摘要:
A method and system for providing video on demand from a database of textual information. In accordance with the inventive method, video data is stored on an addressable medium. The addresses for video segments are stored for retrieval when corresponding textual information is accessed in the database. In a particular embodiment, the addresses are stored in a lookup table which is read whenever a section of textual data is accessed. When the table indicates that video is available, corresponding to the text being viewed, an icon is displayed on the screen. When the video option is exercised, the address for the video segment is retrieved from the table and used to access the video storage medium. Video from the medium is then displayed interactively. The invention thus provides a system and technique for providing access to live action video at appropriate locations in a computer database.
摘要:
A process for establishing a relationship between the Logistics Support Analysis Record (LSAR) database and a released engineering drawing database. The process includes establishing several database pointer tables for relating the drawings to appropriate end items, task and subtasks. As a result of the process, Logistics Support Analysis functions can be performed in less time, for less cost and with fewer errors. The query aspects of the LSAR database can be used to relate specific hardware to its maintenance procedures, special tool requirements and special handling equipment. Source engineering documents are related to publications art, and engineering drawings are related to task/subtask. The process facilitates automated change notification procedures.
