2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, when editing a book by requesting manuscripts from a plurality of authors, an editor first meets each author and asks the author for a manuscript at a place in charge of the book. The editor confirms the completion of the manuscript with each author, and then collects the manuscript paper or text data created by each author to create a proofreading compilation. Then, the proofreading compilation is distributed to each author for content confirmation, and after each author corrects and confirms the content, the editor collects the proofreading compilation, edits it, and re-edits it. The work of distributing to each author for correction, confirmation, etc. is repeated to create the final compilation.

[0003]

However, in the conventional book editing method, the editor collects the manuscript after confirming that each author has prepared the manuscript. It is difficult to keep track of the manuscript completion and collection status in university lecture publications, which are often 10 to several hundred people, and the collection, editing and distribution must be repeated many times There was a problem. Also, authors cannot grasp the status of manuscript preparation by other authors, so the problem of manuscript preparation being delayed and the contents of manuscripts written by other authors cannot be confirmed until they see the proofreading compilation. However, there is a problem that duplicate descriptions are generated and expressions are not unified. As a result, collection of manuscripts is not progressed for editors, and correction and confirmation work must be repeated unnecessarily. .

[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a book in which the author's manuscript contents can be confirmed in real time not only in editing a book by several authors but also in editing a lecture summary publication of a university by several hundred authors. As a technical issue of providing an editing method, as a result of repeated research and experiments to achieve the realization, an author who has built a book editing server on a computer network and accesses the book editing server is in charge. If a manuscript is input in a document input item (a part in charge of a book) and a manuscript input by another author is displayed in a document input item assigned by another author, each author can obtain another document. It is possible to know whether the author has already entered the manuscript, and to create the manuscript by referring to the description contents of the manuscript by other authors. Since the progress of the creation can be checked in real time, it is easy for the editor to check the completion of the manuscript, and it is possible to reduce the correction and checking work. Obtained remarkable knowledge that it can prevent tampering,
The technical task has been achieved.

In the determination process, under the control of the control unit 9, first, as shown in FIG. 5, the subject name indicated by the received link data is a subject assigned by the first instructor to which the specific information is added. (Step s11), and if the subject name is the subject in charge of the first instructor, that is, the identification code and the author information corresponding to the subject name data recorded in the author information database 17 from the link data If the identification code is the same as the identification code corresponding to the specific information of the first instructor registered in the database 16, and if the same identification code, the subject name of the subject in charge of the first instructor from the copyrighted work information database 17 The manuscript document data is read into the work area memory 9a of the control unit 9, and an HTML file of the input screen 4 (see FIG. 7) in which the manuscript document is inserted is created (step s12). Is not the subject name
Copyright information database if not the same identification code
Another author (second instructor) to whom the different identification code (identification code other than the first instructor's identification code) is assigned from 17
The control unit 9 sends the manuscript document data of the subject name
Of the display screen 7 (see FIG. 7) in which the original document is inserted (step s13), and the created HTML file data is transferred from the book editing server 2 to the computer terminal 3. The message is transmitted (step s14).

In step s9, the screen 3
HTML file data is transmitted, and the subject name is the subject in charge of the first instructor.
Is determined to be the same identification code. Therefore, in the first submission of the first instructor, since the manuscript document data has not yet been recorded in the copyrighted work information database 17 in step s12, the HTML file (for example,... <FORM ACTION…>… <
B> Class purpose / contents </ B><TEXTAREA… NAME = “Class purpose / contents”…></TEXTAREA>…<B> Textbook </ B
><TEXTAREA… NAME = “textbook name”…><//TEXTAREA>
… <B> grade evaluation method </ B><TEXTAREA NAME = “gradation evaluation method”…></TEXTAREA></FORM> ...), and after processing step s14, returns to the editing processing.

Thus, the CRT of the computer terminal 3
The input screen 4 is displayed on the Web browser displayed in the above. The instructor operates the keyboard and mouse to display the selected subject name (for example, the outline of the Constitution) on the input screen 4.
By inputting the purpose / contents of the lesson, the textbook name used in the lesson, and the grade evaluation method (original document) that must be entered in the above, and clicking the send button, the original document data is transmitted to the book editing server 2. When the book editing server 2 receives the manuscript document data, under control of the control unit 9, the received manuscript document is associated with the selected subject name together with the submission date (progress status) and the copyrighted work information database 17. (Step s15) and an HTML file (for example,... <) Of the confirmation display screen 5 (see FIG. 7) into which the original document recorded in the copyrighted work information database 17 is inserted.
B> Class Objectives / Contents </ B><FONT…> “Objectives and Content of Classes” </ FONT>… <B> Textbooks </ B><FONT…>
"" Textbook name ""</FONT> ... <B> Grade evaluation method </ B
><FONT…>“" Grade evaluation method ”</ FONT> ...) (step s16), and then the HTML file data of the confirmation display screen 5 is transmitted from the book editing server 2 to the computer terminal 3. (Step s17). Thereby, the Web displayed on the CRT of the computer terminal 3 is displayed.
The display screen 5 is displayed on the browser, and after the first instructor checks the manuscript document on the display screen 5, the user operates the keyboard and mouse to click the registration button. Sent to the book editing server 2 and click the back button,
A click signal indicating an intention to correct is transmitted to the book editing server 2. When the book editing server 2 receives the click signal, it determines whether the received click signal is a click signal of a registration button or a click signal of a return button (step s18). Under the control of the control unit 9, original document data, which is a confirmed original document displayed on the display screen 5, is read from the copyrighted work information database 17 into the work area memory 9a of the control unit 9, converted into SGML format, and converted into an SGML file. Is created and recorded in the editing information database 18 in correspondence with the subject name (step s19). Then, an edit confirmation mail notifying that the manuscript has been edited is transmitted to the first instructor (step s20), and the edit processing ends. In step s18, if the signal is a click signal of the return button, the process jumps to step s12 of the determination process. The above
"" ... "in the HTML file represents a character string.

In step s12 after step s18, since the first draft is not the first draft of the instructor, the original document data is already recorded in the copyrighted work information database 17, so the input screen in which the original document is inserted is displayed. 4 HTML files (for example,… <FORM ACTION…>… <B>
Contents </ B><TEXTAREA… NAME = “Objective / Contents of class”…
>"Class Objectives / Contents"</TEXTAREA> ... <B> Textbook </ B><TEXTAREA NAME = "Textbook name"...>"Textbookname"</TEXTAREA> ... <B> Grade evaluation Method </ B>
<TEXTAREA… NAME = “Grade evaluation method”…> ““ Grade evaluation method ”(</ TEXTAREA>… <// FORM>…)) is created. Then, on the Web browser displayed on the CRT of the computer terminal 3, an input screen 4 in which the manuscript document is displayed is displayed. By correcting the purpose / contents, the textbook name used in the lesson, and the document of the grade evaluation method (manuscript document) and clicking the send button, the corrected manuscript document data is transmitted to the book editing server 2,
When the book editing server 2 receives the manuscript document data,
Under the control of the control unit 9, the received original document data is overwritten and recorded on the original document data before correction in the copyrighted work information database 17, and the submission date / time (progress status) is associated with the subject name and the copyrighted work information is recorded. It is recorded in the database 17 (step s15).

When the first instructor operates the keyboard and mouse from the screen 3 and clicks the return button, the screen 1
If the user clicks the return button from the screen 4, the screen returns to the screen 3. Further, when the other-author reference button is clicked on the screens 3, 4, and 5, the other-author reference processing shown in FIG. 6 is executed.

In the other-author referencing process, under the control of the control unit 9, first, as shown in FIG. 6, the names of all the subjects and the names of the authors in charge of the subjects are obtained from the copyrighted work information database 17 of the copyrighted work information storage unit 14. And the progress of the submission history of the author are extracted, and the title of the subject, the author name, and the submission date are displayed in columns, and an HTML file of a screen 6 (see FIG. 7) for selecting one of the subject names is created. After that (step s21), the HTML file data of the screen 6 is transmitted from the book editing server 2 to the computer terminal 3 (step s22). This allows
The screen 6 is displayed on the Web browser displayed on the CRT of the computer terminal 3, and the first instructor operates a keyboard and a mouse to select one of the subject names (for example, criminal law) from the screen 6 and select the subject. By clicking the name button, the link data of the subject name attached to the subject name button is transmitted to the book editing server 2, and when the book editing server 2 receives the link data, the subject name indicated by the received link data Jumps to step s10 in order to execute a judgment process of judging whether or not is the subject name assigned to the first instructor to which the specific information has been given.

If it is determined in step s11 of the determination process that the subject is not the subject in charge of the first instructor, that is, the identification corresponding to the subject name data recorded in the author information database 17 from the link data is performed. Based on the code, for example, the manuscript document data of the second instructor recorded in the copyrighted work information database 17 is read into the work area memory 9a, and the HTML file of the display screen 7 in which the manuscript document is inserted (for example,... <B > Objectives / Contents of class </ B><FO
NT…> “Class Objectives / Contents” </ FONT>… <B> Textbook </ B><FONT…> “Textbook Name” </ FONT>… <
B> Grade evaluation method </ B><FONT…> “Grade evaluation method” </ FONT> ...) (step s13), and the created HTML file data is sent from the book editing server 2 to the computer terminal 3. The message is transmitted (step s14).
As a result, a new WRT is displayed on the CRT of the computer terminal 3.
The eb browser starts up and the display screen 7 is displayed on the web browser.

When the first instructor operates the keyboard and mouse to click the [x] button on the screens 6 and 7, the screens 6 and 7 are closed together with the new Web browser.

When the editing process in step s6 is completed, the screen data for selecting whether or not to end the submission is transmitted from the book editing server 2 to the computer terminal 3 (step s23) and the submission is completed. If a signal is received, the book editing program is terminated. If a signal to continue submission is received, the process jumps to step s6. At the end of the book editing program, the program may jump to step s1.

Next, the second instructor of the university operates the computer terminal 4 owned by the second instructor to operate the Internet network 1.
Is connected to the book editing server 2 of the editor via, after processing the above-mentioned steps s1, s2 and s3, in the editing processing of step s6, steps s7, s8 and s9
Is performed, and the determination process of step s10 is executed.

Then, in step s11 of the judgment processing, if the subject name indicated by the received link data is the subject name assigned to the second instructor (for example, criminal law), the second instructor is referred from the copyrighted work information database 17 The manuscript document data of the subject in charge is stored in a work area memory of the control unit 9.
