Patent ID: 8739032

Claim:
A document analysis and search system for searching through a plurality of documents and for analyzing documents located as a result of a conducted search, the search being directed to a predetermined subject matter, the system comprising: a client device comprising at least one of a non-transitory computer readable medium and a memory; a program module stored on the client device, the client device being positioned in communication with a network, and the network being in communication with a document provider database and a thesaurus database, the program module comprising instructions executable by a processor of the client device to locate at least one document from among the plurality of documents, the program module comprising an interface module; and a document analysis module; wherein the interface module receives concept data relating to the subject matter of the search, the concept data including at least one concept, the concept including a plurality of keywords used to conduct the search; wherein the interface module receives a plurality of documents relating to the concept data from the document provider database; wherein the interface module generates and displays a document analysis graphical user interface, the document analysis graphical user interface comprising a keyword entry interface, a document relevancy interface, a document management interface, and a document image window, wherein the document analysis module generates statistical data based on the at least one concept, and wherein the statistical data is used to assess relevancy of each of the documents located in the search so that each of the documents can be displayed using the document relevancy interface and wherein the statistical data includes a count of a number of instances that each of the keywords appears in a document located in the search; wherein the document analysis module transmits the statistical data to the interface module to be displayed; wherein the document analysis module transforms the count of the number of instances of each of the keywords into a normalized count; and wherein the normalized count is calculated by dividing a total number of text characters in each document by five to provide a normalized word count, dividing the count of the number of instances of each of the keywords by the normalized word count to provide a density of each of the keywords, and multiplying the density of each of the keywords by a predetermined value to provide the normalized count; wherein the keyword entry interface allows entry of one or more keyword groups, and wherein each keyword group includes a plurality of keywords that are conceptually related to one another.
