Description

  The present invention relates to a document file editing method for editing a document file on a screen in a touch panel operation type portable terminal.

The touch panel operation type portable terminal directly selects and operates the display screen with a dedicated touch pen or a finger without using an external device such as a keyboard and a mouse.
These days, notebook-sized tablet PCs that have wireless LAN communication functions from small terminals represented by so-called smartphones, and can be customized by various applications such as browsing pages on the Internet, document viewers, and various games. A wide variety of terminals are spreading.

  In the case of the touch panel operation method, unlike a general notebook PC, the screen operation is performed by selecting the screen directly with a finger or a dedicated touch pen without connecting an external operation device such as a keyboard and a mouse. It is suitable for browsing Internet pages, mainly game operations such as clicks, drag and drop, and game screens. However, tasks such as text input, drawing, and document editing are compared with keyboards and mice. Then it is difficult to do.

In particular, in the case of a small mobile terminal, the screen is smaller than that of a general PC. Therefore, when multiple windows are displayed using the multi-window method, it is difficult to visually recognize the display contents of each window. Therefore, the multi-window method cannot be adopted.
Therefore, the operation on the screen is limited to the range closed within the screen, and the operation content cannot be taken over between other screens.

In addition, on a small mobile terminal, when the document configuration pages consisting of multiple pages are displayed together on one screen, if the display size of each page is too small, the display contents of the page can be grasped. Therefore, the number of pages that can be displayed on the screen is limited to a predetermined number.
Further, as described above, since operations on the screen are limited to a closed range within the screen, when a document page replacement operation is performed, it is possible only within the range within the display screen.
Specifically, for example, when there are documents such as presentation materials of 10 pages in total and the number of pages that can be displayed on one screen of the mobile terminal is 4, 3 screens are required to view all the pages. Display area is required, the first screen displays the first to fourth pages, the second screen displays the fifth to eighth pages, and the third screen displays the ninth and tenth pages.
When browsing these pages, it is necessary to page through the three screens by means such as scrolling.
As shown above, in work such as document editing, it was not possible to take over between a plurality of screens. For example, if the first page and the fourth page are switched, it is possible within the first screen. When editing to insert the first page between the eighth page and the seventh page, the screen is switched with the first page selected, and the second screen displaying the seventh and eighth pages. It is necessary to switch to.
However, since the selection state of the first page cannot be inherited between other screens, such a small portable terminal cannot perform such an editing operation across a plurality of screens.
