Description

DATA STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR ITS CONSTRUCTION

TECHNICAL FIELD

The object of the innovation is a data structure, which is used in data communication and based on mnemonics and a method for the construction of a data structure used in communication.

BACKGROUND

The management of continuously growing knowledge is problematic. In work places and enterprises there is for instance great amounts of knowledge, which utilization call for special tool-kits.

The challenge of data management is also increased by different information storage forms. Data can be found e.g. as text documents, tables, image and audio databases and as video records. In addition, e.g. the use of Internet and different databases increase the data mass exponentially.

There is so much accumulated data that an individual person can not rnaster it anymore, not even with the aid of a computer. In order to utilize data, users often want to concentrate recorded data.

In order to manage huge amounts of information, different subjects should be classified into as different groups as possible. Clustering is a complicated grouping method, because different parts have to differ sufficiently from each other and similar parts have to find their way to the same set. Simple factors to distinguish valuable information is searched from the material.

The influential factors in the interaction between man and man and between man and machine are based on things associated with human capability to acquire, percept and remember. Perception depends on both senses and the neural system. These things should be taken into account in collaboration and interaction between man and man and between man and machine.

In these connections, mnemonics (mnemonic units) are an excellent tool and mediator for checking the correctness of a message. The use of mnemonics excludes the stress on the human psyche and on the satisfaction effect. An information model can be factorised (divided in subsets) with the aid of mnemonics, whereby the defined and important facts can be described in a focused way.

A mnemonic as a concept is an aid for remembering, which in its simplest form may be a visual unit or even a verbal unit, as a poetic string of words or a word, which is used in order to facilitate remembering. Especially, mnemonics have been used to remember various lists. Mnemonics are not necessarily, however, based only on repeated facts but also on associations. A mnemonic is in practice a collection or representation of short and concise knowledge.

Mnemonics are used for instance in educational purposes to facilitate remembering and often they are used in connection with modification of information to be learnt by linking them to information already learnt.

The memorization of facts and data by means of mnemonics support higher level thinking. Mnemonics are especially useful in storing and using data in order to facilitate long term memory. Mnemonics act as references in digging of information e.g. by visualizing information otherwise difficult to remember.

Data is often collected and managed for instance for different projects as to make presentations in project management, in teaching etc. It is often very time-consuming to do these presentations consumes because data has to be handled for each project differently to make a proper presentation.

Many methods to solve the time problem in making presentations have been presented.

In US-patent 6,580,438, there is presented a method, in which a presentation is made from separate elements and the elements are modified to create a uniform presentation. The style of the element to be presented is recognized/defined by the aid of an identifier and after that the element is manipulated in accordance with the desired style In this method, mnemonics are used to express the style of different elements, which mnemonics point out different presentation properties as e.g. background colour, text type, text size, sound effect etc.

In US-patent 6,484,189, there is made a multimedia presentation by means of a graphic user interface by choosing suitable icons that present acts from main- and submenus of the icons. The actions of the main- and submenus are linked together and form a data structure to be stored in a memory. There are attributes connected to the icons, which are formed from the information describing acts. With the aid of a visual language, one can structurally present an event sequence of a multi-media presentation so that the user may see the hierarchy of the presentation. An object of this solution is to create an interactive presentation, in which the user him/herself can manipulate the presentation.

In US-patent 6,191 , 783, there is formed a multimedia message with the aid of an icon- based graphic user-interface based on content, media type and style template.

In European patent application EP1 615 145, there is presented a system, wherein it is possible to bring data from external data sources into an electronic workspace in a form of a visual hierarchy.

US-patent 5,592,602 presents an icon based system for composing a multi media presentation, which has a tool for managing movement, pictures and sound effects by icons representing those items.

US-patent 5,892,507 presents the making of a multimedia presentation by means of a graphic user interface, in which there is one or more multi media events and in which the start and the end of the presentation can be seen when proceeding along a one-way route and an icon, which represents the source of the multimedia material. The icons may at the same time belong to many presentations and they are linked to the route mentioned.

The object of this innovation is to construct a data structure, by which data may be managed efficiently both for remembering as well as for making presentations to be used for different purposes and both for learning and in projects, wherein the content and the progress of the project are taken into consideration.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The object of the invention is a data structure used in computer communication for projects in the form a system containing mnemonics. In the data structure, the data is stored in the computer in the form of content mnemonics and arrangement mnemonics, both containing data. The mnemonics are files stored in relation to each other on the basis of their content. The sequential and/or parallel mnemonics of the mnemonic system are functionally connected toe ach other in such a way that the arrangement mnemonics consist of individual search- or arrangement data pieces, which are associated to the content mnemonics and on the basis of which the places of the mnemonics are defined in the data structure. The data of the mnemonics consists of the theme of the project and of ordinary project data.

The main features of the innovation are presented in the main claim and its preferred embodiments in the subclaims.

Thus, the mnemonics of the system are programmed into a functional connection to each other according to rules and formulas thereby forming e.g. a mnemonic matrix with sequential and/or parallel mnemonics, the content themes of which are linked.

The data is arranged in the mnemonics in a systematic way thereby working functionally, when the data contained in the content mnemonics consist of the subject of the project as well as of ordinary project data and it can be searched by means of an arrangement mnemonic. Furthermore, the project data consist of partial entireties, which form content entireties. A part of the project data always consists of unchangeable data, and in addition, a part can be changeable data

The content mnemonics can either be sc. real or ordinary content mnemonics and in addition, the mnemonic system can have associate mnemonics. The associate mnemonics are connected to the ordinary content mnemonics and they are also connected to the arrangement mnemonics. The associate mnemonics either have deeper information compared to the ordinary content mnemonics, whereby they can be called "internal" associate mnemonics or they can have information that in other ways is connected to the ordinary content mnemonics, whereby they can be called "external" associate mnemonics.

An arrangement mnemonic consists of an individual piece of information for search or arrangement, e.g. a word, which is connected to one or more associate mnemonics and on the basis of which the places of the content and associate mnemonics are defined in the data structure. The data structure has separate memory places for different mnemonics and additionally, the mnemonics contain information about its memory place in the data structure. In addition, the arrangement mnemonics may be presented in the form of a table of contents according to their content or title. The table of contents of the data structure follows the memory places of the mnemonics.

The project, in which the data structure is used, is a presentation, an education or a management tool of an enterprise, or it is concerned with leadership or it is a game.

In the method provided by the invention, a data structure containing mnemonics to be used in data communication is constructed for projects. The files of the data structure are stored in the form of content mnemonics and arrangement mnemonics, which contain data and are functionally related to each other on the basis of the data they contain. In the method, information is searched from a network in the form of different files. The files having contents suitable for the data structure are selected on the basis of the subject of the actual project. The files are converted into mnemonics according to the content of the files by modifying the data in the files into mnemonics in a systematic way in order to present the data of the mnemonics in such a way that the content mnemonics contain the subject of the project, the unchangeable and changeable data of the project. The mnemonics of the system are connected to each other sequentially and/or in parallel in such a way that each arrangement mnemonic consists of an individual piece of information for search or arrangement, which is associated to an associate mnemonic, and on the basis of which the places of the mnemonics are defined in the data structure. In the method, information is searched e.g. from Internet, from a network tunnelled to a computer (Virtual Private Network (VPN)) or from some computer in a network (Peer-to- Peer (P2P) network) connected to it.

Ready platforms can be used for making the mnemonics. The platforms are networks optimized for the theme. Data can be filled into the platforms in an organized way. They can e.g have fields, into which whole files or sentences or words are linked or filled in.

The mnemonics used in the invention are files to be stored in a computer being data contents. The data contents are quanta containing data, which consist of fixed parts, dynamic parts and of one focus. The one or several fixed parts of a mnemonic consists of the unchangeable data of each project, the one or several dynamic parts of a mnemonic consists of the changeable data of each project and the focus of the mnemonic consists of the subject or goal and/ or theme of the project, i.e. it is the new thing to be presented. Also some of the fixed or dynamic parts may be new.

The arrangement mnemonic, which also may be called "meta-mnemonic", may also be an "abstract" associated to the ordinary mnemonics (content mnemonics and associate mnemonics), into which the data is marked separately or which it is automatically filled in by a computer program. The data of an arrangement mnemonic may be in the form of an alphabet, a number, date, geometric form, word, or e.g. a diagram. The ordinary mnemonics (content or associate mnemonics) can be arranged in an alphabetical, date, number or other order by means of an arrangement mnemonic or mnemonics (in other words the associate or content mnemonics) may be searched by means of words, numbers, or qualities contained in them or they can be searched by means of figures, diagrams or geometric forms contained in them.

An associate mnemonic is a mnemonic, which structurally corresponds to a content mnemonic. An associate mnemonic deepens the information of a content mnemonic, goes in it (internal associate mnemonic) or broadens its information, or goes outside of its mnemonic (external associate mnemonic).

Also the arrangement mnemonic of an associate mnemonic has arrangement data associated to the associate mnemonic and as is the case with the data of an arrangement mnemonic generally, the data is usually an alphabet, a number, a date, a geometric form , a word, an image or a formula.

The presentation form of a mnemonic can be a verbal speech, text, diagram, a video-clip or some combination of two or more of these forms storable in an intended format in a computer e.g. as a word, pdf, excel or such file.

When mnemonics are presented in a sequence or in parallel, a mnemonic language is formed. In each such mnemonic there are one or more parts, which connects the content idea of mnemonic to the next one. Depending on subject and user, the mnemonics are divided into smaller or bigger sequential or parallel parts, whereby mnemonic matrixes are formed, which are presented in a way depending on user needs. The mnemonic platforms or templates are programmed to be filled by computers by following mnemonic algorithms and to be composed to form matrix structures. The mnemonic matrix is constructed and performed by a menomnic algorithm telling how the content theme parts of the mnemonic is intended to be Inked to eachother by means of desired connections, rules and formulas. The mnemonics may be optimised according to the intended subject, whereby the mnemonics guarantee a format-like, exact, quick and effective perception and understanding of the thing presented. The computer program of the invention thus modify the data of the rules of the handled subject, too simple or too complicated ones, into an optimized form for the human memory. The invention is thus a data structure made or to be made by mnemonics and artificial intelligence, which data structure may be presented and constructed with computers or other means.

Mnemonic matrices comprising more extensive subject entireties can be constructed from individual mnemonics and correspondingly an individual mnemonic may lead to data in a mnemonic matrix comprising more extensive contents.. In both cases, mnemonic matrices of higher level can be made on the basis of artificial intelligence.

In computer technology, the mnemonics can be made different by using any computer program or media and then be converted into the same format. Before storing, the metadata, i.e. arrangement data is added to the mnemonics. The metadata is also stored in the form of a meta-mnemonic, which acts as an arrangement mnemonic. The metamnemonics and the other mnemonics are stored in their own memory places. Information can be search from the data structure of the invention or correspondingly information can be arranged into the data structure of the invention by using meta-data as search words or arrangement words. The arrangement mnemonics containing meta-data are organised in arrangement or search tables when searched. The search results can be pre-opened or pre-viewed, after which the mnemonics can be fetched (by clicking) for desired use. In the arrangement and search phases, the arrangement and search mnemonics work in the same way as they did when the mnemonic matrix was made and when the individual mnemonics were searched

The invention is extremely useful for presenting extensive information amounts in a logical way, e.g. for teaching purposes and when making teaching material.

The invention can thus be applied in e,g, marketing, sales and education and in strategic communication of enterprises and as well in e.g. managing the products of an enterprise in different stages from idea to maintenance. In the last mentioned use, the status of the mnemonics, mnemonic matrices and their methods just changes and is complemented along with which the development and realization of the product, from business idea and intention, via the product formation, to the service for the end customer.

The invention suits well for the communication of different forms of various organisations, such as for administrative organizations, operating organisations, and for e.g. service organisations.

Mnemonics are renewed communication forms of old civilisations, which have been taken for re-use in different phases of the evolution.. In the computer age, mnemonics have appeared only in single cases on the programming side. In computer technology, the steering, arrangement and processing forms of categories have appeared only as single items. The systematic and almost complete category systematics presented in the inventiontion is a uniquely precise, fast, efficient and economic system, by which entireties can be managed..

Thus, the invention provides a new tool suitable for work of high level. In the following, the innovation is described by means of some embodiment examples with reference to figures. It is not intended to limit the invention to these examples, because the innovation is useful in any project needing systematic use of information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Figure 1 presents a schematic figure of an example of the data structure of the invention to be presented graphically as applied to managing course material. In this special example, it is supposed that the course material contains a lecture series about laser technology.

In the data structure of figure 1 , information about laser technology is stored in different mnemonics and these mnemonics are connected to each other and form a data structure, which is in the form of a mnemonic matrix of figure 1. Figure 1 thus presents the interdependencies of the mnemonics . The mnemonics of the matrix of figure 1 are connected to each other according to certain rules so that the mnemonics matrix has both sequential and parallel mnemonics, the content theme of which is connected to each other. The structure of the matrix is optimised on the basis of the content theme of the mnemonics and on the idea of the presentation so that there are sequential mnemonics on several levels.

In the matrix of figure 1 , the focus of the presentation, i.e. its subject or theme, is laser technology and the purpose of the presentation is teaching laser technology in a systematic way. Thus, in this example, the focus and the purpose are closely linked to eachother.

One 1 of the levels of figure 1 consists of mnemonics , which present the different content entireties of laser technology in this course. This level 1 can e.g. be called the everyday level or - the arrangement level, because it tells, in a simple way, how the information has been structured into the data structure and into the mnemonics of the data structure.

When information is searched from the data structure of the invention (or when information is arranged in it), metadata is used as search words or arrangement words, respectively. The arrangement mnemonics that contain metadata are hereby organised, in the search/arrangement phase, in the form of arrangement and search tables. The search results can be pre-opened and pre-viewed, after which the mnemonics can be taken up (by clicking) for intended use.

The content entireties of the different levels may be collected in this example into the form of a content list in the above way by arranging the arrangement mnemonics into a content table. In this example, the arrangement mnemonics define, in the form of a content list, what the different levels consist of, i.e. different content entireties of the laser technology course.

Thus, the mnemonic system of the invention has arrangement mnemonics, which consist of individual search- or arrangement data, on the basis of which the places of the mnemonics are defined in the data structure. The data of the content mnemonics consist of the theme of the project and of ordinary project data . There is ordinary project data both in the ordinary content mnemonics and in the associate mnemonics. The ordinary project data is not necessarily amended in this example after that the presentation is made, whereby only the ordinary project data of the mnemonics is unchangeable.

Each everyday level (arrangement level) has ordinary content mnemonics (1a-1g) and also arrangement mnemonic, the arrangement data of which consists of the scope of the subject of the content entirety, such as laser technology basics (mnemonic 1a), light sources used in laser technology (mnemonic 1b), methods of modification of the laser beam (mnemonic 1c), laser beam transport techniques (mnemonic 1 d), laser marking/engraving (mnemonic 1e), laser cutting techniques (mnemonic 1f) and laser joint techniques (mnemonic 1g). Thus, these arrangement mnemonics consist here also of these individual search and arrangement words telling about the scope of the subject and on the basis of which the different contents can be differentiated from each other and be seen in an illustrating way. Search and arrangement word is technically here the same thing, but it is practical to speak about "arrangement word" in a situation wherein the data structure is constructed and about "search word" in a situation , wherein information s searched from a data structure already constructed .

In this example, the arrangement word of the arrangement mnemonics may be the same as the focus of the real content mnemonic, i.e. the subject of the project.

Mnemonics 1a - 1g are sequential mnemonics and the teaching project is proceeding logically e.g. from mnemonic 1a to mnemonic 1g, (although the mnemonics 1a - 1g of the material naturally can be used in disorder, too).

Parallel mnemonics of different levels are connected to each mnemonic 1a - 1g .The basics of laser technology are studied on the basis of this data structure (mnemonic matrix) from different views, such as from a theoretical point of view, professional point of view, at "micro level" and at "nano level". Thus, in the data structure, there is basic knowledge of laser technology in mnemonics at a theory level 2, a professional level 3, at the micro level 4 and at the nano level 5. The levels can naturally be named as desired but it is practical and in the spirit of this invention that they are named in a way that they give an idea about which type of information each level has. It is not always so clear whether the associate mnemonics should be classified as so called internal associate mnemonics or as external ones, and that is irrelevant in this example. The parallel associate mnemonics 2a, 3a, 4a and 5a connected to the ordinary content mnemonic 1 are mostly internal associate mnemonics, because they deepen the information of the ordinary content mnemonic 1a.

The theory level mnemonics belonging to the laser technology basics may, in turn, be mutually sequential logically proceeding mnemonics 2a - 2a". These mnemonics 2a - 2a" are parallel with respect to the every day level mnemonic 1a. Mnemonics 2a - 2a" have e.g. theory level content information about laser technology; they have e.g. basic information abou, what a laser-beam is physically and the information can be further divided according to various physical aspects, e.g. an optic aspect of the laser beam, an electromagnetic aspect etc.

Other theory level mnemonics 2b-2g are connected in a corresponding way to mnemonics 1b - 1g with respect to light sources used in laser technology (mnemonics 1 b), methods of modification of the laser beam (mnemonics 1c), laser beam transport techniques (mnemonic 1d), laser marking/engraving (mnemonics 1e), laser cutting techniques (mnemonic 1f) and laser joining techniques (mnemonic 1g).

Correspondingly, the mnemonics of the professional level 3 can be mutually sequential and logically proceeding mnemonics 3a - 3g. In these mnemonics, which are parallel with respect to the everyday level mnemonics 1a - 1g, laser technology can e.g be handled form a professional point of view. Thus, the mnemonics 3a - 3a" etc. connected to the everyday level mnemonic 1a could e.g. have basic knowledge concerning general use of laser technology. Correspondingly, mnemonics 3a - 3g are connected to various content entireties 1a - 1g.

The micro level mnemonics include the mutually sequential and logically proceeding mnemonics 4a - 4g. The mnemonics of this level, which are parallel in a desired way with mnemonics 1 , 2 and 3, could have information about how different materials are treated and about the effects of laser in different uses.

The mnemonics of nano level 5 can be mutually sequential and logically proceeding mnemonics 5a - 5g and they can be parallel to mnemonics 1 - 4 in a desired way. These mnemonics 5a - 5g can have information about the effect of laser on different materials at molecular level.

The presentation form of the data of the mnemonics could be presented verbal speech, text, a scheme, a picture a video-clip or a combination of one or many of these.

It is clear that material could be collected as wished to form a logical entirety and the invention is not in any way limited to this scope of subject or to this example, instead the purpose is to show how the invention could be applied for arranging and presentation of data in an illustrative way by using the mnemonics and arrangement mnemonics of the invention.

Figure 2 presents a schematic figure of an example of a graphically presented data structure as applied to project working generally. This figure is intended to illustrate the invention. In this specific example, it is supposed that it is question about a big project, which also consists of subprojects, the progress of which is controlled in a centralized manner by means of the invention.

In the data structure of the example of figure 2, the source data of the project is stored into an ordinary content mnemonic, which is marked with reference number 1. An arrangement mnemonic 2 is associated with the ordinary content mnemonic 1 and it defines the memory place of the ordinary content mnemonic (and its own place as well) in the data structure of the invention. Some piece of information, which associates it to the ordinary content mnemonic 1 , is stored in the arrangement mnemonic 1..

It might be desirable to associate more such detailed information about something to the source data of the project, which, however, is not wanted to be stored into an ordinary content mnemonic, so that its content would not become unmanageable large. Such deeper information is stored in figure 2 in the associate mnemonic 3. Such an associate mnemonic 3 may be called an internal accession mnemonic. The arrangement or search data, by which the accession mnemonics is found, is stored into the arrangement mnemonic 4. Furthermore, there might be information about something that might not belong to the ordinary project data, but is still desirable to be added to the source data of the project. Such data is not wanted to be stored in connection with the ordinary project data, but is connected to it in such a way that the data is wanted to be available for those working in the project. Such information that is connected to the project is stored in figure 2 into the associate mnemonic 5. Such an associate mnemonic 5 can be called "an external associate mnemonic". The arrangement or search data of the associate mnemonic, by which the associate mnemonic is found, is stored into the arrangement mnemonic 6.

Thus, the subprojects of the project are managed in a centralized manner from the ordinary content mnemonic 1. The project proceeds along different chains 7, 9 and 11. The chains can have different geometrical forms depending on along which kind of mnemonics the project proceeds. Each chain is here marked by one single mnemonic 7, 9 and 11 , but they are intended here to illustrate complete mnemonic systems. They may e.g. be direct chains proceeding vertically or they may be matrices according to figure 1 or they can for instance have the form of a lattice. In figure 2, each content mnemonic 7, 9 and 11 representing a chain has a corresponding arrangement mnemonic 8, 20 and 12 that is associated thereto.

Thus, the project proceeds via various mnemonics, the data of which is amended as the project proceeds and these mnemonics are interlinked and form a data structure, which has the form of a mnemonic matrix according to figure 2. Figure 2 thus presents the interdependencies of the mnemonics. The content mnemonics of the mnemonic system may be connected to various associate mnemonics.

Figure 3 presents a schematic view over an example of the graphically presented data structure of the invention as applied to project work in an industry project, in which a product is manufactured with laser-cut technology. Figure 2 shows how the invention is applied in an industry project.

In the example of figure 3 it is supposed, that the project proceeds from planning through preparation, work out, and inspection to a form deliverable and delivered to the customer. The project is planned, controlled and managed by means of the data structure of the invention and by arranging data into mnemonics. The model, according to which the project data about planning and the proceeding of the project etc. are stored and arranged into the mnemonics according to content, is optimised expressly to serve this example project.

Likewise to figure 1 , figure 3 has mnemonics on different levels, and also in this example the project proceeds both by following the sequential mnemonics of each level and from one level to the next one in the direction of parallel mnemonics, i.e. it proceeds both horizontally and vertically as figure 1 , but here the downwards proceeding vertical direction is the "main direction".

Also this mnemonic system of the invention has arrangement mnemonics, which consist of individual search or arrangement data, on the basis of which the places of the mnemonics are defined in the data structure. The data of the content mnemonics consist of the subject of the project and of ordinary project data. Ordinary project data can be found in this example in the content mnemonics of different levels and in the associate mnemonics. In this example, it is not proper to classify different content mnemonics into ordinary content mnemonics and associate mnemonics even if the mnemonics of this system may be named in that way as well. Instead ordinary project data is modified in this example along with the proceeding of the project, so that the ordinary project data of the mnemonics consist of both unchangeable and changeable information

The start phase of the project is the planning level 1. The content entirety of the planning level 1 may be presented in the form of a content list by presenting the titles of mnemonics 1.1 , 1.2, 1.3 as a table (by using the titles in question as arrangement words or search words for studying the data structure).

An arrangement mnemonic is associated to each content mnemonic (1.1 - 1.3) belonging to the planning level 1 and which can be seen in figure 2, the arrangement data of which arrangement mnemonic consists of the scope of subject of the content entirety, such as the definition of the cutting object (mnemonic 1.1), the definition of raw material (mnemonic 1.2) and the definition of working method (mnemonic 1.3). The planning phase proceeds horizontally from mnemonic 1.1 to mnemonic 1.3. Thus, an arrangement mnemonic of planning level 1 may consist of a table of the following form (of its left hand column) and the content mnemonics can in this example be in accordance with the column on the right hand side of the table. Also the content mnemonics contain the arrangement word of an arrangement mnemonic as a focus.

On the right hand side of the table, there are content mnemonics connected to the arrangement mnemonic. The content of the content mnemonics is just indicated but not presented in greater detail (they can contain e.g. text, images (e.g. a picture of a logo) etc. The content mnemonics have not been presented in greater detail in a form that they could be in reality, since the intention is to show how the invention itself can work in connection with a laser project, and not to present the content of the laser project itself. The principles for constructing content mnemonics have then been presented more, in detail in the text of figure 4..

The next phase after the planning phase is the preparation phase 2, which is illustrated in figure 2 by preparation level mnemonics. Also the content entirety of preparation phase 2 can be presented in the form of a content list by arranging the arrangement mnemonics 2.1 , 2.2 and 2.3 in table form.

Thus, the arrangement mnemonics of preparation level 2 may consists of the following table (of its left side column) and the content mnemonics can in this example be in accordance with the column on the right hand side of the table, although there is only an indication of what the content is, and there is not presented in detail, how the content mnemonics look like (they can contain e.g. text, images (e.g. a picture from a logo) etc. such as the planning phase mnemonics above:

In the preparation phase, the laser cutting machine is prepared for the product to be made in accordance with the content mnemonics. Data presenting the realization of the set-up of the item,, the date, the performer etc. can be added to the mnemonics, either in separate connected mnemonics or the data can be added to content mnemonics. As in the previous table, also the content mnemonics contain an arrangement word of an arrangement mnemonic as focus.

Mnemonic 2.1 is a parallel mnemonic to mnemonic 1.1 , and in time, the project proceeds from mnemonics 1.1 to mnemonic 2.1 when the actions of the mnemonics 1.1 - 1.3 have been executed.

The process regarding the total planning, the cutting subject and finally the cutting of the item can be followed by means of the data structure by following the horizontal line in accordance with the parallel mnemonics 1.1 , 2.1 , 3.1 and 4.1. Analogously, the process can, by means of the data structure, also be followed in respect of what is going on with the raw material itself by following the vertical line according to the parallel mnemonics 1.2, 2.2, 3.2 and 4.2. Moreover, the process can be followed by means of the data structure from a quality point of view by following the vertical line according top the parallel mnemonics 1.3, 2.3, 3.3 and 4.3.

The work phase itself is described in figure 2 on working level 3 after the preparation phase by means of the sequential mnemonics 3.1 - 3.3. The mnemonic 3.1 describes the positioning of the item, the mnemonic 3.2 describes the cutting process itself and mnemonic 3.3 describes post-processing.

Thus the arrangement mnemonic of work phase 3 may consist of the following table (its left side column) and the content mnemonics can in this example be in accordance with the column on the right hand side of the table, although there is only an indication of what the content is, and there is not presented in detail how the content mnemonics look like (they can contain e.g. text, images (e.g. a picture from a logo) etc. such as the mnemonics of the levels mentioned above:

As in the previous tables, also the content mnemonics contain an arrangement word of an arrangement mnemonic as a focus.

Mnemonic 3.1 is the following parallel mnemonic to mnemonics 2.1 after the phases 2.1 - 2.3 and mnemonic 3.2, which describes the cutting process itself, is a parallel mnemonic to mnemonic 2.2, which described the set-up of the raw material. After the cutting process 3.2, there is still the post-processing according the figure 2 to take place in the work phase.

The inspection phase is described in the control level 4 by means of mnemonics 4.1 - 4.3, wherein it is checked whether the project proceeded in accordance with the plan, the material properties are tested and it is checked whether the quality requirements have been met. Data from the inspection phase can be connected to the mnemonics, e.g. in the form of associated mnemonics. In figure 2, mnemonic 4.1 describes the conformity with the plan, mnemonic 4.2. describes material properties and mnemonic 4.3 describes the quality.

Thus the arrangement mnemonic of control phase 4 may consist of the following table (its left side column) and the content mnemonics can in this example be in accordance with the column on the right hand side of the table, although there is only an indication of what the content is, and there is not presented in detail how the content mnemonics look like (they can contain e.g. text, images (e.g. a picture from a logo) etc. such as the mnemonics of the levels mentioned above:

As in the previous tables, also the content mnemonics contain an arrangement word of an arrangement mnemonic as a focus.

By using the method and data structure program of the invention, the process can be carried out efficiently and different persons can by means of the invention follow the events simultaneously and thus the project is progressing and will be realized according to the plan and right things are made right and in a right and planned order.

It is understandable that compared to the reality, a simplified version is presented in figure 3 in order to facilitate the understanding and illustrative representation of the invention and that a desired number of additional mnemonics can be connected to the data structure in a logical way so, that all sub-areas of the project can be centrally mastered. The data in the mnemonics preferably contains in this invention a focus, dynamic parts and fixed parts. New mnemonics, mnemonic structures (such as mnemonic matrices) and super matrices of mnemonics can be made from the focus, the dynamic parts and the fixed parts of the mnemonic by iteration, e.g. at a microscopic level (at micro levels, in which e.g. detailed knowledge is described) and at a nanoscopic level (at nano levels, in which e.g. even deeper knowledge is described). Analogously, other processes are proceeding parallel with the basic process, which can be presented with mnemonics and matrices correspondingly to the basic process in question.

Figure 4 presents as a naturalistic figure of that part of the laser cutting process described in figure 3, which is described in the mnemonics of the work phase according to figure 2.

The work phase itself is described in figure 3 at work level 3 with the aid of sequential mnemonics 3.1 - 3.3. Mnemonic 3.1 describes the positioning of an item into the laser cutting device used in the laser cutting process, mnemonic 3.2 describes the performing of the cutting process itself and mnemonic 3.3 describes the post-processing of the item belonging to the laser cutting process.

It has earlier been stated that the content of a mnemonic is a data quantum, which consists of fixed and dynamic parts and of a focus. In project work, as in the laser cutting process of figure 3, the focus consists of the subject (i.e. theme or goal) of the project, the fixed part of the mnemonic consists of unchangeable data of each project and the dynamic part of the mnemonic consists of changing data of the project.

The mnemonics of the work phase of the mnemonic matrix in figure 3 are sequential mnemonics, the content themes of which are interconnected, and more in detail, the content theme is in this example the work phase of a laser cutting process, which is a main focus and to which the "sub focuses" of mnemonics 3.1 - 3.2 belong, in other words, it is the positioning of the item (the focus of mnemonic 3.1 ), the performing of the laser cutting process (focus of mnemonic 3.2) and the post-processing of the item belonging to the process (the focus of mnemonic 3.3.) in the cutter.

The fixed parts of the work phase mnemonics constitute the body of the laser cutting machine itself, the fastening means (with which the object to be treated is fastened to the laser cutting machine) and the item. Even if the item is changing, it is in this example not considered as a dynamic part, because it is not included into the set of actively moved parts. The dynamic parts of the mnemonic are those which are actively used for something, i.e. the horizontal and vertical movements of the laser beam and the properties of the laser beam (which can be calibrated).

Let us call the parts of the mnemonic 3.1. of work phase 3 as follows

Main focus: F Laser cutting

Sub-focus: F1 Positioning of the item

Fixed parts a1 + b1 + c1 Body + Fastening means + Item

Dynamic parts d1 + e1 + f1 Horizontal move + Vertical move + Laser beam

The cutting is performed In the phase corresponding to mnemonic 3.2. The subject is still laser cutting so the main focus does not change, but the own "sub-focus" of this mnemonic 3.2. is now the performing of the laser cutting process itself. Also the body of the apparatus, the fastening means and the item are still in the same place, and consequently they constitute the fixed and unchangeable parts of the mnemonics. The dynamic part, on the contrary, have changed, because in the phase described by mnemonic 3.1 there was no movement at all and the beam was not in use. The data of the dynamic parts of mnemonic 3.2 should be stored into the mnemonic to show how the laser beam should be moved and what kind of beam is to be used.

Thus, let us call the parts of mnemonic 3.2 of work phase 3 as follows

Main focus: F Laser cutting

Sub-focus: F2 Performing of the laser cutting process

Fixed parts a1 + b1 + c1 Body + Fastening means + Item

Dynamic parts d2 + e2 + f2 Horizontal move + Vertical move + Laser beam

The post processing is performed in the phase according to mnemonic 3.3. The subject is still laser cutting and thus the main focus does not change. Also the body of the apparatus, the fastening means and the item, are still in the same place why they constitute the fixed and unchangeable parts of the mnemonics. The dynamic parts, on the contrary, have changed, because the movements of the laser beam in the post-processing phase have changed again. The data of the dynamic parts of mnemonic 3.3 should be stored into the mnemonic to show how the laser beam should be moved and what kind of beam should be used in the post-processing.

Focus: F Laser cutting

Sub-focus: F3 Post-processing

Fixed parts a1 + b1 + c1 Body + Fastening means + Item

Dynamic parts d3 + e3 + f3 Horizontal move + Vertical move + Laser beam

Thus, by taking into account the description of figures 2 and 3, the structure of the matrix presented in figure 2 is optimised based on the content of the mnemonics and the idea of presentation by considering expressly this laser cutting process.

As the mnemonics also may contain e.g. pictures, speech and video-cuts, also these contents may have dynamic parts which change analogously.

Figure 5 presents how presentation preferably is done in accordance with a data structure of the invention by utilizing an auxiliary tool (wizard). The process can be performed also without a wizard, but the wizard guides the user to execute the actions needed in right order.

In the first step, the wizard guides the user to create a connection to internet or to some specific tunnelled computer in a tunnelled network (Virtual Private Network (VPN)) or to some computer in a connected network (Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network).

The construction of the presentation is started in this example by searching material with respect to the subject e.g. by using suitable search words or by searching from known memory places. The wizard is foreseen with a browser (search tool), by means of which information in connection with the desired subject can be searched from internet.. In this example, the search resulted in finding various source files,, which could be for instance power point files (files 1-5 of figure 5), video clips (file 6, of figure 5), images (file 7 of figure 5), word documents (file 8 of figure 5), a file in Portable Document Format (PDF) (file 9 of figure 5), or an Excel document (file 10 of figure 5) as in the example of figure 4.

The usable files are then selected from the files found and they are converted to mnemonics by following certain rules, for example in Flash form, depending on what kind of presentation one wants to make. The modifications to be done constitute of e.g. modification of content, scope of content, size of the file, appearance, etc. The desired start and end times 11 , can be selected from the video-clip and, text 12 may be changed, deleted, added etc.

Ready platforms can preferably be used for the mnemonics to be made, into which data can be filled in an organised way. They can e.g. have fields, into which whole files sentences or words are linked or filled in.

The presentation is built into a mnemonic matrix, into which the desired documents (e.g. images and texts) to be presented, which now are converted into mnemonics, can be selected into each place .E.g. music or other voice, a desired clip from a video to be shown, text or logos etc. can be connected to them in desired places. Thus, there can simultaneously be a certain text content, music or a logo visible in the same mnemonic. The presentation made is thus now stored as a mnemonic system. The mnemonics are set in desired order in this system. The presentation can then be presented then in a ready programmed form so that the mnemonics are presented in a given sequence (time- programmed or manually) or the parts of the mnemonics of the system may be searched to be presented also separately, and they can be modified.

A platform for the mnemonics may for example look as follows (reference is again made to the description of figure 3 above.

The data to be presented is now parsed in the mnemonics and the place of the mnemonics in the data structure has been defined.

After this, a mnemonic matrix 13 is made of the mnemonics made, ,in which the mnemonics are in a format and possibly in some kind of a hierarchical order according to type or content and furthermore, algorithms (rules) concerning the place of the mnemonics have been connected to the mnemonic, , which defines the entirety of the presentation.

The wizard then makes a ready presentation 14 of the mnemonic matrix according to the algoritms , in which the mnemonics are shown either as a long presentation in the form of sequential mnemonics or in some other hierarchic order.
