Hereinafter, a method of navigating e-book content in the
5 is a flowchart of contents for reconstructing navigation information of electronic book content.
E-book content navigation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, first, open the e-book content package to be read in the e-book viewer of the e-book terminal (S510), the e-book to be read from the
If the navigation file exists, the navigation file is analyzed to obtain second navigation information, and the obtained second navigation information is analyzed (S530).
Next, it is determined whether the first navigation information exists in the e-book content (S540), and if present, the navigation level is set based on this.
In this case, when the navigation file does not exist, the embodiment of the present invention may set the navigation level based only on the first navigation information (S550). On the other hand, when the navigation file exists, the navigation level may be set by utilizing both the first and second navigation information (S550).
Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the first navigation information may be read using a nav tag, and the mapping relationship between the read e-book content and the first navigation information must be maintained.
Here, the first navigation information is a Table of Content (TOC) included in the e-book content, and the second navigation information corresponds to information included in the navigation file provided by the standard of the e-book content.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, navigation information may be set and used in a text sentence and a single media unit in the e-book content. For this purpose, the navigation level is set by analyzing the first and second navigation information (S560).
The navigation level may be freely set according to the policy and the development method of the e-book viewer.
The navigation level may be set in units of one or more of a prolog, title, section, chapter, section, subsection, sentence, media, and page. For example, if the level of the navigation target information can be divided into title, sub, chapter, section, subsection, and sentence units, set the navigation level to 6 levels, which is the total number of units, or between the entire pages and chapters of the e-book content. In addition, the navigation level can be set automatically by adjusting the ratio programmatically according to the ratio of pages between sections.
The method of setting the navigation level is not limited thereto, and the navigation level may be set in various embodiments.
If the navigation level is set, the navigation information corresponding to the navigation level is reconstructed (S570).
The navigation information may be reconstructed by collecting a navigation level corresponding to a navigation level criterion and setting navigation movement position information to be displayed on the
6 is a diagram for describing an example of a movement unit of navigation set according to a navigation level.
Referring to FIG. 6, based on the reconstructed information for navigating e-book content to a sentence level,
By reconfiguring the navigation information, various output information combinations may be provided, and information exposed by the user's setting may be selected in the e-book viewer. Alternatively, only information designated according to the policy of the e-book viewer may be exposed.
When the process of reconstructing the navigation information is completed, the e-book content is output to the
Hereinafter, a process of navigating e-book content will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.
7 is a flowchart of a navigation process. 8 is an exemplary diagram of a touch interface for a navigation function.
The e-book content navigation method according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include navigating the e-book content based on the reconstructed navigation information.
First, after confirming the current position of the e-book content displayed on the display module 140 (S705), it is determined whether the current position is the last portion of the e-book content (S710). If it is determined that the last portion of the e-book content is output, the output of the e-book content is terminated (S760).
In contrast, when the middle portion of the e-book content is being output, the corresponding portion is maintained to be output (S715).
Next, it is determined whether the reconstructed navigation information exists (S720), and if it does not exist, the navigation is not possible, and thus, the process waits until the navigation information is reconstructed and checks the current position of the e-book content again. Goes.
In contrast, when the reconstructed navigation information exists, the navigation function may be started (S725).
Next, a selection input for the navigation level is received from the user or the navigation level is automatically set (S730). At this time, if the navigation level is not selected or automatically set by the user, it is again determined whether the reconstructed navigation information exists.
On the other hand, when the navigation level is selected by the user, the user taps (Tap), double taps (Double Tap), or long presses a specific position of the
When a popup menu for setting the navigation level is output and a navigation level is selected, a slide bar for navigation navigation or a navigation menu such as +/− may be output. Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 8, a navigation area for receiving a drag operation may be output.
When receiving the selection input for the navigation level, the reconstructed navigation information is output (S735), and the touch interface for moving position selection is activated (S740).
After the touch interface is activated, a control for navigation may be started as the horizontal or vertical specific region of the
Control for navigation may be started together as the
As the control for such a navigation is started, a navigation area may be set in the
In this case, the navigation level is determined according to the drag speed, and the navigation movement area may be searched to correspond to the navigation level according to the speed of the drag operation.
For example, dragging at the fastest speed provides one level of navigation, while dragging at the slowest speed provides N-level navigation.
Next, when the user selects a specific region from the searched navigation movement region (S745), the position information of the e-book content before the movement is stored (S750), and the user moves to the selected specific region (S755).
The user may move to a specific area corresponding to the selected navigation level by lightly pressing or long pressing the screen, for example.
On the other hand, in the above description, steps S510 to S755 may be further divided into additional steps or combined into fewer steps, according to an embodiment of the present invention. In addition, some steps may be omitted as necessary, and the order between the steps may be changed. In addition, even if omitted, the contents already described in FIGS. 1 to 4 may be applied to the e-book contents navigation method of FIGS. 5 to 8.
According to any one of the embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to search the contents of the vast amount of e-book content, the user can be provided with a navigation function that can easily move to the desired location.
In addition, even if the position movement is incorrectly made by the navigation, the original position is stored, so the user can easily move to the position previously read.
On the other hand, the e-book content navigation method in the
Although the methods and systems of the present invention have been described in connection with specific embodiments, some or all of their components or operations may be implemented using a computer system having a general purpose hardware architecture.
The above description of the present invention is intended for illustration, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be easily modified in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. will be. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive.
