Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scholarly article data display device for displaying scholarly article data retrieved from a scholarly article database, and in particular, it is possible to easily compare and contrast the text of a text and its related information. The present invention relates to an academic paper data display device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Searching for academic papers is quick and easy,
Databases of academic papers are being developed so that symmetrical papers can be searched over a wide range. This database makes it easy to search by searching for keywords or author names in the subject of academic papers.

The applicant has already filed Japanese Patent Application No. 3-207495.
In order to further facilitate the search, a list of figures / tables in academic papers, and the list of figures / tables and explanations of figures / tables is displayed on the display screen. We propose a academic paper database system that allows you to select the desired figure / table from the list and display the contents of the selected figure / table on the screen.

[0004]

However, the conventional academic paper data system is based on a personal computer, and the standard display for a personal computer having a resolution of about 640 × 400 dots is used as it is.
For example, 16 dots can display only 40 characters and about 20 lines, and when displaying text data, not only can it be displayed with 16 dots, which is very difficult to read, but for example, the text of a paper and related information can be displayed. Insufficient ability to display at the same time. Therefore, when displaying related information such as footnotes, references, charts, and mathematical formulas, it is necessary to sacrifice the body text displayed on the display and display it on top of it. In contrast, it was very inconvenient because I could not see related information.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is possible to display the text and related information thereof on the same display at the same time. Therefore, it is easy to compare the academic papers. An object is to provide a data display device.

[0006]

According to the present invention, in a scientific paper data display device for displaying scientific paper data retrieved from a scientific paper database, a high resolution display is provided, and a main display area is provided on the high resolution display. The above problem is achieved by providing a sub display area for simultaneously displaying information related to the information displayed in the main display area.

Further, in addition to the high resolution display,
The index display area is provided to display representative bibliographic information of retrieved articles.

In addition to the high resolution display,
A menu display area for displaying a menu for switching the display screen is provided.

Further, the high resolution display is provided independently of the standard display for searching, and the number of horizontally displayed characters in the main display area is substantially equal to the number of horizontally displayed characters in the standard display.

Further, a title list of retrieved articles is displayed in the sub display area, and an abstract of the article referred to from the title list display is displayed in the main display area.
All of the bibliographic information, the table of contents, or the table of figures is displayed.

Further, the table of contents of retrieved articles is displayed in the sub-display area, and the table referenced from the table of contents is displayed in the main display area.

Further, the main text of the retrieved article is displayed in the main display area, and the sub-display area is displayed.
Any one of the table of contents, figures and tables or footnotes referred to from the text of the main body is displayed.

[0013]

In the present invention, for example, the resolution is 1 because the standard display for retrieval used in the personal computer equipped with the academic paper database lacks the ability to display.
A high resolution display of 664 × 1200 dot (about 100 dpi) class or high definition class is used for display. This makes it possible to simultaneously display the main display area and the sub-display area that displays information related to the information displayed in the main display area on the same display. For example, referring to the text, You can easily see the search results by looking at the relevant information.

In particular, when the high resolution display is further provided with an index display area for displaying typical bibliographic information of retrieved articles, the displayed articles can be easily identified.

Further, in addition to the high resolution display,
When the menu display area for displaying the menu for switching the display screen is provided, the display screen can be easily switched.

If the high-resolution display is provided independently of the standard display for searching and the number of characters displayed in the horizontal direction of the main display area is set to be substantially equal to the number of characters displayed in the horizontal direction of the standard display, the standard display is used. The main display area can be easily compared, and the data conversion for the main display of the high-resolution display is also easy.

Further, a title list of retrieved articles is displayed in the sub display area, and an abstract of the article referred to from the title list display is displayed in the main display area.
If any one of all bibliographic information, table of contents or figure / table table of contents is displayed, the title list of retrieved articles and abstracts of articles referred to from the title list display, all bibliographic information, table of contents or You can easily recognize the relationship between figures and tables of contents.

Further, when the figure / table contents of retrieved articles are displayed in the sub-display area and the figure / table referenced from the figure / table contents is displayed in the main display area, the retrieved articles are displayed. It is possible to easily recognize the relationship between the table of contents and the table referenced from the table of contents.

Further, the main text of the retrieved article is displayed in the main display area, and the sub-display area is displayed.
When any one of the table of contents, figure or footnote referred to by the body text is displayed, the table of contents referred to by the body text while reading the body text,
You can easily refer to the charts or footnotes.
