Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing reading software often can only save and update the progress of e-books, but cannot solve the synchronization of reading progress between paper books and e-books. Users cannot freely switch between paper books and e-books, and can only Manually memorize the reading position of the paper book, and then manually turn the page to find the corresponding e-book, which is time-consuming and laborious

Embodiment 1

[0075] This embodiment provides a method for synchronizing reading progress, which synchronizes the reading progress of paper books and e-books, such as figure 1 shown, including:

[0076] Step S10: Receive the picture of the current page of the paper book marked with the current reading position sent by the client.

[0077] Step S11: Process the picture to obtain the character offset of the current reading position of the paper book in the whole book.

[0078] Step S12: Send the current reading position of the paper book to the character offset of the whole book and user account information to the e-book reading server, so that the e-book reading server can synchronize the reading progress of the e-book with the current reading of the paper book Location.

[0079] Wherein, the user account information is the user information registered by the user on the e-book reading server, and the user can read the e-book on the e-book reading server only through the user's account info...

Embodiment 2

[0089] This embodiment provides a reading progress synchronization method, including:

[0090] Step S10: Receive the picture of the current page of the paper book marked with the current reading position sent by the client.

[0091] Step S11: Process the picture to obtain the character offset of the current reading position of the paper book in the whole book.

[0092] This step specifically includes: image 3 as shown,

[0093] Step S111: Identify the current page number of the paper book.

[0094] Among them, the number in the lower right corner of the current page of the paper book is recognized by default as the page number N of the current page.

[0095] Step S112: Perform black and white pixel binarization processing on the image to identify the coordinate position of each character on the current page of the paper book.

[0096] In this step, the specific process of identifying the coordinate position of each character on the current page of the paper book is: conve...

Embodiment 3

[0124] This embodiment provides a reading progress synchronization method, such as Figure 5 As shown, on the basis of the reading progress synchronization method in Embodiment 1, the reading progress synchronization method also includes before step S10:

[0125] Step S07: Use the watermark layer pointer to mark the current reading position of the paper book.

[0126] Among them, the watermark layer pointer marking function is a function that comes with the client.

[0127] Step S08: Take a picture of the current page of the paper book marked with the current reading position.

[0128] Step S09: Send the picture to the application server.

[0129] The above steps S07 to S09 are the work done by the client when synchronizing the reading progress of the paper book with the e-book, so that the application server can process the pictures sent by the client.

[0130] In this embodiment, after step S22, the reading progress synchronization method further includes: step S23: recei...

Abstract

The invention provides a reading progress synchronization method and system, an application server end and a client. The reading progress synchronization method comprises the following steps of receiving pictures of the current pages of a paper book marking the current reading position sent by the client; processing the pictures; obtaining the character deviation quantity of the current reading position of the paper book in the whole book; sending the character deviation quantity of the current reading position of the paper book in the whole book and user account information to an electronic book reading server end. The reading progress synchronization method has the advantages that the user can conveniently synchronize the reading progress of the electronic book to the current reading position of the paper book at the electronic book reading server end; the synchronous switching from the paper book to the electronic book during the reading by the user is realized; meanwhile, when theuser reads the paper book, the reading progress of the paper book can be conveniently synchronized to the current reading position of the electronic book; the synchronous switching from the electronicbook to the paper book during the reading by the user is realized; great convenience is further provided for the user to realize the synchronous switching of the reading progress during the reading by using the paper book and the electronic book.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method and system for synchronizing reading progress, an application server and a client. Background technique [0002] In the era of mobile Internet, with the popularization of smart electronic products such as smart phones and tablet computers, people use various fragmented time to read e-books, but paper books are still indispensable. These two reading methods play an important role in modern people's life are ubiquitous. Many people choose to read paper books at home and read e-books when they go out, but how to synchronize the reading progress between these two reading methods is a problem to be solved. [0003] Existing reading software often can only save and update the progress of e-books, but cannot solve the synchronization of reading progress between paper books and e-books. Users cannot freely switch between paper books and e-books, and can only It ...
