Description

The contents of book of PDF file in internet that offer method & system.

The present invention relates to a method and a system for providing a book content as a PDF file on the Internet. More specifically, the present invention processes a conventional printed matter as a PDF file and provides it on the Internet. It relates to a method of providing a space for authors to write through the Internet, not a medium, a method of providing a service to readers, a method of participation of readers, and a system of providing a sympathetic space between readers and writers.

Conventional works of art have been provided to writers through books made of paper. These works are shortened or disappeared when the publisher disappears or the books are damaged. In addition, the limitations of a book's distribution limit the reader's access to it. There is currently a system for selling these works on the Internet. However, this method also escaped the limitations of books recorded and distributed on paper. There is also a CD (CD) as a concept of electronic publishing. This method also has progress in terms of storage, but it does not escape the limitations in the sympathetic aspects of the artist and the reader or the quantity of the work provided. Nowadays, electronic library is the most advanced way. In terms of storage and provision of data, it can be seen as a step forward. However, some of the specialized works such as thesis are processed and provided to users restricted to specific qualifications. Accordingly, new methods and systems were required to provide the works of various artists in various fields to readers from all walks of life.

The object of the present invention in consideration of the problems of the prior art is to process all the authors' works in the Internet standard format PDF (PDF), extract the abstracts of all the works with the indexing engine and build a meta database with this information on the Internet It is a system and a method of providing a service to directly view the book.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a space for readers and writers to communicate on the Internet. It is a space where authors can do their work, and a space that can be made by prospective writers. It is to provide readers with space to appreciate and comment on the artist's work and to talk directly with the artist.

252: system

254: your computer

According to the present invention, a book is processed into a PDF file, placed in a PDF file server, and the contents of the book are directly delivered to a desired reader through the Internet.

<Hardware (H / W) configuration of the system>

Scanning the book 102 to make an image, and then extracting the metadata of the book from PC (PC) 104 and PD (PDF) files Indexing engine 106, Data Base Host 110 containing meta database information, File Server 108 for storing and managing PDF data, Author's Internet Web server 112 with a search engine that provides a writer's room for award-winning activities 116 and makes the information available to customers via the Internet 118, and a firewall that controls external access. wall 114, and a book information recording PC (PC) 106 equipped with an indexing engine.

＜ Collection of book materials ＞

It is basically based on asking the authors and copyright holders of published books as well as future publications to discuss the use of copyrights for the publication of the work on the Internet. Accepted through the same procedure. Regardless of the type of thesis, publications or publications of universities and research institutes, it collects all materials that can be serviced through the Internet, and collects valuable data without duplicates according to book classification criteria.

<PD F (PDF) file production ＞

PDF files help you to search and view the contents of documents (ASCII) text in the first stage, binary contents in the second stage (text, image, graphic data), and the contents of the literature in the third stage. The state has a three-stage structure that contains font information and hypertext information. By using the compressed file, it is easy to transfer, can be used freely in different systems independent of the system, and can automatically convert the scanned image file into a text file in the electronic document of the existing literature. You can also password-protect the file itself and restrict printing.

In this system, in order to take advantage of the advantages of the PDF file, the published book 302 is scanned 304 and encrypted. Although the PDF file itself has become smaller through compression, the book itself has a huge number of pages, so it's hard to put them all together. Therefore, each page is produced separately so that the loading speed can be increased. The document produced in this way is processed by the character recognition (OCR) 312 and stored in a directory in units of books according to the book classification system defined in the file server (314).

<Indexing engine>

An indexing engine 308 that scans paper media, converts it into an electronic image file, and makes an indexable PDF FILE 306 to automatically index the index information for the book.

It is a feature developed from the existing search engine's search function. It accepts document contents from PDF files and decomposes them into words. Words in the document are compared against a list of stopwords, which is a set of words that don't require an index. If the words in the document are not in the stopwords list, the stems are next. The number of words is calculated because the frequency of words is often used to place the retrieved documents across documents and databases. Finally, relevant information and words such as documents, items in documents, and the total number of words are entered into the database. Then, the database extracts the author, the publisher, the publisher, the year, the table of contents, the search keyword, and the like necessary for the search from the book content in a form that can be input to the meta database 310. This data is used for book retrieval, which is then validated by humans for more accurate classification and processed into more accurate data.

<Save Meta Data and Save PDF File>

Meta data 310 used to retrieve information is data that provides information about the data. One example of metadata is book information and a search card used in a library. This information includes the title, author, subject, classification, bookshelf mark, and so on. In this system, metadata provides information for accessing and searching PDF files, summarizes the contents of the book in PDF, and provides semantic interoperability between PDFs. . It is also important book information by itself. Meta data is extracted from the book by the aforementioned indexing engine 308.

PDF files will be placed in the same directory as a book in a directory organized according to the book classification system. This makes it easier to sort and search stored files.

＜ Search and View Books ＞

The customer retrieves the book via the Web server 208 after member authentication (206) using a computer 254 on the Internet for data on a service server 252 secured by a firewall (210). There are two ways to do this. One is to search by title, author, subject, classification, etc. using the metadata 204, and the other is to search 202 the full text of the PDF file.

The second method puts a lot of load on the system itself, and mainly searches using metadata, but provides a specialized search service as needed.

Both of these methods provide natural language search, which extracts a keyword from the search string and displays the desired data with the keyword.

Once the search is complete, Acrobat Reader 214 can view the book directly online (Internet / Intranet) with a plug-in web browser (Explorer, Netscape) 212.

＜ Local Viewer for Book Download Service ＞

It provides a local viewer that can view PDF files, and provides a download service for users who want to read locally.

At this time, the sales proceeds of the processed book file are paid to the author who is the copyright holder of the file to activate the transaction of the electronic document medium, not the paper print medium.

<Conversion service to other forms>

PDF files can easily add multimedia elements such as sound. Therefore, future data migration is possible.

<Security function>

When the print media is converted to PDF, it is easy to process and distribute this material, but it may be illegally distributed. Therefore, all files are password-protected and printing restrictions are set to limit unauthorized distribution.

Electronic documents containing digital and multimedia information are frequently experienced on the Internet. No matter how good an information system or network environment is, it is useless without the data and information to fill it. In addition, the production and accumulation period of data is much more time-consuming and manpower than the system construction period, and data that is out of standard or lacks generality cannot be recycled.

In the future of digital libraries, one of the important factors to meet the basic purpose of information distribution and sharing is the format of information materials. Currently, various types of formats are used, and the functions and features provided by the format formats also vary. Recently, the most commonly used are PD, PDF, SGML, HTML, XML, XML, etc., but the system adopts the PDF file format.

PDF file is a document file format proposed by Adobe as a common standard document commonly used on the Internet and Internet. PDF file is limited to computer type, operating system, printer type and resolution before the Internet. It is a document type designed to be read and output anywhere without a document. PD (PDF) is a solution that can serve as a paper print on the Internet, serving electronic document publishing. PDF documents provide various document formats in various system environments, and if you want to share them, if you want to send and display them as compressed material of document material, you can send a specific document to a remote site and want high quality printing. Is used in the case.

The system uses these characteristics of PDF files to build data in building electronic libraries. Authors can use this system as a repository that can safely and permanently preserve their works without leaving the company, and readers can view the desired materials at any time through the Internet. Prospective writers can also easily make use of this system without having to go through specific interest groups or publishers, and can easily measure readers' reactions to their new works through the Internet, whether existing or preliminary writers. . In addition, the collection collection problem of existing small libraries can be solved in large part using the built-in database.
