The processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 17 is performed using information of the font package 12b stored in the memory 12.

  The operation of the information processing apparatus 10 will be described below with reference to FIG.

  First, in step S901, the processing unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 inputs the text data 1000 illustrated in FIG. The information processing apparatus 10 receives text data via the network N using, for example, the communication unit 15. Further, the information processing apparatus 10 may input text data using the input interface 14. Furthermore, the information processing apparatus 10 may input sentence data by reading the sentence data stored in the storage medium 12c.

  The character code arrangement data 1001 of the text data 1000 shown in FIG. 10 has one chapter (first chapter), and this chapter has one paragraph (first paragraph). The modification data 1002 of the sentence data 1000 includes modification information such as a font, a character size, and a color when the character code included in the character code arrangement data 1001 is displayed as a character. The character code arrangement data 1001 is given as HTML information, and the modification data 1002 is given as CSS information.

  Next, in step S903, the layout data generation unit 11a of the processing unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 generates layout data 1110 as shown in FIG. 11 based on the chapter arrangement information included in the text data 1000. . The layout data 1110 has chapter 1 placement information included in the character code placement data 1001 of the text data 1000. The layout data generation unit 11a generates layout data having arrangement information of a plurality of chapters when the text data has a plurality of chapters. The arrangement information of a plurality of chapters includes, for example, the order in which each chapter is arranged and the group direction.

  The layout data generation unit 11a determines the arrangement information of the character code enclosed in the <body> tag included in the text code arrangement data 1001 as one chapter, and generates the layout data 1110 having the arrangement information of one chapter. To do. In FIG. 11, the data or table displayed by the chain line is not yet generated at this stage.

  Next, the processing from step S905 to step S919 is performed for all chapters included in the text data. In the present embodiment, since the sentence data 1000 has only one chapter, the processing from step S905 to step S919 is performed only once.

  First, in step S907, the container data generation unit 11b of the processing unit 11 determines, based on the arrangement information of one or more paragraphs included in each chapter of the sentence data, one or more included in the chapter. Container data having paragraph arrangement information is generated. As the arrangement information of a plurality of paragraphs, for example, the order in which each paragraph is arranged and the direction of the combination are listed.

  In the present embodiment, since the first chapter of the sentence code arrangement data 1001 includes one paragraph (first paragraph), the container data generation unit 11b performs the first paragraph included in the first chapter with respect to the first chapter. Is generated in the layout data 1110. Hereinafter, the container data is also simply referred to as a container.

  Specifically, the container data generation unit 11b sets the character code arrangement information enclosed by the <div> tag or the <p> tag as the first paragraph for the first chapter included in the sentence code arrangement data 1001. Determination is made to generate container data 1 having the arrangement information of the first paragraph. When the first chapter included in the sentence code arrangement data 1001 has a plurality of paragraphs, the container data generation unit 11b generates container data having arrangement information of the plurality of paragraphs.

  Here, when another <div> tag or <p> tag is arranged immediately below the <div> tag or <p> tag, the container data generation unit 11b regards the paragraph as one paragraph. Determine placement information. Thereby, an unnecessary nested structure can be prevented from being generated in the data structure.

  The container data generation unit 11b then displays the container size (minimum width, maximum width, minimum height) when the character code enclosed by the <body> tag of the text code arrangement data 1001 is displayed based on the modification data 1002. , The maximum height), etc., is registered in the container size information table 1111 in association with identification information (for example, container data 1) for identifying the container data, and the container size information table 1111 is included in the layout data 1110. Place.

  Next, in step S909, the block data generation unit 11c of the processing unit 11 uses, for each of one or more paragraphs included in each chapter of the sentence data, the arrangement information of one or more character codes included in the paragraph. Based on this, block data having arrangement information of one or more character codes is generated. As the arrangement information of a plurality of character codes, for example, the order in which each character code is arranged and the composition direction can be mentioned.

  In the present embodiment, the block data generation unit 11c uses the one or more pieces of the first paragraph included in the first chapter of the sentence code arrangement data 1001 based on the arrangement information of the plurality of character codes included in the first paragraph. Block data 1 having character code arrangement information is generated in the container data 1. Hereinafter, the block data is also simply referred to as a block.

  The block data generation unit 11c determines the order in which the character codes are arranged in the block 1 based on the order of the character codes enclosed in the <p> tag of the sentence code arrangement data 1001.

  In addition, the block data generation unit 11c refers to the modification data 1002 and acquires the set direction (vertical writing, horizontal writing) of the character code enclosed by the <p> tag of the sentence code arrangement data 1001. Note that the modification data 1002 may define the set direction of the character code enclosed by the <body> tag. In this case, the set direction of the character code surrounded by the <p> tag arranged in the <body> tag is defined by the set direction of the character code surrounded by the <body> tag.

  Then, the block data generation unit 11c determines arrangement information in which the character code is arranged in the block 1 based on the order of the acquired character code and the composition direction (vertical writing, horizontal writing). In the present embodiment, the character code is arranged in the block 1 in vertical writing.

  FIG. 12A is a diagram showing the block 1 generated in the container 1. FIG. 12B is a diagram showing the block 1 in which the character code in the block 1 is indicated by a character identified by the character code for easy understanding of the description.

  The block data generation unit 11c generates the container 2 for the character code of the parent character and the character codes 1 to 6 of the ruby character included in the first paragraph included in the first chapter of the sentence code arrangement data 1001. Specifically, the block data generation unit 11c generates the container 2 in which the character codes 1 to 6 surrounded by the <ruby> tag of the sentence code arrangement data 1001 are arranged.

  Then, the block data generation unit 11c arranges the container 2 immediately before the character code 7, arranges the remaining character codes 8 to 20 after the character code 7, and writes the character code vertically in this order. The block 1 having the placement information placed in is generated.

  The container 2 has the arrangement information of the character codes 5 and 6 of the parent characters and the character codes 1 to 4 of the ruby characters, but at this stage, it does not yet have such arrangement information. The arrangement information included in the container 2 is generated in step S911 described later.

  Then, the block data generation unit 11c, based on the modification data 1002, the top / bottom / left / right margin, the top / bottom / left / right padding, and the uniform alignment when the character code enclosed by the <p> tag of the text code arrangement data 1001 is displayed. Alternatively, information relating to line-by-line character arrangement alignment, such as center alignment, is acquired, and is associated with identification information (for example, block data 1) for identifying block data, and is registered in the block size information table 1112 to obtain layout data 1110. The block size information table 1112 is arranged in the inside.

  In addition, the block data generation unit 11c, based on the modification data 1002, determines the character size when the character code enclosed in the <p> tag of the text code arrangement data 1001 is displayed, the superscript or subscript of the character, etc. Information on the arrangement of character units, etc. is acquired, registered in the object size information table 1113 in association with identification information (for example, character code 1, character code 2) for identifying the character code, and the object size is stored in the layout data 1110. An information table 1113 is arranged. In this way, the block data generation unit 11c generates character modification data having character modification information associated with the character code for each of the plurality of character codes included in the text data.

  Further, the block data generation unit 11c obtains information on the character enclosure, underline, background color, and the like when the character code enclosed in the <p> tag of the sentence code arrangement data 1001 is displayed based on the modification data 1002. The ruled line table 1131 is arranged in the style data 1130 by acquiring and registering it in the ruled line table 1131 in association with identification information for identifying block data (for example, block data 1).

  Further, the block data generation unit 11c, based on the modification data 1002, character color when the character code enclosed by the <p> tag of the text code arrangement data 1001 is displayed, presence / absence of a mark, character decoration, etc. The information about the character code is acquired, is associated with identification information for identifying the character code (for example, character code 1, character code 2), is registered in the style information table 1132, and the style information table 1132 is arranged in the style data 1130.

  Next, in step S911, the container data generation unit 11b of the processing unit 11 performs parent character and ruby character processing. Specifically, the container data generation unit 11b includes the character code arrangement information of the parent character when the consecutively arranged character codes included in the sentence data have a relationship between the parent character and the ruby character. 1 block data and second block data having arrangement information of the character code of ruby characters are generated, the positional relationship between the first block data and the second block data is determined, and the first block data And container data having the arrangement information of the second block data.

  More specifically, the container data generation unit 11b determines that the six character codes arranged in succession surrounded by <ruby> tags in the sentence code arrangement data 1001 have a relationship between the parent character and the ruby character. . The container data generation unit 11b determines the character code enclosed by the <rt> tag as a ruby character from among the six character codes arranged consecutively enclosed by the <ruby> tag, and the character code that is not so Is determined as the parent character.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13A, the container data generation unit 11b includes a block 2 having arrangement information of ruby character code 1 to 4 and a block having arrangement information of character codes 5 and 6 of the parent character. 3 is generated. Here, the character codes 1 to 4 of the ruby characters correspond to “Wa”, “ga”, “ha”, “i”, and the character codes 5 and 6 of the parent characters are “吾”, “m”. Correspond. FIG. 13B is a diagram illustrating the blocks 2 and 3 in which the character codes in the blocks 2 and 3 are represented by characters identified by the character codes for easy understanding.

  The container data generation unit 11b then arranges the block data 2 having the arrangement information of the ruby character codes 1 to 4 on the right side of the block data 3 having the arrangement information of the character codes 5 and 6 of the parent character. Then, the positional relationship between the block data 2 and the block data 3 is determined.

  Then, the container data generation unit 11b replaces the container data having the arrangement information of the block data 2 and the block data 3 with the container data 2 described above.

  When the text data includes a plurality of <ruby> tags, the container data generation unit 11b executes the above-described parent character and ruby character processing for each of the plurality of <ruby> tags.

  Further, the container data generation unit 11b refers to the modification data 1002, acquires the character size of the character code (ruby character code) enclosed in the <rt> tag, and divides the character code of the parent character by two. And stored in the memory 12 in association with the identification information for identifying the character code. The character size of the changed ruby character code is used when obtaining the character image size of the ruby character code in step S1703, which will be described later.

  The container data generation unit 11b executes the same processing as the above-described parent character and ruby character processing even when the document data has horizontal and middle characters.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the processing of the container data generation unit 11b when the document data has horizontal and middle characters.

  When the document data has horizontal horizontal characters, the container data generation unit 11b generates the blocks 10 and 11 having the arrangement information of the character code of the horizontal middle characters, and the container 10 and the block 11 having the arrangement information of the block 10 A container 11 having arrangement information is generated. The container data generation unit 11b arranges the container 10 before the character code “month”, arranges the container 11 between the character code “month” and the character code “day”, and arranges these arrangements. A block 12 having information is generated. Note that the text data 1000 does not have horizontal horizontal characters, so in the present embodiment, processing of horizontal horizontal characters is not performed.

  Next, in step S913, the block data generation unit 11c of the processing unit 11 executes a division prohibited character process. Specifically, the block data generation unit 11c divides the character code included in the text data from the character code located immediately before or after the character code and is prohibited from being displayed as a character. If it is a character code, block data having arrangement information of the character code and the character code located immediately before or after the character code is generated.

  The character codes that cannot be divided include the character codes of prohibited characters that cannot be placed at the beginning of a line such as “,”, “?”, “.”, “” ”,“) ”. Characters are prohibited from being displayed separately from the immediately preceding character, and character codes that are prohibited from being divided are prohibited from being placed at the end of lines such as "" "or" (". Contains the character code of the end-of-line prohibited character, which is prohibited from being displayed separately from the character immediately after it.

  More specifically, the block data generation unit 11c first determines whether or not the sentence code arrangement data 1001 includes a character code that cannot be divided.

  Then, the block data generation unit 11c, when the character code included in the sentence data is a character code of a forbidden character that is prohibited from being displayed separately from the character code positioned immediately before the character code, Block data having arrangement information of the character code and the character code located immediately before the character code is generated.

  As shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the block data generation unit 11c causes the character code 12 when the character code 12 included in the sentence code arrangement data 1001 is a forbidden character. And a block 4 having arrangement information with the character code 11 positioned immediately before the character code. In FIG. 15A, for easy understanding of the description, the character code in the block shown in FIG. 15B is indicated by a character identified by the character code.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the block data generation unit 11c causes the character code 20 included in the sentence code arrangement data 1001 to be a character when the character is a forbidden character. A block 5 having arrangement information of the code 20 and the character code 19 positioned immediately before the character code is generated.

  Then, the container data generation unit 11 b generates the container 3 having the arrangement information of the block 4 and arranges the container 3 in the block 1 so as to be positioned between the character code 10 and the character code 13. In addition, the container data generation unit 11 b generates the container 4 having the arrangement information of the block 5 and arranges the container 4 in the block 1 so that the container 4 is positioned behind the character code 18. Thereby, it is avoided that the block 4 and the block 5 are arranged immediately below the block 1.

  Further, the block data generation unit 11c, when the character code included in the text data is a line ending prohibited character that is prohibited from being displayed separately from the character code positioned immediately after the character code, Then, block data having arrangement information with the character code located immediately after the character code is generated. Note that when the block data generation unit 11c determines that the text code arrangement data 1001 does not include a character code that cannot be divided, the division-prohibited character processing is not executed.

  Next, in step S915, the block data generation unit 11c of the processing unit 11 executes a European character process. The block data generation unit 11c first determines whether or not a plurality of European character codes arranged continuously in the sentence data are included. In the processing of the text data 1000 according to the present embodiment, the container data generation unit 11b determines that a plurality of European character codes arranged continuously in the text data are not included.

  Here, using the example shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the Western character processing will be described below.

  In the example shown in FIG. 16A, the block 20 is generated based on the text data. The block 20 includes a character code “I”, a single-byte space, and four consecutive character codes “h”, “a”, “v”, “e”, a single-byte space, and a character code “a”. Has three character codes “p”, “e”, and “n”. In FIG. 16A and FIG. 16B, for easy understanding of the description, the character code is indicated by a character identified by the character code.

  The block data generation unit 11c, when the text data includes a plurality of continuous character codes arranged in the text data, the block data generation unit 11c, based on the arrangement information of the continuous plurality of European character codes, Block data having code arrangement information is generated. The arrangement information of a plurality of European character codes includes, for example, the order in which the character codes are arranged and the composition direction.

  As shown in FIG. 16B, the block data generation unit 11c generates a block 21 having arrangement information of four consecutive European character codes “h”, “a”, “v”, and “e”. . Further, the block data generation unit 11c generates a block 22 having arrangement information of three consecutive European character codes “p”, “e”, and “n”.

  Then, the container data generation unit 11b generates the container 20 having the arrangement information of the block 21, and arranges the container 20 in the block 20 so as to be positioned after the half-width space following the character code “I”. Further, the container data generation unit 11b generates the container 21 having the arrangement information of the block 22, and arranges the container 21 in the block 20 so as to be positioned after the half-width space following the character code “a”. Thereby, it is avoided that the block 21 and the block 22 are arranged immediately below the block 20.

  Next, in step S917, the image data generation unit 11d of the processing unit 11 extracts image data included in the text code arrangement data 1001, and identification information for identifying the image data (for example, image data 1, image data 2). Is registered in the image table 1122, and the image table 1122 is arranged in the object data 1120. Note that this processing is not performed when the text code arrangement data 1001 does not include image data.

  The processing unit 11 performs the above-described processes on other chapters included in the text data. In the present embodiment, as described above, the sentence data 1000 includes only one chapter, and therefore, the processing from step S905 to step S919 is performed only once.

  Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 10 will be described below with reference to FIG.

  Steps S1701 to S1707 are performed on all chapters included in the text data. In the present embodiment, since the sentence data 1000 includes only one chapter, the processing from step S1701 to step S1707 is performed only once.

  First, in step S1703, the character image size generation unit 11e of the processing unit 11 determines the character code of each of a plurality of character codes included in the sentence data based on the font and the character size associated with the character code. A character image size indicating the size of the character image is obtained. The character image of the character code is an image obtained by converting the character code into image information based on the font associated with the character code. The character image size has a vertical size of the character image and a horizontal size of the character image. The process for generating the character image will be described later.

  The character image size generation unit 11e refers to the modification data 1002 for each of a plurality of character codes included in the text data, and acquires a font associated with the character code. Then, the character image size generation unit 11e refers to the font package 12b stored in the memory 12, and acquires the font body virtual body height and the font body virtual body width associated with the character code.

  Further, the character image size generation unit 11e refers to the modification data 1002 for each of the plurality of character codes included in the text data, and acquires the character size associated with the character code. Here, when the character code is a ruby character, the character image size generation unit 11e refers to the memory 12 and acquires the character size associated with the character code.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the character image size generation unit 11 e obtains the vertical size of the character image of the character code for each of the plurality of character codes included in the text data by the following equation (1).

    Vertical size of character image = Character size × Virtual body height of font character shape ÷ Virtual body width of font character shape (1)

  Further, the character image size generation unit 11e obtains the horizontal size of the character image of the character code for each of the plurality of character codes included in the sentence data by the following equation (2).

    Horizontal size of character image = Character size (2)

  Then, the character image size generation unit 11e determines, for each of the plurality of character codes included in the text data, the vertical size of the character image and the horizontal size of the character image by identifying information (for example, a character code) 1 and associated with the character code 2) and registered in the object size information table 1113.

  The above-described method for obtaining the vertical size of the character image and the horizontal size of the character image is when the writing direction is vertical writing. On the other hand, when the writing direction is horizontal writing, the method for obtaining the vertical size of the character image and the horizontal size of the character image are interchanged.

  Next, in step S1705, the character image size generation unit 11e of the processing unit 11 performs a kerning process. First, the character image size generation unit 11e refers to the font package 12b stored in the memory 12 for each of a plurality of character codes included in the sentence data, and the character code is a character code to be subjected to kerning processing. Judge whether there is. The character image size generation unit 11e performs a process of changing the character image size for the character code determined as the character code to be subjected to the kerning process.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining kerning processing when the writing direction is vertical writing.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 19, the character image size generation unit 11e determines that two consecutive character codes “V” and “A” are to be subjected to kerning processing.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, the character image size generation unit 11e reduces the horizontal size of the character image with the character code “A” to a predetermined ratio to obtain the horizontal size of a new character image. . The ratio of reducing the horizontal size of the character image is registered in the font package 12b for each character code to be subjected to kerning processing.

  As a result, when two consecutive character codes “V” and “A” are displayed, as shown in FIG. 19A, the character-shaped area of the character code “A” after the kerning process is more than that before the kerning process. The character code “V” is displayed.

  The character image size generation unit 11e associates the horizontal size of the new character image of the character code subjected to kerning processing with identification information (for example, character code 1, character code 2) for identifying the character code, Register in the object size information table 1113. Further, the character image size generation unit 11e performs the same process as the kerning process on the character code that is the target of the ligature process.

  The processing unit 11 performs the above-described processes on other chapters included in the text data. In the present embodiment, as described above, the sentence data 1000 includes only one chapter, and therefore, the processing from step S1701 to step S1707 is performed only once.

  Next, in step S1709, the image data generation unit 11d of the processing unit 11 converts the character code into image information based on the font associated with the character code for each of the plurality of character codes included in the text data. Character image data converted into is generated.

  The image data generation unit 11d refers to the modification data 1002 for each of a plurality of character codes included in the text data, and acquires a font associated with the character code. Then, the character image size generation unit 11e refers to the font package 12b stored in the memory 12, and acquires font character form data associated with the character code.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20, the character image size generation unit 11e generates character image data in which the character code is converted into image information based on the font character shape data. Here, the character image size generation unit 11e preferably generates character image data as vector information. The image data generation unit 11d registers the character image data in the character image table 1121 in association with identification information (for example, character code 1, character code 2) for identifying the character code, and stores the character image in the object data 1120. A table 1121 is arranged.

  In this way, the information processing apparatus 10 generates text data having the data structure 1100 shown in FIG.

  The information processing apparatus 10 transmits text data having the data structure 1100 to the server 20 via the network N. The server 20 stores sentence data having a data structure 1100.

  Next, the operation of the terminal 30 will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  First, the user of the terminal 30 uses the terminal 30 to request predetermined document data from the server 20 storing the document data via the network N. The server 20 transmits the requested document data to the terminal 30 via the network N.

  The terminal 30 receives document data having a data structure as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a document displayed on the display unit 33 by the terminal 30 generating text information to be displayed based on received document data. The terminal 30 displays the text generated based on the document data on the display unit 33 page by page.

  Hereinafter, a process in which the terminal 30 generates sentence information to be displayed on the display unit 33 based on document data having a data structure as illustrated in FIG. 7 or FIG. 11 and displays the sentence will be described.

  First, the browsing execution unit 31a of the processing unit 31 of the terminal 30 refers to the container size information table in the layout data, and the container size (minimum width, maximum width, minimum height, maximum height) is registered. For example, the information is acquired. The browsing execution unit 31a determines the display size of the container data depending on whether the text data is reflow-displayed or fixed-displayed. Whether to perform reflow display or fix display can be specified by the container size information table.

  First, the process for reflow display of text data will be described below. When the text data is reflow-displayed, the container size (minimum width, maximum width, minimum height, maximum height) is not registered in the container size information table. When performing vertical writing display, the browsing execution unit 31a determines the height of the display frame in which the browsing execution unit 31a displays text data as the vertical display size of the container data, as shown in FIG. When displaying vertically, the display size of the container data in the horizontal direction is determined based on the amount of information included in the text data.

  Moreover, when performing horizontal writing display, the browsing execution unit 31a determines the width of the display frame in which the browsing execution unit 31a displays text data as the horizontal display size of the container data, as shown in FIG. When displaying horizontally, the vertical display size of the container data is determined based on the amount of information included in the text data.

  Next, the processing when the text data is displayed as a fix will be described below. The browsing execution unit 31a compares the maximum height of the container size with the height of the display frame on which the browsing execution unit 31a displays the text data, and determines the smaller one of the two heights of the container data. Determined as the vertical display size. Further, the browsing execution unit 31a compares the maximum width of the container size with the width of the display frame on which the browsing execution unit 31a displays the text data, and determines the smaller one of the two widths of the container data. It is determined as the display size in the width direction. Thereby, the possible arrangement range of the container data is determined.

  Even when text data is reflow-displayed, the container size (minimum width, maximum width, minimum height, maximum height) is registered for container data including image data such as photographs or pictures. There is a case. In this case, the browsing execution unit 31a determines the display size of the container data in the vertical direction and the width direction by the same processing as in the case of displaying the fix.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the browsing execution unit 31a performs reflow display of text data in vertical writing will be described below.

  Next, the browsing execution unit 31a refers to the block size information table in the layout data, and acquires vertical and horizontal margins and vertical and horizontal padding for each block data. In the present embodiment, the browsing execution unit 31a reflow-displays the text data in vertical writing, and thus acquires the upper and lower margins and the upper and lower padding.

  As illustrated in FIG. 23, the browsing execution unit 31a determines the possible arrangement range of block data based on the upper and lower margins for each block data. In addition, the browsing execution unit 31a determines the possible arrangement range of the character image data based on the upper and lower padding for each of the block data. The left and right margins and the left and right padding are used in the processing described later.

  When the text data is reflow-displayed in vertical writing, the browsing execution unit 31a determines the possible arrangement range of the block data based on the left and right margins for each of the block data, and performs left and right padding. Based on this, the possible arrangement range of the character image data is determined.

  Next, the browsing execution unit 31a refers to the object size information table in the layout data for each of the block data, and sets the vertical size of the character image and the horizontal size of the character image for each character code. get. And the browsing execution part 31a determines the area | region where the character image of a character code is arrange | positioned based on the vertical size of the character image of the said character code, and the horizontal size of a character image.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 24, the browsing execution unit 31a arranges an area in which the character image of the character code is arranged in the character image data arrangement possible range for each character code. In FIG. 24, the area where the character image of the character code is arranged is a rectangular area. Hereinafter, a region where a character image of a character code is arranged is also simply referred to as a character code region.

  In addition, the browsing execution unit 31a sets the character code area so that the character codes included in the container data (container data arranged in other container data) arranged in the block data are included in the same line. decide. This prevents the parent character and the ruby character or the division prohibited character from being displayed separately.

  The number of rows included in each block is determined by the processing described above. In the present embodiment, two blocks 1 and 2 are arranged in the arrangement range of the character image data. At this stage, no page breaks are placed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 25, the browsing execution unit 31a arranges page breaks at page width positions where the browsing execution unit 31a displays text data. Note that page breaks are not actually displayed.

  And the browsing execution part 31a determines the width | variety of the arrangement | positioning possible range of character image data based on the left-right margin acquired from the block size information table in layout data with respect to each of block data. The left and right margins define the left and right distance between the page break position and the character image data arrangement possible range.

  In addition, the browsing execution unit 31a has, for each block data, character code areas arranged in the arrangement range of the character image data based on the left and right padding acquired from the block size information table in the layout data. Determine the range to be placed. The left and right padding defines the left and right distances between the left and right boundaries of the character image data arrangement range and the character code area arranged inside.

  Then, the browsing execution unit 31a moves character codes that do not fit within one page width to the next page.

  Then, the browsing execution unit 31a refers to the block size information table in the layout data, and acquires information regarding the alignment of character arrangement in units of lines such as uniform alignment or center alignment with respect to each of the block data. And the browsing execution part 31a determines the position which arrange | positions the area | region of a character code based on the information regarding the alignment of the character arrangement of a line unit with respect to each of block data.

  Further, the browsing execution unit 31a refers to the object size information table in the layout data, and acquires information regarding the arrangement of character units such as a superscript or subscript for each character code. And the browsing execution part 31a determines the position which arrange | positions the area | region of a character code based on the information regarding arrangement | positioning of a character unit with respect to each of a character code.

  FIG. 26 shows the arrangement of character codes generated by the above-described processing.

  Next, the browsing execution unit 31a refers to the ruled line table of the style data, and acquires information related to character enclosure, underline, background color, and the like for each of the block data. And the browsing execution part 31a produces | generates the image of modification information based on the information regarding the surrounding of a character, an underline, a background color, etc. with respect to each of block data, The predetermined | prescribed range of arrangement | positioning of character image data Place in position.

  In the example shown in FIG. 27, background color areas are drawn for three character codes.

  Next, the browsing execution unit 31a refers to the character image table of the object data for each character code and acquires character image data. Then, as shown in FIG. 28, the browsing execution unit 31a, for each character code, based on the character image data, the vertical size of the character image of the character code, and the horizontal size of the character image. Is generated and placed in the area of the character code.

  In addition, the browsing execution unit 31a refers to the image table of object data for each character code, and acquires image data. And the browsing execution part 31a produces | generates an image based on image data, and arrange | positions the produced | generated image in the predetermined position of the arrangement | positioning possible range of character image data. In the example shown in FIG. 28, such an image is not arranged.

  Next, for each character code, the browsing execution unit 31a refers to the style information table of the style data, and acquires information regarding the character color, the presence / absence of a mark, character decoration, and the like. And the browsing execution part 31a produces | generates the image of the information which modifies the said character code based on the information regarding a character color, the presence or absence of a mark, the decoration of a character, etc., and the predetermined | prescribed range of arrangement | positioning of character image data is possible. Place in position. In the example shown in FIG. 21, the sphere is drawn for three characters.

  Through the above processing, display information of the text data displayed by the terminal 30 is obtained.

  According to the system of the present embodiment described above, the text data generated by the information processing apparatus has character image data in which the character code is converted into image information instead of the character code. It is not easy to extract character codes from text data.

  In addition, the text data generated by the information processing apparatus has a character code converted into character image data with respect to the original text data having a character code, and character modification information is associated with a character code or the like. Registered in the table. Therefore, the time required for the process of displaying the sentence based on the sentence data generated by the information processing device is shorter than when the terminal displays the sentence based on the original sentence data having the character code. Become. Specifically, on the terminal side, for the character code included in the electronic book data, font character data associated with the character code is read, kerning processing and ligature processing, forbidden character processing, European character processing, etc. Rather than dynamically processing target character code information and generating and displaying a character image, kerning processing and ligature processing, forbidden character processing in the data structure generated in advance by the information processing apparatus 10, Since information that has been subjected to European character processing or the like is incorporated, it is not necessary to dynamically perform processing on the terminal side, and the time required for processing to display a sentence is shortened. Therefore, it is possible to provide a comfortable browsing environment for users who browse documents using the terminal.

  In the present invention, the information processing method, the information processing apparatus, and the data structure of the above-described embodiment can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. In addition, the configuration requirements of one embodiment can be applied to other embodiments as appropriate.

  For example, in the embodiment described above, the primary authoring and the secondary authoring are performed by the information processing apparatus, but the server may perform the secondary authoring. In this case, the information processing apparatus transmits document data in a state where the primary authoring is completed to the server.
