Description

Resource and project management system

Related application

The application requires to enjoy the right of priority of No. 60/094912 U.S. Provisional Patent Application of submitting on July 31st, 1998.

Technical field

Generally speaking, the present invention relates to the management of graph image development project, specifically, relate in the performance history of product package pattern image in preprinting (pre-press) industry, the tracking and the management of project and trademark.

Background of invention

People have designed various software products, are used for managing various file layouts specially.Aldus Fetch is this product of first appearance, is used to apple MACINTOSH computing machine.It is configured to various images and application file formatting catalogue (to catalog), for example EPS, TIFF, Adobe ILLUSTRATOR file, and other patent and non-patent document form.Another product in the prior art is a Kudos Image browser.This product use-pattern is simpler, but does not have Aldus Fetch function many.These two products can both be unique user or a small set of user management file, but can not be extended to a working group or company well, say nothing of an enterprise.

The purpose of this product of design CUMULUS is the shortcoming that overcomes Aldus Fetch and Kudos Image browser, and it has represented the beginning of image management product of future generation.Cumulus is extended to working group and company with a kind of client/server configuration with image management.The Cumulus client software is not to open file at the local hard drive that stores all images management information, but connects with a database of Cumulus server software management.Cumulus also provides a kind of hierarchical key word structure, and the organization and management that is used in the key word of describing image is more prone to.Though Cumulus makes that in whole company sharing this image information becomes very easy, along with the increase of the quantity of image in the database, its performance will descend.

All products of introducing previously all use the patent database strategy.Because the user can't directly obtain the information that stores, make to integrate extremely difficult with other products these products.These products still are the center with the file.In other words, these products can only be the filing catalogue, produce preview, and extraction document exclusive data, for example date created, file type, file size or the like.These products can't store the product information that belongs to these files at all, for example: with the relevant information of operation of using these files, perhaps used these application files of which type of font/printed words and creation of image.In fact, this information, just primitive data is most important.

Image management product of future generation combines the Workflow Management instrument of preprinting.This series products comprises: the medium bank of Architype and media asset (Assets).These products continue to use the patent database technology, strengthen but combine workflow, conveniently to preprint product, particularly on catalogue market.But these product prices are high.In addition, these products are suitable for the catalogue produce market, and this produce market basically not the attendant of a stage actor adorn market and use identical Software tool.

Another shortcoming of these products is that they need be managed in a like fashion and preprint workflow.This provides minimum dirigibility for developing the industry that is subjected to significant impact like this rapidly because of technology.

At last, new class image management product is based on the product of open standard technology.The telescope of the north Plain system and the media manager of Imation are two products that belong to this class.The main difference of these products is that they also have 14 customizable information fields except the such fileinfo of store files name, file size, file type, date created or the like.These two products are all at lane database store document information and custom fields with the SQL compatibility, for example sql server of Microsoft, perhaps Oracle.This makes becomes possibility with the Query of Crystal Reports or Microsoft such custom application or the direct accessing database of database report instrument.Do like this and also allow file publishing information in Web browser.

Yet although media manager and " telescope " are based on open standard, these products still can only be used for a zone.They all are to be the product at center with the file.In other words, for data input base, must at first be a file catalogue.Unfortunately be a large amount of primitive data that is independent of file just to have been arranged in the past creating file.

The objective of the invention is to solve these problems of the prior art.The present invention adopts the relational database of standard, but on the basis of prior art, by creating the database structure that can store primitive data not needing to exist under the situation of file or image, has increased the function of these relational databases.The present invention also provides a kind of senior security personnel's model.In addition, the present invention allows to use API (application programming interfaces), and this API makes the third party can create customized searches or function, and the content of shopping small handcart is operated.

The present invention also allows each user area of trade mark, product, operation, project, file, incident, operation in the database and they to have the hard-core customizable data field of quantity.The present invention also adopts a kind of distributed file management mode.This means not to be file is stored in lane database, but file, see which file server they reside in database trace.Therefore, can in a computing machine, perhaps in whole world computer network Anywhere, find these files.

At last, the present invention is a workflow tool, is designed to the management whole process of production, from the design and the design of product, to preprinting product, to the conversion of printing packaging and the propaganda sales promotion that utilizes general term to carry out.These advantages that provide in this instructions and other advantage can address these problems and other problem.

The invention summary

The invention provides a kind of system, be used for safeguarding, visit digital asset and digital asset filed.In an embodiment, this system follows the storage of file and image information to combine the management function of file and image.Except can utilizing these system's access images assets itself, this system also connects these assets with out of Memory, thus the work that the user can be followed the tracks of finish and define new project.In addition, system information is stored in the data hierarchy with nature business process unanimity.

Detailed Description Of The Invention

Although the present invention has many multi-form embodiments, but, expression in the accompanying drawings and described in detail here is the preferred embodiments of the invention, be understood that, disclosed herein is an example of principle of the present invention, is not will limit the present invention on the embodiment given here.

The invention provides a kind of system, be used for project being followed the tracks of and being managed in the performance history of preprinting product package pattern image in the industry.The present invention also provides a kind of system, is used to manage the assets that are used for development packing graph image.

One embodiment of the invention can be described with the form of a system, this system adopts communication server software 11, client machine system software 12 and a SQL database engine 13, they are all worked on 19 li computing machines of

computer network

15,16,17, as shown in Figure 1.Communication server software in this preferred embodiment can be any server that can carry out HTTP (HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)) link, for example the communication server software of Microsoft or Netscape sale.The client software of this preferred embodiment can be any software that can carry out the HTTP link.Yet, because this embodiment combines framework and the scripted code of writing with JavaScript, therefore, the client software that can show the HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) that combines framework and JavaScript is exactly necessary, for example explorer of Microsoft the 4.0th edition or higher version, perhaps omniselector of Netscape the 3.0th edition or higher version.

Client computer 15 comprises common input media 14 and a display 18.Input media 14 can comprise a common keyboard and a mouse, is used to allow the user select clauses and subclauses on the display 18.Display 18 can be a common cathode-ray tube display or any other appropriate device that Visual Display can be provided for the user.

This embodiment provides dirigibility for option is set.The user of this system or can oneself the operation and maintenance communication server and SQL database engine in person, the communication server and the SQL database engine that perhaps can enoughly pass through training and have an expert of resource are safeguarded this system.

In addition, because the computer code in this embodiment resides in the communication server, when product up-gradation, be easy to update software.So just there is no need to upgrade the software in each computing machine of this system of operation.Also have, because this client software is the availability of high level very, almost can on whole world computing machine Anywhere, move this system and not need to install special client software, as long as this communication server is positioned in the wide area network, for example in the Internet.But if desired, this system can be stored in the independent computer platform, and operation therein.In addition, this computer code this platform of can packing in dismountable transmission medium is for example from CD (CD) and so on this platform of packing into.

The present invention is preferably according to the hierarchy store user data.This means not to be all data (image, attribute, event lists) are all put in the independent bulk container, but with data organization with save as a tree structure, its complicacy changes with the complicacy of stored product.Two data hierarchies are preferably arranged when in fact working simultaneously: a trade mark hierarchy and a hierarchy of items, each in them all provides a kind of different visual angles of data.This structure not only provides a kind of effective method for managing these data, and can also imitate the relation that normal business can find in the cycle.

Refer now to Fig. 2, wherein described the screen that a user interface is provided.In an embodiment, the screen that all users select all shows in visual displays 18 (Fig. 1) lining, and this each screen 20 all has identical basic structure in the present invention, comprises a search box 21, a controller chassis 22 and a data frame 23.Therefore, client software 12 all is presented at 20,21,22 these frames on the display 18 together.All speech " screen " and " page or leaf " these speech of using in this application specification all should be understood to represent 20,21,22 these frames.

The underscore of those speech illustrates that those speech are hyperlinks among Fig. 2.Can select hyperlink with input media 14 (Fig. 1), for example Genius mouse or the keyboard that connects with the computing machine with this client software of operation selected hyperlink.In this instructions, term " click " will be represented to select a hyperlink with Genius mouse or keyboard.When clicking hyperlink, the user understands a function of activation system.

The search box 21 of screen 20 provides the visit to function of search, just can carry out this function by one of button click 24.Search box 21 also provides the context of application by indicating the current zone of working of user.For example, can indicate this zone by highlighting a button.

Controller chassis 22 comprises link 26, the operation that explanation will be carried out.Controller chassis 22 is caught up with hereinafter directly related, the area change of the application that can work according to the user.At its top is link 26, and it depends on the content of data frame 23.Below them, be the link of being correlated with application as a whole, can show them with different colours.These links and context-free preferably can both be found them at any time.As shown in Figure 2, controller chassis 22 can comprise a thumbnail link 29, by clicking this link, all can be presented at 23 li of data frame with the relevant thumbnail of choosing of object.

Data frame 23 is main bodys of page or leaf 20.Data frame 23 comprises the current data of working of user.Therefore, the result of all operations that carries out is presented at 23 li of data frame.

Preferably each system user all has a number of the account, and by this number of the account, he or she can login and enter this system, and visits the application program of this system.User account preferably includes this user's information, comprises login ID, password and e-mail address.This information can visit by " user profile " button 49 of clicking 22 li of control flows.

In an embodiment, allow their at least some account information of user's modification.For example, no matter when change has taken place in user's e-mail address or telephone number, and the user is new email address or telephone number more.The unalterable unique user account of user be the user login ID and exabyte preferably.Yet expectation allows the management of assets can revise these values.

Those technician can understand in this area, and the trade mark hierarchy is towards assets.Its purpose is to create a structure, manages with the relevant asset data of trade mark, product, operation and file, as shown in Figure 3 according to logical relation.In this example, " Krunchy " trade mark 31 has two

row product

32a and 32b: " pretzels " and " chips ".Owing to have only a kind of " pretzels ", so this hierarchy directly is connected to product 32a from trade mark 31, is attached to operation 34a (just " operation 206 ") then.But because three kinds " chips " are arranged, this hierarchy just is connected to product 32b from trade mark 31 and is connected to sub-product 33a, next is connected to operation 34b (just " operation 226 ").According to the needs of accurate organize content, trade mark hierarchy 30 can have with trade mark 31, sub-trade mark, product 32 and sub-product 33 as many levels.

Example in Fig. 3 again, further check hierarchy 30 below, " pretzels " product 32a has operation 34 relevant with them with " potato " product 32b.Each operation 34 all has one group of file 35 relevant with it, need use these files when carrying out this operation.

The item layer aggregated(particle) structure is manufacturing-oriented.Its purpose is to create a structure, is used for managing with the relevant product data of project, operation and incident, as shown in Figure 4.In this example, " propaganda in winter " project 37 comprises two operation 34a, 34b, and each in them all comprises one group of incident 38, and this group incident must take place before operation is finished.This project also comprises one group of incident 39, and they belong to this project oneself.Similar with trade mark hierarchy 30, as required, hierarchy of items 36 can be broken down into any multilayer and manage.Before needed operation of appointment and event lists, which floor sub-project is each project can comprise.

As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, " Krunchy " trade mark hierarchy 30 and " propaganda in winter " hierarchy 36 all comprise " operation 226 " (label 34b just).This is because these two hierarchies on this work layer intersection have taken place.

Operation both can be from the angle of assets, again can be from the angle of product.From the angle of assets, operation is a set of desired data element (file).From the angle of product, operation comprises those incidents of a series of step 1 that must take place from start to end.Because operation has this dual character, they are included in two hierarchies simultaneously, and a place that is crossed to another hierarchy from a hierarchy is provided.

Fig. 5 has illustrated the intersection on work layer between Fig. 3 and the hierarchy shown in Figure 4." operation 226 " (label 34b just) is the part of " propaganda in winter " project 37 and the part of " Krunchy " trade mark 31 simultaneously.When observing with the relevant incident of " operation 226 " 34b, the user is this operation of angle from project; When observing with this operation file associated, the user is this operation of angle from project.The user can visit " operation 226 " 34b by any one hierarchy in these two hierarchies.The user can also visit with this operation relevant incident and file, and does not consider the user along which hierarchy gets off.This dual hierarchy that intersects in work layer is by representing at the button layout of 21 li of the search boxes of user interface 20, as what will introduce in further detail here.

As mentioned above, the present invention has adopted three function of tonic chord districts: 1) trade mark or asset management, 2) project management and 3) exchange files.In one embodiment of the invention, a kind of management function also is provided, be used to be provided with systematic parameter and security.

Trade-mark administration makes the user can safeguard and organize with particular brand and product file associated.As mentioned above, trade mark is a product family.A trade mark can also be included in mutually different more trade mark in this product family.But a trade mark or sub-trade mark comprise a product at least.In a certain specific products, has more products.But last, a product or a sub-product can comprise an operation at least.Operation comprises the file that will follow an operation contact and/or will do event in the industry.File is some design elements of a packing of product.File can be an image, font, document or any other design element.Incident is relevant with the design process of a packing of product, will further introduce in the project management function.Trade mark, product, operation, file and incident are referred to as assets or object.Because, for example, in a trade mark, may have different types of assets, for example a sub-trade mark or a kind of product, the content of assets is called sub-assets sometimes generally.

Trade-mark administration portion of tissue and four kinds of main information of demonstration: 1) sub-assets inventory, 2) the liaison maintenance function, 3) search brand equity function, 4) the assets protection function.Asset management partly is provided to a simple link with the relevant incident of a certain assets.

The method that the information of three kinds of positioning system lane databases is preferably arranged: browse, navigate and search for.Select any method to depend on the type of the data that will seek, and what the user understood to these data.

Browsing method make the user can or by the trade mark hierarchy or the content of watching each layer in the hierarchy by hierarchy of items layer by layer.In concept, it is similar browsing with using Web browser.Resemble a people and can find a website, then by clicking suitable link, seek the information that needs, browse and make the user can find a trade mark, be a product below it then, be an operation then, reduce the scope length by length by clickthrough at last and find a file or incident.Each user clicks a link, gos deep into a step in hierarchy, and the content that data frame is 23 li is just replaced by new information.The key of browsing is a context, and if the user determine to browse the detailed description that when the user progressively gos deep into, helps the object of observation and visual cues in this hierarchy, browsing is exactly a kind of using method of needs.

The general picture that air navigation aid makes the user can observe the hierarchy of whole trade mark is primarily focused on certain one deck object then.In concept, navigation is similar with using MACINTOSH FINDER or Microsoft's Window explorer.In these two kinds of application, the user is the content inventory that the expansion icon on click file next door is checked it.Similarly, when utilizing the present invention to navigate, the user clicks the content that the icon in the outline format is checked trade mark, sub-trade mark, product, sub-product and operation.When each user clicked, outline all will be launched, and previous outline content then is retained in 23 li of data frame.The key of navigation is a mutual relationship, if the user does not need the figure clue, perhaps the user thinks the one-piece construction of understanding system database, and observes different relation between objects, and navigation is exactly a kind of essential using method so.

Searching method can find the user to satisfy the object or a group objects of a certain group of criterion.Search is at the conceptive research tool that is similar to use based on World Wide Web.May locate " page or leaf that comprises the information of preprinting about numeral " with a World Wide Web research tool as the user, the search in the present invention makes the user can locate " following the relevant All Files of finishing in the January in this year of trade mark X operation ".The key of search is a criterion, if the user forget an object stores in the data hierarchy structure where, if perhaps the user to want to find in a data hierarchy be not a plurality of objects that are stored in together, so, search is exactly a kind of method that needs use.

As previously mentioned, browse and make the user check that its content finds an object along a certain branch of a trade mark or hierarchy of items.On each layer, the user can select further to look into down, perhaps checks the details about these objects.When each user asked to obtain fresh information, data frame all will refresh.

Describe below and browse the illustrative step of title for a lane database trade mark hierarchy of " Whacky food " database.Certainly, the user's data storehouse can comprise different information, and purpose hereinafter is in order to describe, to describe the ability of an embodiment of browser with this.

Login enters after this system, and system display provides a top layer trade mark page or leaf 40 as trade mark page or leaf shown in Figure 6.At the top of page or leaf 40 are search boxes 21.Except the visit to research tool was provided, search box 21 is the context of display application also, and which zone of the present browsing data hierarchy of user structure is described.For example, because present browsing trade mark highlights " trade mark " button 25 in Fig. 6.

At the top of data frame 23, the type of the object of page head 41 explanation browsings.For example, in Fig. 6, shown " trade mark inventory ".Set up illustrative " Whacky food " database that uses in this explanation, the trade mark of top layer is exactly a classification like this, rather than actual trade name trade mark.This trade mark and product information that makes that business enterprice sector or product grouping will be organized is in place.In order to describe, at " Whacky food " lane database two top layer trade marks are arranged: " consumer " and " tissue ".

Be to look for road device (wayfinder) 42 below title 41.This looks for the road device to show the level of hierarchy, is formed into a road warp of current object, makes the user return any one deck by clicking a link.Here will further discuss in further detail and look for road device 42.

It below looking for road device 42 displayed record pop-up menu 43.If the record that retrieves is more than the record that can once show on the screen, this displayed record pop-up menu makes the user can show next group record.The record number that shows is provided with definition by system, may be all inequality for inventory, thumbnail and contact single-view.For example, if inventory show to be provided with and to be configured to " 5 record " and lane database has 20 trade marks, so, this displayed record pop-up menu just shows " record 1 in 20 records finding of demonstration is to record 5 " at the beginning.Utilize this pop-up menu 43, user's displayed record 6 subsequently is that record 11 arrives record 15 to record 10 then, or the like.

In the bottom of this one page is tables of data 44.This tables of data is listed in the hierarchy objects all in this one deck, and provides the Information 46 of each object.Column headings 47 in the click data table, can be in alphabetical order or numerical order this hurdle of this table is sorted.Field name claims the arrow 48 on next door to show that this hurdle still is to arrange according to descending order according to ascending.

The content of tables of data 44 is difference along with the difference of the object type of browsing.For example, trade mark shows one group of hurdle, and operation then shows one group of different hurdles.Yet object oriented 50, manager 51 and inventory 52 are shared hurdles of tables of data of many objects.Object oriented hurdle 50 (" trade (brand) name " in the sort of situation of Fig. 6) comprises link 54, provides the title of object.Click the details page or leaf that object oriented link 54 can show this object, this point will further be introduced in the back, and it can provide the deep layer information of this object.

Manager hurdle 51 comprises link 56, illustrates about this object to look for which people's contact.Click manager link 56 can show a contact detail page or leaf, and this manager's information is provided, and comprises a link, makes the user can send an Email to he or her.

Inventory hurdle 52 comprises sub-assets hyperlink 58, the sub-assets in its representative data packet configuration below the current assets (the sub-trade mark under the sort of situation of Fig. 6).Therefore, click inventory link 58 and can enter following one deck of the selected sub-assets of hierarchy.

Preferably each inventory link 58 all is a word, illustrates which kind of sub-assets or object is these assets comprise, for example " sub-trade mark ", " sub-product " or " product ".Therefore, by clicking inventory link 58, data frame 23 changes over assets in the sub-assets that explicit declaration clicks or a screen of object.For example, by clicking the inventory link 58 of trade mark " consumer " in Fig. 6, it is described like that data frame 23 becomes Fig. 7.The page or leaf that obtains shows relevant trade (brand) name (just sub-trade mark) below consumer's trade mark, consumer's trade mark comprises, for example, and " computing machine fast food ", " Krispy " oatmeal porridge and " Youbetcha " vegetables.Should be understood that support of the present invention has the data hierarchy structure of Multi-layer trademark, sub-trade mark, product and sub-product.

Further go deep into this hierarchy, arrive " Youbetcha " trade mark, realize by 52 li " sub-trade mark " inventories links 58 in inventory hurdle in the delegation of click Fig. 7 bottom." sub-trade mark " inventory link 58 of clicking sub-trade mark " Youbetcha " can make data frame 23 become the sub-assets (just sub-trade mark) of description " Youbetcha ", as shown in Figure 8.Shown in inventory hurdle 52, " Youbetcha " has another layer that comprises four sub-trade marks below it: super beans, super carrot, super corn and super pea.Along with the difference of selected sub-trade mark, further click enters hierarchy can make the user enter another straton trade mark or a gas producing formation.

By " product " inventory link 58 of capable lining trade mark second from the bottom " super corn " in the clicks table 44, in the sub-assets (product just) of 23 li demonstrations of data frame " super corn ", as shown in Figure 9.Present title 41 is " product inventories ", and data frame makes the user can visit " super corn " product of top layer.Further, as (Fig. 6-8 just) " trade mark inventory " page or leaf of front, " product inventory " page or leaf comprises the tables of data 44 of having listed its content, the just tables of data of the sub-product that can obtain.Below " super corn " trade mark four sub-products are arranged, they all comprise further sub-product link or operation link, are presented at 52 li on the inventory hurdle of product inventory page or leaf.

As shown in figure 10, click " sub-product " inventory on inventory hurdle 52 link 58 in " the super corn of Mexico " product in Fig. 9, can show its sub-product.This one page has been listed three sub-products below the super corn product of Mexico.Further, these products are more and more concrete, and they are more and more corresponding with the actual product of selling.Because these products are concrete like this in this one deck, so their following sub-never again product.On the contrary, they have operation.

Further, except operation, some products comprise the product template.These product templates are used to store with the design template that product is relevant.

As shown in figure 11, click, can show the operation inventory below this product with relevant " operation " inventory link 58 of product shown in Figure 10 " 15 ounces of super corns of Mexico ".These three operations are relevant with " 15 ounces of super corn products of Mexico ".A repetition in " 15 ounces of super corns of Mexico " Product labelling is all represented in each operation.

In Figure 11, the title 41 of data frame 23 is suitably made into " operation inventory ".In addition, except trade mark or product, tables of data 44 comprises different kinds of information.Tables of data comprises: job number, job title, operation manager, operation language, operation date of expiry, end of job date and job state.

As shown in figure 11, operation " 15 ounces of super corn baselines of Mexico (baseline) " comprises two inventory links: another expression of an expression " incident " " file ".Like this, 52 li on the inventory hurdle, the user can select a chain to fetch and check this operation file associated or the incident of following.Click " file " link 62 one deck of can down going further, arrive the bottom of trade mark hierarchy, and show lists of documents page or leaf shown in Figure 12.Clicking " incident " link 64 can cross-entry hierarchy of items and presented event inventory page or leaf.

The intersection that should be pointed out that trade mark hierarchy and hierarchy of items in Figure 11 provides by the link 62 of " file " inventory and " incident " inventory link 64.Therefore, the user can be switched between two hierarchies by work layer.

As shown in figure 12, click lists of documents that comprise with in relevant " file " inventory link 62 these operations of meeting demonstration of " 15 ounces of super corn baselines of Mexico " operation of Figure 11.The title 41 of this one page is " lists of documents ", and this one page is listed with this operation file associated, and shows with their relevant software applications, file type, date created and size.Operation shown in Figure 12 has 9 files relevant with it, but has only shown 4 at the beginning in tables of data.Utilize this displayed record pop-up menu 43, the user can check the remaining paper in this inventory, at first is that file 5 arrives file 8, next is last file 9.

First hurdle 66 of tables of data 44, small handcart is provided to user's the quoting of shopping small handcart, and it comprises a memory block, and the user is store files there.Icon 68 these files of explanation on 66 left sides, small handcart hurdle are in shopping small handcart the inside or in shopping small handcart the outside.The icon 70 on the right makes the user file can be moved into or take out of the shopping small handcart.

Should be pointed out that file is the bottom in the data hierarchy structure.Because file bottom is without any object or assets in the hierarchy, thus in the lists of documents page or leaf of Figure 12 in the tables of data 44 without any the inventory hurdle.

Illustrated as the front, look for road device 42 to make the people can jump to floor different in the hierarchy and get on.Look for road device 42 down to show the trade mark hierarchy to current location from the top (specifying) of database by the link of Whacky food company.Before each layer all is presented at one deck below, inwardly indentation, there are one of three icons the front, for example registrar name of an article symbol, one cylindrical, or a file, is used for specifying a trade mark, a product or an operation respectively.

One page that click looks for a link of 42 li of road devices can jump to the content of the selected object of representative gets on.Click the details page or leaf that the link of representing upper strata (showing with the thick autograph) can show the upper strata, the back will be introduced this point in detail.

Click looks for " consumer " link in the device of road can show the trade mark that comprises in consumer's classification shown in Figure 7 again, wherein can select another trade mark to continue to browse this trade mark hierarchy.

As mentioned above, the present invention makes the user can browse the trade mark hierarchy.The user only need select the top layer trade mark to check it, clicks the link in the inventory hurdle in the data presented table then, down is deep in the hierarchy step by step and goes.Click trade mark, product or a job name, rather than the inventory gangway chain connects, can show a details page or leaf of selected layer, rather than continue to go deep into this hierarchy, will introduce in further detail here.Can utilize and look for the road device to get back to any one deck in the hierarchy.

When working in hierarchy of items, the mode of operation of browser is identical.The user can fetch by the item chain in the click controller chassis and browse hierarchy of items.In case enter this hierarchy, the user just can select the top layer project, and the link in the inventory hurdle in the tables of data that obtains by click then is deep into sub-project, operation from this project, and final arrival event.As in the trade mark hierarchy, the user can fetch inspection details page or leaf by clicking a project, sub-project or job name chain, and the back will be introduced in further detail.

Navigation allows the user to check the trade mark hierarchy of total system with a kind of outline format on one page.By launching and shrink this outline, the user can check each relation between objects.In an embodiment, can only check the trade mark hierarchy with navigational tool, and can not check hierarchy of items with navigational tool.

Again illustrate how to utilize the present invention to browse the trade mark hierarchy with same illustrative " Whacky food " database.Though customer data base can comprise different information, this example can illustrate the ability of this system's navigational tool.

Refer now to Fig. 6, " navigation " button 74 of clicking 22 li of controller chassises can start this navigational tool, and shows top layer trade mark shown in Figure 13.At the top of this one page is system data library name 76 (just " Whacky food company ").It below database-name 76 inventory of all objects 78 of trade mark hierarchy top: the top layer trade mark.Each object 78 that shows is all used the delegation's representative that comprises three elements: show or expansion icon 80, object icon 82 and object name 84.

First element in each row is a display icon 80.If icon 80 points to the right, this delegation just shrinks, and does not show any layer below this object 78.If this icon 80 directed downwards, this delegation is exactly what launched, and one or more layer below this object 78 is revealed.If contracted, the user just can clickable icon 80 shows the one deck below the selected object 78.If launched, the user just can clickable icon 80 shrinks all layers below the selected object 78.

Display icon face after 80s is an object icon 82.Object icon is used for illustrating the type of the object 78 of this delegation's representative, the people can be understood at a glance, and wherein: it is a trade mark that the brand mark of having registered indicates the back, and the cylindrical back that indicates is a product, and it is an operation that the file symbol indicates the back.

In object icon 82 back are object orienteds 84, are used for discerning this object.If this object oriented 84 is shown as a hyperlink, so, click the details page or leaf that this link will show this object.

The display icon 80 of click " consumer " trade mark front can show the sub-trade mark below consumer's classifications, as shown in figure 14.In this example, three trade marks below consumer's classification, have been shown: " computing machine fast food ", " Krispy " oatmeal porridge and " Youbetcha " vegetables.

The display icon 80 of click " Youbetcha " trade mark front can show the sub-trade mark below it, as shown in figure 15.In this example, four sub-trade marks below " Youbetcha " trade mark, have been shown: " super beans ", " super carrot ", " super corn " and " super pea ".

The display icon 80 of clicking " Krispy " trade mark front makes the user also can check that part of this trade mark hierarchy.As shown in figure 16, outline is deployed into two sub-trade marks that demonstrate below " Krispy " trade mark." Krispy sheet " trade mark can further be launched into the content that shows it, because provided a display icon.Yet, because in this hierarchy, below " the sandwich dessert of Krispy " trade mark without any object, so its front is without any display icon.

By launching and shrink various objects, the user can check more object hierarchies below " Youbetcha " trade mark.Therefore, navigation can provide with the different trade mark hierarchy figure that provides is provided.In with one page, the user not only can find some objects, but also can compare object.For example, as shown in figure 17, " the super corn of cheese " product has a specification, but " the super corn of Mexico " has three specifications, and this " the super corn of Mexico " is unique product of Ju You $0.20 complimentary ticket operation.

The display icon that shrinks " the super corn of Mexico " product front can stash all layers below it, as shown in figure 18.Equally, the content of " 15 ounces of super corns of Mexico " product and " the super corn of Mexico " product has all been hidden.

As shown in figure 19, launch " the super corn of Mexico " product and can demonstrate three kinds of products below it again.Note, again during expansion " the super corn of Mexico " product, only show the one deck below it, although before its shrinks, once showed two-layer.Equally, collapsible all objects below it when preferably shrinking an object, but only launch one deck below it when launching an object.

Should be pointed out that when using navigation the present invention preferably can allow the user by clicking the title link of object, jump in the browse mode at any one deck of data hierarchy structure and go.Therefore, do a details page or leaf can opening selected object like this, this will introduce in the back in further detail.

Illustrated how the trade mark hierarchy is navigated above.To sum up, navigation is to start by the navigation button of clicking in the controller chassis.In case demonstrate navigation page, the user just can launch or shrinks the object outline by clicking display icon.In hierarchy, the front does not have below the object of display icon without any object.Launch outline and can below selected object, show one deck in addition.The contraction outline can be hidden all layers below the selected object.

When preferably the user clicks the navigation button for the first time, in data frame, show the top layer trade mark.If the user launches several objects, leave navigation page and not do not nullify, return again then, the state of data frame when this system can remember that the user browses at last, and show according to the sort of state.Therefore, if the user has launched a plurality of objects, select to check that the details page or leaf of an object is not to mean to have to launch again all the things when this user recovers to navigate.

Search can be found the user to satisfy the object or a group objects of specific description.Specify search criteria: show the one group of attribute and the characteristic of these characteristics of objects, can create this description.The user can search for the object (trade mark, product, operation, file, incident or project) of any type.

When the user forget an object stores in the data hierarchy structure where the time, when the user knows where object stores thinks promptly to find it, perhaps when the user wanted to find a plurality of object that is not to be stored in together, search provided a kind of method.

The product of illustrative system database (" Whacky food " database) lining search how following example explanation quotes in the above.Though customer data base can comprise different information, the ability of this systematic search instrument can be described below.

Get back to Fig. 6, " product " button 90 of clicking 21 li of search boxes can show the described product search form 92 of Figure 20.This search form comprises allows the control of user definition user search: the criterion that is used to search for and be used for the mode of display of search results.

Search criteria 94 comprises one group of pop-up menu 96 and text box 98, utilizes them, and the user can specify the Properties of Objects that will seek.Just show pop-up menu 96 in the time of must from one group of valid option, selecting an option.Videotex frame 98 when importing any value.

Show that criterion 100 comprises one group of pop-up menu 102, utilize it, how the user can illustrate display of search results.The user can be according to various attributes according to the order that rises or descend to sort result, and user's display result in various manners, the object type decision of searching for according to the user.For example, can (little diagrammatic representation) shows as inventory (be similar to and browse the page data table) or as thumbnail with product.

When opening a search page, at 22 li interpolations of controller chassis " search " button 104, the Advanced button 106 and " removing " button 108.Click " search " button 104 is used the search criteria 94 of demonstration and is searched for.The criterion that click " removing " button 108 can be crossed all modifications replaces to their default value.Click the Advanced button 106 and can show " Advanced Search " page or leaf, in " Advanced Search " page or leaf, can define complicated more search criteria.In an embodiment, if shown the Advanced Search page or leaf, controller chassis button 106 can show " simply " rather than " senior ".

Search criteria is with an attribute (value that will check), an operational symbol (type of the comparison that will carry out) and a ultimate value (will check the value of attribute).If criterion is optional, so, the user just can select " (arbitrarily) " operational symbol.This makes whole criterion (all values that comprises the input limits value text box) all be left in the basket.

Search criteria 94 comprises " product " criterion 110, and it can search for the user according to name of product or production code member.As shown in figure 21, the user can be from first group 96 li selections " title " or " numbering ".Then, the user selects an operational symbol in second group, for example " (arbitrarily) ", "Yes" or " starting from ".At last, the user is in ultimate value of 98 li inputs of text box.Utilize these options, the user can define various types of product criterions, and for example, " name of product that comprises corn " perhaps " starts from 3 production code member ".

The search criteria 94 of Figure 20 also comprises " product parents " criterion 112, the parents' that the object that it allows the user provide to find out must have type.The effective parents' object type of type that preferably only shows the object of seeking for the user.As shown in figure 22, the user can select parents' object types (just trade mark or product) and attributes (just title or numbering) by the past two groups of popup menus 96.The user selects an operational symbol from the 3rd group of popup menu 96 then, for example " (arbitrarily) ", "Yes" or " starting from ".At last, the user is in ultimate value of 98 li inputs of text box.Utilize these options, the user can define various types of parents' criterions, for example, and " parents' trade (brand) name is Youbetcha " or " title of parents' product comprises fast food ".

The search criteria 94 of Figure 20 also comprises " market " criterion 114, and it makes the user to come prescribed product from should be included in particular market in the Search Results or that exclude from Search Results.As shown in figure 23, the user can select an operational symbol for 96 li from first group of pop-up menu, selects "Yes" that it is included, and perhaps " is not " that it is excluded.Then, the user selects a market, for example " (arbitrarily) ", " northwest ", " southwest " for 96 li from second group of pop-up menu.Utilize these options, the user can define various types of markets criterion, for example, and " market is the southeast ", perhaps " market is not the southeast ".

Get back to Figure 20, search criteria 94 also comprises " remarks text " criterion 116, and it makes the user to search for the product of specifying speech or phrase in their remarks.Get back to Figure 24, the user can select an operational symbol, for example " (arbitrarily) ", " starting from " or " comprising " from pop-up menu 96.Then, the text that will search in 98 li inputs of text box of user.Utilize these options, the user can define various types of remarks text criterions, for example, and " remarks text comprise revised " or " the remarks text is with last ... ending ".

The demonstration criterion 110 of Figure 20 comprises " a checking " criterion 120." check " criterion when determining to have found which object without any effect.But, when finishing this search, then determined how to show this Search Results for " checking " criterion 120 provides a value.As shown in figure 25, the user can be shown as Search Results in the simple inventory of object oriented from 96 li selections of pop-up menu " inventory ".In addition, the user can also be from 96 li selections of pop-up menu " thumbnail ", thereby can comprise this result's a pattern description.

Shrink single value if the user just at the search file object, is preferably in to add in " checking " criterion pop-up menu, the file that the user is found is used as a part of shrinking list and checks.

The demonstration criterion 110 of Figure 20 also comprises " by what an ordering " criterion 122.As shown in figure 26, first pop-up menu 96 of " by what ordering " criterion 122 makes the user can select this value, and the result sorts according to it, for example " production code member ", " name of product ", " manager " or " state ".The user can also select clooating sequence from second pop-up menu 96, or ascending, or descending order.Utilize these options, the user can be in various manners to sort result, for example, and " according to manager's ascending ordering " or " according to the descending order ordering of production code member ".

As shown in figure 27, the user can provide criterion, finds out to comprise " Mexico " this speech all products under " Youbetcha " trade mark, according to the lexicographic order return results of name.In order to accomplish this point, the user at first selects one " title " in 110 li dependency pop-up menus of " product " criterion, from 96 li selections of operational symbol pop-up menu " comprising ", keys in text box " Mexico ".Then,, select in user's dependency pop-up menu by " trade mark " and " title ", in the operational symbol pop-up menu, select " starting from ", in text box, key in " Youbetcha " 112 li of " product parents " criterions.Then, 122 li of " sorting according to what mode " criterions, the user selects " name of product " and " rising " from pop-up menu.

Should be pointed out that by in " market " lining and " remarks text " criterion, selecting " (arbitrarily) " operational symbol, instruction manual the product that will look for can be market arbitrarily, in their remarks, text arbitrarily can be arranged.

In case defined criterion, the user just clicks " search " button 104 of 22 li of controller chassises and searches for.The product that meets criterion, display of search results are then searched for by this system in database.Searching for the needed time depends on the amount of the information that stores in the complicacy of search criteria and the system database.Search Results is presented at 124 li of product search inventory pages or leaves, as shown in figure 28.If meet search criteria without any object, this one page just comprises the message first that any object is not found in explanation.Otherwise this one page has just comprised the object that finds.

If the object that finds is more than the object that can once show, just can check other record with displayed record pop-up menu 43.For example, if a user's criterion has 60 products that conform to, this one page just can show " in 60 records finding of demonstration the 1st to the 10th ".Utilize pop-up menu 43, the user can show 10 next one group products.

Tables of data 44 has been listed all objects that find.The title 47 on click data table hurdle will be according to this hurdle 46 to this list sorting.This field name claims the arrow 48 on next door to illustrate that it is according to ascending or the preface of arranging according to descending order.

In the product search inventory, the link of clicking 126 li on " name of product " hurdle can show the product details page or leaf of this product will be introduced here in further detail.In addition, click a link meeting demonstration manager's on 51 li on manager hurdle contact detail page or leaf.Also have, a link clicking 52 li on inventory hurdle can enter following one deck of trade mark hierarchy, shows the object below this product, and in situation shown in Figure 28, these objects are exactly operation.If the user is dissatisfied to Search Results, or the record that returns very little, or the record that returns is too many, the user can carry out new search by adjusting search criteria, will describe as next step.

In an embodiment, can reopen the product search page or leaf in Figure 27 by clicking " product " button 90 of 21 li of search boxes, revise previously defined search criteria with this.The product search page or leaf comprises the criterion that the user imports previously, because the search criteria for each object input preferably can be remembered at last by this system.Even a user has withdrawed from system and has logined again then, when this user reopens search page, the criterion that this system page meeting explicit user is imported previously.

Revising search criteria makes the user can dwindle hunting zone or expanded search scope.If the result that the search of user front is returned is too many, the user just can dwindle the hunting zone by adding more criterion: the user can provide market criterion or further appointed product title (for example Frozen Mexico).If the result that the search of user front is returned very little, the user just can not be so specifically to come the expanded search scope by deleting criterion or allowing existing criterion become: the user can delete product parents criterion.If wrong result has been returned in the search of user front, the user just can click reset button and remove criterion, starts anew.

An embodiment utilizing this systematic search instrument to seek object has been described above.Generally speaking, the user can want that the button in the search box of the sort of object (for example a project or an operation) sought begins search by clicking corresponding to the user.Therefore, search page is opened, and shows the criterion that is suitable for selected object type.In search page, user definition is used to distinguish the search criteria that the user wants the object found out.Criterion defines by regulation attribute, operational symbol and a ultimate value.If the user does not want to search for according to certain criterion, the user just can select " (arbitrarily) " operational symbol, and this criterion just is left in the basket.The user can also define the method that the demonstration criterion is controlled display result.In case defined criterion, the user just can click the search button in the controller chassis, searches for and display result.If the user wants to adjust the search of just having finished, the user just clicks identical search button again.Previously defined search criteria can be remembered by system.System also comprises an Advanced Search function, and this function comprises complicated more search criteria.

In an embodiment, can open Advanced Search by clicking " Advanced Search " button 106, wherein provided the search list 88 of Figure 29 and Figure 30, be used to provide thorough search to the trade mark data.By this senior trade mark search list 88, can search for all trade mark data, contact data, modification data and Show Options, find out the trade mark that meets the search criteria that the user provides.Similarly, senior job research table 93 (Figure 31,32,33 and 34) is used for searching for job information, operation code, contact details and modification information.

As previously mentioned, each system object---trade mark, product, operation, file, project and incident---can both check in the details page or leaf that this details page or leaf provides the information of this object deep layer.Yet because the information of each object stores is all inequality, the content of dissimilar object details pages or leaves is also inequality.Fetch demonstration details page or leaf by the chain of clicking the representative object title.It is unimportant through which type of path that the user arrives this link.In an embodiment, the user can show product details page or leaf in such a way: browse product inventory page or leaf, then the name of product of listing in the click data table; Launch the navigation outline, show needed product, click the title link of product then; Search for a certain product, click the title link of product in the search result list page or leaf then.

What Figure 35 showed is an embodiment of an operation details page or leaf 132, and it has provided the details of this object.The number of field, type and content are along with the type of the object of being checked is different and different in the details page or leaf.Preferably can click all values that shows as link and check more details.For example, in the operation details page or leaf that shows, the title of clicking the user can show he or she contact detail page or leaf; Click die (Die) link and can show a die details page or leaf.Click the [more of font name next door ... ] link can display font the expansion inventory.If the user obtains suitable security clearance, this user just can revise the content of field on the object details page or leaf.

When demonstrating the details page or leaf, button is added on the controller chassis 22, the operation that they can carry out at this object corresponding to the user.The button of the operation that can carry out and therefore demonstration is different and different with object type.

In case the user has checked the details page or leaf, the user just can utilize another floor of looking for the road device to jump to the data hierarchy structure to go, and a button of perhaps clicking on the controller chassis carries out new operation.

Obtain under the situation of suitable security clearance, the user can edit the field in the details page or leaf.In an embodiment, the controller chassis 22 of details page or leaf 132 can comprise the Edit button 133.On data frame 23, show in the assets, click the Edit button 133 and can make system in data frame 23, show an assets editor form 109, as shown in figure 36.109 li of this edit asset forms, can change asset number, assets title, Asset Type, Asset State and assets remarks.After having edited any or all asset datas, the user can click to preserve and revise hyperlink 118, and the information of revising is preserved.Though assets shown in Figure 36 are trade marks, should be understood that for any assets and can edit in this way with its relevant data.

The controller chassis of details page or leaf can also comprise an Asset Attributes hyperlink, is used to allow system show an attribute inventory screen 140, as shown in figure 37.Attribute inventory screen 140 makes the user create and to edit will follow the attribute that assets connect.As shown in figure 37, attribute inventory screen 140 comprises the information of relevant attribute, for example title of attribute and type.Attribute inventory screen 140 also provides attribute details hyperlink 142, one to add attribute hyperlink 144 and a delete property hyperlink 146.By clicking attribute details hyperlink 142, data form 23 becomes display properties details screen 148, as shown in figure 38.

Attribute details screen 148 display properties details for information about, for example: Property Name, attribute type and property value.The attribute details screen comprises that also an edit properties hyperlink 150, one add attribute characteristic hyperlink 152 and delete property characteristic hyperlink 154.By clicking edit properties hyperlink 150, data frame 23 is changed into edit properties screen 156, as shown in figure 39.Edit properties screen 156 information that provide about attribute, for example: the sequence of attributes that can edit in Property Name, attribute type and the attribute listed.This preserves by a Property Name field 158, sequence of attributes pull-down inventory 160 and one and revises hyperlink 162 and finish.In order to change Property Name and/or sequence of attributes, change Property Name field 158 and/or sequence of attributes pull-down inventory 160, and click this and preserve modification hyperlink 162.
