Description

[0001] METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OUTPUTING REPLACEMENT ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS [0002]

The present invention relates to an alternative electronic document output method and apparatus, and more particularly, to an alternative electronic document output method and apparatus that can generate an alternative electronic document to which an alternative font is applied when a font applied to an original of an electronic document to be output does not exist in an output terminal. And a document output method and apparatus.

Generally, various fonts are provided in the electronic document editor, and various fonts (fonts) can be selected according to the user's choice. As the types of fonts are diversified and the demand for various fonts increases, the fonts are recognized as independent contents apart from the electronic document editor, and thus it becomes possible to purchase only fonts. Accordingly, the fonts stored in each terminal may be different from each other. For example, while the user owns various types of terminals such as personal computers, smart phones, tablets, and the like, there are various fonts stored in the respective terminals, and the fonts stored in each terminal may also be different .

Therefore, a user can create an electronic document using various kinds of fonts, and a font used for an electronic document created at an arbitrary terminal may not be stored in another terminal. In other words, when editing or outputting an electronic document created in one font in an arbitrary terminal by another terminal, a font in which the electronic document is created may not exist in another terminal.

In such a case, characters corresponding to the corresponding font are displayed on the electronic document created by other terminals, or an error occurs in the electronic document editor application itself. In addition, when it is replaced with another arbitrary alternative font, there arises a problem that the document length, configuration, etc. are converted into a very heterogeneous form from the original.

There is thus a need to provide a method of applying alternate fonts so that an alternative electronic document most similar to the original electronic document can be generated if the font used in the original electronic document does not exist in the terminal outputting the electronic document .

Various embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 shows a schematic configuration of an alternative electronic document output module according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the alternative electronic document output module 100 includes a receiving unit 110, a selecting unit 120, and a processing unit 130. The alternative electronic document output module 100 receives the font information and the page configuration information from the original electronic document 200. If the same font does not exist in the electronic document editor mounted on the terminal to be output, ).

Alternate electronic document output module 100 may be an application included in the system or a module included in an electronic document editor application. For example, the alternative electronic document output module 100 may be a module embedded in an operating system system, such as Microsoft's Windows, and may be an electronic document editor such as the POLARIS office of Infraware, Can be included in an application and executed.

The receiving unit 110 receives various information from the original electronic document 200 when the original electronic document 200 is executed through the electronic document editor application. The receiving unit 110 receives the font information and the page configuration information of the original electronic document 200 as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to generate the replacement electronic document 300. [ Also, the receiving unit 110 may compare the font information of the original electronic document 200 with the output terminal possessed font. The receiving unit 110 may transmit the font information and page configuration information of the received original electronic document 200 to the selecting unit 120. [

The selecting unit 120 may receive font information and page configuration information of the original electronic document 200 together with whether the alternative electronic document 300 is generated from the receiving unit 110. [ The selecting unit 120 selects an applied substitute font that can be outputted most similar to the original electronic document 200 based on the font information and page configuration information of the original electronic document 200. [ Accordingly, the selecting unit 120 transmits the selected application substitute font and the page configuration information of the original electronic document 200 to the processing unit 130.

The processing unit 130 receives the application replacement font and the page configuration information of the original electronic document 200 from the selection unit 120, and generates an alternative electronic document. The generated electronic document can be displayed variously through the electronic document editor application.

2 illustrates a procedure for outputting an alternative electronic document according to an alternative electronic document output method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Will be described with reference to Fig. 1 for convenience of explanation.

The alternative electronic document output method according to the present invention starts when the receiving unit 110 receives font information and page configuration information of an original electronic document (S110).

The receiving unit 110 receives font information and page configuration information from the original electronic document 200 when the original electronic document 200 is executed through the electronic document editor application. Accordingly, in order to check whether or not the font applied to the original electronic document exists in the output terminal, the receiving unit 110 displays the font in the electronic document editor application of the user's output terminal based on the font information of the original electronic document 200 It is possible to retrieve a font having an output terminal as much as possible. In addition, the receiving unit 110 may compare the font information of the original electronic document 200 with the output terminal possessed font to determine whether the same font exists in the output terminal. If the font of the original electronic document does not exist in the electronic document editor application executed on the output terminal or the output terminal due to the difference between the output terminal and the terminal where the original electronic document is generated, You can send a command to select a font. That is, the receiving unit 110 determines whether or not the alternative electronic document 300 should be generated based on the information received from the original electronic document 200. When it is necessary to generate the alternative electronic document 300, 120, the font information and the page configuration information of the original electronic document 200 can be transmitted. However, if the font corresponding to the font information of the original electronic document 200 exists in the font of the output terminal, the original electronic document 200 is executed by the electronic document editor application and can be edited through the electronic document editor application Lt; / RTI >

If the same font does not exist, the selection unit 120 searches the output terminal possessed font and selects an alternative font group based on the page configuration information (S120).

If there is no font identical to the font information of the original electronic document 200 among the output terminal possessed fonts, the selection unit 120 selects the alternative font group based on the page configuration information, Select. If there is no font identical to the font of the original electronic document 200 among the output terminal possessed fonts, the selection unit 120 can assume a substitute font group based on a part or all of the output terminal possessed fonts. For example, when only a part of the output terminal possessed font is assumed to be an alternative font group, it may mean that the electronic document editor application does not set all of the output terminal possessed fonts to an applicable font. That is, when only a part of output terminal possessing fonts in Microsoft Word are registered as applicable fonts, the substitute font group includes only the applicable fonts registered in the electronic document editor application. Also, the alternative font group may form an alternative font group by setting only a part of the applicable fonts in the electronic document editor application as an applicable substitute font. In other words, an alternative font group may be determined by setting fonts that can be applied as an alternative font through an environment setting or the like in an electronic document editor application. However, except for the case described above, all of the output terminal possessed fonts can generally be assumed to be a substitute font group.

The selecting unit 120 selects the applied substitute font based on the font information in the substitute font group (S130).

To select an applied alternate font, the selection unit 120 may compare the original electronic document 200 with the alternative electronic document 300 to be generated by applying the respective fonts included in the alternative font group. The selecting unit 120 may apply the respective fonts included in the substitute font group to the original electronic document 200 to generate application information of the electronic document to be generated by applying each of the substitute fonts. That is, the selection unit 120 can compare the application information of the electronic document to be generated by applying each of the substitute fonts to the setting information of the original electronic document 200 without generating an alternative electronic document for each substitute font . Accordingly, the selecting unit 120 selects a substitute font that has the most similar application information as the setting information of the original electronic document 200 as an applied substitute font. Also, the selection unit 120 may transmit the application information of the alternative electronic document selected by the user to the processing unit 130 through previewing. A specific method of selecting an applied substitute font will be described with reference to the example shown in Fig.

The processing unit 130 generates an alternative electronic document 300 based on the selected application replacement font and the page configuration information (S140). The alternative electronic document 300 generated by the processing unit 130 is displayed through the electronic document editor application. For example, the replacement electronic document 300 may be displayed to be editable in the same manner as the original electronic document 200 is executed in the electronic document editor application, or may be displayed in a preview manner provided for output to a printer It is possible.

If only the font for the portion of the original electronic document 200 is not present in the output terminal possessed font, the processing unit 130 applies the substitute font to only the portion of the corresponding original electronic document 200, 300 < / RTI > In such a case, the page configuration information of the original electronic document 200 may also include specific information about a portion to which the substitute font should be applied. For example, concrete information on a portion to which a substitute font should be applied can be expressed as '3 to 12 lines to 17 lines'.

The processing unit 130 may generate an alternative electronic document 300 having a layout most similar to the original electronic document 200 by applying an alternative font.

3A to 3B illustrate a process of selecting an alternative font to be applied to an alternative electronic document based on an exemplary configuration of an original electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3A, font information and page configuration information are extracted from the original electronic document 200. For example, the font information of the original electronic document 200 indicates the type and the size of the font, and indicates " Sharing Gothic, 12 points ". The page configuration information of the original electronic document 200 includes the number of pages, the number of lines, and the number of words. For example, the original electronic document 200 is composed of a total of '12 pages', and the total number of lines can be confirmed by calculating the number of lines (number of lines) for each page. When the last page 210 of the original electronic document 200 is filled up, the total number of lines of the original electronic document 200 becomes 120 lines. The selecting unit 120 may calculate the number of words or characters for each line 220 of the page to include the entire word or the number of characters in the page configuration information of the original electronic document 200. [ Thus, the original electronic document setting information including the "sharing gothic font, 12 points" and the page configuration information "12 pages, 120 lines" is extracted from the original electronic document 200. The extracted original electronic document setting information is compared with the substitute font application information of the substitute electronic document to which the substitute font is applied to determine the substitute font.

Referring to FIG. 3B, the original electronic document setting information 230 includes font information 231 and page configuration information 233 according to the alternative electronic document output method. Also, the substitute font application information group 310 includes font information 321 and page configuration information 323 for each substitute font of the substitute font group.

To select a substitute font, the selection unit 120 compares the original electronic document setting information 230 and the substitute font application information 311 to 315, respectively. More specifically, the selection unit 120 compares the page configuration information 233 of the original electronic document configuration information 230 with the page configuration information 323 of the substitute font application information group 310. [ Accordingly, the selecting unit 120 has page configuration information that is the same as or the most similar to the page configuration information 233 of the original electronic document setting information 230 among the page configuration information 323 of the substitute font application information group 310 The substitute font application information 311 to 315 is selected. Also, the selection unit 120 may calculate the similarity by comparing the original electronic document setting information 230 and the substitute font application information 311 to 315. Accordingly, each of the alternative font application information 311 to 315 may further include the similarity with the font information and the page configuration information of the alternative electronic document. For example, since the page configuration information 233 of the original electronic document setting information 230 is '12 pages, 120 lines', the selecting unit 120 can select the substitute font application information having the highest degree of similarity. Accordingly, the selection unit 120 substitutes' Gothic fonts, 12 points' having the page configuration information 323 of '12 pages, 121 lines' of the substitute font application information 311 to 315 with the degree of similarity of '98% Font application information 315 can be selected. Accordingly, the selection unit 120 selects the applied substitute font as 'Gothic type' according to the font information 321 of the substitute font application information 315. That is, when the alternative font is applied to 'Gothic', the alternative electronic document output module 100 can generate an alternative electronic document 300 having the layout most similar to the original electronic document 200.

4A-4B illustrate a preview for selecting an alternate electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4A, an arbitrary page of exemplary replacement electronic documents 321, 331, and 341 to which substitute font application information 311 to 315 is applied to the original electronic document 210 is previewed on the output terminal. The user may select the example replacement electronic document 321, 331, 341 to be displayed in a preview and select an alternative font to be applied to the outputting replacement electronic document. Example An alternate electronic document can display the last page of an alternate electronic document.

The preview output according to the alternative electronic document output module 100 can display the original electronic document 210, the respective example replacement electronic document 321, 331, 341 and the replacement font application information 351 to 353 . Alternate font application information 351 to 353 may include an alternate font, page configuration information, and similarity. For example, if the substitute font is a 'compass', the first example replacement electronic document 321 may be output as a total of '10 pages ', '99 lines', and the similarity is 72%. If the substitute font is a 'protagonist', the second example replacement electronic document 331 can be output in total of '13 pages' and '124 lines', and the similarity is 87%. When the substitute font is' Gothic ', the third example replacement electronic document 341 can be outputted in total '12 pages' and' 121 lines', and the similarity is 98%. The user can select one of the example replacement electronic documents while previewing the alternative electronic document to which the substitute font is applied. Accordingly, when selecting an example replacement electronic document, the processing unit 130 generates an alternative electronic document, and the generated replacement electronic document is displayed through the output terminal.

Referring to FIG. 4B, if the page configuration information 323 of the substitute font application information 311 to 315 is identical to the original electronic document 210, the user can directly select a desired substitute font. That is, when the page configuration information 323 among the substitute font application information generated for each substitute font group in the substitute font group is the same, an alternate electronic document to which the substitute font is applied for each substitute font having the same page configuration information 323 can be displayed have. In such a case, an alternative electronic document different only in font information may be displayed only as a part of an example, and the user can select an alternative font based on the displayed alternative electronic document. For example, when the original electronic document 210 is composed of "Sharing Gothic, 12 points, 10 lines", the fourth example replacement electronic document 323 is "Gothic, 10 lines" Quot ;, the sixth example replacement electronic document 343 is composed of " 10 lines, " and so the page configuration information except for the font information is the same. In this case, the degree of similarity as shown in FIG. 4A may be omitted or may be expressed as '100%'.

The alternative electronic document output module 100 displays three types of example replacement electronic documents 323, 333, and 343 having the same page configuration information 323 through the display unit of the output terminal, 323, 333, and 343), the user can select a desired font type to select an alternative font, thereby generating a replacement electronic document.

The example alternate electronic document page may be displayed in one or more alternative fonts, and may be displayed as an alternate font applied to the last page of the original electronic document. In addition, the alternative electronic document output module 100 displays a sample electronic document page having similarity in similarity to the user through a preview, and the user selects an example electronic document page to which the desired font is applied, Can be applied. Thus, if the layout of the alternative electronic document to be generated is the same, the user can finally select the desired alternative font.

When the original electronic document 200 is executed through the electronic document editor application, the replacement electronic document output module 100 determines whether the font applied to the original electronic document 200 exists in the font held by the output terminal. Accordingly, the output terminal does not have the font applied to the original electronic document 200, so that the original electronic document 200 can not be displayed as it is in the original. The alternative electronic document output module 100 selects an alternative font to generate an alternative electronic document 300 having the layout most similar to the original electronic document 200.
