Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system in which a plurality of people work together on a work through a communication network.
And a system for selling the copyrighted work.

[0002]

Conventionally, a work is usually written by one author. This one-person work is appropriate for expressing the thoughts of a particular individual or writing novels and other creations, and there is no other way. However, in the case of works that are slightly different from personal thoughts and feelings, such as the expression and commentary of facts, it is not always necessary to express them alone. Rather, the collective knowledge and experience of multiple individuals is likely to make a good work.

However, conventionally, communication means have not been developed as much as today, so when co-authoring, it is necessary to use, for example, postal mail. To make corrections, additions, etc., which took a great deal of time.

[0004] Looking at "postscripts" and "acknowledgments" of commercially published books, one often finds the following description. First description 1 since I started writing this book
Year 0 has passed. Second description Five years after the first draft was removed, it has become much easier to read since I rewrote it with the editor. Third description We had various people read it, point out misunderstandings, and point out things that were difficult to understand. These statements suggest that the writing process consists of three steps: Stage 1 Concept of work contents Stage 2 Description of contents Stage 3 Easy-to-understand expressions

[0005] What has been described here indicates a problem with the current work. First, what the first description indicates includes two problems. One is that he was inspired but was too busy to write and could not proceed to the second stage. As with the patents, which are technical ideas, there is one meaning in the early publication of the way of thinking about things, and the inability to write it loses the significance of the early publication.
The other case is that the user went to the second stage and started writing, but did not complete it. Again,
If it is not released, it is a social loss. Even if it is unfinished, it will be more socially significant if it is open to the public, exposed to the public, and criticized. These problems can be solved with the help of others before publication.

The second statement indicates that much effort has been put into understanding the reader. Because the author is knowledgeable and understands the content, he does not know where the reader does not understand.
Therefore, it is necessary to check the work from the reader's point of view, and the editor plays the role of that check. With regard to ensuring the intelligibility, early publication and improvement in intelligibility can be achieved at the same time by obtaining the support of others before and after publication.
In this case, the idea of the contents of the work and the description of the contents are not made by the original author, and support is provided in an easy-to-understand expression.

[0007] The third description indicates that an acquaintance with much knowledge has been checked before publication. In this case, the accuracy of the description of the content and the excess and deficiency are being examined. However, in the check by acquaintance,
Often not enough. The original purpose of the original author can be achieved as soon as possible if the support of the intellectuals unknown to the authors, especially those of experienced scholars who are keen to improve the writing level of young people, can be obtained.

[0008] In any case, until now, the work of the author is a lonely business of the author, and the support of the work has been limited to a limited number of people around him. Has not been realized.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a first object of the present invention is to realize a system in which an author can review his or her own work from the general public. And to provide a system for selling completed works with the support.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a system member transmits an initial document indicating the contents of a work from a terminal to a processing unit via a communication network, and the processing unit receives the original document. A copyright number is assigned to the original document of the work, and a work participant who desires to participate in the work among the system members is sent from the terminal to the processing means via the communication network, to the processing means. A number and a sentence for producing the work indicated by the original document, a translated sentence of the original document, or a presentation sentence such as an additional sentence or a correction sentence to the original sentence are transmitted, and the processing means transmits the presentation sentence. The copyrighted work system for a copyrighted work is characterized in that when it is determined that the determination to permit the adoption has been made, the complement is adopted to complete the copyrighted work.

[0011] According to this means, a plurality of persons submit a presentation such as addition or correction to the original document of the copyrighted work by the communication network, and judge whether or not the proposal can be adopted, and determine whether or not the proposed document can be adopted. Since the work to be reflected is reflected and the work is led to completion, a highly objective and easy-to-understand work can be completed and published early.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the copyright participant sends a proposal reason document in which the reason for the proposal is described, together with the presentation, more information is needed for a person who decides whether or not to use the proposal. In addition, since the reason is clear, the determination can be made easily and accurately.

According to the third aspect of the invention, since the initial document is an initial document written by the original creator of the work, the participant examines the work based on the substantially completed initial document. It is possible to add a sentence or correct a sentence. Many authors are good at expressing their contents, but are generally not good at expressing them in an easily understandable manner. Because the author is an expert and already understands, but the reader is not an expert,
I can't figure out why I don't understand. That is, the expert is not in the reader's perspective. It is intended to contribute to the creation of expressions that are easy to understand from the reader's point of view.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the permission of adoption of the presentation is determined by the original creator of the work, so that the author can proceed with the work based on the author's copyright policy and value judgment criteria. You can go and have consistent work content.

According to the invention of claim 5, when any of the members can become a copyright participant, the determination of permission to adopt the presentation is determined.
Since the permission of the original creator and the participant is more than a predetermined ratio, a literary work can be created in accordance with the objective value judgment of many people. Suitable for encyclopedias and works of record of certain facts.

In the invention of claim 6, if only the members selected from the members can be the work participants, the permission to adopt the presentation is determined by all of the original creator and the work participants of the work. Because the selected person with sufficient knowledge and ability will participate in the work, the author can expect a high-quality work, and the contents of the work will be considered until the consent of all members is reached. Is reflected, and it is possible to provide objectivity. Suitable for writing in the scientific field.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the initial document of the work to be transmitted to the processing means is a requirement for the content of the work to be completed, and a decision is made to permit the use of the presentation sentence in response to the requirement. Is characterized in that it is performed by one predetermined judge. According to this means, it is suitable when the editor of the work presents the editing policy and solicits a work in accordance with the editing policy from another person. In this case, the editor has the intention to create the work, and the editor simply displays a document indicating the contents of the work to be edited, such as a table of contents of the publication. The original document is transmitted as the initial document. The editor decides whether or not to use the proposed sentence, so the author can expect a copyrighted work of the content planned by the editor, and the editor determines whether or not to accept the proposed sentence from the viewpoint of the reader's representative. You can expect a reader-centered work according to the level of.

The invention according to claim 8 is that the original document of the work to be transmitted to the processing means is a document written in a foreign language, the participant is a participant in the translation, and the presentation is a translation of the foreign language document. This is a sentence or a sentence such as an addition or correction to the translated sentence, and the judgment to permit the adoption of the sentence is made by one predetermined judge.

According to this means, a book written in a foreign language can be translated by a plurality of translators, and one person can decide whether or not to use the translated sentence, for example, one person who has selected a foreign language book. Therefore, the content can be unified according to the reason for selecting a foreign language book.

According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, the original document of the work to be transmitted to the processing means is a translated document of a document written in a foreign language, and adoption of a presentation sentence such as an additional sentence or a modified sentence to the translated sentence. The determination of the permission is performed by one predetermined determiner. This method is suitable for a case where a translated document obtained by automatically translating a foreign language document by a computer is easily read and corrected. Since the general meaning of a foreign document is achieved by automatic translation, the main part of the presentation is translation that can only be realized by humans, such as the unique values and emotional subtleties of the authors. Since the acceptance of the presentation is judged by one person, for example, the person who selected the foreign language book is determined by one person.
The content can be unified according to the reasons for selecting foreign language books.

[0021] In the invention of claim 10, the terminal of the judge is:
The text before modification and the modified text in the range specified by the participant are clearly displayed with the difference between the two texts, so that it can be easily determined whether or not the revised document is adopted. Since the input for indicating the intention of permitting or rejecting the correction can be made, the input of the judgment result is easy.

According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, the sentence before and after the additional portion designated by the participant and the additional sentence are displayed on the terminal of the judge, so that it is easy to judge whether or not to adopt the corrected document. In addition, since the terminal can be input from the terminal to indicate the intention of permitting or rejecting the correction, the input of the determination result is easy.

According to the twelfth aspect of the invention, when the original document of the work is a document written in a foreign language or a translated document of a document written in a foreign language, the foreign language document is displayed on the terminal of the judge. Since the sentence and the sentence are displayed together, the sentence in the foreign language and its translation can be listed, and efficient and accurate judgment can be made.

According to the thirteenth aspect, the processing means comprises:
Store the input of permission or rejection of adoption of the presentation sentence, and count the acceptance or rejection within a predetermined time limit from the date of proposal of the presentation sentence, and when there is permission at a predetermined ratio or more, the presentation sentence is Since it is determined that the adoption has been determined, the adoption / non-adoption of the presentation sentence can be automatically totaled and the adoption / non-admission determination can be made, and prompt response can be made.

According to the fourteenth aspect, the processing means includes:
It memorizes the input of permission or rejection of adoption of the presentation, and when all of the judge approve the approval or disapproval within a predetermined period from the date of the proposal, it is determined that the decision to adopt the presentation has been made Therefore, similarly, the adoption / non-adoption of the presentation sentence can be automatically counted to determine the adoption / non-adoption.

According to the fifteenth aspect, the processing means includes:
Judgment of permission to adopt or deny the presentation sentence is determined, and if the judge who has the authority to make the dogmatic decision inputs the permission to adopt the presentation sentence, the approval of the presentation sentence is adopted. Since it is determined that the determination has been made, the determination result can be easily reflected in the original document, and prompt response is possible.

According to the sixteenth aspect, the processing means includes:
When it is determined that the adoption of the presentation sentence is permitted, the fact is notified by e-mail to the participant who created the presentation sentence.

According to the seventeenth aspect, the processing means includes:
When it is determined that the adoption of the presentation sentence is to be rejected, the fact is notified by e-mail to the participant who created the presentation sentence.

According to the invention of claims 18, 19, and 20,
Invites anyone who is initially interested and knowledgeable in the area related to the document and who is willing to work,
Many participants can be expected.

According to the twenty-first aspect of the present invention, when a member designates a preset classification number of a work and a member number of a participant and transmits an original document to the processing means, the member is designated. An e-mail is sent to the participant to notify that the new document has been newly registered, so that the original author can call on only those who have anticipated the ability and insights to participate in the work. Work can be created.

According to the twenty-second aspect of the present invention, there is provided processing means for accumulating the work completed by the work system in the database means as publishing data. Can make a search from a terminal connected to the communication network, and can accept a purchase order, and when the processing means accepts the purchase of a copyrighted work, prints and binds the copyrighted work by the production means and sends it to the purchaser. Because it is delivered, it can be published without burdening authors, participants, and judges.

[0032]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. [Overall Configuration] FIG. 1 shows a computer network system for realizing a work publishing / publishing system according to the present invention. The authoring and publishing system of a work is, in principle,
The work is completed by multiple people based on the original document showing the contents of the work presented by the member, and the completed work is published.Presentation of the original document showing the contents of the work, presentation to the original document The submission of a sentence, an indication of whether or not to adopt the presentation, an application for the purchase of a completed work, and the like are all performed through a communication network, for example, the Internet 1.

The author / publishing system uses the Internet 1
A publishing server 2 of a printing company and a publishing server 3 of a publishing company are connected to the Internet 1. Processing means for performing the following. Furthermore, the Internet 1 has a number of member terminals 4 owned by members of the production and sales system of the publication.
Is connected. Members are subscribed members who are general members,
It is divided into a work member who can present a work and a work member who can recruit works as an editor. In principle, any member who is a subscriber can become a writer as desired and submit a presentation to the original document of the work. In addition, if it is a subscription member, it can become an editing member if desired.

The publishing server 2 has a database 5,
The database 5 stores the original document of the work sent from the author, the completed work (publication), and the like. The work server 3 includes a database 6, and stores a presentation sent to the original document of the work transmitted from the publishing server 2 in the database 6. The content of the presented sentence is presented to the judge, and if the adoption of the presented sentence is permitted by the will of the judge, the work is changed by the presented sentence. And if it is determined that the copyrighted work is completed as a result of one or more changes,
The work server 3 sends the completed work data to the publishing server 2 via the Internet 1. Note that the publishing server 2 and the copyright server 3 may be configured by one computer system.

The publishing server 2 stores the work sent from the work server 3 in the database 5 as publication data. Then, upon receiving the application for the purchase of the literary work, the publishing server 2 sends the publishing data to the publishing apparatus 7 of the printer to print and bind. In addition, when the author or the subscriber who purchased the publication desires supplementation such as addition or correction to the content (text) of the publication, the publishing server 2 adds a presentation sentence for the supplementation to the database 2 when the author wants to supplement or modify the content (text) of the publication. The database 5 is stored, and when the adoption of the presentation is permitted,
The publication data before and after the complement are stored. In this case, the database 5 is provided with a change history recording unit, and when supplementation such as addition or modification is performed on the copyrighted work data, the name of the creator of the presentation sentence is stored in the change history storage unit. The date when the employment was approved is recorded.

The terminal 4 is constituted by a personal computer system. This personal computer system is shown in FIG. The computer system includes a CPU 9, a storage device 10, and an input / output device 11 interconnected by a bus 8, and the storage device 10 stores software, data, and the like. The input / output device 11 includes the Internet 1, a keyboard 12 and a mouse 13 as operation means,
A display 14, a printer 15 and the like are connected as display means.

Next, a system for publishing and publishing a literary work having the above configuration will be specifically described. [Member Registration] In order to present, supplement, and purchase the above-mentioned literary works, it is necessary to become a member of a publishing / publishing system sponsored by the publisher. The process for becoming a member will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In order to register as a member, first, the terminal is operated to access the home page of the publishing server 2 through the Internet 1. Then, the entrance screen shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display 14 of the terminal (steps S1, S2).

When "member registration" is selected on this entrance screen (step S3), a member registration screen shown in FIG. 5 is displayed (step S4). On this member registration screen, necessary data about the member such as address and name, e-mail address when sending various information by e-mail, credit card member number, password, age, gender, religion religion, nationality and use A language and the like are input (step S5).

Next, the type of member whose registration is desired is selected (step S6). As described above, there are three types of members: writing, editing, and subscribing. When registering for the first time, a subscribing member is selected. If you have already become a member, select the desired member type from the writing member and the editing member. The reason why the credit card number is required to be entered is that one member number is assigned to the same person without distinguishing between members such as editors, authors and purchasers. is there.

Then, enter the type of the member and click "Send".
Is selected, the input data is transmitted to the publishing server 2 via the network 1 (step S7). After checking the data, the publishing server 2 generates a member number (step S8) and records the applicant for registration as a member in the member registration section of the database 5 (step S8).
9) The member number is displayed on the display 14 of the terminals 4 to 6 (step S10), and the member registration process ends.

The editorial member needs a certain ability because he must complete the work by his own project. To judge whether or not they have the ability, they are required to separately submit proof of their ability, such as working for a publisher, being a professor at a university, authoring a dissertation or book, etc. It is preferable to determine whether or not to permit registration as an editorial member by making a judgment.

[Registration of Copyright Participation Object] A person who has become a copyright member registers an object to be participated in advance. In order to register this work participation target, first, the user operates the terminal 4 to access the home page of the publishing server 2 through the Internet 1. Then, the above-described entrance screen shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display 14 of the terminal, and the user selects “Registration for participation in work” on this entrance screen.

Then, the screen shown in FIG. On this screen, a member number and a password are input as member identification information. Publishing server 2
Checks the member number and password sent from the member terminal 4 against the database 5, and if registered in the database 5, transmits the name of the member to the member terminal 4 and displays it on the display 14.

Next, a registration method is selected from designation of a work classification, designation of a related word, and designation of a related work. The work classification designation is a method of designating an object to participate in a work by a work classification number.
As shown in FIG. 6, a designation column for the work classification is displayed. First, enter the work major classification number, and then enter the work minor classification number, and select "Send". The classification is registered in the member registration section of the database 5 by the publishing server 2.

Specifying a related word refers to a method of searching for an object by assigning different weights to a plurality of words selected as related words. In other words, a member who wishes to participate in a work does not search for an object by treating words considered to be important and words that are not important as the same, but conducts a search with a high weight for words that are important It is. When "Specify Related Words" is selected in FIG. 6, the screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display 14, so that a plurality of (for example, five) words are input, and a numerical value indicating the weight is input for the words. When "Send" is selected, the word and the weight for searching for the object whose participation is desired to be written are registered in the member registration section of the database 5 by the publishing server 2.

The designation of a related work is a system in which, when the number of a work already completed (recorded in the database 5) is specified, a work related to the designated work is searched for and participated in the work. When "Related work designation" is selected in FIG. 6, the screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display 14, and the work number is input. Up to five work numbers can be entered, but only one may be entered. After inputting the work number, selecting "Send" will cause the publication server 2 to register the work number in the database 5.

[Transmission of Original Document] (Transmission of Original Document by Author) Next, the flow of processing when the author himself transmits a document (initial document) to the publishing server 2 will be described with reference to FIG. Will be explained. The author operates the author terminal 4 to access the home page of the publishing server 2 through the Internet 1. Then, the above-described entrance screen of FIG. 4 is displayed on the display 14 of the author terminal 4 (steps SA1, 2).

When "transmission of original document of copyrighted work" is selected on the entrance screen, a transmission screen of the original document is displayed on display 14. This screen is shown in FIG. On this screen, a member number and a password are first input as identification information (step A3). The publishing server 2 checks the member number and password sent from the author terminal 4 against the database 5, and if they do not match ("NO" in step A4), an error is displayed (step A).
5). If the member number and the password match ("YES" in step A4), the publishing server 2 transmits the name of the member corresponding to the member number to the author terminal 4, and displays it on the display 14 (step A6).

Next, the name of the work (original document) to be transmitted, the directory where the file of the original document data exists, and the classification of the work are input (steps A7 and A8), and the participation in the work is entered. A method is selected (step SA9). In this work participation method, the members who participate in the work and who decides whether to adopt the presentation sentence from the work participation member are set. There is a majority decision method and a private agreement method.

The open author-led system is a system in which any member of the work can participate in the work, and the author alone decides whether or not to adopt a presentation. The closed author-led system is a system in which a specific member selected from among the writing members participates in the writing and determines whether or not to adopt a presentation by the author alone.

The public majority method is a method in which any copyright member can participate in a work, and whether to adopt a presentation is determined by a majority decision between the author and the member who participated in the work. In this case, the majority decision ratio can be set in advance, and when the ratio is set to 50%, the adoption of the presentation is permitted with the approval of 50% or more of the number of members who have participated in the work including the author, and the ratio is set. If it is set to 70%, adoption of the presentation is permitted with the approval of 70% or more of the number of members who participated in the work including the author. The non-disclosure agreement system is a system in which a specific member selected from the members participates in the work, and whether or not to adopt the supplement is determined by the agreement of all the members participating in the work including the author.

Now, for example, when selecting the public author led system, the "public author led system" is displayed on the screen shown in FIG.
After selecting, operate "Send". When the secret author-led system is selected, as shown in FIG. 11, a field for designating a participant is displayed on the display 14, and the number of the member who is to participate in the work is input there. Operate.

As described above, when the copyright method is selected and "Send" is operated (step A10), the input copyright name, the original document file, the copyright classification, the copyright method, etc. are transmitted from the author terminal 4. Sent to publishing server 2. The publishing server 2 stores the transmitted original document data, the work participation method, and the like in the initial document registration unit of the database 7 (step A11), assigns a work number to the stored original document, and assigns the work number to the work. It is transmitted to the author terminal 4 and displayed on the display 14 (step A12).

Next, the publishing server 2 analyzes the transmitted original document (step A13), creates a search index file shown in FIG. 12, and stores it in the database 5 (step A14). This search index file is defined by the name of the work (original document) and the work number, and counts the number of appearances of each word contained in the original document data. In addition to recording the frequency of appearance, it also records whether each word is initially described in the index column of the document (words in the index are indicated by "1").

Next, the publishing server 2 refers to the work participation method and notifies the member according to the work participation method by e-mail that the document data has been newly registered (step A15). FIG. 13 shows the processing contents of the e-mail transmission. That is, the publishing server 2 first determines whether or not the author has selected the publication method as the copyright method (step B1). In the case where the closed author-led method or the closed agreement method has been selected, the publishing server 2
In step B1, it is determined "NO", and the process proceeds to step B2, where an e-mail is transmitted to the member designated by the author as a participant.

If the author has selected the public author led system or the public consensus system, the publishing server 2 proceeds to step B1
Is determined to be "YES", and an e-mail is transmitted to the member who has registered the work participation target by the work classification in step B3.
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, first, the registered classes are read one by one from the copyright participation target class registering section of the database 5, and the read registered classes are compared with the registered classes of the original document and are identical. In this case, an operation of sending an e-mail to the person is performed for all registered persons.

Next, the publishing server 2 proceeds to step B4, where the publishing server 2 sends an e-mail to the member who has registered the work participation target in a related word, and registers the work participation target in a related word in step B5. Send email to existing members. To send an email to members who have registered in related terms,
As shown in FIG. 15, the related words and their weights are read out one by one from the related word registration section of the work participation in the database 5, and registered in the search document index file of the original document using the read related words and weights. The degree of relevance with the given word is calculated by a predetermined formula, and an operation of transmitting an e-mail to members whose calculated value is equal to or more than a predetermined value is performed for all registered members.

Thereafter, the publishing server 2 proceeds to step B5, and transmits an e-mail to the member who has registered the work participation target as a related work. To send an e-mail to a member registered as a related work, as shown in FIG. 16, the number of related works is read one by one from the related work registration section of the work participation in the database 5, and the read work is read. By comparing the words in the index file for search of the original document of the article number with the words in the index file for search of the newly registered original document,
Calculates the degree of relevancy between the specified related work and the newly registered original document from the appearance frequency of the matching word using a predetermined formula, and sends an e-mail to members whose calculated value is equal to or higher than the predetermined value Is performed for all registered persons.

After transmitting the guide mail to the member who wants to participate in the work as described above, the publishing server 2 proceeds to step A16, creates a home page for the transmitted original document, and Make it visible.

[Presentation regarding Modification of Original Document and Judgment of Acceptance / Rejection] (Public Author Initiative Method) First, determination of acceptance / rejection of a presentation sentence by the open author initiative method will be described with reference to FIG. When the registration of the original document of the work in the database 5 is transmitted to the applicant for the copyright by e-mail, the publishing server 2 transmits the original document to the copyright server 3, and the copyright server 3 stores the transmitted original document in the database. 6 (step F1). The author server 3 is provided for each publisher, but which publisher is selected may be determined by the author or the printer. Thereafter, the publishing server 2 sends an e-mail to the author terminal 4 that any member who wants to participate in the work can read the document from the work server 3 (step F2).

The applicant for a work operates the terminal 4 to input a member number, a password, and a work number of the original document to the copyright server 3, read the original document from the copyright server 3, and display the original document on the display 14. To consider.
Then, a presentation sentence such as correction or addition is created, and a place for performing a correction or addition is specified together with the presentation sentence and transmitted to the copyright server 3 (step F3). The copyright server 3 stores the contents of the complement in the complement recording unit of the database 6.

When the presentation sentence is received, the author server 3 notifies the author terminal 4 of the fact by e-mail. In this case, if the complement is a correction of a sentence, the contents before the correction and the contents after the correction are simultaneously displayed adjacent to each other on the display 14 of the author terminal 4, as shown in FIG. The contents of the correction are easy to understand. When the supplement is addition of a sentence, as shown in FIG. 19, the display 14 of the author terminal 4 displays a sentence to be added, a sentence before the sentence to be added next to the added sentence, and a sentence after. A certain sentence is displayed up and down so that the context of the additional sentence can be understood well.

Then, the author who looks at the contents of the presented sentence decides whether or not to adopt the presented sentence, and when the permission is granted, the user agrees with "Agree".
, And if rejected, select "No" and send.
The copyright server 3 permits the determination (“Y” in step F5).
In the case of "ES"), an e-mail to the effect that the presentation sentence has been adopted is transmitted to the terminal 4 of the participant (step F6), and the original document is revised to the content supplemented by the presentation sentence (step 7). Thereafter, the copyright server 3 determines whether or not the original document is completed (step F8). When the document is not completed ("NO" in step F8), the process returns to step F3 to keep the state in which the complement is received.

Judgment of completion is based on the topic that the term is used correctly, the logic of text development, clarity, fun, the amount of text suitable for the book, and the content match the editing policy and purpose. Judgment is made based on the feeling that there is unity.

If the determination by the author is rejected ("NO" in step F5), a message to that effect and the reason thereof are sent to the terminal of the author as an e-mail (step F9).
Returning to step F3, the state where the presentation sentence is received is maintained. When the determination is rejected, the opposite reason of the author may be notified to the author by e-mail.

Then, after several times of complementation, if the author determines that it is completed (“YE” in step F8)
S "), the copyright server 2 transfers the completed original document to the publishing server 2. The publishing server 2 stores the transferred original document as publishing data in the publishing data recording unit of the database 5 (step F10).

(Non-Public Author Initiative Method) This method is different from the above-mentioned open author initiative method in that the target of notifying that the original document can be viewed from the work server 3 by e-mail is limited to members designated by the author.
