In addition to link, the associated metadata of the page can include one or more other information blocks on the page. For example, metadata can provide the document information that the page is its composition, such as document name or other identifiers, and/or author, Size, and/or creation time or document final version time.Again for example, metadata can provide have been applied to or to be applied to The information of one or more contents limitation of the page, for example, limitation is accessed, editor or modification limitation, and/or page encryption.

Metadata can also provide the information on medium content.This information can include, such as page subject matter And/or the identification of object, include the page address portions of one or more objects, and/or in the page one or more objects details Degree.In various examples, common subject matter, object are shared or between object-theme or the page of theme-object relationship Link can be inferred to from the metadata of identification respective document theme and/or object.In these examples, page subject matter and/or The explanation of object can be enough as the information suitably linked between the identification page.

In one example, the binding of the page may further include connector 204 and be configured the one or more use of identification In the placement model of at least some of page.In this example, the extraction for the page, generation or carried in addition by connector The associated metadata of confession may further include respective page arrangement mode each in specified one or more placement models Information.For corresponding placement model, this can include, such as specified page（Or more particularly its visable representation）Size, Position and/or depth（Z-axis order）.Can identify placement model and in a number of different ways in any one, such as root Size, position and/or depth are specified according to one or more business rules, logic or its analog.

Suitable layout model（Sometimes referred to as on behalf of displaying style）Example include brick wall（brickwall）, part brick wall （partial brickwall）, hierarchical structure（hierarchy）, shape（shape）, it is placed in the middle outwards（center out）, from upper Under and/triangle（top-down/triangulated）, placed in the middle outwards triangle（center-out triangulated）, size dominate（size dominance）, pass through overlay details（overlap through detai l）、 Pass through depth master-details（master-detail through depth）, loading shape（load shape）, facet （facet）, blending agent/static state-dynamic（mixedmedia/static-and-dynamic）Or its analog.Other examples The combination of one or more aforementioned arrangement models can be included.In some example placement models each can be further below Description.

In one example, page-size can be appointed as absolute size or relative size in placement model, therein every It is individual to provide in a number of different ways.In various examples, page-size can be related to pixel size, so as to give page-out Pixel quantity or pixel resolution.In one example, the absolute size of the page can be provided with height and width dimensions（Example Such as, N*M pixels）.In another example, page-size can be based on other related one or more pages of the page logic Size is appointed as relative size.For example, relative size can provide in a number of different ways, such as with percentage, other pages Fraction or multiple；Or relative size can be only by being less than, more than or equal to other page-sizes instruction provide.Passing through In the related page of parent-sub- level relation, for example, the size of subpage frame can be appointed as the half of his father's page-size.Big It is small be correlation in the case of, the size of other corresponding pages can provide in their associated metadata, and can be based on Other further page-sizes provide absolute size or relative size.

Similar to size, in one example, page location in placement model（Sometimes referred to as on behalf of positioning）It can be appointed as Absolute position or relative position, but in any case, it can provide in a number of different ways.Similarly, in placement model Page depth can be appointed as absolute depth or relative depth, therein each to provide in a number of different ways.For example, page The absolute position in face can provide in the x of coordinate system, y-coordinate, wherein the coordinate system crosses over placement model, and/or Absolute depth can provide in the z coordinate of coordinate system.In another example, the relative position of the page can relative to Placement model midpoint or the x of other pages, provide in y-coordinate.In another example, relative position can be simply by layout mould Type midpoint or the instruction of the upper and lower, left and right of other pages provide.Similarly, in one example, relative depth can simply by The page provides in placement model before or after other pages.In the case of being correlation in position and/or depth, it is corresponding other The position of the page and/or depth can provide in its associated metadata, and can be given absolute or relative position and/or Depth.

It is Panoptic visualization document collection that connector 204, which can be configured the page and metadata communication or transmission, and Any one being sent in some different destinations will be gathered.In one example, connector can be configured the page and Metadata is sent to respective stored 206,208 for retrieval later.Storage can reside in one with collection of document system 200 Rise, or can separate with collection of document system and communicated with collection of document system.The page and metadata can be with some Any one in different modes is formatted and stored, and therefore, their storage can be any one in some different types It is individual.The example of suitable storage class stores including file, database purchase, cloud storage or its analog.

In various examples, before the page is stored in respective stored 206, the page can be compressed or in addition Handle for being easier to store and retrieving.As illustrated, for example, system can include being connected to connector piece device together （tiler）210, and connector is configured to it and transmits the page.For each in one or more pages, piecing device together can be with It is configured page visable representation in corresponding resolution of the generation for page zoom-in and zoom-out rank.As described herein, in each contracting Put the page of rank（Or but its visable representation）" subgraph " is commonly referred to as, and sometimes may be considered the page Independent version or copy.But, as described above, the subgraph of the page is not necessarily to include rest image, although the page can wrap Include other Media Contents types.

In addition to except generation page subgraph or replacing generation page subgraph, piece device 210 together and can be configured and will pass through The progressive larger number that is divided into of the subgraph of level of zoom is pieced together（tile）, it is therein each to piece together in corresponding level of zoom covering The area of space of image.As further explained below, this is easy to retrieve, translate and/or scale the page.Then, this pieces device together It can be further configured and piecing together for page subgraph is sent to such as page storage.But before transmission is pieced together, if If needing, piece device together and can be further configured compression and piece together.

In a more specific example, piecing device 210 together can be configured in from highest level of zoom by one or more The corresponding level of zoom of middle level of zoom to benchmark level of zoom hierarchal arrangement generates multiple resolution ratio of the page.Each scaling Rank includes the subgraph of full page, but in different resolution；And can have through the page subgraph of level of zoom Identical original the ratio of width to height（Ratio of the picture traverse to its height）.In one example, highest level of zoom（Rank 0）It can wrap Subgraph of the full page in its lowest resolution is included, one or more middle level of zoom can include full page progressive High-resolution（Intermediate level 1 is less than rank 0, and rank 2 is less than rank 1 etc.）Subgraph, and benchmark level of zoom（Rank L）Full page can be included in its highest（It is or complete）The subgraph of resolution ratio.

Can in a number of different ways in any one generation the page each subgraph.In one example, subgraph One as in, such as full resolution subgraph can receive by piecing device 210 together.Then, piece device together and can be configured to generate and exist Other subgraphs of low resolution, such as pass through lower sampling full resolution subgraph.

As described herein, piece device 210 together and can be configured and will pass through the subgraph of level of zoom and progressive be divided into larger number Piece together, it is therein each in the area of space of corresponding level of zoom covering subgraph.Piece together can have in level of zoom and Through the fixed size of level of zoom（Resolution ratio）, and correspondingly, can be than by relatively low by largely piecing the subgraph formed together The subgraph that quantity pieces composition together has high-resolution.Therefore, each level of zoom can be regarded as relative to above The higher level of zoom of any level of zoom（Have in the subgraph of the level of zoom than the subgraph of level of zoom above Higher resolution）.Similarly, each level of zoom can be regarded as to the relatively low scaling relative to any level of zoom under it Rank（There is more low resolution than the subgraph of level of zoom under it in the subgraph of the level of zoom）.

In one example, can be and then level of zoom resolution ratio under it in the subgraph of each level of zoom Half, and be and then twice of level of zoom resolution ratio on it（Resolution ratio is increased or decreased with 2 factor）.At this In example, the quantity pieced together in level of zoom l can be by t_l=t₀×4^lProvide, wherein l=0,1,2 ..., L, and t₀Represent In highest level of zoom（Rank 0）Piece quantity together.Including four level of zoom 0,1,2 and 3（L=3）More specific example In, and wherein highest level of zoom subgraph pieced together by one and forms（t₀=1）, the first middle level of zoom（Rank 1）Son Image can be pieced together by 4 and formed, and be scaled among second（Rank 2）Subgraph is pieced together by 16 and formed, and benchmark zoom-level Not（Rank 3）Subgraph can be pieced together by 64 and formed.

In one example, can be respectively by with higher or lower by some pages for piecing covering together in a level of zoom Level of zoom increase or decrease quantity piece covering together, so as to produce the increase of page resolution and reduction.Similarly, one Individual level of zoom can be by the multiple of adjacent higher level of zoom by a page area for piecing covering together（For example, four）Piece together Covering, so as to produce the increase of page respective regions resolution ratio.And in a level of zoom by multiple pages for piecing covering together Region can piece covering together by adjacent one compared with level of zoom, so as to produce the reduction of page respective regions resolution ratio.

In one example, in the page of specified resolution（Or page area）Can be by matching with specified resolution The Tiled Display of level of zoom cover page.The amplification of the page can be by using the increase number in higher level of zoom cover page The replacement display of piecing together of amount is pieced together to realize.And the diminution of the page can be by with subtracting compared with level of zoom cover page The replacement display of piecing together of small number is pieced together to realize.And pieced together because the page can be divided into, used in the figure of the display page Family interface（GUI）Middle page address portions are visible rather than all in visible example, are only the spellings of those cover page visible parts Patch can be retrieved and show.

Fig. 3 shows the document layout system 300 according to an exemplary embodiments.As described above, document layout system 300 It can be an example of the document layout system 104 of Fig. 1 panoptic visualization systems 100.Usual document layout system can be through The panorama arrangement of configuration generation Panoptic visualization document collection, the layout of logic related pages.This set can be, such as text The set of shelves aggregation system 102, or can be more specifically Fig. 2 collection of document system 200 in one example.

As shown in figure 3, document layout system 300 can include search engine 302, it is configured and receives Media Contents request simultaneously And identification includes request interface of one or more pages of requested Media Contents or the like.The identified page can be tool There is the Panoptic visualization document collection of multiple pages, each page therein includes respective media content and had to provide accordingly The associated metadata of page info.The page and metadata can be stored in respective stored 304,306, and it can in one example With with respective stored 206 shown in Fig. 2,208 corresponding.

Search engine 302 can be configured identifies the page in a number of different ways, such as the association member based on the set page Data.For example, request can include being matched with the theme of the set page or the keyword of object or have and set in addition The theme of the page or the correlation of object.As the response to request, then, search engine can be configured search metadata and deposit Storage 306 include being matched with or be relevant to request Media Contents one or more pages associated metadata.

As illustrated, this arrangement can include dominant main page 1602a, 1602b placed in the middle and positioned at main page week Enclose, be related to main page（For example, layering is related）The page 1604.

Fig. 4 is now gone back to, it shows the document navigation system 400 according to an exemplary embodiments.As described above, Document navigation System 400 can be an example of the document navigation system 106 of Fig. 1 panoptic visualization systems 100.Document navigation system typically may be used Be configured as navigating the panorama arrangement of Panoptic visualization document collection, the layout selection of logic related pages and offer navigation choosing .In one example, this can include coming from collection of document system 102（For example, collection of document system 200）Set.It is attached Add ground or alternatively, for example, its can include by document layout system 104（For example, document layout system 300）The cloth of generation Office.

As shown in figure 4, document navigation system 400 can include being configured receiving the Panoptic visualization document collection page（Text Shelves component）Layout navigation engine 402.Set can have multiple pages, and each page therein is included in respective media Hold and with the associated metadata for providing respective page information.Layout can according to the associated metadata of respective page, including The panorama arrangement of layout page visable representation.

Navigation engine 402 can also be configured as navigation layout and one or more navigation choosings are selected from multiple navigation options , wherein navigation options can select according to the associated metadata for layout page.Navigation options model can be corresponding Storage, such as is preserved in file storage, database purchase, cloud storage or its analog, and according to respective stored with it is some not Format and store with any one in mode.Similarly, the metadata for layout page can be stored in respective stored In 404, it can be all corresponding with the one or both in storage 208,306 in one example.Navigation engine can be with It is configured and selected navigation options is sent to such as GUI, can be wherein along layout displaying wherein being chosen navigation options.

In one example, navigation engine 402 can be configured selects navigation options according to Doctype, wherein the cloth Office's page is the composition component of document, and it can be indicated in the associated metadata for the page.In one example, navigation is drawn Hold up can be configured according to the Media Contents of layout page select navigation options, the Media Contents such as their theme and/or Object, it can also be indicated in associated metadata.Suitable navigation option example for layout includes command tools（For example, Translation, rotation, scaling, dimmed/display, homing etc.）, the Note tool（For example, timetable/milestone, callout etc.）, The Link tool（Hyperlink, hot link, focus etc.）, guidance path instrument（For example, tracking, record etc.）, metadata tool（Example Such as, search for, filter, inserting etc.）, page tool（For example, search, filtering, prompting, activation, size, position, domination, logic pass System etc.）, placement model change, cooperation navigation, the low navigation of super-, printing or its analog.

For layout page associated metadata can it is direct or it is indirect influence be chosen navigation options.In an example In, associated metadata can be retrieved, to directly affect the navigation options selected by navigation engine 402.Additionally or it can replace Ground is changed, for example, the associated metadata for the page can influence their layout, such as by influenceing to be chosen placement model, And layout can be generated according to selected placement model.More specifically, for example, can according to the Doctype of the page and/or Placement model's generation page layout of the Media Contents selection of the page.Then, layout can influence leading by navigation engine selection Navigate option.Associated metadata it is direct or it is indirect influence be chosen navigation options either case under, it may be said that be navigation draw Hold up according to the associated metadata selection navigation options for being used for layout page.

Document navigation system 400 can also include being connected to navigation engine 402 and be configured according to one or more selected Select the request interface 404 that navigation options receive request.The request interface, which can be configured, transfers a request to navigation engine.Navigation Engine can be further configured the adjustment for influenceing layout visable representation successively, as the response to request, and according to this The adjustment is sent to for example foregoing GUI by request.In one example, navigation engine can be configured in layout and itself not have In the case of adjustment, the adjustment of visable representation is influenceed.In another example, navigation engine, which can be configured influence, includes cloth The adjustment of the visable representation of office's adjustment.

As described above, being chosen navigation options can be influenceed by layout and/or its page, or in a more specific example In, by the associated metadata influence for layout page.In various examples, the layouts of the different pages can produce one or more The selection of more different navigation options.Can not homogeneous reception first page layout and second page for example, considering navigation engine 402 Individually layout, wherein each layout includes the panoramaization arrangement of respective page.In this example, navigation engine can select to use In the first navigation options of the first layout, and the second navigation options for the second layout.The individual page can more than first and second With including one or more public pages, but in one example, one or more different pages can also be included.In this example In son, the first and second layouts are different, include one or more different pages at least as more than the first and second individual pages. And then although the first and second navigation options selected by navigation engine can include one or more different navigation option-classes The individual page more than first and second is similar to, but the first and second navigation options can include one or more common pilot options.

Navigation engine 402 can be configured selection for any one in some different navigation options of page layout. According to many different placement models and many layouts including many different document type pages can include command tools, such as Translate, rotate, scaling dimmed/display, homing or the like.It is a part of in the GUI of display layout in various examples Layout rather than whole layouts are visible.This can be such situation, for example, being more than GUI visibility regions in layout size （Occasionally referred to as " view "）Example in, or in layout be the 3D environment pages（For example, facet placement model）Example in. In these examples, navigation options can include translation and/or rotate to be laid out so as to mobile.This can include one into the visual field Individual or more layout page, and additionally or alternatively, the one or more pages for removing the visual field can be included.In the visual field In or move into the visual field layout page can be retrieved and show, and out of sight or remove the visual field the page can be from display Delete.Further, in instances, only a page part in the visual field or move into the visual field, and the page be divided into piece together with And only those of cover page visible part are pieced together and can be retrieved and show.

Command tools can also include zooming in or out layout, and so as to zoom in or out its page, this can include increase Or reduce the size of layout.Increasing or decreasing for this layout size can include increasing or decreasing size successively, and one In the various examples of individual example, including increase or decrease the resolution ratio of its page.

In one example, layout page can include the subgraph of the corresponding resolution for page zoom-in and zoom-out rank. In this example, for each respective page, layout can include being in being matched with or closest matching to by being chosen layout The page subgraph of the resolution ratio of model and/or associated metadata specified page size.Then, be laid out amplification can by with The corresponding subgraph of increase level of zoom replaces the subgraph of its page to realize, so as to increase resolution ratio.On the contrary, layout reduces Can be by replace the subgraph of its page in the corresponding subgraph page for reducing level of zoom to realize, being differentiated so as to reduce Rate.

In various examples, provided relative to the page or one or more pages of layout in level of zoom, the page or cloth The scaling of office（Zoom in or out）Can be feasible in trickle increment.The page（Individually or layout is a part of）Can zoom to just The related increment of page subgraph is shown, it is big that another subgraph of the page is matched with or closest matched to page increase/reduction It is small.In these examples, for example, scaling can be by with the corresponding subgraph replacement page of the page of higher/low resolution Subgraph is realized.But in other instances, the increment related to just showing page subgraph, same sub-image can be zoomed to Increase/reduction size as still closest matching to the page.In these examples, for example, scaling can be no with another In the case that individual higher/low resolution subgraph replaces the subgraph, realized by increasing page subgraph size.

In further example, the page not only includes corresponding subgraph, and can be by across the subgraph of level of zoom Gradually it is divided into larger number to piece together, it is therein each in the area of space of corresponding level of zoom covering subgraph.In this example In, the amplification of the page can spell by using the increased number of display for piecing the replacement page together in higher level of zoom cover page Paste to realize.On the contrary, the diminution of the page can piece replacement together by using in the reduction quantity compared with level of zoom cover page Display is pieced together to realize.It is laid out similar to translation, layout zooms in or out the one or more pages that can include into the visual field Face, and additionally or alternatively, the one or more pages for removing the visual field can be included.These pages can with similar to The mode of translation layout is handled, but with higher or lower level of zoom.

For one or more layouts, in addition to the size/resolution ratio for increasing or decreasing layout page, the scaling option can To imply other one or more navigation options, further to influence one or more pages.For example, superposition-pass through-details Placement model 1200 and master-details can imply that dimmed/display option by depth placement model 1300, wherein amplifying and contracting Hour, the superposition page can be dimmed in a manner of above-mentioned reference chart 12 and 13 or be shown relative to the page is applied.But should Work as understanding, dimmed/display option can be used for will be independent of the scaling option and the dimmed or display independently of the mutual page of superposition One or more layout pages.

Some navigation options including those described above command tools can influence to be laid out the adjustment of visable representation.Therefore, Homing option（home option）User can be allowed to return to visable representation from visable representation is adjusted.

Navigation options can include the Note tool, such as timetable/milestone, callout or its is similar.These instruments User can be allowed to layout addition annotation, and can be that some different layouts select different placement models, and including being permitted The page of more different document types.Timetable/milestone option in various examples can more specifically be applied to the time it is suitable The sequence page logically associated with each other.In one example, timetable/milestone can influence to be added to the visualization of layout, institute Layout page can be made as the milestone in timetable by stating visualization.

Navigation options can include such as hyperlink, hot link, focus or its similar the Link tool.According to super chain Selecting item, one or more pages（Each source）The Media Contents to other pages or other pages can be included（The page or Jie Matter content is target）Reference or link.Target pages or Media Contents can be in identical topologies, or in identical panorama visible Change collection of document but may not be in identical topology.Target can even include not in the page of identical Panoptic visualization document collection Face or Media Contents.

Hyperlink option can allow the source page to be included in the inline or subprocess in its Media Contents, from one or more The content of other more page links.This is sometimes more specifically referred to as hot link.Hyperlink can also allow for user from source page Face navigates to the one or more target pages for being linked to the respective sources page.In this respect, hyperlink can be with some differences Any one expression in mode, such as pass through text, figure or its analog.For example, medium content can format For the hyperlink to another page or another medium content.More specifically, it is for example, right described in a page As that can be formatted as to also describing another page hyperlink of the object, or it is formatted as in another page-describing The more direct hyperlink of object.This hyperlink type is occasionally referred to as focus.

Except it is foregoing or replace it is foregoing in addition to, for example, navigation options can include guidance path instrument, such as tracking, remember Record or its analog.According to exemplary embodiments, guidance path can in a number of different ways in any one definition.At one In example, guidance path can be translated, rotated, scaled and/or repositioned by user its one or more page layout, from One page navigation is to another page or Media Contents（Hyperlink）Order definition, or in addition influence layout tune It is whole（Or but its visual presence）.Guidance path instrument can allow the tracking followed by user and/or record guidance path, from And create navigation history.

The navigation options of one example can include metadata tool, such as search, filtering, insertion or its analog, its The associated metadata for layout page can be operated.Search and filtering option can allow user to search for for certain metadata Association layout, or filtering includes or excludes the associated metadata of certain metadata.Insertion option can allow certain metadata Insert to the visual presence of layout, such as by including in the form of the certain metadata callout for pointing to the page, for the page Face associated metadata includes certain metadata.
