Appeal No.1997-0898
Application No. 08/281,879
The reliability measure indicates the probability that the
associated text representation correctly identifies the
component. The component is downsampled by a first downsampling
method if the reliability measure is above a threshold and by a
second downsampling method if the reliability measure is below a
threshold.
Claim 2 is illustrative of the invention and reads as
follows:
2. A method of downsampling a document or a portion thereof
comprising a set of one or more components, wherein each
component in said set of one or more components is in a text
representation and has an associated reliability measure, said
reliability measure indicating the probability that the
associated text representation correctly identifies said each
component, the method comprising the steps of:
downsampling said each component by a first method of
downsampling if said reliability measure is above a threshold;
and
otherwise downsampling said each component by a second
method of downsampling if said reliability measure is below said
threshold.
