[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to an automatic content generation apparatus in a structured document system that automatically generates contents of a content document file corresponding to a structured document file.
With the recent development of OA equipment, relatively long documents have been digitized. In the case of a long document, the logical structure such as chapters, sections, and terms cannot be easily recognized, and the logical structure is easily lost when the contents are manipulated. In order to solve this problem, a structured document system was developed.
In the structured document system, a logical structure of a document is created as a file, and content file information is stored in a logical structure unit (referred to as a node), thereby facilitating the processing of a long document. In other words, the processing of long documents is facilitated by allowing data processing to be performed in units of nodes. In such a structured document system, a reference creation function is provided in order to create a new structured document based on a structured document that has already been created. However, only the structure of the reference source structured document is referred to, and the original content itself associated with the reference source structured document is not copied.
Accordingly, the content associated with the newly created structured document is shared by the reference source. Therefore, it is effective when it is desired to make the contents common to the reference source and the reference destination, but cannot be created and saved as separate documents. Therefore, a system that can easily create another document is required.
[Conventional technology]
FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram of the structured document system. In the figure, 1 is a structured document file in which a structured document is stored, and 2 is a content document file (specifically, a Japanese document file) in which contents corresponding to the structured document file 1 are stored. In the figure, a document named report is structured. The tree structure is divided into nodes in units of files and is composed of three nodes (1) to (3). As node information, a file name, a title, and pages in all documents are stored. On the other hand, the content document file 2 is composed of content files corresponding to the nodes of the structured document file 1 (particularly, the most terminal node; also referred to as leaf node).
As described above, in the structured document system, when creating a new structured document based on an already created structured document, only the tree structure of the structured document shown in 1 is referred to and the content is copied. A new tree structure is created. The content shown in 2 is not copied.
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, in the conventional method, as shown in FIG. 5, only the structured document is copied to create a new structured document file 1 ', and the contents corresponding to the structured document are not copied. As a result, the content associated with the newly created structured document is shared with that of the reference source as shown in FIG. For this reason, when the editing work on the structured document 1 'side is executed, there is a possibility that the contents of the reference source contents document file 2 are changed.
Therefore, conventionally, after the user releases the link between the structured document of the reference source and the content, the structured document and the content are separately copied to the new structured document file and the content document file by the copy function of management, respectively. Finally, since it is necessary to relink the new structured document file and the content document file, the processing is very complicated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and when a structured document file is copied to another, the contents can be copied together and automatically generated in the structured document system. The object is to provide a device.
[Means for solving problems]
FIG. 1 is a principle block diagram of the present invention. In the figure, 11 is a node search section for sequentially searching a reference creation main section for copying the entire control operation and structured document file, and 13 is a copied structured document file 1 'and first contents corresponding thereto. This is a link release unit for releasing the link between the document files 2. 14 is a content copying unit for copying the content from the content document file 2 whose link has been released to another content document file 2 ', and 15 is a structured document file 1' copied from the structured document file 1 by copying. This is a link re-link part for re-linking the created new content document file 2 '. Here, 2 ′ is a separately prepared content document file having the same configuration as the content document file 2. Here, re-linking means that a link is established between the leaf node of the structured document file 1 ′ and the contents of the newly provided contents document file 2 ′. The configuration of the present invention can be configured by hardware or software.
[Action]
The link between the node searched by the node search unit 12 and the content is released by the link release unit 13, and in the released state, the content copying unit 14 copies the content corresponding to the node to the new content document file 2 '. When copying is completed, the link relink unit 15 relinks the link between the node of the new structured document file and the corresponding content of the new content document. The above operation is performed on all nodes. In this way, according to the present invention, when a structured document file is copied to another without affecting the original contents, the contents can also be copied together.
[Example]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the present invention. First, the reference creation main unit 11 refers to the structured document file 1 and copies a new tree structure into the structured document file 1 ′ (K1). Here, the tree structure of the reference source is composed of nodes A to E. A is a root node, C, D, and E are leaf nodes, and B is an intermediate node. The contents in the contents document file 2 are stored in correspondence with 1a, 2a, and 3a for the leaf nodes C, D, and E of the tree structure, respectively.
Here, the first structured document file 1 is copied to become the second structured document file 1 ', and the nodes A to E of the first structured document file are the second structured document file 1'. Correspond to the nodes A ′ to E ′.
Next, the link release unit 13 releases the link extending between the corresponding leaf node of the second structured document file 1 ′ and the corresponding portion of the first content document file 2. Next, the content 1a of the first content document file 2 is copied to the newly provided second content document file 2 ′ to be 1b (K2). As a result, the copied content is 1b. Next, the node search unit 12 searches for C ′ which is a leaf node of the second structured document file 1 ′, and the relink unit 15 links between this and 1b of the second content document file 2 ′. Reapply (K3).
Next, the link release unit 13 releases the link extending between the corresponding leaf node of the second structured document file 1 ′ and the corresponding portion of the first content document file 2. Next, the content 2a of the first content document file 2 is copied to the newly provided second content document file 2 'to be 2b (K4). As a result, the copied content is 2b. Next, the node search unit 12 searches for D ′ which is a leaf node of the second structured document file 1 ′, and the relink unit 15 links between this and 2b of the second content document file 2 ′. Repeat (K5).
Next, the link cancellation unit 13 cancels the link extending between the corresponding leaf node of the second structured document file 1 ′ and the corresponding part of the first content document file 2. Next, the content 3a of the first content document file 2 is copied to the newly provided second content document file 2 ′ to be 3b (K6). As a result, the copied content is 3b. Next, the node search unit 12 searches for E ′ which is a leaf node of the second structured document file 1 ′, and the relink unit 15 links between this and 3b of the second content document file 2 ′. Repeat (K7).
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the present invention. First, the node search unit 12 searches for a node in the structured document file 1 (S1). Then, it is checked whether there is a corresponding content for the searched node (S2). If there is no content, the next node is searched. If there is content, the node release unit 13 releases the link with the content in the content document file 2 linked to the node (S3). After the release of the link, the content copying unit 14 copies the content into the new content document file 2 '(S4). When the copying of the contents is completed, the link re-link unit 15 re-links the contents and the nodes in the new structured document file 1 '(S5). The above operation is repeated for each content by the number n of nodes. As a result, the contents for the new tree structure can be automatically generated.
[The invention's effect]
As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the link between the node searched by the node search unit and the content is released by the link release unit, and in the released state, the content copying unit changes the content corresponding to the node to the new content. Copy to the document file, and when copying is complete, configure the link relink unit to relink the link between the new structured document file node and the corresponding content in the new content document. When the structured document file is copied to another without affecting, the contents can be copied together.
