Abstract

A system for real-time document indexing is provided that includes a browser that is executing on a client system. The browser includes functionalities allowing it to communicate with a remote computer system. A query interface executes within the framework of the browser. The query interface receives one or more query searches from an end-user and sends the one or more query searches to be processed by the remote computer system. The remote computer system sends to the query interface the results of the one or more query searches via the browser. The query interface assigns the results of the one or more query searches to a folder where the folder includes a unique identifier. The query interface indexes the results of the one or more query searches to the unique identifier of the folder.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for real-time document indexing comprising:
 a browser that is executing on a client system, the browser includes functionalities allowing it to communicate with a remote computer system; and   a query interface that is executing within the framework of the browser, the query interface receives one or more query searches from an end-user and sends the one or more query searches to be processed by the remote computer system, the remote computer system sends to the query interface the results of the one or more query searches via the browser, the query interface assigns the results of the one or more query searches to a folder where the folder includes a unique identifier, the query interface indexes the results of the one or more query searches to the unique identifier of the folder.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the query interface displays the contents of the folder. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein query interface provides secondary indexing based on document types. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the unique identifier comprises a unique key value 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the query interface determines if there is a digital copy of the results of the one or more query searches. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the query interface arranges to upload a digital copy if there is no digital copy of the results of the one or more query searches. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the remote computer comprises a query engine that executes the one or more query searches sent by the query interface. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the remote computer executes a plurality of threads once receiving the one or more query searches from the query interface. 
     
     
         9 . A method of performing real-time document indexing comprising:
 providing a browser that is executing on a client system, the browser includes functionalities allowing it to communicate with a remote computer system;   executing within the framework of the browser a query interface, the query interface receives one or more query searches from an end-user and sends the one or more query searches to be processed by the remote computer system, the remote computer system sends to the query interface the results of the one or more query searches via the browser, the query interface assigns the results of the one or more query searches to a folder where the folder includes a unique identifier, the query interface indexes the results of the one or more query searches to the unique identifier of the folder.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the query interface displays the contents of the folder. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein query interface provides secondary indexing based on document types. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the unique identifier comprises a key value 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the query interface determines if there is a digital copy of the results of the one or more query searches. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the query interface arranges to upload a digital copy if there is no digital copy of the results of the one or more query searches. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the remote computer comprises a query engine that executes the one or more query searches sent by the query interface. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the remote computer executes a plurality of threads once receiving the one or more query searches from the query interface. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the unique key value is derived from hashing or concatenation of various data elements. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the unique identifier value is used to aggregate documents for retrieval or reporting. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the documents inherit all of the associated data elements stored in an external relational system having the unique identifier. 
     
     
         20 . A computer readable medium for storing a program being executed on a computer system, the programs performs a method of performing real-time document indexing, said method comprising:
 providing a browser that is executing on a client system, the browser includes functionalities allowing it to communicate with a remote computer system;   executing within the framework of the browser a query interface, the query interface receives one or more query searches from an end-user and sends the one or more query searches to be processed by the remote computer system, the remote computer system sends to the query interface the results of the one or more query searches via the browser, the query interface assigns the results of the one or more query searches to a folder where the folder includes a unique identifier, the query interface indexes the results of the one or more query searches to the unique identifier of the folder.   
     
     
         21 . The computer readable medium of  claim 20 , wherein the query interface displays the contents of the folder. 
     
     
         22 . The computer readable medium of  claim 20 , wherein query interface provides secondary indexing based on document types. 
     
     
         23 . The computer readable medium of  claim 20 , wherein the unique identifier comprises a unique key value 
     
     
         24 . The computer readable medium of  claim 20 , wherein the query interface determines if there is a digital copy of the results of the one or more query searches. 
     
     
         25 . The computer readable medium of  claim 20 , wherein the query interface arranges to upload a digital copy if there is no digital copy of the results of the one or more query searches. 
     
     
         26 . The computer readable medium of  claim 20 , wherein the remote computer comprises a query engine that executes the one or more query searches sent by the query interface. 
     
     
         27 . The computer readable medium of  claim 20 , wherein the remote computer executes a plurality of threads once receiving the one or more query searches from the query interface. 
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the unique key value is derived from hashing or concatenation of various data elements.
