Description

  The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus, a program, and a document processing method.

  Conventionally, a user creates document data in an information processing apparatus such as a PC (Personal Computer) or a mobile phone, and stores the created document data in the information processing apparatus. Here, the document data includes document data having different themes and document data having a common theme. Therefore, when creating new document data related to a certain subject, the user may desire to refer to previously created document data related to the subject.

In such a case, the user can refer to the document data created previously by, for example, the following method.
(1) Display previously created document data in a window different from the new document data creation window.
(2) Automatically inserts previously created document data before or after new document data in response to commands such as “add” to add text etc. to the document data and “reply” to received document data .

  Further, for example, Patent Document 1 describes a document generation method for generating a document by extracting agenda contents related to a certain item from accumulated minutes. Patent Document 1 describes that such a document generation method can generate a document that enables systematic browsing in accordance with the user's intention.

JP 2002-91945 A

  However, even if a document is generated from the previous document data stored in the information processing apparatus using the conventional document generation method, the method described in (1) or (2) above is not used. The user cannot refer to the document data created at the same time as the creation of new document data.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to present information related to previous document data to the user when the user creates new document data. Another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved document processing apparatus, program, and document processing method.

  In order to solve the above problem, according to an aspect of the present invention, a document storage unit storing one or more document data, an input unit for inputting a character string related to new document data, A search unit for searching for document data including at least a part of a character string input to the input unit among the one or more document data stored in the document storage unit, and the search unit Document processing comprising: a summarizing unit that creates a summary of the document data, and a display screen generating unit that generates a display screen including the new document data input screen and a screen showing the summary created by the summarizing unit An apparatus is provided.

  In such a configuration, the display screen generation unit generates a display screen including a screen showing a summary of previous document data regarding the new document data and an input screen for new document data. As a result, for example, the user can create new document data using the summary of the previous document data while summarizing the previous document data via the display screen.

  The document storage unit stores each of the one or more document data in association with the creation date of each of the one or more document data, and the summary unit stores the new document with the creation date and time. The summary may be created so that the summary amount based on the data is larger than the summary amount based on the document data with the old creation date and time. Here, it can be considered that document data with a new creation date / time has a stronger relationship with new document data to be created. Therefore, by making the summary amount based on the new document data of the creation date and time in the summary larger than that of the old document data, it is possible to place emphasis on the content that is considered to be important for creating new document data. The summary amount indicates the amount of summary.

  Among the document data searched by the search unit, the new document data is created next to the old document data, and the summarization unit has a summary amount based on the new document data in the old document data. The summary may be created to be greater than twice the summary amount based on it. In such a configuration, it is possible to secure more than half of the total amount of summaries included in the summaries of the document data with the latest creation date among the document data searched by the search unit.

  The summarizing unit, when creating the summary from the other paragraphs of the document data with the latest creation date, the final paragraph of the document data with the newest creation date among the document data searched by the search unit You may give priority. Here, the last paragraph of the document data may simply indicate the contents of the document data, such as a summary or general description of the document data. Therefore, by giving priority to the last paragraph of the document data with the latest creation date and time as described above, the contribution of the summary to the creation of new document data by the user can be improved.

  In the document processing apparatus, a pattern storage unit that stores a predetermined character pattern and a search pattern in association with each other, and a character string related to new document data input to the input unit is stored in the pattern storage unit. And a pattern detection unit for detecting whether or not the character pattern matches. Further, when a character pattern that matches a character string related to the new document data is detected by the pattern detection unit, the search unit includes the one or more document data stored in the document storage unit. Thus, document data matching the search pattern associated with the character pattern may be searched. In such a configuration, the pattern detection unit and the search unit cooperate to search automatically and appropriate document data based on a character string related to new document data input to the input unit.

  At this time, the search unit has a title of the document data that matches the search pattern associated with the character pattern among the one or more document data stored in the document storage unit. The document data may be searched. When searching for document data to be summarized, a document data search process can be speeded up by searching for document data that matches the search pattern only from the document data title.

  In order to solve the above problems, according to another aspect of the present invention, a document storage unit storing one or more document data, and an input unit for inputting a character string related to new document data A computer provided in a document processing apparatus comprising: document data including at least a part of a character string input to the input unit among the one or more document data stored in the document storage unit A display screen including a search unit for searching, a summary unit for creating a summary of document data searched by the search unit, an input screen for the new document data, and a screen showing a summary created by the summary unit A display screen generation unit to be generated and a program for functioning as a display screen generation unit are provided.

  Such a program can cause the hardware resources of a computer including, for example, a CPU, a ROM, or a RAM to execute the functions of the search unit, the summary unit, and the display screen generation unit as described above. That is, it is possible to cause a computer using the program to function as the above-described search unit, summary unit, and display screen generation unit.

  In order to solve the above problem, according to another aspect of the present invention, an input step for inputting a character string relating to new document data and a storage medium storing one or more document data are provided. A search step for searching for document data including at least a part of the character string input to the input unit, a creation step for creating a summary of the searched document data, an input screen for the new document data, and the Generating a display screen including a screen showing the summary created in the creating step.

  As described above, according to the document processing apparatus, program, and document processing method of the present invention, information related to previous document data can be presented to the user when the user creates new document data.

  Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, in this specification and drawing, about the component which has the substantially same function structure, duplication description is abbreviate | omitted by attaching | subjecting the same code | symbol.

<Configuration of document processing apparatus>
First, the document processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the document processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the document processing apparatus 1 includes a document creation auxiliary device 100 and a document creation device 200. Further, the document creation assisting apparatus 100 includes an input / output unit 110, a pattern detection unit 120, a search unit 130, a summarization unit 140, a pattern storage unit 150, and a document storage unit 160. Further, the document creation apparatus 200 includes a document input unit 210 and a document output unit 220. Although FIG. 1 shows an example in which the document creation assistance device 100 and the document creation device 200 are configured separately, the document creation assistance device 100 and the document creation device 200 may be configured integrally.

  The document creation device 200 is a device used when a user creates document data. Such a document creation device 200 is, for example, a PC, a home video processing device (DVD recorder, VCR, etc.), a mobile phone, a PHS (Personal Handyphone System), a portable music playback device, a portable video processing device, a PDA (Personal). (Digital Assistants), home game machines, portable game machines, home appliances, and other information processing apparatuses.

  The document input unit 210 receives document data input by the user, and outputs the document data input by the user to the document output unit 220 and the document creation assisting device 100. The document input unit 210 may include an operation unit including, for example, a touch panel, buttons, switches, levers, dials, a light receiving unit for infrared signals generated by a remote controller, and the like. A user of the document creation apparatus 200 can perform input operation of document data via the document input unit 210.

  The document output unit 220 functions as a display unit such as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display device, a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, and an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Display) device, and a display for generating a display screen to be displayed on the display unit. Includes functions as a screen generator. Although details will be described later with reference to FIG. 4, the document output unit 220 according to the present embodiment includes a new document data creation screen, a document data previously created and related to the new document data. A display screen including a screen showing the summary can be generated and displayed.

  The configuration of the document creation apparatus 200 has been schematically described above. Next, the configuration of the document creation assistance device 100 will be described.

  The input / output unit 110 of the document creation assisting apparatus 100 is an interface with the document creation apparatus 200 and functions as an input unit for inputting / outputting various data and an output unit. Examples of the various data include arbitrary data such as document data, a summary of document data, and a title of document data.

  The pattern detection unit 120 receives the title of the document data from the input / output unit 110 and determines whether there is a pattern corresponding to the title input from the input / output unit 110 among the patterns stored in the pattern storage unit 150. To detect. Here, with reference to FIG. 2, the pattern list memorize | stored in the pattern memory | storage part 150 is demonstrated concretely.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the pattern list stored in the pattern storage unit 150. As shown in FIG. 2, the pattern storage unit 150 stores a plurality of sets of match patterns 151 and search patterns 152.

  For example, the search pattern 152 “$ 1%” is associated with the match pattern 151 represented by the regular expression “(. *) ¥ s * that ¥ d +” and stored in the pattern storage unit 150. . Here, the part “(. *)” Of the match pattern 151 indicates an arbitrary character string, the part “¥ s *” indicates zero or more spaces, and the part “that” indicates the character “that”. The column “\ d +” indicates a number of one or more characters.

  Therefore, for example, in the character string “signboard production part 2”, “signboard production” corresponds to the part “(. *)”, The space corresponds to the part “¥ s *”, and “that”. The character string corresponds to the part “that”, and the number “2” corresponds to the part “¥ d +”. That is, the character string “signboard production 2” corresponds to the match pattern 151 “(. *) ¥ s * that ¥ d +”.

  The part “$ 1” of the search pattern 152 “$ 1%” indicates a character string corresponding to the part “(. *)” Of the match pattern 151, and the part “%” is an arbitrary character string. Indicates.

  For example, as described above, among the character strings “signboard production part 2” corresponding to the match pattern 151 “(. *) ¥ s * that ¥ d +”, the character string “signboard production” is the search pattern 152. This corresponds to the part “$ 1”. Therefore, the search pattern for the character string “signboard production 2” is “signboard production%”.

  Similarly, in FIG. 2, the search pattern 152 “% $ 1” is associated with the match pattern 151 “¥ d + times ¥ s * (. *)” And “(. *) ¥ s * ¥ ( A search pattern 152 of “$ 1 (%)” is associated with the match pattern 151 of “¥ d + ¥), and a search of“ $ 1% ”is performed on the match pattern 151 of“ (. *) ¥ s * ¥ d + story ”. An example in which a pattern 152 is associated is shown.

  Note that the pattern storage unit 150 storing such a pattern list includes a nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), a hard disk, and a disk type disk. Magnetic discs such as discs, CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable) / RW (ReWritable), DVD-R (Digital Versatile Disc Recordable) / RW / + R / + RW / RAM (Random Access MemoryDMB) (Registered trademark)) -R / BD-RE, etc. Optical disc and may also be a storage medium such as MO (Magneto-Optical) disk.

  Returning to the description of the configuration of the document creation assisting apparatus 100 with reference to FIG. 1, the pattern detection unit 120 searches the pattern storage unit 150 for a match pattern 151 corresponding to the title input from the input / output unit 110. . Then, the pattern detection unit 120 inserts a predetermined character string into the search pattern 152 associated with the match pattern 151 searched from the pattern storage unit 150 and adds it as a search target.

  For example, when the character string “signboard production part 2” is input from the input / output unit 110, the pattern detection unit 120 uses “(. *) ¥ s as a pattern corresponding to the character string“ signboard production part 2 ”. The matching pattern 151 “* d +” is searched. Then, the pattern detection unit 120 inserts the character string “signboard production” into the search pattern 152 “$ 1%” associated with the matching pattern 151 “(. *) ¥ s * that ¥ d +”. Add as search target.

  The search unit 130 searches the document storage unit 160 for document data having a title that matches the search pattern specified by the pattern detection unit 120. Here, the document data stored in the document storage unit 160 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of document data stored in the document storage unit 160. As shown in FIG. 3, the document storage unit 160 stores a plurality of sets of creation date / time 161, title 162, and text 163.

  For example, in FIG. 3, the creation date 161 of the document data whose title 162 is “Returned” is “09/01 09:00:00”, and the text 163 is “Returned to Tokyo.・ ・ 」Is shown as an example. Similarly, in FIG. 3, the document data whose title 162 is “Tohoku Travel Journal (4)”, the document data “Tohoku Travel Journal (3)”, the document data “Signboard Production No. 1”, and “ An example in which document data “signboard production 2” is recorded is shown.

  Note that the document storage unit 160 storing such document data is similar to the pattern storage unit 150, such as a nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM or an EPROM, a magnetic disk such as a hard disk and a disk-type magnetic disk, or a CD. -R / RW, DVD-R / RW / + R / + RW / RAM and BD (Blu-Ray Disc (registered trademark))-R / BD-RE and other storage media such as MO disks . 1 shows an example in which the pattern storage unit 150 and the document storage unit 160 are separately configured, the pattern storage unit 150 and the document storage unit 160 may be integrally configured. In addition, the document data stored in the document storage unit 160 may be document data created by a user of the document creation device 200 or document data created by another user. Document data created by other users and document data created by other users may be included.

  Returning to the description of the configuration of the document creation assisting apparatus 100 with reference to FIG. 1, the search unit 130 stores document data having a title 162 that matches the search pattern specified by the pattern detection unit 120. Search from.

  For example, when the search pattern “signboard production%” is specified by the pattern detection unit 120, among the document data stored in the document storage unit 160, the document data whose title 162 is “signboard production 1” Document data “signboard production 2” is retrieved.

  The summary unit 140 creates a summary of the document data searched by the search unit 130. For example, the summary unit 140 creates a summary so that the summary amount of each document data included in the summary is a ratio of the importance of each document data. The summary amount indicates the amount of summary, and is represented by, for example, the number of characters or the number of lines. For example, assume that the number of summary lines is defined as 10 lines, and 16 characters are displayed per line. At this time, when two pieces of document data having an importance ratio of 1: 2 are retrieved by the retrieval unit 130, the summarization unit 140 determines that the number of lines from one document data is 3.3 lines (10 × 1 / 3 lines), and a summary is created so that the number of lines from the other document data is about 6.7 lines (10 × 2/3 lines).

Here, it can be considered that document data with a new creation date / time has a stronger relationship with new document data to be created. Therefore, in order to optimize the summary for creating a continuation, the importance may be set higher for document data with a new creation date. For example, of the document data searched by the search unit 130, when the document data with the oldest creation date is 1, and the order counted from the older document data is N, the importance of each document data is 2 ^N You may make it express by. For example, when there are four document data items to be included in the summary, the summary of each document data is 2 / (2 ¹ +2 ² +2 ³ +2 ⁴ ) and 4 / (2 ¹ +2 ² +2 in order of creation date and time. Only ³ +2 ⁴ ), 8 / (2 ¹ +2 ² +2 ³ +2 ⁴ ), 16 / (2 ¹ +2 ² +2 ³ +2 ⁴ ) are displayed.

  Therefore, in such a configuration, the number of characters of the document data with the latest creation date among the document data searched by the search unit 130 can be secured more than half of the total number of characters included in the summary. As a result, the contribution of the summary when the user creates new document data can be improved. According to the above configuration, for example, when the document data “signboard production part 1” shown in FIG. 3 is updated afterwards, the importance of “signboard production part 2” is lower than “signboard production part 1”. . This is because the content of the most recently created document data is considered to contribute greatly to the creation of new document data.

  The summarizing unit 140 creates summaries of document data in the order of creation date and time, and creates summaries of all document data by combining summaries of document data. Strictly speaking, the summary of each document data may be less than or more than the number of characters assigned to each document data by the above method. As a result, when the sum of the number of characters of each summary that has been created exceeds the specified amount or the creation of the summaries of all the document data is finished, the summarizing unit 140 combines the summaries for each document data in the order of the creation date and time. Create a summary of document data. A method for creating a summary for each document data will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The summary created by the summary unit 140 is output to the document creation device 200 via the input / output unit 110. The document output unit 220 of the document creation apparatus 200 generates and displays a new document data creation screen and a display screen including a summary screen based on the summary input from the document creation assisting device 100. The display screens displayed on the document output unit 220 in this way are, for example, FIGS. 5A to 5C, and details of each screen will be described later.

  The configuration of the document processing apparatus 1 including the document creation assistance apparatus 100 and the document creation apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment has been described above. Subsequently, a document processing method executed in the document processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

<Document processing method>
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the document processing method executed in the document processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 4, in order to clarify the main points of the present embodiment, input validity check, sanitizing (a process of extracting a specific character string from input data and replacing it with another character string), and notation Descriptions regarding processing such as fluctuation countermeasures are omitted.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4, the user inputs a new document data title to the document input unit 210 (S100). The document data title input screen 222 includes, for example, a title input frame 231 and an OK button 232 as shown in FIG. 5A.

  When a character string is input to the title input frame 231 on the title input screen 222 and the OK button 232 is selected, the character string input to the title input frame 231 is output to the pattern detection unit 120 of the document creation assisting apparatus 100. The Then, through a process described later, the pattern detection unit 120 specifies a search pattern from the input character string, and the search unit 130 searches the document storage unit 150 for document data having a title that matches the specified search pattern. The summary unit 140 creates a summary from the document data searched by the search unit 130.

  For example, in step S100, the document output unit 220 displays the title input screen 222 shown in FIG. 5A, and a title is input to the title input frame 231. Here, it is assumed that “signboard production 3” is input to the title input frame 231.

  Next, in steps S102 to S106, the pattern detection unit 120 retrieves the match pattern 151 stored in the pattern storage unit 150, and checks whether each match pattern 151 matches the input title. Then, the pattern detection unit 120 records the search pattern 152 associated with the match pattern 151 that matches the input title. For example, since “signboard production 3” matches the match pattern 151 “(. *) ¥ s * that ¥ d +” shown in FIG. 2, “signboard production” is added to the search pattern 152 “$ 1%”. The applied “signboard production%” is recorded.

  Further, the search unit 130 searches the document storage unit 160 for document data whose title matches at least one of the search patterns recorded in S102 to S106 (S108). For example, the search pattern “signboard production%” matches “signboard production 1” and “signboard production 2” shown in FIG. If there is no search pattern recorded in steps S102 to S106, it is handled that there is no matching document data.

  Thereafter, when one or more document data are retrieved by the retrieval unit 130 (S110), the summarization unit 140 sorts the retrieved document data in order of the creation date and time (S112). For example, the summary unit 140 sorts the document data retrieved by the retrieval unit 130 in the order of “signboard production 1” and “signboard production 2” based on the creation date.

  Next, the summarizing unit 140 automatically summarizes the document data sorted in S112 (S114). As an automatic translation method, for example, the following method can be used.

  First, the summarizing unit 140 calculates a score for each sentence constituting certain document data. For example, a score is assigned to each morpheme in advance, and the summary unit 140 performs a morpheme analysis of each sentence, and calculates a sum of scores of morphemes constituting each sentence as a score of each sentence. Specifically, when there is a high possibility that a sentence containing the morpheme indicates a general content, such as morphemes such as “above” or “summary”, a high score is assigned to the morpheme. May be.

  Then, the summarizing unit 140 may multiply the score of each sentence by the importance of the document data, and extract a sentence with a high multiplication value as a summary of each sentence. In this case, basically, since the multiplication value is proportional to the score of each sentence, it does not seem to be meaningful to multiply the importance of the document data. However, the last paragraph of the document data may simply indicate the contents of the document data, such as a summary of the document data or an overview. Therefore, it is meaningful to multiply the importance of the document data by adding, for example, “1” only to the importance of the last paragraph of the document data with the latest creation date.

  For example, if the number of document data searched by the search unit 130 is two, the ratio of the importance of the last paragraph in the document data with the latest creation date and the importance of other paragraphs is 4: 5, and the final The importance of a paragraph is 1.25 times that of other paragraphs. On the other hand, if the number of document data searched by the search unit 130 is 10, the ratio of the importance of the last paragraph of the document data with the newest creation date and the importance of other paragraphs is 1025: 1024, The importance is almost the same as other paragraphs. However, if the document lasts for a long time, emphasizing only the last paragraph of the document data with the most recent creation date and time will not necessarily be effective, and it is considered that there is no problem in creating a more effective summary.

  Thus, when the summary of each document data is created, the summary unit 140 creates a summary by combining, for example, the summary of each document data. The summary creation process will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a flow in which a summary is created by the summary unit 140. In FIG. 6, the document data 163a “I decided to make a signboard for salon part 1 ...” and “I was worried about how to transfer the signboard part 2 design to the board ...” An example in which a summary 165 is created from the document data 163b is shown.

  The document data 163a includes a sentence 164a of "300 × 600T9 Merck ... purchased ... cut", and the document data 163b is "transfer the design to the board .... transcribed .... It includes a document 164b "Trace complete". For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the summarizing unit 140 extracts the sentence 164a as an excerpt of the document data “signboard production 1” 163a, and extracts the sentence 164b as an excerpt of the document data “signboard production 2” 163b. The summary 165 can be created by combining the sentences 164a and 164b.

  Here, in the sentences 163b and 164b extracted from the document data 163a and 164a, as described above, the number of characters of each document data included in the summary 165 becomes the ratio of the importance of each document data by the summary unit 140. Created as The summarizing unit 140 creates a summary of all document data by combining the summaries for each document data in the order of creation date and time.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5C, the document output unit 220 displays a summary display screen 235 showing the summary created by the summary unit 140 together with a new document data input screen 233 (S116). FIG. 5C is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a document data creation screen 224 displayed on the document output unit 220 when a summary is created by the summary unit 140. The document data creation screen 224 shown in FIG. 5C includes a summary input screen 235 in addition to a title input frame 231, a text input screen 233, and a creation button 234.

  The user can utilize the contents of the summary up to the previous time by referring to the summary display screen 235 when inputting the text of new document data. In addition, the summary display screen 235 according to the present embodiment can display the body text input screen 233 and the summary display screen 235 in the same window, so that it is more convenient for the user than when each is displayed in a plurality of windows. Be improved.

  On the other hand, when one or more pieces of document data are not searched by the search unit 130 (S110), the summary unit 140 cannot create a summary. Accordingly, the document output unit 220 displays a document data creation screen 224 that does not include the summary display screen 235, for example, as shown in FIG. 5B (S118).

  FIG. 5B is an explanatory diagram showing a document data creation screen 224 displayed on the document output unit 220 when the summary is not created by the summary unit 140. The document data creation screen 224 shown in FIG. 5B includes a title input frame 231, a text input screen 233, and a creation button 234. The text input screen 233 functions as an input screen for inputting the text of new document data. When the creation button 234 is selected, the title input in the title input frame 231 and the text input in the text input screen 233 are confirmed. The confirmed title and text are recorded in the storage medium built in the document creation apparatus 200 or the document storage unit 160 of the document creation assisting apparatus 100 in association with the creation date and time that matches the confirmed date and time.

  Note that step S118 may also be performed when the pattern detection unit 120 cannot identify the search pattern from the input character string.

  The image processing method according to the present embodiment has been described above. According to the present embodiment, the document output unit 220 generates a document data creation screen 224 including a summary display screen 235 that shows a summary of previous document data regarding new document data and a new document data input screen 233. . As a result, for example, the user can create new document data by using the summary of the previous document data while referring to the summary of the previous document data via the document data creation screen 224. .
