[ detailed description ] embodiments

The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. It should be emphasized that the following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention or its application.

Example 1

As shown in FIG. 1, the environment described herein includes a server system 112 and one or more client systems 108, 110 communicatively coupled via a network 106. Client system 108 is considered to be associated with author 102 and client system 110 is considered to be associated with reader 104. The client systems may additionally or alternatively communicate via some sort of wireless or wired communication, as indicated by the arrows between the client devices 108, 110.

In fig. 1, client device 108 is considered a mobile smart device (including but not limited to a cell phone, tablet, e-reader), and client system 110 is considered a Personal Computer (PC). The concepts described herein are applicable to any number or combination of additional or alternative client devices. Such as portable computers, smart games, etc.

The terms "author", "reader", and "source" are used generically herein. A "reader" generally refers to a person who receives a digital work, annotations, and annotated relationships. "Author" generally refers to a person who is prepared to store and distribute annotations and annotation relationships to readers. A "source" generally refers to an entity or device that can obtain a digital work for annotation by an author.

As shown in the specific implementation of FIG. 1, the server system 112 is configured to exchange data with the author 102 operating the client system 108 and the reader 104 operating the client system 110. The term "digital work" includes any type of content that can be stored and distributed in digital form.

The digital works may reside as media files in the server system 112 or otherwise communicatively connected to the server system digital work database 114. An annotation database 116 and an annotation relationship database 118, as shown in FIG. 1, the annotation database 116 being used to store annotation content and its correspondence to digital works; the annotation relationship database 118 is used to store relationship maps and their correspondence to digital works. The digital work database 114, the annotation database 116, and the annotation relation database 118 may be separated as shown in the example diagram, or may be combined into one database, which may be implemented according to the requirement.

The network 106 shown in fig. 1 may be a Local Area Network (LAN)) or larger network. Protocols for network communications are well known to those skilled in the art of computer networks, for example, an author 102 may request a digital work from a server system 112 over a network 106. For example, the reader 104 may request the author 102, via the network 106, from the server system 112 for annotations and constructed annotation relationships. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art and others, FIG. 1 provides a simplified example of a suitable computing environment for implementing implementations of the invention, and the invention is not limited thereto.

When the software (or functionality) formed in accordance with the present invention is implemented in one or more computer systems of the type shown in FIG. 1, the computer systems provide authors and readers with a way to access and annotate digital works, receive and reproduce annotations of digital works; the method provides a mode of constructing a relational graph for the annotation of the annotated digital work and receiving the annotated relational graph of the digital work; mechanisms are provided for distributing annotated relational graphs (including annotations) of digital works, and for adding, deleting, modifying, querying annotations or annotated relational graphs. By providing the operation mechanisms of the labels, the recurrence labels, the construction of the labeling relations, the sharing of the labels and the labeling relation graphs and the like in the digital works, the digital works are more useful, easier to understand and more valuable.

Example 2

As shown in fig. 2, two exemplary client systems common in the present invention are illustrated, namely client devices 108, 110 in fig. 1. Client device 108 represents a removable smart device in which all or a portion of the present invention may be implemented in different forms, illustrated as smart touch screen operating device 108. Client device 110 represents a personal computer system, including but not limited to a desktop computer, a laptop computer, etc. In addition to the two client operating systems 108, 110 illustrated in FIG. 2, the present invention may implement all or part of the present invention in any form of runnable Internet appliance or software.

The exemplary client device 108 of the present invention is a touch screen operated device that can perform digital assembly and reading operations. The realization of the invention is not influenced by whether the digital content in the client equipment, such as the font size and the color of the text content, can be adjusted or can not be adjusted, and whether the diversified digital work forms, such as pictures, audios and the like, are supported or not.

Example 3

As shown in FIG. 3, an exemplary method of use of the present invention for receiving and rendering annotations of a digital work may, but need not, be implemented using one or more of the server system 112 or client devices 108, 110 shown in FIGS. 1, 2. The method may begin at optional block 302 where a digital work is obtained. The server system described above includes a digital work database 114 that includes digital works in all media formats such as books and pictures.

As shown at 304 in FIG. 3, the server system 112 may obtain annotations of content in the digital work and annotation related content from the author. At optional block 306, the server system 112 stores the received annotations and annotation related content in the annotation database 116 associated with the digital work. Based on the characteristics of the mobile intelligent device, the annotation added by the author and the annotation content can be preferentially stored in the device. The received labels are preferentially stored in the client equipment or preferentially uploaded to the server system, so that the realization of the invention is not influenced. Upon successful annotation, the client device 108 executes optional block 308 and, at the same time, renders 310 the same annotation content in the digital work (generally distinguishing the digital work from other digital works by stored rules in a database of digital works) with a particular identifier.

The special identifier will appear in a particular form in the exemplary figures of the invention, as a combination of underline and five-pointed star. In practical implementation, the mark can be presented in various forms, including but not limited to other forms of marks, other forms of color marks and the like, and invisible and clickable areas and the like.

The recurrence annotation refers to that after an author adds an annotation to a certain content in the digital work by using an intelligent client device, such as "parkinson's disease" or "Prince George of Cambridge", in the whole digital work, the identical content which is completely matched with the annotated content is automatically annotated, that is, the recurrence annotation. And when other content in the digital work is accessed, the annotation effect is conveniently viewed by the visitor. The recurrence means that when the server system obtains the recurrence of the specific part according to algorithms such as semantic analysis, graphic analysis and the like, the content is the same as the content and the part of speech when the specific part is marked, and the mark recurs.

The content marked in the digital work described in the specification includes, but is not limited to, text, pictures and the like. For forms of digital works, including but not limited to electronic books, web pages, albums, and the like. The invention can realize part or all of the functions in any field according to the actual requirement.

Example 4

FIG. 4 is a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary method of receiving annotated relationships. The reader may begin at optional block 402 by obtaining a digital work from a source and accessing the digital work. The concept of the source and digital work has been detailed in the description of figures 1, 2 and 3. In the method of use, the optional block 406 constructs the annotation relationship if the annotation of the digital work is received at the optional block 404, and after the relationship is generated, the annotation relationship and the annotation relationship are in close relation. Optional block 408 represents the server system generating and storing an annotated relationship graph from the received annotated relationships. The relation construction received by the server comprises that a receiving reader establishes a relation between the annotation content and the other annotation content, or additionally comprises a relation description content of the receiving annotation content and the other annotation content. When constructing the annotation relationship, the server system generates an annotation relationship diagram in some form for easy viewing.

The implementation of automatically generating and storing the relationship graph as described in optional block 408 may perform a preferential matching in the form of a correlation graph according to actual needs. For example, several commonly used relational graph forms, such as a tree graph, a balance graph, etc., are preferably provided in software or a server. The server system may provide sharing functionality over the network 106 so that the information tagged by the reader and the tagged relationship graph may be accessed 410 by other users.

Example 5

As shown in FIG. 5, an exemplary diagram of a method of sharing an editing annotation relationship graph is described. Optional block 502 depicts obtaining a digital work from a source and providing access to the digital work, as described in detail in fig. 3 and 4. At optional block 504, a digital work annotation and an annotated relational graph are received from an author, and optional block 506 is stored in association with the digital work. At optional block 508, other users are provided access to annotations and relationship graphs, which enable network-based sharing. The user, accessing the annotations and relationship diagram, may perform the associated operations at optional block 510, i.e., edit the relationship diagram. The network sharing type described by the invention constructs the annotation relation graph, and is assisted by a server judgment mechanism or a manual auditing mechanism, so as to ensure that the realization of the invention has higher value. At decision block 512, it is determined whether the relationship graph is complete, which is the result of server determination or manual review. The relationship graph is complete (or reaches some expectation) then the server will perform the operations described in optional block 514, temporarily freezing the compilation of the relationship graph while still maintaining the characteristics of network sharing. If the relationship diagram is not complete (or meets some expectation), then operations continue at optional block 508, leaving the functionality for editing the relationship diagram open, and receiving user (including author) edits to the relationship diagram.

The network sharing type construction of the annotation relation graph is only described in one of the practical implementation modes. In actual implementation, the limitation of personal editing, the control of authority, the limitation of openness, and the like can be performed as needed.

Example 6

The exemplary presentation of the invention, which will be described below in fig. 6-16, certain actions need not be performed in order, nor is the device form limited by the exemplary figures. The forms of annotations may also take a variety of formats, including voice, video, etc. The style provided in the drawing under the special identifier presented by the label is only one of simpler presentation modes, and the specific implementation mode can be changed according to actual requirements, even the style can be presented only in a clickable invisible response area without using the special identifier. The construction and presentation of the labeling relation graph can be flexibly applied. The relation description can adopt a limited relation description, directly construct the relation without the relation description, allow the relation description of various formats and the like; the form of the labeling relation graph can be split, combined, multi-colored and the like according to actual requirements.

In the example given in fig. 6, a touch-screen removable smart device is taken as an exemplary illustration of a client device, and the operations in the example are all based on this illustration, but the specific implementation is not limited thereto. 604 shows a page presentation of the digital work, which may be a page in software or a web page, and the reader views the specific content of the digital work through 604. In this example, the digital work is presented in text format, with the content being the "pride and prejudice" English version of the official book.

In practical implementation, the method is not limited to text form, and the content is not limited. In order to find out the main use scenes of the invention, the scenes of the invention in practical use are the famous foreign languages and popular science digital works, and the contents which are difficult to memorize are marked.

In FIG. 6, 602 is an illustration of the content in the digital work that has received the request for adding annotations, 606 is the content and the identifier that have been added with annotations, and 608 is the location of the content of the page in the whole digital work. In particular implementations, the position of the current page in the digital work may not need to be presented, which is presented in this example figure to more clearly illustrate the annotation rendering functionality. Annotation recurrence the following example figures will be described in detail.

As in fig. 7, to receive the content in the digital work of the add annotation request, denoted "mr. bennet", we shall annotate the person name 602. In actual implementation, the labeled content may be time, special nouns or other unintelligible scientific words, or even other forms including pictures. 702 is a bullet box which is present in the process of adding the label and supports the adding of the label content. 702 may also be presented in other forms, such as a web page, and may be presented away from the currently displayed page of the digital work. In this example, for ease of understanding, it is presented in the form of a page box. 704 is a description of the annotation added to the annotation object, and this example is presented in text form, but is not limited to text form or some single form. 704, and repeated editing and modification can be performed in this exemplary figure.

In this example, the "build relationship with existing annotations" option is given 706 while annotations are added. If the reader picks up the label, the operation of constructing the labeling relationship in the example of fig. 11 is performed. And if not, marking is normally carried out. 706, the options presented in this example method may be presented in other forms, such as providing an entry in the annotation page, presenting options in all annotation pages, etc.

FIG. 8 is a page presented after a successful receipt of an annotation. A page is presented 804 for receiving the annotated digital work. 802 shows the receipt of the content of the annotated digital work and the special identifier after successful receipt. 606 are the previously added notations and are presented for comparison only. 608 shows the location of the content presentation page of the digital work in which the content presentation page of the digital work is located in the example figure, and in actual implementation, the reader will see the special identifier of the annotated content at a relatively invariant location.

FIG. 9 shows a presentation of annotation specification for viewing annotated content. In the present example, the mobile smart device is used to view the annotated content 802mr. benent, which is identified by a special identifier. The normal operation of a touch screen smart device, namely clicking to view, can be adopted for viewing. Other forms or other devices may be used, operating in a manner achievable by the device. 902 illustrate the specific presentation at subsequent visits for the annotations added in FIG. 8. The corresponding descriptions of the labels in this example are presented in a bullet box form for ease of understanding. Practical implementations may take many forms. The reference numeral 902 represents the presentation of the annotated content by the annotated special identifier, and in this example, the form of the annotation description presented by clicking the annotated content 606Lizzy is the same as the described annotation display form.

FIG. 10 shows access after annotation replication. 1004 shows a digital work presentation page presenting different content in the same digital work as in figures 7-10. The annotated content 1002 also shows a different relative position in the digital work than the example pictures described above. The labeled content shown at 1002 is the same labeled content added in FIGS. 7-10. After the content annotation request is received, the method and the system can reproduce and annotate the annotation content which is completely matched in the whole digital work. Presentation effects As shown at 1002, the special identifier automatically presents the content location in the page containing the annotated content in the other page.

As shown in fig. 10, the callout that has been added mr. bennet will be reproduced in other pages. The reader, using the exemplary operation described in FIG. 10, clicks on a special identifier to access the annotated annotation specification 1006. The annotation description presented when the content of the same annotation is accessed is the same. The manner of operation may be presented in other manners as well.

For the reproduction of the labeled content, character matching, part of speech matching, semantic analysis and the like can be judged based on the server system, and the labeled reproduction of the matched content is carried out through judgment.

In the example diagram of FIG. 7, the option of building an annotation relationship is provided when adding annotations. Upon receiving a request from a reader to construct an annotated relationship, the reader may be provided with the exemplary graph shown in FIG. 11.

FIG. 11 is shown as an exemplary page for building annotated relationships and adding a relationship description. In practical implementation, the method can adopt the forms of constructing in the page presenting all the annotations, constructing in the relationship diagram page, and the like. This example is presented for illustration only in a relatively straightforward form. After receiving a request from the reader to build a relationship, the request is sent with the label "mr. bennet" and is provided to the reader to build a relationship page 1104. For example, a build relationship request is issued to the annotation 1102mr. bennet, and the annotation relationship description of the corresponding build annotation relationship can be viewed and added in the page 1104. The added annotations presented at 1106 are the annotations that have been annotated in the corresponding digital work when the reader makes a request, and the reader may enter a relationship description at 1108. And after the relation description is input and succeeded, marking the relation to finish the construction. 1110 for annotated relationships that have already been added, the user can edit the modified or deleted relationships. When too many annotations have been added, the user is given 1112 "more" and can click to see more. In actual implementation, the user can directly pull up the page to view more, or adopt other forms. The reader can request to complete the construction of the annotation relationship after adding the description.

In the invention, the provided relation construction is the relation construction among labels, and readers can construct according to the illustration chart and can also construct according to actual implementation. After the annotated relationship is constructed, the software or the webpage is stored in the corresponding server and generates a relationship graph. The reader can access, view, edit and modify the information in some form.

FIG. 12 illustrates a portal to view a relationship diagram associated with a digital work provided on a content related to digital work page presented at a client system.

The page content in the example diagram is only illustrative content, and is not limited to the same page as the added label described above, nor is it limited to the digital work presentation page. 1202 the icon is a schematic entry for operations related to a digital work, and is shown only, and may be presented differently according to the specific implementation. 1204 is shown as the entry to the relationship diagram in this example. In the invention, after the constructed relational graph is viewed, an entrance for viewing, editing and modifying the edited relational graph is provided. 1204 is shown as one of the presentation forms that is readily understood, and other presentation forms such as graphics, special symbols, etc. may be used in actual implementations. The entries of the relationship graph may also be presented in other pages that can be associated with the generation of the digital work, without limitation to the style presented by the example graph. When the conditions allow, the relationship graph can be presented without an entrance and can be presented in the same page with the content of the digital work.

FIG. 13 is an exemplary diagram of receiving a relationship graph style automatically generated upon construction of an annotated relationship graph. The relationship diagram shown in fig. 13 is merely a referential display, and may be shown differently in actual implementations. 1302. 1306 are all labeled relationships that have already been constructed, and in actual implementation may be an overall relationship diagram. 1308 is annotated content to which annotations have been added but for which no relationships have yet been constructed. The content format shown in the relation diagram page can be changed according to actual needs, and is not limited by the example diagram.

In the invention, the operation of providing editing 1304 for the construction of the annotation relation graph is carried out, wherein the editing comprises operations of adding, deleting, modifying, viewing and the like.

In the device shown in fig. 13, the displayed labeled relationship diagram can be subjected to operations such as zooming in and zooming out, so as to be convenient for the reader to view. And providing a label explanation function for viewing the label content in the relation diagram, wherein the label explanation function can be presented by clicking the related label content in the example diagram. But the actual implementation is not limited thereto.

In light of the operability provided by FIG. 13 with respect to the annotation relationship graph, FIG. 14 provides an exemplary diagram for viewing a description of a relevant annotation of annotation content. 1402 is the label description of the corresponding label content. The form of the label is presented according to the received label description form. For example, if the picture annotation specification is received, the picture annotation specification can be presented in the form of a picture preview. The same method can be used in the same client system to access other label descriptions.

The presentation form noted in fig. 14 is presented at the current page, and in actual implementation there are many ways. For example, in a new page, in a slide down page, etc., and is not limited to the form illustrated in the example figures.

FIG. 15 can receive author edits to the annotated relationship graph. In the example of fig. 15, an edit relationship page 1506 shows the annotated content 1502 that received the annotation request, the corresponding associated annotation specification 1504, and an annotated 1508 of the relationship that the annotation 1502 can construct. FIG. 15 provides 1512 operations to illustrate more, due to possible limitations in the size of the exemplary client device interface in FIG. 15, that the fully added labels and label relationships cannot be exposed in similar applications. In actual practice, the slide page may be operated to load more or otherwise present. The implementations provided in this example figure are example implementations that are easy to understand.

The annotation specification 1504 of the annotation content 1502 is shown in combination of a picture and text. In practical implementations, other forms, singly or in combination, may be used, such as text, pictures, voice, and the like. The single or combined form and the information format adopted in the actual implementation do not influence the implementation of the invention.

1508 added annotations and relationship-related regions show descriptions of the added annotated relationship, and constructed annotated relationships can be checked for additions and deletions, for example, by editing descriptions of annotated relationships shown at 1510 that were added by authors.

FIG. 16 shows an exemplary diagram of a presentation of a page of content for a digital work to which annotations have been added. In the description of the present invention, the presentation form is the same as that of fig. 8. In this figure, the labeled content is a scientific vocabulary to make a supplementary description. The content in various forms can be added with labels according to requirements, and the labels can be added to professional vocabularies such as names of people, science and technology vocabularies which are difficult to understand, medicines and the like so as to conveniently view the label description in subsequent reading.

The labeled content 1602, 1604 is the specialized vocabulary. After the user adds the label, the user can check the reproduced label and the label description in subsequent reading. To help reading smoothly.

4. The method of labeling a digital work according to claim 1, wherein the relationship building between the labels to generate the labeled relationship graph comprises the steps of:

s5: the client sends a request for constructing an annotation relationship to the server system, the relationship being constructed between the annotations in the same digital work;

s6: the server system responds to the request and accepts the annotated relationship construction and forms the annotated relationship graph;

s7: and the server system stores the annotated relational graph and the digital work in the annotated relational graph database in a correlated manner.

5. The method of labeling a digital work of claim 4, wherein said labeled relational graph is comprised of nodes and links between nodes, said nodes being said labeled specific parts, said links having unidirectional arrows, bidirectional arrows, or no arrows, said linked nodes having or not having said label; the labeled relational graph is all the labeled relational graphs or part of the labeled subrelational graphs in the digital work.

6. The method for labeling a digital work according to claim 5, wherein the labeled relational graph is composed of the sub-relational graphs provided by one client or a plurality of clients, and the server system receives a revision operation of any client on the labeled relational graph and/or the sub-relational graph, wherein the revision operation comprises adding or deleting the nodes, the connecting lines, the arrow directions of the connecting lines and the labels of the nodes of the labeled relational graph and/or the sub-relational graph.

7. The method of annotating a digital work according to claim 4, wherein said annotation relationship graph is stored in remote data, said remote data being stored in synchronization with the content stored in said annotation relationship database, said remote data being stored accessible by at least one other device.
