Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a processing system for executing edit processing of a created document created by a word processor or the like, and particularly, to enable the edit processing of the created document to be executed efficiently and effectively. Regarding processing system.

Recent technological advances have been remarkable. Against this background, manuals and various documents created by each company such as electronic equipment related companies are subject to the rapid sophistication of technology handled by each company and diversification of services to customers. As the amount of the contents has been increasing, demands for securing the content quality and reducing the production cost have become important issues in response to the increase.

From now on, there is a demand for the construction of a structure that can automatically perform a variety of and a large number of manuals and various documents editing processes by using computer processing without human intervention.

[0004]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, "chapter" or "section" included in a document has been used as a method of executing an editing process of changing the character type, character size, etc. of a document created by a word processor or the like. For example, a fixed edit control code is assigned to a specific edit target character such as, and when the edit target character is searched by searching the document during the editing process, the paired edit control code is There is a method of executing the editing process by associating with each other.

As another conventional technique, WYSIWY
Use a word processor with G (What You See Is What You Get) function to display the same document editing configuration on the display screen as when printing, and handle the editing control code while interacting with the user. In some cases, the method of performing the editing process by adding the method is adopted.

[0006]

However, according to the former prior art, it is impossible to easily deal with the case where the edit content is desired to be changed because the fixed conversion logic is internally incorporated. There was a problem. Further, there is a problem that different editing contents cannot be applied to the same editing target character.
Further, since vector information such as drawing data and table data cannot be edited, there is also a problem that the design becomes poorly defined.

Further, according to the latter conventional technique, the user manually executes the editing process,
There is a problem that it is inefficient and is not suitable for editing a large amount of documents.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a new processing system capable of efficiently and effectively executing editing processing of a created document.

[0009]

FIG. 1 shows the principle configuration of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a document creation / editing processing system equipped with the present invention, and 2 is a terminal which functions as a man-machine interface device.

The document creating / editing processing system 1 executes a document creating process and a document editing process. In order to execute this process, the input / output control means 10, the document creating means 11 and the created document are executed. Expansion means 12, style conversion table 13, registration means 14, storage frame size setting means 15, layout form setting means 16, and line spacing setting means 17
And editing means 18.

The input / output control means 10 executes interface processing with the terminal 2. The document creating means 11 creates a document by interacting with the terminal 2. At this time, the document creating means 11 associates the text data portion (code data portion) of the created document with an indicator for displaying the edit attribute of the text data portion, and the created document is represented by either figure data or table data. When one or both of them are included, the graphic data portion is associated with a marker that is displayed while identifying the graphic data and the tabular data.

The created document expanding means 12 is the document creating means 1
The created document created in 1 is stored. The style conversion table 13 manages the correspondence between the marker associated with the text data portion by the document creating means 11 and the edit control code indicated by the marker. The registration unit 14 interacts with the terminal 2 to execute the registration process of the management data of the style conversion table 13.

The storage frame size setting means 15 interacts with the terminal 2 to individually or uniformly set the storage frame size of the chart data portion. The layout form setting means 16 sets the layout form of the chart data portion within the storage frame size by interacting with the terminal 2. The line spacing setting means 17 sets the line feed value of the chart data portion by interacting with the terminal 2.

The editing means 18 associates various kinds of editing information with the created document read from the created document expanding means 12, and in order to execute this processing, the replacing means 19
A chart size determining means 20 and an arrangement position determining means 21.
And line spacing determining means 22.

[0016]

According to the present invention, the document creating means 11 creates a document while associating the text data portion of the created document with the indicator for displaying the edit attribute of the text data portion, and also the graphic data portion of the created document. , A document is created while associating the indicators for displaying the graphic table data portion, the created document is stored in the created document developing means 12, and upon receipt of this storage, the editing means 18 sequentially edits from the created document developing means 12. Read the target document.

At this time, the replacing means 19 of the editing means 18
When a marker associated with the text data portion is described in the read document, the marker is replaced with the corresponding edit control code managed by the style conversion table 13 so that the text data portion of the created document is converted. On the other hand, the editing information desired by the user registered by the registration means 14 is associated. Then, the replacing means 19 deletes the unnecessary mark.

Further, when the read document describes a marker associated with the table data portion, the chart size determining means 20 of the editing means 18 stores the mark indicated by the marker set by the storage frame size setting means 15. The frame size is compared with the initial size of the chart data portion set by the document creating means 11. When the initial size is smaller, the initial size is determined as the final size and the chart data portion is set. On the contrary, when the storage frame size is smaller, by determining the storage frame size as the final size and associating it with the chart data portion, Corresponding editing information desired by the user such that the chart data portion fits within the storage frame size set by the storage frame size setting means 15. Then, the chart size determining means 20 deletes the unnecessary mark. Note that it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the chart data portion is enlarged when the initial size is smaller.

The arrangement position determining means 2 of the editing means 18
1 indicates that, when the read document contains a marker associated with the chart data portion, the comparison result of the chart size determining unit 20 and the layout form indicated by the label set by the layout form setting unit 16 By calculating the layout position of the chart data portion in the storage frame size and associating it with the chart data portion, the editing information desired by the user set by the layout form setting means 16 for the chart data portion of the created document. Correspond to.

The line spacing determining means 22 of the editing means 18
When a marker associated with the chart data portion is described in the read document, the line feed value indicated by the marker set by the line spacing setting means 17 is associated with the chart data portion to create the created document. The edit data desired by the user, which is set by the line spacing setting means 17, is associated with the table data portion of.

Further, when adopting this configuration, an indentation setting means for setting an indentation value from a tag indicating a data display attribute and a tag for setting an indentation value as a tag indicating a data display attribute are described. In some cases, an indentation deciding means for deciding an arrangement position of the chart data portion may be provided according to the indentation value indicated by the tag.

As described above, according to the present invention, the editing process of a created document can be automatically performed in a small document unit basis, and the editing contents can be freely changed. It is possible to edit not only the text data portion but also the figure data portion.

[0023]

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the document creation / editing processing system 30 constructed according to the present invention.

In the figure, the same components as those explained in FIG. 1 are designated by the same symbols. Reference numeral 31 is a floppy (registered trademark) disk for storing a document created by a word processor (not shown), and 23 is provided in place of the document creating means 11 and reads the created document stored in the floppy disk 31 to create created document expanding means. Reference numeral 12 is a document reading means to be developed, and 32 is a floppy disk for storing a document associated with the editing information by the editing means 18.

Here, the floppy disk 31 stores a document consisting of text data, a ruled line table and a graphic diagram. In this embodiment, the ruled line table and the graphic diagram are associated with the attributes related to the chart frame. It is assumed that information and text data described in figures and tables will be managed in correspondence with each other.

As described with reference to FIG. 1, in the present invention, when the writer of a document creates a document using a word processor or the like, the text data part, the figure data part and the table data part of the created document are marked ( If the tags are described in association with each other, the document creation / editing processing system 30 automatically applies edit information for realizing the design intended by the editor (sometimes the author) to the document. It is processed as if it is attached.

That is, by using the present invention, the writer writes tags "<chapter>" and "</ chapter>" in the "chapter" portion of the document, as shown in FIG. And the "chapter" part will be printed with the design intended by the editor, and the tags "<paragraph>" and "</ paragraph>" will be written in the "paragraph" part of the document. Then, the "paragraph" will be printed with the design intended by the editor, and the tags "<section>" and "</ section>" will be added to the "section" of the document. If you describe it, the "section" part will be printed with the design intended by the editor, and "<figure>" and "</ figure>" will be displayed in the "graphic diagram" part of the document. If you write the tag, the "graphic diagram" part will be the design intended by the editor. Now that it is printed, if you write the tags "<table>" and "</ table>" in the "ruled line table" part of the document, the "ruled line table" part will have the design intended by the editor. Will be printed.

In order to realize this structure, as described with reference to FIG. 1, the editor performs style conversion while interacting with the registration means 14 in order to make the document created by the writer the intended design. The correspondence relationship between the tag described by the writer and the edit control code that the tag means, as shown in FIG. 4, is registered in the table 13. Here, this edit control code has a configuration that can be input in a document for the convenience of the editor.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a registration screen for the input process of the edit control code displayed on the display screen of the terminal 2 by the registration means 14. Through this registration screen, the editor, for example, for the tag "<section>" described in the section of the document, as shown by in the figure, "indent (number of characters from the left end)" Assign various edit control codes such as "0", and assign various edit control codes such as "right justify" to the tag "<<" as shown in the figure. It goes.

Then, the editor interacts with the storage frame size setting means 15 to set the storage frame size of the graphic diagram or the ruled line table, and interacts with the layout form setting means 16, as shown in FIG. Then, the layout mode such as whether to align the graphic diagram or the ruled line table to the left side, the right side, or the center of the set storage frame size is set, and dialogue with the line spacing setting means 17 is performed. By doing so, the line feed value of the ruled line table (which can also be applied to the graphic diagram) is set. Here, FIG.
“X” and “Y” in the inside represent storage frame size values (the number of characters for X and the number of lines for Y) set by the storage frame size setting means 15, and “x” and “y” are The initial size value (the number of characters for x and the number of lines for y) of the graphic diagram or ruled line table before editing stored in the floppy disk 31 is shown.

Specifically, the document creation / editing processing system 30 sets the storage frame size, the layout form, and the line feed value as shown in FIG. 7A for the ruled line table. It is executed by displaying the screen on the display screen of the terminal 2 and interacting with the editor. For the graphic diagram, the setting screen as shown in FIG. 7B is displayed on the display screen of the terminal 2 to communicate with the editor. Although it can be executed by interacting, as another method, it is possible to set a value as a tag attribute so that a different value can be set for each table number or figure number, or for a ruled line table and a graphic diagram. When it becomes common in general, including the above, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which one screen is configured and set at one time.

FIG. 8 shows an embodiment of the processing flow executed by the editing means 18. Next, the document editing process according to the present invention will be described according to this process flow.

As shown in the process flow of FIG. 8, the editing means 18 first reads in step 1 the editing target document from the created document developing means 12 for one editing unit. next,
In step 2, it is judged whether or not the read document to be edited is a text data portion, and if it is a text data portion, the process proceeds to step 3 and the text editing processing is executed according to the processing flow of FIG. 9 described later. .

On the other hand, when it is judged in step 2 that the document is not the text data part, the process proceeds to step 4 and it is judged whether the read document to be edited is a ruled line table part having a tag "<table>". If it is determined that it is the ruled line table portion, the process proceeds to step 5, and the table editing process is executed according to the process flow of FIGS.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 4 that the document is not the ruled line table portion, the process proceeds to step 6 to determine whether or not the read document to be edited is a graphic drawing portion having a tag "<figure>". When it is determined that the portion is the graphic drawing portion, the process proceeds to step 7 and the drawing editing processing is executed according to the processing flow of FIGS.

Then, when the processing of step 3 / step 5 / step 7 is completed, or when it is judged in step 6 that it is not the graphic drawing portion, the processing proceeds to step 8 and the reading processing for all the documents to be edited is performed. It is determined whether or not the editing is completed, and when it is determined that the editing is completed, the editing processing is ended, and when it is determined that the processing is not completed, the processing returns to step 2 to execute the editing processing for all the documents. .

Next, the text editing processing executed by the editing means 18 will be described with reference to the processing flow of FIG.

When the editing means 18 determines that the document to be edited read from the created document developing means 12 is the text data portion, as shown in the processing flow of FIG. It is determined whether or not the portion has the tag "<chapter>". When it is determined that the portion has the tag, the process proceeds to step 2 to prepare the reference processing of the style conversion table 13. And the following step 3
Then, in the reference process of the style conversion table 13, when it is determined in step 4 that the entry of the tag “<chapter>” is searched, the process proceeds to step 5 and the edit associated with the tag “<chapter>” is performed. The control code is specified, and the edit control code is copied / inserted in the text data portion of the document to be edited, and then in step 6,
The tag "<chapter>" of the document to be edited that is the source of the search target is deleted.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 1 that the read text data portion does not have the tag "<chapter>", the process proceeds to step 7 and the text data portion has the tag "<section>". Decide whether or not,
If it is determined that the style conversion table 13 is held, the process proceeds to step 2 to prepare the reference processing of the style conversion table 13. Then, in the following step 3, the reference processing of the style conversion table 13 is entered, and the determination processing of step 4 is performed to step 8
Then, when it is determined to search for the entry of the tag "<section>", the process proceeds to step 9, the edit control code associated with the tag "<section>" is specified, and the edit control code read is edited. Copy in the text of the target document
After the insertion, in the subsequent step 10, the tag "<section>" of the document to be edited which is the source of the search target is deleted.

Hereinafter, this processing is performed by the style conversion table 1
By repeating the tags registered in No. 3, the editing unit 18 sets the tag, which is associated with the text data portion, in the editing target document read from the created document expanding unit 12, when the tag is associated with the text data portion. By replacing with the corresponding edit control code managed by the style conversion table 13, the edit information desired by the editor is associated with the document to be edited. As a result, when the printing process of the document is executed, the document is printed according to the design indicated by the editing information.

Next, the table editing process executed by the editing means 18 will be described with reference to the process flows shown in FIGS.

When the editing means 18 judges that the document to be edited read from the created document developing means 12 has the tag "<table>" and is a ruled line table portion, as shown in the processing flow of FIG. First, in step 1, the vertical and horizontal sizes of the ruled line table portion are updated. Specifically, this update process is performed by the initial size value x, which the read ruled line table portion has,
y (shown in FIG. 6) and storage frame size setting means 15
If the storage frame size value is smaller than the initial size value, the storage frame size values X and Y (shown in FIG. 6) of the set ruled line table are compared. The initial size value is updated to the storage frame size value in order to fit into the storage frame size value. On the other hand, when the storage frame size value is larger than the initial size value, the initial size value remains the same as the storage frame size value. Execute by leaving the initial size value as it is without updating it. By this update processing, even when the initial size value is larger, the ruled line table portion is reduced and printed so that it fits within the storage frame size at the time of printing.

Next, in step 2, the line feed value held by the read ruled line table portion is updated to the line feed value set by the line spacing setting means 17, and then in step 3, it is set by the arrangement form setting means 16. If it is determined that the arrangement form is "left alignment", and if it is "left alignment", the process proceeds to step 4, and the left alignment process is executed according to the processing flow of FIG. 11 described later. Then, at the time of printing, the indentation value (as shown in FIG. 6) is set so that the read ruled line table portion is arranged at the left end portion of the storage frame size.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 3 that it is not "left justification", the process proceeds to step 5 where it is judged whether the set arrangement form is "center justification" and it is "center justification". If so, go to step 6,
By performing the centering process according to the process flow of FIG. 12 which will be described later, the indentation value is set such that the read ruled line table portion is arranged at the center portion of the storage frame size at the time of printing.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 5 that it is not "center alignment", the process proceeds to step 7 and it is determined whether the set layout form is "right alignment", and it is "right alignment". If so, go to step 8
By performing the right alignment process according to the process flow of FIG. 13 described later, the indentation value is set so that the read ruled line table portion is arranged at the right end portion of the storage frame size at the time of printing.

When it is determined in step 7 that the arrangement is not "right justification", that is, when the arrangement form setting unit 16 does not set the arrangement form, the indentation value of the ruled line table portion read from the created document developing unit 12 is used. The arrangement position within the storage frame size will be determined.

Next, the left justification processing / center justification processing / right justification processing executed by the editing means 18 will be described according to the processing flow of FIGS. 11 to 13.

When the editing means 18 determines that the arrangement form set by the arrangement form setting means 16 is "left alignment", as shown in the processing flow of FIG. 11, "X ≧ x, Y ≧".
y ”,“ X ≧ x, Y <y ”,“ X <x, Y ≧ y ”,
In either case of "X <x, Y <y", after setting "0" as the indentation value, the tag "<table>" (in the case of the figure editing processing described later, the tag "<figure>") is set. ) ”Is deleted and the process ends.

On the other hand, when the editing means 18 determines that the arrangement form set by the arrangement form setting means 16 is "center alignment", as shown in the processing flow of FIG. 12, "X ≧ x,
When Y ≧ y ”, the indentation value is

[0051]

[Equation 1]

If "X≥x, Y <y" is set, the indentation value is

[0053]

[Equation 2]

If "X <x, Y≥y" is set, "0" is set as the indentation value, and "X <x, Y <
y ”,

[0055]

[Equation 3]

When the condition of is satisfied, "0" is set as the indentation value and

[0057]

[Equation 4]

When the condition (1) is satisfied, the above expression [Formula 2] is set as the indentation value, and then the tag "<table>(tag"<figure>"in the case of figure editing processing described later)". Is deleted and the process ends. Here, “[...]” described in the formulas 1 to 4 means rounding up, for example.

On the other hand, when the editing means 18 determines that the arrangement form set by the arrangement form setting means 16 is "right alignment", as shown in the processing flow of FIG. 13, "X ≧ x, Y".
If ≧ y ”, the indentation value is set to“ X−x ”, and if“ X ≧ x, Y <y ”, the indentation value is set to

[0060]

[Equation 5]

When "X <x, Y≥y" is set, "0" is set as the indentation value, and "X <x, Y <
In the case of y ”, when the condition of the above [Formula 3] is satisfied, the indentation value is set to“ 0 ”, and when the condition of the above [Formula 4] is satisfied, the indentation is performed. After setting the above [Equation 5] expression as a value, the tag "<
The table> (the tag “<figure>” in the case of the later-described diagram editing process) ”is deleted and the process ends.

In this way, the editing means 18, when the tag associated with the ruled line table portion is described in the document to be edited read from the created document developing means 12, the ruled line table portion is stored in the storage frame size setting means. The indentation value is set for the ruled line table portion so as to realize the arrangement form set by the arrangement form setting means 16 while guaranteeing that it fits in the storage size set by 15, and the line spacing setting means 17 The line feed value set by will be set for the ruled line table portion. As a result, when the printing process of the document is executed, the ruled line table portion in the document is printed according to the design desired by the editor.

As described in the processing flow of FIG. 8, the editing means 18 executes the figure editing processing when the edit target document read from the created document developing means 12 has the tag "<figure>". Become. This figure editing process is executed in accordance with the process flow of FIGS. 10 to 13 similarly to the table editing process. However, since it is not preferable to allow the change of the line feed value in the drawing editing process, the process of step 2 in the process flow of FIG. 10 is omitted.

That is, when the tag associated with the graphic drawing portion is described in the edit target document read from the created document expanding means 12, the edit means 18
By executing the processing flow shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, it is ensured that the graphic diagram portion fits within the storage frame size set by the storage frame size setting means 15, and the layout mode set by the layout mode setting means 16 is set. In order to realize it, we will set the indentation value for the graphic drawing part. As a result, when the printing process of the document is executed, the graphic drawing portion in the document is printed according to the design desired by the editor.

Thus, in the present invention, the author
When the document as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 is created while describing the tags, the document creation / editing processing system 30 causes the document creation / editing processing system 30 to convert the text data portion of the created document as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17. Automatically associates the editing control code desired by the editor, and automatically sets the vertical and horizontal sizes so that the ruled line table portion fits in the storage frame size desired by the editor. The indentation value that realizes the layout form is automatically set,
In addition, the line feed value desired by the editor is automatically set, and for the graphic part, the vertical and horizontal sizes are automatically set so that it fits in the storage frame size desired by the editor, and the editor's request The indentation value that realizes the above arrangement form is set and recorded on the floppy disk 32.

Upon receipt of the floppy disk 32, the word processor or the like which executes the printing process prints the document stored in the floppy disk 32 in accordance with the design specified by the associated editing information.
