Abstract

A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: receiving indication of an election of a rules packet, the elected rules packet including one or more rules for selecting one or more selective parts of a base document for selective presentation; and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) for editing the base document, the GUI including at least a first view for displaying at least a segment of the base document and a second view for displaying at least a segment of the one or more selective parts of the base document selected based on the elected rules packet, the segment of the base document to be displayed through the first view including at least a portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document, and the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the first view being highlighted in the first view. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a rules packet election indication receiving module configured to receive an indication of an election of a rules packet that includes one or more rules for automatically selecting one or more selective parts of a base document, the rules packet election indication receiving module further configured to receive the indication of the election of the rules packet elected from a plurality of rules packets, the rules packet election indication receiving module including at least:
a rules packet election indication receiving module configured to receive the indication of the election of the rules packet elected from the plurality of rules packets, the elected rules packet being associated with one or more potential recipients of the base document and at least one non-elected rules packet being associated with one more other potential recipients of the base document, wherein at least one of the one or more potential recipients is a particular person; and

a graphical user interface (GUI) presenting module including a first view presenting module and a second view presenting module configured to present a GUI for editing the base document, the GUI including at least a first view, as presented by the first view presenting module, for displaying at least a segment of the base document, and a second view, as presented by the second view presenting module, for displaying at least a segment of the one or more selective parts of the base document automatically selected based on the elected rules packet, the segment of the base document to be displayed through the first view including at least a portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document, and the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the first view being highlighted in the first view.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said rules packet election indication receiving module configured to receive the indication of the election of the rules packet elected from the plurality of rules packets, the elected rules packet being associated with one or more potential recipients of the base document and at least one non-elected rules packet being associated with one more other potential recipients of the base document, wherein at least one of the one or more potential recipients is a particular person comprises:
a rules packet election indication receiving module configured to receive the indication of the election of the rules packet from the plurality of rules packets, the elected rules packet having been at least one of created or originally provided by the one or more potential recipients of the base document and the non-elected rules packets having been at least one of created or originally provided by the one or more other potential recipients of the base document.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein said graphical user interface (GUI) presenting module comprises:
a GUI presenting module including the first view presenting module and the second view presenting module configured to present the GUI including the first and second views, the first view as presented by the first view presenting module for displaying at least a continuous segment of the base document, the continuous segment to be displayed through the first view including the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein said graphical user interface (GUI) presenting module comprises:
a GUI presenting module including the first view presenting module and the second view presenting module configured to present the GUI including the first and second views, the first view as presented by the first view presenting module for editing at least the segment of the base document to be displayed through the first view.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said graphical user interface (GUI) presenting module comprises:
a GUI presenting module including the first view presenting module and the second view presenting module configured to present the GUI including the first and second views, the first view as presented by the first view presenting module for displaying at least the segment of the base document including at least the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document, the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the first view being at least a part of the segment of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the second view.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein said GUI presenting module including the first view presenting module and the second view presenting module comprises:
a GUI presenting module including the first view presenting module and the second view presenting module configured to present the GUI including the first and second views, the first view as presented by the first view presenting module for displaying at least the segment of the base document including at least the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document, the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the first view being equivalent to the segment of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the second view as presented by the second view presenting module.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein said graphical user interface (GUI) presenting module comprises:
a GUI presenting module including a highlighting module configured to present the GUI including the first and second views, the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the first view being highlighted by the highlighting module by having one or more characteristics that are not shared by one or more unhighlighted portions of the segment of the base document that are to be displayed through the first view.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein said graphical user interface (GUI) presenting module comprises:
a GUI presenting module including an automatic highlighting module configured to present the GUI including the first and second views, the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the first view being automatically highlighted by the automatic highlighting module in response to presenting the GUI and without being prompted by an end user.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein said graphical user interface (GUI) presenting module comprises:
a GUI presenting module including a request responsive highlighting module configured to present the GUI including the first and second views, the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the first view being highlighted by the request responsive highlighting module in response to receiving a request for highlighting the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the first view.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein said GUI presenting module including a request responsive highlighting module comprises:
a GUI presenting module including a request responsive highlighting module configured to present the GUI including the first and second views, the portion of the one or more selective parts of the base document to be displayed through the first view being highlighted by the request responsive highlighting module in response to receiving the request via the GUI.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein said GUI presenting module including a request responsive highlighting module comprises:
a GUI presenting module including a request responsive highlighting module configured to present the GUI including the first
