Abstract: Methods for managing contents of multiple digital documents for individual users, to generate aggregated documents from multiple documents and/or create associations among multiple documents, based on the user's interactions with multiple digital documents. A document content aggregation method can, on a personalized basis, aggregate contents from multiple digital documents into an aggregated document based on a user's past interactions with the documents. The aggregation is based on a content importance score calculated from the user interaction pattern. A document association method can, on a personalized basis, create associations among multiple digital documents based on the user's past interactions with the documents. Two documents are deemed related if there is a user interaction pattern where the user interacts with both documents with a predetermined time interval from each other. When displaying one document, link icons are displayed to allow the user to directly navigate to the related documents.

Abstract: A digital rights management (DRM or RMS) method allows the operator of a scanner, connected to an RMS server, to associate a digital document with user access rights that are different from the rights defined by any of the existing DRM policies on the server. The method allows the operator to choose one of the existing policies on the server, and modify the user access rights by granting rights to additional users and/or removing rights of some users that would be granted by that policy, to generate modified user access rights for a document without changing any existing policies or adding new policies. The server stores the document ID, polity ID and the user access rights (modified or unmodified) in a rights association table on the server. The method is also applicable when importing documents into the DRM system from sources other than scanners.

Abstract translation: 数字版权管理（DRM或RMS）方法允许连接到RMS服务器的扫描仪的操作者将数字文档与不同于服务器上任何现有DRM策略所定义的权限的用户访问权限相关联。 该方法允许操作员选择服务器上的现有策略之一，并通过向附加用户授予权限和/或移除该策略授予的某些用户的权限来修改用户访问权限，以生成修改后的用户访问权限 对于文档而不更改任何现有策略或添加新策略。 服务器将文档ID，策略ID和用户访问权限（修改或未修改）存储在服务器上的权限关联表中。 当从扫描仪以外的来源将文档导入DRM系统时，该方法也适用。

Abstract: Method and system for processing a page-image based input document such as PDF and generate output documents, in a page-image based format or another format, which have a different layout than the original document. Certain contents in the original document removed and other contents are reorganized in this process. The method is used to re-target documents for different types of display devices, such as desktop and laptop computers, tablet computers, e-readers, smart phones, etc. When generating the output documents, the method takes into consideration the different form factors of the display devices as well as the different types of user input devices and methods such as touch screen (including different gestures used, whether stylus or finger is used for input, etc.), physical keyboard, mouse, etc. used by the targeted display device, so that each output documents is optimized for a particular type of display device.
