Page dividing method of reading materials of electronic publication (Epub) form and system using the same

Abstract

The invention relates to a page dividing method of reading materials of electronic publication (Epub) form and a system using the page dividing method of the reading materials of the Epub form. The page dividing method of the reading materials of the Epub form comprises steps as below: obtaining address of the hypertext markup language (HTML) page of the reading materials of the Epub form, utilizing the src attribute of the IFrame of the HTML page to load the content of the reading materials of the Epub form asynchronously, building a div container to add the content of the reading materials, adding the CSS3 subfield type of the content of the reading materials inside the div container, adjusting the composing type of the content of the reading materials inside the div container, and calculating the total page number and the current page number of the content of the reading materials according to the CSS3 subfield type and the composing type to show the current page. The page dividing method of the reading materials of the electronic publication (Epub) form and the system using the page dividing method of the reading materials of the Epub form achieve fast and simple page-dividing of reading materials of the Epub form, and solve the line-pressing problem.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pagination method and system for reading materials in Epub format. Background technique [0002] Epub is a free and open standard, which belongs to a kind of content that can be "automatically rearranged", that is, the text content can be displayed in the most suitable way for reading according to the characteristics of the reading device. The Epub file internally uses XHTML or DTBook (an XML standard proposed by the DAISY Consortium) to display text, and wraps the file content in a zip compression format. The Epub format includes digital rights management (DRM) related functions for selection. [0003] It is precisely because Epub is a page similar to HTML, so the current Epub mostly uses a browser as the basis for parsing and reading. There are readers of Epub format readers implemented by browsers on PCs, mobile devices, and mobile phones. However, the biggest problem with these readers is that they do not support paginat...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

There are readers of Epub format readers implemented by browsers on PCs, mobile devices, and mobile phones. However, the biggest problem with these readers is that they do not support pagination, or even though paging is supported, there is line compression after paging, which means that the display is incomplete. Problem, in this case, the reading device needs to support touch operation to drag and turn pages, but there will still be problems such as repeated display, and the experience is very bad for reading devices without touch operation

[0004] To solve the problem of line suppression after pagination, it is usually necessary to modify the browser or rewrite the program to parse HTML tags, which is not only difficult, but also less feasible; to solve this problem, an open source third-party reader can also be used or code, but there are copyright or platform issues, and different platforms need to be rewritten or compiled
