[0019]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a document processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this document processing system 1200,
A keyboard 1201 is used for inputting character strings and figures. Reference numeral 1202 is a display device capable of displaying characters and figures and pointing. 1203 is a processing device. An external storage device 1204 includes a character font, a common document structure (common logical structure and common layout structure).
A library, a specific document structure (a specific logical structure and a specific allocation structure), a document content part, an editing program, an allocation program, a visualization program, a common document structure search program, and a common document structure upgrade registration program are stored. Reference numeral 1205 is a printer.

Reference numeral 1206 denotes a main storage device, which previously reads an editing program 1207, an allocation program 1208, a visualization program 1209, a common document structure retrieval program 1210 and a common document structure upgrade registration program 1211 from the external storage device 1204.

When inputting the contents of a new document by editing, the user inputs the name of the document and the name of the common logical structure using the keyboard 1201. The editing program 1207 reads the common logical structure of the input name from the external storage device 1204 into the main storage device 1206. Then, the input content is displayed on the display device 1202. In addition, a new content section is created from the input content. Further, a specific logical structure is newly created from the input contents and the common logical structure, and the content part is associated with this.

When the content of the existing document is changed by editing, the user inputs the name of the content part of the document, the name of the specific logical structure, and the name of the common logical structure by using the keyboard 1201. The editing program 1207 reads the content part, the specific logical structure, and the common logical structure of the document having the input name from the external storage device 1204 into the main storage device 1206. Then, the read content or the changed content is displayed on the display device 1202. Also, the content section is changed according to the changed content. Further, the specific logical structure is changed from the changed contents and the common logical structure, and the contents part is associated with this.

When a document is newly allocated by allocation, the user uses the keyboard 1201 to input the name of the content part of the document, the name of the specific logical structure, and the name of the common allocation structure. The allocation program 1208 reads the content part, the specific logical structure, and the common allocation structure of the document having the input name from the external storage device 1204 into the main storage device 1206. Then, a specific allocation structure is newly created by the read content part, the specific logical structure, and the common allocation structure, and the content part is associated with this. Further, the content part of the document and the specific allocation structure are passed to the visualization program 1209 to request visualization.

When changing the layout of a document by layout, the user uses the keyboard 1201 to input the name of the content part of the document, the name of the specific logical structure, the name of the specific layout structure, and the name of the common layout structure. . Allocation program 1208
Reads the content part, the specific logical structure, the specific allocation structure, and the common allocation structure of the document having the input name from the external storage device 1204 into the main storage device 1206. Then, the specific allocation structure is changed by the read content part, the specific logical structure, and the common allocation structure, and the content part is associated with this. Further, the visualization program 120 visualizes the content part of the document and the specific allocation structure.
Pass to 9 and request visualization.

The visualization program 1209 lays out the content portion of the document according to the specific layout structure and the character fonts used by the document, converts it into an image, and displays it on the display device 12.
02, or print with the printer 1205.

When allocating after editing,
The content part of the document and the specific logical structure are passed from the editing program 1207 to the allocation program 1208.

The common document structure retrieval program 1210 is
Upon editing, when the user inputs the name of the common logical structure with the keyboard 1201, the common logical structure with that name is retrieved and extracted from the common document structure library stored in the external storage device 1204, and this is used as the editing program. hand over. In addition, upon allocation, when the user inputs the name of the common allocation structure with the keyboard 1201, the common allocation structure with that name is retrieved from the common document structure library stored in the external storage device 1204 and allocated. Pass to the program.

The common document structure library is hierarchized. By hierarchizing, it becomes possible to suitably manage the common document structure having a highly versatile structure and the customized common document structure. Also, these common document structures can be made to exist under the same name. For example, a common document structure library is constructed from two layers, a global library and a local library, and a common document structure “sales report” specified company-wide is stored in the global library, and a common document structure “sales company specified” company-wide Store a common document structure "sales report" in a local library, which is customized so that each salesperson can use the report "for himself / herself. In the global library common document structure "Sales Report", the customer name and sales representative name are undefined, whereas in the local library common document structure "Sales Report", the customer name and sales representative name are specified. Has been done. Therefore, if the sales person uses the common document structure “sales report” of the local library, it is convenient because it is not necessary to input the customer name and the name of the customer in charge of each sales report. Of course, it is also possible for the sales person in charge to write the sales report using the common document structure “sales report” of the global library. No matter which common document structure "sales report" is used, the content part, the specific logical structure, and the specific allocation structure of the written sales report are the same.

FIG. 2 shows a concrete example of the common document structure library. The common document structure library 1300 includes a company-wide library 1301 and a personal library 13 of the user a.
02 and user b's personal library 1303. The company-wide library 1301 contains "Academic A Papers", "Academic B Papers", "Patents", "Memo"
Five common document structures named "minutes" are stored. The user a's personal library 1302 stores three common document structures named “Academic Society Paper”, “Patent”, and “Memo”. User b's personal library 1
In 303, three common document structures named “patent”, “memo”, and “minutes” are stored.

3 and 4 show the common logical structure of the common document structure "Academic A paper" in the company-wide library 1301 as T
This is an example of the notation based on the ree structure. First, it is defined using the description "REQ" that the common logical structure <Academic Society Paper> is composed only of <body>.
Further, it is defined using the description “SEQ” that the <main body> is composed of a series of <title><authorname><workplace><text><references>. Also, <text> is <chapter>
Is defined by using the description "REP". Also, <chapter> is <chapter text><
Repeating selecting one from the figure><table><section> is defined using the description “REP CHO”. The description “CHO” means selecting one from a plurality of structural units.

FIG. 5 exemplifies the common layout structure of the common document structure “Academic A Paper” in the company-wide library 1301 by the notation of the Three structure. First, it is defined by using the description "REQ" that the common allocation structure <Academic Society Paper> is composed only of <Page set>. Further, it is defined using the description "SEQ" that the <page set> is composed of a series of <first page> and <next page>.

FIG. 6 shows the personal library 130 of the user a.
2 illustrates an example of the common logical structure of the common document structure “Academic A Thesis” in 2 by the notation by the Three structure. For the user a, since the contents of <author name> and <workplace> are fixed in the unit of common logical structure <Academic A Paper> in the company-wide library 1301, these structural units have common logic in the company-wide library 1301. Excluded from the structure <Academic paper A> is the personal library 1302 of user a.
The common logical structure is <Academic Society Paper>.

FIG. 7 shows the personal library 130 of the user a.
The common allocation structure of the common document structure “Academic A thesis” in 2 is illustrated by the notation by the Three structure. For user a, the common allocation structure <Academic Society A thesis> in the company-wide library 1301 is <Japanese author name frame><
Since the contents of the Japanese work space><English author name space><English work space> are fixed, the contents directly assigned to these structural units are the common allocation structure in the personal library 1302 of the user a. Society A paper>

FIG. 8 shows the personal library 130 of the user a.
2 is a conceptual diagram in which the common document structure “Academic A thesis” in 2 is visualized.

When the user specifies the common document structure and inputs or changes the contents of the document, the number of times of repetition in the "REP" of the common document structure according to the contents of the document,
What is selected in "CHO" is determined and a specific document structure is generated.

If a highly versatile common document structure of the company-wide library 1301 is customized for an individual and registered with the same name in the personal library and the common document structure of the personal library is used, efficient document processing can be performed. It will be possible. That is, rather than using the common document structure of the entire library 1301 as shown in FIGS.
Documents can be processed more efficiently by using the common document structure of the personal library 1302 as shown in FIGS.

As another example of customizing a highly versatile common document structure of the company-wide library 1301 and registering it with the same name in the personal library, a manuscript submitted for presentation at a certain academic society is two-stage. When the selection of the page layout of the group and the one-column group is arbitrary, a common document structure in which the page layout of the two-column group and the page layout of the one-column group can be selected is registered in the company-wide library 1301, and the personal library is registered. There is a case where a common document structure in which one of the two-column or one-column page layout is selected is registered with the same name.

FIG. 9 shows the common document structure retrieval program 12
FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a first example of a common document structure search process by 10. In step 101, the name of the common document structure designated by the user is read and set in the variable GenName. In order to let the user specify the name of the common document structure,
An example of a screen displayed on the display device 1202 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 10, reference numeral 1401 is a guidance screen, and 1402 is a screen after the user inputs “Academic paper A”.

In step 102, the common document structure having the name set in the variable GenName is searched in the user's personal library. If the user is user a, the user's personal library 1302 is searched. Step 103
Then, it is determined whether or not the common document structure having the name set in the variable GenName is in the user's personal library. If not, the process proceeds to step 104, and if there is, the process proceeds to step 105. In step 104, the variable GenName
The common document structure with the name set in
Search in 01. In step 105, the common document structure found in the personal library or the company-wide library is passed to the editing program 1207 or the allocation program 1208.

According to the first example described above, by hierarchizing the common document structure library, a highly versatile common document structure and a customized common document structure can be registered under the same name. , The user need only remember one name. Then, if there is a customized common document structure, it is selected preferentially, so that the document can be processed efficiently. Further, if there is no customized common document structure, a versatile common document structure is automatically selected, so that it is possible to prevent the user from being burdened with the selection.

FIG. 11 shows a common document structure retrieval program 1
FIG. 14 is a flowchart of a second example of common document structure search processing by 210. In step 201, the user is made to select whether the common document structure library to be searched is a personal library or a company-wide library. To make this selection, examples of screens displayed on the display device 1202 are shown in 1501 of FIG. 12 and 1501 of FIG.

In step 202, if the user selects the personal library, the process proceeds to step 203, and if the entire library is selected, the process proceeds to step 203. Step two
In 03, the name of the user's personal library is set to the variable LibN.
Set to ame. If the user is the user a, the name of the personal library 1302 of the user a is set in the variable LibName. In step 204, the company-wide library 1301
Set the name of the variable to the variable LibName.

In step 205, the name of the common document structure designated by the user is read and set in the variable GenName. An example of a screen displayed on the display device 1202 to allow the user to specify the name of the common document structure is shown in FIG.
2 1602, 1603 and 1502 in FIG. Reference numeral 1602 in FIG. 12 is a screen for inputting the name of the personal library when the user selects the personal library. Reference numeral 1603 indicates the common document structure of the personal library when the user inputs the name of the personal library. It is a screen that displays a list of names and prompts the user to specify the names. Reference numeral 1502 in FIG. 13 is a screen that, when the user selects the company-wide library 1301, displays a list of common document structure names of the company-wide library 1301 and allows the user to specify the names.

In step 206, the common document structure having the name set in the variable GenName is searched for in the library set in the variable LibName. In step 105, the common document structure found in the library is passed to the editing program 1207 or the allocation program 1208.

According to the second example described above, by hierarchizing the common document structure library, a highly versatile common document structure and a customized common document structure can be registered under the same name. , The user need only remember one name. Since the user selects which library of the common document structure library to use, the common document structure having a structure suitable for the purpose can be quickly used, and the document can be efficiently processed. Further, by displaying the names of the common document structures in a list, the target common document structure can be correctly specified even if the names of the common document structures are vaguely stored, and the operability is improved.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a third example of the common document structure search processing by the common document structure search program 1210. 301
Then, the name of the common document structure library designated by the user is read and set in the variable LibName. In step 302, it is determined whether the common document structure library designated by the user is another user's personal library.
If it is another user's personal library, proceed to step 304, and if it is not another user's personal library, step 2
Go to 05.

In step 304, it is checked whether the user is permitted to search the personal library of another user. In step 305, if the user is permitted to search the personal library of another user, the process proceeds to step 205. If not, the process proceeds to step 306. In step 306, an error message is output.

In step 205, the name of the common document structure designated by the user is read and set in the variable GenName. In step 206, the common document structure having the name set in the variable GenName is searched in the common document structure library set in the variable LibName. If the personal library of another user is in another document processing system connected via the LAN, the personal library is accessed and searched through the LAN. In step 105, the common document structure found in the library is passed to the editing program 1207 or the allocation program 1208.

According to the third example described above, by hierarchizing the common document structure library, a highly versatile common document structure and a customized common document structure can be registered under the same name. , The user need only remember one name. Since the user is allowed to specify which library of the common document structure library to use, the common document structure having a structure suitable for the purpose can be quickly used, and the document can be efficiently processed. Further, since the common document structure library of another user can be used only when permitted, confidentiality can be secured.

FIG. 15 shows the common document structure retrieval program 1
FIG. 21 is a flowchart of a fourth example of common document structure search processing by 210. In step 401, the library use mode set by the user is checked. In step 402, if the library use mode is "personal priority", the process proceeds to step 101, if "default", the process proceeds to step 403, and if "latest use", the process proceeds to step 404.

In step 101, the name of the common document structure designated by the user is read and set in the variable GenName. In step 102, the common document structure having the name set in the variable GenName is searched in the user's personal library. In step 103, it is determined whether or not the common document structure having the name set in the variable GenName is in the user's personal library. If not, step 10
4. If yes, go to step 105. In step 104, the company-wide library 1301 is searched for the common document structure having the name set in the variable GenName. In step 105, the common document structure found in the personal library or the company-wide library is passed to the editing program 1207 or the allocation program 1208.

On the other hand, in step 403, the name of the default common document structure library is set in the variable LibName. In step 205, the name of the common document structure designated by the user is read and set in the variable GenName. In step 206, the common document structure having the name set in the variable GenName is searched for in the library set in the variable LibName. Then, the above step 105
Proceed to.

On the other hand, in step 404, the name of the most recently used common document structure library is set in the variable LibName. Then, the process proceeds to step 205.

According to the fourth example described above, by hierarchizing the common document structure library, a highly versatile common document structure and a customized common document structure can be registered under the same name. , The user need only remember one name. Then, since which library of the common document structure library is to be used is determined according to the usage mode set by the user, the common document structure having a structure suitable for the purpose can be quickly used, and the document can be efficiently processed. In addition, the usage modes include a mode for automatically selecting the most recently used common document structure library and a mode for automatically selecting the default common document structure library preset in advance for each user. It is also possible not to specify the name of the document structure library, which improves the operability. If the use mode is provided with a mode for automatically selecting the most recently used common document structure or a mode for automatically selecting the default common document structure preset in advance by the user, the user can use the common document structure. It is also possible not to specify the name of, which further improves the operability.

FIG. 16 shows the common document structure retrieval program 1
21 is a flowchart of a fifth example of common document structure search processing by 210. FIG. In step 501, when the user specifies a combined name that combines the name of the common document structure library and the name of the common document structure, it is read, the name of the common document structure library is extracted from the combined name, and the variable L
Set to ibName. Further, the name of the common document structure is extracted from the combined name and set in the variable GenName. An example of the combined name is that the name of the common document structure is set in the front part and the name of the common document structure library is set in the rear part. In step 206,
The common document structure having the name set in the variable GenName is searched in the library set in the variable LibName.
In step 105, the common document structure found in the personal library or the company-wide library is edited by the editing program 1207.
Alternatively, it is passed to the allocation program 1208.

According to the fifth example described above, by hierarchizing the common document structure library, a highly versatile common document structure and a customized common document structure can be registered under the same name. , The user need only remember one name. Then, the user can specify the name of the common document structure to be used and the name of the common document structure library in which it is registered at a time, so that the common document structure having the desired structure can be used quickly and the efficiency can be improved. Can process documents well. In addition, operability can be improved.

Common document structure upgrade registration program 121
When the user instructs to register the common document structure used by the user in the personal library in the company-wide library 1301, 1 registers the common document structure in the personal library in the company-wide library 1301. The common document structure upgrade registration program 1211 may automatically delete the common document structure in the personal library after the upgrade registration. By registering the upgrade, many users can use a more appropriate common document structure.

[0057]

According to the document processing system of the present invention, it is possible to suitably manage a highly versatile common document structure and a customized common document structure. Also, it becomes possible to automatically select and use a common document structure with a high probability of being used. Also, a common document structure having a structure suitable for the purpose can be quickly selected and used. Also, a predetermined common document structure can be automatically selected and used without the user having to specify the library. Also, the name of the common document structure to be used and the name of the library in which it is registered can be designated at one time. Furthermore, it becomes possible to upgrade and register the common document structure of the local library to the global library.
