The document editing application 13 implements an existing document stored in the storage unit 15 in the input / output unit 11 in response to a user's request to load or a new document in response to a new document creation request to the input / output unit 11 ) So that editing or browsing of the electronic document implemented by the user is performed. In the present invention, it is assumed that the electronic document thus edited or browsed includes a list of level units set to one or more levels.

In the present invention, the storage unit 15 is a non-volatile memory implemented as a main storage device or an auxiliary storage device. The storage unit 15 may be a flash memory, an MRAM (Magnetic RAM), a PRAM ), FRAM (ferroelectric RAM), or the like.

2, the list editing application 14 includes a level unit searching unit 14a, a level unit extracting unit 14b, a correction range setting unit 14c, and a level unit editing unit 14d . Hereinafter, with reference to the components of the list editing application 14 with reference to FIG. 3 to FIG. 8, a detailed description will be given of the user terminal 10 on which the level-by-list editing method in the document editing application is implemented See you.

The level unit search unit 14a receives a level-based search function request generated by the input / output unit 11 according to a request of a user who has performed a document editing or document browsing function through the document editing application 13. [

The level unit extracting means 14b searches for the position of the cursor on the document implemented by the document editing application 13 in the coordinate format in response to the user requesting the level-based search function, Extract level units for the list on the document. That is, as shown in [Figure 3], "1. Bullet number / symbol of the first format", "Bullet number / symbol of the first format", "3. Bullet number / symbol of the first format" Assume a document with a list of Arabic numerals. In this document, the user places the cursor in the "second bullet / symbol of the first format" corresponding to the second time as shown in FIG. 4, and inputs a search function request of the level unit to the input / output unit 11 . In response to such a request, the level unit extracting unit 14b extracts a level unit for the Arabic numeric list.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, an example distinguished by a first level unit embodied in Arabic numerals, a second level unit embodied by circular Arabic numerals, and a third level unit separated by "" And the present invention is not limited thereto. The first level unit to the third level unit include one or more items, and the items included in each of the first level unit to the third level unit are referred to as the first to third lists in this specification.

The level unit extracting means 14b extracts the items included in the extracted level unit list up to a predetermined range on the document implemented by the document editing application 13. [ Here, the predetermined range may be set to items corresponding to pages on the input / output unit 11, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the items within the range of the entire document It is freely configurable.

The correction range setting means 14c can implement a "list popup window" including a check box for each item included in the level unit list extracted by the level unit extracting means 14b as shown in FIG. 5 .

The correction range setting unit 14c receives a response signal for determining the correction range generated by the input / output unit 11 according to the check of the check box in the list pop-up window of the user (S17). That is, the list pop-up window is implemented to perform an acceptance process for applying the same edit to the list checked through the check box.

After receiving the response signal from the correction range setting unit 14c, the level unit editing unit 14d analyzes the response signal and outputs the attribute edit command (input command) to the input / output unit 11 of the user Output unit 11 by performing the same editing of each item corresponding to the correction range according to the modified range.

On the other hand, the attribute editing command may be "indent request "," font attribute change request " Here, the indentation request is made to the list corresponding to the correction range among the lists having the same level unit designated as [FIG. 6 (a)] according to the indentation position designation on the UI screen ] So that a function capable of sorting at one time is performed.

In addition, the font attribute change request is a request to change the font size on the UI screen to the font size change request on the list corresponding to the correction range among the lists having the same level unit specified as shown in FIG. 7 (a) As shown in Fig. 7 (b), the function of changing the font size of the same level at the same time is performed.

Meanwhile, FIG. 7 illustrates an example of implementing a font size change request during a font attribute change request, but a font attribute change request may include a font color change request, a font gradient / underline change request, etc. in addition to a font size change request, It can be implemented to change a plurality of attributes. FIG. 8 shows an example in which a font attribute change request is implemented by including a font color change request, a font size change request, and a font skew / underline change request among the font attribute change requests.

FIG. 9 is an overall flowchart showing a method of editing by level unit list in the document editing application according to the present invention. The control unit 12 controls the document editing application 13 and the list editing application 14 in response to a user's request to execute the document editing application 13 through the input / output unit 11. [ Into the system memory area A (S11).

After step S11, the document editing application 13 implements the existing document stored in the storage unit 15 in the input / output unit 11 in response to the user's request to load or, in response to the new document creation request, (11), and then editing or browsing of the document is performed. In this case, it is assumed that the document being edited or viewed contains a list of level units set to one or more levels, and each list includes one or more items.

After step S12, the list editing application 14 receives a request for a level-based search function according to a request of a user who has performed a document editing or document browsing function through the document editing application 13 through the input / output unit 11 (S13).

Accordingly, the list editing application 14 searches the coordinates of the position of the cursor implemented by the document editing application 13 on the input / output unit 11 at the time of the search function request at step S13 of the user, The level unit for the list on the document corresponding to the searched position is extracted (S14).

After step S14, the list editing application 14 extracts the items included in the list of level units extracted in step S14 to a predetermined range (S15). The predetermined range may be set to a page on the input / output unit 11, which is currently implemented by the document editing application 13, but is not limited thereto and may be freely configurable within the range of the entire document.

After step S15, the list editing application implements, for each item extracted in step S15, a list popup window including a check box, for example, on the input / output unit 11 (S16).

The list editing application 14 searches the input / output unit 11 according to the input of the correction range indicating the item desired to be modified among the items implemented in the list popup window implemented in step S16, (S17). That is, the list pop-up window is implemented to perform a process for setting a correction range for applying the same editing to the list checked by the user through a check box.

After step S17, the list editing application 14 analyzes the response signal received in step S17, and modifies the response signal in accordance with the attribute editing command input to the input / output unit 11 of the user for items corresponding to the correction range The same editing of each item corresponding to the range is performed and implemented in the input / output unit 11 (S18).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an editing process (S18) of a list in a level-by-level list editing method in a document editing application according to the present invention in more detail. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the list editing application 14 analyzes the attribute editing command received from the input / output unit 11 (S21).

The list editing application 14 determines whether the attribute editing command in step S18 is an indentation request for items corresponding to the correction range (S22).

If the indentation request is input as a result of the determination in step S22, the list editing application 14 receives the indentation position designation signal input by the user through the input / output unit 11 (S23).

The list editing application 14 performs an editing operation for correcting the same indentation position designated in step S23 for each item corresponding to the correction range, and implements the editing operation in the input / output unit 11 (S24).

If the indentation request is not the indentation request as a result of the determination in step S22, it is determined in step S25 whether the attribute edit command in step S18 is a font attribute change request for items corresponding to the modification range. The font attribute edit request may include a font color change request, a font size change request, a font skew / underline change request, and the like.

If it is determined in step S25 that the font attribute change request is a font attribute change request, the list editing application 14 displays the font attribute for each of the items corresponding to the correction range according to the font attribute change request input by the user to the input / output unit 11 After editing according to the change request, the input / output unit 11 implements the editing (S26).

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.
