A.システムの概要と動作の方法
A.1.実例となるシステムの概要
図2は、図1の一般システム100の、一つの実例となる実施形態を描いたシステム200を示す。概観すると、システム200は上記で確認された構成要素を含む。つまり、IPS102は通信環境106を経由してユーザデバイスにつながる。
図3は、IPS102とユーザデバイス104(図1と2で紹介)のさらに詳細な描写を含むシステム300を示す。示されてはいないが、図3のシステム300は、図2で示されるワイヤレス機能を使用することができる。別の実施形態では、システム300は図2で示されるものとは別の通信環境を使用することができ、ワイヤレス通信の使用を任意で除外することができる。
上述のIPS102は、任意のタイプのユーザデバイス104と交信することができる。一例では、ユーザデバイス104は、携帯用のデバイスであり、これは、場所から場所へと手軽に携行されるよう設計されているデバイスを意味する。具体的な一例では、ユーザデバイス104は、例えば、ユーザが実際の書籍を手に持つような形を模倣する形態で、ユーザが、ユーザデバイス104を手に持ちながらメディアアイテムを消費できるようにする。携帯用ユーザデバイスは、電子書籍リーダーデバイス、携帯用音楽プレーヤー、携帯情報端末、移動電話、ゲームモジュール、ラップトップコンピュータなどの形をとること、および/またはこうした種類のデバイスの任意の組み合わせという形をとることができる。その代わりに、またはそれに加えて、ユーザデバイス104は、パーソナルコンピュータ、テレビに取り付けられるセットトップボックス、ゲーム機など、手軽に持ち運びできないデバイスに相当し得る。

繰り返すが、図5および6に示されているユーザーインターフェースの設計は、典型的なものである。異なるタイプのユーザーインターフェース・機構を有する他のタイプのユーザデバイスが、IPS102との交信に用いられてもよい。
図1、2および3に示されているシステムの様々な態様が、1つ以上のデータ処理デバイスによって実現され得る。例えば、IPS102の様々な構成要素が、それぞれのサーバタイプのコンピュータおよび関連するデータ処理装置(例えば、ルータ、データ記憶デバイスなど)によって実現され得る。ユーザデバイス104は、データ処理デバイスにも相当し得る。図7は、サーバ側の任意の機能および/またはデバイス側の任意の機能を含む、上記のシステムの任意の態様を実現するために用いられ得る一般的なデータ処理デバイス702の概要を示す。
上記の各セクションで説明したように、IPS102のアイテム配信システム312は、デバイス側to‐doリスト処理モジュール334と交信して、IPS102のコンテンツ記憶308からアイテムをダウンロードする。アイテム配信システム312は、次いで、to‐doリストサーバモジュール314およびコンテンツ配信モジュール316の2つの構成要素を備える。to‐doリスト処理モジュール334は、to‐doリストサーバモジュール314と交信してエントリーをダウンロードするが、このエントリーが、IPS102から読み出されるべきアイテムを特定する。to‐doリスト処理モジュール334は、コンテンツ配信モジュール316と交信して、このエントリーによって特定された実際のアイテムを読み出す。図8は、IPS102からユーザデバイス104にアイテムをダウンロードするための1つのプロトコル800についてのさらなる情報を提供する。このプロトコルは実例となるものであり、種々の環境に合うよう様々な点で変更されるとよい。
セクションAでシステムの概要を説明したが、このセクションは、システムの様々な構成要素についてさらに詳しく説明する。各構成要素は、上記の総合的システムを背景として用いられ得るが、各構成要素は、他の種類のシステムで用いることも可能である。
B.1.a.コンテンツ受信システムの概要
上記のように、コンテンツ受信システム302は、1つまたは複数のソース304からアイテムを受け取り、適切であれば、そのアイテムをデバイス読取可能なフォーマットに変換する。このような変換は、変換プロセスはゼロからコンテンツを生成しないため、本願明細書では広い意味で「コンテンツ形成」とも呼ばれる。コンテンツ受信システム302は、事前作成アイテム(電子書籍など)、予約購読関連アイテム、および個人用アイテムを取り扱う別々のモジュールを備えているとよい。すなわち、コンテンツ受信システム302は、電子書籍処理モジュール902、予約購読関連処理モジュール904、およびユーザ供給処理モジュール906を備える。
図10は、予約購読モジュール310についてのさらなる情報を示す。これは、図3との関連で紹介されたものである。予約購読モジュール310は、予約購読管理モジュール1002を含む。予約購読管理モジュール1002は、予約購読の形成および終了、並びに予約購読のその他の側面を管理する。一例では、店舗モジュール318が、ユーザの予約購読の購入(またはより一般的に、ユーザの予約購読の入手)を受け取ることができる。店舗モジュール318は、ユーザの選択を予約購読管理モジュール1002に伝達することができる。次に、予約購読管理モジュール1002は、予約購読記憶1004と、例えば新たなエントリーを記憶1004に追加すること、記憶1004内のエントリーを消去すること、記憶1004内のエントリーを変更することなどによって、やりとりする。
コンテンツ受信プロセスにより生成されたコンテンツに加えて、補助情報がアイテムに関連付けられ得る。そのような種類の補助情報の1つは索引情報である。もう1つのタイプの補助情報は注釈情報である。図11は、そのような補助情報を生成する機能の概要を提供する。
セクションB.1の残りは、電子書籍およびその他の事前作成アイテム、予約購読関連アイテム、並びに個人用アイテムを受信および処理するプロセスについて、さらなる情報を提供する。
図13は、予約購読関連アイテムを受信および処理する1つの形を示す信号フロー図である。動作(1)で、予約購読関連処理モジュール904が、予約購読関連アイテムを受け取り、処理する。この処理は、アイテムをデバイス読取可能なフォーマットに変換すること、アイテムに索引を付けることなどを含めばよい。
図14は、個人用アイテム(個人用文書など)を受信および処理する1つの形を示す信号フロー図である。動作(1)で、ユーザは、電子メール機能またはその他のメッセージ作成機能を用いて、個人用アイテムを、ユーザ供給処理モジュール906に送付する。例えば、ユーザは、電子メール・メッセージへの添付として個人用アイテムを含めてもよい。一例では、ユーザは、電子メール・メッセージで単一の個人用アイテムを送付してもよい。別の例では、ユーザは電子メール・メッセージで、例えばその電子メール・メッセージへの複数の添付として、複数の個人用アイテムを送付してもよい。ユーザ供給処理モジュール906は、ユーザが、1つまたは複数の添付を、例えばZIPファイルまたは他の形式のパッケージにまとめることを可能にする。
このセクションは、to‐doリストサーバモジュール314の実例となる構成および動作についてさらなる情報を提供する。to‐doリストサーバモジュール314は、ユーザデバイス104に命令を送信し、それによってユーザデバイス104に、アイテムを読み出しその他のアクションを実行するよう命令することによって動作するということを思い出されたい。
図21は、デバイス側to‐doリスト処理モジュール334の詳細を示す。図21に示されているモジュールは、to‐doリストサーバモジュール314に関して図18に示されているモジュールの多くを補完する。
B.4.a.コンテンツ配信モジュールの概要
図23は、サーバ側コンテンツ配信モジュール316についてのさらなる詳細を提供する。サーバ側コンテンツ配信モジュール316は、ユーザデバイス104の要求に応じて、ユーザデバイス104へのアイテムの配信に部分的に関係する多数の機能を実行する。
図26〜29は、増分更新を実行する手順を説明するものである。この手順の一般的な目的は、ユーザデバイスに、要求アイテムの 完全版ではなく、可能であれば差分版を提供することである。要求アイテムの差分版は、デバイスが既に所有するコンテンツのバージョン(たとえば「デバイスバージョン」)と、コンテンツの現行バージョンとの違いを表すものである。差分版を受領すると、デバイスは直ちに、アイテムの差分版を既存の先行(デバイス)バージョンに統合(たとえばパッチ)することにより、要求アイテムの完全版を構築する。この手順では、IPS 102 からユーザデバイス 104に送信する情報量、またそれに伴うコスト(特にワイヤレス通信コスト)を削減するため、要求アイテムの差分版をユーザデバイス 104に提供することを試みる。
B.5.a.配信管理機能の概要
上記に説明した事例では、IPS 102は、アイテムを受領し、適切なto-doキュー(購読関連アイテムの場合)にエントリーを追加し、ユーザデバイスがエントリーにアクセスし、対応するアイテムをダウンロードするようTPH 信号を送信する。このセクションでは、この一般的プロセスをより効率的に、また/もしくは、その他の目的を達成するために策定された様々な管理機能について説明する。
B.5.b.例示的な高信頼実現機能
図31は、上記に紹介した遅滞通知機能3006を実現する手順3200を示すフローチャートである。手順3200は、特定の予約購読関連アイテムに関連して説明されるが、予約購読関連アイテムまた/もしくは他の種類のアイテムの集合でも、全体として繰り返すことができる。
図33は、上に紹介したTPHスケジューリング機能3004の実行の手順3300を示すフローチャートである。TPHスケジューリング機能3004の実例となる目標は、ユーザデバイスを起動し、TPH信号を受信し、エントリーとアイテムをダウンロードする必要回数を減らすことであることを思い起こされたい。TPHスケジューリング機能3004は、様々なルールに基づいて複数のTPH信号を一つのTPH信号に統合することによって、また/もしくはTPH信号が発送されるタイミングを調整することによって、この目標を達成する。手順3300は、特定のユーザデバイスに関連付けられた例示的な一つのto-doキューに関して説明されるが、ここに説明するオペレーションは複数のto-doキューと、それに関連するユーザデバイスのために実行され得る。ある実施形態では、TPH スケジューリング機能3004は通知モジュール1808の機能として実現され得る。
図34は、上に紹介した予約購読開始機能3008を実現するための手順3400を示すフローチャートである。
図4で紹介したホーム提示モジュール408は、ユーザがユーザデバイス104とのやり取りを開始できるホームページを提供する。ホーム提示モジュール408は、そのホームページ上に様々な情報を示すことができる。図35は、ホームページ3502の一つの実例的な実施形態を示す。
B.7.a.店舗モジュール概要
図38は、図3において紹介した店舗モジュール318を示す。概要として、店舗モジュール318によりユーザはアイテムを検索し、選択したアイテムを購入(もしくは入手)することなどができる。ユーザはユーザデバイス104が提供する店舗対話モジュール344を介し、店舗モジュール318とやりとりする。ユーザはまた、無線ではない通信機構(たとえば電話またはケーブルモデム、DSL機構など)を介し店舗モジュール318にパソコンからアクセスするなど、一つか複数の代わりの機構を介して店舗モジュール318とやりとりすることもできる。
図42は、図38の購入撤回モジュール3814を使用して購入撤回を行う実例的な手順4200を示すフローチャートである。
デバイス側のコンテンツ管理モジュール342は、ユーザがユーザデバイス104で消費できるアイテムの閲覧および管理ができるツールを提供する。図44は、コンテンツマネージャ342に関するさらなる詳細を示す。図44はまた、コンテンツマネージャ342が、サーバサイドの個人メディアライブラリモジュール324および購読モジュール310など、他のモジュールとやりとりをする方法を示す。
図3で紹介したリーダーモジュール340は、ユーザが電子書籍を読めるようにするインターフェースを提供することを思い起こされたい。図48は、リーダーモジュール340が作成したテキストコンテンツの一つのページ4802、ハーマン・メルヴィル著「白鯨」を表示している。ユーザは適切なメニュー(非表示)を使って文字サイズを変更することができる。ユーザは、どこまで読み進んだかを、進行表示4804で見ることができる。表示の全長に対しする進行表示のドットの数は、ユーザがどこまで本を読み進んだかを示す。
図53は、図2のシステム200を簡易化した描写である。この簡易描写の中で、デバイス側閲覧モジュール402は、インターネットなどのネットワーク212を介し、アイテム提供システム(IPS)102とやりとりをする。このIPS102には、閲覧プロキシモジュール326が含まれる。閲覧モジュール402は、ネットワークでアクセス可能なリソース226のひとつにアクセスしようとするとき、まず閲覧プロキシモジュール326に方向づけられる。この、例示的かつ代表的な方法では、デバイス閲覧モジュールはネットワークでアクセス可能なリソースに直接アクセスすることを妨げられる(図53の×マークに示される)。注意すべきは、閲覧モジュール402がユーザデバイスがIPS102と通信を図る唯一の方法であるということである。閲覧プロキシモジュール326の使用が、アイテム配信システム312とto-doリスト処理モジュール間の転送プロトコル、店舗モジュール318とデバイス側店舗対話モジュール344間の相互作用などの他の通信経路に影響することはない。
C.1.機能概要
このセクションでは、セクションAとセクションBで説明したシステムを使用して実行される様々な管理またはバックエンドタスクに関する情報を提供する。ある管理機能は、システムの様々な側面の動作性能を監視することに。関する。別の管理機能は、システムのパフォーマンステストに関する。別の管理機能は、システム上に存在し得る問題または他の課題の診断に関する。別の管理機能は、ユーザデバイス104が使用する命令を含むコンテンツ(例えばソフトウェア)のアップグレードに関する。上に記載した機能は互いに重なり合う場合がある。例えば、テスト機能と診断機能は動作性能監視機能に依存し得る。アップグレード関連の機能は、命令のアップグレードが適切かどうかを判定するにあたり、テスト機能と診断機能に依存し得る。
図57は、システム200の様々な部分が、それぞれの視点からシステム200の動作性能を監視することを説明する。例えば、ユーザデバイスには、ユーザデバイス104で確認できる動作性能上の問題に関して、システム200の動作性能に関連する様々なイベントを記録するためのデバイス側動作ロギングモジュール5702が含まれる。デバイス側動作ロギングモジュール5702は、動作性能に関する情報を(図4で紹介した)動作ログ416に保存する。
図57に戻ると、この図は、IPS102がサーバサイドアップグレードモジュール5720を含むることを示す。ユーザデバイス104は、(図4の文脈で紹介した)相補的なデバイス側アップグレードモジュール418を含む。概要として、ある場合では、サーバサイドアップグレードモジュール5720は、アップグレードまたは他の情報をユーザデバイス104に落とすため、手作業で操作される。それに対して、デバイス側アップグレードモジュール418は、識別されたアップグレードまたは他の情報を適切な方法でロードする。第二の場合では、サーバサイドアップグレードモジュール5720はユーザデバイスより、自動的に(デバイス側アップグレードモジュール418が提供する)バージョン情報を受け取る。サーバサイドアップグレードモジュール5720は、受け取ったバージョン情報を、現在のソフトウェアのバージョンと比較することができる。サーバサイドアップグレードモジュール5720は、たとえば、ユーザデバイスを最新のものにするため、希望する命令を含むアイテムの完全版かパッチをダウンロードすることにより、いずれかの適切なアップグレードを開始することができる。
D.1.プロビジョニング機能概要
図62は、新規ユーザデバイスを提供するシステム6200をす。より具体的には、システム6200は、工場もしくは工場のような環境で新たに製造されたユーザデバイス6204(またはそれの構成要素)とやりとりをするプロビジョニング機能6202を含む。新しいユーザデバイス6204には、プロビジョニングモジュール6206が含まれ得る。デバイス側プロビジョニングモジュール6206は、プロビジョニング機能6202から臨時問い合わせ先情報6208を受け取り、それには、一つか複数のID番号を含まれ得る。プロビジョニング機能6202はまた、通信環境6210とやりとりして、通信環境6210にプロビジョニング情報6212を提供することができる。プロビジョニング情報6212は、ユーザデバイス6204に保存されている臨時問い合わせ先情報6208に関連する。
図63は、ユーザが、ユーザデバイス104を購入した直後に、アイテムを購入(またはより一般的に、アイテムを取得)できるようにする手順6300を解説する。この手順6300は、少なくとも部分的に、図38のバーチャルアカウントモジュール3816により実行され得る。
図64は、この文脈においてはデバイスアンダーテスト(DUT)と呼ばれる新規ユーザデバイス6402のテストの方法を示す。例えば、この方法は工場または他の製作工程でデバイスをテストするために使用され得る。
