Fig. 1 schematically shows a flowchart of a method for creating an e-book according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in step S110, user data and corresponding electronic book information are associated and stored.

Various forms of electronic books have appeared in the prior art, and these electronic books contain text content corresponding to physical paper books, which can be displayed on various user terminals for readers to read. Just like reading paper books, when reading e-books, users may wish to mark their personal understanding, perception, etc. or highlight key content on some text paragraphs.

Specifically, the user terminal may be a device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a PC, or an e-book reader. Wherein, a client module may be installed in the user terminal to realize reading of electronic books and other functions in the embodiments of the present invention.

In an exemplary embodiment, the user data may be, for example, notes, underlines, book reviews, or handwriting traces input with a stylus. The user terminal can display a user interface on the screen, so that the user can access or operate the electronic book stored in the user terminal through the user interface, such as reading or browsing the electronic pages of the electronic book displayed on the user interface.

In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic book information may include part of the original content of the currently displayed electronic book and the number of pages or paragraphs of the original content corresponding to the user data. The electronic book information may also include the title, author, publisher, ISBN, place of publication, publication date or user-defined tags of the electronic book.

In an exemplary embodiment, the user data may be recorded in a note data layer separate from the electronic pages of the electronic book. The note data layer can be a virtual layer with a transparent background or a translucent background, so as to avoid being stacked on the electronic page of the electronic book and covering the content of the electronic page. Since the note data layer is independent of the electronic page of the e-book and is stacked on the electronic page, instead of directly recording user data on the electronic page of the e-book, the user can add, delete or modify user data on the note data layer through the user interface , it will not cause changes to the original content of the e-book. The note data layer is stored independently of the electronic pages of the electronic book.

In an exemplary embodiment, the electronic book is from an electronic book full-text database. The user obtains the electronic book from the electronic book full-text database and displays the electronic text of the electronic book. The full-text database of electronic books saves the full-text data of all electronic books with copyright. Here, the way to obtain the e-books can be to browse the related e-books in the background e-book full-text database online in real time, or download the related e-books in the e-book full-text database to the user terminal for local browsing.

In an exemplary embodiment, the user data and corresponding electronic book information may be associated and stored in the user terminal, and when the user terminal stores a large amount of content, the user data and corresponding electronic book information may be Associations are saved on the server side.

In an actual application scenario, the user opens the client terminal on the user terminal (for example, a specific reading application software), and when the user starts to write notes/underlines/write book reviews on the client terminal, the user data entered by the user is passed through the client The terminal initiates a storage request to the server, and the server associates and stores the user data and corresponding electronic book information in the database.

In step S120, an electronic book including the user data and the associated electronic book information is generated.

In an exemplary embodiment, wherein the generating of the e-book including the user data and the associated e-book information is generated in accordance with a predetermined policy, wherein the predetermined policy includes according to the category of the e-book and/or the The e-book is generated at the generation time of the user data.

For example, according to the title of the e-book, user data and corresponding e-book information stored under the same title from different users or the same user can be generated into the same e-book, or it can also be generated according to the generation time of the user data The associated stored user data and corresponding e-book information within a certain preset period of time are generated into the same e-book, and at this time, it is not necessary to distinguish whether these user data are annotated for the same book title.

In an exemplary embodiment, firstly, it is automatically detected whether the user data and the corresponding electronic book information stored in association with the user reach a preset threshold for creating an electronic book, and if the preset threshold is not reached, the creation of the electronic book will not be executed temporarily. Steps of e-book; if the preset threshold is reached, a prompt message to create an e-book is sent to the client, and the client displays the prompt message to prompt the user whether to generate an e-book at present; if the user chooses not to create an e-book, temporarily The step of creating the e-book is not executed; if the user clicks to create an e-book, the client sends a request to the server to create an e-book, and the server reads all associated stored user data and corresponding e-book information to create an e-book. Wherein, the preset threshold may be a value selected by the user or automatically set by the system, which is not limited in the present invention.

In an exemplary embodiment, the server generates a cover by centering the user name + "notes" in a suitable font size, and the cover can be in a picture format.

A method for creating an e-book provided by the embodiment of the present invention can automatically collect and organize user notes, underlines, and book review information and create an e-book, which can help users save a lot of time and improve the efficiency of reading and knowledge storage.

Fig. 2 schematically shows a flowchart of a method for creating an e-book according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2 , in step S210 , the information of the text segment selected by the user in the electronic book is obtained.

In an exemplary embodiment, the information of the text segment may include the electronic book to which the text segment belongs and the location information in the electronic book. The information user of described text segment can select relevant text segment from the displayed electronic book text by relevant input tools, such as keyboard, mouse, touch screen etc. experience or correction of errors found in the content, etc.), the lined text paragraph.

In an exemplary embodiment, the client detects a user add user data request. For example, when the user clicks, double-clicks, or slides the selected e-book content on the touch screen, it can be determined that the user wants to add user data. For example, when the user encounters something he likes very much or some very important and key content; or when the user has his own ideas and understanding of the content he read; or when there is an error in the content of the e-book, the user can correct it The content adds user data such as notes or annotations or modifies the original text.

In an exemplary embodiment, the client receives a user click on an add icon. When it is determined that the user wants to add user data, the user clicks an add icon to add user data. For example, after the user selects the content of the e-book, the screen displaying the content of the e-book will automatically display an icon for adding user data (that is, an add icon), and the user can click the icon to add user data to the selected content.

For example, an icon representing adding user data may be always displayed on the screen displaying the content of the electronic book, so when the user wants to add user data, the user data can be added by clicking the icon. In other words, it may also be determined that the user wants to add user data through the behavior of the user clicking the icon for adding user data.

It should be understood that the above is just an example of displaying an icon for adding user data, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Determine the type of user data selected by the user. For example, after the user touches the screen and clicks the add icon, the type of user data to be added is automatically displayed at the bottom of the touch screen. For example, the type of user data to be added includes: highlighting, underlining, notes, annotations and overlays, etc. . It should be understood that this is just an example of the type of user data added, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Add user data in highlighted form. When it is determined that the user selects the user data type of the highlight mode (that is, the user clicks the highlight icon), a default background color is added to the selected text to make it highlight. Users can also customize the highlight mode by double-clicking the highlight icon, such as selecting their favorite background color and customizing the background color. The steps for customizing the highlight mode include: double-click the highlight icon to display the color frame diagram, and users can choose various colors according to their preferences. Then the selected e-book content will be marked with the background color selected by the user to distinguish it from other text.

Add user data as a dash. When the user wants to mark the selected content with a line, he can click the line icon. Therefore, user data will be added in the form of a line to the selected content. Wherein, the type of underline may include straight line, wavy line, interrupted line, double underline and block diagram. For example, when adding user data to electronic book content in the form of a frame, the selected content will be surrounded by a frame.

The user can customize the format of the dashed line by double-clicking the dashed line icon. The step of customizing the format of the dashed line may include: displaying a menu of the format of the dashed line according to the behavior of double-clicking the dashed line icon, and selecting the format of the dashed line.

Add notes as annotations. When the user wants to add notes in the form of text annotations, the user can click the annotation icon, and a line will be automatically vacated under the selected content in the e-book for the user to add notes. At the same time, you can also customize the format of the added text by double-clicking the comment icon, including font size and format.

Add user data in delete or overwrite form. When users find some errors in the original text and want to correct them, they can use the overwrite note type. Users can do so by clicking the overlay icon. After the overlay icon is clicked, a submenu is displayed on the screen, and the user can choose to overlay with text or overlay with lines.

For example, when the user selects text, a text editing area may appear above the selected content in the e-book, where the user can add correct information. When the user selects a line, it is overlaid in the line format. Similarly, the user can double-click the text icon to customize the format of the text, such as selecting a font and format for overwriting the original content.

In step S220, receive the note content and/or underline input by the user for the text segment, and generate note information and/or corresponding to the text segment according to the information of the text segment and the note content and/or underline Underline information.

In an exemplary embodiment, the note information may include note content and information about the text segment, and the underline information may include information about the text segment and underline author information.

In an exemplary embodiment, the note information may further include identification information such as author information of the note content, editing time of the note content, update time, title, and attributable book. The line marking information may also include information such as line style, line thickness, and line color.

In an exemplary embodiment, when the note input by the user is a handwritten input character, handwriting recognition is performed on the handwritten input character, and the recognized result is used as the content of the note.

In step S230, save the note information and/or underline information.

An association between the content of the note and/or the underline and the text segment in the corresponding electronic book is established. Generate the note information and/or underline information into a file in XML format independent of the electronic book and send it to the server.

In step S240, user comment content of the corresponding electronic book is acquired, and book review information corresponding to the electronic book is generated according to the user comment content.

In step S250, the book review information is saved.

In step S260, an electronic book including note information and/or underline information and/or book review information is generated.

Fig. 3 schematically shows a flowchart of a method for creating an e-book according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, in step S310, the note information and/or underline information and/or book review information are saved.

In step S320, the primary directory of the e-book to be generated is obtained according to the note information and/or underline information.

In step S330, the primary directory of the to-be-generated e-book is obtained according to the book review information.

In step S340, the corresponding chapters of the to-be-generated e-book are acquired according to the catalog information.

In an exemplary embodiment, the server generates corresponding chapters according to the directory information sorted out above, and the contents of the chapters are processed as follows:

If it is a note, it is in the following format:

Original quote: XXXXX (here is the original content of the quote)

Note: YYYYY (Here is the content of the note)

If it is a dash, it is in the following format:

Original quote: XXXXX (here is the original content of the quote)

There is a separate first-level directory for book reviews, and the content format is:

List of book reviews:

Book review 1: ZZZZZ (here is the content of the book review);

Book Review 2: ZZZZZ (here is the content of the book review).

The above chapter contents and their formats are just examples, and different chapter contents and corresponding formats can also be configured according to different needs of users.

In an exemplary embodiment, the acquisition of the original text content corresponding to the note includes: according to the predetermined mark symbol in the note, obtaining the original text content marked by the mark symbol; according to the character in the note, obtaining the text in the area corresponding to the character Original text content; or, when the note contains a predetermined mark symbol, obtain the original text content marked by the mark symbol; when the note does not contain a predetermined mark symbol and only contains characters, obtain the text in the area corresponding to the character Original text content; or, when the note contains characters, obtain the original text content in the area corresponding to the characters; when the note does not contain characters but only contains predetermined mark symbols, obtain the original text content marked by the mark symbols.

Before recording the note input by the user on the current page, the method further includes: creating a note database including a user name and a note table; wherein, the note table includes: note owner, note content, and original text content. Associating the note with the original text content corresponding to the note, and storing the note and the original text content, that is, storing the note and the original text content corresponding to the note in the note table of the note database In "Notes" and "Original Content" under a note entry of .

Specifically, since the notes input by the user generally include symbols and characters, the original content corresponding to the notes can be acquired in the following three ways: first, according to the predetermined symbols in the notes, obtain the original text marked by the symbols Content: According to the character in the note, get the original text content in the area corresponding to the character. In this method, it is assumed that the mark symbols and characters are at the same level, and the original text extraction processing is performed separately. Second, when the note contains a predetermined mark symbol, obtain the original text content marked by the mark symbol; when the note does not contain the predetermined mark symbol but only contains characters, obtain the original text content in the area corresponding to the character. In this method, it is assumed that the level of mark symbols is higher than that of characters, that is, when notes contain both mark symbols and characters, the original text is only extracted according to mark symbols. The third method is to obtain the original text content in the area corresponding to the character when the note contains characters; to obtain the original text content marked by the mark symbol when the note does not contain characters but only contains predetermined marks. This method assumes that the level of characters is higher than that of marks, that is, when a note contains both marks and characters, the original text is only extracted by characters.

In an exemplary embodiment, the note table includes: note owner, note index number, original text attribute, original text content, note content and other attributes.

An example of a notebook in this embodiment is:

note_table(INDEX, BOOKNUM, BOOKNAME, BOOKPAGE, BEGINLINE, BEGINPOS, ENDLINE, ENDPOS, CONTEXT, NOTE, OWNER, ISOPEN).

Specifically, the attributes of the note table are as follows: note index number (INDEX): identifies the serial number of the note under the same bibliography, and is sorted in ascending order of creation time. Document index number (BOOKNUM): identifies the index number stored in the electronic book for the document read by the user. Each document index number should be unique within the same eBook. This document index number is an important basis for querying notes. Adding this field in the database prevents the occurrence of duplicate document names. Document name (BOOKNAME): the name of the document read by the user. Document page number (BOOKPAGE): the page number of the document where the note is located. A document page number may correspond to 0 or more notes. The beginning line of the selected text segment (BEGINLINE): the starting line number of the selected text segment. Selected text segment start position (BEGINPOS): The selected text segment starts from the Nth character in the start line, and this start position is represented by BEGINPOS. The end line of the selected text segment (ENDLINE): the end line number of the selected text segment. The end position of the selected text segment (ENDPOS): the selected text segment ends at the Nth character position in the end line, and this end position is represented by ENDPOS.

The selected text segment can be determined by the above four attributes of the selected text segment start line (BEGINLINE), selected text segment start position (BEGINPOS), selected text segment end line (ENDLINE) and selected text segment end position (ENDPOS) content range.

The content of the selected text segment (CONTEXT): that is, the content of the above-mentioned original text. Note content (NOTE). Note owner (OWNER): The note table is associated with the user name through this attribute.

In an exemplary embodiment, the e-book created is an e-book based on Epub (electronic publication, a free and open e-book standard), and the content of the e-book is written in HTML (HyperText Mark-upLanguage, hypertext markup language) The file format of the e-book is displayed, the file name of the e-book is the Epub file name, and the chapter file name of the e-book is the HTML file name. In other implementation manners, the e-book is not limited to an e-book in Epub format, but may also be an e-book in other formats, such as a layout file (picture).

Among them, the HTML file format is relative to the layout typesetting, and the text, numbers, tables and graphics images contained in the document are processed in a specific typesetting manner. The saved content is the original editing element, and the user can view the edited content through the reading software. Layout style, and can be displayed in an adaptive layout size between different zoom ratios. On e-book readers with small screens, the best performance is that the initial layout can be automatically rearranged after zooming in, and the line breaks of paragraphs can be adjusted according to the screen width to fit within the field of view of a single page. The biggest difference between layout typesetting and flow typesetting is that its layout is fixed, and it is always displayed in the original edited layout during the reading process, and will not be automatically retypeset according to the page width after zooming. For example, PDF files made from scanned initial image manuscripts, and some are PDF graphic and plain text files made in a fixed format.

In an exemplary embodiment, the e-book catalog column can be arranged according to the chronological order in which the user data is added; the chapter column sorts the user data according to the chapters of the original e-book, and the user can sort the user data according to the original e-book Select the user data to be consulted in the chapters; the e-books can also be arranged according to the type of the user data.

In an exemplary embodiment, the server updates the directory link address of the streaming document, that is, each directory item link points to the corresponding chapter just generated; the server generates Epub files and PDF files for all content; the client downloads or browses the newly generated e-book.

A method for creating an e-book provided by the embodiment of the present invention can automatically collect, organize and typeset the notes, underlines, book reviews, etc. (PDF) e-book format.
