FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the structure of a document editing apparatus that performs a process of hiding some figures by establishing a dependency relationship between figures inserted into an electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a document editing apparatus 110 performing hiding of some figures by establishing a dependency relationship between figures inserted into an electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a relationship setting unit 111, a lower It includes a figure confirmation unit 112, a hidden processing unit 113 and a hidden icon display unit 114.

When at least one connection line connecting any two figures among a plurality of figures inserted into an electronic document by a user is input, the relationship setting unit 111 sets a figure from which each of the at least one connection line starts as a parent. A dependency relationship between figures connected by each of the at least one connection line is set by setting the figure as a figure, and setting a figure targeted by each of the at least one connection line as a child figure subordinate to a parent figure corresponding to each connection line. do.

For example, as shown by reference numeral 210 in FIG. 2, a plurality of figures 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215 inserted into an electronic document include 'figure 1' 211, 'figure 2' 212, 'figure 3' (213), 'Figure 4' (214), and 'Figure 5' (215) exist, and a user connects any two figures among a plurality of figures (211, 212, 213, 214, 215). 'Connection line 1' (216) connecting 'Figure 1' (211) and 'Figure 2' (212) with at least one connection line (216, 217, 218, 219), 'Figure 2' (212) and 'Figure 2' (212) 'Connection line 2' (217) connecting '3' (213), 'connection line 3' (218) and 'figure 3' (213) connecting 'figure 2' (212) and 'figure 4' (214) Assume that 'Connection Line 4' (219) connecting 'Figure 5' (215) is input.

At this time, the relationship setting unit 111 sets 'figure 1' (211) where 'connection line 1' (216) starts among at least one connection line (216, 217, 218, 219) as a parent figure, and 'connection line 1 'Figure 2' (212) targeted by '(216)' can be set as a child figure subordinate to 'Figure 1' (211), and 'Figure 2' (212) where 'Connection Line 2' (217) starts It can be set as a parent figure, and 'figure 3' (213) targeted by 'connection line 2' (217) can be set as a child figure subordinate to 'figure 2' (212).

In addition, the relationship setting unit 111 sets 'figure 2' (212), where 'connection line 3' (218) starts, as a parent figure, and 'figure 4' (214) targeted by 'connection line 3' (218). can be set as a child figure subordinate to 'Figure 2' (212), 'Figure 3' (213), where 'Connection Line 4' (219) starts, is set as a parent figure, and 'Connection Line 4' (219) is The target 'figure 5' (215) can be set as a child figure subordinate to 'figure 3' (213).

In this way, the relationship setting unit 111 may set a subordinate relationship between figures connected by each of the at least one connection line 216 , 217 , 218 , and 219 .

When a command to hide a first figure, which is any one of the plurality of figures, is received from the user, the lower figure checking unit 112 checks whether a child figure subordinate to the first figure exists, and If it is confirmed that a first child figure exists as a child figure dependent on the first child figure, the process of checking whether another child figure subordinate to the first child figure exists is performed on child figures sequentially subordinated to the first figure. At least one first lower figure in the lower layer of the first figure is identified by serially performing the first figure.

For example, assuming that according to the above-described example, a hiding command for 'figure 2' 212 among the plurality of figures 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215 is received from the user, the lower figure check unit 112 ) can confirm whether a child figure subordinate to 'figure 2' (212) exists, and as shown in reference numeral 210, 'figure 3' (213) is a child figure subordinate to 'figure 2' (212). and 'Figure 4' (214) exist, the process of checking whether another child figure subordinate to each of 'Figure 3' (213) and 'Figure 4' (214) exists is called 'Figure 2' ( 212), it can be performed serially on child figures that are sequentially subordinated.

That is, the lower figure confirmation unit 112 confirms that 'figure 5' (215) exists as another child figure subordinate to 'figure 3' (213), and another child figure subordinate to 'figure 4' (214). If it is confirmed that no other child figures exist, it can be checked whether another child figure subordinate to 'Figure 5' (215) exists, and if another child figure subordinate to 'Figure 5' (215) does not exist, If confirmed, finally, 'Figure 3' (213), 'Figure 4' (214) and 'Figure 5' (215) as at least one first sub-figure in the lower layer of 'Figure 2' (212) can be confirmed to exist.

The hiding processing unit 113 checks whether a parent figure exists for the first figure, and if it is confirmed that the first parent figure exists as a parent figure for the first figure, the first figure and the first figure After hiding the target connection line, the at least one first sub-figure and the connection line targeting each of the at least one first sub-figure are additionally hidden.

The hidden icon display unit 114 generates a hidden icon indicating that the first figure and the at least one first sub-figure are hidden in a lower layer of the first parent figure, and then sets the hidden icon to the first parent figure. It is displayed in a predetermined icon display area on the parent figure.

For example, according to the above example, the hiding processor 113 can check whether a parent figure for 'figure 2' (212) exists, and 'figure 1' (211) is the parent figure for 'figure 2' (212). ) is confirmed to exist, after hiding 'Figure 2' 212 and 'Connection Line 1' 216 targeting 'Figure 2' 212, the at least one first sub-figure 'Figure 3' ( 213), 'Connection Line 2' (217) targeting 'Figure 4' (214) and 'Figure 5' (215) and 'Figure 3' (213), 'Connection Line 3' targeting 'Figure 4' (214) 'Connection line 4' (219) targeting '(218) and 'figure 5' (215) can be additionally hidden.

Thereafter, the hidden icon display unit 114 displays 'Figure 2' (212), 'Figure 3' (213), 'Figure 4' (214) and 'Figure 5' (215) in the lower layer of 'Figure 1' (211). After creating a hidden icon 221 indicating that ) is hidden, the hidden icon 221 may be displayed in a predetermined icon display area 222 indicated by a dotted line on 'Figure 1' 211 .

At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, as a result of checking whether a parent figure for the first figure exists, the hiding processing unit 113 determines that there is no parent figure for the first figure, the first figure. Without hiding the figure and the connection line targeting the first figure, only the at least one first sub-figure and the connection line targeting the at least one first sub-figure may be hidden.

At this time, the hidden icon display unit 114 displays a first guide message on the screen indicating that the first figure cannot be hidden because it is a figure in the uppermost layer, and displays the at least one After generating the hidden icon indicating that the first sub-figure of is hidden, the hidden icon may be displayed in the icon display area on the first figure.

For example, assuming that, unlike the above example, a hide command for 'figure 1' 211 among the plurality of figures 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215 is received from the user at reference numeral 210 in FIG. , The lower figure checking unit 112 is at least one first lower figure in the lower hierarchy of 'figure 1' 211, and 'figure 2' 212, which is a child figure subordinate to 'figure 1' 211, 'Figure 3' (213), another child figure subordinate to 'Figure 2' (212), 'Figure 4' (214), and 'Figure 5', another child figure subordinate to 'Figure 3' (213) (215) can be found.

At this time, the hiding processor 113 may check whether a parent figure for 'figure 1' (211) exists, and if it is confirmed that there is no parent figure for 'figure 1' (211), 'figure 1' ( 211) and the connection line targeting 'figure 1' 211 is not hidden, and as shown in reference numeral 220, the at least one first sub-figure 'figure 2' 212, 'figure 3' 213, ' 'Connection Line 1' (216) targeting Figure 4 (214) and 'Figure 5' (215) and 'Figure 2' (212), 'Connection Line 2' (217) targeting 'Figure 3' (213) , 'Connection line 3' (218) targeting 'Figure 4' (214) and 'Connection line 4' (219) targeting 'Figure 5' (215) can be hidden.

Then, the hidden icon display unit 114 may display on the screen a first guide message indicating that 'figure 1' 211 cannot be hidden because it is a figure in the top layer, and 'figure 1' 211 A hidden icon 221 indicating that 'Figure 2' (212), 'Figure 3' (213), 'Figure 4' (214), and 'Figure 5' (215) are hidden in the lower layer of After creation, the hidden icon 221 can be displayed in the icon display area 222 indicated by a dotted line on 'Figure 1' 211 .

In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the hiding processing unit 113, when any one or more of the at least one first sub-figure is set as a parent figure for the first figure, the first figure, Hiding processing may not be performed on the connection line targeting the first figure, the at least one first sub-figure, and the connection line targeting the at least one first sub-figure.

At this time, the hidden icon display unit 114 performs a hiding process for the first figure, a connection line targeting the first figure, the at least one first sub-figure, and a connection line targeting the at least one first sub-figure. If not, instead of displaying the hidden icon in the icon display area on the first parent figure, indicating that the first figure and the at least one first sub figure cannot be hidden due to a bidirectional dependency relationship setting. A second guidance message may be displayed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, in the above example, a 'connection line 5' (311) connecting 'figure 5' (215) and 'figure 2' (212) is additionally input by the user, and the relationship setting unit 111 ), 'Figure 5' (215) where 'Connection Line 5' (311) starts is set as the parent figure, and 'Figure 2' (212) targeted by 'Connection Line 5' (311) is 'Figure 5' ( 215), and when a command to hide 'figure 2' (212) among the plurality of figures (211, 212, 213, 214, 215) is received from the user, the lower figure confirmation unit By (112), 'figure 3' (213), 'figure 4' (214) and 'figure 5' (215) are at least one first lower figure in the lower layer of 'figure 2' (212). Assume it is confirmed.

In this way, 'figure 5' 215, which is any one of 'figure 3' 213, 'figure 4' 214, and 'figure 5' 215, which are the at least one first sub-figure, is 'figure 2'. When it is set as a parent figure for (212), the hiding processing unit 113 selects 'Figure 2' (212), 'Connection Line 1' (216) targeting 'Figure 2' (212), and at least one of the first Figure 3' (213), 'Figure 4' (214), 'Figure 5' (215), and 'Connection Line 2' (217) targeting 'Figure 3' (213), 'Figure 4' ( 214) and 'connection line 4' (219) targeting 'figure 5' (215) may not be hidden.

In addition, the hidden icon display unit 114 displays 'Connection line 1' 216 targeting 'Figure 2' 212, 'Figure 2' 212, 'Figure 3' 213, 'Figure 4' 214, and 'Figure 4' 214. 'Connection Line 2' (217) targeting 'Figure 5' (215), 'Figure 3' (213), 'Connection Line 3' (218) targeting 'Figure 4' (214), 'Figure 5' (215) ), instead of displaying the hidden icon 221 of the above-described example in the icon display area 222 on the 'Figure 1' 211, if the hiding process is not performed for the 'connecting line 4' 219 targeting ), the two-way dependent A second guide message indicating that 'Figure 2' (212), 'Figure 3' (213), 'Figure 4' (214), and 'Figure 5' (215) cannot be hidden due to the relationship setting is displayed. can do.

Also, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the document editing device 110 may further include a spread processing unit 115 .

After the hidden icon is displayed in the icon display area on the first parent figure, the unfolding processing unit 115 displays information about the first figure and the at least one first sub-figure as the hidden icon is selected by the user. When an expand command is received, the first figure and a connection line targeting the first figure are displayed on the screen, and a connection line targeting the at least one first sub-figure and each of the at least one first sub-figure is added. After displaying on the screen as , the hidden icon is removed.

For example, as shown by reference numeral 220 in FIG. 2, after the hidden icon 221 is displayed in the icon display area 222 indicated by a dotted line on 'Figure 1' 211, the hidden icon 221 is selected by the user. Accordingly, when an expand command is received for 'Figure 2' (212) and 'Figure 3' (213), 'Figure 4' (214), and 'Figure 5' (215), which are the at least one first sub-figure, they are expanded. The processing unit 115 may display 'figure 2' 212 and 'connection line 1' 216 targeting 'figure 2' 212 on the screen, as shown by reference numeral 210, and 'figure 3' ( 213), 'Connection Line 2' (217) targeting 'Figure 4' (214) and 'Figure 5' (215) and 'Figure 3' (213), 'Connection Line 3' targeting 'Figure 4' (214) '(218)' and 'Connection line 4' (219) targeting 'Figure 5' (215) may be additionally displayed on the screen, and then the hidden icon 221 may be removed.

At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the document editing device 110 may further include a size changing unit 116 .

The size change unit 116 includes a connection line targeting the first figure and the first figure and a connection line targeting each of the at least one first sub-figure and the at least one first sub-figure through the expansion processing unit 115 After being displayed on the screen, if the size of the first figure is changed by the user, the size of each of the at least one first sub-figure is changed in response to a size change ratio of the first figure.

For example, according to the above-described example, a hiding command for 'figure 2' 212 among the plurality of figures 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215 is received from the user, and the lower figure checker 112 , Assume that 'figure 3' 213, 'figure 4' 214, and 'figure 5' 215 are identified as at least one first lower figure in the lower layer of 'figure 2' 212.

At this time, if the size of 'figure 2' 212 is changed by the user as shown in FIG. 4 after all the hidden figures are unfolded through the unfolding processor 115 as shown in reference numeral 411, the size changer 116 changes the size of 'figure 3' (213) as reference numeral 412 in response to the size change ratio of 'figure 2' (212), and changes the size of 'figure 4' (214) as reference numeral 413, , The size of 'Figure 5' (215) can be changed as indicated by reference numeral 414.

Also, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the document editing device 110 may further include a figure deletion unit 117 and a relationship resetting unit 118.

The figure deletion unit 117 includes a connection line targeting the first figure and the first figure and a connection line targeting each of the at least one first sub-figure and the at least one first sub-figure through the expansion processing unit 115 After being displayed on the screen, if a delete command for the first figure is received from the user, the first figure, a connection line starting from the first figure, and a connection line targeting the first figure are deleted.

When the first figure, the connection line starting from the first figure, and the connection line targeting the first figure are deleted, the relationship reconfiguration unit 118 checks whether a parent figure exists for the first figure, and determines whether the first figure exists. If it is confirmed that the first parent figure exists as a parent figure for the figure, the first parent figure is reset as a parent figure for the first child figure, and the first child figure is dependent on the first parent figure. After resetting to the child figure, a new connection line starting from the first parent figure and targeting the first child figure is created and displayed on the screen.

For example, according to the above-described example, a hiding command for 'figure 2' 212 among the plurality of figures 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215 is received from the user, and the lower figure checker 112 , It was confirmed that 'Figure 3' (213) and 'Figure 4' (214) exist as child figures subordinate to 'Figure 2' (212), and another child figure subordinate to 'Figure 3' (213). Let's assume that 'Figure 5' (215) is confirmed to exist.

At this time, assuming that a delete command for 'figure 2' (212) is received from the user after all hidden figures have been unfolded through the unfolding processor 115, the figure deletion unit 117 will display 'figure 2' (212), 'Connection Line 2' (217) starting from 'Figure 2' (212), 'Connection Line 3' (218) starting from 'Figure 2' (212), and 'Connection Line 1' targeting 'Figure 2' (212) (216) can be deleted.

In this way, 'Figure 2' (212), 'Connection Line 2' (217) starting from 'Figure 2' (212), 'Connection Line 3' (218) starting from 'Figure 2' (212) and 'Figure 2' If 'connecting line 1' (216) targeting (212) is deleted, the relationship reconfiguration unit 118 checks whether there is a parent figure for 'figure 2' (212), and for 'figure 2' (212) If it is confirmed that 'Figure 1' (211) exists as a parent figure, 'Figure 1' (211) is reset as a parent figure for each of 'Figure 3' (213) and 'Figure 4' (214), and ' After resetting each of Figure 3 (213) and 'Figure 4' (214) as child figures subordinate to 'Figure 1' (211), 'Figure 3' (213) starting from 'Figure 1' (211) Starting from the target 'new connection line 1' (511) and 'figure 1' (211), 'new connection line 2' (512) targeting 'figure 4' (214) is created, and as shown in FIG. can be displayed on the

6 is a flowchart illustrating an operating method of a document editing apparatus performing a process of hiding some figures by setting a dependency relationship between figures inserted into an electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step S610, when at least one connection line connecting any two figures among a plurality of figures inserted into the electronic document by the user is input, a figure from which each of the at least one connection line starts is set as a parent figure, By setting a figure targeted by each of the at least one connection line as a child figure subordinate to a parent figure corresponding to each connection line, a dependency relationship between figures connected by each of the at least one connection line is set.

In step S620, when a command to hide a first figure, which is any one of the plurality of figures, is received from the user, it is checked whether a child figure subordinate to the first figure exists, and whether a child figure subordinate to the first figure exists. If it is confirmed that the first child figure exists as a child figure, the process of checking whether another child figure subordinate to the first child figure exists is chained to the child figures sequentially subordinated to the first child figure. By performing, at least one first lower figure in the lower layer of the first figure is identified.

In step S630, it is checked whether a parent figure for the first figure exists, and if it is confirmed that the first parent figure exists as a parent figure for the first figure, the first figure and the first figure are selected as targets.
