  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Embodiment 1
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an information processing apparatus according to the present invention. Further, FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of a computer forming the information processing apparatus 10 in the present embodiment.

  The information processing apparatus 10 in the present embodiment can be realized by a computer having a general-purpose hardware configuration such as a personal computer (PC). That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 10 includes a CPU 21, a ROM 22, a RAM 23, a hard disk drive (HDD) 24, a mouse 25 and a keyboard 26 provided as input means, and a display 27 provided as display means. An input / output controller 28 and a network interface (IF) 29 provided as communication means are connected to the internal bus 30 to connect them. In addition, in the case of the information processing apparatus which makes liquid crystal panels a user interface, such as a tablet terminal, a liquid crystal panel is an input means and is also a display means.

  The information processing apparatus 10 in the present embodiment has a user interface (UI) unit 11, a display control unit 12, and a document storage unit 13 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, components that are not used in the description of the present embodiment are omitted.

  The user interface unit 11 is a user interface unit that receives information input using the mouse 25 or the keyboard 26 and outputs information to the display 27 via various screens. The display control unit 12 implements one function of the document management software, and controls display so that the user interface unit 11 displays the document stored in the document storage unit 13 and the thumbnail of the document received via the network. .

  The document storage unit 13 stores document files to be displayed and document information such as attribute information of the documents. Here, “document (file)” in the present embodiment should not be interpreted in a narrow sense as a file described only by a character string, and the amount of documents can be counted in units such as pages. It should be broadly interpreted that the file is generated as well as the character string as well as an image such as a drawn figure or photograph.

  The components 11 and 12 in the information processing apparatus 10 are realized by cooperative operation of a computer forming the information processing apparatus 10 and a program operated by the CPU 21 mounted on the computer. The document storage unit 13 is realized by the HDD 24 mounted in the information processing apparatus 10. Alternatively, the RAM 23 or an external storage means may be used via a network.

  Further, the program used in the present embodiment can be provided by communication means as well as stored in a computer readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a USB memory. The programs provided from the communication means and the recording medium are installed in the computer, and various processes are realized by the CPU of the computer sequentially executing the programs.

  Next, characteristic display control processing in the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the document management software is activated or a predetermined operation is performed after the activation, the display control unit 12 reads and acquires a document corresponding to a display object, such as stored in a predetermined folder, from the document storage unit 13 ( Step 111). Subsequently, the display control unit 12 creates a thumbnail of the document to be displayed, and generates display information by combining the thumbnail and the document name read out with the document (step 112).

  FIG. 4A is a diagram showing a display example when the document is displayed without applying the characteristic display control according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a display example when the same document as in FIG. 4A is displayed and the document is displayed by applying the characteristic display control according to the present embodiment. In this embodiment, characteristic display control in the present embodiment is not always applied to display document display information (a set of a thumbnail and a document name), but a characteristic display as shown in FIG. 4A. A mode in which the thumbnail of each document and the document name are always displayed with a constant interval (hereinafter referred to as "constant interval mode") without applying the control, and the characteristic display control as shown in FIG. 4B are applied. A mode (hereinafter, referred to as “document name alignment mode”) is set, and the user can select the mode. The display control process shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to the display control process at the time of selecting the document name alignment mode.

  When a plurality of documents are to be displayed, thumbnails of the documents are generally displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. If the thumbnails do not fit in a single horizontal line in the predetermined display area, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the thumbnails are folded back and expanded and displayed in the vertical direction. However, in the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the documents displayed side by side in the horizontal direction will be described as a group unless otherwise noted.

  Here, the types and display forms of the thumbnails provided by the present embodiment will be described. In addition, when demonstrating that it applies to both FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, it describes as "FIG. 4." FIG. 4 shows a thumbnail representing a document such as document 1 to document 5 and a thumbnail representing a binder formed by binding a plurality of documents such as binder 1. "Binder 1" is strictly the name of the binder and may not be the name of the document, but since it is treated equivalently to the document name, in the present embodiment, the "document" is also included, including the binder name. We will call it "Name".

  The thumbnail of the document is generated by the reduced image of the document, but strictly speaking, includes the reduced image of the document and the accompanying image of the document which is generated as necessary and added to the reduced image. In the present embodiment, the accompanying images 31 and 32 are provided. In FIG. 4A, the accompanying image 31 is an image representing the thickness of the document. As apparent from the comparison of the documents 3, 4 and 5, as the thickness of the document increases, the width of the thickness increases and the amount of the document becomes more visible. In addition, since the document 5 is configured by one page, the accompanying image representing the thickness is not added. The accompanying image 32 is an image for making it possible to select a page to be displayed in a document composed of a plurality of pages, and a clip image 32a for binding a plurality of pages, a reduced image to be displayed on the next page or the previous page And a page information 32c indicating the page number of the document and the page currently displayed. Since the document 5 is only one page, the accompanying image 32 is not added.

  The accompanying image (hereinafter referred to as "thickness image") 31 representing the thickness represents the thickness of the document as described above. The thickness of a document usually depends on the number of pages that make up the document. However, the amount of documents is not limited to the number of pages. For example, when A3-sized sheets are folded and bound in an A4-sized document, the thickness increases although the number of pages does not increase. When sheets of different sizes are folded and bound into a document as described above, the thickness width of the thickness image 31 of the document may be displayed large. In addition to indicating the amount of documents described above, the thickness image 31 may represent other information such as the number of characters and the number of images.

  An attached image for switching a page to be displayed is added to the binder as well as the thumbnail of the document. Further, the width of the thickness in the thickness image 31 of the binder is changed in accordance with the amount of the bound document, as in the case of the document. Furthermore, a band 33 is added to the binder as an accompanying image to visually indicate that a plurality of documents are bound.

  As described above, in general, the reduced image of the document may be referred to as a thumbnail, but in the present embodiment, the display image formed by adding the accompanying image to the reduced image of the document is referred to as a thumbnail. ing.

  As described above, there are two types of thumbnails: document and binder, and the thickness image 31 is added depending on the number of pages of the document. For example, even in the case of the same type as a document, the display form becomes different as the thickness image 31 of the document is added like the relationship between the document 4 and the document 5. Furthermore, even in the case of a document having the same document size as in the relationship between the document 1 and the document 4, the display form also differs depending on the orientation of the paper of the document. The difference in the display mode means that the displayed state is different. Specifically, at least one of the type of the document and the binder, the size and thickness of the document, the direction of the document, and the like is different. Can be mentioned.

  Returning to FIG. 3, when the display control unit 12 generates display information (a set of a thumbnail and a document name) of a document (including a binder) to be displayed in a horizontal row (step 112), the display information is displayed on the user interface unit 11. Although it is displayed, it is determined at this time whether or not the sizes and orientations of the thumbnails of the respective documents displayed in a horizontal row are all the same. If all are the same (Y at step 113), display control is performed to display the document name with a predetermined interval from the thumbnail as before (step 116). This is processing equivalent to display control in the constant interval mode.

  Although the sizes and orientations of the documents displayed in a single horizontal row are not all the same, FIG. 4A shows that for all the documents, each document name is displayed at the same interval from each thumbnail. . When the upper sides of the thumbnails of the documents 1 to 3 different in display form are aligned and displayed, the lower sides of the thumbnails of the documents 1 to 3 are not aligned as illustrated in FIG. 4A. Since the document names of the documents 1 to 3 are displayed at the same intervals from the thumbnails of the documents 1 to 3, they are not displayed aligned in one horizontal row (between the documents displayed in each horizontal direction). , The upper side of the document name of each document is not displayed based on the specific position in the vertical direction). The same applies to the documents 4 and 5 and the binder 1 relationship.

  In the present embodiment, in the case where display information (a combination of thumbnails and document names) of a plurality of documents is displayed side by side, control is performed such that the document names are arranged and displayed. As described above, if all the thumbnails of the document displayed in the horizontal row have the same size and orientation, the document name is displayed in the horizontal row even if control is made to display the document name with a predetermined interval from each thumbnail. (The state in which the upper side of the document name of each document is displayed with reference to a specific position in the vertical direction between the documents displayed in each horizontal direction).

  However, if the sizes and orientations of the documents displayed in a horizontal row are not all the same (N in step 113), they are not displayed aligned in the display control as described above. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the display position of the document name The document names are arranged and displayed by adjusting. To that end, the display control unit 12 specifies one document as a reference from among a plurality of documents displayed in a horizontal row (step 114). Specifically, when the upper sides of the thumbnails are aligned and displayed, the document having the largest thumbnail length in the arrangement direction of the thumbnails and the document name, and the documents 3 to 3 among the documents 1 to 3 illustrated in FIG. Decide as a document. Further, in the documents 4 and 5 and the binder 1, the document 4 is determined as a specific document.

  When the reference document is specified in this manner, the document names of the respective documents are aligned in a single horizontal row at the display position of the document name in the document (step 115). The display position of the document name in the document as the reference may be displayed at a position spaced apart from the thumbnail by the above-mentioned predetermined interval. Thus, after adjusting the display position of the document name, the display control unit 12 controls the user interface unit 11 to display the document to be displayed (step 116).

  A display example after the above display control process is performed is shown in FIG. 4B. As shown in FIG. 4B, the document names of the documents 1 to 3 are aligned and displayed based on the document name of the document 3. Also, the document names of the documents 4 and 5 and the binder 1 are aligned and displayed based on the document name of the document 4. As described above, the document names displayed side by side become easy to view if they are displayed side by side in a row.

  In the present embodiment, step 113 is provided to determine whether or not the sizes and orientations of the thumbnails of the respective documents displayed in one horizontal row are the same. Even when the size and the direction of the thumbnails are all the same, the reference document may be specified, and the display position of the document name of each document may be adjusted. However, if the size and orientation of the thumbnails of each document displayed in a single horizontal row are all the same, in step 114, any document may be used as a reference. Further, although the present embodiment is described on the assumption that the upper sides of the thumbnails are aligned, the lower sides of the thumbnails are aligned even if the sizes and orientations of the thumbnails of the respective documents are not all the same. When the document names are displayed with a predetermined interval from the thumbnail, the document names are displayed aligned in a horizontal row. Therefore, in order to include also in this case, in step 113, branching may be performed under the condition that the lower sides of the thumbnails of the documents displayed side by side are aligned.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the thickness image 31 is added to the thumbnail to form the thumbnail has been described as an example. However, the mode for adding the thickness image 31 and the mode for not adding the thickness image 31 may be set so that the user can select the mode. Of course, even in the mode in which the thickness image 31 is not added, display control in the document name alignment mode is possible.

  5A and 5B show display examples of two types of documents 7 and 8 having different display modes. Documents 7 and 8 are displayed with the top sides of the thumbnails aligned. Then, in FIG. 5A, an example in which the constant interval mode in which the thumbnail and the document name are displayed at regular intervals is displayed is selected, and in FIG. 5B, the document names of the documents displayed side by side are arranged. An example in which the document name sort mode to be displayed is selected and displayed is shown.

  By the way, there is also document management software which can specify an arbitrary sheet size other than selecting the sheet size of the document from among the standard sizes decided in advance such as A4 size and postcard size. Documents 7 and 8 are documents created by specifying an arbitrary size. Among them, the document 7 has a relatively short thumbnail length in the arrangement direction of the thumbnail and the document name. On the other hand, the document 8 has a relatively long thumbnail relative to the arrangement direction of the thumbnail and the document name. It is assumed that display information (a set of thumbnails and document names) of the documents 7 and 8 is displayed in the document name arrangement mode as illustrated in FIG. 5B. In FIG. 5B, assuming that the display area 34 indicated by the broken line is a range that can be displayed at once from the screen size of the display 27, the space between the thumbnail of the document 7 and the document name is too open and the thumbnail of the document 7 is not displayed on the screen It will be in the state. Since the thumbnail of the document 7 is not displayed, it is difficult to know the document name of the document 7 displayed on the screen. That is, if the difference in the display form of the thumbnails displayed side by side is large, display problems may occur as in this example.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, conditions and the like for avoiding display problems caused by the large difference between the display modes of the thumbnails displayed side by side are set in advance as the predetermined conditions. Then, when the document names of a plurality of documents are arranged and displayed as shown in FIG. 5B, the display position of the thumbnail and the document name included in the display information (a combination of the thumbnail and the document name) or the documents displayed side by side Is controlled to stop displaying in the document name alignment mode, that is, displaying the document names in alignment.

  As predetermined conditions for canceling the display in the document name alignment mode, conditions are set in the case where it is predicted that display problems will occur if the document name is displayed in the document name alignment mode. . For example, as described using the documents 7 and 8, the difference in the display form of the thumbnails displayed side by side increases as the display problems occur in the document name alignment mode. That is, the display positions of the thumbnail and the document name are displayed at intervals exceeding a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold value takes into consideration the relationship between the display positions of the thumbnails, for example, at which position (for example, the upper side, the center position, etc.) the thumbnails displayed side by side are aligned and displayed, the screen size of the display 27, etc. And set.

  In the present embodiment, display control of display information is performed according to the display control process shown in FIG. 3. However, in the case where display problems occur as described above, the sizes and orientations of document thumbnails are all unified. Even if the document is not displayed, the display control for arranging and displaying the document names may be forcibly canceled.

  In the present embodiment, a document created by designating an arbitrary size has been described as an example, but display problems such as a combination of the postcard size side and the A0 size side may occur. A combination of the paper size and orientation of the predetermined standard may be set in advance as the predetermined condition. That is, when the size and the orientation of the documents displayed side by side correspond to the combination of the size and the orientation of the sheet preset as the predetermined condition, the display in the document name alignment mode is forcibly stopped.

Second Embodiment
In the document name alignment mode described in the first embodiment, the display position of the document name is adjusted in order to align and display the document names of the documents displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. In the present embodiment, a constant interval mode in which the thumbnail and the document name are displayed at predetermined intervals is always adopted, and the display size of the thumbnail is adjusted to arrange and display the document names of the documents. It is characterized by

  The functional block configuration and the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 in the present embodiment may be the same as in the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the display control process in the present embodiment will be described. The basic process flow of the display control process in the present embodiment may be the same as that in the first embodiment. However, steps 114 and 115 in FIG. 3 are different.

  FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a display example when the document is displayed without applying the characteristic display control according to the present embodiment, that is, a display example when the document is displayed in the constant interval mode. FIG. 6B is a diagram showing an example when the document is displayed in the constant interval mode and the characteristic display control according to the present embodiment is applied to display the document. In addition, when demonstrating that it applies to both FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, it describes as "FIG. FIG. 6 shows an example in which a vertically oriented A3 size document 9, a horizontally oriented A4 size document 10, and a horizontally oriented A5 size document 11 are displayed side by side. Because the size and orientation of each document 9-11 are not the same, as shown in FIG. 6A, the document names of each document 9-11 are not aligned in the horizontal direction.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the display information is displayed in the constant interval mode, the length of the thumbnails of the documents 9 to 11 displayed side by side with respect to the arrangement direction of the thumbnails and the document names when displayed is It is characterized in that control is made so that the document names of the plurality of documents 9 to 11 are aligned and displayed by adjusting the display size of the thumbnails so as to be at least the same. Since all the documents to be displayed in FIG. 6 are A-sized, the lengths in the orthogonal direction (horizontal direction) of the thumbnail and the document name become the same if the lengths (vertical direction) in the arrangement direction of the document are aligned.

  As illustrated in FIG. 6B, in the present embodiment, the display sizes of the thumbnails in the documents 9 to 11 are all adjusted to be A4 size. That is, the display size serving as the reference of adjustment is A4 size. The display size serving as a reference for adjustment may be determined in advance as the A4 size, or the display size of any one of the display sizes of the thumbnails of the documents 9 to 11 displayed side by side (in this example, the document 10 The display size of the thumbnail of) may be selected. The selection criterion may be a document with a central display size as in this example, or may be maximum or minimum, or the selection criterion may be appropriately set according to the combination of the display sizes of the thumbnails displayed side by side. May be Alternatively, it may be selected by the user.

  In order to adjust the A3-sized vertical thumbnails of each document 9 to A4-sized, the display control unit 12 changes the existing thumbnails into thumbnails of the image folded in half as shown in FIG. 6B. Further, in order to adjust the A5-sized horizontal thumbnails of the respective documents 11 to A4-sized, the display control unit 12 changes the existing thumbnails into double-magnified thumbnails as shown in FIG. 6B. Thus, when the display size of the thumbnails is changed, the display sizes of the thumbnails of the respective documents 9 to 11 are all unified to A4 size sideways. As a result, when the document names of the documents 9 to 11 are displayed at predetermined intervals from the corresponding thumbnails, the document names are aligned in one horizontal row and displayed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the document names of the documents displayed side by side can be aligned and displayed in a single horizontal row by adjusting the size of the thumbnail.

  In the above description, for convenience of explanation, the case where the documents of display size A are displayed side by side is described as an example, but even when A size and B size are mixed, the arrangement of thumbnail and document name The display size of the thumbnail may be adjusted so that the length for the direction is at least the same. In the above description, for convenience of explanation, the thumbnail image to which the accompanying image such as the thickness image 31 of the document is not added is described as an example, but the present invention is also applicable to the case where the accompanying image is added.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, although the case of adjusting the display position of the document name and the case of adjusting the display size of the thumbnail in order to arrange and display the document names has been described separately, both display control A function may be installed, and the user may select which one to use.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the document name has been described as an example of the document information to be aligned and displayed, but the document information may be any as long as it indicates the attribute of the document. The date and time etc. can be raised. In that case, the document information to be displayed may be the target of the sort display.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the images are aligned and displayed in the horizontal direction has been described as an example, but it may be aligned with the arrangement direction of the thumbnails by the document management software. For example, if the document management software causes the thumbnails to be vertically aligned and displayed and the document name is displayed on the horizontal side, display control may be performed so that the document names are aligned and displayed in the vertical direction.
