The invention relates to a method for. Providing information on content for a technical display device and / or / output device.

A variety of content is digitized or created digitally. For example, books are available in printed form and are digitized by scanning or books are available as ebooks in electronic form, i.e. digital. In the case of scanned books or texts, electronic character recognition has established itself so that the digitized image is machine-readable.

More generally, digital content can also include drawings, images, videos, presentations, photo books, sheet music, calculations, and other common representations in digital formats. ;

For better collaboration, information on content is created and shared, duplicated, changed and annotated, adopted and compared.

For this purpose, information such as comment functions, meta texts, versioning, corrections, markings, highlighting and change tracking are stored as information on the content and displayed on display devices.

DE 102015010139 A1 gives instructions for providing information in a digital marketing environment; in particular, metadata on content is generated and made available for evaluation for marketing activities,

The disadvantage of this solution is the assignment of information to the content. The prior art mentioned above gives the possibility of displaying or evaluating information on the content that. However, information is associated with the generated content and is based on the continuation of the content. Furthermore, the information in meta texts is assigned to the entire content, which is disadvantageous in the case of particularly extensive content. | ;

Another disadvantage of the state of the art is that in the case of content that is confidential or copyrighted or that has to be licensed, a further

It is guaranteed that the content is converted into index elements by segmenting, which do not allow any reverse conversion or reconstruction, but the assignment of information to index elements. Using the method according to the invention, other users or the same user are able to display the information created on the content via technical and / or output devices via a control unit for copyrighted content via a search and a search element. As the content is not transmitted, the user must be in possession of the content or at least a section of the content in order to create a search and at least one search element. As a result, the information can be assigned again with the method according to the invention without transmitting the content or parts of the content or reconstructing the content or parts thereof.

It is advantageous if the method according to the invention is carried out on a control unit. In particular, all method steps are carried out completely by computer program commands on a control unit. In the simplest case, a control unit is a computer system or computer consisting of a storage unit for recording. of content and information, a computing unit for example a microprocessor or a CPU or GPU and a data connection to a technical display and / or technical output. The computer system or computer advantageously also has an input unit for providing content and information on the computer system. It is also conceivable for the control unit or the computer system to be implemented as a distributed computer environment.

Frame rate and other scaling factors between generation and display are not mandatory. It can even be provided that a lower resolution or only part of the information is displayed for the display and the resolution, the scope or other changes to the display are only made through the interaction of the user. This has the advantage that the computer system is relieved.

According to the invention, provision of information on content is provided. Content can be text files, audio files, image files, video files, or other digital content or digitized content, in particular copyrighted content such as standards, books, images, sheet music, compositions or any other form of digital content or digitized content that is not without copyright infringement other users may be passed on. The information provided for the content can be comments, text, characters, symbols, annotations, hyperlinks or markings, as well as metadata about the user. This provision is preferably made on a computer system or a storage unit. In a further step, the documents are segmented. Segments of content can be, for example, pages, paragraphs, graphics, image elements, scenes, sections, headings, footnotes, references or other subdivisions or structures specific to the content. Particularly with very extensive content, paragraphs can also be segmented into lines, for example. In a further step, the segments are indexed. The individual segments of each content are indexed in order to be able to search them automatically without saving the content of the segments. An index element is a description of a segment without actual content that is suitable for an automated search. The content cannot be returned from an index and / or from an index element. An index is a collection of index items. An index is created for each content. An index consists of the individual index elements that enable the automated searchable description of a segment without actual content. The information occurring at this point in the content, for example the original document, for example comments or annotations, is assigned to each index element. The index is provided via a computer system or control unit. The computer system can for example comprise a database or can be provided in a cloud to an internet-based memory and / or database system. In a further step there is provision for a user to create a search. A search includes at least one search element. For example, a search in indexed content such as a text document can include a search text entered manually via the input of the computer system or a photo of a text loaded into the computer system with subsequent text recognition of the printed content.

In a further step, a search element is to be created. A search element is an approximate or similar section of an index element that can be searched for in all indexes and / or index elements. In a further step, the search is provided with a search element in the index elements. The search element is used to search the various indexes for the index element that is most similar to the search element. The result of a search query is the information, for example comments, which were saved on the index element found. In a further step, the information assigned to the index elements found is displayed on a technical display device and / or output device.

It is particularly advantageous if information on very extensive content can be displayed on a technical display device via the method at points in the content that have been assigned via index elements. If the content is to be displayed on the information, for example a technical standard that has several pages of text, the method can be displayed on a section of the content, for example a paragraph, by creating a search element for this paragraph on a technical display device
