Information Retrieval

@note2 allows to define some configurations to run the different Information Retrieval tools. In this section, you are able to configure:

• The Patent Pipeline;
• The Springer Search;
• and the Patent Search.

Patent Pipeline

It is able to you configure previously each Patent Pipeline component relative to the patent IDs search and to the patent metainformation search processes (each one can be accessed clicking on the correspondent tab – evidenced by the red box). To the patent ID search, you are able to configure three different components with the respective access credentials obtained by the registration process:

• Custom Search API from Google;
• Bing Web Search API from Microsoft;
• and Open Patent Services API from European Patent Office.

Similarly, to the patent metainformation retrieval, you are able to configure two different components using their respective access keys:

• Open Patent Services API from European Patent OPffice;
• and PATENTSCOPE API from World of Intellectual Property Organization .

Add a component

To add a new component, firstly, you must select it from the combo box (into the blue box). For each component you select, a new configuration panel appears under the combo box (into the orange box).

After fill the respective fields with the requested credentials, click on the “+” button. The configured component must appear in the table evidenced by the orange box.

Remove a component

To remove a component, you must click on the correspondent “-“ button on the configured components table (into the area delimited by the orange box).

After that, the respective component must disappear from table.

Springer Search

To run the Springer Search, you must define previously the credential to get access to service (the access token). To that you only have to add your credential into the field designed to that (evidenced into the red box).

Patent Search

To run an OPS Patent Search, you must define previously the credential to get access into the OPS web service. To that, you must register yourself into the Open Patent Services API from European Patent OPffice. Add your access token into the respective field (represented into the orange box).

Import Settings

You can import default settings from a file by pressing the import button on the Preferences GUI. A file selection GUI is shown where you must select a conf file previously created by an export operation (see above).

Export Settings

The Default Settings in @Note can be exported to a conf file. These files can be imported in another @Note2 installation. After selecting the appropriate default settings, you can export them to a file using the export option in the Preferences GUI. A GUI for file selection is launched where you should select the folder and define the file name. The operation creates a configuration file that can be imported from any @Note2 0.9.7 or later version.

Apply Settings

After fill all the desired sections, to apply the settings, click on “Ok” button. That will save your settings into your database to be read posteriorly.
