摘要： A book or other digital content is represented as a set of objects in a relational database schema format called IBF (Interactive Book Format) and the controlling system software. This design provides for viewing books in a manner that coordinates additional information and provides interaction with the original book, while not disturbing the original publication and copyrighted material and even protecting that copyrighted material from piracy by supporting industry standard digital rights management security features. The inventive technique includes the use of conversion engines which will aid publishers in converting existing books into IBF format. The inventive technology further provides the ability to read any book in IBF format on a computer using refreshable Braille display, allowing the reader the advantage of reading all books in this format without having to purchase expensive, specially made Braille books.

摘要翻译： 书或其他数字内容被表示为称为IBF（交互式书本格式）和控制系统软件的关系数据库模式格式的一组对象。 该设计提供了以协调附加信息和提供与原始图书交互的方式查看图书，同时不受原始出版物和版权材料干扰，甚至通过支持行业标准数字版权管理安全功能来保护受版权保护的材料免遭盗版。 本发明技术包括使用转换引擎，这将有助于出版商将现有书籍转换为IBF格式。 本发明的技术进一步提供了使用可刷新盲文显示器在计算机上读取IBF格式的任何书籍的能力，允许读者以这种格式阅读所有书籍的优点，而无需购买昂贵的特制盲文书籍。
