Read and send this data to the electronic catalog editing sender.

In addition, the image data providing means 54 includes a plurality of image data stored in the record storage unit 6 when the electronic catalog editing sender connects from the outside and requests the viewing of the image data to be inserted into the catalog during catalog editing. At least one of the configured group of image data 63 is read, and the read data is transmitted to the electronic catalog editing sender. In addition, when the receiver who receives the electronic catalog browses the catalog online, the viewer is provided with a plurality of image data designated to display the catalog in a produced form.

When the catalog production processing unit 55 completes the production of the electronic catalog by inserting an explanation based on the form data of the electronic catalog and the group of video data based on the form data of the electronic catalog and the video data of the group 1, the catalog production processing unit 55 displays the produced electronic catalog as the image data. Complete the final e-catalogue with integrated text and description. The electronic catalog thus produced is recorded in the production completed catalog storage 64 at the request of the electronic catalog editing sender.

The data recording / reading means 56 reads the requested data from the recording storage unit 6 or records the edited catalog in the recording storage unit 6 in response to a request from another component of the processing unit 5. .

The e-mail transmission processing means 57 selects an e-catalogue to be sent by the e-catalogue edit sender, fills in the e-mail address of the recipient, and sends an e-catalog designated to the recipient at the specified address when instructed to send the e-mail.

In the subscriber information storage device 61 of the record storage unit 6, information relating to the confirmation of access rights for a plurality of subscribers, image data allocated to each subscriber, ownership information for a production catalog, etc., electronic mail address book information, and the like are recorded.

The catalog form storage 62 stores an electronic catalog form previously prepared by an administrator or subscriber, and the video data storage 63 stores a plurality of video data grouped in a group.

The catalog form recorded in the catalog form storage 62 is generally written in a markup language, and the main body includes storage location information (IP for a web server manager system) on a data communication network for a group of video data. An address, a storage location in the recording storage section and its file name), and a control tag for controlling a display method for a plurality of video data in a group of video data. In particular, it is preferable that the control tag executes a Java applet so that the viewers (editing senders and receivers) of the catalog can directly control the display mode in which a group of video data is displayed. In this case, as the display system that can be controlled by the viewer, display order (forward display / reverse display) control for one group of image data, display stop control, enlarged display, reduced display control, and display speed control may be exemplified.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a state in which an electronic catalog form written in a markup language is browsed on a browser screen, and a part which can be changed and recorded by an editor includes four areas, name area and image display. Area, product description area, and product specification display area.

A plurality of image data stored in the image data storage device 63 is associated so that a plurality of image data to be linked and displayed are grouped together to form a group, and at least one such group of image data is stored.

For example, if you want to configure 30 cuts of images to give a three-dimensional effect, create a folder (directory) to distinguish the specified group of image data from the others, and then create an image for each of the 30 cuts in it. Include data. The 30 image data is controlled so that Java applets are run and displayed continuously, so that the viewers of the image data can see the same effect as seeing a series of pictures, such as panorama effects, Or you can get the effect of turning the object.

Further, it is more preferable to include in each group of 30 pieces of image data using a method such as separately preparing an enlarged image of a part thereof. In this way, when the catalog editor or the viewer selects a part of the displayed screen, an enlarged image of the designated part may be displayed using a method of transmitting an enlarged image of the screen.

As an example of such an effect, an editor (or a viewer) can view a multi-set image that is placed on a table and rotates with the table in the image area of the editing state screen shown in FIG. 6, and the effect is a plurality of image data. It is obtained by sequentially changing the displayed group of image data in the image area. In addition, if the viewer clicks the rotation direction conversion icon on the drawing while the image to which the rotating three-dimensional effect is applied is displayed, the rotation direction may be changed by changing the display order of a plurality of images. . In addition, if a command to enlarge a specific part of the image displayed on the screen (click the zoom button, and then select the part to be enlarged), the enlarged image of the corresponding part is transmitted, thereby transmitting the previous image. You can get the zoom effect by substituting for. In this case, it is more preferable to configure such that it is reduced by clicking the right button of the mouse. In addition, when the stop icon is clicked, the rotation state can be stopped, and when the rotation speed control icon is clicked, the rotation speed can be adjusted slowly or quickly.

The control of the display can be performed in the same way as the receiver, and the interactive control given to the catalog can be performed. That is, the editor of the electronic catalog checks the same screen and screen effects as the screen viewed by the viewer who is the catalog receiver, and can directly edit the screen.

In addition, a group of image data which gives such an effect can be provided in advance by an administrator, or an edit sender can shoot and edit in advance, and generate the image data in the recording storage unit 6 of the manager system. It may be provided by recording to 63.

In the production completion catalog storage device 64, an electronic catalog editing sender inserts a group of video data produced or provided by the electronic catalog form into the electronic catalog form, and adds necessary explanations about the object represented by the video data. The completed electronic catalog form is recorded. Recorded results are used for reediting or resending edited senders.

Figure 3 is a simplified view showing the entire process of performing the edit delivery method of the electronic catalog including the interactive three-dimensional image data of the present invention, Figures 4 to 8 are in the edit screen of the electronic catalog edit sender in this process An example of the displayed screen is shown.

In the electronic catalog editing sending method of the present invention, before the editing sender directly edits the catalog, first, a plurality of forms of the electronic catalog and a group of image data are stored in a recording storage area of the data server or web server manager system (step S1, S2).

Then, when the edit sender who wants to create / edit and send the electronic catalog logs in to the web server manager system, a list of catalogs in progress is presented as shown in FIG. 4, where job selection is performed. If the " edit " command is selected in the screen of FIG. 4, the edit screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed, and if the "new catalog" command is selected, the catalog form selection screen of the example as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. In this screen, the edit sender can select a desired form, and selecting any one in the form displays a catalog edit screen as shown in Fig. 6 (step S3).

In the edit screen of FIG. 6, an editor who edits an electronic catalog may select one of four illustrated regions to display an input window as shown in FIG. 7 and edit the corresponding region.

In other words, one of a plurality of groups of image data presented can be selected by selecting "image display area" (step S4). As a result, the selected group of image data is inserted and displayed in the image display area, so that the expression state can be directly checked. Editing of the catalog is completed by selecting " product description area ", " product specification display area " and " name display area "

Thereafter, the production is completed and the "edited" icon at the bottom is selected to store the production electronic catalog in the recording storage area allocated to the subscriber of the web server manager system (step S6). The "Change Appearance" icon is for replacing the current form with another form.

After the e-catalogue is produced in this manner, the e-catalog including the produced interactive three-dimensional image data is transmitted by using the e-mail transmission device of the web server manager system by selecting the "e-mail transmission" icon of FIG. 6. Can be.

When the edit sender who has edited the e-catalogue presses the "Send mail" icon, an e-mail sending window as shown in Fig. 8 is displayed. In this screen, the recipient e-mail address and the reply to the reply if desired to purchase or The purchaser's record to be attached is added to order the shipment. In this case, it is more preferable that the purchase form including the purchase record item column can be provided separately along with the above-described electronic catalog form to be automatically attached.

Then, the electronic mail transmission device of the web server manager system sends the electronic catalog to the receiver according to this sending instruction (step S8).

In this case, for the convenience of the sender, an address book function and a sending mailbox function may be added to the electronic mail transmission device.

As described above, the configurations of the edit-sending device and the edit-sending device of the electronic catalog including the interactive three-dimensional image data according to the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above description and can be modified in various forms.

For example, the data communications network is not limited to the Internet alone, and the web server administrator system provides a catalog form, and based on the catalog form, the catalog editing sender can interactively check the status of the catalog while the sender views it online. If the receiver can edit the catalog including the three-dimensional image data of the receiver, and the receiver can receive the group of the image data to be inserted into the catalog from the web server administrator system in the online state, at least the recipient terminal is connected to the mobile terminal. It can also be configured as.

In addition, the image data inserted and displayed in the catalog form is not necessarily limited to the actual photograph of the product, and if it gives a three-dimensional effect and reacts interactively with the viewer, the original image is a designed image such as animation. Applicable to

In addition, the image data to be inserted and displayed in the catalog is not limited to product photographs, but may also be applied to comprehensive promotional materials such as personal promotional materials made of personal photographs, election promotional materials, public relations materials for companies, schools, and organizations.

By providing a method and apparatus for editing and sending an electronic catalog including the interactive three-dimensional image data of the above-described configuration, a reader who receives the electronic catalog can more clearly read through a catalog including image data that reacts interactively online. You can get rich product information.

In addition, the catalog sender can provide more clear information about their products, and the cataloging and editing of the catalog can be more conveniently and simply performed in the process of sending the catalog. In addition, since the same state that can be confirmed by the recipient or the reader can be checked while editing directly, the edited result can be immediately confirmed, so that the final purpose of information delivery can be more effectively performed.

In addition, by using the image data recorded in the image data recording apparatus of the web server manager system open to the communication network, the e-catalogue is sent out without using a personal computer (in the past, especially in the case of individuals, the data communication network is connected). Since it is not equipped with a data server for recording image data, it is difficult to create a catalog so as to stably give a three-dimensional effect without all the image data being directly included), and the electronic apparatus includes three-dimensional interactive image data. The catalog is sent to the recipient in the form of a small e-mail, and the receiver can realize the three-dimensional effect of the catalog without error even when the small e-mail is received.
