Abstract

The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for evaluating and classifying data, which comprises receiving a first signal associated with a set of user defined categories and a second signal associated with a first set of one or more data items to be analyzed. The set of categories are presented on an interface and each of the data items are to be analyzed are presented on a tile overlay on the interface. A first swipe identification signal identifying a first category to apply to a first data item and a second swipe identification signal identifying a second category to apply to a second data item are received. Based upon the swipe identification signals, a first record associating the first data item with the first category and a second record associating the second data item with the second category are generated and stored in a memory.

First claim

What we claim is:

1. A computer-implemented method for classifying data comprising:
receiving a first signal associated with a set of categories, the set of categories being user defined;
receiving at a server a second signal associated with a first set of one or more data items to be analyzed;
presenting a selectable first category tab along a first side of a perimeter of a touch-sensitive graphical user interface;
presenting a selectable second category tab along a second side of the perimeter of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, wherein the second category tab corresponds to a continuous region of the second side of the perimeter of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface;
presenting a selectable third category tab along a third side of the perimeter of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, wherein the third category tab corresponds to a continuous region of the third side of the perimeter of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface;
presenting a selectable fourth category tab along a fourth side of the perimeter of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, wherein the fourth category tab corresponds to a continuous region of the fourth side of the perimeter of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, the first, second, third, and fourth category tabs define a display area on the of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface;
presenting each of the one or more data items of the first set to be analyzed as a tile on a tile overlay on the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, wherein each of the one or more data items comprise at least one document and wherein the tile associated with each of the one or more data items comprises a visual representation of a segment of the document, and wherein the one or more data items are presented in the display area in a grid with the first second third and fourth category tabs surrounding the one or more data items;
receiving a first swipe identification signal, said first swipe identification signal being directionally oriented toward the first category tab to identify a first category from the set of categories to apply to a first data item from the first set of one or more data items to be analyzed, wherein the first category is a first level of conformity with respect to a topic or query;
receiving a second swipe identification signal, said second swipe identification signal being directionally oriented toward the second category tab to identify a second category from the set of categories to apply to a second data item from the first set of one or more data items to be analyzed, wherein the second category is a second level of conformity with respect to the topic or query;
receiving a third swipe identification signal, said third swipe identification signal being directionally oriented toward the third category tab to identify a third category from the set of categories to apply to a third data item from the first set of one or more data items to be analyzed, wherein the third category is a third level of conformity with respect to the topic or query;
receiving a fourth swipe identification signal, said fourth swipe identification signal being directionally oriented toward the fourth category tab to identify a fourth category from the set of categories to apply to a fourth data item from the first set of one or more data items to be analyzed, wherein the fourth category is a fourth level of conformity with respect to the topic or query;
wherein the first level of conformity is a higher degree of conformity as compared to the second level of conformity, the second level of conformity is a higher degree of conformity as compared to the third level of conformity and the fourth level of conformity is an uncertainty of conformity decision with respect to the topic or query;
wherein the first swipe identification signal comprises initiating a first finger swipe gesture on the first data item and dragging the first data item to the first category tab representative of the first category located along the perimeter of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, and wherein in response to the first swipe identification signal affixing a first category label to the tile associated with the first data item in the touch-sensitive graphical user interface;
wherein the second swipe identification signal comprises initiating a second finger swipe gesture on the second data item and dragging the second data item to the second category tab representative of the second category located along the perimeter of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, and wherein in response to the second swipe identification signal affixing a second category label to the tile associated with the second data item in the touch-sensitive graphical user interface;
wherein the third swipe identification signal comprises initiating a third finger swipe gesture on the third data item and dragging the third data item to the third category tab representative of the third category located along the perimeter of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, and wherein in response to the third swipe identification signal affixing a third category label to the tile associated with the third data item in the touch-sensitive graphical user interface;
wherein the fourth swipe identification signal comprises initiating a fourth finger swipe gesture on the fourth data item and dragging the fourth data item to the fourth category tab representative of the fourth category located along the perimeter of the touch-sensitive graphical user interface, and wherein in response to the fourth swipe identification signal affixing a fourth category label to the tile associated with the fourth data item in the touch-sensitive graphical user interface;
in response to a selection of at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth category tabs, identifying from the first set of data items, data items associated with the selected at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth category tabs and updating the touch-sensitive graphical user interface to display in the display area only the data items associated with the selected at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth category tabs:
based upon the first, second, third, and fourth swipe identification signals, generating a first record, a second record, a third record and a fourth record, the first record associating the first data item with the first category, the second record associating the second data item with the second category, the third record associating the third data item with the third category and the fourth record associating the fourth data item with the fourth category;
storing the first, second, third, and fourth records in a memory; and
generating a summary report comprising a set of statistical data values to each of the first, second, third, and fourth records, a given set of statistical data values corresponding to one more categories assigned to a given data item, said given set of statistical values comprising a classification average score, a classification variance score, a classification standard deviation score and a classification normalized average score.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising generating a spreadsheet file comprising the first, second and third records.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising displaying an administration interface tool comprising a UI administration interface, a deck administration interface and a user administration interface.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 further comprising populating a category name field, a category label field and a screen location field in the UI administration interface for each category of the set of categories to be assigned a data item, the screen location field populated with a
