Abstract

A method functioning on the basis of a matrix (2) of predetermined responses that is coupled to a corresponding matrix (3) of multiple-choice questions, and of a database (4) of information associated with said responses and with predetermined combinations of these responses.

In a computer (8) in which said responses and the information (9) from said database are associated, the inputting of responses (5) to the multiple-choice questions on a data terminal (7) by an individual user (6) enables an extraction program (10) to extract from said information database information (11) relating to the responses entered and combinations thereof, and then enables an assembly program (12) to group together the extracted information in order to convert it into the desired information support (1).

Extraction guided by the responses to the questionnaire provides a personalized work.

Claims

1. A method for producing a personalized information support in which:

1) a thematic matrix of groups of predetermined responses (2) is produced;

2) a corresponding thematic matrix (3) of multiple-choice questions is associated with this matrix of groups of responses;

3) a database of information (4) associated with said responses and with the predetermined combinations of these responses is produced;

4) the responses (5) of a person (6) are entered on a data-input terminal (7) associated with said information database;

5) in a computer (8), said responses and the database information (9) are combined; and

6) from the database information, an extraction program (10) extracts information relating to the responses entered and to combinations (11) thereof; and

7) in the computer, an assembly program (12) groups together the extracted information in order to convert into said information support (1).

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, in which the association of question (2) and response (3) matrices takes the form of a multiple-choice questionnaire.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, in which the multiple-choice questionnaire is filled out by checking the box that corresponds to the chosen response.

4. The method as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, in which the responses (5) entered on a data terminal originate from input on a paper form.

5. The method as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 3, in which the responses (5) entered on a data terminal originate from input on a computer.

6. The method as claimed in one of claims 1, 2, 3, or 5, in which the responses (5) entered on a data terminal originate from input on an internet site.

7. The method as claimed in one of claims 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, in which the information support produced is a paper book.

8. The method as claimed in one of claims 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, in which the support produced is an electronic book.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, in which the information support produced is a downloadable computer file.

10. The method as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, in which the assembly program (12) uses occupation iconography adapted to the meaning of the text and to the dimensions of the spaces to be covered.
