When the user needs to browse the images, the data can be timely and accurately found. The management of these image data is the core content, so an image segment and image position relation table is very necessary. The relation table of the image segment and the image position as shown in table 1 at least includes information about the keyword, the image file, and the start position and the end position of the image file, so that the image segment name and the image segment name thereof are locatedThe locations are correlated.

The starting position and ending position of the keyword image file are octada mountain great wall, mpg 00:05: 0300: 07:45 Musteyu great wall, mpg 00:09: 1800: 13:23 and Gongong, mpg 00:00: 0000: 13:24 … … … …

TABLE 1

When browsing the electronic map, the user first selects an area in the electronic map (step 310), for example, when we click on beijing in the chinese map while browsing the map shown in fig. 4, the map of beijing is displayed on the screen (as shown in fig. 5). The Beijing city map includes subordinate areas, including scenic spots, development areas, enterprise schools, etc. of Beijing city. The user can select the information content to be browsed in the screen according to the needs, and if the user selects to browse the scenic spots, all scenic spots of Beijing city, such as tourist attractions of great wall, the old palace and the like, can be displayed on the screen. The electronic map system stores the image introductions related to the scenic spots, and the user can select the scenic spot image to be watched on the screen, for example, the user can directly select the 'Imperial palace' in the dialog box shown in FIG. 5, and the system will play the image introductions related to the Imperial palace as shown in FIG. 6. Of course, the user may also input a keyword of the sight spot (step 320), for example, the user inputs "great wall", the system queries the relation table between the image segments and the image position, searches the image segment name matching the keyword (step 330) to determine whether there is an image introduction of the sight spot stored, and if there is a corresponding image segment, records the positions of all the searched image segments, i.e., their relative start times (step 340). After searching, two image segments are found to meet the search condition input by the user, at this time, the system pops up a dialog box, the dialog box lists all searched image segments related to the great wall, including the great wall of the octada mountain and the great valley, and then prompts the user to select a playing mode (step 350), and the user can select one or more segments from the searched image segments to play randomly. If only one video clip is selected (step 380), if only the video clip of the great wall of octada is played, only the video clip is played (step 390). The playing mode selected by the user can be sequential playing or reverse playing (step 360), the system receives the playing mode input by the user, and then sorts the searched image segment positions according to the selection of the user (step 370), wherein the sorting is to sort and combine the image segments according to the playing mode input by the user, if the playing sequence from the Hada Changchun to the Mutianyu Changchun is defined as the sequential playing, otherwise, the playing sequence from the Mutianyu Changchun to the Hada Changchun is reverse playing. Therefore, the sequence playing and the reverse playing can be realized only by arranging the sequence of the image segments of the Ba Da Ling great wall and the Mutianyu great wall. After the corresponding image segments are specifically arranged and combined, the user can independently select the advancing direction of the image, such as the directions of up, down, left, right, front and back, and the like, and even can completely and freely jump, so that the watching requirement of the user is more perfectly met, and the use of the user is greatly facilitated.

Although the invention has been described with respect to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
