Description

  The present invention relates to a method for constructing an interactive digital catalog, and more particularly, to a computer-readable storage medium to which the method is applied, and an interactive digital catalog.

  The basic purpose of the catalog is to organize a collection of products, services or data of interest in a standardized format and provide it to individuals or organizations as clear and summarized information that is printed on paper. Or is displayed on a screen or a personal computer monitor. A catalog usually displays a structured list, title, course contents, items, and the like for each item, and includes information explanations and explanation images related to the listed items, and is used for exhibitions and sales. Common conventional catalogs include mail order catalogs, retail catalogs, discount catalogs, supplier catalogs, service catalogs, announcements, flyers, posters and the like. In more modern catalogs, product information extends from a single data area to hundreds of pages of content, and the main item is directly or in any form appealing to the subconscious through television, commercial broadcasts, etc. New features and sale information to consumers, increasing the number of buyers.

  Second, because retailers and vendors spend a lot of money designing, producing, publishing, and publishing to transmit information, the cost of producing printed ads is very high, thus cataloging consumers, Brochures, magazines, flyers, billboards, etc. are provided. In addition to the costs introduced by the retailers and vendors described above, transportation costs for delivery to the consumers are further increased, causing a conflict between the retailers and vendors and the consumers.

  With the advent of the Internet, new information media have been created and digitalized catalogs have been provided. For example, there are banners, advertisement mails, search engines, electronic handbooks, electronic catalogs, online publications, and the like. Catalogs can also be viewed as information services and, for media publishers, include magazines and books. Other examples of catalogs further include entertainment items such as movies, television programs, documentaries, music, radio programs and the like. The main objectives of the above mentioned entertainment products and catalogs are consistent, ie key data of related products, services or information is structured in a structured manner together, so that users can obtain business transactions and necessary information We are using.

  Today, modern people use or browse some form of catalog every day, which is because people's thoughts are unconsciously and constantly cataloging things. With the development of the Internet, catalogs have changed from print media to digital media, enabling users to access catalogs anytime and anywhere over the Internet. It is also more efficient to edit product and service catalogs over the Internet. In other words, using the Internet allows for personal commerce between vendors or providers and users in an interactive way, so compared to general transactions with traditional retail stores, The time and effort required for selection and purchase is clearly reduced. The combination of the Internet and digital publishing has accelerated policy decision-making, and unpredictable dynamic changes in consumer purchasing patterns and customs. This has led to the combination of the Internet and digital publishing in the industrial supply chain. The impact is prominent.

  Digital publishing is accomplished via websites and email. Currently, in e-commerce, sale catalogs are very popular, and many retailers have achieved tangible results using the Internet. In other words, catalog editing methods are now greatly expanded with the development of computer technology, and online catalogs play an extremely important role in electronic commerce.

  There is also a large amount of information available on the website, which exceeds the consumer's load capacity and reflects problems inherent in information transmission. In addition, the conventional technology has limitations, and users cannot efficiently obtain a large amount of useful information from a website. For this reason, in order to realize an efficient catalog, it is necessary to restrict transmission to only a suitable user or a specific user (that is, a user who is interested in information on products and services). In addition, so-called efficient catalogs have personalized interaction functions, are simple, customized, and effectively meet the diverse demands of users. Therefore, it is extremely important to match the printed information with the catalog format, arrange the catalog at an appropriate location via the network service, and use it appropriately.

  The contents of most catalogs include common attributes such as products, materials, or services, and are suitable for high-speed search, but it cannot be guaranteed that they match the search purpose. Also, there are strict limits on product differences, and it was difficult to explain why vendors recommended the product. Furthermore, the catalog data is homogenized and databased and adapted to a limited catalog format. Therefore, there is a need for a highly dynamic, personalized, user-oriented catalog system that breaks out of outdated restrictions. In this way, the characteristics of the product are displayed efficiently, and it is adapted to the hobbies and lifestyles of various users.

  Secondly, conventional search engines are not powerful enough to efficiently search for miscellaneous information from various information sources scattered throughout the network. Therefore, if it is possible to efficiently search and classify scattered information and provide an automated solution with high extensibility, an electronic digital catalog having a plurality of data obtained from various information sources is created. Very useful for.

  In addition, paper publications and broadcast media are still prosperous, but more and more consumers are using their own computers to watch news, magazines, television, etc. over the Internet. The Internet has also dramatically improved the efficiency of information transmission compared to traditional distribution methods, dramatically changing the publishing industry. However, much online information is not efficiently packaged in a centralized manner, and the information format and classification are uncertain. For this reason, it has been important for users to be able to search and obtain information necessary for them by a consistent and convenient method.

  Web services are interoperable web-based software services that users can use for a fee or free of charge. Interoperability means that users can access other web services through web services. Web services combine multiple application programs or system structures on all platforms to provide a comprehensive service to consumers and users.

  If the catalog contains a wide variety of options, it takes time for the user to browse the entire catalog. Whatever the information format of the conventional catalog, it is not used to the maximum extent at present. In addition, since catalogs are a large amount of free-floating information, if they are acquired and used correctly, smarter and more flexible commerce between vendors and consumers becomes possible.

  Traditional e-book companies, such as Kotobee publishers, provide authoring software that allows users to create multi-platform interactive e-books with many useful tools, and the e-books created can be created on multiple platforms. To work on. The created electronic book is output as a native application program of an Android system or an iOS system, or converted into a web application program or a desktop application program. Further, the contents of the electronic book are programmed in a scratch language or imported from a PDF file. As e-book content increases, users are equipped with versatile tools, making e-book application programs a true research tool. For example, a user can visually take notes and save them in a database when reading. However, since these electronic books are formatted in the format required by the Android system or the iOS system, it is still desirable for these electronic books to meet different system requirements across platforms.

  The Scratch Interactive Program is a multimedia authoring tool that allows students, scholars, teachers, parents, etc. to use animated interactive recording programs for educational and entertainment constructivist purposes related to mathematics and science. Open, simulation and visualization of experiments, sociology animation production, interactive art and music production. You can also create a simple game using the scratch interactive program. You can also see existing projects on the scratch website, and users can modify and test projects without registration. In addition, Scratch allows the user to use event-driven programming with multiple active objects. These active objects are created as images in vector format or bitmap format using a simple editor that is part of a scratch, or imported from an external source such as a webcam. However, scratch interactive programs still have the challenge of meeting different system requirements across platforms.

  As for the conventional technology of digital catalogs, e-books have already become typical catalog products that have been produced as catalogs, but they lack interactiveness. That is, since the contents of the digital catalog are in an inoperable form, there is no interactive relationship between the digital catalog and the viewer, and the contents source of the digital catalog cannot be actively expanded. In addition, since the catalog format and format of digital catalogs are set by vendors, there are restrictions even if consumers can accept or modify them passively, and the functions and content sources in the digital catalogs are active. Cannot be expanded.

  In addition, multimedia products edited using a scratch interactive program may have interactivity and operability, but content is not uniform. In addition, since related content and tools are uniformly provided by vendors, content sources cannot be actively expanded. Furthermore, it is not a mode suitable for producing a digital catalog of general web pages.

  As described above, there is room for improvement in the conventional digital catalog and the method for constructing the digital catalog.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a method for constructing an interactive digital catalog, a computer-readable storage medium to which the method is applied, and an interactive digital catalog. In addition, the interactive digital catalog allows users to acquire necessary unified elements without any restrictions and lay out them in the layout, and the source of the unified elements is constantly expanded, and users can use the interactive digital catalog.

  The present invention facilitates a more complete understanding with the following description, including examples of the following terms and conclusions. For the sake of brevity, in this specification, publications containing the published content of the invention are cited in the text for reference.

  In the following, embodiments of the present invention are not limited and only show various aspects and features of the present invention. Regarding the technical significance that is most restricted, the “information source” described in the text refers to the sequence of codes that are translated into useful information, and these useful information is used for organizing and labeling information. Information sources include websites (eg, Internet services), intranets, social networks, software, e-books, databases, and other information media (eg, recording media used for non-transitory computers, recording media for mobile devices) ). The “original information” described in the text includes files, web pages, databases, policies, rules, or any information accessible to related machines and servers. The “original tool” described in the text includes utility programs, Include widgets, intelligent agent tools, application programs, service tools, or any executable element accessible to the associated machine and server. However, the information source, the original information, and the original tool are not limited to those described above.

  Note that both “original information” and “original tool” are embodiments of the “original element” described in the text, and in the practice of the present invention, a plurality of “original information” from the same or different “information sources” are used. All of the “elements” are modeled into a plurality of “unified elements” through a unified method, and a plurality of “unified elements” are all compatible with each other in the same work environment, and can execute a specific task in cooperation. Both the “unified tool” and the “unified information unit” are embodiments of the “unified element”. In addition, the “materializer” described in the text is a member, device, or program code that unifies the “original element”.

  In one embodiment, the above-described unified method is configured to model original information into a unified information unit by reorganizing original information obtained from at least one information source of a plurality of information sources based on a unified data model. And / or the original tool acquired from at least one information source of the plurality of information sources based on another unified data model is reorganized to model the original tool into a unified tool. The unified data model and the other unified data model are the same or different, and the unified method described above is completed by a materializer.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation concept of the above-described unified method in the embodiment. FIG. 1 shows that the materializer 992 reorganizes the attributes and related links of the original element 991 based on the unified data model 993, the original element 991 is modeled into the unified element 994, and the basic attributes of the unified element 994 are the original elements. It includes a link that displays the type and location of the original element.

  In this embodiment, the original element 991 includes at least, but is not limited to, original information (not shown) or an original tool (not shown). Next, in the above-described unified method, when the attribute acquired from the original information corresponds to the attribute unified in the unified information unit, the unified information unit is directly generated by the materializer 992. If the attribute acquired from the original information does not correspond to the attribute unified in the unified information unit, the original information is first redefined by logically reorganizing the attribute of the original information and the related link. Are converted into new original information corresponding to the attributes unified in the unified information unit, and the unified information unit is indirectly generated.

  If the original tool is compatible with the work environment of the workspace, the unified tool is directly generated by the materializer 992. If the original tool is not compatible with the work environment in the workspace, the original tool is driven by the adapter and / or the original tool software development kit (SDK) to indirectly generate the unified tool. The adapter also provides an interface implementation that is compatible with the workspace.

  The “specific implementation method of the unified method”, the “specific acquisition method of the unified element”, and the “specific operation method of the materializer” according to the present embodiment are described in “A” of US Patent Application No. 14/324669. “METHOD OF UNIFYING INFORMATION AND TOOL FROM A PLURALITY OF INFORMATION SOURCES” and Chinese Patent Application No. 201410768564. Since reference is made to the document “No. X,“ Method for unifying information and tools from a plurality of information sources and the above method, and computer program product and apparatus to which the method is applied ””, it will not be described again here.

  Incidentally, the above-described unification method is only an embodiment of the unification method adopted by the present plan, and the method of unifying a plurality of original elements of different information sources is not limited to the above-described one. Anyone skilled in the art can make any design change that has the same effect according to actual demand.

  Below, two unification methods different from the above-mentioned explanation are illustrated. The first unified method is a data unified method applied to Garmin's satellite navigation, and the point of interest (POI) function of Garmin's satellite navigation is input therein by the above-mentioned data unified method. Corresponding unified spot information (unified information unit) is acquired by executing a unified process on the original spot information (original information). The second method is a tool unification method applied to the Android (registered trademark) system. The Android system is an open source mobile operating system based on Linux (registered trademark). However, many of the application programs (original tools) in the Android system are programmed with Java (registered trademark). Therefore, all of the application programs (original tools) programmed with Java (registered trademark) are in accordance with the above-mentioned tool unification method. It is modeled as a unified application program (unified tool) compatible with the Android system and can be executed on the Android system.

  Further, as used herein, “workspace” refers to a workspace for interactively operating at least one materializer and / or at least one tool and / or at least one information to perform a specific task, and At least one information and / or at least one tool is entered into the workspace by at least one materializer. However, the method of inputting information and / or tools into the workspace is not limited to this. Next, an information input unit (information input units 9881, 9882, and 9883 in FIG. 2), a Dropbox® information input unit 9761 ′ in FIG. 6 and the information input units 320 and 360 in FIG. 10 information inputs 420, 451, etc.) are all materializer embodiments. Further, the “unified script” described in the present specification refers to an intermediate language for realizing a workspace, and at least one materializer and / or at least one information and / or at least one by the “unified script”. One tool is provided in the workspace (eg, built-in or plug-in).

  In one embodiment, the at least one information is at least one unified information unit formed after at least one original information obtained from at least one information source is unified, and the at least one tool described above. Is at least one unified tool formed after at least one original tool obtained from at least one information source is unified. Based on the different tasks, the user adds the necessary unified information units and / or unified tools from the corresponding information source (eg, built-in or plug-in) into the personal workspace. Therefore, the “workspace” is a user-oriented “personal workspace”.

  This will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a preferred concept that uses a unified script as an intermediate language for realizing a personal workspace, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a preferred layout of the personal workspace shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show a unified information unit 985 ′ corresponding to the original information 985 in the Dropbox 982 and a first unified corresponding to the compatible original tool 986 in the cloud storage 983 according to the necessity of the task by the user. The combination of tool 986 ′ and a second unified tool 987 ′ corresponding to the original incompatible tool 987 in server 984 is illustrated in personal workspace 981. More specifically, the user first edits the unified script 980 as an intermediate language for realizing the personal workspace 981, and the unified script 980 uses the information input device 9881 of the Dropbox 982, the information input device 9882 of the cloud storage 983, And the setting tool of the information input unit 9883 of the server 984 is executed. The original information 985 in the Dropbox 982 is unified into the unified information unit 985 ′ by the information input device 9881 and inputted to the personal workspace 981.

  2 and 3 are original tools 986 in which the original tool stored in the cloud storage 983 is compatible (ie, the compatible original tool 986 is unified in the personal workspace 981). A first unified tool 986 'corresponding to the original tool 986 compatible with the unified script 980 (in which the information input device 9882 is utilized) Shown provided in workspace 981.

  2 and 3 are original tools 987 in which the original tool stored in the server 984 is incompatible (ie, the incompatible original tool 987 is a unified tool in the personal workspace 981). And a second unified corresponding to the original tool 987 that is incompatible with the unified script 980 (in which the compatible adapter 989 and the information input unit 9883 are used). It illustrates that a tool 987 ′ needs to be provided in the personal workspace 981.

  FIG. 3 also shows that the user places the unified information unit 985 ′, the first unified tool 986 ′, and the second unified tool 987 ′ in a specific area of the personal workspace 981 according to the actual application needs. Let Finally, it is necessary for the user to access or control the corresponding unified information unit using the unified tool according to the operational relationship between the unified tool and the unified information unit (for example, clicking or dragging between them). To perform the right task.

  “Specific implementation method in which the unified script is used as an intermediate language for realizing a personal workspace” described in the present embodiment, “Unified information unit and / or necessary required by the user according to actual application needs” A specific implementation method for performing tasks by freely combining various unified tools into a personal workspace based on corresponding sources is described in “METHOD FOR PERFORMING TASK ON UNIFIED” in US patent application Ser. No. 14/325466. “INFORMATION UNITS IN A PERSONAL WORKSPACE” and Chinese Patent Application No. 201410796528.4 “Combination Method for Unified Elements in Personal Workspace, and Computer Program Product and System Applying the Method” In order to refer to the document “Stem”, the detailed description is omitted here.

  Incidentally, the above-described personal workspace is only an embodiment of the workspace, and the workspace applied to the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, a unified script as an intermediate language for realizing a workspace is edited in advance, and the workspace becomes a workspace in which a default materializer and / or default information and / or a default tool is built-in. Such a workspace is not limited to use by a single user, but can be accessed by multiple users simultaneously or separately depending on the demands of the actual application.

  In addition, the “workspace” described in the text includes any electronic device (for example, a mobile phone, a tablet, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, etc.) that has a calculation ability according to the “workspace projection method”. The "projected workspace" can be accessed on any electronic device that has any computing power.

  In one embodiment, the workspace projection method first obtains an instance of a projectable space that a unified script generates with a unified resource identifier (URI). A unified script is defined such that a workspace constructed by at least one of a materializer, information, and tools is located (eg, as described above), and an instance of a projectable space corresponds to a workspace Used to construct a projected workspace and includes providing an interface that can perform tasks by accessing at least one of a materializer, information, and tools. Next, a projector is utilized to analyze the projectable space instance, and a work environment is constructed in which at least one of the materializer, information, and tools is placed in the projectable space instance, and the projection is performed. The executed workspace is executed, whereby at least one user and the projected workspace are interactively operated.

  The projector is obtained from a remote data station, an instance of a projectable space or a preloaded application program and loaded into an engine for providing a compatible environment to run the projector. Examples of the engine include a Java (registered trademark) script engine (for example, a browser), a window application program, or a Linux (registered trademark) application program, but are not limited to those described above. In addition, the unified script is formed by being declared in a document type definition (DTD), an extensible markup language schema (XML schema), a structured language, a structured protocol, or the like, but is not limited to the above. An instance of a projectable space is an instance generated by an object, an extensible markup language (XML) file, or a structured language or a structured protocol, but is not limited to the above.

  4 is a schematic diagram of an initial state of the above-described workspace projection method in the preferred embodiment, FIGS. 5A and 5B are schematic diagrams of an operation concept of the workspace projection method shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the relative relationship between the projectable space instance shown in FIG. 4 and the projected workspace shown in FIG. 5B.

  In the initial state shown in FIG. 4, there are a first electronic device 971 and a second electronic device 972 that communicate with each other (eg, through a network connection), and the first electronic device 971 has an instance 973 of a projectable space. The projector 974 is built in the second electronic device 972.

  The unified script 9731 is formed by being declared in a document type definition (DTD), and at least one information input device (matterizer embodiment) and / or at least one unified information unit and / or at least one unified. It is defined that the workspace constructed by the tool is arranged. The projectable space instance 973 is an instance generated in extensible markup language (XML). As shown in FIG. 6, an information input device and / or a unified information unit and / or a unified tool are used in or within the projected workspace 976 corresponding to the workspace. Deleted from.

  The projector 974 of the second electronic device 972 causes the work environment 975 used to operate the workspace 976 projected onto the second electronic device 972 to be constructed, and the microkernel 977 (see FIG. 6) provides the work environment 975. In doing so, it is equipped with at least one information input and / or at least one unified information unit and / or at least one unified tool added into the projected workspace 976. When the second electronic device 972 acquires the projectable space instance 973 in the first electronic device 971 with the unified resource identifier, the projector 974 of the second electronic device 972 starts to analyze the projectable space instance 973. . This is shown in FIG. 5A.

The unified information unit is formed after the original information obtained from at least one information source is unified by an operable unified element processing system, and the unified tool is also a first original tool obtained from at least one information source. It is formed after being unified by an operable unified element processing system.

  Specifically, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a preferred method for generating an operable unified element. As shown in FIG. 8, the operable unified element processing system is used to execute the following steps. First, at least one information input device is provided in the interactive digital catalog (S210). Then, using the at least one information input device, at least one original information and / or at least one first original tool is obtained from at least one information source among a plurality of information sources, and the at least one one The original information and / or the at least one first original tool is unified as at least one unified information unit and / or at least one unified tool, and then provided to the interactive digital catalog (S220).

  More specifically, first, the unified script as an intermediate language of the present invention is edited, and an information input device having a conversion function of a different format is permitted to be provided (built-in or plug-in) to the unified script. Further, the conversion function converts original information from different information sources as a unified information unit, and converts the first original tool from different information sources as a unified tool. The unified script is formed by being declared in a document type definition (DTD), an extensible markup language schema (XML schema), a structured language or a structured protocol, and an information input device is a Java (registered trademark) Bean, It can be realized with COM or any insertable component structure and is not limited to the above.

  Thus, the present invention can be used by users to perform different tasks by collecting unified information units and / or unified tools from many same or different information sources and configuring them as an interactive digital catalog.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a preferred concept for realizing providing the information input device in step S210 shown in FIG. 8 to the interactive digital catalog by editing the unified script. As shown in FIG. 9, the unified script 330 is used as an intermediate language of the interactive digital catalog 340, and the information input device 320 of the Dropbox 310 and the information input device 360 of the Google cloud storage 350 are installed by the unified script 330. The information input unit 320 of the Dropbox 310 and the information input unit 360 of the Google cloud storage 350 are put together in the same interactive digital catalog 340 after undergoing a unified process.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the information source of the interactive digital catalog 340 is the Dropbox 310, and the information input unit 320 of the Dropbox 310 is a software component for unifying the information of the Dropbox 310 as a unified information unit. The information input device 320 of the Dropbox 310 is installed by the unified script 330 and may be one of the source providers of the interactive digital catalog 340.

  The other information source of the interactive digital catalog 340 is the Google cloud storage 350, and the information input device 360 of the Google cloud storage 350 is a software component for unifying the information of the Google cloud storage 350 as a unified information unit. The information input device 360 of the Google cloud storage 25 is also installed by the unified script 330 and may be one of the source providers of the interactive digital catalog 340.

  Further, according to the present invention, a plurality of unified tools corresponding to a plurality of first original tools are collected in the interactive digital catalog according to a task difference. However, the first original tool is classified into a compatible tool and an incompatible tool. If the first original tool is a compatible tool, the first original tool obtained from at least one information source by the unified script is directly provided (built-in or plug-in) to the interactive digital catalog. If the first original tool is an incompatible tool, the first original tool obtained from at least one source is provided indirectly to the interactive digital catalog (built-in or plug-in) by a compatible adapter and unified script. In). Note that both compatible tools and compatible adapters are considered unified tools.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic view of a preferred concept in which a unified tool corresponding to the first original tool is provided (built-in or plug-in) in the interactive digital catalog in step S220 shown in FIG. First, a case where the first original tool is a compatible tool will be described. In FIG. 10, the first original tool is a compatibility tool 410 existing in an information source (for example, an information source provided by a vendor), and the component interface of the compatibility tool 410 is a unified tool in the interactive digital catalog 440. Because of compatibility with the component architecture used, the compatibility tool 410 is presumed to be a compatible unified tool and the compatibility tool 410 (using the information input device 420 therein) is determined by the unified script 430. Provided directly (built-in or plug-in) to the interactive digital catalog 440, certain functions of the compatibility tool 410 are executed.

  Next, a case where the first original tool is an incompatible tool will be described. In FIG. 10, another first original tool is Microsoft Word tool 450 existing in another information source, and the component interface of Microsoft Word tool 450 is a component architecture used as a unified tool in interactive digital catalog 440. Adapter 452 that is compatible with the component architecture used in the unified tool in the interactive digital catalog 440 is required. The incompatible Microsoft Word tool 450 is then provided (built-in or plug-in) to the interactive digital catalog 440 by the unified script 430 (with which compatible adapters 452 and / or information input devices 451 are utilized). Specific functions of the Microsoft Word tool 450 are performed. As described above for FIG. 10, both compatible and incompatible tools are unified in the same interactive digital catalog 440 to perform some task.

  As described above, both compatible and non-compatible tools are unified and placed in the same interactive digital catalog. Therefore, the interactive digital catalog is equipped with many unified tools, and the functional features provided by the unified tools also show the features of a specific unified information unit or are interpreted as features of a particular unified information unit. That is, after each first original tool is unified as a unified tool by the unified script, the corresponding unified information unit is processed by these unified tools, thereby completing the task.

  In addition, different unified tools have different functions, such as dynamic information display, information collection, unified information unit operation, and / or transaction execution, but are not limited to those described above. The unified tool of this proposal is displayed as an icon, text, input item (for example, a single input item, a multi-input item, a text input item, or an event input item), or any combination of the above three. For example, when the unified tool is a survey tool, the interface displayed is a single input item or multiple input item for the answers to each question in the survey, and a text input item is adopted for the opinion entry part, An event input item is adopted as the online submission function, and after the event input item is accessed, the online submission function is executed by a computer program or a browser.

  FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a preferred concept of a source of operable unified elements of an interactive digital catalog according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, the unified element source registry 510, for example, a web server has an operable unified element processing system 511 for unifying the original information and / or the first original tool received by the unified element source registry 510. Including. Vendors such as eBay 520 and Google 530 can develop tools (tool sets) individually and register them in the unified element source registry 510. That is, various tools (tool sets) developed by many vendors can be registered in the unified element source registry 510. In particular, a tool (tool set) developed by a vendor is previously unified as a unified tool (tool set), is regarded as a compatible tool (tool set), and is directly registered in the unified element source registry 510. When the tool (tool set) developed by the vendor includes an incompatible tool (tool set), the unified element processing system 511 that can be operated in the unified element source registry 510 is changed by the unified script (not shown). Unify the developed tool (tool set) as a unified tool (tool set). The original information stored in the Dropbox 540 is also composed of an operable unified element processing system 511 and a unified script loaded into the unified element source registry 510 and unified as a unified information unit.

  Further, in a preferred embodiment, the catalog launcher 560 on the browser 550 launches an interactive digital catalog 570 having a unified element source tool 580. The catalog launcher 560 is regarded as an embodiment of the “projector” described above, and the unified element source tool 580 is connected to the unified element source registry 510. The unified element source registry 510 to the unified tool (tool set) of the eBay 520, Google 530 A unified tool (tool set) or a unified information unit of Dropbox 540 is downloaded. Accordingly, the user can use the unified tool (tool set) of eBay 520 and the unified tool (tool set) of Google 530 on the page of the interactive digital catalog 570 using the unified element source tool 580 of the interactive digital catalog 570. Or, it becomes possible to browse the unified information unit of Dropbox 540.

  In more detail, more vendors and developers develop more tools (tool sets) and register them in the unified element source registry 510, so that the unified elements that can be operated acquired by the unified element source tool 580 are various. Turn into. That is, in the preferred embodiment, the unified element source of operable unified elements is constantly expanded, and the user can more conveniently operate the unified element source tool 580 in the interactive digital catalog 570 from a wide variety of operable unified tools (tool set). ) Can be obtained, and various tasks can be executed and completed.

Refers to things. That is, the browser displays text, images, or other information in the World Wide Web or local area network, and these text, images, or other information are linked to hyperlinks on other websites. The Therefore, the user can browse quickly and easily.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a preferred concept in which unified elements that can be manipulated on an interactive digital catalog are displayed and / or managed. As shown in FIG. 12, an application program interface (API) 620 and an interactive digital catalog 630 are activated by the catalog launcher 610 on the browser 600. The interactive digital catalog 630 includes a first operable unified element 640, a second operable unified element 650, and a third operable unified element 660, and the first operable unified element 640 and the second manipulated element. A possible unified element 650 is a unified tool having a specific function. Here, the specific function includes functions such as statistics, drawing, text processing, search, transaction, or arrangement, but is not limited to the above.

  Further, in the operation process, when the operable unified element is activated, the corresponding first original tool is driven, and a specific function is executed by the executable component. For example, if the first operable unified element 640 and the second operable unified element 650 are a questionnaire file and a statistical program, respectively, after the first operable unified element 640 is activated by the user, the questionnaire entry tool Appears and is displayed. The questionnaire entry tool is a first original tool 641 corresponding to the unified element 640 that can be operated first, and allows the user to input questionnaire data. The questionnaire data input by the user is entered in the storage space 670 of the browser 600 by the application program interface 620. Furthermore, after the unified element 650 that can be operated second by the user is activated, the statistical tool is activated. The statistical tool is the second original tool 651 corresponding to the second operable unified element 650. The questionnaire data stored in the storage space 670 is read by the application program interface 620, and statistical analysis is performed on the questionnaire data. Accordingly, the user can drive the corresponding first original tool 641 and second original tool 651 by the first operable unified element 640 and the second operable unified element 650, respectively, and complete the questionnaire survey and statistical tasks. .

  In addition, the application program interface 620 of the catalog launcher 610 performs management and operation on other operable uniform elements by components that can be operated on the uniform elements that can be operated, or cooperates with other operable uniform elements. Allow to work. That is, the application program interface 620 generates an interaction between a plurality of operable unified elements.

  Further, in a preferred embodiment, when the content of the operable unified element includes only information or data (for example, news content, data table, etc.), for example, the unified operable element 660, the user can perform the third operation. When the unified element 660 is activated, the viewer 661 corresponding to the unified element 660 that can be operated third is activated, and the user can view information and data of the unified element 660 that can be operated third.

  FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a preferred concept in which operable uniform elements on an interactive digital catalog are accessed or controlled. As shown in FIG. 13, the unified elements that can be operated include a PDF file 720 from Dropbox, a Word file 730 from Google cloud storage, a Google document viewer 740, and an Adobe PDF reader 750, and a PDF from Dropbox. Both the file 720 and the Word file 730 from Google cloud storage are displayed in the page of the interactive digital catalog 710.

  In a preferred embodiment, the Google document viewer and Adobe PDF reader 750 are pre-placed in the interactive digital catalog 710 and when a user launches or clicks on a PDF file 720 from Dropbox in the interactive digital catalog 710, the corresponding viewing tool ( That is, the Adobe PDF reader 750) is activated, the contents of the PDF file 720 are displayed, and the user can browse. Similarly, when a user activates or clicks a Word file 730 from Google cloud storage in the interactive digital catalog 710, the corresponding browsing tool (ie, Google document viewer 740) is activated and the contents of the Word file 730 are displayed. , Users can view.

  In summary, it is possible to browse on the page of the interactive digital catalog by clicking or dragging. For example, when a user directly clicks a Word file 730 from Google cloud storage, the interactive digital catalog 710 searches and selects a uniform tool that matches based on the attribute of the clicked document, and the content of the clicked document is Is displayed. Accordingly, the Word file 730 from the Google cloud storage is opened and displayed by the Google document viewer 740 and can be viewed by the user.

  In addition, the operation relationship between the unified tool and the unified information unit of the interactive digital catalog may be established by another method (for example, a drag operation between the two). After the operational relationship between the unified tool and the unified information unit is established, the user can use the unified tool to access or control the corresponding unified information unit and execute a specific task. For example, the drag operation between the unified tool and the unified information unit has the following two types of settings. The first setting allows a unified information unit to be accessed or controlled to be dragged and dropped on a corresponding unified tool (having an access or control function), thereby enabling access or control to the unified information unit. The second setting allows access to or control of the unified information unit by dragging a unified tool for accessing or controlling the unified information unit and dropping it on the unified information unit to be accessed or controlled. This allows the user to perform and complete specific tasks conveniently and efficiently. However, the above is only one embodiment, and the setting of the operation relationship between the unified tool and the unified information unit is not limited to the above.

  Therefore, the present invention can freely combine the unified information unit and the unified tool on the interactive digital catalog, and the features and functions of the combined unified information unit and the unified tool are executed on the page of the interactive digital catalog.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart of a preferred method for constructing an interactive digital catalog according to the present invention and for linking pages thereof. A method for constructing an interactive digital catalog and a method for connecting the pages include the following steps. First, an interactive digital catalog including a cover page, an index page, and a content page is created (S810). Next, unified elements that can be operated are laid out and edited on the cover page, the index page, and the content page (S820). Thereafter, a connection rule among the cover page, the index page, and the content page is established (S830). Finally, the interactive digital catalog is displayed in a three-dimensional manner having a Z-axis direction (S840).

  FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram of a preferred concept in which the connection of each page is established in step S830 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, in a preferred embodiment, first, a cover page 810, an index page 820, a first content page 831, a second content page 832, a third content page 841, and a fourth content page 842 are respectively created. Edited with. A link between the cover page 810 and the index page 820 is then established, and a page switching function between the cover page 810 and the index page 820 is also provided.

  Next, bookmarks are created on the index page 820, and each bookmark is set to switch to a specific section or a specific content page. In other words, as shown in FIG. 15, in the preferred embodiment, the first content page 831 and the second content page 832 are grouped as a first section 830, and the third content page 841 and the fourth content page 842 are the first. Grouped as two sections (840). A first bookmark 851 and a second bookmark 852 are created on the index page 820, and the first bookmark 851 is set to be linked to the first content page 831 of the first section 830 and activated, and the second bookmark 852 is created. Is set to be linked to the third content page 841 of the second section 840 and activated.

  More specifically, a connection is established between any two content pages of the first content page 831, the second content page 832, the third content page 841, and the fourth content page 842. As a result, the user can switch and move from any one of the first content page 831, the second content page 832, the third content page 841, and the fourth content page 842 to another content page. Optionally, a third bookmark 853 for returning from the content page to the index page 820 may be further provided on any content page. As a result, after the page connection relationship in the interactive digital catalog is established by the above-described method, each page on the interactive digital catalog 800 can be browsed by the user turning over the book page. Also, the interactive digital catalog 800 may directly cover the index page 820 without including the cover page 810 according to the actual request.

  FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram of a preferred concept for displaying the interactive digital catalog shown in FIG. 15 in a three-dimensional manner. As shown in FIG. 16, in three dimensions, a plurality of pages of the interactive digital catalog 800 (in the initial state, a cover page 810, an index page 820, and a plurality of content pages 831, 832, 841, 842) are arranged in the Z axis And the fourth content page 842 is positioned at the bottom in the Z-axis direction, and the cover page 810 is positioned at the top in the Z-axis direction. A person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can easily understand that the plurality of pages are arranged along the Z-axis direction because it is based on the conventional technique, and thus will not be described again here. A plurality of pages described in the text is arranged along the Z-axis direction as a visual appearance of one page or a plurality of pages, for example, a page size, a shape, or a page between or around at least two pages. The boundary is defined as being adjusted, but is not limited to the above.

  Further, in the interactive digital catalog 800 shown in FIG. 16, the index page 820, the first content page 831, the second content page 832, the third content page 841, and the fourth content page 842 are not positioned above the Z axis. Are arranged in order along the Z-axis direction. Further, at least a part of the pages overlaps or the rear page in the Z-axis direction is shielded. Since the cover page 810 is positioned at the upper part in the Z-axis direction, no other pages are superimposed on the cover page 810, and the cover page 810 becomes a top page that is easily noticed when the user browses. .

  The user can also execute a command to move the position of any one page of the interactive digital catalog 800 to the upper part in the Z-axis direction. In other words, each page of the interactive digital catalog 800 is moved in response to the above command, and the cover page 810 is moved from the upper position in the Z-axis direction to the position of the last page of the interactive digital catalog 800 or from the view. It can be erased. For example, the index page 820 and the other content pages 831, 832, 841, 842 are moved forward to the position of the previous page. As a result, the index page 820 moves to the upper part in the Z-axis direction and becomes the top page to be noticed.

  Due to visual effects, the movement of each page of the interactive digital catalog 800 (the cover page 810, the index page 820, and the plurality of content pages 831, 832, 841, 842) will spring up toward the user. The speed can be controlled by the user, for example, controlled by a mouse (not shown) or by settings provided by the interactive digital catalog 800. However, as illustrated in FIG. 17, the interactive digital catalog is displayed in a three-dimensional system, but the actual application is not limited thereto, and the interactive digital catalog may be displayed in a two-dimensional system or a four-dimensional system. In addition, the user designates a page specified by using a bookmark (for example, the first bookmark 851, the second bookmark 852, or the third bookmark 853) provided on the index page 820 or other content pages 831, 832, 841, and 842. May be directly opened, and the designated page may be moved to the upper part in the Z-axis direction to form a top page that is easily noticed.

  Preferably, but not limited to, the operable unified elements are laid out on any page of the interactive digital catalog based on predetermined rules. The predetermined rule is used for enlargement / reduction, movement, and / or application of a template to an operable unified element. For example, the predetermined rule is executed by the editing component, and the editing component provides an editing tool for editing the unified element that can be operated on the page of the interactive digital catalog.

  FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of a preferred concept in which the operable unified elements are laid out and edited in the interactive digital catalog in step S820 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, the content page 1100 includes a bookmark 1110 for returning to the index page, a page addition button 1120, and an edit mode button 1130. In the course of operation, the user can send a request to the unified element source registry using a unified element source tool (not shown) in the interactive digital catalog to obtain the necessary unified elements.

  In addition, the user can switch between the browsing mode and the editing mode using the editing mode button 1130 on the content page 1100. In the edit mode, the tool list 1140 appears and is displayed by the edit mode button 1130, and includes many tools. Each tool is a unified element having a specific function, for example, a setting tool 1141, an image file tool 1142, a file tool 1143, a PDF file writing tool 1144, and a link tool 1145. Specifically, the image file tool 1142 is used for the user to insert an image such as a flower into the content page 1100, and the file tool 1143 is used for the user to insert a file into the content page 1100.

  Next, in the process of adding the above-described object (flower image or file) to the content page 1100, an editing interface 1150 for executing a predetermined rule is generated at the same time, and the editing interface 1150 deletes the object. Delete tool 1151, hash tagging tool 1152 for tagging an object, Z-axis sequence adjustment tool 1153 for adjusting the arrangement of objects in the Z-axis direction, and an image for adjusting an object An image adjustment tool 1154 and a text box 1155 used for inputting and adjusting text contents are included. Finally, when the user completes editing the content page 1100 and switches to the viewing mode using the editing mode button 1130, the various types of tools provided in the editing mode are hidden, and the user inserts or sets them during the editing process. Only the object that has been left is left and can be viewed by the user.

  FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram of a preferred concept for editing a shopping page on an interactive digital catalog based on the method shown in FIG.

  FIG. 20 is a block schematic diagram of a computer-readable storage medium according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The computer-readable storage medium 200 is used to construct an interactive digital catalog, and displays and / or manages at least one operable unified element. The computer-readable storage medium 200 includes a computer program 210. When the computer program 210 is executed, the following steps are executed. First, an interactive digital catalog including at least one page is created (S110). Then, at least one operable unified element is laid out on the at least one page based on a predetermined rule, and the at least one operable unified element is displayed and managed (S120). Since the specific implementation method regarding these steps S110 and S120 is the same as that described above, it will not be described again here.

  More specifically, a computer program 210 stored in the computer-readable storage medium 200 is executed on the computer device, and an interactive digital catalog is displayed by a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computer device. Computer devices include servers, personal computers (desktop personal computers, notebook personal computers, tablet terminals, etc.), portable electronic devices (smart phones, PDAs, etc.), smart wearable terminals (smart watches, smart bracelets, smart glasses, etc.), or Internet connection functions. Including but not limited to those described above. In a preferred embodiment, the computer device and / or computer readable storage medium 200 is owned by an internet service platform provider. Accordingly, the network device that can be used to construct the interactive digital catalog is provided to the user by the computer device and / or the computer-readable storage medium 200.

  As described above, the interactive digital catalog having operable uniform elements provided by the present invention has the following advantages as compared with other conventional techniques.

  First, as more vendors and developers develop a wide variety of unified elements based on unified element rules and formats, the source of unified elements that can be manipulated in an interactive digital catalog will be continuously expanded. . That is, the user can acquire the necessary unified elements more conveniently and easily, and the task can be completed by operating the interactive digital catalog.

  Secondly, in the prior art, the digital catalog or its program is created or developed by a vendor or developer, and the general public and users can only accept it passively. For this reason, content must be adjusted in the presence of certain restrictions. In turn, the interactive digital catalog according to the present invention allows the user to edit, layout, and combine them according to personal requirements, and any uniform element can be used on each page therein. In other words, the interactive digital catalog has a high degree of freedom, and allows the user to acquire necessary unified elements without any restrictions and lay out the interactive digital catalog. Personalized and customized interactive digital catalogs can be designed, for example, interactive digital catalogs on the subject of content such as personal websites, commercial websites, autobiography, education or introductions.

  Third, a plurality of unified elements laid out and combined in an interactive digital catalog operate interactively with each other through an application program interface activated by a catalog launcher. In other words, when a unified element is executed or activated, the corresponding other unified element is retrieved and activated by the application program interface, thereby completing the task by operating together.

  Fourth, the interactive digital catalog itself is a platform that works in cooperation. When a plurality of users have the authority to edit the interactive digital catalog, the users can complete the interactive digital catalog by editing or cooperating at the same time or at any time. For example, when editing a catalog based on the life of President Obama, multiple users first collect data for each period of President Obama, and edit and organize content pages based on the data they collect. . Finally, multiple content pages are integrated to complete a complete interactive digital catalog. Multiple users can also share an interactive digital catalog in a wired or wireless manner, or publish it to others or social websites.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail with reference to drawings, the concrete structure is not restricted to this embodiment, The design change etc. of the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention are included.
