Title: System, methods and user interface for discovering and presenting information in text content

Current Assignee: Linfo Ip LLC

Inventors: Guangsheng Zhang, Chizhong Zhang

Filing Date: 2012-12-10

Issue Date: 2015-07-28

Abstract: The patent describes a system, methods, and user interface for discovering and presenting information in text content using various view formats. It involves identifying grammatical, semantic, contextual, and topical attributes of words or phrases within text. User interface objects allow users to specify an attribute and an action (such as extracting, displaying in a specific format, showing/hiding, or highlighting) to be performed on the words or phrases associated with that attribute.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

• Independent Claim 1: This claim describes a computer-implemented method for helping a user find information in text. It involves several steps:

  1. A computer system receives text content from storage or a user.
  2. The text is broken down into individual words or phrases (tokens).
  3. A linguistic analysis is performed on these tokens to determine their grammatical, semantic (meaning), or contextual attributes. This analysis can use a dictionary or a parser.
  4. These identified attributes are associated with the tokens, creating a "labeled" text content.
  5. The system provides a user interface that allows the user to see and select an attribute (e.g., "positive opinion," "drug name") and an action (e.g., "extract," "display," "highlight").
  6. Based on the user's selections, the system performs the chosen action on the parts of the text content (terms or tokens) that have the specified attribute.

• Independent Claim 13: This claim outlines a system that uses hardware components to perform the method described in Claim 1. The system includes:

  1. A computer storage or user interface to get the text content.
  2. A tokenization module to break the text into tokens.
  3. A linguistic processing module to analyze tokens and assign grammatical, semantic, or contextual attributes, potentially using a dictionary.
  4. A display area to show the text content and results.
  5. A user interface (including an attribute selector and an action selector, which can be combined) to let the user pick an attribute and an action.
  6. A processor that registers the user's selections and performs the chosen action on the relevant terms in the text content, then displays the results in the display area.

• Independent Claim 16: This claim specifies a computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium. This program product contains instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform the method steps detailed in Claim 1.

CAFC 2026 Dockets:

The provided patent information indicates that US9092428 has been involved in litigation, with two cases filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit:

• Case 25-1368
• Case 25-2006

These case numbers (beginning with "25-") suggest they were filed in 2025. As of April 26, 2026, no new CAFC dockets specifically for US9092428 filed within 2026 were found in the initial search results, which provided general information about accessing CAFC case records and scheduled cases for May, June, and July 2026. Further specific searching of the 2026 scheduled cases or newly filed petitions would be required to confirm if any new CAFC activity related to this patent has occurred in 2026, beyond the existing 2025 cases.
