Description

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTENT TAGGING AND INDEXING

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of content processing and indexing, particularly to tagging and indexing of digital content documents. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for content tagging and indexing of contents based on lateral linking.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

[0003] Volume of data is increasing exponentially both in online and offline environment. Conventional computing systems generate vast amounts of electronic data, also referred as content that needs to be organized in efficient manner so as to allow efficient searching of documents and make more sense out of the voluminous data/content. Several attempts have been made in past to organize electronic data/content in a useful manner. Known techniques typically attempt to organize data in some order so as to facilitate efficient access, manipulation, and/or searching of data/content. Data/content in a typical document, or over the web is organized by linear tagging of contents through hyperlinks and tagging. In a typical work document, contents are tagged in linear manner and an index, also referred as table of content, is created for organized browsing of contents and for enabling quick search of the relevant contents.

[0004] "Tags" also referred as metadata may be associated with content to assist searching of the content. These tags can be created manually by the user or in some cases can be generated by an application so as to organize the content in a meaningful manner and enable searching/ retrieval of the relevant content from large volumes of data. The tagged contents can also be used to create an index or table of content to provide faster searching and browsing of content.

[0005] To be effective, the foregoing systems require consistency in the assignment of tags to data and in the tags themselves. This consistency may be provided automatically in the case of structured data, and in the case of data generated based on structured data, by simply using the underlying schema to determine the appropriate tags. [0006] Tagging of user-generated data presents difficulties. For example, a user is typically unfamiliar with an underlying schema and/or with underlying assignment conventions, and is therefore unable to properly tag user-generated data. Accordingly, this data is typically stored without tags or with tags that are not consistent with the tags of other stored data. Consequently, the user-generated data is not as effectively searchable as other system data. Most of the existing solutions for organizing huge volume of contents are based on linear tagging/ hyper linking of contents, which may not always make a meaningful grouping of content. Also, order in which the contents are organized and/or indexed is sequential in most of the existing documents. These linear linking through tagging and indexing or hyper linking of contents can't capture true relationship of contents.

[0007] Therefore there is a requirement in the art for systems and methods of tagging and indexing of contents in more meaningful manner so as to capture and reflect true relationship of content, and create sections and sub-sections of different content in a more meaningful manner. There is also a requirement in the art for systems and methods that can create relationship between different portions of logical and relevant contents and generate appropriate tables of contents/ indices.

OBJECTS OF INVENTION

[0008] An object of the present disclosure is to provide systems and methods of tagging and indexing of contents in a more meaningful manner so as to capture and reflect true relationship of contents.

[0009] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide systems and methods of tagging and indexing of contents based on one or more defined attributes.

[0010] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide systems and methods that can create sections and sub-sections of different contents in a more meaningful manner than by logical linking of contents.

[0011] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide systems and methods that can determine logical relationship between different contents and group them together to form meaningful documents or web-pages.

[0012] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide systems and methods that can generate table of contents based on logical relationship between the documents.

[0013] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide systems and methods to create automatic hyperlink of the tags so as to ease navigation of content by users. SUMMARY

[0014] This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description. This summary is not intended to identify key factors or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.

The method further includes a step of creating a table of content based on the lateral linking of content blocks for the given document.

[0017] Though the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described with reference to a single document, it is very much possible to use the systems and methods of present disclosure to take multiple documents, tag portions of contents across the multiple documents and create a single logically organized document or plurality of logically organized document that may be laterally linked. [0018] The systems and methods of present disclosure allow a user or an application program to create tags to form content blocks, associate one or more attributes with each of the content blocks and indexing and presentation of contents based on lateral linking of content blocks. In an exemplary embodiment, lateral linking between the content blocks can be defined by the user or by the application, or can be created by the systems and method of present disclosure based on one or more attributes associated with each of the content blocks. Content blocks can be laterally linked based on the logical relationship between the contents of content blocks or based on one or more attributes associated with each of these content blocks.

[0019] The system of present disclosure can be used in various applications of content consumption and delivery. In exemplary embodiment, the document can be any offline document, and/or web pages. The systems and methods of present disclosure enables interlinking of digital contents laterally by selecting the content blocks and adding attributes to each of the content blocks so as to create logical portions of the overall digital content document to present the contents of the document(s) in more meaningful manner.

[0020] In an exemplary embodiment, content throughout the document(s) or over the web can be tagged and can be linked laterally based on the logical relationship between the contents and associated tags, so as to compile the content to form sections and sub-sections of contents. Different logical portions of contents can be compiled and represented in form of sections and sub-sections, also referred as blocks, irrespective of actual placement of contents in the document.

[0021] In an exemplary embodiment, each content block or keywords or text of the document can have an associated weight, based on which the section and subsection can be created. In an exemplary embodiment, weight can be assigned to the each of the content blocks, or keywords or text of the documents. In an exemplary embodiment, weight assigned to each of the content blocks can be recommended reading time to be spent by a reader on that particular content block, or can be an indication of importance of the content block in the entire document. In an exemplary embodiment, keywords or tags added for content blocks can be used for creating table of content or efficient searching of the content.

[0022] In an exemplary embodiment, systems and methods of the present disclosure can create a table of content based on lateral linking of content rather than linear linking of content as known in the prior art.

[0023] The logical portion of contents can be any combination of textual, image, audio, and video contents. [0024] In an exemplary embodiment, one or more keywords, textual explanations, audio clips etc. can be associated/ added with each content block.

The method further includes a step of creating a table of content based on the lateral linking of content blocks for the given document.

[0037] Though the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described with reference to a single document, it is very much possible to use the systems and methods of present disclosure to take multiple documents, tag portions of contents across the multiple documents and create a single logically organized document or plurality of logically organized document that may be laterally linked.

[0038] The systems and methods of present disclosure allow a user or an application program to create tags to form content blocks, associate one or more attributes with each of the content blocks, indexing and presentation of contents based on lateral linking of content blocks. In an exemplary embodiment, lateral linking between the content blocks can be defined by the user or by the application, or can be created by the system and method of the present disclosure based on the one or more attributes associated with each of the content blocks. Content blocks can be laterally linked based on logical relationship between the content of content blocks, or based on one or more attributes associated with each of these content blocks.

[0039] The system of present disclosure can be used in various applications of content consumption and delivery. In an exemplary embodiment, the document can be any offline document and/or web page. The systems and methods of present disclosure enable interlinking of digital contents laterally by selecting the content blocks and adding attributes to each of the content blocks so as to create logical portions of the overall digital content document to present the contents of the document(s) in more meaningful manner.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, content throughout the document(s) or over the web can be tagged and can be linked laterally based on logical relationship between the content and associated tags so as to compile the content to form sections and sub-section of content. Different logical portions of content can be compiled and represented in form of sections and sub-sections, also referred as blocks, irrespective of actual placement of content in the document.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, each content block or keywords or text of the document can have an associated weight, based on which the section and subsection can be created. In an exemplary embodiment, weight can be assigned to the each of the content blocks, or keywords or text of the documents. In an exemplary embodiment, weight assigned to each of the content blocks can be recommended reading time to be spent by a reader on that particular content block, or can be an indication of importance of the content block in the entire document. In an exemplary embodiment, keyword or tags added for contents blocks can be used for creating a table of content or efficient searching of the content.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, systems and methods of the present disclosure can create a table of content based on lateral linking of content rather than linear linking of content as known in the prior art.

[0043] The logical portion of content can be any combination of textual, image, audio, and video content.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, one or more keywords, textual explanations, audio clips etc. can be associated/ added with each content block. In case of audio, video or image contents, textual explanation that may be very helpful in explaining the audio, video and image contents, can be displayed on the user screen at the time of content consumption. In case of text or image content, content blocks can have an associated audio content that can be played to enable easy consumption of textual contents or for explanation of the image content.

[0045] FIG. 1A illustrates exemplary tagging of portions of content in a given document and an index table created in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1A, a document 102 may have a large volume of data organized in some predefined manner, having different content such as content 1 104-1, content 2 104-2, content 3 104-3, and so on that may have been organized in sequential manner by a user who may have created the document or an application program that may have created the document. Content of the document may not have been organized based on logical relationships between the content. It is very much possible that content 104 that relates to a single topic may be described at different places in the document or other documents. To read or explore the document, the user generally tags the content and hyperlinks the content in sequential manner, which have its own disadvantage as will be known to persons skilled in the art. The system and method of present disclosure enables a user or an application program to tag content that relates to different topics and defines lateral relationships between the portions of content so as to enable creation of a laterally linked document or table or content. As shown in FIG. 1A, the document 102 may have long list of content such as content 1 104-1 with sub- content 106-1 and sub-content 106-2, content 2 104-2 with sub-content 108-1 and sub- content 108-2, content 3 104-3 with sub-content3.1 110 etc. that may relate to different topics and include sub-topics. Irrespective of actual position, the content 104 can be tagged to form topics, also referred to as sections, and sub-topics, also referred as sub-sections that can be laterally linked. For example, content 1 104-1 can be tagged as topic 2, content 1.1 106-1 can be tagged as topic 1.1, content 1.2 106-2 can be tagged as topic 2.1, content 2 104-2 can be tagged as topic 1, content 2.1 108-1 can be tagged as topic 1.1, content 2.2 108-2 can be tagged as topic 1.2, and content 2.1 can be tagged as topic 2.2. A user can associate different attributes with each of the tags and can define lateral relationship between the contents and sub-contents. A table of content 112 can be created based on the different attributes associated with each tag and their defined lateral relationship. In an exemplary embodiment, the user can define lateral relationship between the topics and sub-topics or the same can be automatically generated by the system of present disclosure based on the attributes associated with each of the tags. Table of content 112 lists the topics, such as topic 114-1, topic 114-2 in a logically grouped/linked manner. Each of the topics may have sub-topics as tagged by the user. For example, topic 1 114-1 can have sub-topic 1.1 116- 1 and topic 1.2 116-2, and topic 2 114-2 can have sub-topic 2.1 118-1 and sub-topic 2.2 118-2. Table of content 112 can be created based on logical relationship between different contents, which after the tagging are referred as topics.

[0046] FIG. IB illustrates linking of content blocks with table of contents in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in the FIG. IB, section/subsection 152 which is illustrated as topics, such as topic 114-1, topic 114-2 etc. can be internally hyperlinked with original contents, such as content 2 104-2, content 104-1 etc. Each topic 114 and its sub-topic can be linked with corresponding original content 104 based on the lateral linking of contents. The document can maintain a linking table that can provide a quick reference in table of contents with its topics and sub-topics linked with contents 104 and sub-contents.

[0047] FIG. 2 illustrates functional modules of system for content tagging and indexing of contents based on lateral linking. The system 200 includes a content tagging module 202 configured to allow tagging portions of content in a document to form plurality of content blocks, an attribute association module 204 configured to add one or more attributes including but not limited to plurality of keywords, relative weight, textual description, and audio description with each block of the plurality of content blocks, a lateral linking module 206 configured to create lateral linking between the plurality of content blocks, and a laterally linking based document compilation module 208 configured to compile /create a logically organized document based on the lateral linking between the plurality of content blocks. In an exemplary embodiment, the system can further include a table of content generation module configured to create table of content based on the lateral linking of content blocks for the given document.

[0048] The content tagging module 202 can be configured to allow a user or an application program to tag portions of contents distributed across single or multiple document(s) to form plurality of distinct content blocks. The content tagging module 202 enables tagging of different portions of content in a document by a user or an application program to form plurality of content blocks.

[0049] Once the content blocks are created based on the user input or application program, the attributes association module 204 can allow addition/association of one or more attributes with each of the content blocks. In an exemplary embodiment, the attribute association module 204 can be configured to allow a user or an application program to add one or more keywords, content block description in text format or audio format and associate the attributes with a particular content block. In an exemplary embodiment for each content block, user can define keywords, which can be used for determining the logical relationship between the content blocks and can be used for efficient searching of contents. For a content block that contains text contents, the user can associate audio/visual description of the text with the content block. Similarly for content blocks that contain image, or video content, the user can associate a text description of the content with the content block.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment, the attribute association module 204 can enable association/addition of a relative weight for each of the attributes, wherein the weight indicates relative importance of any keyword or the content or the content block in the given document(s). In an exemplary implementation, weight can be assigned for each keyword of the content block. In another exemplary implementation, weight can be assigned at content block level for each of the blocks.

[0051] The attribute association module 204 can enable a user to manually assign a relevant name to each content block. The assigned name can later be used for naming section and sub-section or topic and sub-topic in the logically organized document. The assigned name can also be used for naming section and sub-section or topic and sub-topic while creating a table of content. The module 204 can enable association of one or more attributes with each content block of the plurality of content blocks by a user or an application program.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the lateral linking module 206 can be configured to create lateral linking between the plurality of content blocks based on the user defined linking or based on the one or more attributes as defined by the user or application program. In an exemplary embodiment, lateral linking between the pluralities of content blocks can be created based on the relative weights of the content blocks. The lateral linking between the pluralities of content blocks can be created based on logical relationship between the one or more attributes associated with each content block or respective content of the content blocks.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the laterally linking based document compilation module 208 can be configured to compile /create a logically organized document based on the lateral linking between the pluralities of content blocks. The logically organized document can be presented to the user in more meaningful manner, irrespective of the content blocks order or presence in the given document(s). The logically organized documents can be created based on the lateral linking and/or logical relationship as defined by the user or created in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0054] The system 200 can further include the table of content generation module that can be configured to create table of content, also referred interchangeably as index of content, based on the lateral linking of content blocks for the given document.

[0055] As one may appreciate the system 200 can be used for logical grouping of content blocks tagged and linked laterally in offline documents and online web pages for creating more meaningful documents or web-pages that include logically linked sections and subsections. The system 200 can be used for creating table of content based on tagging and lateral linking. One may also appreciate that the portions of contents or the content block can be any combination of textual, image, audio, and video contents.

[0056] FIG. 3 illustrates exemplary attributes that can be added with each content block for creating laterally link document and table of content in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, for each portion of content that is tagged for creating a laterally linked document, one or more attributes can be associated with the content block. For example, for each content block or content tagging 302, block name 304, corresponding section name 306, one or more keywords 308 and relative weight 310 can be assigned. In an exemplary embodiment, block name 304 can automatically be generated based on first few words of the selected content. Further, a section name 306 or subsection name can be assigned while tagging the selected content. For each content block, one or more keywords, which also act as metadata for that content block or the created document, can be assigned. The keywords/metadata can be used while creating rational/schematic relationship between different content blocks. In an exemplary implementation, a relative weight 310 can be assigned for each of the content block. Relative weight 310 can be an indication of the importance of that content block and can be used for creating section or subsection in the logically organized document. Relative weight 310 of the content block can also be used for placing the content blocks in meaningful order.

[0057] FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B illustrate exemplary representations of one or more attributes being associated with content blocks in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. For creating a content block, a user can select a portion of content in the existing document or can choose to create a content block while writing content in the document. As shown in FIG. 4A,for each content block, also referred as added block 406, block number 408, block name 410, section name 412, relative weight 414, keywords 416, pause (in second) 418, reading time 420 and block content grouping 422 can be assigned by the user. As one may appreciate, system of the present disclosure can work for any type of content, including text, data, audio, video and image. In an exemplary embodiment, after creating the content blocks, the same can be saved in a database by clicking a button save all to DB 402 or can be cancelled by click of cancel button 404. Option for pause 418 can be provided to highlight some portion of content to bring attention of a reader to that content. While compiling the document to create logically organized document, the portion of content or the content block having an assigned pause value can configured to be displayed on readers device for some extended period of time. To provide indication of importance of the content, reading time can also be assigned to each content block. FIG. 4A illustrates blank fields presented to the user while creating tag and associating one or more attributes with each content block. FIG. 4B illustrates exemplary fields filled by the user after tagging the content or creating a content block to associate one or more parameters such as block number 408, block 410, section name 412, relative weight 414, keywords 416, pause 418, reading time 420 and linking with block content 422.1n exemplary embodiments, other attributes can also be added with the each content block.

[0058] FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary method for content tagging in given document(s), and lateral linking of contents of the given document(s) in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. A method for content tagging in given document(s), and lateral linking of contents of the given document(s) to create a logically organize document is described. The method includes the steps of tagging of different portions of content in a document to form plurality of content blocks as shown at step 502, associating one or more attributes with each block of the plurality of content blocks, wherein the one or more attributes comprises plurality of keywords, relative weight, textual description, and audio description as shown at step 504, creating lateral links between the plurality of content blocks as shown at step 506; and compiling a logically organized document based on the lateral linking between the plurality of content blocks as shown at step 508. The method can further include a step for creating table of content based on lateral linking of content blocks for the given document.
