Abstract

A user reading statistic data set relating to a natural language document is received. The user reading statistic data set includes information indicative of at least one of a set of user reading statistic types. A set of machine logic rules is applied to the user reading statistic data set to generate, as reading assistance to the reader with reading the natural language document, a user reading comprehension data set including information indicative of reading comprehension with respect to content of the natural language document.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for creating and displaying an editable structured document guiding view of an electronic document, comprising:
loading, by a processor, the electronic document comprising structured information stored as data within the electronic document describing hierarchical relationships among portions of the electronic document and information about each portion of the electronic document;
receiving, by the processor, a plurality of operations inputted by a user into the electronic document, the plurality of operations including behaviors by the user while reading the electronic document and annotations added to the electronic document by the user;
recording, by the processor, the plurality of operations inputted by the user, to an electronic medium that stores the electronic document;
analyzing, by the processor, the plurality of operations recorded to the electronic medium that stores the electronic document and the structured information describing the electronic document, wherein said analysis comprises using statistical analysis to quantitatively represent the plurality of operations inputted by the user into the electronic document;
generating, by the processor, as a result of analyzing the plurality of operations inputted by the user and the structured information describing the electronic document, the editable structured document guiding view comprising a structured diagram depicting hierarchical relationships among portions of the electronic document, and mapping representations of the user's reading habits, interests and the annotations inputted by the user into the electronic document within the structured diagram; and
attaching, by the processor, a legend describing meanings of the representations of the user's reading habits, interests and annotations of the editable structured document guiding view as graphical marks within the structured diagram of the editable structured document guiding view.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
editing, by the processor, the editable structured document guiding view of the electronic document, wherein the user inputs an addition, deletion or modification to any node of the editable structured document guiding view.

3. The method of claim 1 , where the behaviors by the user while reading the electronic document and the annotations are selected from the group consisting of notes taken by the user while reading the electronic document, time spent by the user for each predetermined page portion of the electronic document, a page portion view sequencing by the user of predetermined page portions of the electronic document, searching activities performed by the user with respect to the electronic document, portion skip activities performed by the user with respect to the predetermined page portions of the electronic language document, and commenting activities performed by the user relating to the electronic document.

4. A system for creating and displaying an editable structured document guiding view of an electronic document, comprising:
a communication interface; and
at least one processor set programmed to:
load the electronic document comprising structured information stored as data within the electronic document describing hierarchical relationships among portions of the electronic document and information about each portion of the electronic document;
receive, via the communication interface, a plurality of operations inputted by a user into the electronic document, the plurality of operations including behaviors by the user while reading the electronic document and annotations added to the electronic document by the user;
record the plurality of operations inputted by the user, to an electronic medium that stores the electronic document;
analyzing, by the processor, the plurality of operations recorded to the electronic medium that stores the electronic document and the structured information describing the electronic document, wherein said analysis comprises using statistical analysis to quantitatively represent the plurality of operations inputted by the user into the electronic document;
generate, as a result of analyzing the plurality of operations inputted by the user and the structured information describing the electronic document, the editable structured document guiding view comprising a structured diagram depicting hierarchical relationships among portions of the electronic document, and mapping representations of the user's reading habits, interests and the annotations inputted by the user into the electronic document within the structured diagram; and
attach, by the processor, a legend describing meanings of the representations of the user's reading habits, interests and annotations of the editable structured document guiding view as graphical marks within the structured diagram of the editable structured document guiding view.

5. The system of claim 4 , where the at least one processor set is further programmed to:
edit the editable structured document guiding view of the electronic document, in response to additional user inputs comprising an addition, deletion or modification to any node of the editable structured document guiding view.

6. The system of claim 4 , where the behaviors by the user while reading the electronic document and the annotations are selected from the group consisting of notes taken by the user while reading the electronic document, time spent by the user for each predetermined page portion of the electronic document, page portion view sequencing by the user of the predetermined page portions of the electronic document, searching activities performed by the user with respect to the electronic document, portion skip activities performed by the user with respect to the predetermined page portions of the electronic document, and commenting activities performed by the user relating to the electronic document.

7. A computer program product for creating and displaying an editable structured document guiding view of an electronic document, comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, where the computer readable program code when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
load the electronic document comprising structured information stored as data within the electronic document describing hierarchical relationships among portions of the electronic document and information about each portion of the electronic document;
receive a plurality of operations inputted by a user into the electronic document, the plurality of operations including behaviors by the user while reading the electronic document and annotations added to the electronic document by the user;
record the plurality of operations inputted by the user, to an electronic medium that stores the electronic document;
analyzing, by the processor, the plurality of operations recorded to the electronic medium that stores the electronic document and the structured information describing the electronic document, wherein said analysis comprises using statistical analysis to quantitatively represent the plurality of operations inputted by the user into the electronic document;
generate, as a result of analyzing the plurality of operations inputted by the user and the structured information describing the electronic document, the editable structured document guiding view comprising a structured diagram depicting hierarchical relationships among portions of the electronic document, and mapping representations of the user's reading habits, interests and the annotations inputted by the user into the electronic document within the structured diagram; and
attach a legend describing meanings of the representations of the user's re
