Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding, and they should be regarded as exemplary only. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention enables a client (hereinafter referred to as "initiating client") to make another client (hereinafter referred to as "target client") present a digital publication containing personalized information. The client here can be considered as a computer installed with client software, or as the client software. The above-mentioned clients are all connected to the server related to the digital publication on the network side. As shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network composed of a server and a client according to an embodiment of the present invention. Server 11 among Fig. 1 is the server of the relevant digital publication of network side, and it can connect a plurality of functionally identical clients, shows client 12, 13 to 1N among the figure, and these clients can also serve as originating clients Can be used as target client.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of basic steps of a method for providing a digital publication containing personalized information according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2 , the method for providing a digital publication containing personalized information in the embodiment of the present invention basically includes the following steps S21 to S23. This method can be performed by a server related to digital publications (hereinafter referred to as "server") on the network side.

Step S21: Acquiring personalized information, the identification of the digital publication, the position of the personalized information in the digital publication, and the identification of the target user.

The personalized information in this embodiment may be one or more of the following: text, pictures, audio data, and video data. The identifier of the target user here may be a user name of the user. The user name is the identity of the user when logging in with the client, and can be used to distinguish each target user. In addition, the user can also provide other information that can uniquely identify itself to the server through the client, such as the user's mobile phone number or email address.

When obtaining information such as personalized information, the identification of digital publications, and the location of personalized information in digital publications, it can be sent by the initiating client to the server, or can be read by the server from a storage location. The location has the above-mentioned information saved in advance by a certain client.

Step S22: Determine the download address of the digital publication according to the identifier of the digital publication, and determine the target client according to the identifier of the target user.

Step S23: Send the personalized information, the download address, and the location of the personalized information in the digital publication to the target client. After receiving the information, the target client can obtain the digital publication from the above download address, and add personalized information to the designated location of the digital publication. The addition here can be added when the target client presents the digital publication, or can be added in advance, so that the personalized information can be presented at the above-mentioned specified position in the digital publication during the process of presenting the digital publication.

The target client can display personalized information according to the specified style. The meaning of the style here is relatively broad, mainly referring to the visual effect to be achieved by the personalized information, such as the font, color, dynamic effect of the text, and the display size of the picture or video. To this end, information about the display style of the personalized information in the digital publication can be received from a client or read from a certain storage location, and then sent to the target client.

It can be seen from the above steps that the target client downloads the digital publication that does not contain personalized information, and the personalized information is sent to the target client by the server separately, and the target client adds the personalized information to the digital publication. In this way, there is no need for the server to make personalized information into the digital publication, which reduces the workload of the server; and the server or other storage devices on the network side do not need to save the digital publication with personalized information, saving the storage space of the server. So in general it helps to save the resources of the server or other related network equipment.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of basic steps of a method executed by an initiating client according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 3, the method mainly includes step S31 and step S32.

Step S31: Acquiring the personalized information, the identification of the digital publication, the position of the personalized information in the digital publication, and the identification of the target user. The acquired above information may be information input by the user initiating the client through the man-machine interface.

Step S32: Send the personalized information, the digital publication ID, the location of the personalized information in the digital publication, and the target user ID to the server. In this way, the server can determine the download address of the digital publication according to the identification of the digital publication and determine the target client according to the identification of the target user, and then send the personalized information, download address, and the position of the personalized information in the digital publication sent to the target client.

The initiating client can also obtain information about the display style of the personalized information in the digital publication, and send the information to the server. In this way, the server can send the information to the target client, so that the target client can present personalized information in the digital publication according to the display style.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of basic steps of a method performed by a target client according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 4, the method mainly includes the following steps S41 to S43.

Step S41: Receive the download address containing the digital publication, and receive personalized information and the location of the personalized information in the digital publication.

Step S42: Obtain the digital publication from the above download address, and associate it with the personalized information and the position of the personalized information in the digital publication. For example, the digital publication and the personalized information are stored in association and the location of the personalized information in the digital publication is recorded.

Step S43: During the process of presenting the digital publication, present personalized information at the above position in the digital publication.

Before presenting the digital publication, the display style information of the personalized information in the digital publication may be received first, so that the personalized information can be presented according to the display style.
