Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily and rapidly enhance item information by retrieving the item information from an input document by an item information retrieval means, and enhancing a character string which forms the item information retrieved by a character string enhancing means. CONSTITUTION:An input document holding part 1 holds the input document, and an enhancing means holding part 2 is provided with an item pattern holding part 2a which holds an item pattern ought to enhance the character string and an enhancing method holding part 2b to hold an enhancing method by which enhancement is performed. The item information is retrieved from the input document held at the input document holding part 1 based on the item pattern held by the item pattern holding part 2a. And a character string enhancing part 4 enhances the character string which forms the item information retrieved at the item information retrieval part 3 according to the enhancing method held at the enhancing method holding part 2b, and holds an output document including an enhanced character string at an output document holding part 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document processing device, for example, a document processing device that processes documents in colloquial and English languages.

[Prior Art] In general, in order to clarify the structure of a document, a document processing device searches for item information representing the divisions of chapters, sections, sections, etc. from the input document, and then changes the text to avoid using bold letters. It was emphasized and called the reader's attention.

[Invention or Means to Solve the Problem] However, it is a waste of time and effort for the user to manually search for item information and highlight it, so there has been a desire for automatic automation.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and provides a document processing device that easily and quickly emphasizes item information.

Further, a document processing device is provided that can specify the pattern and emphasis method of item information.

[Assignment II! 1' Means for Determining] In order to solve this problem, the document processing device of the present invention includes an input document holding means for holding an input document, and item information from the input document held in the input document holding means. and a character string emphasizing means for emphasizing character strings forming the item information retrieved by the item information retrieval means.

Furthermore, an input means is provided for inputting a pattern of item information to be emphasized and an emphasis method.

[Operation] In such a configuration, the item information search means searches for item information from the input document held in the input grammar holding means, and the character string highlighting means emphasizes the character string forming the searched item information. .

Further, the character string emphasizing means emphasizes the character string forming the item information retrieved by the item information retrieval means according to the pattern and emphasis method inputted from the input means.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1. FIG.

1 is an input document holding unit that holds an input document, and 2 is an item pattern holding unit 2a that emphasizes a character string such as , or holds the item pattern; This is an emphasis means information holding section which has an emphasis method holding section 21 which holds the method. Reference numeral 3 denotes an item information search unit that searches item information from the input document held in the input document holding unit 1 based on the item pattern held in the item pattern holding unit 2a. 4 is item information search section 3
5 is a character string emphasizing part that emphasizes a character string forming item information included in the input document searched by the emphasizing method holding part 2b according to the emphasizing method held in the emphasizing method holding part 2b;
This is an output document holding unit that holds an output document containing a character string highlighted by .

FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of the document processing device on the tree layer side.

21 is a control memory for recording control procedures as shown in FIG. 3, which will be described later. 22 is a central processing unit that performs judgments and calculations according to control procedures stored in the control memory 21. Reference numeral 23 denotes an auxiliary memory for holding various data, including an input document holding section 11, an emphasis means information holding section 2
．． It has an output document holding section 5 and the like. 24 is a disk device for storing documents and the like. Further, 25 is an input section such as a keyboard, and 26 is an output section such as a printer or CRT.

Next, referring to the operation flowchart shown in FIG.
The operation of the device shown in the figure will be explained.

First, step S1 is repeated until the input document is held in the input document holding unit 1. When the input document is held in the input document holding section 1, the process proceeds to step S2, and the item pattern to be searched is read out from the item pattern holding section 2a. In step S3, item information is searched for by sequentially comparing the input document held in the input document holding unit 1 with the item pattern.

Various search methods have been proposed, such as, for example, one way to search for chapter . . . is to search for chapter .

Step S3. When an item to be emphasized is found by repeating S4, the process proceeds to step S5 where emphasis processing is performed. In this example, in order to represent the item in bold, special codes for starting bold and ending bold are inserted before and after the character string forming the item. In step S6, check whether the entire text is finished or not.
If not, move to step S3 and move to steps 83-S
4. FIG. 1 shows an example of an input document held in the input document holding section 2.

Figure 5 shows the item information (in this example, the item information of the input document in Figure 4).
This is an example of an output document held in the output document holding unit 5 in which the chapter .

As described above, this embodiment has the advantage that it is possible to quickly and easily emphasize item information.

In addition, in this example, chapter... was emphasized, but for example,
"CHAPTERI", "1.1".

``(1)'', ``a'', °, etc. may be emphasized, and the emphasizing method is not limited to Oaji, it is also possible to use underline, etc., and moreover, a plurality of emphasizing methods may be combined depending on the purpose.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the items to be emphasized and the emphasis method are stored in advance in the emphasis means information holding section 2, but as shown by broken lines in FIG. 1, the emphasis means information input section 6 (in FIG. 25) may be configured so that it can be specified by the user.

In addition, in the above embodiment, only the item information is emphasized, but not only the item information but also the character string following the item information,
In other words, the title and the like may be emphasized.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a document processing device that easily and quickly emphasizes item information.

Furthermore, a document processing device that can specify the pattern and emphasis method of item information can be provided.
