The placement unit 117 places the at least one object on the electronic document according to the object placement layout information selected by the user based on the at least one object assigned priority.

Hereinafter, an operation of the electronic document editing apparatus 110 based on automatic object arrangement according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for describing a process of automatically arranging at least one object input by a user by the automatic document arrangement based electronic document editing apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the priority database 111 stores priority information for assigning priorities in the order of tables, images, charts, and figure objects, and the layout database 112 stores the priority information on the electronic document as shown in Table 1 above. Assume that a plurality of predetermined object arrangement layout information associated with an object arrangement position is stored.

2, when the user inserts the image 211, the table 212, the figure 1 213, and the figure 2 214 on the electronic document, the object input unit 113. ) May receive an image 211, a table 212, a figure 1 213, and a figure 2 214 to be inserted into the electronic document from the user.

In this case, the separator 114 checks the attribute values for the image 211, the table 212, the figure 1 213, and the figure 2 214 to determine the image 211, the table 212, and the figure 1 213. ) And figure 2 (214) can be classified by type.

In this regard, the separator 114 may classify the image 211 into an image object based on the image attribute value set in the image 211, and divide the image 211 into an image based on the table attribute value set in the table 212. 212 may be classified as a table object, and the shapes 1 213 and 2 214 may be divided into figure objects based on the figure property values set in the shapes 1 213 and 2 214. .

As such, when the classification by type for the image 211, the table 212, the first figure 213, and the second figure 214 is completed, the allocator 115 is assigned to the priority information stored in the priority database 111. Priority may be assigned to the image 211, the table 212, the figure 1 213, and the figure 2 214 based on this.

In the present exemplary embodiment, since the priority database 111 stores priority information for assigning priorities in order of tables, images, charts, and figure objects, the assigning unit 115 is assigned to the first order with respect to the table 212. The priority may be assigned to the corresponding priority, and the priority corresponding to the second priority may be assigned to the image 211.

However, since the first figure 213 and the second figure 214 are the same type of objects, separate criteria are required to assign priority to the first figure 213 and the second figure 214.

In this regard, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the allocation unit 115, if there is more than one of the same kind of at least one object input from the user, the electronic of the two or more of the same kind of objects It may be configured to assign a higher priority to the object first inserted on the document.

Therefore, when the figure 1 213 is an object inserted into the electronic document earlier than the figure 2 214 by the user among the figure 1 213 and the figure 2 214, the allocator 115 assigns the figure 1 to the figure 1. The priority corresponding to the third rank may be allocated to 213, and the priority corresponding to the fourth rank may be allocated to the figure 2 214.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when two or more objects of the same type are inserted in the electronic document by the user, a priority database (in order to assign priority to the two or more objects of the same type) may be used. 111 may store predetermined auxiliary priority information associated with the assignment of the priority to a plurality of color values, wherein the assigning unit 115 may be an object of the same type among at least one entity input from the user. If two or more exist, check the color value for the two or more of the same kind of objects and then for the two or more of the same kind of objects based on the selected subpriority information stored in the priority database 111. It may be configured to assign a priority according to the identified color value.

For example, auxiliary priority information is stored in the priority database 111 in order of red, blue, and yellow, and the color of figure 1 213 is red and figure 2 214 is yellow. If it is assumed, the assigning unit 115 may allocate priority corresponding to three ranks for the first figure 213 based on the auxiliary priority information stored in the priority database 111, and the second figure 214. Priority can be assigned to the 4th priority for.

In this way, the allocator 115 assigns priorities according to the types of the objects inserted on the electronic document, and when two or more objects of the same type exist, the higher priority is assigned to the inserted objects first. It may be configured to assign a priority based on color values for two or more of the same kind of entity.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the assigning unit 115 selects the stored information in the priority database 111 when two or more objects of the same type exist among the at least one object inserted by the user. Priority may be assigned according to color values for two or more of the same kind of objects based on the supplementary priority information. If the color values between the two or more same kinds of objects are also identical to each other, Priorities can be assigned to objects of the same kind in the order in which they are inserted in the electronic document.

For example, the assigning unit 115 assigns priorities based on the color value of the first figure 213 and the color value of the second figure 214, but the color of the first figure 213 is red, and the second figure 214 is assigned. If the color of is also red, the allocator 115 may assign a higher priority to the first inserted figure on the electronic document among the first figure 213 and the second figure 214.

As such, when assignment of priorities for the image 211, the table 212, the figure 1 213, and the figure 2 214 is completed, the selection input unit 116 is stored in the layout database 112 from the user. A selection command for object placement layout information to be applied to the image 211, the table 212, the figure 1 213, and the figure 2 214 may be input among the plurality of selected object arrangement layout information.

Second object size: 2cm wide by 1cm high
3rd object size: 3cm wide by 2cm high
Fourth object size: 3cm wide by 2cm high About object size layout 2 Priority object size: 1cm wide by 1cm high
Second object size: 2cm wide by 2cm high
3rd object size: 3cm wide by 3cm high
Fourth object size: 4 cm wide and 4 cm high ... ...

In this case, the selection input unit 116 selects at least one object size layout information to be applied by the user from among the plurality of selected object size layout information stored in the layout database 112 from the user. Can be input.

In this case, the arrangement unit 117 adjusts the size of the at least one object according to the object size layout information selected by the user based on the priority assigned to the at least one object, and then assigns the at least one object to the at least one object. The at least one object whose size is adjusted according to the object arrangement layout information selected by the user based on the assigned priority may be disposed on the electronic document.

For example, the user has applied a selection command for “object size layout information 1” of the plurality of selected object size layout information shown in Table 2, and the plurality of predetermined object arrangement layout information shown in Table 1 above. When the selection command for "object arrangement layout information 1" is applied, the placement unit 117 is assigned priority in order of table 212, image 211, figure 1 213 and figure 2 214. Based on the ranking, according to the "object size layout information 1" selected by the user, the size of the table 212 can be adjusted to "5 cm wide and 4 cm high", and the size of the image 211 is "2 cm wide and 1 cm high." ", The size of figure 1 (213) can be adjusted to" width 3cm, length 2cm ", and the size of figure 2 (214) can be adjusted to" width 3cm, length 2cm ".

Then, the placement unit 117 selects " object placement layout information 1 " selected by the user based on the priorities assigned in the order of the table 212, the image 211, the figure 1 213 and the figure 2 214. As shown by reference numeral 220, objects may be arranged from the top to the bottom of the electronic document in the order of the table 212, the image 211, the figure 1 213, and the figure 2 214.
