In the area where the structure for searching the contents is displayed, for example, as the nail heading 52, the left and right sides of the main frame 51 are displayed in the vertical direction, and the large items added by the author and marks for important items are displayed. On the contrary, by displaying a mark required by the user on the horizontal direction above the main frame 51 like the sticky note 53, the structure of the mark created by the author and the structure of the mark created by the user are separated. To do. Further, based on the information on the thickness 54 of the books displayed on the left and right sides and the bottom of the book frame 51, the current position information in the information expressed as one book and the nail heading 52 are pasted at the position of the corresponding thickness. Thus, it is possible to display the amount of each information classified by the nail index 52 from the outside. By combining the separation of the areas for displaying information and the display for expressing the structure of information in this way, the structure of a book in the real world can be expressed on a flat display.

As shown in FIG. 1, the multimedia information search / presentation system of this embodiment is a search server that finds information of matching contents from the client system 1 used by a user and search conditions such as keywords. The system 2 and the relay server system 3 for giving information for allowing the user to understand the position of the searched information
And a content server system 4 that stores information about the content to be browsed.

The client system 1 receives a search condition for information such as a keyword from a user and transfers it to the search server system 2, and a search result acquisition unit for presenting a list of search results to the user. 15, the information selected by the user from the list of displayed search results is identified, and the identifier of the information and the data such as the search condition when the information is searched are transferred to the relay server system 3. The information selection unit 16, the document information analysis unit 24 that analyzes attribute information such as search conditions added to the content information acquired from the relay server system 3, and the attribute information from the content information when presented to the user. Follow the procedure below to acquire the information of the page to be displayed first and identify the information that matches the search condition attached to the attribute information in the page that opens first. A power sale display information control unit 25, and from this information display unit 26 for presenting the content information to the user.

The search server system 2 stores a bibliographic information database 13 that stores bibliographic information such as an index for searching in order to search for book-type information that matches the input search conditions from the client system 1. The bibliographic information database 13 is composed of a search service unit 12 that searches for the search conditions, and a list data generation unit 14 that creates a list of candidate main form information to be presented to the user from the search results and transfers the list to the client system 1. There is.

The relay server system 3 includes an identifier for acquiring the content information from the content information sent from the information selection unit 16 of the client system 1 and information of the search condition input by the user in the content information. And a database access unit 18 that acquires the corresponding information in the relay server system 3 and the content server system 4 by using the extracted unique identifier.
A content information database 19 for storing content information in the relay server system 3, and a database access unit 1

The process of converting the content with the information that matches the page and the content information with the search condition added and providing it to the user, and presenting it to the user as information in this format as shown in the figure, It consists of three processes of simultaneously displaying the input search conditions and the like on the page of this format for easy identification.

Next, the processing in this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

When a user tries to view information in a book form,
When the user inputs the search condition indicating the information desired to be browsed from the search condition input unit 11 in step 31, the search condition input to the search service unit 12 is transferred.

At step 32, the search service unit 12
The bibliographic information database 13 is searched under the search condition input by the user, and the corresponding multimedia document is searched. The data structure of the bibliographic information database 13 is, as shown in Table 1, at least book identification data such as a real name for identifying each book-type multimedia document, and page identification data showing page information of each multimedia document. It has text data or keyword data that is searched according to the search conditions.

[0022]

[Table 1] Since this identification data only needs to be able to identify the multimedia document information in the database 13, it is an identifier such as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) used in the World Wide Web on the Internet as shown in Table 1, for example. Alternatively, it may be an identifier for each piece of information in the multimedia database.

According to the present invention, when the multimedia document information corresponding to the search condition input by the user is presented, there is information matching the search condition input by the user in the multimedia document information. Since the purpose is to indicate the position, the process of searching the relevant multimedia document information according to the user's search condition may be the same as the process of normal full-text search and keyword search, and can be easily analogized. Therefore, it is omitted.

From the multimedia document information sent from the content sending unit 23 of the relay server system 3, the client system 1
In step 39, the document information analysis unit 24 cuts out the page identifier attached to the information and the search condition input by the user. In step 40, the display information control unit 25 uses the value of the page identifier to acquire the information of the page to be presented to the user when the book is first opened from the multimedia document information. In the information, mark the area of the character string that matches the search condition entered by the user. As a method of marking, if a character other than the character string to be marked is a black character, for example, a red character is added to the character to be marked, as shown in FIG. It is achieved by adding attributes such as blue and blue other than black.

Information that has been marked by the display information control unit 25 for the user to browse is displayed in step 41.
Then, the information is sent to the information display unit 26, and the user is made to browse the information in this format. A method for a user to browse this form on a computer is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-274396.
