Definitions
- the basic methodology in software applications that offer this form of document management is a structured database.
- the inventor of the present invention has recognized that the conventional database and document management software suffers from significant drawbacks because they are so hard to use. Inexperienced computer programmers have difficulty in learning to use the database software. Even those who eventually learn, do so only after investing many man hours of work in that learning process. This is economically very costly.
- a generic database program such as Microsoft Access and Lotus Approach allow any desired task to be carried out if appropriately programmed into the system.
- the appropriate programming for such a system requires significant learning curves to program and master. This would not typically be used by the average lawyer, since they do not have the time or inclination to master the intricacies of such. This is so well recognized that software vendors go through great efforts to offer technical seminars and training sessions on how to use their database and document management software applications.
- the programs are provided with thick owner's manuals including tutorials which show the user how to use the product.
- buttons such that the user can press a button and get specific information based upon a simple or complex query.
- the button must first be programmed and then it only applies to the one query specific for the one database in use. As above, this process requires multiple man-hours of work.
- a typical Access task might take 4 hours to learn.
- a lawyer who bills $300 per hour therefore gives up $1200 to learn that task. And, this is only one task. It can be seen that these tasks can be extraordinarily expensive to carry out. A busy professional simply cannot afford to learn these tasks.
- MIMS Management Information Services
- a Case Management System describes a Key Entry Database software application which is optimized for use in the legal profession.
- the software is really a structured database that stores information about the specific documents that the user enters in the computer and allows for the browsing and reporting of information based on a number of different search options.
- a database could be designed to record important information about a set of documents such as the author, recipient, subject, carbon copy, date, bates number, source, summary, legal argument, etc. The user would enter such information into the database. Then the user needs to learn to program the database to produce a variety of reports based on simple to complex queries. Part of that query can include appropriate sorting by date, author, subject, category, legal argument, source, etc.
- GUI Graphical User Interface
- GUI's have made many aspects of operation of the computer system more intuitive.
- GUIs were designed to facilitate interaction with a wide variety of application types such as spreadsheet, word processing, drawing and charting, scheduling and program development, as well as database management and to provide sophisticated features for “power users”. Therefore, it is not surprising that many talented professionals are overwhelmed upon their initial introduction to Key Entry Databases and never become capable users. The inventor recognized that those individuals would be better served by a system that provided precisely those tools that met their needs in as simple a manner as possible.
- the present system defines a technique allowing automatic creation of appropriate information based on entered data.
- a result of this automatic creation as described herein is the formation of custom databases of information without programming or specialized learning.
- the databases are created automatically from initial specifications of the information.
- the specifications are automatically organized using tools allowing unprecedented simple searching and reporting of the requested information—push buttons and a single column pop up list box. This allows the users to simply press appropriate buttons to secure the information they require from the database.
- the system prompts the user to enter the specifications of their case or database on a start-up screen. These specifications are automatically parsed into set forms including push buttons and pop-up list boxes. The push buttons and pop-up list boxes are automatically created from the input information and the input documents.
- the programmer could first create a complex query providing instructions to search for all documents which John Doe authored, received, was copied on or was mentioned in. After that complex process, the user may later be interested in all documents associated with Jane Doe. The complicated process of creating complex queries and associating these queries with macros would then need to be repeated.
- Each push button control is a control having a title.
- the title includes an associated selectable area on said screen that is initable with a single initiation to allow the easy retrieval of information in the database.
- One example is the push button command box in the Windows interface, in which the single initiation can be, for example, a click of a mouse.
- the single initiation can be, for example, a click of a mouse.
- a similar action could be initiated by a push on a touch screen, for example.
- the present invention describes a specialized system for management of data using an automatically-generated customized user interface.
- This customized user interface includes customized push buttons allowing a plurality of operations to be carried out. Menus or dialogs are preferably not used with these operations that are carried out using push buttons. The inventor found that this allows users with limited computer experience such as doctors, trial attorneys and many corporate employees to use the program very easily and without extensive training.
- the present invention also includes automatic creation of the contents of list boxes to facilitate data entry.
- FIGS. 1A , 1 B and 2 show user interface screens for entering initial specifications of a project
- FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of operation of entering those specifications of the case
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show specific push buttons produced from arguments of the case
- FIG. 7 shows an interface screen
- FIGS. 8 and 9 show time maps which are produced from the automatically created buttons.
- a push button as used herein, means a labeled portion of a computer screen which can be actuated to carry out some action associated with the label.
- the push button In Windows GUI, the push button is often actually shaped like a button, looks like a button, and has a title in the area to be selected. The user can simply select the area of the screen corresponding to the button to obtain additional information associated with the title.
- the system can also be adapted for use in any other case by simply entering new specifications. This automatically creates a new set of buttons.
- FIG. 1A illustrates the first part of the start-up screen which requests the user to enter the specifications of the project, here a litigation case.
- This embodiment of a litigation support document database requires only five classifications of information to have specifications associated therewith. It should be understood that further information can also be added, and processed according to the teachings of this specification.
- Field A is a list of potential witnesses for the case. This list can be expanded or contracted as the case progresses. Each change of the list automatically produces additional corresponding information.
- Field B is a list of those people on the documents that will be entered into the database. As documents are added into the database, each author, recipient, carbon copied recipient (“cc”) is entered into the field B.
- Field C is a list of categories to break up the case into manageable lots. This can be simply a list of issues in the case.
- the embodiment given herein uses the example of banks, consulting contracts, governments contracts, taxes, and foreign subsidiaries. Again, these issues can be added or removed as the case progresses.
- FIG. 1B shows the remainder of the specification information.
- Field D is a list of sources of documents. Each time a document is added into the database, its source needs to be added.
- Field E is a list of legal arguments that are anticipated. New elements of the legal case can be added as the case progresses.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B can be manually entered, or can be automatically generated by the entry of the documents into the database as described herein.
- the specifications of the case are entered in the FIG. 3 flowchart at step 300 . This loads the parameters that will be used to form the data entry interface shown in FIG. 2 .
- the documents are scanned and optically character recognized (“OCR”).
- OCR optically character recognized
- This operation preferably uses elements of the Adobe suite: Adobe Acrobat for the scanning, and Adobe Capture for the OCR.
- PDF portable document format
- Step 304 illustrates automatically linking each scanned document to a new database record. That database record, at that time, has no information associated with it.
- the OCR information can be investigated to determine some of the by scanning for the keywords: To, From, cc, re. These fields can be used to automatically generate the respective fields.
- Step 306 indicates the production of the FIG. 2 screen.
- the list boxes shown in FIG. 2 are automatically created based on the specifications of the case.
- list box 200 for “To:” is created from field B—all people who send, receive or copy documents. Similar operations create the list boxes 202 and 204 for FROM and CC. Similarly, the arguments, document source, category list boxes are automatically created.
- list boxes are possible.
- a simple list box for document persons could be used to allow pulling all documents with to, from and cc.
- the system automatically produces the pushbuttons, again based on the specifications of the case. These pushbuttons will be described later.
- Step 310 illustrates entry of document information, corresponding to the scanned document, into the database.
- the user enters the list box information by selecting items from the list boxes. This automatically enters that name in the fields relating thereto, without requiring the user to type this every time.
- These items can include author of the document, the recipient of the document or those carbon copied on the document, primary and secondary arguments, document category and document source.
- the document can be prioritized as favorable (goldmines), unfavorable (landmines), high priority and low priority.
- a summary 210 of each document can also be entered as part of the manual field entry in step 606 .
- This summary is stored along with the document, and the words of this summary can be full text searched from the field 210 in FIG. 2 .
- Identifying numbers such as “Bates” numbers, can also be added. At all times, the user can view the actual PDF document by actuating button 215 , thereby calling Adobe Acrobat to read the associated PDF file.
- the user selects from the list box, although it is also possible for the user to type a name into the list box, in which case that name is added.
- the user has the additional option of modifying the initial start up screen specifications to add or delete entries on the list boxes and push buttons.
- the FIG. 1 information needs to be entered only once. It can be updated each time the total set of information about the case changes.
- the FIG. 2 list boxes are automatically created from the FIG. 1 information, and comes up, however, each time the user wants to obtain any information.
- step 312 all evidence aligned to that data can be searched, as illustrated at step 312 . This is preferably done by pressing the on-screen push button.
- Each push button is associated with a single action. This can be done very simply in Visual Basic by creating one button for each search result, and changing each one button's text attribute to the attribute of the result. That one button's click event in Visual Basic is then associated with all the records that are associated with that one result.
- the user can obtain, e.g., view and print, specific segments of information by simply selecting “pushing” any of the automatically-created coded push buttons.
- FIG. 4A shows one screen of push buttons relating to the witnesses in the case.
- the screen includes buttons formed from the potential witnesses as entered in FIG. 1 , field A, including the prosecution witnesses and the defense witnesses.
- Each of the witness names is used to form the text attribute of a command button, whose click event takes an action related to the witness name.
- a summary of all documents which the witness authored, received, was carbon copied on, or was mentioned in the summary is presented to the user in specified order, e.g., chronologically.
- FIG. 4A can be formed for any keyword, e.g., any person, category or argument.
- each record includes a button 350 to allow fetching the digital image of the actual document as entered during the document entry phase.
- This fetch operation preferably uses Adobe Exchange to fetch the PDF file. The user merely pushes that button to fetch and view or print the document of interest.
- FIG. 4C depicts the scanned version of the document that is obtained by selecting the view document button.
- That document can be opened in a new window, for example, hence allowing the user to browse many different documents to find the best one.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the screen of push buttons created for the arguments of the case.
- each argument in the argument list box 220 in FIG. 2 created from the argument specifications field E in FIG. 1 is created into a box.
- FIG. 5 shows these being sorted by category: Banks, Consulting Contracts, etc.
- specific names on the buttons refer to a specific legal argument for a specific category. So if the user selects “fairness” as the Primary Argument, and Consulting Contract as the category, a summary of all documents sorted in chronological order that pertain to fairness of the consulting contracts will be presented.
- FIG. 6 similarly shows the witness push button screen, sorted into prosecution/defense, as in the specifications as entered.
- FIGS. 5 or 6 When a button is pressed in FIGS. 5 or 6 , a list like that in FIG. 3B is presented. The user can simply press any button 350 associated with each summary to view and print the actual document.
- time map view screen obtained by pressing the time icon 505 , shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 .
- the time map view screen for FIG. 5 is shown in FIG. 7 .
- Actuating any of those automatically-created buttons brings up a time map shown in FIG. 8 , where each summary of document is arranged in chronological order to determine time lines of those documents.
- Any of these operations can also be selected from the overall manager screen shown in FIG. 9 .
- This preferred system described above is for an embodiment used in litigation support. However this system can be used for essentially all databases in the legal, medical, research and corporate areas. Key points of simplicity of this allow easy use.
- witness folders for direct or cross-examination show a summary of the evidence for each witness in chronological order.
- the evidence could include memos the witness authored or received or was copied on, correspondence that mentioned the witness in the body of the report, summary description of the document where the user has indicated the name of the witness, the witness deposition, or other depositions where the name of the witness was mentioned.
- the user can use the power of the Adobe suite to search for documents in a variety of ways including full-text search, sounds-like search, thesaurus search, etc.
- This new concept provides all the basic features of the leading litigation support software applications, SUMMATION(TM) and CONCORDANCE(TM), but offers significant advantages not available with any current database technology.
- the present system can be easily customized with push-buttons for each individual case by first entering on a start-up screen specifications for the case ⁇ witnesses, legal arguments, sources of documents, categories, authors and recipients of documents, etc.
- Another contemplated extension is that data is automatically imported from an on-line source, such as the Internet, or LEXIS (TM). For example, cases can be searched using the LEXIS (TM) capability, and automatically added to the database.
- an on-line source such as the Internet, or LEXIS (TM).
- LEXIS TM
- cases can be searched using the LEXIS (TM) capability, and automatically added to the database.
- plug-in programs besides those described herein are contemplated. For example, double clicking on a number within a document could launch a spreadsheet program, such as Excel, which then automatically imports the contents of the document for tracking costs, for example.
- a spreadsheet program such as Excel
