As described above, various functions of the information processing apparatus 3 are realized by the control unit 33, which is an example of hardware, by specifically realizing information processing by software stored in the storage unit 32. can be executed as each function unit included in the

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing functions realized by the control unit 33 and the like in the information processing device 3. As shown in FIG. Specifically, the information processing device 3, which is an example of the information processing system 1, includes a control unit 33, and the control unit 33 includes a reception unit 331, an identification unit 332, a comparison unit 333, and an output unit 334. Prepare.

As a first receiving step, the receiving unit 331 receives a request from the user to compare the first code group included in the drawing file DR and the second code group included in the document file DO. The drawing file DR is, for example, a PowerPoint file or a Visio file. Also, the document file DO is, for example, a Word file. It is desirable that the drawing file DR and the document file DO satisfy a predetermined condition for identifying one from the other. The predetermined conditions are, for example, that the drawing file DR and the document file DO have file names containing the same identification information (character strings, etc.), and that the drawing file DR and the document file DO are stored in the same folder or directory. , the presence of another file that describes the association of the drawing file DR and the document file DO, etc., and it is desirable to satisfy any of these.

In the first receiving step, a request generated by a user's operation input is received for a file that the user has opened and is working on, out of the drawing file DR and the document file DO. A file that the user is working on is, for example, a file that has been rendered visible to the user by application software corresponding to the file and that can be edited. Here, reception of requests will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display example of a window displaying the drawing file DR. A drawing file DR is displayed in a window including a quick access toolbar QA and a ribbon RB. Both the quick access toolbar QA and the ribbon RB are arranged with objects for receiving requests. For example, the ribbon RB is arranged with buttons B1, B2, and the like. In addition, ribbon RB can switch objects to be displayed by selecting tab TB. A tab TB is provided, for example, for each type of request corresponding to an object to be displayed. In the first receiving step, the user's operation on the button B1 is received as a request. Similarly, the document file DO is also provided with objects such as buttons for receiving requests. The button B1 and the like are added by an addon or macro to the program for creating and editing the drawing file DR and the document file DO. Instead of the add-on or macro, an independent program may be operated to arrange the object corresponding to the button B1 in a window, such as a pop-up window, independent of the drawing file DR or document file DO.

Here, the first code group and the second code group will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a display example of the drawing file DR. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example of the document file DO. The drawing file DR includes a code S. The drawing file DR includes a drawing number DN and a reference sign S. In the example shown in FIG. 5, "1", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", and "17" are the codes S, and the first code group corresponds to The document file DO includes a page number CP, a paragraph number PN, a code S, and a term T corresponding to the code S in the text. The symbol S is usually written immediately after the term T. In the example shown in FIG. 6, "IP retrophone 1", "IP retrophone 11", "speaker 11", "display 12", "center button 13", "call button 14", "dial button 16", "Microphone 17" and "antenna 18" are a set of code S and term T and correspond to the second code group.

In addition, as a second receiving step, the receiving unit 331 highlights the third code group, the fourth code group, or the fifth code group in the drawing file DR or the document file DO, for example, highlighting HS3, highlighting A request to cancel HS4 and highlighting HS5 is accepted from the user. This release request is accepted, for example, when the user presses the button B2.

The specifying unit 332 extracts all codes included in the drawing file DR, and specifies a code group obtained by excluding overlapping codes from the extracted codes as a first code group. The specifying unit 332 also extracts all codes included in the document file DO in pairs with terms corresponding to the respective codes, and removes duplicate pairs from the extracted pairs of codes and terms to obtain a second set. 2 code group. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the identifying unit 332 identifies “IP retrophone 1” and “IP retrophone 11” as not overlapping because the terms are the same but the symbols are different. "Retrophone 11" and "speaker 11" have the same reference numerals but different terms, so they are specified as non-overlapping.

The comparison unit 333 compares the first code group and the second code group. Specifically, the comparison unit 333 compares each code included in the first code group with each code in the set of the code and the term included in the second code group. Also, the comparison unit 333 may compare each set of the second code group. In this case, the comparison unit 333 compares terms in each set of the second code group and compares codes in each set.

The output unit 334 outputs the comparison result as a first output step. This first output step outputs the third code group as a result of the comparison. The third code group consists of codes S not included in the second code group among all the codes S included in the first code group. Specifically, as a first output step, the output unit 334 outputs the drawing file DRE in which the third code group in the drawing file DR is highlighted. The drawing file DRE in which the third code group is highlighted includes, for example, highlighting HS3, as shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display example of the drawing file DRE. Note that the drawing file DRE may be output in such a manner as to update the drawing file DR, or may be output as a separate file from the drawing file DR.

Also, in the first output step, the output unit 334 outputs the fourth code group as a comparison result. The fourth code group includes, among all pairs of codes S and terms T included in the second code group, codes S not included in the first code group and terms T corresponding to the codes S. consists of pairs. Specifically, as a first output step, the output unit 334 outputs the document file DOE1 in which the fourth code group in the document file DO is highlighted. The document file DOE1 in which the fourth code group is highlighted includes, for example, highlighting HS4 as shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display example of the document file DOE1. Note that the document file DOE1 may be output in such a manner as to update the document file DO, or may be output as a separate file from the document file DO.

Also, in the first output step, the output unit 334 outputs the fifth code group as a result of the comparison. The fifth code group consists of all the pairs of the code S and the term T included in the second code group that contain the same code S. Specifically, as a first output step, the output unit 334 outputs the document file DOE2 in which the fifth code group in the document file DO is highlighted. The document file DOE2 in which the fifth code group is highlighted includes, for example, highlighting HS5 as shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display example of the document file DOE2. Note that the document file DOE2 may be output in such a manner as to update the document file DO, or may be output as a separate file from the document file DO. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the output unit 334 outputs the document file DOE3 including the highlighting HS4 in which the fourth code group is highlighted and the highlighting HS5 in which the fifth code group is highlighted. You may do so. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a display example of the document file DOE3. This document file DOE3 may be output in a manner that updates the document file DO, or may be output as a separate file from the document file DO.

Further, as a second output step, the output unit 334 outputs the drawing file with the highlighting HS3 removed or the document file with the highlighting HS4 and HS5 removed based on the cancellation request received in the second receiving step. to output For example, when the drawing file DR is updated and the drawing file DRE is output in the first output step, the output unit 334 further updates the drawing file DRE and outputs the drawing file with the highlight HS3 removed. However, if the drawing file DRE was output as a file separate from the drawing file DR in the first output step, the drawing file with the highlighted display HS3 canceled is displayed by closing the drawing file DRE and opening the drawing file DR. It may be replaced by outputting a file. Further, when the drawing file DRE has been edited, the output unit 334 may update the drawing file DRE reflecting the editing and output the drawing file with the highlight HS3 removed.

Similarly, when the output unit 334 updates the document file DO and outputs the document file DOE1 in the first output step, the output unit 334 further updates the document file DOE1 to output the drawing file with the highlighting HS4 canceled. If the document file DOE1 was output as a file separate from the document file DO in the first output step, the document file DOE1 is closed and the document file DO is opened, thereby canceling the highlighting HS4. It may be replaced by outputting a drawing file. Further, when the document file DOE1 has been edited, the output unit 334 may update the document file DOE1 reflecting the editing and output the drawing file with the highlighting HS4 removed. Note that the output unit 334 similarly processes the document file DOE2 and the document file DOE3.

By the way, the output unit 334 can also output the comparison result as a result file RF as a first output step. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a display example of the result file RF. The result file contains a list of all the codes contained in the drawing file DR and the document file DO and the terms corresponding to each of the codes. In this list display, the third code group, the fourth code group, and the fifth code group can be distinguished from each other. The third code group consists of all codes included in the first code group that are not included in the second code group. The fourth code group consists of all the sets of codes and terms included in the second code group that are not included in the first code group and the sets of terms corresponding to the codes. . The fifth code group is composed of all pairs of codes and terms included in the second code group that include the same code.

In the example shown in FIG. 11, the result file RF has a code column RS, a term column RT, a location column RL1, a location column RL2, and a detail column RMI. In the code column RS, a code S given or described in at least one of the drawing file DR and the document file DO is arranged. A term T corresponding to the code S is arranged in the term column RT. In the location column RL1, the location indicated by the symbol S in the drawing file DR is indicated by at least one of the number DN of the drawing, the name of the drawing, or the number of the page containing the drawing. In the location column RL2, at least one of the page number CP and the paragraph number PN indicates the location where the code S in the document file DO is described. In the detail column RMI, information indicating that the reference S in the drawing file DR is not attached or the reference S in the document file DO is not described is arranged.

As a result, in the list display of the result file RF, for each code S of the first code group, at least one of the number DN of the drawing to which the code S is assigned, the name of the drawing, or the number of the page containing the drawing is displayed. For each second code group, the page number CP or paragraph number PN of the document file DO containing the code S is displayed. This list display includes, for example, the drawing number DN, the drawing name or page number, the page number CP, the paragraph number PN, etc., and links to the corresponding portions of the drawing file DR or the document file DO. Thus, in this list display, the page including the drawing in the drawing file DR can be opened by the user's operation input for the drawing number DN, the drawing name, or the page number. Further, in this list display, the user's operation input for the page number CP or paragraph number PN allows the page or paragraph number PN of the document file DO to be opened.

3. Information Processing Method In this section, the information processing method of the information processing system 1 described above will be described. FIG. 12 is an activity diagram showing the flow of operations of the information processing system 1. As shown in FIG.

When the information processing system 1 starts operating, it accepts a comparison request (A101). Upon receiving the comparison request, the information processing system 1 identifies the other file from the one file for which the comparison request operation has been performed (A102). For example, when the button B1 is operated while the drawing file DR is open, the information processing system 1 identifies the corresponding document file DO based on the file name of the drawing file DR and the folder in which it is stored. do. Further, when a button (not shown) is operated while the document file DO is open, the information processing system 1 retrieves the corresponding drawing file DR based on the file name of the document file DO, the folder in which it is stored, and the like. Identify.

Next, the information processing system 1 identifies the first code group (A103) and identifies the second code group (A104). The information processing system 1 then compares the first code group and the second code group (A105).

Subsequently, the information processing system 1 outputs at least one of the output of the drawing file DRE with highlighting (A106), the output of the document file DOE1 with highlighting (A107), and the output of the result file RF (A108). conduct. Which file to output is preferably set in advance. The recommended setting is to output any one of three files of drawing file DRE, document file DOE1 and document file DOE2, two files of drawing file DRE and document file DOE3, and one file of result file RF.

When the information processing system 1 receives a request to cancel the highlighting of the drawing file DRE (A109), it cancels the highlighting (A110), and receives a request to cancel the highlighting of the document file DOE1 (A111). , cancel the highlighting (A112).

4. Program Configuration In this section, a configuration example of a program that causes the information processing apparatus 3 to operate as the information processing system 1 will be described. In addition, as described above, the information processing system 1 can be configured by a plurality of information processing apparatuses, but here, the information processing system 1 is configured by the information processing apparatus 3 . FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining a configuration example of a program. As shown in the figure, in the information processing device 3, it is assumed that a drawing processing application AR for drawing processing and a document processing application AO for document processing are running. The drawing processing application AR is an application for processing drawing files DR and the like, and the document processing application AO is an application for processing document files DO.

The program that causes the information processing device 3 to operate as the information processing system 1 operates the information processing device 3 by any one of the program P1, the program P2, and the program P3, or a combination thereof. The program P1 operates the information processing device 3 via the drawing processing application AR, and corresponds to, for example, what is called a macro. The program P2 operates the information processing apparatus 3 via the word processing application AO, and corresponds to what is called a macro, for example. The program P3 is independent of the drawing processing application AR and the word processing application AO, and corresponds to what is called an application, script, or the like.

When the information processing apparatus 3 is operated as the information processing system 1 only by the program P1, the program P1 controls the drawing processing application AR and the word processing application AO. Similarly, when the information processing apparatus 3 is operated as the information processing system 1 only by the program P2, the program P2 controls the drawing processing application AR and the word processing application AO, and the information processing apparatus 3 is operated as the information processing system only by the program P3. 1, the program P3 controls the drawing processing application AR and the word processing application AO. The program P3 can also be configured to edit the drawing file DR and the like and the document file DO and the like without controlling the drawing processing application AR and the word processing application AO.

When the information processing apparatus 3 is operated as the information processing system 1 by combining the programs P1 and P2, the programs P1 and P2 respectively control the drawing processing application AR and the document processing application AO. In this case, the program P1 specifies the first code group, which is the process for the drawing file DR, etc., and the program P2 specifies the second code group, which is the process for the document file DO. is performed by either program P1 or program P2.

Similarly, when the information processing apparatus 3 is operated as the information processing system 1 by combining the program P1, the program P2, and the program P3, the program P1 and the program P2 control the drawing processing application AR and the word processing application AO, respectively. . In this case, the program P1 specifies the first code group, which is the process for the drawing file DR, etc., and the program P2 specifies the second code group, which is the process for the document file DO. is performed by program P3.
