The present invention relates to a font processing technique for maintaining the layout of an electronic document. More specifically, the present invention may be used to display or print electronic documents (eg, word files, presentation files, etc.) on user terminals (eg, smartphones, smart pads, digital set-top boxes, etc.). The present invention relates to a font processing technology that maintains the layout of the original document as much as possible even when the original font is not installed in the application program of the user terminal.

When opening an electronic document such as a word file (DOC file) or a presentation file (PPT file) by executing an application program (for example, a POLARIS OFFICE program) on various user terminals such as a smartphone, a smart pad, or a digital set-top box, By default, fonts for each character in the document are displayed on the screen.

However, if the original font used in the electronic document, that is, the original font is not installed in the user terminal and cannot be used, it was implemented in various ways according to the designer's choice.

First, if the environment is similar to a personal computer, the font data of the original font can be downloaded and applied in real time through the high-speed Internet.

However, this method is difficult to apply in a mobile terminal such as a smart phone or a smart pad, because the mobile Internet communication environment is generally slow and users do not like the situation that the responsiveness is degraded. Accordingly, these mobile terminals implement similar fonts or basic fonts as substitute fonts. In this case, since the original font and the substitute font have different sizes of characters (characters), layout problems may occur in screen display or printed output.

In order to reduce the number of occurrences of such a phenomenon, conventionally, there is an attempt to embed as much font data as possible in a user terminal. However, this does not only incur a significant cost for the font license, but because there is a limit on the size of the binary data that can be mounted on the user terminal has only a few built-in problem is inherently incomplete approach.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a diagram showing an entire system in which a font processing method for maintaining an electronic document layout according to the present invention is implemented. Referring to FIG. 1, the user terminal 10 performs data transmission / reception with the MBS management server 30 through the communication network 20, and the MBS management server 30 operates the database 31.

The user terminal 10 is a device utilized by a general user to open an electronic document to confirm contents. Generally, it is made in the form of smart phone, smart pad, digital set-top box, etc., and a document viewer application is installed, and the electronic document is opened and implemented on the display screen.

The font management terminal 40 generates and provides data related to the font. The font management terminal 40 may be a computer managed by a company that has authored a specific font, a computer managed by a person who writes an electronic document, a company that manufactures an Android smartphone (e.g., Samsung Electronics, Apple), or may be a computer operated by a vendor (e.g., Infraware) that supplies an electronic document viewer application that incorporates the technology of the present invention.

The font management terminal 40 generates the MBS table 15a which is font related data, and uploads the MBS table 15a to the MBS management server 30 through the communication network 20 to share the generated MBS table 15a. To this end, the font management program executed by the font management terminal 40 preferably has an upload menu for registering the MBS table 15a in the font list, in addition to the function of generating font-related data.

The MBS management server 30 includes a database 31 to manage the font related data (i.e., MBS table) uploaded from the font management terminal 40 in a font list and to provide the font related data to the user terminal 10 to provide. It is preferable that the MBS management server 30 is managed by a vendor (e.g., a terminal vendor) that maintains the performance of the user terminal 10 or a provider of the document viewer application.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the font management terminal 40 and the MBS management server 30 may be integrally implemented. In this case, the MBS management server 30 generates font-related data (ie, MBS table) for a specific font. It also has a function to. Accordingly, in response to a request from the user terminal 10, the MBS management server 30 can generate and provide the MBS table 15a for a specific font in real time.

2 is a diagram illustrating an internal configuration of a font management terminal 40 in which a font processing method for maintaining an electronic document layout according to the present invention is implemented. The font management terminal 40 generates and provides data related to various original fonts used in an electronic document. Referring to FIG. 2, the font management terminal 40 includes an input / output unit 41, a transmission / reception unit 42, a font management control unit 43, an MBS generation module 44, and a storage unit 45. The MBS generation module 44 includes the MBS information generating means 44a and the MBS uploading means 44b. Hereinafter, the font management terminal 40 will be described in detail based on the configuration of the MBS generating module 44. .

The MBS information generating means 44a generates an MBS table 45a for various fonts used in the original electronic document. The MBS table 45a stores reference size information ). At this time, the MBS table 45a is provided for each font, and the information included in the MBS table 45a is information corresponding to the display size of each character in the corresponding font. At this time, it is desirable that the font size and the screen resolution are set to a reference value (e.g., the font size is 10 and the resolution is 320x240).

In the present invention, twips are assumed as the unit of the character size. A twip is a resolution (dpi) mapping, where 1 twip is 1 inch divided by 1440, and a typical Windows 96 dpi tweep per pixel is 1440/96 and 15 twips. The MBS engine module 14 obtains a twips unit size through graphic processing on a specific character of a specific font (for example, the letter 'A' in the Arial font). When displaying on a display screen, the MBS engine module 14 truncates or rounds It is implemented in pixel units. For example, for the letter 'A', if the size is 150 twips, then 10 pixels (150/15 = 10); Process.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the character size input to the MBS table 45a can be set in units of twips for precise control. However, in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to define a medium unit (for example, 1 MBS (Mapping Base Size) = 200 twips) in order to overcome the excessive computational load, .

In addition, although the horizontal and vertical sizes of the characters can be handled, the layout of the electronic document greatly depends on the horizontal size, so that the MBS table 45a may be configured to handle only the horizontal size.

In addition, a physical value (for example, 87 twips, 2.5 MBS) may be described as the reference size information of a character, but a relative ratio (for example, 1.2 times, 0.8 times) to the basic font (reference font) may be input. In this case, when the user terminal 10 displays the electronic document on the screen, a number of decimal point calculations are performed, and the information expression method is selected in consideration of the decimal point calculation capability of the user terminal 10. [

The MBS uploading means 44b transmits the MBS table 45a generated by the MBS information generating means 44a to the MBS management server 30 via the communication network 20 and is thereby registered in the font list on the database 31 do. The MBS management server 30 maintains the MBS table 45a for various fonts in a font list.

That is, the font management terminal 40 generates an MBS table 45a for individual fonts and transmits the MBS table 45a to the MBS management server 30. The MBS management server 30 aggregates these MBS tables 45a and stores the font list Maintenance. For example, the font list includes an MBS table 45a for about 100 fonts. A list of fonts managed and maintained by the MBS management server 30 is provided to the user terminal 10 so that the user terminal 10 can display font lists for two or three basic fonts, To correspond to all the fonts.

Generally, the storage unit 45 is a module that provides a space for storing various data necessary for the operation of the font management terminal 40. The storage unit 45 includes a RAM, a ROM, a flash memory, an MRAM (magnetic RAM), and a PRAM. (Phase change RAM), FRAM (ferroelectric RAM), web disk, cloud disk, and the like. In connection with the present invention, the storage unit 45 temporarily stores the MBS table 45a. The MBS table 45a is a table showing information on the size when the display screen is implemented for each character in a specific font. Font size and screen resolution are preferably set to a reference value (eg, font size 10, resolution 320 × 240).

On the other hand, the font management control unit 43 controls generation and uploading of the MBS table 45a in the MBS generation module 44. [

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which the MBS management server 30 generates a font list by using the MBS table 45a in the present invention.

First, the MBS generation module 44 of the font management terminal 40 obtains font sizes for various fonts used for electronic document creation and arranges them in a table, thereby creating an MBS table 45a for each font (S11). On the other hand, it is preferable that alternate font information to be recommended for the corresponding font is also stored in the MBS table 45a.

After step S11, the MBS generation module 44 transmits the MBS table 45a to the MBS management server 30 through the communication network 20 (S12).

After step S12, the MBS management server 30 collects the MBS table 45a provided from the various font management terminals 40 and maintains a font list on the database 31 (S13).

After step S13, the MBS management server 30 waits for the provision of the font list according to the request from the external user terminal 10 (S14). Through this, the font list is provided to the user terminal 10 from the MBS management server 30 in accordance with the request to the font processing process for maintaining the layout when the user terminal 10 opens the electronic document to display or print on the screen It is utilized, which will be described later.

4 is a diagram illustrating an internal configuration of a user terminal 10 in which a font processing method for maintaining an electronic document layout according to the present invention is implemented. Referring to FIG. 4, the user terminal 10 includes an input / output unit 11, a transceiver 12, a terminal controller 13, an MBS engine module 14, a storage unit 15, and a document viewer application 16. , Document printing application 17 is made.

In addition, referring to FIG. 4, the MBS engine module 14 includes a font list sharing unit 14a, a font information extracting unit 14b, a font size calculating unit 14c, a font size calculating unit 14c, and a font implementation. A means 14d is provided, and the storage unit 15 is provided with MBS table 15a for various fonts. Hereinafter, the user terminal 10 will be described in detail based on the configuration of the MBS engine module 14.

First, the font list sharing unit 14a receives the font list managed by the MBS management server 30 and updates the MBS table 15a including the per-character reference size information for each font. It is preferable that the font list sharing means 14a continuously receives the font list from the MBS management server 30 and manages the latest MBS table 15a. The MBS table 15a may be continuously used. Instead of storing font data (binary) for each font of the user terminal 10, the MBS table 15a for these fonts is provided. Meanwhile, for the purpose of the present invention, the MBS table 15a also stores size information for a substitute font (i.e., a basic font).

When the document viewer application 16 implements various fonts used in the electronic document as the user terminal 10 opens a specific electronic document, the font information extracting means 14b extracts the font information, Extracts the reference size information for each character of the original font from the MBS table 15a. In addition, the font information extracting means 14b extracts the reference size information for each character from the MBS table 15a in place of the original font, that is, the substitute font.

The font size calculation means 14c acquires a font size to be used for each character set in the electronic document when the character is set as an original font in an alternative font. To this end, the font size calculation means 14c calculates, in the MBS table 15a, Reference size information set in the substitute font is referred to. In the present specification, the font sizes in the original font and the alternative font are referred to as the original font size and the alternative font size, respectively.

For example, assume that for the letter 'A', the original font is set to a reference size of 79 MBS and the alternate font is set to a reference size of 67 MBS. If the font size 16 is set for the character 'A' in the electronic document Happydays.docx (that is, the original font size is 16), the display size of the character is 126.4 MBS (or 25280 twips) by (79 × 1.6 = 126.4) to be. That is, if the character 'A' set as the font size 16 in the electronic document is implemented as the original font, it is expressed in the size of 126.4 MBS on the screen.

If the letter 'A' is implemented as a substitute font, the reference size is 67 MBS (126.4 ÷ 67 = 1.88), and accordingly, the font size is set to 18 or 19 for the letter A in the substitute font considering the reference font size 10. It can be seen that it should be set to (i.e. alternative font size = 18 or 19). In other words, the letter 'A' of font size 16 in the original font has to be set to 18 or 19 in the alternative font so that the layout of the display or printed material remains similar to the original.

Other types of operations are possible to achieve the same conclusion. That is, the ratio between the original font and the substitute font is obtained for the character 'A', and the ratio is multiplied by the original font size set for the character 'A' in the electronic document. In the example above, the MBS ratio between the original font and the alternate font is 1.18 (ie, 79 ÷ 67 = 1.18), and multiplying this value by the original font size of 16 yields an alternate font size value of 18.88. As a result, the replacement font results in a font size of 18 or 19, which is the same as the previous calculation result.

In the present specification, one character 'A' is taken as an example, but the same method is applied to other characters B and C or numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) and special symbols and characters .

When the electronic document is implemented in the input / output unit 11, the font implementing unit 14d forms a screen by using the substitute font and the substitute font size for each character. In general, it is necessary to perform the above process individually for all the texts of the electronic document. However, if the overall response is poor due to a large computing load as compared with the computing performance, the object in the document is sensitive to layout (for example, Quot; portion ").

On the other hand, when the font information extracting means 14b determines that the reference size information can not be extracted from the MBS table 15a by the font information extracting means 14b, the font implementing means 14b simply expresses the reference size information on the input / output unit 11 as an alternative font .

When an electronic document is opened in the user terminal 10 which can be implemented as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a smart pad, a PC terminal or the like through the above-described configuration, if there is no application program exactly matching the document format, ) To open an electronic document. For example, when opening a docx file created by the MS Word 2010 program on the user terminal 10, if there is no MS Word 2010 program on the user terminal 10, an effect of opening the docx document by executing the MS word viewer instead Lt; / RTI > In the alternative application program, there is a high possibility that there is no font used in the original program. At this time, if the original layout is maintained to the maximum through the font processing as described above, there is no complaint.

Meanwhile, the storage unit 15 is a space for storing various codes and data for the operation of the terminal control unit 13, and particularly stores an MBS table 15a for various fonts. At this time, the storage unit 15 is not limited to the form embedded in the user terminal 10, and a method of accessing through the network is also possible.

In addition, the document viewer application 16 represents a set of various applications for opening an electronic document and displaying it on the input / output unit 11. By performing layout maintenance font processing in the MBS engine module 14, the original layout is maintained as much as possible on the display screen displayed by the document viewer application 16 on the input / output unit 11.

In addition, the document printing application 17 represents a set of program function modules for printing the opened electronic document through a printer (not shown). By performing layout maintenance font processing in the MBS engine module 14, the original layout is maintained as much as possible in the printed matter printed out by the document printing application 17 through the printer.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of performing layout maintaining font processing using the MBS table 15a in the present invention.

First, the MBS engine module 14 receives the font list and sets the MBS table 15a for a plurality of fonts (S21). In one embodiment, the MBS engine module 14 receives the font list from the MBS management server 30 via the communication network 20, and updates the MBS table 15a including per-character reference size information by character.

That is, the MBS engine module 14 continuously updates the font list, and the MBS table 15a for each font is provided accordingly. The font data (binary data) for each font is not stored in the storage unit 15 of the user terminal 10 but the MBS table 15a is provided. Meanwhile, the MBS table 15a may be recorded in the storage unit 15 when the user terminal 10 is initially manufactured or the document viewer application 16 is first installed, and may not be updated after that. The important point is that the user terminal 10 constructs the MBS table 15a.

After step S21, the document viewer application 16 of the user terminal 10 opens a specific electronic document (S22). As the electronic document is opened in the user terminal 10, the MBS engine module 14 extracts the original font used in the electronic document and selects an alternative font to replace the original font.

At this time, the MBS engine module 14 acquires reference size information on the original font used in the electronic document from the MBS table 15a (S23). At this time, the MBS engine module 14 also acquires the reference size information for the substitute font from the MBS table 15a.

In accordance with the execution of step S23, the MBS engine module 14 determines whether information on the original font can be extracted from the MBS table 15a (S24).

As a result of the determination in step S24, if it is impossible to extract the reference size information for the original font, the MBS engine module 14 performs a basic implementation with an alternative font (S25). In this case, a deformation of the document layout is expected.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S24 that the reference size information can be extracted from the original font, the font processing according to the present invention is started for all the characters or layout-sensitive objects included in the electronic document (S26).

For this purpose, when implementing each character of the electronic document, the MBS engine module 14 sets the reference size information (MBS value) of the original font for the character, the reference size information (MBS value) of the substitute font, The font size in the substitute font, that is, the substitute font size, which comprehensively reflects the font size so that the display layout is kept approximately (S27). A concrete method of calculating the substitute font size that allows the display layout to be approximately maintained from this information has been described in detail with respect to the font size calculating means 14c.

Then, the MBS engine module 14 sets the substitute font and substitute font size for the corresponding character of the electronic document (S28).

Through this, the character is displayed on the screen or output on the printed matter using the set substitute font and the substitute font size (S29).

6 is a flowchart showing another embodiment of a process of performing layout maintaining font processing using the MBS table 15a in the present invention.

First, the document viewer application 16 of the user terminal 10 opens a specific electronic document (S31). As the electronic document is opened in the user terminal 10, the MBS engine module 14 extracts the original font used in the electronic document and selects an alternative font to replace the original font.

After the step S31, the MBS engine module 14 of the user terminal 10 requests the MBS table for the original font used in the electronic document to the MBS management server 30, The MBS table of the original font is received (S32). At this time, if the MBS management server 30 has previously provided the MBS table for the original font, the MBS management server 30 finds the MBS table from the database 31 and provides the MBS table to the user terminal 10. On the contrary, when the MBS management server 30 fails to provide the MBS table for the original font in advance, the MBS management server 30 is integrally formed with the font management terminal 40, and generates MBS tables in real time from the MBS management server 30 and provides them to the user terminal 10 .

After step S32, the MBS engine module 14 acquires reference size information for the original font used in the electronic document and the substitute font for replacing it, from the MBS table 15a (S33). At this time, the MBS table 15a for the original font utilizes the data provided in step S32.

Meanwhile, the MBS table 15a for the substitute font may be configured to be further requested to be provided to the MBS management server 30 in step S32, and is more preferably configured to be embedded in the user terminal 10. [ Since the user terminal 10 operates about two to three alternative fonts, the MBS table for these substitute fonts is built in the MBS table 15a of the storage unit 15 in advance. Even when the MBS table 15a for the substitute font is provided from the MBS management server 30, it is preferable to arrange the electronic document in advance before opening the electronic document.

The processing after step S33 is the same as that described above with reference to FIG. 5, and therefore, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The present invention can also be embodied in the form of computer readable code on a computer readable recording medium. At this time, the computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored.

Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage, and the like, and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave . The computer-readable recording medium can also be stored and executed by a computer-readable code in a distributed manner on a networked computer system. And functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the present invention can be easily deduced by programmers skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed in the present specification and drawings, and although specific terms have been used, they have been used only in a general sense to easily describe the technical contents of the present invention and to facilitate understanding of the invention. And is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
