Description

An electronic device enabling easy selection of dependent editing actions in a document creation program and an operating method thereof

The present invention relates to an electronic device and an operating method thereof enabling easy selection of an editing action having a subordinate relationship in a document creation program.

In recent years, as computers, smart phones, tablet PCs, etc. have been widely spread, various types of document creation programs have been released that allow electronic documents to be viewed, created, and edited using such electronic devices.

These document creation programs include word processors that support basic document creation and editing, data input, arithmetic operations, and data management, spreadsheets, and presentation programs that assist presenters in their presentations.

In relation to this, document creation programs support various editing actions, and users often use only their most frequently used editing actions when creating documents. Therefore, if an interfacing technology is introduced so that the user can more easily use frequently used editing actions, the user's document preparation convenience can be promoted.

Generally, after executing a specific editing action in a document creation program, users continuously use various editing actions by executing one of the edit actions that can be continuously executed according to the execution of the corresponding editing action. For example, after the user executes an editing action called 'insert object', next, any of the editing actions related to object properties such as 'open drawing property window', 'insert text in object', 'open effect selection window' One can be executed, and if the user executes an editing action called 'open drawing property window' among the editing actions associated with the object properties, next, the drawing properties of the object called 'fill property' and 'line property' Any one of the related editing actions can be executed consecutively.

By designating an edit action that can be used before a specific edit action is executed as a parent edit action and an edit action that can be used after a specific edit action is executed as a lower edit action, the user is subordinated to a specific edit action. If editing actions can be easily executed, user convenience can be increased in that frequently used editing actions can be provided to the user at an appropriate time.

When a first edit action among the plurality of edit actions is executed by a user in the document creation program, the lower edit action check unit 114 refers to the dependency relationship data and selects the first edit action among the plurality of edit actions. Check whether there is a subordinate edit action subordinate to the action.

When it is determined that at least one first sub-editing action exists as sub-editing actions subordinate to the first editing action, the first interface generator 115 extracts the at least one sub-editing action from the icon image storage unit 113. After extracting icon images corresponding to each of the first sub-editing actions, a first action selection interface in which icon images corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action are aligned in a first predetermined direction is generated.

At this time, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first interface generator 115 is configured to determine the arrangement order of the icon images corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action, and the feature vector generator 118 ), a Euclidean norm calculation unit 119 and an interface generation processing unit 120.

When it is confirmed that the at least one first sub-editing action exists as a sub-editing action subordinate to the first editing action, the feature vector generator 118 refers to the execution count information storage unit 112 to perform the at least one editing action. The number of times each of the one first sub-editing action is executed in the document creation program in the n unit time intervals is determined, and for each of the at least one first sub-editing action, the document is generated in the n unit time intervals. An n-dimensional feature vector corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action is generated by constructing an n-dimensional feature vector having the number of executions of the writing program as a component.

When the n-dimensional feature vector corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action is generated, the Euclidean norm operation unit 119 determines the Euclid norm for the n-dimensional feature vector corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action. Calculate the norm (Euclidean norm).

Here, the Euclidean norm means the magnitude of a vector when a vector exists in an n-dimensional Euclidean space, and can be calculated according to Equation 1 below.

denotes the i-th component included in the n-dimensional feature vector.

The interface generation processing unit 120 extracts icon images corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action from the icon image storage unit 113, and then extracts n-dimensional characteristics corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action. Generation of the first action selection interface in which the icon images corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action are arranged in the first direction according to the ascending Euclidean norm of the vector is performed.

Thereafter, when the first action selection interface is generated, the first interface display unit 116 displays a point at which the pointer of the input device connected to the electronic device at the time when the first editing action is executed is located on the screen of the document creation program. After confirming the first pointing point, the first action selection interface is displayed at a point adjacent to the first pointing point.

The edit action executor 117 commands the user to select an icon image corresponding to a second edit action from among icon images corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-edit action displayed through the first action selection interface. When is applied, the second editing action is executed.

Hereinafter, the operation of the electronic device 110 will be described in detail by way of example with reference to FIG. 3 according to the above-described example.

For example, as shown by reference numeral 310 in FIG. 3, after a 'figure' 311 is inserted as 'object insertion' is executed in a document creation program, a 'figure' is selected as a first editing action among the plurality of editing actions by a user. Assume that 'Text' (312) is inserted into 'Figure' (311) by executing 'Insert text in object' for '(311)'.

Here, the editing action of 'inserting text into an object' is an editing action of 'inserting text into an object' when text is continuously input letter by letter into the object by the user and no additional letters are input for a predetermined waiting time. Assume that this has been executed. That is, 'text' 312 is continuously input one letter at a time in the order of 'text', 's', and 't' in the 'figure' 311 by the user, and from the time when 't' is input When there is no additional text input during the waiting time, it can be seen that 'inserting text into an object' for the 'figure' 311 is executed.

First, the lower editing action checking unit 114 may check whether there is a lower editing action subordinate to the first editing action 'inserting text into an object' by referring to the dependency relationship data as shown in Table 1 above.

At this time, as shown in Table 1 above, at least one of the first sub-editing actions, 'fill property selection' and 'selection of text outline color in the object', are subordinate editing actions subordinate to the first editing action 'insert text in the object'. ', 'shadow effect selection' and 'neon effect selection', the first interface generating unit 115 selects the at least one first sub-edit from the icon image storage unit 113 as shown in Table 3 above. Among the actions, 'Icon Image 5' (313) corresponding to 'Select Fill Attribute', 'Icon Image 6' (314) corresponding to 'Select Text Outline Color in Object', and 'Icon Image 6' (314) corresponding to 'Select Shadow Effect' '7' (315) and 'icon image 8' (316) corresponding to 'neon effect selection' may be extracted.

Then, assuming that the predetermined first direction is a downward direction, the first interface generating unit 115 generates 'icon image 5' (313), 'icon image 6' (314), 'icon image 7' (315), and A first action selection interface 317 in which the 'icon image 8' 316 is arranged in a downward direction may be created.

In this regard, to describe the operation of the first interface generating unit 115 in detail, the feature vector generating unit 118 uses the 'fill attribute' as a sub-editing action subordinate to the first editing action 'inserting text into an object'. If it is confirmed that there are 'selection', 'selection of text outline color within an object', 'selection of shadow effect' and 'selection of neon effect', referring to the execution count information storage unit 112 as shown in Table 2 above, 'filling It is possible to check the number of times each of 'property selection', 'text outline color selection within an object', 'shadow effect selection', and 'neon effect selection' are executed in the document creation program at an interval of '4' units.

Thereafter, the feature vector generation unit 118 performs the above '4' unit time intervals for each of 'selection of fill property', 'selection of text outline color within an object', 'selection of shadow effect', and 'selection of neon effect'. '[15 5 20 15]' is created as a '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to 'filling attribute selection' by constructing a '4'-dimensional feature vector having the number of executions in the document creation program as a component, '[13 8 13 13]' is created as a '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to 'selection of text contour color within an object', and '[5' as a '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to 'shadow effect selection' 3 5 5]', and '[1 3 5 1]' may be generated as a '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to 'neon effect selection'.

In this way, when '4'-dimensional feature vectors corresponding to 'selection of fill properties', 'selection of text outline color within an object', 'selection of shadow effect' and 'selection of neon effect' are generated, the Euclidean norm operation unit 119 Calculate the Euclidean norm of the '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to each of 'selection of fill property', 'selection of text outline color within object', 'selection of shadow effect' and 'selection of neon effect' according to Equation 1 above. can do.

The Euclidean norm of the '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action by the Euclidean norm operation unit 119 is 'selection of fill attribute', 'selection of text outline color within an object', 'shadow' Assuming that a large value is calculated according to the order of 'effect selection' and 'neon effect selection', the interface generation processing unit 120 corresponds to the 'fill property selection' from the icon image storage unit 113 as shown in Table 3 above. 'Icon Image 5' (313), 'Icon Image 6' (314) corresponding to 'Select Text Outline Color in Object', 'Icon Image 7' (315) corresponding to 'Select Shadow Effect' and 'Select Neon Effect' After extracting the 'icon image 8' 316 corresponding to ', the Euclidean norm for the '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action is in the order of the largest 'filling attribute selection', ' Icon images 313, 314, 315, and 316 corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action are displayed in a downward direction according to the order of 'selection of text outline color within object', 'selection of shadow effect', and 'selection of neon effect'. It is possible to process generation of the first action selection interface 317 arranged in .

At this time, when the first action selection interface 317 is generated, the first interface display unit 116 displays the input device connected to the electronic device 110 at the time when the first editing action 'insert text into object' is executed. After confirming the first pointing point, which is the point where the pointer 318 is located on the screen of the document creation program, the first action selection interface 317 may be displayed at a point adjacent to the first pointing point.

At this time, among the icon images 313, 314, 315, and 316 corresponding to each of the at least one first sub-editing action displayed through the first action selection interface 317, the second editing action 'text outline' is selected by the user. Assuming that a selection command for 'icon image 6' (314) corresponding to 'selection' is applied, the edit action executor 117 executes the second edit action 'select text outline color in object', As shown by numeral 320, a color interface 321 for selecting an outline color of 'text' 312 may be displayed on the screen.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first interface generator 115 includes an edit classification information storage unit 124, a candidate edit action check unit 125, a candidate edit action extractor 126, and a vector generator 127. ), a cosine similarity calculating unit 128, an editing action selecting unit 129, and a generating unit 130 may be further included.

The classification information storage unit 124 stores predetermined classification information about the plurality of editing actions.

Here, the classification information is information obtained by pre-classifying each of the plurality of edit actions into categories to which each edit action belongs, based on attributes of each of the plurality of edit actions.

For example, information as shown in Table 4 below may be stored in the classification information storage unit 124 .

multiple editing actions Classification information by category insert object Category 1 Open drawing properties window category 2 Insert text within objects category 2 Effect selection window open category 2 Choose Fill Attribute category 3 Select text outline color within objects Category 3 Choose a shadow effect category 3 Choose a neon effect Category 3 pattern selection Category 4 color choice Category 4 Select Transparency category 4

The candidate editing action checker 125 checks whether there is a lower edit action subordinate to the first edit action among the plurality of edit actions through the lower edit action checker 114, and as a result, the first edit action If it is confirmed that there is no subordinate editing action that is subordinate to it, a candidate editing action classified as belonging to the same category as the first editing action among the plurality of editing actions with reference to the classification information storage unit 124 is selected. check if it exists

When it is determined that at least one first candidate editing action exists as a candidate editing action designated as belonging to the same category as the first editing action, the candidate editing action extraction unit 126 refers to the dependency relationship data and selects the at least one candidate editing action. Among one first candidate editing actions, at least one second candidate editing action having a subordinate editing action subordinate to each candidate editing action is extracted.

When the at least one second candidate editing action is extracted, the vector generating unit 127 refers to the execution count information storage unit 112 so that each of the first editing action and the at least one second candidate editing action is the n The number of executions of the document creation program at n unit time intervals is checked, and for each of the first editing action and the at least one second candidate editing action, the document creation program is executed at n unit time intervals. An n-dimensional feature vector for the first edit action and an n-dimensional feature vector for each of the at least one second candidate edit action are generated by constructing an n-dimensional feature vector having count as a component.

The cosine similarity calculator 128 calculates a cosine similarity between an n-dimensional feature vector corresponding to the first editing action and an n-dimensional feature vector corresponding to each of the at least one second candidate editing action.

In this case, the cosine similarity may be calculated based on Equation 2 below.

Here, S is the cosine similarity between feature vectors A and B, and has a value between -1 and 1. The higher the value, the more similar the two feature vectors are, and A _i is the ith component of feature vector A, B _i means the i-th component of feature vector B.

The edit action selector 129 includes a fourth edit having an n-dimensional feature vector whose cosine similarity with the n-dimensional feature vector corresponding to the first edit action among the at least one second candidate edit action is maximally calculated. choose an action

When the fourth editing action is selected, the generation unit 130 displays an icon corresponding to each of at least one second lower editing action, which is a lower editing action subordinate to the fourth editing action, from the icon image storage unit 113. After the image is extracted, the first action selection interface in which icon images corresponding to each of the at least one second lower editing action are aligned in the first direction is generated.

That is, the first interface generating unit 115 is a candidate editing action capable of substituting a lower editing action subordinate to the first editing action when there is no lower editing action subordinate to the first editing action. By generating the first action selection interface composed of, it is possible to promote the user's convenience.

Hereinafter, an operation of the first interface generating unit 115 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 according to the above-described example.

For example, after 'figure' 311 and 'text' 312 are inserted as 'insert object' and 'insert text in object' are executed in the document creation program, among the plurality of editing actions by the user Assume that a 'shadow effect selection' for 'text' 312 is executed as a first editing action, and a shadow effect is applied to 'text' 312 as shown in FIG. 4 .

Accordingly, with reference to the dependency data such as Table 1 above, it is confirmed through the lower editing action checking unit 114 whether there is a lower editing action subordinate to 'shadow effect selection' among the plurality of editing actions. , If it is confirmed that there is no sub-editing action subordinate to 'shadow effect selection' as shown in Table 1 above, the candidate editing action check unit 125 stores the classification information storage unit 124 as shown in Table 4 above. Referring to the plurality of edit actions, it may be checked whether a candidate edit action classified as belonging to the same category as 'shadow effect selection' exists.

At this time, with reference to the classification information storage unit 124 as shown in Table 4 above, 'select fill property' and 'in-object' as candidate editing actions designated as belonging to 'category 3', which is the same category as 'shadow effect selection'. If it is confirmed that 'selection of text outline color' and 'selection of neon effect' exist, the candidate editing action extraction unit 126 refers to the dependent relationship data such as Table 1 above to select 'fill attribute selection' and 'text in object'. Among the outline color selection and neon effect selection, at least one second candidate editing action having subordinate editing actions subordinate to each candidate editing action may be extracted.

Referring to the dependency relationship data such as Table 1, among 'fill attribute selection', 'in-object text outline color selection' and 'neon effect selection', sub-editing actions subordinate to each candidate editing action exist. When 'select fill property' and 'selection of text outline color within an object' are extracted as at least one second candidate editing action, the vector generator 127 refers to the execution count information storage unit 112 as shown in Table 2 above. Thus, it is possible to check the number of times each of 'selection of shadow effect', 'selection of fill property', and 'selection of outline color of text in object' is executed in the document creation program at the '4' unit time interval.

Thereafter, the vector generator 127 determines the number of executions of the document creation program in the '4' unit time intervals for each of 'shadow effect selection', 'filling property selection', and 'in-object text outline color selection'. By constructing a '4'-dimensional feature vector having as a component, '[5 3 5 5]' is generated as a '4'-dimensional feature vector for 'shadow effect selection', and '[5 3 5 5]' is created for 'fill attribute selection'. '[15 5 20 15]' can be created as a 4'-dimensional feature vector, and '[13 8 13 13]' can be created as a '4'-dimensional feature vector for 'selection of text contour color within an object'. .

Then, the cosine similarity calculation unit 128 calculates '[5 3 5 5]', which is a '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to 'shadow effect selection', and '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to 'fill attribute selection'. Cosine similarity between '[15 5 20 15]' can be calculated, '[5 3 5 5]', which is a '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to 'shadow effect selection', and 'selection of outline color of text within an object' The cosine similarity between '[13 8 13 13]', which is a '4'-dimensional feature vector corresponding to , can be calculated.

Then, the editing action selector 129 selects a '4' dimensional characteristic corresponding to 'selection of shadow effect' among 'selection of fill attribute' and 'selection of outline color of text within an object', which are the at least one second candidate editing action. As a fourth editing action having a '4'-dimensional feature vector with a maximum cosine similarity with the vector '[5 3 5 5]', 'select text outline color within an object' may be selected.

In this way, when 'selection of text outline color within an object' is selected as the fourth editing action, the generation unit 130 is dependent on 'selection of text outline color within an object' from the icon image storage unit 113 as shown in Table 3 above. After extracting the 'icon image 11' (412) corresponding to the 'transparency selection', which is a lower editing action, the action selection interface 411 displaying the 'icon image 11' (412) can be created.

Then, the first interface display unit 116 is a first pointing point, which is a point where the pointer 318 of the input device connected to the electronic device 110 is located on the screen of the document creation program at the time when the 'shadow effect selection' is executed. After confirming, as shown in FIG. 4 , an action selection interface 411 may be displayed at a point adjacent to the first pointing point.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device 110 is configured to show a higher editing action for the editing action selected by the user, and includes a higher editing action checking unit 121 and a second interface generating unit 122 And it may further include a second interface display unit 123 .

After the first action selection interface is displayed through the first interface display unit 116, the upper editing action confirmation unit 121 corresponds to each of the at least one first lower editing action displayed through the first action selection interface. When the user hovers the pointer on an icon image corresponding to a third editing action among icon images to be edited, a higher order for the third editing action among the plurality of editing actions is made with reference to the dependency relationship data. Check if the edit action exists.

When it is confirmed that there is at least one first higher editing action as a higher editing action for the third editing action, the second interface generator 122 retrieves the at least one first higher editing action from the icon image storage unit 113. After extracting an icon image corresponding to each editing action, a second action selection interface in which the icon images corresponding to each of the at least one first higher-order editing action are aligned in the first direction is generated.

When the second action selection interface is generated, the second interface display unit 123 displays the second action selection interface at a point adjacent to the point where the first action selection interface is being displayed.

At this time, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the second action selection interface is generated, the second interface display unit 123 corresponds to each of the at least one first higher order editing action constituting the second action selection interface. After configuring the outline of the remaining icon images except for the icon image corresponding to the first editing action among the icon images to be surrounded by an outline of a predetermined color, the second An action selection interface can be displayed.

Hereinafter, the operation of the electronic device 110 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5 as an example.

First, as in the above example, after the 'figure' 311 is inserted as 'insert object' is executed in the document creation program, the 'figure' is selected as the first editing action among the plurality of editing actions by the user. As 'insert text in object' for (311) is executed, 'text' (312) is inserted into 'shape' (311), and the lower editing action confirmation unit 114, the first interface generation unit 115 and Assume that the first action selection interface 317 is displayed on the screen by the operation of the first interface display unit 116 .

Thereafter, the at least one first sub-editing action displayed through the first action selection interface 317 is 'select fill attribute', 'select text outline color in object', 'select shadow effect', and 'select neon effect'. Among the corresponding icon images 313, 314, 315, and 316, the pointer 318 hovers over the 'icon image 5' 313 corresponding to the third editing action, 'select fill property' by the user. Assuming, the upper editing action check unit 121 refers to the dependency relationship data as shown in Table 1 and determines whether there is a higher editing action for the third editing action 'fill attribute selection' among the plurality of editing actions. You can check.

At this time, as shown in Table 1, it is assumed that at least one first high-order editing action 'open drawing property window' and 'insert text in object' exist as high-level editing actions for the third editing action 'fill property selection'. If confirmed, the second interface generator 122 extracts 'icon image 2' corresponding to 'open drawing properties window' among the at least one first higher editing action from the icon image storage unit 113 as shown in Table 3 ( 511) and 'Icon Image 3' 512 corresponding to 'Insert Text in Object' can be extracted.

Thereafter, the second interface generator 122 displays 'icon image 2' 511 corresponding to 'open drawing properties window' and 'icon image 3' 512 corresponding to 'insert text in object' in a downward direction. An aligned second action selection interface 513 may be created.

In this way, when the second action selection interface 513 is generated, the second interface display unit 123 displays the second action selection interface 513 at a point adjacent to the point where the first action selection interface 317 is being displayed, as shown in FIG. 5 . ) can be displayed.

A second action selection interface 513 may be displayed at an adjacent point.

That is, the second action selection interface 513 executes the editing action of 'insert text in the object', while the first action selection interface 317 is displayed on the screen, and the third editing action 'fill attribute selection' is performed. As an interface displayed as the pointer 318 hovers over the 'icon image 5' 313 corresponding to ', since the editing action of 'inserting text into an object' is an editing action that has already been executed once, the second The interface display unit 123 excludes 'icon image 3' 512 corresponding to 'insert text in object' among icon images 511 and 512 corresponding to 'open drawing property window' and 'insert text in object' respectively. By configuring the outline of the 'icon image 2' 511 corresponding to the remaining icon image 'open drawing property window' with an outline of a predetermined color, it is possible to induce the user not to execute redundant editing actions.
