BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be further described in detail by way of specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. An embodiment of the present invention provides an event multi-dimensional information display device, which is shown in FIG. 1 and includes a spatial display module 1 and a time display module 2. The space display module 1 is configured to graphically display the spatial location of the event occurrence in the user interface. The time display module 2 is configured to simultaneously display time information of the event occurrence on the user interface. Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes a space control module and a time control module. The space control module is configured to acquire a spatial location of the event, and control various parameters displayed by the spatial display module. The time control module is configured to acquire time information of an event occurrence, and control various parameters displayed by the time display module. The parameters include, but are not limited to, display type, display resolution, and display range. Display type, for time display, there can be time axis, timer, etc. For space display, there can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional map, globe, star map and other types. Display resolution, for spatial display, refers to the actual geographic length represented by the unit length of the display. The higher the display resolution, the smaller the display range and the higher the positional accuracy. For the time display, The length of time represented by the unit length on the time axis. The higher the time display resolution, the smaller the time range displayed and the higher the time accuracy. The time when a single event occurs is displayed on the time display module, such as the timeline, timer, and so on. Preferably, when the time information is displayed, the corresponding time node on the time axis is used to perform the labeling method. At the same time, the spatial position is indicated on the spatial display module, such as a map (planar, 3D, ^jing, etc.), a globe, a sky map, etc., which can represent a spatial view of the spatial position. Specifically, according to the specified time point of the "time control module", the time dimension information of the event in the event information storage medium (such as a database, a data warehouse, etc.) is compared, and the information item or record of the corresponding event is queried, and the time dimension is The information is displayed on the time display module, and according to the spatial dimension information corresponding to the event, according to the coordinate relationship of the spatial display module, the event information is marked on the corresponding coordinate of the spatial display module within the limited range of the space control module. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 2, another dimension display module 3 is further included for marking the body content of the event or the link address of the body content of the event at a spatial geographic location where the event occurs. Preferably, the body content of the event may be marked in the form of an information bubble (3 shown in Figure 2). The other dimension display module 3, that is, the more dimension display module, the other dimension refers to other dimension information except the time information and the spatial location information in all the information data of the event. The subject content refers to data other than time information and location information, such as the specific content of the event. The other dimension display module displays one or more event identifiers or other elements of the event identifier, the content, and other elements in the one or more spatial identification positions or ranges of the spatial display module, and may display the information through the information bubble 3 or the link. Other information elements such as the subject and content of the event. To view the entire contents of the event, you can use a hyperlink to display a display element such as a new page or subpage that is large enough to hold all event information. Preferably, the time display module is configured to display the target i at all time points and time periods included in the event when the time when the event occurs includes multiple time points or time phases. The space display module is configured to display an identifier on all spatial geographic locations or spatial ranges included in the event when the location where the event occurs includes a plurality of spatial geographic locations or spatial geographic regions i or. The position of the time display module on the user interface window can be variously implemented, such as horizontal and vertical display, close to the upper and lower left and right borders of the window, or covered on the space display module. In the prior art, when an event covers a large number of time points and locations, it is often simply listed by text, and the audience often cannot intuitively feel the association between the specific occurrence locations and times of the event. With the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the spatial positional relationship such as the distance between the various locations where the event occurs in the spatial position can be visually seen, and the time between the time nodes can be clearly known from the time axis. Great away. Preferably, as also shown in FIG. 2, an association retrieval module 4 and an associated display module are also included. The association search module is configured to display a plurality of associated standard keywords in the user interface, and correspondingly search for multiple events matching the associated standard keywords according to the associated standard keywords selected by the user, if multiple events When more than one associated standard keyword is matched at the same time, it is determined that an association is generated between the multiple events. As shown in Figure 2, the words "eight road army", "first - five divisions", "new four army" are all associated standard keywords. A check box is set in front of each keyword, and the user can select one or more keys. Words are retrieved. The associated display module is configured to simultaneously display the plurality of events that are associated with each other on the user interface, and geographically identify identifiers of the same type for the spatial occurrence of the multiple events that are associated. Further, the associated display module is further configured to: connect the spatial location of each event with a line with an arrow and display it according to a chronological order in which the associated multiple events occur, or use a symbol with a sequential order The time sequence of each event occurs and is displayed. If the spatial geographic location of the associated multiple event information belongs to the same geographical area category, the geographic area or category is identified. The identification forces of various colors, graphics, images, texts, etc. can be used for associated events. To classify. Specifically, the association between the plurality of events is determined by the enumeration selection conditions (ie, associated standard keywords) in the association search module on the display interface. For events belonging to the same category, they are identified by the same identifier; different categories of events are distinguished by different identifiers. For a specific example, as shown in FIG. 3, the five-pointed star identifier, the triangular identifier, and the elliptical identifier in FIG. 3 respectively represent events of different categories. For multiple events in multiple dimensions such as time and space, you can use links, circles, etc. to reflect their relevance, change process or trend, as shown in Figure 4. Preferably, the chronological direction may be indicated by a line with an arrow, the direction indicated by the arrow. When you want to show the relationship between related events, you can do it through the following ways: Time-related events, you can choose to connect by line, dashed line, etc. in chronological order, and you can use logically sequential symbols such as numbers and letters. The order of identification. If the spatial geographic location of the associated multiple event information belongs to the same geographical area category, the geographic area i or category is identified, that is, the event with spatial correlation may be selected according to the spatial location relationship, and the spatial range may be used. The circle is marked with an associated event identifier, and the range can also be labeled with a color different from the background color. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 5, an event information database and an event entry module are further included. The event entry module is configured to store time information of the event and spatial location information into a separate field for storing, and for the event data that has been imported, extract the time information field and the spatial location information field. The event information database is configured to store all information data of an event entered by the event entry module. The entry of the event should be separately recorded in the multi-dimensional elements such as time, space, etc., which are required to describe the event, so as to be correspondingly extracted during the display process. For the existing data to be imported, there is no separate multi-dimensional feature field such as time and space, and it needs to be extracted from the event content field in a certain way to form an independent time and spatial information field for storage. For the events that are occurring, the entry can be entered in real time at the occurrence point of the event by using an input device (such as a mobile phone or a GPS terminal), and the multi-dimensional information such as the real-time time and space of the event is recorded. Non-real-time entry methods may be employed for events that have occurred or are expected to occur. Multi-dimensional information such as the time and space at which the event has occurred or is expected to occur when entering. Preferably, a time retrieval module and a spatial retrieval module are further included. The time retrieving module is configured to perform retrieving in the event information database according to the input time information; and the space retrieving module is configured to perform retrieving in the event information database according to the input spatial geographic location information. Through the time retrieval module, in all or part of the record, the events of the same or multiple time points or time phases are accurately retrieved. Through the spatial retrieval module, in all or part of the records, the same or multiple spatial points or spatial scope events are "retrieved". On the basis of the above two retrieval modules, the related retrieval keywords are used to associate other related keywords. Perform precise or fuzzy retrieval. The overall operation flow between the modules of the present invention will be briefly described below with reference to Fig. 5. The time control module, the space control module and the associated retrieval module on the display interface can be respectively sent to the event information database. Controlling the retrieval request, and extracting corresponding event records within the scope defined by the time, space, other dimensional control and retrieval modules from the event information database according to the conditions for controlling the retrieval request, and generating a new cache library or table for standby. When the new table is not created, the retrieved data is recorded directly from the event information database, and the corresponding content is displayed on the display interface. The time display module, the space display module, and other dimension display modules extract the retrieved qualified data records from the generated new cache library or table, and display the corresponding content on the display interface. At the same time, the event information entry module is used to record multiple events such as the event occurrence time, the occurrence space, the event body, and the event content, and store them in the event information database. The embodiment of the present invention further provides an event multi-dimensional information display method, as shown in FIG. 6, including the steps: Step S110: graphically display a spatial location of the event occurrence in the user interface. Step S111: Simultaneously display time information of the event occurrence on the user interface. In one embodiment, the time range to which the event occurs is represented by a time axis, and the time point or time phase at which the event occurs is marked and displayed on the time axis. With the popularity of Internet technology in daily life, rich network information makes people's work more efficient and life more convenient. People's dependence on the Internet and even the mobile Internet has been significantly enhanced. However, the confusion caused by online information is also increasing. One of them is that the generation of network information is getting faster and faster, the total amount is getting bigger and bigger, the organization is more and more complicated, and the mining is more and more difficult. At the same time, the display of event information, especially the display of historical event information, has not yet reached a more intuitive and more humanistic form of expression. No matter the past, the present, or the future, there are a large number of events at every moment, and many of these events are posted on the Internet. All events are not isolated, they all have a variety of connections. However, the current online media often uses the description of the event as a way of presenting the event, and lacks an intuitive and three-dimensional display of the time and place of the event. At the same time, individual events are often described in isolation and are difficult to describe in association with other related events. Although there are individual web applications that give event correlation comparison methods, they just stay in the same way. Time or place, such as the presentation of a certain dimension, and people understand and need to intuitively and stereoscopically obtain accurate multi-dimensional information such as time and space. In addition, in the prior art, historical research is a research work that summarizes, sorts, refines, and summarizes historical events that have occurred in the past. At present, the research methods for the existing recorded historical materials are mainly the literature method. And this method needs to retrieve the materials needed to study a specific topic from the vast documents, and then summarize it. The previous step cost a lot of researcher's energy, and the summary of the power input is insufficient. Applying the method of the present invention, the historical materials are entered into the system according to time, space and other multi-dimensional elements, and the historical materials will be divided into historical events one by one to record. In the display and retrieval, the multi-dimensional elements such as time and space are associated to visually display the event information occurring in a specific geographical space during the historical time. For example, the search for events during the Anti-Japanese War of 1937-1945, incidents within the geographical scope of Jinchaji or related events of the Eighth Route Army, etc., can provide convenient and accurate historical research for the study of the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the period and the region. in accordance with. Another example: Retrieving events related to painters in the Renaissance, Italy and China, can help cross-regional research in art history, and so on. In this way, the vast number of historians no longer spend a lot of human and financial resources on the collection and collation of repeated and inefficient literature content, effectively improve the efficiency of historical research, and can form research results more quickly. Even in the retrieval of historical event comparisons, new research topics may be automatically generated. Such as the same historical event, the time, place, character, etc. of different document records occur, and the application of the present invention can intuitively find such problems. For news hot events, the media’s current news events are mainly text, pictures, videos and so on. There is no separate representation of the dimensional information such as the time, space, etc. of the event. For the audience, it is not intuitive enough. At the same time, the interrelated events only stay at the level of enumeration and linking, and it is also impossible for the audience to understand the intuitive spatial-temporal dimension correlation between them. And this kind of relevance often reflects the law of the occurrence and development of events. For example: The last round of the global financial crisis triggered the intensification of the risk of the US sub-sponsor in 2007. Over time, the influence in the United States has intensified, and then spread to economically developed countries such as the European Union and Japan, which ultimately affected the entire global economy. This kind of inter-temporal and cross-regional event system is based on simple Single language descriptions, image displays, and event listings are not fully reflected. Through the application of the invention, the evolution process of the entire event system can be displayed intuitively and stereoscopically. Every event is no longer isolated, but an event system that is combined according to various association rules. It is easy to find the relevance of the entire event. The apparatus and method provided by the embodiments of the present invention graphically display event information based on time, space, and the like through various display modules, and the effect is intuitive, image, and three-dimensional, conforming to the objective laws and requirements of human cognition, for the network. Information can be used for good retrieval and sorting. For historical topics or news hotspots, the dimensions displayed are more rich and intuitive. In addition, the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can also be used for travel route planning. Nowadays, people's living standards are constantly improving, and swimming has become an indispensable part of relaxing and feeling natural in daily life. There have even been many professional friends who have opened up a large number of tourist routes. Travel agencies' travel routes are also constantly updated. By applying the invention, the travel plan can be planned in advance, and the situation of the line and the time of using the dog can be felt in a dynamic and intuitive manner to facilitate the actual travel. During or after the trip, you can also correct or update the line for real-life situations and problems. Find the final solution to share with other visitors, help them, reduce the waste of time, money and energy, and avoid the dangers that can be circumvented. Those skilled in the art can also apply the technical solution of the present invention according to the above concept.

Obviously, those skilled in the art should understand that the above modules or steps of the present invention can be implemented by a general-purpose computing device, which can be concentrated on a single computing device or distributed over a network composed of multiple computing devices. Alternatively, they may be implemented by program code executable by the computing device, such that they may be stored in the storage device by the computing device, or they may be separately fabricated into respective integrated circuit modules. Alternatively, multiple modules or steps of them can be implemented as a single integrated circuit module. Thus, the invention is not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software.
