[0031] The technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0032] The problems existing in the existing technologies related to map display are as follows:

[0033] First, that is, the electronic map system, which is a system that requires users to actively view or search for a certain location and its surroundings.

[0034] Second, general pure text, where generally the author does not add a map. For the described locations, readers need to look up the map by themselves;

[0035] Third, text and graphics, where the graphics may be non-map pictures and map pictures. Map pictures are generally actively added by the author according to the content needs, but often do not fully and comprehensively display all the locations involved.

[0036] Fourth, video, where some locations in the video Figure 1 generally serve as auxiliary descriptions and are not particularly comprehensive.

[0037] In summary, in the prior art, in content information such as text, text and graphics, or video, a comprehensive and complete map display is generally not carried out. For the electronic map system, relevant content information is not provided either. Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a system for synchronously displaying a map in combination with content information, which can synchronously display the content information and its related map. After users use it for a long time in large quantities, they can, based on extensive content and extensive locations, realize the understanding of map information, improve the understanding of the world, and improve the user experience.

[0038] Figure 1 FIG. 24 is a schematic structural diagram of a system for synchronously displaying a map in combination with content information provided by an embodiment of the present application. The system includes: a content information module 11, a geographic information detection module 12, a map reading module 13, a display control module 14, and a display 15 that are connected in sequence.

[0039] Among them, the content information module 11 is used to provide the content information to be displayed; the content information includes at least one of pure text, text and graphics, video, and audio;

[0040] The above-mentioned content information such as pure text, pictures with text, videos, music, etc. can be directly from the Internet or local content information stored in the system, that is, the above content information can be local content information, network content, content provided by the creator, or content provided by the content creator of the system platform, etc.; for example, the above content information includes an article written by an author, a picture created by a painter, a film and television drama shot by a director, a music work created by a singer, and so on.

[0041] The geographic information detection module 12 is used to determine the geographic information to be displayed from the content information; the geographic information to be displayed includes: the geographic information directly involved in the content information and the associated geographic information not directly involved in the content information.

[0042] The above-mentioned geographic information can be the geographic information such as place names and location-related content directly detected from pure text, pictures with text, videos, and music audio, or the geographic information indirectly related to pure text, pictures with text, videos, or music audio; for example, the birthplace, living place, place where the article or work takes place, creation place, observation place, etc. of the author of a work; another example is the birthplace, living place, and shooting place of the photographer of a picture; another example is a piece of music, its creator's birthplace, living place, or the country where the music style is located, or the place where the music creation anecdote takes place, etc., all of which can be displayed as map geographic content. The above place names can include various geographic-related nouns such as rivers, lakes, seas, islands, deserts, grasslands, plains, plateaus, mountains, cities, countries, etc.

[0043] The map reading module 13 is used to obtain the map corresponding to the geographic information to be displayed.

[0044] The map types corresponding to the above maps include: historical maps, contemporary electronic maps, static map pictures, map schematic diagrams, or dynamic map videos; in order to adapt to the display on monitors of different sizes, the static map pictures and map schematic diagrams need to meet the resolution and size requirements. Various electronic maps can be read through relevant API interfaces.

[0045] The display control module 14 is used to control the monitor 15 to display the content information and the map.

[0046] The display modes of the above-mentioned display 15 include: single-screen display mode and multi-screen / folding-screen display mode; the single-screen display mode includes: when setting one display area on the same screen, the display area is used to display content information, or a map, or the result after converting the map and content information into the same format and then merging them; when setting two display areas on the same screen, the first display area is used to display content information; the second display area is used to display a map; or both display areas display part of the map; both the content information and the map can adopt a horizontal display method or a vertical display method; the above-mentioned display 15 includes: a mobile phone, a computer monitor, a tablet computer, a television, an advertising display screen or a device supporting multi-screen display, and the display screen types of the display include: single-screen type, multi-screen type or folding-screen type.

[0047] Further, when the display mode of the above-mentioned display is the single-screen display mode, the single screen is the screen configured on the display; the display synchronously controls two independent display areas on the single screen through a synchronization signal to respectively display content information and a map, as Figure 2 shown; or, convert the map and content information into the same format and then merge them, and display the merged result through one display area on the single screen, as Figure 3 shown, or display the content information or the map through one display area on the single screen.

[0048] For example, for the case of simultaneously displaying a video and a map, first convert the map display into a video, then merge it with the content video into one video, and play it as one video on the screen; the same principle applies to other types of content. For another example, for the case of simultaneously displaying text and a map, the display of the text can be converted into a video, and the display of the map can be converted into a video, and finally the two videos are synthesized into one video and then played.

[0049] Further, when the display mode of the above-mentioned display is the dual-screen display mode, the dual screens include two display screens on one display, or include one display screen respectively configured on two displays; the display synchronously controls the two display screens to respectively display content information and a map through a synchronization signal; the synchronization control process is completed by one display (as Figure 4 shown), or completed by two displays in a master-slave mode (as Figure 5 shown).

[0050] In this embodiment, from the perspective of the display mode, it includes two parts: displaying the pure text, graphics, videos, audios, etc. to be displayed on the display, and the map of the places related to these contents. See Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, different operations can be performed through mode settings or as needed to control the display method, for the display of content information + map, single content information, and single map. Moreover, in this embodiment, not only the geographical information directly involved in the text can be displayed, but also the geographical information related thereto, such as the birthplace, living place, place where anecdotes occurred, national geography of music style types, etc. of the author; even geographical information not related thereto can be displayed, such as a certain piece of music paired with a certain geographical information; or a certain picture paired with a geographical information that has little relevance.

[0051] For example, when the above system is used to implement mobile phone usage, the content or map can be cast to different devices. For example, when viewing content on the mobile phone and viewing the map on the mobile phone at the same time, and the map is always small, the map can be cast or extended to the TV or computer monitor.

[0052] The system for synchronously displaying a map in combination with content information provided by an embodiment of the present application is a system for synchronously manually and automatically displaying a map according to the place names involved in the text, pictures, audio, and video, and can synchronously display the content information being viewed by the user and the relevant map. After the user uses the system for a long time in large quantities, based on a wide range of content and a wide range of locations, the user can realize the understanding of map information, improve the understanding of the world, and improve the user experience.

[0053] Another system for synchronously displaying a map in combination with content information is further provided by an embodiment of the present application, and this system is implemented on the basis of the above embodiment; see Figure 8 As shown, in this system, in addition to including the content information module 11, geographical information detection module 12, map reading module 13, display control module 14, and display 15 in the above embodiment, it further includes: a year identification module 16.

[0054] The year identification module 16 is respectively connected to the content information module 11, the geographical information detection module 12, and the map reading module 13; the year identification module 16 is used to judge the year in which the geographical information involved in the content information is located according to at least one of the time corresponding to the content information, the author's year, and the time information involved; the geographical information detection module 12 is further used to perform a place name search in the geographical name library in the year in which the initially detected geographical information is located to determine the final geographical information; the map reading module 13 is further used to search for and read the corresponding map according to the year identified by the year identification module and the final geographical information determined by the geographical information detection module.

[0055] The age information output by the above-mentioned age recognition module 16 is sent to the geographic information detection module 12 on the one hand for place name recognition, and the place names of different ages are searched in the place name library; some place names existed in history but are no longer in use now and may not be directly found on the map. It is necessary to convert them into the corresponding current place names in the place name library for display; on the other hand, it is sent to the map reading module 13, and a historical map rather than a contemporary map can be selected for the display of this historical place name.

[0056] For example, the content information to be displayed is a war history article. In this article, the creator can manually set the geographic information to be displayed, such as multiple locations involved in a battle in a war movie; in this case, the age recognition module 16 can identify the occurrence time corresponding to this war history, further determine the age in which the war location was located at that time. When searching for the map, it can also determine the place name at that time corresponding to the war location in that age, and further the map corresponding to the place name of the corresponding age and location can be found from the historical geography map library.

[0057] The embodiment of the present application also provides another system for synchronously displaying a map in combination with content information, which is implemented on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment; see Figure 9 As shown, in this system, in addition to including the content information module 11, geographic information detection module 12, map reading module 13, display control module 14, display 15, and age recognition module 16 in the above-mentioned embodiment, it also includes: a map display algorithm module 17 and a geographic type recognition module 18. The map display algorithm module 17 is arranged between the map reading module 13 and the display control module 14, and the geographic type recognition module 18 is arranged between the geographic information detection module 12 and the map display algorithm module 17.

[0058] The geographic type recognition module 18 is used to determine the geographic information display type according to the relevance between place names in the geographic information detected by the geographic information detection module 12;

[0059] The above-mentioned geographic information display types include: single location display type, multi-location display type; the above-mentioned multi-location display type includes: map display under multiple associated place names; multiple associated place names include: multiple parallel place names describing a certain type of information or a certain event, or multiple place names with a specific time sequence involved in a certain event.

[0060] There are mainly the following types:

[0061] 1) A single piece of geographic information is displayed separately, corresponding to the above-mentioned single location display type;

[0062] 2) The associated display of several associated place names, corresponding to the above-mentioned multi-location display type, specifically:

[0063] A) When describing several juxtaposed place names involved in a certain type of information or an event, it can be considered that place names at the same level or of the same type can be displayed simultaneously;

[0064] B) For several place names involved in an event with a certain time sequence, these can be displayed simultaneously and specific identifiers are used to mark the occurrence sequence.

[0065] C) For several place names at different levels, this mainly controls the specific range and manner of map display.

[0066] The map display algorithm module 17 is used to determine the optimal display range and optimal display manner of the map according to the type of geographic information to be displayed and the map read by the map reading module 13;

[0067] The above-mentioned optimal display range is comprehensively determined by the range of the map to be displayed, the size of the display, and the display scale; the optimal display manners include: static display manner and dynamic display manner; the static display manner is used to display the optimal size range of the object; for example, it can display the location of the target place and the map within a certain range around it; the dynamic display manner is used to dynamically adjust the display scale of the electronic map to display the position of the object at multiple different levels from large to small.

[0068] In this embodiment, the geographic information to be displayed can be a surface element, a line element, or a point element. However, in order to present the best effect, it may be necessary to display a certain range around it. For example, for a location, when actually displayed, its optimal display range is the area including a certain range around this element.

[0069] Dynamic display can display the position of the object at different administrative levels such as global, continent, country, province, city, district, county, township, town, and street (this is just an example here, and it can also be other levels). Here, it is necessary to dynamically adjust the display scale of the electronic map and display it from large to small according to the scale, or it can also be set to display from small to large. In the display at different scales or levels, the display of the object's logo and name also needs to be dynamically adjusted. For example, when a surface element is displayed at the global level, it can be marked as a point element. It is also possible to perform a fuzzy schematic range display for some geographic areas with uncertain ranges. The map can also be displayed relative to a reference point, such as relative to the user's location or a certain set location.

[0070] The display control module 14 is further used to control the display effect of the map in the display 15 according to the optimal display range and optimal display manner of the map.

[0071] The embodiment of the present application also provides another system for synchronously displaying the map in combination with content information, which is implemented on the basis of the above embodiment.

[0072] See Figure 10 Figure 10 As shown, in this system, in addition to including the content information module 11, geographic information detection module 12, map reading module 13, display control module 14, display 15, era recognition module 16, map display algorithm module 17, and geographic type recognition module 18 in the above embodiments, it further includes: an information recommendation module 19 and a user geographic information statistics module 20; the information recommendation module 19 is respectively connected to the geographic information detection module 12, the map display algorithm module 17, and the user geographic information statistics module 20; the user geographic information statistics module 20 is also connected to the display 15.

[0073] The user geographic information statistics module 20 is used to count the historical geographic information involved in the historical content information viewed by the user and send the historical geographic information to the information recommendation module 19.

[0074] The information recommendation module 19 is used to determine whether to push the current content information to the user according to the geographic information of the current content information detected by the geographic information detection module 12 and the historical geographic information.

[0075] For example: The information recommendation module 19 determines whether the current content information still includes geographic information not viewed by the user according to the geographic information included in the current content information and the historical geographic information in the user geographic information statistics result. If so, it is determined that the current content information needs to be pushed to the user, and then further content and map display processing is performed to enter the next-level processing; otherwise, no push is performed, and the next content information is continuously judged, and so on. This recommendation method can enable users to more comprehensively view different places.

[0076] Further, see Figure 11 Figure 11 As shown, the above-mentioned geographic information detection module 12 specifically includes: a text place name detection module 121, a picture location detection module 122, a video content place name detection module 123, an audio content place name detection module 124, and a manual place name identification module 125.

[0077] The text place name detection module 121 is used to identify geographic nouns in the text of the content information, and determine the geographic information by comparing the identified geographic nouns with the nouns in the geographic place name library, or by performing a network query comparison, or by searching and comparing in the map; and / or, determine the geographic information according to the author information and creation information corresponding to the text content;

[0078] The above-mentioned author information includes: the birthplace, workplace, etc. of the author; the creation information includes: the place of text creation or the location of the scene or shooting place during the creation process, etc.

[0079] The picture location detection module 122 is used to detect geographical names based on the shooting location information, relevant description information, and text recognition information in the picture to obtain geographical information; and / or determine geographical information based on the author information and creation information corresponding to the picture;

[0080] The video content place name detection module 123 is used to detect geographical information from the video part in the video content through frame picture place name recognition, and for the audio part in the video content, further identify the geographical information in the text by converting the audio to text, and / or determine geographical information based on the author information and creation information corresponding to the video content;

[0081] The audio content place name detection module 124 further identifies the geographical information in the text by converting the audio to text, and / or determines geographical information based on the author information and creation information corresponding to the audio;

[0082] Generally, there are many types of audio, such as audiobooks. Similar to text-based content, geographical information can be determined directly by converting the audio to text and then comparing and identifying geographical names. However, it can also display the birthplace, workplace, text creation place, etc. of the text creator. If it is a conversation voice, it can display the location of one or both parties, or the locations involved in the voice. If it is a piece of music or a song, the geographical information on the map can be the place involved in the music itself, or a song representing a certain region, or the creation place, the author's birthplace, workplace, etc.

[0083] The manual place name marking module 125 is used to mark the place names not detected in the content information as geographical information to be displayed, and cancel the geographical information marking for the text that is misidentified as geographical information but is not a geographical information.

[0084] Furthermore, the above-mentioned geographical information detection module 12 further includes: an information preprocessing module 126; the information preprocessing module 126 is used to control the geographical information range according to the following multiple control factors before performing geographical information detection:

[0085] One is the geographical information to be displayed marked or set by the content creator;

[0086] Two is the geographical information to be displayed set by the system default;

[0087] Three is the geographical information to be displayed set by the platform editor or content reviewer;

[0088] Four is the geographical information that can be displayed set according to the content requirements.

[0089] The selection of the geographical information on the displayed map comes from the understanding of the content by the content creator and the platform reviewer and the understanding of the overall requirements of the platform.

[0090] In a preferred embodiment, the display control process of geographical information is as follows Figure 12 shown below:

[0091] Step 1: Determine whether to display the non-direct geographical information of the content information. If so, go to Step 2; otherwise, directly jump to Step 4;

[0092] Step 2: Set the non-direct geographical information, that is, the geographical information not directly involved in the content;

[0093] Step 3: Set the display method and mode of the non-direct geographical information;

[0094] Step 4: Determine whether to display the geographical information directly involved in the content; if so, go to Step 5; otherwise, jump to Step 10;

[0095] Step 5: Determine whether to automatically detect the geographical information existing in the content. If so, go to Step 6; otherwise, jump to Step 8;

[0099] Step 9: Manually set and correct the geographical information in the content;

[0100] Step 10: Based on the content information and the preprocessed geographical information, perform content information + map display.

[0101] The systems for synchronously displaying maps in combination with content information provided by multiple embodiments of the present application have all solved the problem of no map display when a pure text involves a location, and also solved the problem that a location involved in a text and image may not necessarily be displayed on a map, and also solved the problem of displaying non-directly involved geographical information. Of course, the user can also turn off some locations that do not need to be displayed or perform map display-related settings through settings.

[0102] However, the most important problem to be solved by this system is that since there are so many places involved in geographical maps, except for a few geographical majors or foreign trade-related majors, or a few enthusiasts, it is very difficult for ordinary people to have the patience and interest to really understand all the places and countries in the world. And this system combines currently popular and easy-to-accept texts, text and images, videos, music and other content to display relevant geographical map information. Through long-term use by users, it can gradually and imperceptibly enable users to have a relatively high degree of understanding of the geographical maps of the whole world.

[0103] The system provided by the embodiments of the present application can assist users in seeing the corresponding map whenever they view any pictures or texts involving place names, without the need to look up the map by themselves. With long-term use, if the content involves more locations, users will have a clearer understanding of the whole world.

[0104] The embodiments of the present application also provide a computer-readable storage medium. The computer-readable storage medium stores computer-executable instructions. When the computer-executable instructions are called and executed by a processor, the computer-executable instructions prompt the processor to implement the functions of each module in the above system.
