Abstract
A hyper-media document management system manages a virtual hyper-media document having data such as images, figures, texts, vocal sounds and animations. The hypermedia document management system has a virtual node manager for managing virtual node and a virtual link manager for managing virtual link. By introducing the virtual node and link, each application program is limited to refer to or modify the virtual hyper-media document, independently.
Claims17
A hyper-media document management system, comprising:
- a document manager for managing a hyper-media document;
- a virtual document manager for managing virtual hyper-media documents corresponding to said hyper-media document, and for providing said virtual hyper-media documents to corresponding application programs, said virtual document manager changing each of said virtual hyper-media documents from what said hyper-media document is, in response to corresponding application programs;
- and
- a navigation manager for tracing said hyper-media document and said virtual hyper-media documents.
1 more element
A hyper-media document management system, comprising:
- a storage for storing a hyper-media document and a virtual hyper-media document which includes a change from what said hyper-media documents is, wherein said change is made in response to each of application programs;
- a document manager for managing said hyper-media document;
- a virtual document manager for managing virtual hyper-media documents which are respectively provided to the application programs, and for providing said virtual hyper-media documents to corresponding application programs, said virtual document manager changing each of said virtual hyper-media documents from what said hyper-media document is, in response to corresponding application programs;
- and
- a navigation manager for tracing said hyper-media document and said virtual hyper-media document.
2 more elements
A hyper-media document management system, comprising:
- a storage for storing a hyper-media document having nodes for indicating media data and links indicating a relationship between pairs of said nodes, and for storing virtual hyper-media documents, each of which includes a change from what said hyper-media document is and each of which is provided to each of corresponding application programs, having virtual nodes for indicating instances of said nodes and virtual links indicating a relationship between pairs of said nodes and said virtual nodes, wherein said change is made in response to each of the application programs;
- a virtual document manager for managing said virtual hyper-media documents which are respectively provided to the application programs, and for providing said virtual hyper-media documents to corresponding application programs, said virtual document manager changing each of said virtual hyper-media documents from what said hyper-media document is, in response to corresponding application programs, said virtual document manager comprising:
- a node manager for managing said nodes of said hyper-media document and said virtual links of said virtual hyper-media document, and a link manager for managing said links of said hyper-media document and said virtual links of said virtual hyper-media document;
- and
- a navigation manager for tracing said hyper-media document and said virtual hypermedia documents.
2 more elements
A computer-readable storage medium recording thereon a program enabling a computer to perform:
- a document managing processing for managing a hyper-media document;
- a virtual document managing processing for managing virtual hyper-media documents corresponding to said hyper-media document, and for providing said virtual hyper-media documents to corresponding application programs, said virtual document managing processing changing each of said virtual hyper-media documents from what said hyper-media document is, in response to corresponding application programs;
- and
- a navigation managing processing for tracing said hyper-media document and said virtual hyper-media documents.
1 more element
A computer-readable storage medium recording thereon a program enabling a computer to perform:
- a storing processing for storing a hyper-media document and a virtual hyper-media document which includes a change from what said hyper-media document is, wherein said change is made in response to each of application programs:
- a document managing processing for managing said hyper-media document;
- a virtual document managing processing for managing said virtual hyper-media documents which are respectively provided to the application programs, and for providing said virtual hyper-media documents to corresponding application programs, said virtual document managing processing changing each of said virtual hyper-media documents from what said hyper-media document is in response to corresponding application programs;
- and
- a navigation managing processing for tracing said hyper-media document and said virtual hyper-media documents.
2 more elements
A hyper-media document management system, which manages hyper-media documents each including a plurality of nodes corresponding to media data and having a linkage information and function information to be applied to said media data, said system comprising:
- a virtual node manager for managing a virtual node, which corresponds to said node, together with a virtual link information indicating a tracing information for said virtual node and a function information to be applied to said media data as a virtual node;
- and
- a virtual hyper-media document manager for managing a virtual hyper-media document including at least one said virtual node in response to an application program in accordance with said virtual link information and function information to be applied to said media data as a virtual node.
