BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of processing a hyperlink of a document created using a computer. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of creating a document using various markup languages through a computer device such as a personal computer (PC). It is to enable effective hyperlinking of a part of the contents of the document being created with other documents.

With the development of computer and program technology used by individuals, various technologies are being used that make it possible to conveniently write documents using a computer. In particular, due to the development of communication network technologies such as the Internet network and mobile communication network, document creation or expression technology for effectively using documents on a communication network has been developed.

Examples thereof include markup languages such as Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), Extensible HTML (XHTML), and Extensible Markup Language (XML).

The markup language is a language for specifying the structure of data using various markup information such as a tag, and is also called a page description language. Most markup languages are designed to increase portability.

In addition to the document content, documents written in these markup languages can be formatted for the document, such as the logical structure or structure of the document, specify how the document content is indexed or browsed, or provide words or phrases within the document content. Markup information is added to specify how to link an element with other documents.

In other words, the document editor that allows the document to be edited using the markup language includes a function that allows a hyperlink with another document (or another page) to a certain portion of the document. Therefore, clicking on the part of the document that contains the hyperlinked part gives you instant access to the linked document.

However, the hyperlink dialing function provided in the conventional text editor has various inconveniences.

For example, if you are trying to modify or create a new hyperlink in a document stored on your computer device or on a web site on which you have an account, or you are connected to an internet site, such as a bulletin board or blog. Even if a web document can be directly edited by a user, it is inconvenient to search for a document or a uniform resource locator (URL) in order to modify or create a new hyperlink.

In the case of Wiki services that support Wiki Markup, a wiki-specific markup language, such as square brackets, is entered in the edit window and the page title inside the wiki is automatically created to create links between pages within the wiki. . However, even in this case, the user must remember the title of the page to be linked.

In addition, most conventional text editors are configured to use a mouse to make hyperlinks, so to stop hyperlinking of input contents while typing content of a document using a keyboard, stop using the keyboard and use a mouse. must do it. Even text editors configured to link using the keyboard have the inconvenience of having to stop typing and move the cursor back to the beginning of the article to select the area to link to. This can be an obstacle to the flow of writing in typing the contents of the document.

In addition, the conventional text editor treats a bundle of English letters and numbers as a single word when selecting a word, but treats Korean and English letters or a bundle of letters as a number of words. Since the characteristics are not taken into consideration, it is inconvenient for the user to select the desired part easily and not to place a hyperlink. As an example, if the user selects a word to hyperlink the portion of '21st century boy', only '21st century boy' is selected, not '21st century boy'.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and if you want to hyperlink to a certain portion of the document currently being edited, it is possible to find and display a document related to the selected content, and to select among them. It provides a hyperlink processing method that allows you to handle the process by using keyboard shortcuts, and allows you to select exactly the words you want without moving the cursor, and to handle hyperlinks easily and conveniently without having to remember various document information. There is a purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, a hyperlink processing method of a document created using a computer according to the present invention is currently being written in a document editor that allows a user to create a document using a markup language through a computer device. Inputting a hyperlink processing instruction for a specific portion of the document; The document editor finding a document related to the specific part among other documents stored in a certain data storage space and displaying the list on the screen of the computer device to select a desired document; And if the document editor selects any document among the displayed documents, hyperlinking the selected document with the selected document.

The hyperlink processing command may be configured to be input using a preset shortcut key from a keyboard of the computer device.

The document editor may be configured to determine, as the specific part, the first blank appearing immediately before the cursor position or the character immediately after the various punctuation marks when the hyperlink processing command is input to the character appearing immediately before the cursor position.

The markup language may be HTML, SGML, XHTML, XML, or the like.

The data storage space to find whether there is a document related to the specific part is connected to the computer device of the user through a communication network and the web service system for allowing the user to store the document created by the document editor of the user's account It can be configured to include data storage space allocated to.

The document editor may be configured to set a document title for each document, and may be configured to select a document including content of the specific part in the document title as a document to be displayed in the list.

In addition, the document editor may be configured to select a document in which the content of the specific part is included in a predetermined part of the body content of each document as a document to be displayed in the list.

The document editor may be configured to hyperlink a new document having a content of the specific part as a document title when there is no document to be displayed in the list or when no document is selected in the list.

Also, in the method of processing a hyperlink of a document created using the computer, when a shortcut key of a hyperlink processing command for an external document is input from the keyboard while the list is displayed, a URL for designating a location of the external document is input. Displaying an external document input window capable of being opened; And hyperlinking a specific portion of the document currently being written and the input URL.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, a computer device 11 in which a document editor is installed to allow a user to edit a document may be configured in various ways such as a desktop computer, a notebook computer, and various mobile communication devices.

To describe the outline of the computer device 11, the control unit 11-1 is responsible for the overall control of the computer device 11, and is generally configured using a central processing unit (CPU). . Read only memory (ROM) 11-2 stores a BIOS including basic routines for transferring information between internal components of the computer device 11 during startup time, and includes a random access memory (RAM) 11-2. Temporarily stores various data and computer program codes necessary for the operation of the computer device 11.

The input unit 11-4 allows a user to input a desired control command or various information to the computer device 11, and generally includes a keyboard and a mouse. The display unit 11-5 is a component for visually displaying a screen such as a CRT monitor or an LCD module, and includes an interface such as a video adapter.

The storage unit 11-7 is configured by using a nonvolatile storage medium that stores digital data such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a flash memory, and connects the control unit 11-1 to the storage medium. Contains interfaces.

The communication unit 11-6 enables the computer device 11 to communicate with the communication network 12 in a wired or wireless manner, and includes a network interface therefor. 1 shows an example in which the computer device 11 is connected to a web service system 13 that provides various Internet services when the communication network 12 is an Internet network.

On the other hand, the document editor is stored in a storage medium such as a hard disk drive constituting the storage unit 11-7 of the computer device 11 and driven in accordance with a user's execution command to create a document. At this time, the user can upload the document created by using the text editor to the web service system 13 having an account, and then access it through the communication network 12.

In addition, the web service system 13 provides a document editor to the computer device 11 connected via the communication network 12 so that the user can access the communication network even if the user does not have a document editor on his or her computer device 11 independently. You can service a document for online editing. At this time, the document created by the user may be stored and managed in the data storage space allocated to the user account of the web service system 13.

In addition, the web service system 13 may provide a service that allows a user connected through a communication network such as a bulletin board or a blog to directly edit a post or blog content while online.

As described above, a user creates a document using a text editor that can be provided through various paths.

Here, the text editor is a computer program that makes it easy to create documents using various markup languages such as Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), Extensible HTML (XHTML), and Extensible Markup Language (XML). Documents created in a text editor generally have a structure that can be effectively used on a communication network.

These text editors allow users to write documents directly at the source level using various markup languages, but users who do not know the markup language can use it as easily as using a text editor that does not use markup languages. It is configured to allow editing and to convert the edited document into source code of markup language.

Referring to FIG. 2, the document editor 20 may include a document editing module 21, a document conversion module 22, a document interpretation module 23, and the like.

The document editing module 21 allows a user to use various document editing functions such as creating a new document, importing an existing document, saving an edited document, or specifying a size or color of a text. By providing a user interface (UI) for document editing, a user can create a document that can be processed using a corresponding markup language.

The document conversion module 22 converts a document created by the document editing module 21 into source code using a corresponding markup language, and the document interpretation module 23 is a document conversion module 22. It interprets the source code using the converted markup language and outputs it according to its usage.

Meanwhile, since one document is a unit for managing a certain range of contents, the document may mean a page. For example, if one management unit is displayed as a document, and one document includes several pages and can be managed by each page unit, 'document' may also be understood as 'page' in all the following descriptions. have.

An embodiment of a hyperlink processing method of a document created using a computer according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

A user creates a desired document by using a document editor stored in the computer device 11 or a document editor provided by the web service system 13 through the communication network 12. If a document needs to be hyperlinked to a specific part of the document currently being created while creating a document, a hyperlink processing command is input (S31).

The method for inputting a hyperlink processing command in step S31 can be variously configured. As an example, a user may drag a hyperlink among contents of a currently created document using a mouse, and then click a function button provided on the user interface screen of the text editor or use another mouse shortcut menu. You can enter a hyperlink processing command.

However, when a mouse is used, a user who types the contents of a document by using a keyboard may have an inconvenience in that the user stops using the keyboard for a while, and then proceeds with typing again using the keyboard.

As one method for solving such a problem, the keyboard of the computer device 11 may be configured to input a hyperlink processing command with a predefined shortcut key. Here, the shortcut key refers to any key combination set to simultaneously input one or more keys included in the keyboard. For example, you might have a Ctrl key and a Space key.

In addition, the method of determining a specific part, which is the content to be hyperlinked, in step S31 may be variously configured.

One example is to determine, as a specific portion, from the first space or the character immediately after the various punctuation marks that appear immediately before the cursor position when the hyperlink processing instruction is input, to the character that appears immediately before the position of the cursor.

Referring to FIG. 4, assuming that a user enters the sentence "I read yesterday's 21st century boy" on the document editing screen, a hyperlink processing command (eg, 'Ctrl key +' If you press the 'space key' key, '21st century boy' (B) is selected as a specific part.

By doing this, it is possible to improve the inconvenience caused in the text editor developed in the conventional English culture.

However, in the related art, when the word is selected in the above situation, only the 'century boy' (A) is selected, not the '21st century boy'. This is caused by treating a bunch of English letters and numbers as a single word, but treating Korean and English letters or a bunch of numbers as a single word. to be.

When the hyperlink processing command is input through step S31, the document editor searches for a document related to a specific part of other documents stored in a certain data storage space, and displays the list of retrieved documents on the screen of the computer device 11. Display and allow the user to select the desired document (S32).

Here, the data storage space means a data storage location where documents to be examined for relevance to a specific portion are located in step S32, and specifies a hard disk drive constituting the storage unit 11-7 of the user computer device 11. It may be a directory or a data storage space allocated to a user's account by a web service system 13 accessible through the communication network 12 to a data storage medium interworking with the web service system 13. In addition, the data storage space may be set as a default location where the document being created is located, but may be configured to set one or more locations as necessary.

On the other hand, when the content of a specific portion to be hyperlinked and other documents in the data storage space are determined to be related to each other, it can be variously configured as shown in the following example.

(1) Documents containing the contents of the specific part to be hyperlinked in the file name of the document can be judged as related documents.

(2) A document containing the content of a specific part to which hyperlink is placed in the title of the document can be judged as a related document.

In such an embodiment, the document editor is configured to set a title of a document in each document, and is configured to include a document in which the title of each document includes content of a specific part in the list.

As shown in the example shown in Fig. 5A, Documents # 1 to #n are stored in the corresponding data storage location, of which Document # 1 is titled "Patent Proposal" and the title of Document # 2 is "Company". "Why do I need a patent?", Document # 3 is titled "Travel Planning," Document # 9 is titled "Opinion Review by the Patent Office," and Document #n is titled "How to Win a Cough." Assume that there is.

In addition, as shown in the example shown in FIG. 5B, the user inputs a hyperlink processing instruction when the cursor is at the present cursor position while inputting, on the document editing screen, that the user decides to apply for a patent on the service technology of openmaru. Assume Then, 'patent' is selected as a specific part for hyperlinking, and document # 1, document # 2, and document # 9 including 'patent' among the titles of the documents shown in FIG. 5A are included in the list. Each document title may be displayed on the screen.

(3) A document containing the contents of a specific part of a document or a specific part of a document (eg, the first paragraph of the text) to which a hyperlink is to be determined may be regarded as a related document.

On the other hand, if any document in the document list displayed in step S32 is selected, the text editor hyperlinks the selected document with respect to a specific part of the document currently being created (S33).

For example, if the user selects the document title "Patent Proposal" among the example documents shown in FIG. 5A through step S32, hyperlink Document # 1 to 'Patent' which is a specific part of the content shown in FIG. 5B. Will be processed. Then, when a user who accesses this document later clicks on the 'patent' part, document # 1 appears.

Referring now to Figure 6, a more specific embodiment of the present invention will be described. Each shortcut key shown is only an example to help understand the description, and the shortcut key may be configured in various ways as necessary.

First, as illustrated in step S31 of FIG. 3, the user inputs a Ctrl key and a Space key defined as a shortcut key for a hyperlink processing command while creating a document.

Then, the document editor determines a specific part to be hyperlinked (S62), and searches for a document including the content of the specific part in the data storage space (S63). In operation S64, the document input window may be displayed to display the searched list so that the user may select a desired document.

An example of configuring the document input window 70 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. A tab 71 for linking an internal document and a tab 72 for linking an external document are included, and the tab 71 for linking an internal document is included. A portion 71-1 in which the contents of the specific portion determined in step S62 are displayed, and a portion 71-2 displaying the document title of the searched document list and allowing the user to select a desired document by using the arrow keys. It is.

If a user selects a document title in a portion 71-2 that allows the user to select a document and inputs a shortcut key (for example, an Enter key) for checking the document (S65, S66), as shown in FIG. 3, step S33. The process proceeds and all the link processing stops by hyperlinking the selected document with respect to the specific part of the document currently being created.

However, when a shortcut key (eg, an ESC key) defined as a cancellation of the hyperlink processing command is input (S67-1), the document input window 70 is erased and all the link processing procedures are terminated (S67-2).

Meanwhile, the present invention may be configured to hyperlink an external document or a new document in addition to each procedure described above.

That is, when a shortcut key for requesting external link processing (eg, 'Ctrl key + Space key') is input while the document input window 70 is displayed (S68-1), the tab 72 for external document link is activated. (S68-2). The tab 72 for external document linking is provided with an external document input window (not shown) for inputting a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of an external document, and the user inputs and confirms the URL in the external document input window. Key (e.g., enter key) (S68-3), hyperlinks the specific part determined in step S62 to the URL (S68-4), clears the document input window 70, and then executes the link processing procedure. All ends (S68-5).

At this time, if the user presses the shortcut key 'Ctrl + Space' once more while the tab 72 for external document link is activated, the tab 71 for internal document link is activated again. Of course, it can be configured to freely select between the tab 71 and the tab 72 for external document linking.

In addition, in step S64, none of the documents to be displayed in the list has been searched or a shortcut key for confirmation (for example, the Enter key) is entered without selecting any document in the section 71-2 that allows the user to select a document. In the case (S65, S66), after hyperlinking the new document having the content of the specific part determined in step S62 as the document title (S69-1), the document input window 70 is erased and all the link processing procedures are completed. It ends (S69-2).

Referring to FIG. 8, an example in which the content of a hyperlinked document is converted into source code according to a markup language according to the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 8A, when a user types “Contents of a 21st Century Boy” yesterday on a document editing screen without inputting a hyperlink processing command, source code of the following markup language is generated.

<p> I read a 21st century boy yesterday. </ p>

However, as shown in the example shown in Fig. 8B, when a user types "Contents of 21st Century Boy" yesterday on the document editing screen, he enters a hyperlink processing instruction when the cursor is at the current cursor position shown, and the user enters a document for a document. If you followed the hyperlink, the source code for the markup language would be generated:

<p> I read <a href='....'> 21st Century Boy </a> yesterday. </ p>

Here, the '....' part of the content that specifies the target document of the hyperlink is, of course.

The above-described embodiments are intended to help the understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be variously modified and implemented by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. to be.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the document related to the content to be hyperlinked is recommended among the contents of the document currently being created, the user can easily hyperlink even if the user does not remember the title of the desired document. Will be. In addition, hyperlinks can be processed using keyboard shortcuts, so that hyperlinks can be processed without interrupting the writing flow.

In addition, hyperlinks can be processed more naturally because the parts to be hyperlinked can be freely designated according to the characteristics of Hangul.

Accordingly, it is possible to create a web document more conveniently and conveniently, and as the number of documents managed by the user increases, the hyperlink processing at the time of document creation is drastically convenient.
