Description

Auto PDF multi converting database system}

The purpose of the present invention is to divide existing contents into medium titles, subtitles, or more units according to the change of consumer's tendency to purchase or provide only a part of books in e-book service that sells and provides book contents using PDF file. The e-book market is transforming the environment to sell and provide each PDF file. One-click PDF files classified from previous methods that had to manually convert all word process documents used in electronic publishing to PDF files by whole document, title and subtitle and save them in the database. The cost of the PDF file service (e-book service) is reduced by converting and storing the data in a database.

The present invention is a process required for the PDF conversion process that serves as the most basic cost in the e-book business that provides personal PC users (hereinafter referred to as clients) research data including a book or a paper through a PDF viewer.

Previous e-book services have adopted Adobe's PDF document format, which provides a picture image file format rather than a normal word processor document format to prevent piracy.

These PDF documents have been converted into PDF documents by outputting from edited documents (word process documents) previously prepared for editing, and have been manually stored in a database. Therefore, manual methods have always been common in order to convert existing documents into PDF documents and store them in a database.

In addition, the current e-book service converts the document into a single PDF file, but it is changed to an environment that needs to be divided and serviced by the entire document, the medium title, or the subtitle according to the change in consumer tendency. The hassle of splitting PDF files into separate files and converting each file into a database by hand. Therefore, the cost of converting each file into a PDF file and storing it in a database is increasing more rapidly than converting / saving it into a single PDF file, and a major obstacle to the activation of an e-book service through the PDF file. It is becoming.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, one-click conversion of the entire document, medium title and sub-title PDF files in a specific word process file, and automatically converts the PDF file stored in the database PDF The purpose is to reduce the conversion and storage costs.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first step of opening a document in each word processor and instructing a conversion, inputting a page and a title of a part to be converted in a conversion option, inputting a corresponding keyword, and a database target. It is an automatic PDF multi-conversion program and database automation system that includes two steps of inputting and three steps of pressing a conversion button to generate a PDF file of each page and automatically storing it as a database target.

This process opens a word process file to be converted on a computer with data inputted as shown in FIG. 1, then runs a conversion program, and inputs the name of the data (40) and a storage location in a large category (50) (50). And press the Convert (60) button to convert the opened file to PDF. If there is a middle classification, after entering the major classification, click on the middle classification (20), input the page corresponding to each middle classification (70), enter the name of the data corresponding to the middle classification (80), and then convert (90). Clicking the button will automatically convert the large category file and the entered medium category file into a PDF file. If there is a small classification, after entering the major classification and the middle classification, click on the small classification (30), enter the page corresponding to each small classification (100), enter the name of the material corresponding to the small classification (110), each of the small classification After entering the keyword (120) suitable for the data and click the Convert (130) button, the files of large, medium, and small categories are automatically converted to PDF.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of classifying a word processor file into large, medium, and small and converting it into PDF in one click. More than one classification option may be installed for various classifications.

In this manner, the corresponding document of FIG. 2 is multi-converted by the conversion program 250 to make each PDF file 220, keywords are set 230 for each file, and finally, the converted PDF file is set in FIG. It proceeds based on database automation 260 which stores 240 in a storage server 50 by a database automation system in a storage place 50.

3 is a flowchart showing a path in which each converted PDF file is stored in a database server in a computer connected to the Internet or a network.

At least one computer (330, 340, 350, ...) in which the PDF file conversion program is installed must be connected to at least one database server (310, 320, ...) using the Internet or a network. When the conversion program is classified into large / medium / small on the computer equipped with the conversion program and converted through the conversion system, the conversion data is transferred to the database server through the network or the Internet and automatically stored in the corresponding database.

As an embodiment of the invention, there are three subclasses with introductions 1 to 2, main pages 3 to 4, conclusions 5 to 6, and classification 1, classification 2, classification, 3, classification, 4, Class 5 A case of converting a file having six subclasses composed of Class 6 will be described with reference to FIG.

The document NAS001 (410) to be converted is opened by a pre-written word processor to execute the conversion program. First, the data name 520 is designated as NAS001, and the storage location 530 is designated as NAS001 in the large category 510 screen. This storage location 530 is a storage database location to be stored after the file is converted to PDF. Then, the middle classification 540 is clicked to set the page number 550 into which the introductory 420 of the document is to be entered, and the data name 560 which is the converted name of the introductory 420. Main body 440 and conclusion 480 are also set as above. Finally, the subclass 570 is clicked to set the page number 580 to enter the category 1 430, which is the subclass of the document, and the data name 590, which is the converted name of the class 1 430. And the most important keyword 560 of the classification 1 (430) is input. One or more keywords may be inputted, and a plurality of keywords may be inputted with ",". Finally, click the Convert button to convert the set documents into PDF documents.

The converted documents are automatically stored in the large classification database 620, the middle classification database 630, and the small classification database 640 in the storage location 530 set above. The database determines the database input name 620 and the title of the document or book 660 based on the set data name 520, and the keywords 600 set in the sub-category 570 are automatically set in the document. Will be.

Keywords are used together with document titles, data names, etc. when searching a database. Keywords applied in subclasses are automatically accumulated and set in the subclasses that contain the subclasses. For example, if the keyword 600 is set to "a" and "me" in the classification 1 (430) and the classification 2 (440) included in the introductory classification 420, the introductory classification 420 may be included in the introductory classification ( Both "A" and "I" described in 680 are set as keywords. In this manner, the NAS001 document 410, which is a major category, is automatically set up with all the keywords specified in the minor category.

The present invention as described above has the effect of reducing the cost in proceeding e-book business using the PDF file by reducing the manpower and time compared to the conventional conversion method.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the operations of classifying file 1 710 into a file 710 with all contents, a middle class file 720, a small class file 730, and the like are all manually performed (worker directly via computer. Conversion). The process of making the classified files into PDF files 740, 750, 760, ..., 820, respectively, is also performed manually.

In addition, setting keywords 830, 840, 850,..., 910 to the PDF files thus converted is also performed manually. Finally, even if you convert each PDF file like this, you need to specify each database target and save it manually (920, 930, 940,…, 990) in order to save it in the database. The conversion cost is drastically increased than when stored in the database 1000.

As a result, in order to split an arbitrary file into an e-book service, it is inevitable that the conversion cost, that is, a large cost burden.

However, the PDF conversion and database storage method according to the process of the present invention can produce as many PDF files as the desired file by the person who wants to convert in a single process, as shown in FIG. The manpower and time administered can be dramatically reduced. Insert the file 1 (1010) into the automatic converter (1020), enter the information (file name, page information, keywords, database target) at once, and press the conversion button from the page classification (720) to database storage (920) It is done in one stop. That is, the operations of 1020, 1030, 1040, and 1050 are performed all together until the database storage 1050 based on the automatic converter 1020 of FIG.

Therefore, in case of manual conversion, four step manual operations (file classification, conversion, keyword insertion, database target setting) are added for each file. However, when the process of the present invention is introduced, only one step of input cancels all remaining steps. Can be. As a result, the existing method should add 4 steps to the file to be divided (number of files to be divided by 4 steps), but the present invention can be completed in one step regardless of the number of files. The manpower and time administered can be dramatically reduced.
