Description

Manufacturing and distributing method of digital newspaper article {Manufacturing and distributing method of digital news articles}

The present invention relates to a method for providing a newspaper article to a consumer online. More specifically, by weighting each unit article and managing each unit article individually, the consumer can most efficiently manage accurate articles online or on a network. The present invention relates to a method for enabling retrieval and merchandizing for each unit article, or for allowing a consumer to view and output the unit article in the same form as an offline newspaper.

The production process of the newspaper is largely subject to article writing, production meeting, editing, typesetting, images, transmission and printing process, Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the production process of the newspaper according to the prior art and the distribution to the consumer.

Article materials such as various text articles, photographs and videos created and sent by the reporter 11 are selected and designed by the production meeting 12 presided by the editor-in-chief of the media concerned and attended by the editors in charge of each. Subsequently, when the article and the photo are passed to the editing step (13), the article title is compressed to enhance the message effect on each side, and the work such as the photo and graphic to help the article understand and the design for harmony with other articles are performed. Through this, the image design of each article and the image design for each face are made. Through this process, the article is finally titled and placed on the page. Next, the screening process (14) is performed using an image editor such as a computerized typesetting system (CTS), and then the image process (15) and the transmission process (16) are processed so that pictures or graphics can be published in a newspaper. It is only after the printing (17) to go through the process of delivery and delivery.

In recent years, each press has converted the entire page of the offline newspaper into a PDF file (21) and the like and provides it online.

However, in the conventional method of producing and providing newspapers, the correction of articles, etc.

There is a problem that it is difficult to effectively cope with the change situation. That is, in the typesetting process, since the image editor stores information on articles for each side of a newspaper, when a specific article on the side is deleted, modified, or edited, it is inconvenient to go through a new typesetting process again. In general, in the production process of newspapers, articles are frequently changed according to breaking news and follow-up articles.

In addition, the conventional method has a problem that it is difficult to produce a variety of article content that can be distributed online by use. In the past, the business structure of publishing and distributing newspapers was all in the process of producing paper newspapers. However, due to the rapid expansion of the online environment, the distribution of individual digital article contents is emerging as a new business model, which supports the production and distribution of digital contents. There is a need for a digital platform to do this.

Also, if you search for articles reflecting user queries on portal sites or web search engines, all the articles that are more useless than the ones you want are searched for, and users can search for the article content and select or repeat search to reach the desired article information. It is very uneconomical and inconvenient to do it. Even if you find the article you want to do this, you will be missing important information from offline newspapers, such as the size of the article, the location of the page (layout), relevant articles, photos, graphs or charts, and only textual information. The display has the disadvantage that the information value as a newspaper loses a lot.

In addition, depending on the article, the user often needs to print the article in the offline newspaper exactly as it is on the screen, a file, or a printer. Currently, the image output service provided by each portal site or media company provides a per-article article. It does not support output. In order to solve this inconvenience, Patent No. 10-715320 and Patent Application Publication No. 10-2005-61238 disclose a method of outputting an article of interest in each unit article in the form of an offline page. After printing, convert the entire page into an image file and calculate the location information by clicking or dragging the range of each article on the entire page with the mouse to output the relevant articles. There is still a problem that cannot be counted.

The present invention was derived to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is not to generate and manage digital newspapers for each unit of the related art, and thus, a problem of not actively coping with changes, deletions, and changes of articles. In order to solve this problem, the weight of each unit article is assigned to individual management to maximize the utilization of the unit article.

Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the search of articles that are assigned weights and codes for each unit article, and to easily measure and evaluate the commercial value of the articles.

An additional object of the present invention is an article packaging (article) that enables the user to easily output individual unit articles in the form of offline newspaper pages as well as text information of the articles when the user searches for each weighted unit article (article). packaging is possible.

In the present invention as a means for achieving the object of the present invention described above, in the method for producing and supplying a digital newspaper using a computer typewriter system, the operation of the press server in the editing or typesetting process using the computer typewriter system of the press Weighting each unit article by the apparatus; Assigning an identification code to each unit article weighted by a computing device and storing the identification code in a database of the press company; And transmitting to an online user using a markup language including content information and metadata information about each weighted unit article. It is performed based on the title, body and image information.In case of weighting based on the title, the weight is calculated based on the position of the title, the existence of the subtitle, the number of subtitles, and the size of the title. If the weight is given based on the size of the letters, the number of articles, the number of letters, the presence of related articles, and the number of related articles, and if the weight is given based on the image information, the existence of images and the image It provides a method for producing and supplying a digital newspaper, characterized in that to calculate the weight based on the size of.
Here, the storing of each weighted unit article may further include converting each unit article into an image file in the form of an offline newspaper page and storing it in a database.
At this time, it is preferable that at least one of the text information of the unit article and the unit article image information converted into an image file are provided according to the user's selection. .
Information about texts and images of the weighted unit article may be distributed online by a markup language based on XML, and the markup language based on XML is NewsML.

According to the solution of the present invention having the above-described configuration is managed by the individual unit articles weighted in the newspaper production step, article distribution step and article search step of the press, it is easy to modify and manage the article for each unit article, It is easy to be compatible with NewsML, which is a standard for distributing articles between media and telecommunication companies, and has the advantage of accurate and efficient retrieval of articles.

In addition, the accuracy of search for weighted unit articles is high, and accordingly, the economic value of article content based on the weight of each unit article is reasonable. There is an advantage.

In addition, from the user's point of view, the search for accurate and important articles is quick and accurate, so it is very economical and easy to group articles, and the text, related articles, images, videos, etc. of the searched articles are simultaneously provided. It is easy to access, and if necessary, it is very convenient to output or store unit articles in the same form as newspaper pages distributed offline without additional equipment or effort.

In addition, since it can be switched from the brand marketing method of the newspaper to the content marketing method, there is an advantage that the added value of the newspaper content can be increased.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in more detail the technical spirit of the present invention. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a process for producing and distributing a digital newspaper according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a process for producing and distributing a digital newspaper according to the present invention.

As shown in Figure 3, the production and distribution process of the newspaper according to the present invention largely, the step of collecting the necessary articles, such as on-site reporters (ST1), the production to determine the editing direction with the individual articles collected and transmitted A meeting step ST2, an editing step ST3, a typesetting step ST4, a weighting step for each typesetting unit article ST5, a code generation step for each weighted unit article step ST6, Storing each unit article generating the code in a database DB of the media company server 150 (ST7), distributing the article (ST8), and outputting the article to a screen or a printer (ST9). It is configured by. In addition, in order to output unit articles in the same form as a newspaper page on the offline, the step of converting each unit article into an image file such as PDF (ST10) is included.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, in the article writing step 110, a reporter, such as a field reporter, transmits a text, an image, a video, an audio file, etc. of the article to a corresponding media company, which is required from articles transmitted at the production meeting 120. The article will be selected. Up to this point, it is the same as the conventional newspaper article creation method. Next, each article is handed over to the editors to go through the editing process (130).

Subsequently, a typesetting process 140 is performed. Currently, most media companies perform typesetting by using an image editor, which is a computer program, and a computerized typesetting system (CTS) is representative. In the present invention, the digital version of the CTS is to be directed to build a digital newspaper editing process system, so-called DTS (Digitalized Typesetting system). In the DTS of the present invention, a computer system is used to design and place layouts around each ground and unit articles. At this time, in the present invention, as well as managing the article information for the entire page of the typeset newspaper, that is, the corresponding page as well as the operation to manage the article information for each unit article. That is, in the typesetting process, the weight is calculated by the calculation device 152 in consideration of various weighting factors for each unit article, the identification code is assigned to the corresponding unit article, and stored in the database 154. In the drawing, reference numeral 160 denotes a distribution stage of a newspaper article, and 170 denotes each demand source of a newspaper article.

The weighting of each unit article is performed in the following manner. 4 is an exemplary diagram for showing an example of assigning a weight to each unit article according to the present invention. The weight according to each corresponding article may be given, for example, in consideration of the existence and size of a title, a text, a photo, and the like. That is, the position, size, number of characters, and the presence, number, size, and number of subtitles 212 and 214 of the titles 210 and 210a may be considered, and the number of columns and the number of characters in the article body 220 and 220a may be considered. The number of relevant articles may be considered. In addition, the presence of images such as photographs 230, graphs and charts, sizes of photographs, descriptions of photographs 232, etc. may be considered in the article. The weight value for each weighting element is assigned by calculating each weighting element in the computing device, that is, the position and size of the title or the photograph. For example, the operation apparatus may calculate the position, size, etc. for each weighting element, compare the values with the predefined values for each weighting element, calculate their relative values, and then synthesize them.

It is preferable to consider whether the position of the title 210 is located on which side of the entire newspaper and on which side in the space. For example, the weight is given in consideration of whether it is published on the first page of the newspaper or other cultural pages, and if it is on the first page of the newspaper, considering whether it is the upper left or the lower right of the first page.

The weight may also be given differently according to politics, economy, society, culture, reader or expert column, feature articles, and the like.

Such weighting and calculation is performed in the computing device 152 of the media company's server, and each weighted unit article is stored in the media company's database 154 after an identification code is assigned. In addition, in this typesetting process, it is preferable to add an operation 156 to image each typed unit article as it appears on a newspaper page. In this case, it is preferable to convert the image to an image file having an extension of PDF or the like. The unit article converted into an image file is stored in the database 158 of the server 150.

Usually, newspapers produced by the press need to be revised and changed several times, and in the past, the work of changing the previous articles by presiding at the production meeting several times a day to reflect the new article information coming in at that time is necessary. Through the process of newly editing and typesetting the entire page, the process was very complicated and inconvenient. However, in the present invention, since each unit article is weighted and managed in the typesetting process, only the necessary unit articles are called out and deleted or reprocessed in the reediting and typesetting process. have. Conventionally, the article information is managed in units of pages, and in the process of re-editing and reprinting, the previous article information is deleted and only the information about the newly edited article is managed. Even if the previous article information will be present in the press server as it is, it is possible to modify and reinforce in the subsequent process. For example, when the weighted unit lyrics are stored, the location information of each unit article may also be stored in the newspaper page. The position information refers to the position of the title, the position of the text, the position of the graphic data such as a photograph, and the like. It is produced by One of the simplest ways to refer to the location information is to remember the location information of each corner of the rectangle since the title, the text and the picture are all rectangular. In the case of later revision of each unit article in which location information is stored along with weights, even if there is a change in the article contents of each unit article, the layout of the typesetting on the original newspaper page is not changed, and only the contents of the article are modified. There is no need to edit and typeset from scratch, which is very convenient.

Thus, each unit article that is weighted and stored is distributed where it is needed, and each unit article that is weighted according to the present invention is also very advantageous in the process of distributing articles. That is, each unit article, which is weighted according to the present invention and individually stored, may be distributed to other communication companies or supplied to various search portals using a markup language such as XML (Extensible Markup Language). Recently, NewsML based on XML is widely adopted as an international news standard, and each unit article information stored by the present invention can be efficiently transmitted and distributed by such markup language. In other words, NewsML is an international standard that enables news content to be represented effectively according to a predefined document structure, which can distinguish various types of content such as text, video, sound, graphics, and photos. Having information only makes it acceptable. This XML-based markup language can convey information about news content. The exchange of news content is not only the content of the content itself, but also information describing the content (called metadata), and how to process the information. It is exchanged and distributed along with information on whether it is (article management information), and information about the route and process through which the content is delivered. Therefore, according to the present invention, when each unit article stored in the press server is exchanged and distributed, the metadata includes image information such as a weight value of the article, related article information, and a related photo. Therefore, when a user searches for a necessary article and outputs it on the screen, the user can output image information such as a photo together with the related article of the corresponding article. As such, in the present invention, article grouping is possible for each unit article. Here, it is preferable that the relevant article attached to each unit article is given a wall code that is correlated with the original article in the identification code generation step.

In addition, in the present invention, since each unit article is converted into an image file and stored in the form of an offline newspaper, it is preferable to associate information about the image file with metadata. For example, as the metadata of NewsML, it uses the tag 'AssociatedWith' of the management layer named NewsItem to contain information about the location of the image file converted. Then, the user can easily output not only the text of the article but also the same shape on the newspaper page in the search and use of the article. Therefore, in the present invention, article packaging can be provided by providing information on a text article together with a PDF file, which is an image file, and the like, so that the article scrap automation can be implemented.

5 is a simplified diagram of a screen output frame for showing a form of a search result for each weight that is searched according to a user's query and output by the present invention. When a user makes a query for an article to be searched using a web search engine, the web search engine searches for an article corresponding to the query and outputs a search result on the screen. As shown in the information lists 310, 320, and 330, the list is based on weights. That is, the weight given to each unit article in the web search engine (weights, for example, rather than assigning a predetermined number, but elements constituting the article, ie, images such as text, titles, photos, graphics, location information, and time of the article) , Value values are generated for each variable of meta information such as related articles, and the combined values of these values become weights of the articles). Therefore, the user can access the desired article by clicking the articles in order from the top. In this case, the article 310 located at the top of the search result output screen is likely to have a top article on one side of a newspaper page of each press. The ranking of each search result list is ranked by the articles of different presses and is displayed on the screen. This is because even though each press deals with the same article, the weighted value is different depending on how much the article is covered. Therefore, the economic value of the article information can also be said that the article 310 located at the top of the screen is the most important and accordingly the price of commercial advertising will vary. Users will likely click on more articles at the top, so the cost of impressions or other commercials will be determined accordingly. Therefore, the value of the advertisement is changed according to the importance of the article so that the economic value of each unit article can be determined relatively accurately and reasonably.

6 is a block diagram illustrating a form in which an individual article searched and clicked by a user is output according to the present invention. If the user selects from the list of search results found above and clicks on the article, relevant information such as text, photos or graphics of the article is displayed on the screen. In this case, when the user needs to output the file or printer in the same shape as the newspaper page offline, the user can directly output the article converted into an image by clicking on the PDF. In order to output the converted image file to PDF or the like, it is necessary to generate a button necessary at a position such as the bottom of the searched article content and click it with a mouse. Conventionally, the methods of outputting the article in the same shape as the newspaper page have been suggested, but this is called by calling the entire page of the newspaper converted into PDF separately and dragging the range of the articles of interest in the page with the mouse. There is a problem that it is very troublesome and inconvenient because it is a format that is output by inputting information. However, in the present invention, since the image file converted with the article is provided, the image file such as the changed PDF can be immediately output as the article is searched.
