DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hypermedia presentation system for retrieving and providing necessary information from an information space composed of hypertexts and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 37 shows a system configuration disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-85087 "Automatic Presentation System for Hypermedia Presentation Story". According to this configuration example, when a story is created, a story is created by applying the structure between the materials to the tree structure based on link information indicating the relationship between the materials in the “story creation unit”. The logic for creating a story is predetermined in the “story creation section”.

FIG. 38 is Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-13537 "Dynamic control system for video or audio presentation".
FIG. 2 is a system block diagram shown in FIG. In a program file of the system, a story list for the presentation, or a time interval between successive stories in a sequence that presents the stories in the list, is defined. Also, the time interval is dynamically changed by the user during the presentation via the system console. According to the changed time interval, if the interval is relatively long, a portion centering on that portion or the whole is indicated, and if the interval is relatively short, a short portion is indicated.

[0004] FIG. 39 is a schematic diagram of MS's "Power P".
3 is an explanatory diagram of the presentation creation software indicated by “point”. According to this conventional technique, when the presentation is executed, the display order and the link relation of the materials are set in advance, so that the presentation can be executed only in the order and the contents set here. FIG.
Is a conventional technique disclosed in JP-A-3-74769 "Multimedia presentation system". When confirming the link relationship as a summary, pages composed of text, graphics, images, and the like are reduced in page units, and a plurality of pages are simultaneously displayed and output.

FIG. 41 is Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-129352.
This is the prior art shown in "Presentation Material Creation Device". When a material is created, the structure of the input document is automatically analyzed, and based on this, the format of the document in the material is decorated and displayed according to the document structure.

[0006] FIG. 42 is a diagram of the Power Company “Power Po”
When displaying a previously displayed drawing, a list of all screens is displayed in a list display mode, and a screen to be displayed is selected from the list.

FIG. 43 shows a conventional technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-67150, entitled "Presentation Device for Accumulating and Reusing User Operation History in Hypermedia System". According to this conventional example, the operator actually operates and records the display order and the display time interval of the materials. This record is reused to determine the display order and the display time interval.

[0008] FIG.
al ". When setting a link, a file name is specified from all files for which link setting is possible.

[0009]

Since the conventional multimedia presentation system is configured as described above, the order in which the materials are displayed is uniquely determined according to the logic of the story creation unit set in advance. There was a problem that a story could not be created or changed from link information as needed.

When the operator changes the content of the presentation in accordance with the length of the time interval for displaying the video, either the long course or the short course prepared in advance is automatically selected. Therefore, there is a problem that the importance is not considered, and therefore, even the important part is uniquely deleted.

[0011] Further, there is a problem that the contents of the materials can be displayed only in a preset order, and the materials cannot be displayed in a skipped manner or the materials can be appropriately rearranged in accordance with the contents of the explanation. .

Further, there is a problem in that the contents of the materials can be displayed only in a preset order, so that other materials can be newly read during the explanation and cannot be referred to.

Further, when displaying the relation of the entire material, even if the image is reduced, the image of all the materials is displayed, so that the display range is widened. For this reason, there is a problem in that if the relation of the entire material is displayed on the screen while displaying and explaining a certain material on the screen, the material being described is hidden.

In the case of inputting a document of the entire material at a time, the document structure can be analyzed at the time of input. However, originally prepared materials are separately combined into a single presentation. In this case, there is a problem that the document cannot be decorated according to the material configuration because the document structure cannot be analyzed.

Further, since the color of the button is determined by the attribute, there is a problem that the color once determined cannot be changed.

Further, when the user wants to return to the previously displayed screen, the list screen must be displayed once, which is troublesome.

Further, when the operation history of the user is accumulated and reused, it is possible to give a presentation again with the contents as operated by the user, but another presentation is made by combining a plurality of presentation contents. If the same material is used between two presentations during the presentation, it is not possible to avoid duplication of these materials, and it is not possible to change the order of explanation according to the content, and the user operates again Has to be performed to accumulate the history, and a troublesome operation is required.

In addition, even when a plurality of materials have a link relationship and the relevance of the materials hardly changes, these link relationships must be specified again, and a file to be specified is searched for. There was a problem that it was difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a presentation system which can easily change a story according to the situation at the time of presentation. Aim.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Before describing the embodiments of the present invention, various data commonly used throughout the embodiments will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows the structure of media information.
A media ID is assigned to media information including an image size, the number of colors used, and data to be displayed. FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a media object, in which media information and its type, the name of an application program for display output, and other output parameters are assigned media object IDs. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing page information. The ID of the media object displayed on the page and the display position information on the page are used as a pair of information, and the information of this pair is held as many as the number of media objects constituting the page. With a page ID. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the structure link information. The depth of the hierarchy when the relationship between the pages is arranged hierarchically with the start page at the top of each page, the ID of the parent page referring to the own page, or It is composed of the parent media object ID and its own page ID. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the structure of the story information, which is composed of information defining the page ID and its standard explanation time in the order in which it is displayed, to which the story ID is added. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the importance information. As shown, there are two types of defining methods. In other words, one represents absolute importance, and is composed of information that is a combination of a page ID and importance variables from 1 to 1000. In this case, the higher the variable value, the higher the importance. The other definition method relatively defines importance information, describes two pages, and defines which page is more important. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating hierarchical keyword information, in which a keyword or a keyword, a keyword and a page ID, or a page ID and a keyword is associated. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing display history information, in which page IDs are added in the order displayed by the operator,
A history ID is added to this. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing bookmark information. In a case where there are a plurality of pages sandwiching a bookmark by the operator, a plurality of page ID information of the pages sandwiching the bookmark are recorded, and a bookmark ID is added thereto. .
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing time information, in which a page ID of a page operated and displayed by an operator and a display time of the page are recorded, and a time at which the operation is recorded is identified. With a time ID.

Here, the above-mentioned media object and page will be supplementarily described. The media object is not limited to image data such as a bitmap, moving image data such as an AVI format file, and any other data that can be electronically converted, such as sequence data such as audio and machine control. In this case, The only difference is that the expression means is slightly different depending on the media. For example, in the case of audio data, the content is to generate audio. Page data,
Any combination of media objects that can be converted into data electronically as described above may be used. Further, the page data does not necessarily need to be a set of media objects, and may be bitmap data itself. That is, in this case, the bitmap data created by the application program on the other system may be managed by the media information management unit, and the layout unit may be set so that the bitmap data forms a page as it is, as described later.

Next, various management means commonly used throughout the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the overall configuration diagram of FIG. First, the link management means 8
Means for reading or writing the structure link information shown in (1) from the storage medium, and reads and writes the structure link information or its parent or child structure link information using its own page ID as a key. When searching for the parent of a certain structure link information, the search is performed based on the parent page ID included in the structure link information. Also, when searching for a child of a certain structure link information, the own page ID is set to the parent page I.
The structure link information held as D is extracted and searched. Next, the layout management unit 5 records the page information shown in FIG.
Or means to take out. Next, the media information management means 3 converts the media information as shown in FIG.
Is used as a key, and the size of image data, the number of colors used, and raster data, which are media information, are written to or read from a storage medium. Further, the media information management means 3 simultaneously manages the media objects as shown in FIG. 2 using the media object ID as a key, and identifies the data identifier, the media ID of the media information, the name of the application program for display output, The processing of writing or reading the display position or the output parameter of the data on the recording medium is performed. The story management means 10 manages the story data as shown in FIG. 5 using the story ID as a key, and records the order of the page IDs included in the story and the standard display time of each page on a recording medium. Or reading is performed.

Next, a method of creating a page of a screen layout commonly used throughout the embodiment of the present invention by the layout means 4 will be described with reference to FIG. A blank page is displayed on the display device 1 by the page display unit. The operator gives a command instruction by operating the mouse while looking at the screen using the mouse, keyboard or the like as the input device 2. Thus, when a command to change the page size or color is input, the page size and color information is transmitted to the layout unit 4, and the layout unit 4 sends the information to the display device 1, and outputs a new color and size. To display the page. Also, the media object ID is assigned to the keyboard 2
, And clicking the arrangement position on the page with a mouse sends the media object ID to the media information management means 3. The media information management means 3 extracts data such as image data based on the media object ID and sends it to the display means 1. The display unit 1 displays the data sent from the media information management unit 3 at the location. When the operator finally instructs the operation confirmation by operating the mouse, the media object ID and the layout position information (FIGS. 2 and 3) indicating the arrangement location are sent to the layout management means 5 and recorded as page information.

Next, the operation of the structure link in the structure link setting means 7 commonly used throughout the embodiment of the present invention will be described. Two pages I from input device 2
When D is input, the ID is transmitted to the layout management means 5. The layout management means 5 searches for the ID and location of the media object to be arranged on each page and sends them to the display device 1 and the media information management means 3. In the media information management means 3, the media object ID
Is retrieved and sent to the display means 1. The display unit 1 displays a page corresponding to the two page IDs, and displays image data at a layout position. In this state, one page is clicked by the mouse operation of the input means 2 and then the other page is clicked, and then a key input indicating link registration is performed.
The two page IDs, information indicating which was pressed first, and information of link registration are sent to the link management means 8. The link management unit 8 registers the page ID of the page pressed first as a parent and the page ID pressed later as a child as structure link information.

Next, a description will be given of story creation by the story creation means 9 commonly used throughout the embodiments of the present invention. When the page ID and the display time of the page are input from the input means 2 via the keyboard,
The information is sent to the story creating means 9. The story creating means 9 records the sent page ID and display time in the recording means in order.

Next, a basic presentation operation common to the embodiments of the present invention will be described.
There are two ways to give a presentation: a method using a story and a method not using a story. First, a case using a story will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, the story I of the story is input from the input device 2.
When D is designated, the story ID is sent to the story management means 10. The story management means 10 stores therein a variable indicating which page is displayed, and assuming that the variable name is i, i is set to 1 and the ID of the page to be displayed first is read out to layout. Send to management means 5. In the layout management means 5, based on the page ID, the I
D and the layout position are taken out and sent to the media information management means 3. The media information management means 3 reads out media information such as image data based on the ID of the media object, and sends it to the page display section together with the layout position. The page display section displays a page. When the operator gives an instruction to turn the page through the input device 2 while the page is being displayed, the instruction is sent to the story management means 10. The story management means 10 searches the ID of the i-th page in the story by adding 1 to the content of the variable i. When all pages are displayed, the process ends.

Next, a procedure when a story is not used will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure,
When a page ID is designated from the input device 2, the layout management unit 5 extracts the ID and layout position of the media object included in the corresponding page based on the page ID, and sends them to the media information management unit 3. The media information management means 3 reads out media information such as image data based on the ID of the media object and sends it to the page display section together with the layout position. The page display section displays a page. Next, when the operator instructs the media object on the page via the input device 2 by the layout management means 5, the media object ID is sent to the link management means 8, and the link management means 8 displays the next by the structure link information. The ID of the page to be searched is retrieved, and the ID is sent to the layout management means 5. Hereinafter, the same operation is repeated.

Embodiment 1 A method of creating a presentation story according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Numeral 11 denotes a rule setting means for inputting a rule name and a story creation program name corresponding to the rule name into one.
It is managed as a set. Reference numeral 12 denotes a rule management unit that writes and reads a rule name and a story creation program to and from a recording medium. When all rule names are taken out or an instruction to take out a story creation program corresponding to the rule name is given, the story creation program corresponding to the rule name is taken out. 13
Is a story changing means based on a rule, executes a story creation program corresponding to a rule name, and stores the resulting page creation order in a recording medium via the story management means.

Next, the operation will be described. Display means 1
When the operator selects the content of the rule displayed above, the name of the selected rule (for example, rule a) is transmitted from the rule setting means 11 to the rule management means 12. The rule management means 12 sends a story creation program corresponding to the selected rule to the rule-based story change means 13. The rule-based story changing means 13 sequentially executes a story creation program corresponding to the selected rule to determine a story. And
The determined story is transmitted to the story management means 10 and the story management means 10 records this. Here, the operation of the story creation program when the rule selected for changing the story is the “one-stroke writing rule” will be described. According to the one-stroke writing rule, as shown in the upper right of FIG. 15, there is a page named "B" below the page named "A", and "C", "D", and "G" below it. There is a page, of which there is a page called "E" under "D".
It is assumed that there is a link relation of a page composed of a page “F” under “E.” At this time, the operation of the story creation program based on the “one-stroke writing rule” is started in the rule-based story changing means 13. Then, an instruction to search from the first page is transmitted to the link information management means 8. In the link information management means 8,
The data having no parent is extracted as the first data, and the page ID of the data is returned. The story changing means 13 based on the rule sets page "A" as a value of a position variable which is an internal variable of the means, and sets "1" as a hierarchical variable.
And the content of the confirmed child variable is set to “none”, and the first story is set to page “A”. next,
The following operation 1 is performed. (1) Operation 1 The link information management unit 8 is inquired about what is the child page of the page ID which is the position variable.
Since the link information management means 8 has already been described as an operation common to each embodiment of the present invention, it is omitted here. In the story changing means 13 based on the rule, the page ID is obtained from the link information managing means 8. From this, one of the page IDs not recorded in the confirmed child variable is taken out and set as the value of the position variable.
1 "is added, and the page ID set as the position variable is added to the content of the confirmed child variable.
D is added (Operation 1 ends above). (2) When the above operation 1 is repeated up to the leaf of the tree,
The story is A → B → C, the position variable is “C”, the hierarchy variable is “3”, and the confirmed child variables are “B” and “C”.
Here, when the operation 1 is to be repeated next, the child ID of the page “C” cannot be obtained. If there is no child page of the position variable, or if the child page of the position variable has already been registered as a confirmed child variable, the following operation (operation 2) is executed. (3) Operation 2 Inquire the link information management means 8 to acquire the page ID of its own parent, and set this as a position variable. Subtract 1 from the hierarchy variable. Add the position variable set to the story (Operation 2 ends above). (4) As described above, first, the operation 1 is repeatedly executed, and if the deadlock is reached, the operation 2 is executed. In this way, in the case of the link relationship as shown in the upper right of FIG. 15, "AB
Stories are created in the order of "CBDEFEDBG".

Embodiment 2 Next, a method of changing the presentation story of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Numeral 14 denotes an importance setting means for setting the importance for each page by combining the input page ID and importance information with each other. Further, in response to an inquiry as to which of the two input pages is more important, the result is stored in the recording medium via the importance management means. Numeral 15 denotes importance management means for storing and extracting importance information.
In addition, a page ID is received to search for importance, or which of two received page IDs is important is searched and a result is returned. Numeral 16 denotes time recording means for recording the time when the page is displayed. The time recording means 16 receives a page ID at the time of switching the page during the presentation, measures the display time until the next page switching is performed, and displays the page displayed so far. Page ID and display time of 1
The set is stored in the recording medium via the time management unit.
Reference numeral 17 denotes time management means for storing the sent recording medium as a set of a page ID and a display time. Also, when the display time of the page corresponding to the page ID is searched or the elapsed time since the start of the presentation is compared with the total of the standard display time of the already displayed pages, and the presentation is continued according to a predetermined story. If it is determined that the time exceeds the standard display time of the story, the story change means based on the importance and time is notified. Numeral 18 is a story changing means based on importance and time, which reads out a plurality of pre-registered abbreviated stories from the story management means and, based on the standard display time and importance of each page included therein, reads out the abbreviated stories. The most important is to select a shortened story that will end displaying the story within the scheduled end time when displayed at standard time.

Next, the operation will be described. The time management means 17 sends a time inquiry command to the story management means 10 at the start of the presentation. At this time, the story management means 10 sends the page ID included in the story and its standard display time to the time management means 17 together. The time management means 17 records the total of the standard display times of all pages included in the story as a total time variable. When the presentation is executed, the layout management unit 5 shown in FIG.
The page ID is sent to the time recording unit 16 from the layout management unit in FIG. The time recording means 16 records the page ID and the previous actual display time based on the time. Using this information, the time management means 17 calculates the elapsed time from the start of the presentation to the present, compares the total of the standard display times of the pages already displayed, and calculates the total of the standard display times of the pages already displayed. To a predetermined rate (for example, 1.
3 times), or exceeds a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes), and furthermore, when the operator issues an instruction to shorten the time via the input device 2, etc. It notifies the story changing means 18 that there is no time. The notification content is the page ID currently being displayed,
The variable i is the number of the page displayed in the story, the remaining time obtained by subtracting the elapsed time from the total time variable, and the like. In the case of an operator's instruction, an instruction as to how many minutes should be completed later is also sent. The story changing means 18 based on the importance and the time sends a story ID of the currently displayed story and a code for requesting a reduced version to the story management means 10. The story management means 10 searches for a reduced version of the story ID. A reduced version of a story can be searched by processing the story ID in a predetermined manner, such as adding a predetermined alphabetic character string to the rightmost of the story ID character string of the story before being reduced in advance. So that In the story management means 10, after searching for a plurality of reduced edition stories, the importance management means 15 searches for the importance of all pages included in the story, and these are combined to change the story based on the importance and time.
Send to 8. Here, it is assumed that there are two reduced edition stories, which are called S1 and S2. The story changing means 18 based on the importance and the time reads the contents of S1 and S2 from the beginning, and deletes the already displayed page if any. The reduced story composed of the remaining pages is S1A and S2A. The total of the standard display times of the pages included in S1A is T1, and the total of the standard display times of the pages included in S2A is T2. Also, S1A
Is J1 and the sum of the importance of pages included in S2A is J2. Where J
If 1> J2 and T1 is within the remaining time, S1
Let A be the continuation of the story. If J1> J2 and T1 exceeds the remaining time, S2A is set as the continuation of the story. If the continuation of the story is, for example, S1A, the code indicating the story change, the page ID included in S1A, and the standard display time are sent to the story management means 10 from the story change means 18 based on the importance and the time. In the story management means 10, the received data is stored in a storage medium, and thereafter, the presentation is continued according to the procedure shown in FIG.
