US 7739588 B2Abstract
Markup language data applied to text or data is leveraged for providing helpful actions on certain types of text or data such as names, addresses, etc. Selected portions of text or data entered into a document and any associated markup language data are passed to an action dynamically linked library (DLL) for obtaining actions associated with markup language elements applied to the text or data. The text or data may be passed to a recognizer DLL for recognition of certain data types. The recognizer DLL utilizes markup language data associated with the text or data to assist recognition and labeling of text or data. After all applicable text and/or data is recognized and labeled, an action DLL is called for actions associated with the labeled text or data.
15. The method of claim 14, wherein the label associated with the string of text is an “address”label and the label associated with the other string of text is a “ZIP code”label.
the plurality of recognizer plug-ins being further operative to parse the string of text, the associated markup language elements and the plurality of labels to determine a plurality of labels for the string of text not previously determined for the string of text. Description
This invention relates to document creation and document viewing program modules. More particularly, this invention relates to methods and systems for leveraging markup language data applied to text strings or data for semantically labeling text strings or data and for providing actions based on semantically labeled text strings or data.
Since the advent of the computer and software age, software developers have attempted to provide functionality to users that are contextual in nature. For example, software has been developed for detecting that a user is entering a date into a computer-generated document as the user is typing the date. Before the user can complete the date, the software application pops up today's date to the user and offers to automatically complete the date for the user. Other software has been developed for offering users helpful actions in response to certain data entered by the user. For example, if the user's word processor application recognizes that the user has entered a date, the user may be offered an action that will launch the user's electronic calendar to allow the user to check appointments or to verify information in her calendar for the entered date. It would be helpful to users if such systems could recognize and provide actions for a variety of different types of text strings and data, such as names, dates, stock symbols, book titles, etc. Unfortunately, recognition of such text strings and/or data types may be difficult.
In recent years, markup languages such as Extensible Markup Language (XML) have been developed to apply structure to text and data where text and data may be tagged with markup language elements to provide contextual structure to the text or data. For example, all person names in a text document may be annotated using Extensible Markup Language (XML) tags to provide structure to the document associated with text or data entered into the document of the type “person name.” Subsequently, applications may be created for parsing the document to utilize data annotated with such markup language structure. For example, an application routine may be created to parse a text document and to utilize the XML structure associated with all names contained in the document to extract the names contained in the document for some other use. It would be helpful to leverage markup language annotation of a text or other data document to assist in recognizing text strings or data elements for providing helpful actions on those recognized text strings or data objects.
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for leveraging markup language data applied to text or data for providing helpful actions on certain types of text or data such as names, addresses, dates, stock symbols, book titles, etc.
As described briefly above, embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods for leveraging markup language structure and data applied to text or data for providing helpful actions based on recognized and labeled text strings and data. In the following detailed description, references are made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration specific embodiments or examples. These embodiments may be combined, other embodiments may be utilized, and structural changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
Referring now to the drawings in which like numerals represent like elements throughout the several figures, aspects of the present invention and the exemplary operating environment will be described. FIG. 1 and the following discussion are intended to provide a brief, general description of a suitable computing environment in which the invention may be implemented. While the invention will be described in the general context of program modules that execute in conjunction with an application program that runs on an operating system on a personal computer, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention may also be implemented in combination with other program modules. Additional aspects of an illustrative operating environment and software architecture for implementing the various embodiments of the present invention are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/588,411, entitled “Method and System for Semantically Labeling Strings and Providing Actions Based on Semantically Labeled Strings”, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
The application program 205 is able to communicate with a recognizer dynamically linked library (“DLL”) 210 and an action DLL 215. As will be described in greater detail below, the recognizer DLL 210 controls one or more recognizer plug-ins 220A-220N and the action DLL 215 controls one or more action plug-ins 225A-225N. According to embodiments of the present invention the recognizer DLL and the action DLL may be a shared software module integrated with the application program 205.
The application program 205 may then provide actions that are associated with the recognized string or data. In order to provide actions on the marked up string or data, the application 205 may pass data associated with the recognized string or data to the action DLL 215. The action DLL 215 manages the action plug-ins 225A through 225N that are executed in order to perform the action. The action plug-ins 225A-225N may be packaged with the application program module 205 or may be written by a third party to perform particular actions that are of interest. The action plug-ins 225A-225N provide possible actions to be presented to the user based on the type of word or data passed to the application plug-ins 225A-225N. For example, if data associated with a name is passed to the action DLL 215, an action plug-in 225A that may be responsible for providing electronic mail actions on recognized names may return a list of actions to the application program 205 such as “send e-mail”, “add-to e-mail addresses”, etc.
It will be appreciated that the namespace/schema library 250 may be integrated with the host application 205, may be remote from the host application 205 at the users computer for, or may be located remotely from the user computer for accessible by the host application 205 via a distributed computing environment. For further detail on the namespace/schema library 250, see U.S. patent application entitled: “System and Method for Providing Namespace Related Information,” Ser. No.: 10/184,190, filed Jun. 27, 2002, and assigned to the same Assignee as the present application and which is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set out herein.
Referring still to FIG. 3, if a given text string, for example “John Doe,” is labeled as a name, as described above, but is also marked-up within the electronic document with XML data such that the words “John Doe” are tagged with an XML tag of <employee> according the XML namespace “human resources”, that information may be passed to the action DLL 215 and action plug-ins to assist in determining available actions for the recognized text string. When the application 205 references the namespace/schema library 250, a determination is made that the XML tag <employee> of the namespace “human resources” is equivalent to the XML tag <emp> of the namespace “HR” and is equivalent to the XML tag <EES> of the namespace “personnel.” For example, one document drafter may have marked-up employee information according to the namespace “human resources”, another document drafter may have marked-up a document according to the namespace “HR”, and yet another document drafter may have marked-up a document according to the namespace “personnel.” According to an embodiment of the invention, the application 205 queries the schema library 250 and resolves mappings between equivalent XML namespaces and data. Once the application has resolved the mappings (meaning it has decided which elements can be treated like other elements) it will then call the action DLL and behave as if the original XML element is actually the element that the to which the action pertains. The action DLL does not need to be aware that the markup data mapping has occurred. For example, if the document being edited by a user has been marked up with XML data according the namespace “human resources”, this embodiment of the present invention may allow actions associated with a separate document marked up according to the namespace “hr” to be applied to the first document to enhance the set of actions applicable to a given text string or data, for example the name “John Doe.” Operation of this embodiment will be described in further detail below with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.
FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and 7 illustrate computer screen displays showing illustrative text strings and applicable actions for application to recognized text strings and showing illustrative XML markup of given text strings. As shown in FIG. 4, an employee payroll document, for example, is being edited by a user. The document includes an employee name, “Joe Smith,” and includes other employee payroll data. According to embodiments to the present invention, the words “Joe Smith” are passed to the recognizer DLL 210 and to applicable recognizer plug-ins 220A-220N for recognition and labeling. Because the words “Joe Smith” are returned by the recognizer DLL 210 to the application program 205 as recognized text or data, those words are annotated, for example with underlining, as shown in FIG. 4. Once data associated with the recognized text or data is passed to the action DLL 215 and the applicable action plug-in 225A-225N, actions such as “send mail”, “add to contacts”, “get employee ID” are returned by the action DLL 215 for use in association with the labeled text or data. According to an embodiment of the present invention, selection of one of the actions applied to the recognized text string or data may launch other required software applications, for example electronic mail applications, electronic contacts applications, and the like to provide the functionality associated with the list of provided actions.
According to embodiments of the present invention, if a text string, such as “Joe Smith,” is recognized as an employee name, XML data associated with the employee name is passed to the action DLL and applicable action plug-ins, as described above with reference to FIG. 3. When the action DLL 215 parses the namespace/schema library 250 to determine whether the XML data applied to the recognized string, for example “Joe Smith” has been established as an equivalent to an employee tag according to a second XML namespace, it may be determined that the XML data for the recognized text string is equivalent to XML data associated with a recognized employee name of the second document illustrated in FIG. 5. Accordingly, the action DLL 215 may utilize these equivalent classes to obtain actions applicable to text strings or data marked-up according to the second namespace/schema, as illustrated in FIG. 5, in order to provide an enhanced list of actions by combining actions applicable to both sets of XML namespaces for use with the recognized text string or data in the first document. As shown in FIG. 6, an enhanced set of actions that includes the actions available to a recognized employee name from both documents are now made available to the recognized name in the first document.
Referring to FIG. 7, illustrative XML markup data is illustrated as annotated to a text selection, for example, a name and address. As shown in the example text selection illustrated in FIG. 7, the name, street, and city have been marked up with XML data, but the state and zip code have not been marked-up with XML data. As briefly described above, when text or data is passed from a given document to the recognizer DLL 210 for recognition and labeling, the recognizer 210 and the associated recognizer plug-ins may utilize markup language data such as the XML data illustrated in FIG. 7 to assist the recognizer DLL 210 and the associated recognizer plug-ins in recognizing and labeling given text strings or data. For example, the inclusion the XML tag <pname> around the words “Joe Smith” may be utilized by the recognizer DLL and the associated recognizer plug-ins to recognized the words “Joe Smith” as a name. Likewise, the annotation of the words “Oklahoma City” with the XML tag <city> may be utilized to assist in the recognition of the words “Oklahoma City” as a city. As should be understood, the text and/or data and XML markup illustrated in FIGS. 4, 5, 6, and 7 is for purposes of example only and is not restrictive of the invention as claimed herein.
According to embodiments of the present invention, a given text selection may be processed by the recognizer DLL 210 and the associated recognizer plug-ins 220A-220N to assist in additional recognition and labeling of given text strings or data. For example, if on a first pass to the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins, the name, street, and city of the illustrative text shown in FIG. 7 are recognized and labeled, but the string “OK 45678” is not recognized, that text selection may be passed in a second iteration back to the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins for a second attempt at recognizing the text strings not recognized during the first pass. During the second pass, the recognizer DLL 210 and associated plug-ins may now leverage the fact that the text string OK is positioned immediately adjacent to the text string “Oklahoma City” that has been labeled as a city in the previous iteration. Accordingly, the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins may now determine that there is a high probability that the text string “OK” is a state designator given the two character size of the text string and given its location immediately adjacent to a recognized city.
At step 820, the recognizer plug-ins 220A-220N perform recognition on the text string passed from the application program 205. For example, if the recognizer plug-in 220A is responsible for recognizing and labeling names, words of the text selection passed to the recognizer plug-in 220A may be compared against a list of known names such as the user's contact list or telephone directory. At step 825, the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins utilize any XML data associated with the text string to assist in recognition. For example, referring back to FIG. 7, if the text string “Joe Smith” is passed to the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins, the associated XML tag <pname> is also passed to the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins to assist in recognizing and labeling the text selection. For another example, if a city is annotated with an XML tag such as <city>, that information may be used by the recognizer DLL and/or associated plug-ins to determine that an adjacently located two-character string is a state.
At step 830, any text strings or data recognized on a first iteration through the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins are recognized and labeled accordingly. At step 835, a determination is made as to whether any text strings or data have been recognized in the first iteration through the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins. If so, the method proceeds to step 840, and the text or data and associated XML data and labeling information from the last iteration through the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins is passed through the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins on a second iteration for more recognition. As described above with reference to FIG. 7, on the second iteration through the recognizer DLL 210 and associated recognizer plug-ins, any recognition information obtained on the previous pass through the recognizer DLL and associated recognizer plug-ins is passed to the recognizer DLL and associated plug-ins on the subsequent iteration to further assist in recognition of a given text string or data. For example, as described above with reference to FIG. 7, if the words “Oklahoma City” are recognized as a city on the first pass through the recognizer DLL and associated recognizer plug-ins, that information may be utilized by the recognizer DLL and associated recognizer plug-ins on the second iterative pass to assist in determining that the text string “OK” is a state designator given the two-character size of the text string and given its proximity immediately adjacent to a recognized and labeled city. On a second pass, recognition and labeling of the text string “OK” in association with other recognized and labeled text or data in the text selection may be utilized by the recognizer DLL and associated recognizer plug-ins to assist in the recognition of the five-digit string “45678” as a zip code.
As described above with referenced to FIGS. 3-7, if a given text string, for example “Joe Smith,” illustrated in FIG. 4, is annotated with an XML tag <employee> according to the namespace “human resources,” that information may be utilized to determine that the XML tag <employee> of the namespace “human resources,” has been established as an equivalent to the class of recognized names annotated with the XML tag <emp> of the namespace “hr.” At step 855, if all equivalence classes have been determined, the method proceeds to step 860, and the action DLL and associated action plug-ins build an actions structure for use by the application 205 in providing helpful actions in association with the recognized text string or data. Alternatively, the action DLL 215 and applicable action plug-ins 225A-225N may determine the first set of actions applicable to the recognized text string or data followed by a determination of whether equivalent actions are available. Once all actions for the recognized and or marked up text string or data including actions of equivalent XML namespaces and data types are determined, the set of available actions is passed to the host application 205. At step 870, the host application 205 builds a user interface, as illustrated in FIG. 6, to provide actions on the labeled text or data. The method ends at step 890.
