[0037]
Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIGS. 11 to 13 the document management operation by the document data management system 1. FIG. 11 shows an operation procedure of the client device 5. FIG. 12 shows a first operation procedure in the server device 4. FIG. 13 shows a second operation procedure in the server device 4.
[0038]
First, the operation of the client device 5 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The client device 5 generates the input table 10 shown in FIG. 2 and displays it on the display 7 of the computers 3 _{2 to n} . The input table 10 is configured as an input table 10 having input areas a _{1 to m} for storing the _first character data d _{1 1 to m} shown in FIG. The client device 5 monitors whether an input operation by the operator is performed while displaying the input table 10 (S1101).
[0039]
The input operation here refers to the first characters to the input areas a _{1 to m} that are executed through the input device 8 under the control of arbitrary text creation software installed in the computers 3 _{2 to n} in advance. an input operation of the data d1 _{1 ~ m} (see FIG. 3).
[0040]
Upon confirming that the input operation has been performed in S1101, the client device 5 performs the first input in which the input first character data d1 and the input areas a _{1 to m of the} input table 10 are associated with each other. Data D1 (see FIG. 8) is generated (S1102).
[0041]
The client device 5 that has generated the first input data D1 in S1102 transmits the generated first input data D1 to the server device 4 via the telecommunication line 2 (S1103). Transmission is performed in the form of e-mail, for example.
[0042]
Next, the first operation of the server device 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The server device 4 monitors whether or not the first input data D1 is received from the client device 5 through the telecommunication line 2 (S1201).
[0043]
When it is confirmed in S1201 that the first input data D1 has been received, the server device 4 extracts the first input data D1 from the received data and then inputs each input area a _{1 of} the first input data D1. extracting a first character data d1 _{1 ~ m} from _{~ m} (S1202).
[0044]
Next, the server device 4, Writing software that created the first character data d1 _{1 ~ m} extracted in S1202 to determine what (S1203). Software determination can be performed by detecting the extensions that are attached to the first character data d1 _{1 ~ m.} This data format of the first character data d1 _{1 ~ m} is detected in the server device 4 by.
[0045]
When determining the first character data d1 _{1 ~ m} data format (create word processing software) in S1203, the server device 4, the first character data d1 _{1 ~ m} which determines the data format, the text data t1 _{1 To m} and typesetting information t2 ′ _{1 to p,} and second character data d2 ₁ from which any typesetting information t2 ′ _{1 to x} can be selectively separated and extracted from the typesetting information t2 ′ _{1 to p. To m} (see FIG. 5), conversion software to be converted is designated, and the designated conversion software is called from the recorder (not shown) of the server apparatus 4 (S1204).
[0046]
Next, the first character data d1 _{1 to m} is converted into the second character data d2 _{1 to m} using the conversion software called in S1204 (S1205). Then, the converted second character data d2 _{1 to m} is recorded in the database device 6 (S1206).
[0047]
Next, the second operation of the server device 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0048]
First, the server device 4 displays on the display 7 a designation guidance display that prompts the operator to designate which output table 11 from among the plurality of output tables 11 recorded, while the output table 11 It is monitored whether or not 11 designated inputs are made to the input device 8 (S1301). At this time, the designated guidance display prompts the designation input while displaying all the output formats of the plurality of output tables 11, for example. An operator who desires to output the output table 11 selects the desired output table 11 and inputs the selection result to the input unit 8 while viewing the designated guidance display displayed on the display unit 7 of the server device 4.
[0049]
The server device 4 that has confirmed that the designated input has been made in S1301 reads the designated output table 11 from a recorder in the server device 4 (not shown), and records areas b _{1 to} b provided in the read output table 11. Check _q . For example, in the output table 11 shown in FIG. 6, recording areas b ₃ , b ₄ , b ₅ , b ₇ , b ₁₀ , b ₁₁ are set, and these recording areas b ₃ , b ₄ , b ₅ , b _{7 are set.} , b ₁₀ , b ₁₁ are confirmed by the server apparatus 4 (S1302).
[0050]
Next, the server device 4 searches the composition information management table T to detect the composition information t2 _{1 to p} specified in the recording areas b _{1 to q} whose existence has been confirmed (S1303), and further outputs an output table. 11 read out the second character data d2 _{1 to m} input to the input areas a _{1 to m} corresponding to the recording areas b _{1 to q} confirmed to exist in the second input table data D2 (S1304). . Note that the processing of S1303 and S1304 may be performed at the same time, or contrary to the above, S1303 may be performed after S1304 is performed.
[0051]
Next, the second character data d2 _{1 to m} input to the input areas a _{1 to m} corresponding to the recording areas b _{1 to q} are converted into the composition information t2 _{1 to x} designated by the composition information management table T. third converting character data d3 _{1 ~ q} based on (S1305).
[0052]
Specifically, only the composition information t2 _{1 to x} specified in the composition information management table T is valid from the composition information t2 ′ _{1 to p that} can be separated and extracted that constitute the second character data d2 _{1 to m.} Then, a process of invalidating the formatting information t2 _{1 to y} that is not designated is performed. Then, the third character data d3 _{1 to q} is generated by combining the valid typesetting information t2 _{1 to x} and the text data t1 _{1 to q} .
[0053]
Next, the third character data d3 _{1 to q} generated by the conversion in S1305 is stored in the corresponding recording areas b _{1 to q} of the output table 11. At this time, the third character data d3 _{1 ~ q} by storing in a recording area b _{1 ~ q,} and generates an output table data D3 based on the layout information set in the recording areas b _{1 ~ q} ( S1306). The generated output table data D3 is recorded in the database device 6 and output to the outside (S1307).
[0054]
If the conversion software for converting the third character data d3 _{1 to q} into a format defined by any text conversion software is installed in the server device 4, the generated third character data d3 _{1 to q} can be arbitrarily set. _Can be stored in each of the recording areas b _{1 to q} of the output table 11 after being converted into a format defined by the sentence creation software.
[0055]
Figure 14 shows a display example data configuration example of the third character data d3 _{1 ~ q.} FIG. 14A shows a display example and data structure of the third character data d3 _{1 to q including} only the character size (25 points) which is the layout information of the recording areas b _{1 to q} . FIG. 14B shows a display example and data structure of the third character data d3 _{1 to q including} the character size (25 points) as layout information and the italic typeface which is one of the formatting information t2 _{1 to p.} It is an example. In FIG. 14C, a character size (25 points) as layout information, an italic typeface that is one of typesetting information t2 _{1 to p} , and an underline that is one of typesetting information t2 _{1 to q} are incorporated. a display example data configuration example of the third character data d3 _{1 ~ q.}
[0056]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, even in the first character data with different input format to the input table on the basis of different word processing software, typesetting information and the layout information that has been set in advance Can be converted into third character data and stored in the output table. As a result, the document data can be recorded in a unified format, and the use efficiency of the document data is increased accordingly.
