TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a digital textbook production method and a digital textbook production system using the digital textbook production system,

The present invention relates to a digital textbook production method and a digital textbook production system using the same, and more particularly, to a digital textbook production method using a template and a digital textbook production system using the method.

Recently, the use of digital textbooks is increasing. Digital textbooks are the next generation education and learning tools that digitize contents of textbooks, input them on electronic terminals, and let learners see them through the screen.

However, although the spread of digital textbooks is increasing, it is common that the method of producing such digital textbooks is not much different from the conventional method of publishing paper textbooks. The existing paper textbooks have already been subjected to electronic publishing using computers, and the contents of actual digital textbooks are not so different from those of existing paper textbooks.

As for the production of digital textbooks, templates are used in the same way as other electronic documents. A template is a form that contains frequently used forms, and authors modify it based on given templates and use it in various forms.

However, since these templates have limitations to reflect all the details, it is common to modify the digital textbooks in the production process at the same time.

After a template prepared in the data input process is used, a template having a format different from that of the first template is formed. However, there are many restrictions to reuse the templates that are newly modified in the modification process.

Therefore, it is necessary to search for a solution to make it easier for authors to make a more efficient method of producing digital textbooks.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a digital textbook production method using a template.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a digital textbook production method according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing a digital textbook production system according to the embodiment of FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a digital textbook production method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes selecting one of stored templates stored in a template storage unit (S100), editing the selected storage template to form a user defined template (S200), and the user-edited template is stored in the template storage unit (S300).

In addition, the digital textbook production system 100 according to the present embodiment includes a content storage unit 110 to which contents of production of digital textbook contents are transferred, a template storage unit 120 to store a template, an input unit 140 to receive content data, And an editing unit 130 for editing digital textbook contents. In addition, a user-defined template forming unit 150 for forming a user-defined template, and a component selecting unit 160 for selecting a content component and a template component.

In step S100 of selecting one of the stored templates stored in the template storage unit, basic templates are stored in advance in the template storage unit 120, and the author selects a desired template and starts to produce digital textbook contents.

In the step S200 of editing the selected storage template to form a user defined template, the template selected in the previous step is modified to form a unique user defined template used only by the author. As a method of forming the user-defined template, there is a method of directly editing the selected template by an author or a user and modifying the selected template into a desired user-defined template. In addition, there is a method in which a user-defined template is automatically formed through a correction operation performed in the process of inputting content data of a digital textbook content by an author or user substantially using the selected template.

In the step S300 of storing the user-edited template in the template storage unit, the newly created user-defined template is stored again in the template storage unit 120 so that it can be reused when the next digital textbook content is produced.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a step of forming a template in the digital textbook producing method according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 of the present invention in more detail.

Referring to FIG. 3, the digital textbook production method according to the present embodiment includes selecting one of stored templates stored in the template storage unit (S100), editing the selected stored template to form a user defined template (S200 And a step S300 of storing the user-defined edited template in the template storage unit. In the step S200 of forming the user defined template, the content data is input to the selected storage template through the input unit, And editing the stored template by modifying the template in the step of editing the textbook content (S211) and inputting the content data by the user (S221).

More particularly, the method further comprises a step (S210) of loading the selected template before the step S211 of editing the digital textbook content, and as a result of the step S211 of editing the digital textbook content, And the step of creating and completing the content (S213). In addition, as a result of the step of modifying the template (S221), the step (S223) further includes the step of creating the user defined template.

Ideally, authors or users will make and use all the templates that will be used during the planning phase, but the placement of text or other multimedia material, the size of each paragraph and the size of the font, and the relative placement relationships among these components, It is often the case that a completed template can be produced. Therefore, in order to use it in a later work step, it is necessary to modify the template that was edited back from the beginning to be used for the next editing. It is possible to consider a method of forming a template by deleting input data one by one. However, when the capacity of a template increases, it takes a lot of resources to manually delete one piece of data manually. Therefore, by integrating them into one process and automatically forming a user-defined template, a user or a user can use the user-defined template more efficiently.

4 is a conceptual diagram showing a template used in the digital textbook production method according to the embodiment of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4, a template 210 to be used is selected from the templates already prepared and stored in the template storage unit 120. The template 210 thus selected can be loaded in the editor. The selected template 210 includes a title area 211, a first body area 221, a second body area 222, and an image area 231. In this case, Not only the areas within the template 210 are set differently according to each template, but also various formats such as the size, font, color, and style of the text corresponding to each area are different for each area in the template Can be set.

In a method using a general template, editing is carried out by selecting a template and then directly placing text or various images or multimedia data to be placed in the template at a proper place by the author. However, in the process of inputting such data, it is necessary to modify the template according to the content of each content data, and the template is modified substantially in a large number of times. Therefore, in this embodiment, template modification in the data input process is memorized to form a user defined template.

5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating digital textbook contents produced using the template of FIG.

5, the digital textbook contents 310 includes a title 311, a first body text 321, a second body text 322, and an image 331. [ Although the same type and number of regions are included in the template in the template of Fig. 4, the designated regions may be further added or deleted.

Except for the title 311 and the first body 321, the second body 322 and the image 331 have been changed in size and position, respectively. The size and position of the second main body area and the image area have been changed due to the need to be set differently according to the content of the corresponding data. Furthermore, if necessary, the type of each area and the style of text located in the area can be modified.

The modification of the template generated on the data input may be separately filtered to form a user-defined template. The digital textbook production system 100 categorizes corresponding components when the template is loaded in the template storage unit 120 as template components and processes them, and when new content data is separately edited by the author, And processed. Accordingly, when contents are input by an author or a user and a template is modified, a separate user-defined template can be extracted by filtering each component.

In addition, when necessary, the author can designate the components corresponding to the template separately so that the author can recognize it at the time of production, so that the work of the author or the worker can be made easier.

6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a user-defined template formed by the digital textbook production method according to the embodiment of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 6, a user defined template 310t formed in the process of inputting content data is shown. The user-defined template 310t includes elements having the same format as the digital textbook content shown in FIG. The user defined template 310t includes a title area 311t, a first body area 321t, a second body area 322t and an image area 331t. The style of the text includes the same contents as the digital textbook contents shown in Fig.

Therefore, the author or the user can extract the modification of the template made during the operation as it is and use it again for the production of the other contents. To this end, it is necessary to return to the original template and repeat the modification, There is no need to manually delete the work.

FIGS. 7A and 7B are conceptual diagrams showing steps of changing template components in the digital textbook production method according to the embodiment of FIG. 1. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 7A, content data corresponding to a selected template is input to complete the digital textbook contents 410a. The content may use the same template as the existing stored template, or a modified user defined template may be used in the stored template. In this state in which the content data is completely input, an area to be included in the template can be separately selected for each area.

In the present embodiment, the title 410a, the first body 421a, the second body 422a, and the image 431a are included in the contents 410a. Among these templates, it is possible to separately select an area to be included in a user-defined template to be reused and to include it in the template component. The components thus selected are indicated by solid lines in this embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 7B, a user defined template 410b including content data is shown. The contents inputted as content data by using the component selection unit and converted into content component are converted into template components. Accordingly, a template may be formed in the title area 411b included in the user-defined template 410b in a state where data is input. In the same way, a user defined template is formed in the image area 431b with the image being input.

Therefore, when the necessary data needs to be reused, it is possible to reuse the template more efficiently by including it in the user defined template.

As described above, according to the present invention, after a digital textbook is created using an existing template, a user-defined template created by the author can be stored and used in the next digital textbook production, It is possible.

Also, when the template is modified in the process of inputting the content data, the modified template is extracted by filtering it, and the user-defined template is automatically formed, so that the user-defined template can be produced more easily.

In addition, a component that is input as content data and classified as a content component is converted into a template component through a separate designation, and is included in a user-defined template, so that the concept of the user-defined template can be further expanded and utilized.
