Description

Cloud publishing system and method

The invention relates to a cloud publishing system and method, in particular to an operating system and method that can be directly edited at a remote location and then published and published on a specific network market.

In traditional document publishing methods, most authors provide physical manuscripts to publishers. After the publishers use special editing software to compile text and pictures, the authors must verify the proofs before they can be delivered for printing, publishing and sales. This kind of publishing method not only requires many people to participate in the operation, but also consumes a high operation cost, and usually requires many times of proofreading, which will spend more time on the operation; in this way, most publishers will share the above operation Most of the costs require publishing and printing at least a certain number of documents at a time, which is not only inconsistent with the economic benefits, but also causes troubles in inventory management.

With the development and maturity of the Internet, the transmission of various information is also extremely fast and diversified. Therefore, various styles of paper products can be displayed publicly through a variety of different channels. The traditional sales model that a large number of publishers display through bookstores has gradually declined. Many authors can directly display their cultural and creative works through the various ways mentioned above. Therefore, diversifying small-scale outputs to meet the needs of various customer groups is a possible development trend for the future publishing industry. .

In view of the above-mentioned diversified and small-scale free publishing methods, there is currently a publishing platform suitable for individuals on the Internet, whose operation mode is that the author edits the completed document file (to be in accordance with the prescribed format produced by the default editing software ) Upload to the publishing platform, and then select various printing conditions (paper, quantity, etc.), then it can be printed and published by the publishing platform; however, although this kind of publishing platform can effectively reduce the difficulty of the author's publishing work, it is actually applied At the time, there are still the following disadvantages:

First of all, many authors themselves are not professional creators of texts, pictures, and videos. Of course, it is not easy to obtain and use the above editing software proficiently. For publishing platforms, which are only suitable for document files in special prescribed formats, it will seriously affect and restrict many amateur authors. Willingness to publish.

In addition, most of the general copywriting works require various graphic materials (such as patterns, layouts, etc.) as illustrations or supporting backgrounds. These graphic materials must be collected one by one by the author himself, which not only takes time and effort, The author's creative burden is often difficult to find suitable graphic materials.

In addition, generally, after the author completes the copywriting work, he must find another channel or platform for publishing the copywriting work. At the same time, he must personally conceive how to introduce or promote the advertising content of the copywriting work. Under the circumstances, it also caused inconvenience for many authors to publish works.

In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the publishing method of the literary and creative works of the common sense, the inventors studied and improved these shortcomings, and finally the present invention came into being.
