The foregoing and further aspects of the present invention will become more apparent through preferred embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily understand and reproduce it through these examples.

1 is a block diagram of a complete book reading support system according to an embodiment. Prior to description, the complete book support system may include all of the configuration shown in FIG. 1 or may include only a part. In an embodiment, the complete book reading support system refers to only the reading management server 300 . In another embodiment, the complete book reading support system includes both the reading support app 200 and the reading management server 300 that are executed in the user terminal 100 .

The user terminal 100 is a communicable computing device that is directly used by a user, and may be a desktop computer or a laptop computer, or a mobile device such as a smart phone or a tablet. The user terminal 100 has a browser and/or an application for book reading support service (hereinafter, referred to as 'reading support app' for short), which is an application program that allows users to view information on the web on the Internet in order to provide a complete book reading support service to the user. ) 200 can be installed and executed. In an embodiment, the reading support app 200 provides a complete book reading support service to the user in conjunction with the reading management server 300 . In another embodiment, the reading support app 200 is an application that provides a complete book reading support service to the user by itself without interworking with the reading management server 300 .

The reading management server 300 is a server system configured to include one or more server computing devices in order to provide users with a book reading support service. Reading management server 300 may be configured to include a web server, a web application server, a database server, etc., including a Windows-based operating system or MacOS, Java, UNIX or Linux (LINUX), including or not included in a variety of It can run under an operating system. The reading management server 300 may provide a book completion support service through a web or a web app to the user terminal 100 connected to the browser, and interlock with the reading support app 200 executed in the user terminal 100 . Thus, it is possible to provide a complete reading support service.

The reading management server 300 includes a book reading support unit 400 . The book reading support unit 400 is a functional configuration that can be implemented in software, and is executed by one or more processors to support the user's complete reading of the book. As shown in FIG. 1 , the book complete reading support unit 400 includes a reading target amount determining unit 410 , a reading schedule generating unit 420 , and a complete reading management unit 430 , a book table of contents registration unit 440 and a community service unit At least some of the 450 and the additional information providing unit 460 may be further included. The reading target amount determiner 410 may determine the daily reading target amount so that the user can complete the reading for a reading target book, which is a book selected by the user to read during a predetermined reading period. Here, the reading period may be determined automatically or may be determined by the user.

The reading target amount determining unit 410 according to an aspect determines the daily reading target for each table of contents item by considering the table of contents configuration according to the table of contents information of the book to be read, the total number of pages, and the number of pages of each table of contents item. To this end, the reading management server 300 may include a book table of contents database 500 . In the book table of contents database 500, the table of contents information for each book is mapped and registered, and the table of contents information may include a table of contents configuration, the total number of pages, and the number of pages of each table of contents item. When such a book table of contents database 500 is provided, the reading target amount determining unit 410 searches the book table of contents database 500 for table of contents information corresponding to the book to be read, and then sets the table of contents according to the searched table of contents information and the total In consideration of the number of pages and the number of pages in each table of contents, the daily reading target is determined for each table of contents item.

Reading plan generation unit 420 generates a reading plan for the user's reading target book and provides it to the user, reflecting the reading target amount consisting of one or more table of contents items for each day determined by the reading target amount determination unit 410, the reading plan to create An example of this is shown in FIG. 2 . As shown in FIG. 2 , the table of contents may be divided into a plurality of items such as a major item (chapter), a medium item (section), and a small item (section), and a table of contents item unit for determining the daily reading target amount may be a sub-item unit. In FIG. 2 , when the reading period is set to 10 days and when the reading period is set to 7 days, the reading target amount is planned based on the daily table of contents item unit, and a page number may also be provided for each sub-item unit. In addition, the reading period may be predetermined by the user or automatically, or may be changed according to the daily reading target amount determination unit 410 without being predetermined.

In an embodiment, when determining the daily reading target in units of small items, the reading target determination unit 410 determines the daily reading target in units of small items in consideration of the table of contents classified into large items, medium items, and small items. . For example, in the case of determining the daily reading target in units of sub-items only, if Chapter 2, Section 2, Sections 13 and 14 are determined as the daily target in the example of FIG. 2, when determining the daily reading target in consideration of the table of contents classification Chapter 2: Section 2 Pipes 13, 14, and 15 are determined as the daily target amount, so you can finish Chapter 2. In this case, since the total number of pages and the number of pages of each table of contents are taken into consideration as well as the composition of the table of contents, it goes without saying that the result of determining the daily reading target amount may vary depending on the variables considered. However, a more appropriate reading schedule can be created by determining the daily reading target in consideration of the table of contents.

In addition, the table of contents information may further include the number of body page lines. In this case, the reading target amount determining unit 410 considers the number of body page lines in addition to the table of contents configuration, the total number of pages, and the number of pages of each table of contents item to determine the daily reading target amount. can be decided In addition, when the number of body page lines is considered, the reading period may not be determined first, but may be automatically determined according to the determination of the daily reading target amount. Also, the reading target amount determiner 410 may determine the daily reading target amount by considering the user's past reading pattern in addition to the table of contents information. The past reading pattern may include information such as the average daily reading amount of the user, the main reading period during the week, the main reading period in the month, the main reading time, and the like. When the daily reading target is determined by additionally considering past reading patterns, a customized reading schedule can be provided to the user.

The complete reading management unit 430 receives a user's input of whether reading has been completed for each table of contents item on the reading schedule and manages whether the daily reading target amount is achieved. Although not shown in FIG. 2 , the reading planner may have a function that allows the user to directly input and manage the reading progress for each table of contents item. For example, in the reading planner, check boxes for checking whether reading or reading has been completed for each table of contents item may be provided so that the user can check and input the reading status for each table of contents item. Accordingly, the complete reading management unit 430 may manage whether or not the user's reading target has been achieved for each table of contents item and for each day. In addition, the complete reading management unit 430 may provide the user with a graph of the user's one-unit reading target amount achievement rate status information.

The book table of contents registration unit 440 acquires the table of contents information of the book to be read when the table of contents information on the user's reading target book is not registered in the book table of contents database 500 , and newly registers it in the book table of contents database 500 . In an embodiment, the book table of contents registration unit 440 collects table of contents information on a book to be read on the web and registers it in the book table of contents database 500 . In another embodiment, the book table of contents registration unit 440 receives the table of contents information on the book to be read directly from the administrator and registers it in the book table of contents database 500 . In another embodiment, the book table of contents registration unit 440 obtains the table of contents information from the user and registers it in the book table of contents database 500 .

An embodiment of obtaining table of contents information from a user will be described. If the table of contents information for the book to be read is not registered in the book table of contents database 500 , the book table of contents registration unit 440 requests upload of the table of contents image to the user terminal 100 or the reading support app 200 . Accordingly, the user shoots all the table of contents pages of the book with a camera or a separate camera provided in the user terminal 100, and the user terminal 100 or the reading support app 200 manages reading all the table of contents page images obtained through shooting It is uploaded to the server 300 . Accordingly, the book table of contents registration unit 440 of the reading management server 300 performs text analysis using a technology such as optical character recognition (OCR) for the uploaded table of contents page image, the contents of the table of contents, the total number of pages, and each The number of pages of the table of contents item is grasped, and the table of contents information of the book to be read is generated based on the identified result and registered in the book table of contents database 500 . In addition, the book table of contents registration unit 440 completely destroys the uploaded table of contents page image as soon as the table of contents information registration is completed.

Additionally, the table of contents information may include the number of body page lines. To this end, the user may take a single page of the body and upload it to the reading management server 300 , and the book table of contents register 440 determines the number of body page lines through analysis of the body page image and adds it to the table of contents information. can be included In addition, the body page image will be completely destroyed immediately after use. As another example, the user may directly count the number of body page lines and input and provide the line number information. That is, the book table of contents registration unit 440 may request information on the number of body page lines from the user terminal 100 or the reading support app 200 , and accordingly, the user may input and provide information on the number of body page lines.

Meanwhile, when the table of contents information of the book is obtained from the user, the book table of contents registration unit 440 may provide a predetermined incentive to the user who first provided the table of contents information of the corresponding book. Also, there may be books without a table of contents. In this case, the book table of contents register 440 requests the administrator to create table of contents information, and accordingly, the table of contents information created by the administrator for the corresponding book is stored in the book table of contents database 500 . can register. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a reading plan service to the user based on the table of contents created by the administrator, even if the book does not actually have a table of contents.

The community service unit 450 creates and manages online communities for books. Instead of creating one online community for each book, it creates an online community for each table of contents item. Accordingly, a plurality of online communities are created according to the table of contents for one book. For example, when table of contents information is newly registered in the book table of contents database 500 , the community service unit 450 creates a plurality of online communities for the corresponding book according to the table of contents information. An online community may be created for each table of contents item based on a predetermined classification standard, and an online community may be created for each large item, medium item, or small item. In this case, the classification criterion may be set as a default or may be set by an administrator.

The community service unit 450 grants the user the right to use the online community corresponding to the table of contents item that the user is reading (given membership qualification). In one embodiment, the community service unit 450 identifies the table of contents item that the user is currently reading through the reading status of the user reflected in the reading plan, and then grants the user the right to use the online community corresponding to the identified table of contents item. give to In another embodiment, the community service unit 450 grants the user the right to use all online communities of the book when reading of the book to be read starts. Through this, the user can freely communicate about the contents of the corresponding table of contents item with other users who have the right to use the same online community.

For example, communication may be made in the form of posts and comments on a community bulletin board. Through this online community for each table of contents item, users can help each other by asking and answering questions about what they are curious about, and thus the probability of reading a book can be increased. In addition, the right to use each online community once granted to a user may be continued or there may be a time limit. For example, when a predetermined period (week or month, etc.) has elapsed from the date the user completes reading the table of contents item corresponding to the online community to which the user has the right to use, the community service unit 450 provides the user for the online community. to reclaim the right to use

On the other hand, in one embodiment, the community service unit 450 does not create an online community for each book and each table of contents item in the case of books having the same content although different publishers and publication types are different, but as one book. Consider it and create an online community for each table of contents item. In this case, the community service unit 450 may determine whether the book has the same content based on the book title, table of contents, and author information. To elaborate on the advantages of providing an online community service for each table of contents in this way, many books, edited books, classics, etc. have the same content, but they belong to different bibliographic information, so it is difficult to form a single community. . However, if a community is provided for each table of contents item, the table of contents itself serves as each title in the book, and the same book included in other publications can be combined to provide a community. For example, if you search for “wings” by Lee Sang (author), you can find out that it is included in more than 20 compilations. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a community based on the same text (prose, novel, poetry, etc.) included in different publications based on the title of the publication as well as the subtitles according to the table of contents and the author information of each sub-title.

The additional information providing unit 460 identifies one or more table of contents items having a relatively high level of interest among the contents of the book to be read, and provides information to the user. In an embodiment, the additional information providing unit 460 ranks member participation levels of a plurality of online communities generated in relation to a book to be read from highest to lowest. Here, the degree of member participation may be determined according to the number of posts, the number of comments, the number of visiting members, the number of member visits, and the like. And when the ranking is completed, the additional information providing unit 460 provides the user with the table of contents item information corresponding to the top online community or the online community belonging to the top group. Accordingly, the user can recognize in advance that key contents, etc. are included in the information provided table of contents, and can read with more attention when reading the corresponding table of contents.

At least some of the components belonging to the complete reading support unit 400 described above may be configured in the reading support app 200 . That is, when the reading support app 200 and the reading management server 300 work together to provide a book completion support service to the user, the reading support app 200 may play a part. As another example, all components belonging to the complete book reading support unit 400 may belong to the reading support app 200 . That is, the reading support app 200 may provide a book completion support service to the user by itself without interworking with the reading management server 300 . In this case, the book table of contents database 500 may also be configured in the user terminal 100 by the reading support app 200 .

3 to 5 are flowcharts of a method for supporting complete reading of a book according to an exemplary embodiment. 3 to 5 may be performed by the reading management server 300 or by the reading support app 200, the reading support app 200 and the reading management server 300 It can also be carried out by dividing the process. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the subject of the operation is referred to as a processor of the computing device.

First, FIG. 3 will be described. The processor searches the corresponding book with the user's input keyword and provides the search result to the user (S100). Accordingly, when the book provided as a search result matches the information that the user is looking for, the user selects the corresponding book as a reading target book, and the processor designates the searched book as the user's reading target book ( S110 ). The processor determines the daily reading target amount for each table of contents item based on the table of contents information of the book to be read (S120), and generates and provides a reading plan in which the determined reading target amount is reflected to the user (S130). Thereafter, the processor receives an input from the user on whether or not reading has been completed for each table of contents item on the reading accounting table, and manages whether the daily reading target amount is achieved ( S140 ).

Next, FIG. 4 will be described. In an embodiment, FIG. 4 may be located between S120 and S120 of FIG. 3 . The processor checks whether the table of contents information of the book to be read is registered in the book table of contents database 500 (S200). If it is not registered as a result of the check, the processor acquires the table of contents information of the book to be read and newly registers it in the book table of contents database 500 ( S210 ) ( S220 ). Obtaining the table of contents information is possible in various ways, as described above. Meanwhile, when the table of contents information of the book to be read is obtained from the user, the processor may provide a predetermined incentive to the user who first provided the table of contents information of the corresponding book.

Finally, FIG. 5 will be described. The processor creates and manages an online community for each table of contents item of each book (S300). In one embodiment, when table of contents information of a book is newly registered in the book table of contents database 500 , the processor creates a plurality of online communities for the corresponding book according to the table of contents information. The processor grants respective use rights (membership qualifications) to users for each online community, and grants membership qualifications to the online community corresponding to the table of contents item being read by each user (S310). In addition, the processor provides information on items of high interest among members of the table of contents items of the books to be read based on the member participation of the online communities for the books to be read by the user ( S320 ).

On the other hand, the above-described book complete support method can be written by a computer program. Codes and/or code segments constituting such a program can be easily inferred by a computer programmer in the art. In addition, such a program is stored in a computer-readable recording medium, read and executed by the computer, the method of providing a shooting guide can be implemented. Such a recording medium may be a magnetic recording medium, an optical recording medium, or the like. So far, the present invention has been looked at with respect to preferred embodiments thereof.
