Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of document management, and particularly relates to a document management plug-in system, method and storage medium based on browser extension. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of Internet technology, the digital degree of academic research and knowledge sharing has been continuously improved. Researchers and students need to frequently obtain document information from web pages, online databases and other digital resources in their daily work, and organize, store and manage it. For this reason, document management tools such as Zotero have emerged, which can help users efficiently collect, organize and cite document resources.

[0003] However, there are some deficiencies in the existing document management tools in terms of interacting with web page content. For example, when browsing web pages, users need to manually identify the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) or ISBN (International Standard Book Number) of documents and manually import them into the document management tools. This process is not only cumbersome but also error-prone, especially when dealing with a large number of documents, which greatly reduces work efficiency. In addition, when the number of documents is large, it is necessary to manually check whether the documents in the web page already exist in the document management tools, which greatly increases the workload of document management.

[0004] Therefore, in document management, it is urgent to develop a new tool to realize the interaction between the browser and the document management software, so that the process of adding documents to the document management software based on the DOI or ISBN information in the web page is more efficient and convenient.

[0050] Example 1 Literature management plug-in system and method based on browser extension

[0051] The system of this embodiment includes:

[0052] A front-end module, configured to: automatically detect and mark DOIs and ISBNs in web pages, communicate with background scripts to obtain literature status information, and provide an interactive interface for users to import and open literature;

[0053] A background module, configured to: listen for message requests from the front-end module, communicate with the local service module to obtain literature status and process import requests;

[0054] A local service module, configured to: process requests from the background module, query literature information in the local literature management software database, and call the literature management software API to implement the addition of literature.

[0055] The method for literature management through this system includes the following steps:

[0056] The front-end module automatically detects and marks DOIs and ISBNs in web pages; the marking methods include but are not limited to: highlighting DOIs and ISBNs, or setting status tags near DOIs and ISBNs for display.

[0057] The front-end module receives user operation requests through the user interaction interface and sends the requests to the background module;

[0058] The background module receives the requests from the front-end module, communicates with the local service module to obtain literature status information or process literature import requests;

[0059] The local service module queries literature information or performs literature import operations through interaction with the literature management software database;

[0060] Feedback the operation result to the front-end module and display it to the user through the user interface.

[0061] In this embodiment, the literature management tool Zotero is taken as an example, and the component composition of each module is as follows:

[0062] 1. The front-end module includes the following components:

[0063] content.js: mainly responsible for the processing and interaction of web page content, including:

[0064] Automatically detect and label DOI and ISBN.

[0065] Communicate with the background script to obtain the literature status information.

[0066] Provide an interactive interface for users to import and open literature.

[0067] styles.css: defines the styles of the elements inserted by the plugin in the web page to ensure visual consistency.

[0068] popup.html and popup.js: the interface and logic processing of the plugin pop-up window, including:

[0069] Display the function description and usage guide of the plugin.

[0070] Display the running status of the local service and Zotero.

[0071] 2. The background module includes the following components:

[0072] background.js: as the background script of the plugin, responsible for:

[0073] Listen for message requests from content.js.

[0074] Communicate with the local Flask service to obtain the literature status and process import requests.

[0075] manifest.json: the configuration file of the plugin, which defines information such as the permissions, scripts, and resources of the plugin.

[0076] 3. The local service module includes the following components:

[0077] flask_script.py: a local server based on the Flask framework, and its main functions include:

[0078] Process HTTP requests from the plugin and query the literature information in the local Zotero database.

[0079] Receive import requests and call the Zotero API to implement the addition of literature.

[0080] Provide a simple interface to ensure secure and efficient communication between the plugin and Zotero.

[0081] As a preferred method, in different situations, the element styles inserted by the plugin system of this embodiment in the web page of the browser are as Figures 1 to 4 shown.

[0082] As a preferred method, the implementation of some specific technologies in this embodiment is as follows:

[0083] content.js identifies DOIs and ISBNs through regular expressions, considering various possible writing forms. Through string normalization processing, the influence of whitespace characters, case, and invalid symbols is eliminated. Caching of query results is implemented in content.js, and a cache expiration time is set, which can reduce duplicate queries and improve performance.

[0084] The front-end module and the back-end module interact through asynchronous communication. By using asynchronous functions and Promises, it is ensured that the interface will not freeze during the query and import processes, improving the user experience.

[0085] Comprehensive exception handling and logging are added in flask_script.py for easy debugging and maintenance. User-friendly error prompts are provided in the plugin through content.js to guide users to perform corresponding operations.

[0086] The permissions of the plugin and the accessible domains are strictly limited in manifest.json to ensure user data security. Content Security Policy (CSP) is used to prevent the execution of insecure scripts.

[0087] In summary, by adopting the system and method of this embodiment, the following functions can be achieved:

[0088] 1. Automatically identify academic identifiers: During the process of browsing the web page, the plugin can automatically detect DOIs and ISBN identifiers in the web page and mark them, facilitating users to identify and manage.

[0089] 2. Real-time check the literature status: By interacting with the local Zotero library, it is checked in real-time whether the detected identifiers already exist in the user's Zotero literature library and are distinguished by different marks.

[0090] 3. One-click import of literature: For literature not in the Zotero library, users can click the button provided by the plugin to import the corresponding literature information into Zotero with one click, supporting the quick addition of the simplest information.

[0091] 4. Quick access to existing literature: For literature that already exists in the Zotero library, the plugin provides a shortcut to directly open Zotero and locate the corresponding literature, improving the user's work efficiency.

[0092] 5. Status indication and interaction feedback: The plugin provides real-time service status indication, prompting the user about the running status of the local Flask service and Zotero, ensuring the normal use of the functions.

[0093] Thus, the present invention provides an efficient, accurate, and convenient literature management plugin system and method, which has good application prospects.
