In the following description of the present invention, detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

In the present specification, when any one element 'transmits' data or signals to another element, the element can transmit the data or signal directly to the other element, and through at least one other element Data or signal can be transmitted to another component.

2 is a diagram illustrating an electronic document form using HTML and a data extraction system of an electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the electronic document form and data extraction system of the electronic document using HTML includes a user terminal 10, a communication network 20, and a groupware server 30.

The groupware subscription 30 is formed to define a data extraction criterion according to an access through the communication network 20 of the user terminal 10 when the electronic document including data is completed on the user terminal 10.

The communication network 20 is a communication network that is a high-speed period network of a large communication network capable of a large-capacity, long-distance voice and data service, and may be a next generation wired and wireless network for providing Internet or high-speed multimedia service. When the communication network 20 is a mobile communication network, it may be a synchronous mobile communication network or an asynchronous mobile communication network. As an embodiment of the asynchronous mobile communication network, a WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) communication network is exemplified. In this case, although not shown in the drawing, the communication network 20 may include a Radio Network Controller (RNC). Meanwhile, although the WCDMA network is exemplified, it may be a next generation communication network such as a 3G LTE network or a 4G network, or an IP network based on other IP. The communication network 20 serves to mutually transfer signals and data between the user terminal 10, the groupware server 30, and other systems.

Meanwhile, the user terminal 10 determines whether the selected electronic document is a data extractable document according to a selection signal for one of the created electronic documents, and if the extraction of the data is possible, the user terminal 10 transmits to the groupware server 30 through the communication network 20. Request defined data extraction criteria information.

Thereafter, the user terminal 10 extracts data from the selected electronic document based on the data extraction reference information and stores the electronic document and the extracted data separately.

Meanwhile, the user terminal 10 transmits and stores the selected electronic document and the extracted data to the groupware server 30 through the communication network 20.

And, the format of the electronic document created on the user terminal 10 is preferably HTML or JAVASCRIPT.

Meanwhile, a more detailed description will be given below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7 by the electronic document form and the data extraction method of the electronic document using HTML.

3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a data extraction method of an electronic document form and an electronic document using HTML according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 and 3, when an electronic document including data is created (S11), the user terminal 10 stores the electronic document (S12) and stores data separately (S13).

4 is a flowchart illustrating an electronic document form using HTML and a data extraction method of an electronic document according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 2 to 4, an electronic document including data is created in the user terminal 10 (S21).

After step S21, the user terminal 10 accesses the groupware server 30 through the communication network 20 to define data extraction criteria (S22).

After step S22, the user terminal 10 selects the electronic document created in step S21 (S23).

After step S23, the user terminal 10 determines whether the selected electronic document is a data extractable document (S24).

If it is impossible to extract the data as a result of the determination in step S24, the user terminal 10 stores the content after creating the electronic document (S25).

On the other hand, if it is possible to extract data as a result of the determination in step S24, the user terminal 10 requests the data extraction reference information defined in step S22 to the groupware server 30 through the communication network 20 (S26).

After step S26, the user terminal 10 determines whether a data extraction request has been received (S27).

When the data extraction request is received as a result of the determination in step S27, the user terminal 10 determines whether an error check on the extracted data is completed (S28).

When the error check is completed as a result of the determination in step S28, the user terminal 10 extracts data from the electronic document (S29).

On the other hand, when the error check is not completed as a result of the determination of step S28, the user terminal 10 returns to step S25.

After step S29 or when the data extraction request is not received as a result of the determination in step S27, the user terminal 10 transmits the electronic document and / or data to the groupware server 30 through the communication network 20. (S30).

Accordingly, the groupware server 30 stores the electronic document (S31a), and stores the data (S31b).

5 is a flowchart illustrating an electronic document form using HTML and a data extraction method of an electronic document according to a second embodiment of the present invention. 2 to 5, the user terminal 10 starts to produce an electronic document (S31). In other words, the electronic document is written in HTML and JAVASCRIPT. The appearance of the form can be configured in any form using the HTML TAG. To use data extraction, assign a unique ID to the item to be extracted when creating a form document, and define the extraction standard definition ID in which the extraction criteria are defined as XML.

The example defined in XML is as follows.

<XML ID = "NOPSPro">

<Command>

<Data extraction> {name of data extraction criteria} </ data extraction>

</ Command>

</ XML>

On the other hand, in order to use the data extraction, the ID setting of the extraction value and the criteria to extract the data when the form document is produced are specified through the above-mentioned {data extraction standard definition name}, and unique for each data to be extracted when setting the ID. It is preferable to assign one ID.

After step S31, the user terminal 10 performs data extraction criteria definition (S32). That is, the user terminal 10 accesses the groupware server 30 through the communication network 20 to define data extraction criteria for data extraction in the server. At this time, it is desirable to define in detail the extraction and storage criteria such as the criteria for checking the data format and validity of the item to be extracted (item assigned a unique ID), the location to be stored.

At this time, the data extraction criteria are the criteria for checking the data format and validity of the items to be extracted (items with unique IDs), and define the extraction and storage criteria such as the location to be stored in detail, and the extraction criteria definition is registered in the administrator program. It is desirable to.

In this case, the parameters of the extraction criteria definition may be as follows.

Firstly, it means the value entered in the extraction command when the form document is produced. Second, it means the number of data values repeated as the maximum data. Third, when specifying the format of data by field name, H means non-repeatable data and D means repeated data. Fourth, it is preferable to input the title of the corresponding field when searching the data list as the display title. Fifthly, the display order indicates the order of listing in the data list. Sixth, the display width means the width displayed in the data list. Seventh, the display format refers to the format to be displayed when processing data. Eighth, the extracted Object ID means the ID of the input item defined in the form document. Ninth, the value extraction standard refers to a standard when extracting a value from data. Tenth, it means a condition to process the data value extracted by the processing after the value extraction. Eleventh, the interlocking field name means the field name to be processed when interworking with another system. Secondly, it means whether or not the data must be entered as a required item.

After step S33, the user terminal 10 performs electronic document creation and data extraction (S33). More specifically, in the case of a document that analyzes an XML part to determine whether the current electronic document is a data extraction application document and extracts data, the user terminal 10 uses groupware to display detailed information defined for extracting data by {data extraction standard name}. Request to the server 30 and receive it. When the user saves the electronic document, it checks the validity of the input values according to the criteria defined in the data extraction, extracts the data from the document, organizes the information, and transmits it to the groupware server 30 together with the document content to extract it separately from the document content. The stored information in DB. Also, in this specification, a DB may mean a functional and structural combination of software and hardware for storing information corresponding to each database. The DB may be implemented as at least one table, and may further include a separate DBMS (Database Management System) for searching, storing, and managing information stored in the database. Also, it can be implemented in various ways such as a linked-list, a tree, and a relational database, and includes all data storage media and data structures capable of storing information corresponding to a database.

After step S33, the user terminal 10 performs a search and statistics (S34).

More specifically, the user terminal 10 provides a function of searching for extracted and stored data by specifying arbitrary criteria and converting the data into other types of data such as Excel. The items stored as numerical values are to provide extract data search and statistics calculation function, which allows the user to specify an arbitrary criterion and immediately generate statistics. The searched data can be converted into other forms of data such as Excel by searching / statistically calculating the data extracted and stored according to the user defined criteria from the created electronic document.

The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to automatically extract data from electronic documents to enable statistics and retrieval. The purpose of this is to automatically convert the data into an OFFICE program to facilitate secondary processing of the extracted data. In particular, by applying a structure that directly defines the criteria and format for extracting data, it is possible to freely extract and informatize data from electronic documents of various formats and contents produced for the business without modification or change of the program.

Meanwhile, FIGS. 6 and 7 are reference views illustrating an electronic document form using HTML and an electronic document to which the data extraction system and method of the electronic document are applied according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention can also be embodied as computer-readable codes on a computer-readable recording medium. A 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 device and the like, and also implemented in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission over the Internet) .

The computer readable recording medium may also be distributed over a networked computer system so that computer readable code can be stored and executed in a distributed manner. And functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the present invention can be easily inferred by programmers skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains.
