Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Industrial field of use] An electronic library that digitizes information media such as books and books, or can access already digitized information media from multiple remote points and realize operations such as open-access search, browsing, and relocation. It is about the system.

[0002]

[Prior art]

<Prior Art 1> In order to perform a search in the book information search system currently installed in many libraries, the search terminal user himself / herself should use keywords, book titles, author names, etc. suitable for the property of desired book information. Input into the thought terminal,
The server side searches for book information that matches the conditions, and responds to the terminal side. The answered book information is displayed on the display of the terminal as a character string.

<Prior Art 2> A search device that can search a desired book by using image information without performing a keyword-added search of <Prior Art 1> is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-171065. And JP-A-2-6987
It is known as described in JP-A-0. This search device displays an image in the library on the display of the search terminal on the user side via a communication line, and switches the image by the user's operation. It realizes a practical open access search. By using this, it is possible to search for the target book without the user adding the keyword or knowing how to use the search terminal. In addition, by displaying a menu with a multi-branch tree structure for selecting classification items in the previous stage of displaying books, the book information is narrowed down by interactive search.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

<Prior Art 1> A search terminal using a keyword needs to have some knowledge about a search target desired by a user. For the general users of the library, it was very difficult and difficult to remember the keywords. When a keyword having a broad concept is searched, the number of search results becomes enormous. On the other hand, a keyword having a narrow concept has a drawback that desired book information cannot be obtained. Therefore, such a conditional search cannot deal with a user who cannot think of a keyword or a user who wants to search without looking for a particular purpose.

<Prior Art 2> In the open rack search of <Prior Art 2> which solves the above-mentioned problem of the conditional search, the layout cannot be changed by the user himself operating the virtually displayed shelves and books. It was As a result, even when finding a previously searched book, it is necessary to take the same steps, and even if the user's own specialty is the bookshelf, it is the same kind of book, that is, the same arrangement of books, and it is preferable. It was not possible to list all the books together. In addition, at the time of the search, a mark is added to a book that has been searched or read previously, a book that is about to be read, or newly added data included in the category specified in advance by the user. It was not possible to do so, and the merit of virtualization that a virtual book was treated as a user's own book was not effectively utilized. Therefore, before conducting an open shelving search, it is necessary to have a function to set or change the position of the shelves or books by themselves, a function to specify the moving range or route of the user, and a function to add a mark to the books. It was.

An object of the present invention is to change the layout of bookshelves and books and to add marks to books in a book search system that enables open shelves to be searched in a virtually displayed library in order to solve the above problems. It is to obtain a virtual library system that can be realized by simple settings and can be treated as a user's own bookshelf.
