem prikazovalniku. V izumu je predlagan dodatek oknu v obliki stranskega drsnika, kjer je shematično predstavljen celoten dokument ter označen del, ki je trenutno na ekranu. Ostali dokumenti so označeni s kontekstom-vsebino, na primer besedilo, video, avdio in podobno. Če uporabnik želi hitro preiti v drugi del dokumenta, ga preprosto izbere na drsniku in hip zatem je ta del dokumenta že na prikazovalniku. Predlagan postopek se danes uporablja predvsem v mobilnih osebnih terminalih s prikazovalniki, občutljivimi na dotik.US-2002/0186252 Al describes a method, a device and a computer program for executing a context window on a computer display. The invention proposes an addition to a side slider window where the entire document is schematically represented and the portion currently on the screen is highlighted. Other documents are marked with contextual content, such as text, video, audio, and the like. If the user wants to quickly move to another part of the document, he simply selects it on the slider, and then that part of the document is already on the display. The proposed procedure is used today mainly in mobile personal terminals with touch screens.

V patentu US-2009/0313586 Al je opisano okno za predogled enega ali več računalniških virov, ki omogoča hitrejše doseganje le-teh. Na primer doseganje datotek ali map je s pomočjo okna za predogled veliko hitrejše kot z uporabo konvencionalnih hierarhičnih spiskov datotek in map. Okno za predogled prikazuje shranjeno vsebino v kontekstnem pogledu, ki kaže glede na to kje je vsebina shranjena, ne da bi bilo treba odpreti ločeno okno za iskanje shranjene vsebine.US-2009/0313586 Al discloses a preview window for one or more computer resources to achieve them faster. For example, accessing files or folders is much faster with the help of a preview window than using conventional hierarchical lists of files and folders. The preview window displays the stored content in a contextual view that shows where the content is stored without having to open a separate window to search for stored content.

Po našem vedenju nobeden od pregledanih, nam dostopnih, patentov s področja urejanja in obdelave informacij, ne vsebuje osnovne ideje, na kateri sloni besedilno kontekstno okno, tako kot je opisano v tej patentni prijavi.To our knowledge, none of the patents in the field of editing and processing of information reviewed, accessible to us, contains the basic idea on which the text context window is based, as described in this patent application.

Predlagani izum sodi po mednarodni patentni klasifikaciji, v področje G06F 3/048.The present invention belongs to the international patent classification, in the field G06F 3/048.

Opis rešitve problema in izvedbenega primeraDescription of the solution to the problem and the implementation case

Tehnično rešitev za samodejno prikazovanje kontekstnega okna bomo opisali z izvedbenim primerom, ki je skiciran na sliki 1. Obstoječemu sistemu za vnos besedil, ki je izveden na primer • « na osebnem računalniku, dodamo računalniški proces, podrobneje prikazan na sliki 2. Ta proces izvaja postopek za izvedbo besedilnega kontekstnega okna s tem, da sproti uporablja vneseno besedilo, identificira besedo, poišče vse kontekste izbranih dolžin, določi njihova mesta in jih prikaže v besedilnem kontekstnem oknu. Pri identifikaciji besede lahko uporablja modul, ki upošteva različne slovnične oblike vnesene besede. Skica prikazovalnika s standardnim delovnim oknom in predlaganim besedilnim kontekstnim oknom, ki je rezultat predlagane tehnične rešitve, je prikazana na sliki 3.We will describe the technical solution for automatically displaying a context window using the example shown in Figure 1. To an existing text entry system that is executed for example • «on a personal computer, we add the computer process shown in more detail in Figure 2. This process is performed a process for executing a text context window by using the text entered on an ongoing basis, identifying the word, finding all contexts of the selected lengths, determining their locations and displaying them in the text context window. In identifying a word, it can use a module that takes into account the different grammatical forms of the word entered. A sketch of the display with the standard work window and the proposed text context window resulting from the proposed technical solution is shown in Figure 3.

Uporabnik lahko izkoristi prednosti predlaganega izuma na enak način, ko na primer pregleduje ali popravlja že prej napisano besedilo. V takem primeru se z označitvijo besede prikažejo se vsi njeni konteksti z jasno oznako mesta pojavljanja konteksta. V obeh primerih je možno pregledovanje kontekstov ter hiter premik na mesto pojavljanja posameznega konteksta.The user can take advantage of the present invention in the same way, for example, by reviewing or revising previously written text. In this case, highlighting the word shows all its contexts with a clear indication of where the context appeared. In both cases it is possible to review the contexts and move quickly to the place where the individual context appears.

Področje iskanja konteksta je običajno datoteka v katero vpisujemo besedilo. Predlagan izum deluje na enak način tudi če razširimo področje iskanja na več datotek, ki so lahko locirane na osebnem računalniku ali pa na več prostorsko porazdeljenih in medsebojno povezanih računalnikih, kar danes označujejo besede: računalniški oblak (cloud), računalniški skupek (cluster), računalniško omrežje (grid) in podobno.The contextual search area is usually a file in which to enter text. The present invention works in the same way, even if we extend the scope of the search to more files that can be located on a personal computer or on more spatially distributed and interconnected computers, which today are referred to as: cloud, computer cluster, computer network (grid) and the like.

Tehnična rešitev za izvedbo besedilnega kontekstnega okna je podrobneje opisana s slikami, ki prikazujejo:The technical solution for implementing the text context window is described in more detail with pictures that show:

Slika 1. Izvedbeni primer naprave za prikaz besedilnega kontekstnega oknaFigure 1. Execution example of a device for displaying a text context window

Slika 2. Proces za izvedbo besedilnega kontekstnega oknaFigure 2. Process for executing a text context window

Slika 3. Primer delovnega in besedilnega kontekstnega oknaFigure 3. Example of a working and text context window

Slika 1 prikazuje blokovno shemo naprave za izvedbo besedilnega kontekstnega okna, ki je sestavljena iz računalnika 1, računalniškega ekrana 2, tipkovnice 3 in miške 4 za vnos besedila preko vhodno/izhodnega vmesnika 5 v pomnilnik 6. Računalnik 1 nadalje vključuje proces 8 za izvedbo delovnega okna in proces 9 za izvedbo besedilnega kontekstnega okna. Tako delovno okno 7 kot besedilno kontekstno okno 10 se prikažeta na ekranu. Postopek prikaza besedila na običajnem delovnem oknu 7 izvaja proces 8 za izvedbo delovnega okna, ki omogoča poleg vnosa in prikaza besedila še ostale dobro poznane funkcije današnjih urejevalnikov besedil (urejanje, iskanje, kopiranje, itd.). Temu, doslej dobro poznanemu sistemu, je dodana nova funkcionalnost, ki rešuje tehnični problem sprotnega prikazovanja konteksta besede, in sicer je dodan proces 9 za izvedbo besedilnega kontekstnega okna, ki išče pretekle kontekste vnesene ali označene besede ali dela besede, najde njihovo lokacijo v besedilu in jih med vnosom sproti in samodejno prikazuje v besedilnem kontekstnem oknu 10. Komunikacija med procesoma 8 in 9 je potrebna v primeru, da mora proces 8 dodeliti procesu 9 pravice za branje vnesenega besedila. Proces 9 omogoča pregled nad konteksti in izbiro nekega konteksta iz kontekstnega okna 10 ter hiter premik na njegovo lokacijo v delovnem oknu 7.Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a device for executing a text context window consisting of a computer 1, a computer screen 2, a keyboard 3, and a mouse 4 for entering text via input / output interface 5 into memory 6. Computer 1 further includes a process 8 for executing a working windows and process 9 to execute a text context window. Both Work Window 7 and Text Context Window 10 appear on the screen. The process of displaying text on a regular work window 7 is performed by a process 8 for executing a work window, which, in addition to entering and displaying text, provides other well-known features of today's word processors (editing, searching, copying, etc.). To this well-known system, new functionality is added that solves the technical problem of displaying the context of a word by adding a process 9 to execute a text context window that searches for past contexts of an entered or highlighted word or part of a word, finds their location in the text and, as they type, promptly and automatically display them in a text context window 10. Communication between processes 8 and 9 is required if process 8 is to grant process 9 permissions to read the entered text. Process 9 lets you view contexts and select a context from context window 10, and quickly navigate to its location in work window 7.

Podobno velja za druge oblike izvedbenih primerov, ki lahko delujejo tudi na drugačnih pojavnih oblikah informacije, kot na primer video, binarne datoteke in podobno, s kontekstom, ki je opredeljen z okolico trenutno vnesene ali označene enote informacije. Besedilno kontekstno okno sedaj postane informacijsko kontekstno okno. V splošnem je lahko proces za izvedbo informacijskega kontekstnega okna, posplošitev procesa 9, in je izveden v obliki računalniškega programa ali pa v obliki elektronskih programirljivih enot.Similar is the case with other embodiments, which may also act on other forms of information, such as video, binaries, and the like, with a context defined by the environment of the currently entered or marked unit of information. The text context window now becomes an information context window. In general, it may be a process for executing an information context window, a generalization of process 9, and may be performed in the form of a computer program or in the form of electronic programmable units.

Predmet izuma je naprava in postopek, ki omogoča izvedbo in prikaz besedilnega kontekstnega okna 10, pri čemer je v obstoječo napravo vključen proces 9 za izvedbo in za pridobitev vsebine kontekstnega okna 10. Proces 9 je lahko neodvisen od urejevalnika besedila ali pa je njegov del.The object of the invention is a device and a process that enables the execution and display of a text context window 10, wherein an existing device includes a process 9 for executing and retrieving the contents of the context window 10. The process 9 may be independent of or part of a text editor.

Slika 2 prikazuje zgradbo procesa za izvedbo besedilnega kontekstnega okna 9, ki rešuje tehnični problem predlaganega izuma. Zagon in prenehanje delovanja upravlja modul 11 za aktiviranje in ustavljanje procesa za izvedbo besedilnega kontekstnega okna. Delovanje modula 11 se lahko sproži samodejno ali pa na zahtevo uporabnika. Modul 11 sporoči modulu 12 za komunikacijo s procesom za izvedbo delovnega okna 8, da bo prikazoval kontekste in zaprosi proces 8 za dovoljenje za branje podatkov iz pomnilnika. Ko je dovoljenje pridobljeno, modul 11 omogoči delovanje modula 13 za branje vmesnega pomnilnika in posledično vseh ostalih modulov procesa 9. Modul 14 za zaznavanje nove vnesene ali označene besede deluje v osnovni izvedbi tako, da ob izbranem številu vnesenih znakov, predhodno ločenih od prejšnje besede s presledkom, ločilom ali drugimi izbranimi znaki, zazna novo besedo ali njen del in aktivira modul 15 za iskanje kontekstov.Figure 2 shows the structure of a process for executing a text context window 9 that solves a technical problem of the present invention. Startup and shutdown are managed by module 11 to activate and stop the process for executing the text context window. Module 11 can be activated automatically or at the user's request. Module 11 communicates to module 12 to communicate with the process for executing work window 8 to display contexts and request process 8 for permission to read data from memory. Once approved, Module 11 enables Module 13 to read the buffer and consequently all other Modules of Process 9. The Module 14 for detecting a new typed or tagged word operates in a basic embodiment such that, with the selected number of characters entered, previously separated from the previous word with a space, punctuation mark, or other selected characters, detects a new word or part of it, and activates the context search module 15.

Iskanje kontekstov sloni na preiskovanju besedila in primerjanju z vneseno besedo. Vsako ponavljanje zaporedja znakov ali besed se lahko označi z dodatnimi atributi o položaju označenega besedila, času njegovega vnosa ali podobno. Modul 15 izvaja postopke iskanja, arhiviranja, optimiziranja in podobnih funkcij za obdelavo informacij, ki povečajo učinkovitost izvedbe.Finding contexts is based on searching the text and comparing it with the word you type. Each repetition of a sequence of characters or words can be indicated by additional attributes about the position of the highlighted text, the time it was typed, or the like. Module 15 performs search, archive, optimization and similar information processing operations that increase execution efficiency.

Če imamo na voljo modul, ki razpozna tudi slovnične oblike vnesene besede, kot na primer sklone, spole čase itd., lahko najdemo kontekst tudi za vse slovnične oblike vnesene besede.If we have a module that also recognizes the grammatical forms of the word entered, such as pronouns, gender, etc., we can also find context for all grammatical forms of the word entered.

Iskanje kontekstov se konča ob vnosu presledka ali drugih predhodno določenih znakov, ki sledijo besedi.The context search ends when you enter a space or other predefined characters following the word.

Takoj, ko se najde prvi kontekst, modul 15 aktivira modul 16 za prikaz kontekstov, ki vse najdene kontekste s pripadajočimi atributi prikaže v besedilnem kontekstnem oknu 10. Vsaka nadaljnja beseda, ki jo napišemo ali označimo, se prikaže v kontekstnemu oknu z izbranim številom besed pred njo in za njo - z njenim kontekstom ter z oznako mesta konteksta, npr. stran, vrstica, stolpec ali podobno.As soon as the first context is found, module 15 activates the context display module 16, which displays all found contexts with associated attributes in the text context window 10. Each further word that is written or highlighted is displayed in the context window with the selected number of words in front of and behind it - with its context and with the location mark of the context, e.g. page, row, column, or the like.

Uporabnik lahko spreminja nastavitve 17 za proces 9 kot je označeno s črtkanimi puščicami. Uporabnik lahko posreduje zahteve o formatu prikazovanja. Uporabnik lahko spremeni dolžino konteksta, to je število besed pred in za vneseno besedo, ki je privzeto nastavljena na 3. Prikazovanje konteksta nove besede se začne po zaporednem vpisu določenega števila črk nove besede. Uporabnik lahko spremeni število potrebnih črk, ki je privzeto nastavljena na 3. Kontekst kratkih besed kot so vezniki, zaimki, predlogi itd., se s tem lahko izključi iz prikazovanja. Uporabnik lahko izbere tudi področje iskanja kontekstov.The user can change the settings 17 for process 9 as indicated by the dashed arrows. The user can submit display format requirements. The user can change the length of the context, that is, the number of words before and after the word entered, which is set to 3. By default, the display of the new word context begins after the number of letters of the new word is entered in sequence. The user can change the number of letters required by default, set to 3. The context of short words such as hyphens, pronouns, prepositions, etc. can thus be excluded from display. The user can also select the context search area.

Opisan je primer procesa 9 za vnos besedilnih informacij. Tehnična rešitev se lahko analogno uporabi tudi za druge oblike informacij.An example of process 9 for entering text information is described. The technical solution can be used analogously for other forms of information.

Slika 3 prikazuje delovno okno 7 z vnesenim delom besedila in ustrezno besedilno kontekstno okno 10. Zadnja vnesena beseda v delovno okno je bila okno, zato se v 10 pojavijo vsi prejšnji vnosi te besede s sosednjimi besedami - kontekstom. Področje iskanja konteksta je nastavljeno na datoteko c:\roman\patent.txt. Dolžina konteksta je nastavljena na 2, dolžina besede pa na 3.Figure 3 shows the work window 7 with the text entered and the corresponding text context window 10. The last word entered in the work window was a window, so in 10 all previous entries of that word with the adjacent words - context appear. The context search area is set to c: \ novel \ patent.txt. The context length is set to 2 and the word length to 3.

Konteksti besede, ki so v prikazanem primeru sestavljeni iz dveh besed pred in za pravkar vtipkano besedo, so nanizani v oknu kot se pojavljajo v vnesenem besedilu z oznakami strani in vrstic.The word contexts, in the example shown, consist of two words before and for the word just typed, are listed in the window as they appear in the entered text with page and line labels.

Uporabnik lahko z miškinim klikom v besedilnem kontekstnem oknu preide v delovno okno na mesto dokumenta, kjer se je pojavil izbrani kontekst. Na ta način si lahko ogleda vse prejšnje relevantne vnose, lahko pa se vrne tudi na konec dokumenta in nadaljuje z vnašanjem besedila.The user can click in the text context window to go to the working window of the document where the selected context appears. This way it can view all the previous relevant entries, but it can also return to the end of the document and continue typing.

Možne so različne izpopolnjene inačice izvedbe opisanega izuma, ki pa vse slonijo na samodejnem iskanju in prikazovanju kontekstov vnesene ali označene informacije, med vnašanjem.Various sophisticated embodiments of the present invention are possible, all of which are based on the automatic search and display of contexts of entered or annotated information as you type.
