Patent ID: 7257585

Claim:
A system for augmenting data from a source data file to generate an augmented data file, comprising: a reference database including a reference datum; a handler component configured to retrieve the source data file, the source data file including a structured datum; a locator component configured to locate the structured datum in the source data file; an analyzer component configured to associate the structured datum to the reference datum to create an association according to an analyzing strategy; a generating component configured to embed the association of the structured datum to the reference datum in the source data file to generate the augmented data file at a first instance; and a communication component configured to transmit additional information, wherein: the communication component transmits the augmented data file to a computing device, receives an identifier at a second instance from the computing device corresponding to a pointer being positioned over the structured datum in the computing device, responsive to receiving the identifier, transmits to the computing device additional information from the reference database according to the association, the additional information being displayable as an overlay in an area proximate to the structured datum simultaneous to the pointer being positioned over the structured datum, and responsive to receiving the identifier, updates the reference database to track the number of times a pointer is positioned over the structured datum.
