This invention describes a system that helps people find information in documents by understanding the meaning of their search terms, rather than just matching keywords. It uses a pre-defined knowledge base to suggest related search ideas, making the search more precise and context-aware. The system can either pre-process documents stored locally or fetch and analyze documents from the internet as needed.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of advanced AI and Large Language Models. These technologies now significantly simplify the creation of ontologies and semantic analysis engines, which were major hurdles in 2013.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
