Extract the document and convert the data stream into the document summary, common logical structure, common allocation structure, and the nodes of the tree structure.
It is divided into protocol data units such as a specific logical structure, specific layout structure, display format, layout format, and content part, and stores the protocol data units as subfiles in the object storage file 17. When the data stream is divided into protocol data units by the PDU division and storage unit 11, the tree structure table creation means 12 stores the object type, object identifier, subordinate information as information for managing the tree structure of each protocol data unit. Create a table with object identifiers as items and save it to the object storage file 17.
It is stored as one subfile within the file. The tree structure display means 13 displays a tree structure on the terminal 3 based on the contents of the tree structure table created by the tree structure table creation means 12. The editing instruction acquisition means 14 requests the user to input an editing instruction such as adding or deleting a node in the tree structure from the terminal 3 on which the tree structure is displayed on the tree structure display means 13, and acquires the instruction. The tree structure table updating means 15 adds an item when adding a node to the tree structure table in the object storage file 17 created by the tree structure table creation means 12 according to the editing instruction acquired by the editing instruction acquisition means 14, When deleting an item, update processing such as deleting the item is performed. The object subfile update means 16 refers to the tree structure table that has been updated by the tree structure table update means 15, deletes the subfile in the object storage file 17 for deleted items, and deletes the subfile in the object storage file 17 for added items. A new subfile is created within the file 17. In addition, when a subfile is deleted or added, attribute values related to the tree structure in the protocol data unit are updated for other subfiles that are related to the subfile in the tree structure. The ODA/ODIF document in the object storage file 17 updated by the object subfile updating means 16 has a tree structure intended by the user, which is different from the ODA/ODIF document that existed in the mailbox file 2 before editing the tree structure. By storing the information in the mailbox file 2 as a data stream, it becomes possible to transmit the ODA/ODIF document. This embodiment, as shown in FIG.
The object storage file 17, which is connected to the mailbox file 2 that stores ODIF documents and is a standby combined organization file, and the ODA/ODIF document extracted from the mailbox file 2 are divided into protocol data units, and each protocol data unit is The PDU division storage means 11 stores the PDU as one subfile in the object storage file 17, and a table for managing the tree structure information of each protocol data unit is created, and this tree structure table is stored as one subfile in the object storage file. 17, a tree structure display means 13 for displaying the tree structure of an ODA/ODIF document on a terminal screen by referring to the tree structure table created by the tree structure table creation means 12; Editing instruction acquisition means 14 obtains editing instructions from the user on the terminal screen on which the tree structure nodes are deleted and/or added. A tree-structured table updating means 15 updates the tree-structured table, and deletes and/or adds protocol data units in the object storage file 17 and updates attribute values in the protocol data unit according to the tree-structured table updated by the tree-structured table updating means 15. and object subfile update means 16 for updating. Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. Referring to FIG. 2, (a) is OD
This is an example of a tree structure image of an A/ODIF document before editing, and (b) is an example of a tree structure table before editing for (a). The ODA/ODIF document retrieved from the mailbox file 2 by the PDU division storage means 11 is divided into protocol data units OBJ1 to OBJ9 and stored in the object storage file 17. Tree structure table creation means 12 refers to the attribute values in each object and determines whether the target type is root, page set,
It recognizes whether it is a page, a frame, or a section, and which object is a dependent object, and creates a pre-edit tree structure table as shown in (b) and stores it in the object storage file 17. The tree structure display means 13 refers to the (b) pre-edit tree structure table, creates a pre-edit tree structure image as shown in (a), and outputs it to the terminal 3. The editing instruction acquisition means 14 acquires editing instructions such as node addition and deletion inputted from the terminal 3. Here, as an example, (a) Delete OBJ6 on the tree structure image before editing and add OB under OBJ7.
It is assumed that an instruction has been given to add J10. Referring to FIG. 3, (a) is an example of an edited tree structure image, and (b) is an example of an edited tree structure table.

Items related to J10 are added to create the edited tree structure table shown in FIG. 3(b). The object subfile updating means 16 determines which objects have been updated by comparing the pre-edited tree structure table remaining in the object storage file 17 and the post-edited tree structure table in the memory updated by the tree structure table update means 15. The subfile in the object storage file 17 is updated. OB in the tree structure table after editing
Since J6 has been deleted, the subfile of the protocol data unit related to OBJ6 in the object storage file 17 is also deleted. Furthermore, the subfile of OBJ4 which had OBJ6 as a dependent object is referred to, and the description of OBJ6 with the attribute value indicating dependence is deleted. In addition, a subfile corresponding to OBJ10 added to the tree structure table after editing is created in the object storage file 17, and further OBJ10 is added to the tree structure table after editing.
Refer to the subfile for OBJ7 to which J10 is dependent, and add a description of OBJ10 to the attribute value indicating dependence. Finally, the edited tree structure table existing on the memory is stored in the object storage file 17, and the series of tree structure editing processing is completed. The document edited in the tree structure in this manner can be sent by being taken out from the object storage file 17 to the mailbox file 2.
