Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6185127
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Methods for electronic document searching and graphically representing an electronic document search are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of graphically representing electronic document searches includes generating a Venn diagram for display on a graphic display device including a first circle that represents a first document set and a second circle that represents a second document set. The first circle overlaps the second circle in an overlap region depicting common electronic documents that are within the first document set and the second document set. The method further includes generating a first visualization chart from the first circle and a second visualization chart from the second circle. The first visualization chart and the second visualization chart depict proportions of the first document set and the second document set according to a user-defined parameter. Additional search queries may be suggested based on similar topics within electronic documents within the Venn diagram.
