A computer-based method for creating XML files from an edited document is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: reading an edited document from a file transfer protocol (FTP) server; reading each of equation objects originally existed in the edited file and creating a tag image file (TIF) image according to the equation object being read; creating a joint photographic experts group (JPEG) image according to the TIF image and recording a pixel size of the JPEG image; creating an XML character string according to each paragraph in the edited file; inserting the XML character strings into different XML file templates, thereby obtaining different XML files. A related system is also disclosed.

The present invention provides a method for generating electronic patent application files, which includes steps of: creating multiple extensible markup language (XML) templates; setting basic requirements of drafted files; mapping the XML templates to chapter headers in the drafted files; analyzing and verifying whether the drafted files meet the basic requirements; parsing contents of the drafted files into corresponding XML templates if the drafted files meet the basic requirements; and generating XML patent application files according to the XML templates. A related system is also disclosed.
摘要:
An exemplary method for controlling a workflow is provided. The method includes: setting a check-status schedule and a reminder timer for each task of the workflow process; checking whether any task of the workflow process is in an incomplete state according to the check-status schedule; obtaining an operator name and a task assigned time of the task remained in the incomplete state; calculating a time difference between a current time and the task assigned time and calculating a remainder by utilizing modular arithmetic; and generating an alarm signal and sending the alarm signal to inform a corresponding operator to perform the task remained in the incomplete state if the remainder is greater than zero and not greater than the check-status schedule. A related system is also provided.
摘要:
A method for comparing text data reads two patent documents comprising varying text sections. The method compares characters of a first text section in a first patent document with a corresponding second text section in a second patent document, and acquires a same sub-character string that has a maximum matching length and matching positions of the first and second text sections. The method marks characters before the matching positions of the first and second text sections as different characters. The method displays a comparison result list of the comparison between the first patent document and the second patent document on a display device.
摘要:
A system for creating full-text indexes of patent documents includes a server and one or more computers. The server is connected with the one or more computers via a network. The server includes: a converting module is configured for converting the new patent document into a file in a predefined format, the file comprising multi-parts each corresponding to a part of the patent document; and a creating module is configured for appending the converted patent document to the database with a technique of creating full-text indexes and creating a full-text index for each part of all converted patent documents in the database. The method for creating full-text indexes of patent documents is also disclosed.
摘要:
A method for managing receipts of an e-filing patent application is disclosed. The method includes: receiving one or more receipts from a patent office website via the Internet when a patent application is filed in the patent office electronically; uploading the one or more receipts to a file server; obtaining information corresponding to keywords of the one or more receipts; and updating information of the patent application in a database server connected to the file server according to the information corresponding to the keywords. A related system is also disclosed.
摘要:
A computing device extracts claims, patent law clauses, and prior art documents from an Office action document according to preset regular expressions, and stores the extracted claims, patent law clauses, and prior art documents in an array stored in a storage unit of the computing device. The computing device identifies rejected claims of the Office action document from the extracted claims, and searches involved patent law clauses and prior art documents regarding the rejected claims in the Office action document. The computing device records each identified rejected claim with involved patent law clauses and prior art documents in the storage unit, according to importance ratings of the rejected claims and the relationships.
