ABSTRACT:
In one aspect of the present invention, page breaks are identified in the following manner. A set of ink data and a document description are processed by a variety of scoring methods, each of which generates a score for each possible insertion point in the ink. These scores are combined to produce a ranked list of hypothesized page breaks for the corresponding ink data. This ranked list is then used either to insert page breaks automatically using a predefined threshold to determine a cut-off in the list; or to present, on-line, to a human for verification/approval; or a mixture of the two based on two thresholds: one for automatic insertion and the other for human verification. It is to be understood not all scoring methods need be used, that is, one or more of the scoring methods may be used as needed.
