TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for utilizing historical event data that has been digitized, and in particular, by adding map information to a historical information database and designating the historical event information to designate an arbitrary place or period, thereby chronologically erasing the history of the area. Also, the present invention relates to a display system and a display method of historical event information with map information, which can be sequentially viewed and the history of other regions of the same period can be referred to.

[Prior art]
[Patent Document 1] JP-A-2000-99766
For large dictionaries such as Kojien and encyclopedias (encyclopedias), the work of digitizing data is progressing, and a system capable of searching and displaying electronic data has already been constructed. Because of the large number of events related to historical events, the use of electronic data is progressing. Also, a method of displaying electronic data has been devised. However, information on historical events often divides the earth into appropriate regions, such as the West and the East, and uses them as their respective histories. A typical example is the distinction between Japanese history and world history. The history of the local region and the history of individual towns and villages are also divided.
On the other hand, from a different point of view, the division of history, such as the history of junior high school and the history of high school, is also being made according to the progress of education. In accordance with the above-mentioned division method, it is necessary to provide educational materials in which the same historical event is made to match the progress and degree of each education by each educational program.
[0004]
Because historical events were divided into regions, it was often perceived that only those events occurred in that region in isolation, and their association with other historical events was often sparse and incomprehensible. This has caused a delay in understanding the whole history.
This is probably because Japan's history was isolated from the history of other worlds, so it was not always necessary to keep a close eye on its relation to the history of other worlds. In this respect, it is thought that there is a difference in how historical events are perceived in comparison with countries such as Europe, whose borders have changed drastically due to the war.
It is necessary to recognize that the history of Japan is also a part of the history of the world.
The fact that Himiko's Wei Zhi-Wen biography is in the same era as China's Three Kingdoms (We Wu Shu) era is the first thing we discover after studying the history of Japan and the world and comparing them. Perspective is indispensable in the future.
[0005]
The emergence of data that can grasp historical events in association with other historical events has been awaited. Attempts have been made to contrast the history of Japan with the history of the world, but work has been difficult and the world history has not always been added. Even at the time of World War II, the fact that the Russian Far East battle and the European front were not accurately grasped and educated.
Also, history is not absent in areas where historical events do not occur specifically. For example, it was difficult to create a regional history or personal history for an area where the history stopped.
[0006]
In view of the above drawbacks, there were some that put historical events on accurate map data, but they were not accurate and simply added localities, not detailed geographic information.
Conventional data generally indicates where an event has occurred by adding a region or country name. However, there was a gap with the current country name, and it was often not clear where it was. The territory of the Persian Empire, the original, the Ottoman and the Byzantine Empire has changed with age, so it is not exactly clear. Thus, the outline of the location of the historical event was known, but not accurate. Instead, all events resulted in the illusion of what happened in the capital city of Constantinople.
[0007]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, accurate map information consisting of the latitude and longitude of the earth is added to the history information database, and the history of the area is designated by specifying an arbitrary place or age. An object of the present invention is to provide a display system and a display method of historical event information with map information which can be sequentially viewed by age at which event information is designated.
[0008]
According to the present invention, there is provided a display system and a display method of historical event information with map information according to the present invention, in which electronic data relating to a historical event is edited by a computer and displayed on an output means. Input processing means for adding, by a computer terminal, computerized map information relating to the place where the event occurred to the electronic information relating to the historical historical event, and a computer transmitting the historical event information with the map information to the server. Accumulation means for accumulating, and accumulation processing means for the computer to select specific information designated from historical event information accumulated by age, and accumulate at the designated location indicated by the map information added, And output means for displaying the integrated information on a screen or the like by a designated output method.
The digitized map information has a configuration including the latitude and longitude of the earth.
[0009]
Further, a display method for adding map information to a historical event, a step of adding, to a computer terminal, map information consisting of digitized earth latitude and longitude related to the place where the event occurred, A step in which the computer stores the historical event information with the map information in the server; and a step in which the computer selects the specified specific information from the historical event information stored by age, and is designated by the added map information. And an output step of displaying the accumulated information on a screen or the like by a designated output method.
[0010]
The latitude and longitude of the earth are displayed on the vertical and horizontal axes of the computer output screen, respectively, and the three-dimensional space with the age as the depth of the computer output screen is displayed on the computer output screen.
[0011]
The display system and the display method of the historical event information with map information according to the present invention add the location where the event occurred to the electronic information relating to the historical event accurately as the map information in latitude and longitude. Is very accurate.
When a location to be selected is input to the computer, the computer selects and accumulates historical events including the location or the specified range from the stored data, and displays the history event on a screen or the like by a designated output method. In particular, since the screen display displays the longitude and latitude on the vertical and horizontal axes of the computer output screen and the three-dimensional space with the depth on the computer output screen, it is visually very clear and relevant. The order in which historical events occur and how far away they occur can be clearly understood.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a display system of historical event information with map information according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view of an output screen. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method for displaying historical event information with map information according to the present invention.
The historical event information display system with map information 10 according to the present invention includes an input adding unit 20, a storage unit 30, an integration processing unit 40, and an output unit 50. The output screen 55 has a horizontal axis X and a vertical axis Y. And a three-dimensional display of depth Z.
If the user's computer and server are not located in the same place, the above means are necessary.If the user accumulates data in his own computer and uses it in a stand-alone type, The means 30, the integrated processing means 40, and the output means 50 are of a type equipped in a local computer used by the user.
[00013]
The method 110 for displaying historical event information with map information includes an input adding step 120, an accumulation step 130, an accumulation processing step 140, and an output step 150. If the user's computer and the server do not exist in the same place, the accumulation step 130, the accumulation processing step 140, and the output step 150 are performed in the local computer.
[0014]
The historical event information display system 10 is a computer processing system that edits electronic data related to historical events by a computer and displays the processed data on an output unit. In the conventional electronic data, the historical events are displayed in chronological order or in chronological order according to the user's instruction. Recently, historical events in other areas have been added to historical events limited to a specific area as a reference, and measures have been devised to understand that those events have occurred simultaneously.
[0015]
The input adding unit 20 is a unit for inputting map information to the existing electronic data relating to the processable historical history event, and additionally inputs the electronic data from the terminal of the computer.
Here, the map information is information including the latitude and longitude of the earth, but may be a country name, a continent name, or a rough district name instead of the longitude and latitude. However, the country name and the like can be used as the map information of the present invention by supplementing the data by adding appropriate longitude and latitude at the same time. The country name used for the input may be the current country name (for example, Iran) or the past country name (Persia). It is also conceivable that the latitude and longitude given to the same country name will be changed due to the movement of the capital.
[0016]
In principle, if the latitude and longitude are used, the data will be data on the exact location where the historical event occurred. Therefore, events that can specify the location of occurrence will be displayed in the latitude and longitude of the earth. For events whose latitude and longitude are not clear, a specific area around the event is specified and added. For example, in Persia, it is possible to use the latitude and longitude of the central location of Isfahan as a rough guide and add it to all related historical events whose location is unknown.
In the case where a historical event has a locational movement, a plurality of pieces of map information can be added in addition to a single longitude and latitude.
[0017]
The storage means 30 is means for the computer to store historical event information with map information in the computer, and is stored as electronic data in a storage device of a server of the computer.
As described above, when the user's computer and the server do not exist in the same place, the storage means 30 uses a storage device provided in the user's computer. Similarly, each unit of the integration processing unit 40 and the output unit 50, which will be described later, is of a type provided in a local computer used by the user.
[0018]
The accumulation processing means 40 is means for the computer to search and collect the specified data. According to the searcher's instruction, the computer retrieves and selects the specified information from the historical event information accumulated by age. Further, the information is accumulated in the output mode at the display locations specified by the map information added to the selected historical event.
[0019]
The output unit 50 is a display unit for displaying the integrated selection information, and displays the information on a CRT screen or a liquid crystal screen of a computer according to a designated output method.
Although the output screen 55 may be a two-dimensional screen, the present invention employs a three-dimensional display of the horizontal axis X, the vertical axis Y, and the depth Z so that the historical event can be visually clearly understood. are doing.
According to the present invention, for example, it can be clearly understood what kind of situation was in Europe at the time of the Genkaku in the Kamakura period. In addition, they can understand the former situation of conquest of control in Central Asia and the strategic position of Korea.In addition to the one-sided understanding of Japanese history of the battle between the Kamakura Shogunate and the former, the former invaders from a global perspective Understand the significance of
This can be used simply to confirm each time what kind of political system and culture China was in during the Heian period.
[0020]
Next, the display method 110 of the historical event information with map information includes an input adding step 120, an accumulation step 130, an accumulation processing step 140, and an output step 150, and the history information with the added map information is stored in a computer. The information is stored in the storage device, and the computer performs a search accumulation process in accordance with the search instruction, and outputs the data by an appropriate output method in accordance with the instruction.
[0021]
The input adding step 120 is a step of adding digitized map information on a place where the event has occurred to electronic information on a historical event, and is input by a computer terminal.
[0022]
The accumulation step 130 is a step in which the computer accumulates historical event information with map information in the computer, and causes the server, which is a storage device of the computer, to store it as electronic data.
As described above, when the user's computer and the server are not located at the same place, the accumulation step 130 is a step of storing the information in a storage device provided in the user's computer, and the accumulation processing step 140 described later is performed. Each step of the output step 150 is also processed and installed in a local computer used by the user.
[0023]
The accumulation processing step 140 is an accumulation processing in which the computer retrieves specific information from the historical event information accumulated by age according to the instruction and outputs the information to the display location designated by the added map information. This is the step of doing.
[0024]
The output step 150 is an output step in which the integrated information is displayed on a screen or the like by a designated output method.
The output method may be a two-dimensional screen such as a planar chronological table, or a three-dimensional screen configuration to which a more three-dimensional feeling is added.
Therefore, in the present invention, a three-dimensional space in which the latitude and longitude of the earth are respectively represented on the vertical axis and the horizontal axis of the computer output screen, and the age is defined as the depth of the computer output screen, is configured such that the computer instructs the output screen as instructed. indicate.
[0025]
The historical events that can be processed by the present invention are, of course, the organization of old historical events, but modern or modern history can be easily organized with map information.
For example, it is possible to gain a better understanding of the battle situation of World War II, the end of Europe at the end of the war, the relationship between Soviet participation and the defeat of Japan, etc., while overlooking world events.
Further, a detailed description using a still image can be added to each historical event. It is also possible to attach or add attractive visual information and explanations using moving images.
[0026]
Furthermore, even modern history can be applied more microscopically to personal history. If you enter the personal history from the birth of an individual to the adult to the present day in modern history, you will be able to obtain the history of the contemporary world. In addition, since the personal history is input with the latitude and longitude, all the trajectories of the movement from the birth of the individual can be clarified. Furthermore, it is also possible to create surrounding historical events in which individuals have lived in parallel with personal history.
[0027]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, the display system and the display method of the historical event information with map information according to the present invention have the above-described configuration, and thus have the following effects.
1. Since map information is added to historical events and is in a searchable state, it can be taken out and used at any time as educational materials according to the degree of education. Since the computer automatically edits the electronic data relating to the history information in accordance with the instruction, the history of the necessary area in the necessary era can be easily obtained without fail, simply and inexpensively. Further, it is possible to obtain not only a hard copy but also visual data using an output screen of a computer as output means.
2. Since the map information is composed of latitude and longitude, it is accurate, and it is possible to magnify and display a slight difference even if it is microscopically magnified and extracted.
