Part 1 - Screen Navigation Overview

The InscriptiFact Search and Retrieval system has three components that must be "mocked up" in the prototype:

    • First, the database of images are narrowed to those of a single "Text". (See Definition of "Text" in InscriptiFact Prototype Requirements, Section I - Definitions)
    • Second, images of the selected "Text" are narrowed to a desired set of images.
    • Third, the selected images are viewed and compared.

Chart One below illustrates the possible prototype navigation sequences resulting in the selection of a single Text. Note that if the user types in a Text Number from the Main Search Screen, a Text is selected at the very beginning, so there is no further navigation in the selection of a single Text.

Once one Text is selected, there are three possible navigational sequences for selecting a desired set of images. The specific sequence in any given prototype scenario depends entirely on which of three Text types is selected.

Chart Two below illustrates the three possible navigation sequences following the selection of a single Text.

Chart Three illustrates the result of both sequences, selecting a single Text and selecting a set of desired images, for all the possible navigation sequences.

Chart One illustrates the three possible prototype navigation sequences resulting in the selection of a single text.

        • (Screen 2 - Screen 3A - Screen 4A)
        • (Screen 2 - Screen 3B )
        • (Screen 2)

The navigation sequence for narrowing the images of a selected Text down to a desired set depends entirely on which of three Text types was selected.

The navigational sequences are as follows:

  • Search/Display (S/D) Type 1 - Spatial Search

--Following the user selection of a single Text, Screen 4C/5, Text Spatial Search Screen is displayed. Screen 4C/5 displays a reference image or map (image map) of the desired text.

--Following user definition of a spatial area on the selected text reference image or map on Screen 4C/5, Text Spatial Search, the system will return a results listing of thumbnails on Screen 6, Image Results.

  • S/D Type 2 -- List of Text Divisions

--Following the user selection of a single Text, the system will display a list of text divisions on Screen 4B, List of Text Divisions.

--When the user selects a text division the system will display thumbnails of images assigned to the selected division on Screen 6, Image Results Screen.

  • S/D Type 4 -- Direct Image Thumbnail Display

--Following the user selection of a single Text, the system will return a results listing of thumbnails on Screen 6, Images Results Screen. [NOTE: SCREEN 4B, LIST OF TEXT DIVISIONS AND SCREEN 4C/5, TEXT SPATIAL SEARCH ARE OMITTED WHEN THE TEXT SELECTED IS TYPE 4.]

Note: There are no prototype texts with Search/Display Type 3 - List of Text Divisions Followed a Spatial Search.

Table 1 below lists the prototype texts, Search/Display Types and the navigation sequence for each.

(NOTE: Texts omitted from this simplified version of the prototype are grayed out.)

 

Chart Two illustrates the three possible navigation sequences that follow selection of a single text. The three possible sequences are

color and pattern coded.

 

Chart Three below illustrates all the possible navigational sequences. The color and pattern coding remains as in Chart Two above.
