AUTOMATIC TEXT RECOGNITION WITH LAYOUT PRESERVATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18123256 titled 'AUTOMATIC TEXT RECOGNITION WITH LAYOUT PRESERVATION

Simplified Explanation

The subject technology described in this patent application involves accessing and analyzing text data and attributes on an electronic device. It determines whether each line of text and the subsequent line belong to separate paragraphs based on specific attributes. It then generates output data and performs processes on the text data using the generated output.

  • The technology allows electronic devices to access and analyze text data and attributes.
  • It determines paragraph breaks in the text data based on specific attributes.
  • The technology generates output data for the text data and performs processes on it.
  • It improves the efficiency of analyzing and processing text data on electronic devices.

Potential Applications

This technology can have various applications in fields where text data analysis and processing are important, such as:

  • Document editing and formatting software
  • Natural language processing and text analysis tools
  • Content management systems
  • Text-based search engines

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

  • Manual identification of paragraph breaks in large text data can be time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Analyzing and processing text data on electronic devices can be resource-intensive and inefficient.
  • Ensuring accurate and consistent formatting of text data can be challenging.

Benefits

The technology offers several benefits:

  • Automation of paragraph identification in text data saves time and reduces errors.
  • Efficient analysis and processing of text data on electronic devices improve productivity.
  • Consistent and accurate formatting of text data enhances the user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the subject technology include accessing, by an electronic device, a plurality of lines of text data and text attributes corresponding to the plurality of lines of the text data. Aspects may also include, for each respective line of the plurality of lines of the text data, determining whether the respective line and the subsequent line correspond to separate paragraphs within the text data based on a first of the text attributes that corresponds to the respective line of the plurality of lines with a second of the text attributes that corresponds to a subsequent line of the plurality of lines. Aspects may further include generating output data for the plurality of lines and performing at least one process for the plurality of lines of the text data using the generated output data.
