Description

Method and system for browsing book information on terminal computer

The invention relates to a method and a system for browsing book information, in particular to displaying a plurality of book information in a better layout layout on a display interface, so that the user can quickly browse the book information on the terminal computer. Method and system.

Thanks to the development of Internet technology and the booming e-commerce market, traditionally providing physical books in a physical bookstore for consumers to browse and read in the bookstore to decide whether to purchase has been partially replaced by online bookstores. It’s nothing more than the fact that consumers can access the online bookstore for browsing and purchasing at home, at work or anywhere, anytime, at any time in the bookstore, and online bookstores often It can exempt the large assets and personnel costs of store rent or even inventory and can provide more favorable prices, and the general category of books is not like the traditional physical bookstore is limited by the store area and inventory problems, can provide consumers with more choices. In particular, the success of Amazon.com, for example, has revolutionized the global bookstores, and many traditional physical bookstores have had to run online bookstores to avoid losing consumers.

The common way of operating online bookstores today is to use a web page interface or an APP application interface.

In the first webpage interface of the website, the most typical online bookstore interface is mainly connected to the online bookstore after the user inputs the website address or IP address with a terminal computer. The website, after which the user terminal computer presents a screen substantially as shown in the first figure, the web interface 1 may include a first function column 10 on the left side and a second function column 11 on the upper side, and a larger area in the middle. The block is the book information display area 12, wherein the first function line on the left side 10 often lists the type of books (such as law, finance, literature, etc.), while the second function column 11 above lists the subject goods or Messages such as offers or feature actions. As for the book information display area 12, the books 13 in stock are taken out of the cover image 130 and arranged horizontally and vertically in a thumbnail manner in the display area, and the price of the cover image 130 is marked below or For other simple text messages 131, if the consumer wants to know more about the contents of the book 13, the user needs to click on the cover image 130 to open the book's detailed bibliographic data or profile page.

In the second APP application interface, the most typical book application is that after the user downloads and installs and opens the book application, as shown in the second figure, the displayed application interface 2 is a simulated entity. The virtual bookshelf 20 of the bookshelf includes a plurality of horizontal virtual bookbinding spaces 200. When the user purchases and downloads the electronic book 21 at the online bookstore or the APP program market, the electronic book 21 will also have its cover image 210. The thumbnails are arranged in the virtual book space, and the user can touch the cover image 210 to browse the bibliographic data or open the e-book 21 content.

However, regardless of the type of interface display, the books are arranged at intervals using a thumbnail of the cover image. The purpose is to allow the user to quickly browse and find books of interest, because usually a book uses it. The cover has the most sense of design and is the most representative of the book's connotation and theme. But also because the cover still has a considerable width and height size even if it uses a thumbnail image, and it will allow adjacent books and books to be separated. Intersected at a distance, so that within a limited size range of a single computer screen (especially for example, a tablet with a smaller screen size or a smaller smart phone), only a few books cover images will be visible. Above, other must use vertical or horizontal scrolls or use your finger to swipe the touch screen to see more book cover image thumbnails. This is not convenient for the user, not only requires extra operations, but also takes time. If you slide too far, it will not be easy to come back and find the books that you have previously locked up to browse.

In view of this, the present invention provides a type of book information that can be presented on a limited-size screen of a terminal computer, so that a user can quickly and easily see at a glance that most of the book information is available to the user on the terminal computer. The way to browse book information.

To this end, the present invention provides a method for browsing book information on a terminal computer, comprising the steps of: providing an online book database, the book database comprising a plurality of book materials, each book material corresponding to an entity or An electronic book, the book material comprising at least one book back image, a book title material, and a content page number mark associated with the corresponding entity or electronic book; responding to a user sending through a terminal computer One requesting provides a book information interface for display on a display on the terminal computer of the user; displaying a book collection area on the book information interface, the book collection area containing at least one virtual bookcase space; the plurality of books The back image of the book is displayed adjacent to each other side by side in the virtual bookcase space, and a first width of each of the book back images is proportional to the size of the content page number mark of the book material to which the book belongs.

The invention also provides a method for browsing book information on a terminal computer. The method comprises the steps of: providing a book information application to be installed and executed on a terminal computer and displaying a book information interface on one of the display terminals of the terminal computer, the book information interface comprising one of at least one virtual bookcase space a book collection area; providing an online book database, the book database containing a plurality of book materials, each book material corresponding to an entity or an electronic book, the book material at least containing the corresponding entity or electronic book a book back image, a bibliographic data, and a content page number mark; responding to a request sent by the user through the terminal computer to obtain and output at least one book material from the online book database to the terminal computer And displaying the back image of the book material adjacent to each other in the virtual bookcase space, and a first width of each of the book back images is equal to a size of the content page number of the book material to which the book material belongs Just proportional.

FIG. 3 is a system architecture diagram of a first embodiment of a system for browsing book information on a terminal computer according to the present invention, including a network architecture composed of at least one servo computer 4 and at least one terminal computer 3. . The terminal computer 3 can be a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, etc., with a 30-electrode coupled processor 30, a storage device 31, a memory 32, a display 33, an input device 34, and a web interface. 35 or other types of computer or information processing devices that can perform information input, processing, and output. The input device 34 can be a variety of known information input devices such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel, a touch panel, and a voice recognition device. The storage device 31 is equipped with an operating system 310 and a web browser. 311. Correspondingly, the servo computer 4 also includes a processor 40 electrically coupled, a storage device 41, a memory 42, a display 43, an input device 44, a network interface 45, etc., wherein the input device 44 can be a mouse, Various information input devices such as a keyboard, a touch panel, a touch panel, and voice recognition. The storage device 41 is equipped with an operating system 410, a website management program 411, and a book information database 412. The book database 412 includes a plurality of book materials BD, each book material BD corresponding to a physical or electronic book, and more specifically including a cover image CI, a book back image SI, associated with the corresponding book, A bibliographic material BG, at least one catalog page image TB, and a content page number stamp PN are shown in FIG. 3A. It is worth mentioning that the so-called book material BD of the present invention is not limited to the literal "book", but may also include magazines, manuals, handouts or even music CDs, software CDs, data CDs, DVD/VCD films, etc. Any similar item that has abstract information attached to the physical object and has the above-mentioned cover image, book back image, and bibliographic data that can be shared or traded, will be applicable and are all "books" as defined in the scope of the claimed invention. Within the scope of protection.

As shown in FIG. 4, please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 to illustrate a first embodiment of the method for a user to browse book information on a terminal computer.

First, in step S1, an online book database 412 is provided in the storage device 41 on the servo computer 4. The book database 412 includes a plurality of book materials BD as described above, and each book material BD corresponds to a physical or electronic The book, and more specifically, a cover image CI, a book back image SI, a bibliographic material BG, and a content page number mark PN associated with the corresponding book. As shown in FIG. 5, each of the book back images SI is substantially rectangular and has a first width W1 and a first height H1, and the cover image CI corresponding to the book back image SI is also substantially rectangular and has a second width W2 and Second height H2, wherein the first height H1 and the first The two heights H2 are preferably equal, but are not limited thereto. And the size of each of the back image SI and the cover image CI is reduced by the same ratio of the back of the book and the size of the cover of the corresponding physical book, so that when there are a plurality of different book back images SI side by side, these The relatively high relationship between the back image SI is like the height relationship of the corresponding physical books. Further, the first width W1 of the back image SI of each book material BD is proportional to the size of the content page number mark PN of the book material BD, and the formation of the content page number mark PN can be performed in an embodiment. When the book material BD is created, the number of the total number of pages of the actual content page in the corresponding entity book is directly input, or the number corresponding to the total number of pages of the content page image included in the electronic book. In another embodiment, in a case where the corresponding book is an electronic book, the processor 40 automatically calculates the total number of pages of the content page image of the book material BD as the content page number mark PN. Therefore, the content page number mark PN is 500 (page). The first width W1 of the book back image SI of the book material BD will be the book of the content page number mark PN and only another book material BD marked with 300 (pages). 5/3 times the first width W1 of the back image SI. Therefore, when a plurality of different book back images SI are arranged side by side, the relative thickness relationship of the back images SI of the books is like a thick relationship when the corresponding physical books are arranged side by side.

In step S2, a user sends a request Q to the servo computer 4 through the terminal computer 3, for example, inputting a web address corresponding to the server computer 4 in a web browser address list, or clicking a file or Hyperlinks on web pages, or entering query keywords on a search page. The request Q represents that the user wants to request the servo computer 4 to provide an interface of the book information webpage 5 to the display 33 on the terminal computer 3 of the user, and when the servo computer 4 accepts the request Q, the R content is sent to the terminal. The computer 3 displays the book information web page 5 by its web browser 311.

As shown in step S3 and FIG. 6A, a book collection area 50 is displayed on the book information webpage 5, and the book collection area 50 includes at least one virtual bookcase space 500, and each virtual bookcase space 500 includes at least one virtual booklet 501. Each virtual book block 501 has a third width W3 and a third height H3. The virtual bookshelf space 500 of the embodiment of the present invention is simulated to resemble a physical bookshelf, but is not limited thereto, as long as it can provide multiple or multiple columns spaced apart and can be adjacent in each layer or each column. Side by side, most of the book back SI image has a regular accommodation space.

In step S4, all the book back images SI of the plurality of book materials BD are adjacent to each other and arranged in the virtual book block 501 of the virtual bookcase space 500, because the first width W1 of the book back image SI is farther than the second cover image CI. The width W2 is small, and the adjacent book back images SI are not spaced apart from each other or only maintain a relatively small distance, so that a certain number of book back images SI can be accommodated in a single virtual book block 501, and each The book back image SI each represents an entity or an electronic book, so overall, the entire virtual bookcase space 500 will be able to display a greater amount of book information than the prior art.

Further, it is preferable that all the book back images SI are placed in the virtual book block 501 in an upright manner, but it is not excluded that some or all of the book back images SI are changed to the horizontal lying mode when necessary. Virtual booklet 501.

In addition, in order to enable the book back image SI to be placed in the virtual book block 501 to have better space use efficiency, the third width W3 of the virtual book block 501 is not less than the first width W1 of the book back image SI (W3 should be large Preferably, the third width W3 is a preset fixed width, and is arranged in the first book back image SI in one of the virtual booklets 501 according to a predetermined one-order rule (for example, according to the title of the book). The sum of the widths W1 is greater than the virtual book block 501 of the layer At the third width W3, at least one book back image SI of the last order is automatically moved to another adjacent (eg, next layer) virtual book grid 501, so that all the book back images in the virtual book block 501 of the layer The sum of the SI first widths W1 is not greater than the third width W3 of the layer of virtual booklets 501.

In contrast, the third height H3 of the virtual book block 501 is not less than the first height H1 of the book back image SI, and the third height H3 is a preset height. When the virtual book block 501 has a plurality of When the book back image SI and at least one of the book back images SI have a first height H1 greater than the preset height, the third height H3 is automatically enlarged correspondingly to a height that can accommodate the largest first height H1. Alternatively, a virtual booklet 501 having at least two different H3 heights may be set, and each of the H3 height virtual booklets 501 can only accommodate a book back image SI having a height H1 not greater than the H3 height, such as the second layer in FIG. 6A. The height of the virtual booklet 501 is greater than the height of the first layer of virtual booklets. In other words, by the above method, the relationship between the height and the relative relationship between the back images of the books and the relative relationship between the thicknesses and the true relatives of the books can be realistically presented, so that the user can understand and speculate on the actual physical books. The size and the number of pages of content included, rather than the conventional prior art method of making all cover images into thumbnails of the same size, so that the user cannot know the size and content of the physical book it represents. The number of pages is confusing.

Furthermore, please refer to the flowchart of FIG. 7 and cooperate with FIG. 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D. First, in step S5, it is confirmed whether the user moves a position indicator P (for example, a cursor or a touch point) on the terminal computer to effectively copy any back image SI in the virtual bookcase space 500 (this is called "effectively"). The system includes a position indicator P directly falling within the range of the back image SI, and the position indicator P is located at a position adjacent to any edge of the book back image SI. a condition that falls substantially within the range of the image SI of the back of the book, for example, the position indicator P is located at a distance above or below the back image SI, and if so, as shown in steps S6 and 6B, the back of the book The image SI will produce a wake-up indication (eg, the back image size of the book becomes larger, an increase in the thick frame, jitter or flicker, and the like, and any changes that may be noticeable), and preferably the display is associated with the back image SI of the book. The cover image CI is immediately adjacent to the right side or the left side of the back image SI of the book (as exemplified by the right side in FIG. 6B), and the cover image is automatically scaled and adjusted to have a second height H2 phase. It is equal to the first height H1 of the back image SI of the book, so that the book back image SI and the cover image CI are similar to the image opened by the book. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the cover image CI may be displayed on other suitable areas of the book information web page 5.

In step S7, it is next confirmed whether the position indicator P is effectively moved away from the book back image SI. If the position indicator P does not effectively leave the book back image SI, the process returns to step S6 to keep the cover image CI displayed. If the position indicator P has effectively left the book back image SI, then in step S8, it is further determined whether it is moved to the cover image CI, if it is actually moved to the cover image CI and stays for at least a predetermined time or is selected In addition, in addition to the display of the cover image CI, in step S9, the bibliographic data BG associated with the back image SI is displayed, and the bibliographic data BG can be displayed on the cover image as shown in FIG. 6C. Below the CI, but it can also be displayed on the right or even at any designated area of the book information page 5 (for example, the leftmost function area), or even a new window to display the bibliographic data BG, or displayed on the cover image The CI replaces the cover image CI. In an embodiment, if the user clicks the cover image CI again by using the position indicator P, the first page of the catalog image TB is displayed at the cover image CI to replace the cover image CI, and the first one is selected. The page will replace the first page with the second page. If it is determined in step S8 that the position indicator P has not moved to the cover image CI, then In step S10, the cover image CI disappears and is no longer displayed.

In addition, when the user moves a position indicator P to one of the book back images SI and selects it (for example, using the mouse pointer to the book back image SI and pressing the left mouse button; or using the touch screen) If the finger touches the back image of the book for more than a predetermined time, the selected back image of the book may move its position as the position indicator moves, for example, the user can adjust and replace the back image of the book in the same virtual book. The position of the grid 501 is moved to the position of the different virtual book block 501, and the server 4 will record and store the updated position. Alternatively, the user can move one or more of the book back images SI to a specific function area of the book information webpage 5 to perform a specific function, for example, as a favorite library of books, or from the SI as shown in FIG. 6D ( P) Move to SI' (P') and put it in the shopping cart 51 as a preparatory work for purchasing a book or borrowing a book.
