US 5634062 AAbstract
A hypertext apparatus for managing hypertext composed of nodes holding information and of link information defining the relations between the nodes so as to display the information held by each of the nodes in accordance with the link information. The apparatus comprises: a node information management part for managing the nodes and for storing the information held by the nodes; a link information management part for putting into an order the link information defining the relations between the nodes; a link order manipulation part for manipulating the order of the link information; and a display control part for displaying the nodes successively in accordance with the order of the link information.
1. A system for managing hypertext information composed of nodes holding information and of link information for each node defining the relations between each said node and other nodes so as to display the information held by each of said nodes in accordance with said link information, said system comprising:node information storage means for managing said nodes and for storing the information held by said nodes; link information management means for arranging said link information into an order defining relations between said nodes; link order manipulation means for manipulating the order of said link information; and display control means for displaying said information held by the nodes in said node information storage means successively in accordance with the order of said link information; wherein said link information management means stores individual items of said link information in a data constitution that may be put into a desired order, and wherein said link order manipulation means references, adds to, deletes and switches any of the individual items of said data constitution. 2. A system for managing hypertext information composed of nodes holding information and of link information for each node defining the relations between each said node and other nodes so as to display the information held by each of said nodes in accordance with said link information, said system comprising:node information storage means for managing said nodes and for storing the information held by said nodes; link information management means for arranging said link information into an order defining relations between said nodes; link order manipulation means for manipulating the order of said link information; display control means for displaying said information held by the nodes in said node information storage means successively in accordance with the order of said link information; and link information browse means for providing a list of format display, on a display screen, of the order of at least a designated part of said link information managed by said link information management means. 3. The system according to claim 2, further comprising user interface means for directly manipulating the order of said link information displayed on said display screen by said link information browse means.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to overcome the above and other deficiencies and disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a hypertext apparatus for which a plurality of links may be established to define relations between nodes, the apparatus allowing the order of the nodes to be established as desired or subsequently modified.
FIG. 1 is an overall conceptual view of a typical data constitution composed of nodes and links for use with a typical hypertext apparatus;
One preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 5 is a block diagram of major component parts constituting a hypertext apparatus practiced as the preferred embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 is an interface control part; 2 is an input control part; 3 is a program execution part; 4 is a display control part; 5 is a node information management part; 6 is a link information management part; 7 is a link order manipulation part; and 8 is a link information entity management part. Nodes serve as the units of such information as text information, image information, sound information and motion pictures. Links form a data constitution which describes the relations between nodes and which may be interpreted by the program or by the system. In other words, links make up an object comprising a set of mutually related nodes.
