Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a display system for displaying document information and a storage medium storing a display program, and more particularly to a display system and a display program for displaying document information having at least content information and format information. And a storage medium storing the information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, text information is divided into content information and format information in consideration of display.
standard Generalized Marku
p Language, HTML (HyperTex)
t Markup Language) and the like. SGML is a computer language for handling electronic documents specified in ISO 8879, and is a document expression format for the purpose of versatile use of document data and exchange of documents between different types of devices. The idea is to separate document elements into structure, content, and appearance elements. HTML is W
SGML dedicated to WW (World Wide Web)
This is generally known as a homepage description language of the Internet. In these computer languages, the content and appearance are separated, so that the layout can be automatically changed according to the size of the display screen and the size of the window on the screen. Therefore, the entire contents can be read regardless of the size of the display screen and the size of the window on the screen.

[0003]

However, with the conventional technique, the entire contents can be read, but there is a problem that it is difficult to read. That is, in the case of Japanese, it is composed of ideographic characters and phonograms, and a unique technique (ruby, warichu, etc.) is used to make it easy to read and understand in books and the like. These are extremely important techniques when using ideographic characters, but phonograms are not used in the prior art because they do not exist as techniques in the first place. This means that when reading an e-book on screen,
This is a very important issue. In other words, scientific and technical literature assumes readers with a certain level of knowledge, so it is possible to set kanji (ideographic characters) and idioms that can be understood by the reader, and to read (ruby) and comment (warichu) The need to use is not so high. However, in the case of literary works such as novels and essays, the reader assumes a wide range of ages. At that time, kanji and idioms are used to make them easier to read, but it is necessary to use reading (ruby) and annotations (warinote) for age groups who do not know the kanji. These ruby and annotations are not necessary for the age group who has acquired the knowledge, so readers of the age group who are arranged to minimize the distraction when reading and who have not yet acquired the knowledge should read ( Understanding the meanings of kanji and idioms through ruby) and annotations (warinote) makes them easier to read, and the need for them becomes extremely high.

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a display system for displaying document information having at least content information and format information. The format information including area information having width information / area length information / area interval information, the content information having character information arranged at least in an area defined by the area information, and separation of specific areas. Storage means for storing separation prohibition information to be prohibited, display means for displaying document information, designation means for designating a display area on the display means, and determining the arrangement of the text information according to the display area And a layout determining means for determining a layout for each area information while following the separation prohibition information.

[0005] According to the first aspect of the present invention, of the area information having area origin information, area width information, area length information, and area interval information, separation prohibition information for prohibiting separation of specific areas, When determining the arrangement of the text information in accordance with the display area, by determining the arrangement according to the separation prohibition information, it is possible to prevent the specific area from being displayed separately. Therefore, when displaying document information according to the size of the designated display area, unique techniques such as ruby and warichu are displayed without being separated from specific character information, making it easy to read without discomfort Can be displayed.

In particular, when the base character and the lower case have an area of the same size, or when the area of the base character is large, the base character and the lower case can be treated as one area. When the area is large, it is difficult to treat the parent character and the small letter as one area. For example, in the case of "Emperor", the parent character is one character, but the lowercase letter is "Mikonori", and if this is treated as one area, the space between the "Emperor" and the characters before and after is greatly widened, making it very difficult to read It becomes a sentence. Even in such a case, by recognizing the parent character and the child character as separate areas and prohibiting the separation, the lowercase characters will be placed on the characters before and after the parent character, so that sentences that are easy to read without discomfort will be displayed. Becomes possible.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the character information arranged in the specific area is ruby parent character group information including at least one character and ruby lower case group information. 1 is a display system.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to display text information that is more readable by displaying ruby parent character group information composed of one or more characters and ruby lower case group information without separating them. Becomes possible. In particular, it is possible to display a more readable sentence when the ruby-touched parent characters are displayed separately. For example, if the base character is "Tokyo" and the lowercase letter is "Tokyo",
Line breaks occur before and after "Tokyo". Also, the base characters are "East", "Kyo" and "Miyako", and the lowercase letters are "To" and "Kyoto".
If separation is prohibited in correspondence with "and", line breaks can be made one character at a time. Which is easier to read depends on the relationship between the preceding and following sentences, but according to the present invention, it is possible to select and display the more readable one.

The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that the separation prohibition information has relative position information of a specific area where the ruby parent character group information is arranged and a specific area where the ruby small letter group information is arranged. The display system according to any one of claims 1 and 2.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since there is relative position information between the parent character and the child character, the relative position can be appropriately selected, and it is possible to display more readable text information. . In particular, when the lower case area is larger than the parent character, the relative position is selected from the center, line head, line end, and the like. Those which are most readable due to a plurality of factors such as vertical writing and horizontal writing are appropriately selected. Furthermore, when the idioms and ruby characters are dropped one by one, the combination of centering, line heading, and line ending alignment can make it easier to read.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a storage medium storing a display program for displaying document information having at least content information and format information, wherein at least area origin information, area width information, area length information, The format information including area information having area interval information, the content information having at least character information arranged in an area defined by the area information, and separation prohibition information prohibiting separation of specific areas. A reading portion for reading the document information, and a layout determining portion for determining the layout for each area information according to the separation prohibition information when determining the layout of the text information in accordance with the designated display area on the display means for displaying the document information. And a storage medium that stores a display program.

According to the invention described in claim 4, according to claim 1,
By determining the layout according to the separation prohibition information in the same way as in the invention of the above, when displaying the document information according to the size of the designated display area, unique techniques such as ruby and warichu are replaced by specific characters Since the information is displayed without being separated from the information, it is possible to display a text that is easy to read without a sense of incongruity.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the character information arranged in the specific area is ruby parent character group information including at least one character or more and ruby lower case group information. 4 is a storage medium storing the display program according to 4.

According to the invention described in claim 5, according to claim 2,
As in the invention described in (1), by displaying the ruby parent character group information including one or more characters and the ruby lowercase group information without separation, it becomes possible to display more readable text information.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the separation prohibition information includes relative position information of a specific area where the ruby parent character group information is arranged and a specific area where the ruby small letter group information is arranged. A storage medium storing the display program according to any one of claims 1 and 2.

According to the invention described in claim 6, according to claim 3,
In the same manner as in the invention described in (1), the presence of the relative position information of the parent character and the child character allows the relative position to be appropriately selected and makes it possible to display more readable text information.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing a display state of the present invention. In FIG. 2, 11 is an entire display area, 12 is a standard function toolbar portion, 13 is a custom function toolbar portion, 14 is a navigation portion, and 15 is a display area. In FIG. 2, an entire display area 11 shows the whole displayed by the display program, and has a standard function toolbar portion 12, a custom function toolbar portion 13, a navigation portion 14, and a display area 15.

The standard function toolbar portion 12 is disposed to be elongated in the left and right directions above the entire display area 11, and includes therein known programs such as "file", "edit / set", "display", "move", and "help". Contains instructions common to the concepts. Although these functions are generally indispensable, they are not always necessary when reading e-books or the like, or those who have learned the operation of the display program according to the present invention. It is.

The custom function toolbar portion 13 is arranged above and below the entire display area 11 and below the standard function toolbar portion 12 so as to spread left and right, and includes “return”, “forward”, “copy”, and “navigator”. Gate ”,“ Print ”
"Help" instruction is placed. These commands are necessary at any time when reading an electronic book, so they are wider than the standard function toolbar portion 12, and the command input portion also uses icons to simulate a pseudo switch to make it easier for the reader to use. .

In FIG. 2, the "back" and "forward" commands of the custom function toolbar portion 13 are extremely important commands when reading an electronic book with the same concept as a page of a paper medium book. In the case of an electronic book, information corresponding to one book can be skipped as one page, and there are many examples. However, books are one of the pleasures of taking a long time, thinking, understanding and reading, and pages are an important breakpoint for that. However, in the technique of shyness, sentences are often separated not by the concept of a page but by a content break, which is extremely difficult for the reader to enjoy. In the present invention. Incorporating the effect of page breaks in paper media, the concept of page information allows for the addition of page breaks other than content (for example, chapters).
There is a page in the content separated by a certain number of lines,
It is very readable. Then, "return" and "advance" are provided as instructions for turning the page information (displaying previous and next page information).

"Back" and "Forward" are on the left end side of the custom function toolbar portion 13, that is, the entire display area 1
1 and is arranged diagonally to a display area 15 described later. This arrangement is extremely effective when the text displayed in the display area 15 is written vertically. That is, when the text document displayed in the display area 15 is written vertically, the reader proceeds from right to left and from line to line from top to bottom. When reading the last line of the page information, the viewpoint of the reader is on the lower left side of the entire display area 11. Next, when the same operation as reading is performed, the viewpoint naturally shifts to the upper left of the entire display area 11. Therefore,
In the case where the text is written vertically, an instruction portion for displaying previous or next page information such as “return” or “advance” is displayed in the entire display area 11.
By adopting a configuration that is located at the top left of the reader, the reader will recognize the most natural instruction and the most frequently used instruction part, and without burdening the reader, a very readable display system It is possible to provide. Furthermore, when the instruction part for displaying the previous and next page information such as “return” and “forward” is arranged diagonally with the display area 15 for displaying the text document of the electronic document, or at the upper left of the display area 15 , The effect is even higher.

In FIG. 2, “copy”, “print”, and “help” in the custom function toolbar portion 13 are functions as displayed, but “navigate” is the navigation portion 1.
4 is an instruction portion for selecting display or non-display.

In FIG. 2, the arrow a indicates the entire display area 1.
1, and the arrow b indicates the length.
Since the size of the standard function toolbar part 12, the custom function toolbar part 13, and the navigation part 14 are constant,
The size of the display area 15 is proportional to the size of the entire display area 11, and when indicating the size of the display area 15, the width a and the length b of the entire display area 11 are determined by a known operation method such as a mouse. , The size of the display area 15 can be specified.

In FIG. 2, the navigating portion 14 is widely arranged vertically on the left side of the whole display area 11, and is effective when the text in the display area 15 is written vertically. That is, when the page is switched, a new reading is performed from the right side of the display area 15. At this time,
If the navigating part 14 is on the right side, it becomes necessary to find the first line of the body text, which makes it difficult to read. The navigating part 14 has a function of a table of contents as a division of contents, and by specifying the item, the display can be switched to the first page of the corresponding part. The navigating part 14 can be set as a window independent of the entire display area 11, and can be moved to an arbitrary position on the navigating part 14 display means. In that case, it is possible to provide a more readable display system by moving the navigating part 14 out of the way. Although the number is not particularly given, the display of the navigating portion 14 can be scrolled up, down, left and right by a known bar.

In FIG. 2, the display area 15 is largely arranged on the lower right side of the whole display area 11. The display area 15 is an area for displaying a text (not particularly numbered), and is displayed horizontally in FIG.
The display area 15 can be scrolled up, down, left, and right by a known bar (particularly without a number), and FIG. 2 shows an up and down scroll bar.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing a display state according to the present invention. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 21 denotes an entire display area, 22 denotes a standard function toolbar portion, 23 denotes a custom function toolbar portion, 24 denotes a navigation portion, and 25 denotes a display area. 3, an entire display area 21, a standard function toolbar section 12, a custom function toolbar section 13, a navigation section 14, and a display area 15 are the same as those in FIG. In FIG. 3, the length b is different from that in FIG. 2, and the display area 25 is narrower accordingly, so that the arrangement of the text is different from that in FIG.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing a display arrangement according to the present invention. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 30 denotes the entire screen of the display means;
Is the display area, 32 is the area, 33 is the area length, 34 is the area interval in the length direction, 35 is the area interval in the width direction, 36 is the area width, 37 is the origin of the entire screen of the display means, 38 is the display area , 39 is the area origin, 40 is the width of the display area,
41 is the length of the display area, 42 is the beginning of the line, and 43 is the end of the line. In FIG. 4, a display area 31 is displayed on the entire screen 30 of the display means.
2 are displayed in horizontal writing. The arrangement of the figure is the arrangement of a series of sentences without line breaks at the beginning and end of the line, and although this area 32 is not shown, it contains character information as content information. The head of the line and the end of the line are aligned by adjusting the character interval and the area interval in the length direction for each line.

In the arrangement determining means, the width of the display area is 4
By arranging with the area length 33 and the area width 36 of each area with respect to the size of the display area given by 0 and the length of the display area, and adjusting the area spacing 34 and the character spacing in the length direction, Line head 42 and line end 43 are aligned. When adjusting the character spacing, the region length 33 may be temporarily changed. The characters arranged in the area may be any one of a unit of one character, a unit of idioms, and a combination of a plurality of idioms, and are selected in a unit that is difficult to read when divided by a line feed. In the case of Japanese, the area spacing 34 and the character spacing in the length direction to be adjusted for leading and ending the line are similar, but there is little problem. That is, in Japanese, the length of one character is the same, and the area interval 34 and the character interval may be the same. However, in the case of English text, it is necessary to make a difference between the adjustment amount between the area interval 34 and the character interval.

The layout determining means determines the layout of the area (when the character spacing is adjusted, the length 33 of the area is changed).
, The coordinate value of each character in it is displayed as the origin 37 of the entire screen of the display means, the origin 38 of the display area, and the area origin 39.
Is determined by calculation. Thereby, the display area 31
Is determined according to the size of the text information. In the case of horizontal writing, the area interval 35 in the width direction is not changed in principle. In the case of vertical writing, contrary to horizontal writing, the line head 42 and the line end 43f are set up and down, and the area interval 35 and the character interval (the area width 36 is changed) in the width direction are adjusted.

As the format information, the illustrated area length 33,
In addition to the area interval 34 in the length direction, the area interval 35 in the width direction, and the area width 36, various pieces of character decoration information are included. For example, information such as underline, horizontal line, bold character, fine character, typeface, size (point), color, subscript, indentation, and character synthesis are included. Note that the alignment position shown by the head 42 and the end 43 of the line is also included in the format information.

FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing a separation prohibited area according to the present invention. FIG. 5A is a conceptual diagram showing a case where one line is displayed. FIG. 5B is a conceptual diagram showing a case where two lines are displayed. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 51 denotes an area in which ruby lowercase character group information is arranged; 52, an area in which ruby lowercase character group information is arranged; 53, an area in which ruby parent character group information is arranged; Area. Separation prohibition information is added to the area 51 and the area 53, and the area 52
And the area 54, separation prohibition information is added.

In FIG. 5A, a region 53 and a region 54 are shown.
Are displayed in one line, and the area 51 and the area 52 are also displayed as a series of ruby. In FIG. 5B,
The area 53 and the area 54 are displayed on two lines with line feeds.
The area 51 and the area 52 are also line-breaked, and are arranged and displayed at the corresponding positions of the area areas 53 and 54 where the separation is prohibited. For this reason, the lowercase ruby does not have an unnatural positional relationship with the ruby base character, and displays a readable sentence.

In FIG. 5, "Tokyo" and "Taito-ku"
Is one area as the ruby parent character. For example, "east", "kyo", "to", "dai", "east", and "ku" are the ruby parent characters for "to", "today", "to", "tai", and "to". The area corresponding to each of "" and "ku" may be prohibited from being separated by using a ruby lowercase letter. In this case, there is no problem with "east", "city", "dai", "east" and "ku" where the length of the ruby base character is longer than the length of the ruby lower case, but the length of the ruby base character is the length of the ruby lower case length The smaller "Kyo" has an unbalanced positional relationship. Therefore, the area length of the ruby parent character "K" is made longer than other characters, and a space is provided before and after to make it correspond to the ruby lowercase character "Kyo", or the relative position information of the ruby lowercase character "Kyo" is set to plural and the area selection described later The information causes a need to select a relative position.

It is also possible to use "Tokyo", "Tokyo", "Taito", and "Ku" as ruby parent characters, and to use "Tokyo", "To", "Taito", and "Ku" as lowercase ruby characters to prohibit separation of corresponding areas. In this case, the length of the ruby base character "Tokyo" is smaller than the lower case ruby "Tokyo", but the following ruby base character "To" is larger than the lower case ruby "to", so there is little effect on legibility. For example, it is possible to solve the problem by inserting a space between "East" and "K", and fixing the relative position of the ruby parent character "Tokyo" by centering the ruby lowercase character "Tokyo".

FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing a separation prohibited area according to the present invention. FIG. 6A is a conceptual diagram showing a case where the centers are aligned. FIG. 6B is a conceptual diagram showing the case where the alignment is performed. FIG. 6C is a conceptual diagram showing a case where the heads are aligned.
In FIG. 6, reference numeral 61 denotes a ruby lower case area, 62 denotes a ruby base character, 63 denotes a ruby lower case area, 64 denotes a ruby base character, 61 denotes a ruby lower case area, and 65 denotes a ruby base character. In FIG. 6, the relative positions of the ruby lowercase area 61 and the ruby base character area 62 are centered, the relative positions of the ruby lowercase area 62 and the ruby base character area 63 are aligned, and the relative positions of the ruby lowercase area 64 and the ruby base character area 65 are aligned. The position is head-aligned. As a method of fixing the positional relationship between the ruby parent character and the ruby lowercase letter, there is a method in which the ruby parent character and the ruby lowercase letter are combined into one area. Unnatural spaces open before and after characters, making them difficult to read. Therefore, in order to display an easy-to-read sentence, it is necessary to separate the ruby base character area and the ruby lower case area from each other, prohibit their separation, and allow the ruby lower case area to enter the characters before and after the ruby base character. is there.

In FIG. 6, the lowercase ruby "Mikoto Nori" is used.
The length of the region is much longer than the ruby parent character "Sho", and in order to display this as an easy-to-read sentence, it is cut into both or any of the characters "U" and "E" before and after it. Which relative position to select depends on the readability of the sentence, but if the ruby parent character is located in the middle of the line, it will be centered, if it is located at the end of the line, it will be justified; if it is located at the beginning of the line, it will be the beginning. The alignment is easy to read. The relative position between the ruby parent character and the ruby lowercase letter may be fixed, but in such a case, the text may be difficult to read depending on the position of the ruby parent character. Therefore, by including information “alignment priority information” in which the alignment information has priority over the relative position and changes the relative position as necessary, the relative position information is centered when positioned in the line, and positioned at the end of the line. In this case, the text can be displayed at the end of the line, and when it is positioned at the beginning of the line, the text can be displayed at the head of the line. Also, a configuration may be used in which a plurality of areas that differ only in the relative position information of the ruby lowercase letter “Mikonori” are prepared, and an area having an appropriate relative position in the line, at the end of the line, or at the beginning of the line is selected by the area selection information described later. good.

75 is a separated character group information area, 76 is the beginning of a line, and 77 is the end of a line. In FIG. 7 (a), a series of character group information group areas 72 are displayed in one line, and the character information includes an upper character group "Aioka Okikukukeko" and a lower character information group "Sashisusose Satsutsuto". . In the case of this display, it is easiest to read the case where the upper character group “AIUE OKAKI KUKEKO” is read first, and then the lower character information group “Sashisuse Soso Tatsuto” is read. In FIG. 7B, a warrior parent character 73 and a separated character group information area 74 are displayed in the upper row, a line feed is performed at the end of the line 77, and a separated character group information area 75 is displayed from the beginning of the line 76 in the lower row. Most readable. However, the separated character group information area 74 and the separated character group information area 75
Are different from the series character group information group area 72 in character arrangement. In this way, in order to display the warichu separately and to make it easier to read, it has a series character group information group area 72, a separation character group information area 74, and a separation character group information area 75. The group information group area 72 is displayed, and in the case of a line feed, selection is made such that the separated character group information area 74 and the separated character group information area 75 are displayed.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, separation prohibition information for prohibiting separation of specific areas from area information having area origin information, area width information, area length information, and area interval information. However, when the arrangement of the text information is determined according to the display area, the arrangement is determined according to the separation prohibition information, so that the specific area can be prevented from being displayed separately. Therefore, when displaying document information according to the size of the designated display area, unique techniques such as ruby and warichu are displayed without being separated from specific character information, making it easy to read without discomfort Can be displayed.

In particular, when the parent character and the lower case have an area of the same size, and when the area of the parent character is large, the parent character and the lower case can be treated as one area. When the area is large, it is difficult to treat the parent character and the small letter as one area. For example, in the case of "Emperor", the parent character is one character, but the lowercase letter is "Mikonori", and if this is treated as one area, the space between the "Emperor" and the characters before and after is greatly widened, making it very difficult to read It becomes a sentence. Even in such a case, by recognizing the parent character and the child character as separate areas and prohibiting the separation, the lowercase characters will be placed on the characters before and after the parent character, so that sentences that are easy to read without discomfort will be displayed. It is possible to achieve the effect of being able to carry out.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, by displaying the ruby parent character group information composed of one or more characters and the ruby lower case group information without separation, text information that is more readable is displayed. It is possible to achieve the effect of being able to carry out. In particular, it is possible to display a more readable sentence when the ruby-touched parent characters are displayed separately.
For example, if the parent character is the idiom “Tokyo” and the lowercase letter is “Tokyo”, the line feed is performed before and after “Tokyo”. If the parent characters are "East", "Kyo", and "To", and the lowercase characters are "To", "Today", and "To", and separation is prohibited, line breaks can be made one by one. Which is easier to read depends on the relationship between the preceding and following sentences, but according to the present invention, there is an operational effect that it is possible to select and display the more readable one.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the presence of the relative position information of the parent character and the child character allows the relative position to be appropriately selected and makes it possible to display more readable text information. This has the operational effect of: In particular, when the lower case area is larger than the parent character, the relative position is selected from the center, line head, line end, and the like. Those which are most readable due to a plurality of factors such as vertical writing and horizontal writing are appropriately selected. In addition, when rubbing down rubrics by idioms, one character at a time, centering, line-aligning,
There is an operational effect that it is possible to make it easier to read when the combination of line alignment is performed.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the first aspect is provided.
By determining the layout according to the separation prohibition information in the same way as in the invention of the above, when displaying the document information according to the size of the designated display area, unique techniques such as ruby and warichu are replaced by specific characters Since the information is displayed without being separated from the information, it is possible to display an easily readable sentence without a sense of incongruity.

According to the invention set forth in claim 5, claim 2 is provided.
In the same manner as the invention described in the above, by displaying the ruby parent character group information composed of one or more characters and the ruby lowercase group information without separation, it is possible to display more readable sentence information. It works.

According to the invention described in claim 6, according to claim 3,
In the same manner as the invention described in (1), the presence of the relative position information of the parent character and the child character has an effect that the relative position can be appropriately selected, and more readable text information can be displayed.
