Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus and a storage medium in which a document processing program is stored. More specifically, when a fixed-form document is created, different contents of a predetermined item are different for each document. The present invention relates to a document processing device that can be easily input, and a storage medium that stores a document processing program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in document processing using a document processing device and a storage medium in which a document processing program is stored, when creating minutes, invoices, greeting cards, action schedules, etc. A template in which portions other than the different contents are created in advance is stored and saved, and different contents for each document are written and arranged in the template by input from a keyboard or the like, thereby completing a fixed-form document in a predetermined format. Have been done. Templates include, for example, date and time, venue,
A part of the contents that need to be input (written contents) such as an attendee is blank, or is a specific character such as *, or an example of the written contents is embedded.
Then, at the time of creating a standard document, the template is displayed on the display device, and the cursor is moved to a position where the content to be written is input using a mouse, an arrow key, or the like, and the content to be written of the corresponding item is input. As a result, a fixed form document is created in which the content corresponding to that time is embedded in the predetermined item of the template. Such a fixed form document creation process,
It is widely used because it makes good use of the easiness of editing of a document processing apparatus and can easily create a fixed-form document having a complicated layout.

[0003]

However, in such a standard document creation process according to the prior art, it is necessary to move the cursor to a position where the contents to be written are input using a mouse, arrow keys, or the like. It takes. In addition, there is a case where a template or the like cannot be displayed on one screen, and it takes time and effort to scroll the screen at the time of input or at the time of confirmation after the input. I have.

In recent years, as a technique for facilitating document creation, a technique has been proposed in which a voice input means such as a microphone and a voice recognition function are provided and a document input or key operation is performed according to voice input. When creating a fixed form document using such a voice recognition function, for example, a voice for moving a cursor such as “next” is input to move each item to each item, and each item is moved to another item. In the place, the written content corresponding to the item can be input by voice.
In addition, a technology has been proposed in which each item such as “date” and “participant” is input by voice so that a cursor is moved to a position where the written content of this item is input, and the written content is input. . When such a voice recognition function is used, the number of mouse and key operations for moving the cursor and inputting the written contents is reduced, and the creation of a standard document is facilitated.

However, the use of such a voice recognition function does not eliminate the trouble of moving the cursor to the position where the contents to be written is input, or the trouble of scrolling the screen for input and confirmation. In particular, when there are many contents to be written, it is necessary to input a voice for moving the cursor, such as a corresponding item name, for each content to be written, which is a great deal of trouble. Therefore, a technique for further facilitating the input of the contents of each item in a standard document is desired.

These templates are so-called sample forms in which layout of items such as character arrangement, size, color, date and time is determined, and write contents of predetermined items such as date and time and amount of money are written in predetermined portions of the template. By arranging, a fixed form document of a predetermined format is completed. For the contents to be written, the arrangement, the size and color of the characters, the type of font, etc. are stored as data.In the standard document creation process, after searching for the written contents corresponding to predetermined items from the information source document,
These written contents are arranged at predetermined positions of a designated template according to the above-mentioned data. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a weekly schedule template as an example of the template. As shown in FIG. 3, in the template of the weekly schedule, the time T, schedule contents P and other contents M accompanying the schedule are embedded for each date D, and the weekly schedule is completed as a standard document. It is supposed to be. Therefore, in order to create a weekly schedule from this template, it is necessary to acquire the written contents for each item of date, time, scheduled contents, and other contents. In addition, when a day is stored for one week, the other date is automatically stored. When the schedule content is entered for another date, the date is arranged in another content. Functions as an item for specifying a location. The template of the weekly schedule shown in FIG. 3 is in the form of a table. In addition to the tabular form, the templates include those in the form of documents such as minutes and invoices, and those in the form of presentations (slides). include.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing the contents of the template-item correspondence table stored in the item table storage section 167. As shown in FIG. 4, the item table storage unit 167 stores the name of each template and, for each template, the items of the write contents that are acquired from the information source document document and arranged in the template when creating a standard document. Item names and whether or not these items are indispensable to create the standard document (in the figure, ■
Indicates a required item, and □ indicates an optional item that can complete a standard document without this item. ) Are stored corresponding to each template. For example, when creating a standard document from the template of the weekly activity schedule (or adding written content to the already created standard document), information on the date, time, and schedule contents is necessary, and the microphone 15 It is necessary to create an information source document including these written contents in voice input from the user and subsequent correction. In addition, since the information of importance, confidentiality, and others are arbitrary writing contents, even if such information is not included in the information source document, the weekly activity schedule is created or updated. When such information is included in the document, the information is included in the weekly action schedule, which is a standard document.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing an item-keyword correspondence dictionary stored in the keyword storage section 168. As shown in FIG. 5, in the keyword storage unit 168, the contents to be written in the template are generically indicated regardless of the created fixed form document as the items including the item name and one or more concepts. The correspondence is represented. In addition, one or more corresponding keywords are stored for each concept of each item name. This keyword is
This is a character string that is used when searching for the written content corresponding to each item name to be arranged at a predetermined location in the template from the information source document obtained by input from the operator. For example, in the source document, the keyword "
If the character string "in OO", "in OO", or "in OO" is included, this character string indicates the location (corresponding to the item name "location") Will be included. In addition, the keyword “** month ** day (*
If * is a one- or two-digit number), this part contains the written content indicating the date (corresponding to the item name “date”), If there is a character string "* is a one-digit or two-digit number" by * month ** day, it indicates that this part includes the expiration date.

The concept is that, when a fixed form document is created based on a template, the contents to be written to a predetermined portion of the template are generically indicated regardless of the fixed form document to be created. The name is In the present embodiment, the item names are displayed on an input screen 141, which will be described later, and are referred to by the operator during voice input. On the other hand, the concept is used to determine whether the detected writing content matches the template. That is, when the item name is "place", the concept is the room name if the scheduled content is a meeting, the organization name or the place name if the destination is a business trip. Also, the same item name is a type for distinguishing between appropriate and non-applicable contents in the template. The concept of the character string searched according to the keyword is determined based on natural language processing, classification based on a kana-kanji conversion dictionary stored in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary storage unit 161, or the like. If the concept of the detected character string is not included in the concept corresponding to the item name in the item-keyword correspondence dictionary, the input and detected content is basically used as the content to be written in the item of the template to be used. Is not suitable for For example, if the name of the person and the park “Taro Suzuki Park” is detected as the content to be written as the meeting place, it is usually highly likely that this is an input error. Therefore, the input content is displayed so as to be identifiable with the content included in the concept corresponding to the item name in the item-keyword correspondence dictionary to call attention of the operator. However, in reality, a park with such a name may be newly constructed. In the present embodiment, in such a case, unless the operator corrects the input content, the written content is held as it is.
