Description

EDITING PROGRAM OF ECTRONIC DOCUMENTS}

According to the present invention, when a digitalized document having sentence information and image information complementing each other is displayed on a screen, the phrases in the sentence information and the place of description in the drawing or photograph as image information can be easily edited on the screen. It relates to a program for editing an electronic document.

For example, when a technical document describing a technical content is created as an electronic document using drawings or photographs, the description text is often written as sentence information, and the drawings or photographs as image information. If the screen of the computer is divided into two areas and an explanatory text is displayed in one area and a drawing or a picture is displayed in the other area, the explanatory text can be read while referring to the drawing or picture.

However, when the drawings and photographs are complicated, it is difficult to find a place (specific place) indicated by a specific phrase in the description on the screen of the computer in the drawings or photographs. In such a case, the leader line is drawn out from a specific place in the drawing or photograph to be labeled, and the common phrase is attached to a specific phrase in the explanation statement. By making it easy to find out whether it is pointing to a place, it is possible to easily correspond to the sentence information and image information on the screen so that the technical contents can be easily understood on the screen.

However, if the drawing or photograph is too complicated, or if many leader lines or marks are overly attached, it is difficult to find the corresponding sign in the drawing or photograph while reading the explanation on the screen of the computer, It does not play a role of erasing phrases and specific places in drawings or photographs.

An electronic document on a patent is a good example. In the patent information shown in the patent publication and the like, a description, which is a sentence information, and a drawing, which is image information, are generally displayed on a computer screen, and the specification is easily read and understood while referring to the drawings. In addition, since there are many codes, it may be difficult to find the codes in the specification among many codes in a complicated drawing.

Therefore, in an electronic document with complicated drawings or photographs, or with many callouts or symbols attached to the drawings or photographs, their drawings or photographs are printed and made into paper information. It is frequently practiced to distinguish descriptions, drawings, and photographs separately.

In this way, when image information represented as drawings or photographs is complicated or a large number of codes are overly attached, the waste of using deliberately using electronic information as paper information is often practiced in reality.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-24254 discloses the following information accumulation system for electronically managing information displayed on the ground. That is, the image information on the page is taken as the image information receiving means, the sentence information related to the characters in the image information is input to the sentence information input means, and the character reading means reads the characters in the image information, and the character reading means to the storage means. And a conversion table for converting between the read character and sentence information.

According to this technique, even when an assembly drawing, a parts list, or the like exists as information on the page, the assembly drawing and the parts list can be managed in association with each other. However, this technique is only a technique for managing paper information as electronic information, and displays the sentence information while referring to the image information by simultaneously displaying the image information and sentence information such as the drawings and photographs on the screen of the computer. Even when a drawing or a photograph is complicated at the time of reading or when many leader lines or codes are attached to a drawing or a photograph, it cannot become a solution for making correspondence of sentence information and image information easy to implement.

In addition, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-251279 discloses the following content distribution system for displaying comic content easily. This divides the display screen into an image display area and a serif display area, and highlights a balloon area corresponding to the serif displayed on the serif display area.

However, in the serif display area, a serif corresponding to one of the plurality of balloon areas existing in the serif display area is displayed, and since only the balloon area corresponding to the serif is highlighted, many specific phrases in the specification, such as an electronic patent document, are used. It cannot be a solution to facilitate the correspondence between many codes in the drawings.

In addition, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1996-339380 discloses a corresponding drawing on a computer screen by designating a reference number in a sentence by a cursor or the like even when a sentence in a patent specification and a drawing corresponding to the sentence are separated. Display technology is disclosed.

However, the annoyance of finding a specific place corresponding to a specific phrase in sentence information among the drawings displayed on the screen of the computer is still not solved, and thus it cannot be a solution for easily performing correspondence between sentence information and image information.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and edits the sentence information and the image information constituting the electronic document in a form that can be easily erased on a computer screen, and makes the electronic document easy to see and understand on the screen.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION In order to demonstrate this invention in more detail, this is demonstrated according to attached drawing. 1 conceptually illustrates the electronic document 1 to be edited by the editing program of the present invention. The digitalized document 1 includes sentence information 2 complementary to each other and at least one image information 3a, 3b, 3c in the example of FIG. For example, when the electronic document 1 is an electronic patent publication, the sentence information 2 corresponds to the specification, and the image information 3a, 3b, and 3c correspond to the drawings. Some phrases in the sentence information 2 (hereinafter referred to as "specific phrase 4") and some places of image information 3a, 3b and 3c (hereinafter referred to as "specific place 5") The common code | symbol 6 is attached | subjected for mutually erasing. In Fig. 1, " 0 ", " 0 " and " ΔΔ △ " are Chinese characters if the sentence information 2 is Japanese. Hiragana, Katakana, etc., and in English, alphabet.

The specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 and the specific place 5 in the image information 3a, 3b, and 3c are also plural kinds, and as the code 6, "A, Y, C", "1, 2". Letters, numbers, symbols, etc. are used.

2 is a schematic structural diagram showing a program for editing an electronic document in the first invention. This editing program is configured to cause the computer control unit (CPU) 9 to execute the image information code receiving procedure 7 and the highlighting display procedure 8.

The image information code acceptance procedure 7 includes a code 6 of a plurality of types (A, B, C, etc.) existing in the image information 3a, 3b, 3c by OCR recognition as in the third diagram, and the code 6 The code area in which " is written is taken as code position information, and an image information code table is created. When there are a plurality of identical codes 6 in one image information, the code area (code area 1, code area 2, etc.) of each code 6 is taken as code position information.

The highlighting procedure 8 associates the code position information received in the image information code table with the code 6 in the sentence information 2 as shown in the fourth diagram, and indicates the code 6 of any of the sentence information 2; For example, when B) is specified, image information 3b in which the symbol 6 is present in the image information code table is displayed on the screen of the computer. When the symbol 6 indicated by B is present in the plurality of image information 3a, 3b, 3c, the image information 3b at the closest position is first displayed on the screen. At the same time, the code area in which the code 6 in the image information 3b is described is searched from the image information code table, and the code B in the code area is highlighted on the screen of the computer (FIG. 5). Reference). In this state, every time the user clicks in an area other than the code area in the image information 3b, other image information 3c having the symbol B is sequentially displayed on the screen of the computer, and the B in the image information 3c is displayed. Search for the code area indicated by the symbol and highlight B on the computer screen.

Further, the highlighting procedure 8 replaces the code 6 in the designated sentence information 2 and the code 6 in the image information 3a, 3b, 3c when the code 6 in the sentence information 2 is designated. It may be highlighted at the same time (see FIG. 6).

The highlighting procedure 8 further includes a code area of the designated code 6 in the image information code table when an arbitrary code 6 (e.g., B) in the image information 3b or the image information 3c is designated. Is searched for, and the corresponding code 6 in the sentence information 2 is highlighted on the screen of the computer (see FIG. 7).

In addition, the highlighting procedure 8 is such that when the sign 6 in the image information 3b is designated, the sign 6 in the designated image information 3b and the sign 6 in the sentence information 2 are simultaneously highlighted. You may do it (refer FIG. 8).

As a method of designating the symbol 6, the mouse pointer may be placed at the corresponding position on the screen, or the mouse pointer may be manually selected such that the mouse pointer is placed at the corresponding position. May be designated by an automatic method such as reading the code 6 in the text aloud.

 As a method of highlighting the sign 6, the corresponding sign 6 is blinked, or only the sign 6 is displayed in a different color from the other, inverted, enlarged, enclosed, or the like. As long as it can appeal to the eyes and make it stand out, any method can be used.

Fig. 9 is a schematic structural diagram showing an editing program for an electronic document in the second invention. This editing program causes the control unit (CPU) 19 of the computer to execute the image information code acquisition procedure 7, the specific phrase acceptance procedure 10, and the highlighting procedure 18.

The image information post-acceptance procedure 7 is the same as that of the first invention (see FIG. 3), and a plurality of types of codes 6 existing in the image information 3a, 3b, 3c by OCR recognition, and each code 6 The code area in which " is written is taken as code position information, and an image information code table is created. When there are a plurality of identical codes 6 in one image information, the code area of each code 6 is taken as code position information.

The specific phrase accepting procedure 10 accepts the code 6 and the specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 as the specific phrase information as in the tenth diagram to create a specific phrase table.

The highlighting procedure 18 associates the code position information received in the image information code acquisition procedure 7 with the specific phrase information received in the specific phrase acceptance procedure 10 as shown in FIG. When the specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 is designated, the specific phrase 4 specified in the specific phrase table and the code 6 corresponding to the specific phrase 4, for example, B are designated. It reads out, retrieves the image information 3b in which the corresponding code 6 exists from the image information code table, and displays the image information 3b on the screen of the computer. At the same time, the code area in which the code 6 in the image information 3b is described is searched from the image information code table, and the code B in the code area is highlighted on the computer screen (Fig. 12). Reference). When the code 6 corresponding to the designated specific phrase 4 exists in the plurality of image information 3b, 3c, one of the image information 3b is first displayed on the screen, and in that state the image information 3b When clicking in an area other than the code area in Fig. 1), another image information 3c having a code of B is displayed on the screen of the computer, and the code area of the code B in the image information 3c is searched for, and B is displayed. Is highlighted on the computer's screen.

In addition, the highlighting procedure 18 may simultaneously highlight and highlight the specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 and the code 6 in the image information when the specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 is designated. (See Figure 13).

The highlighting procedure 18 further searches for a code region of the designated code 6 in the image information code table when any code 6 (e.g., B) in the image information 3b is designated, and the code. Based on (6), the corresponding specific phrase 4 in the specific phrase table is searched and the corresponding specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 is highlighted on the screen of the computer (see FIG. 14).

Further, the highlighting procedure 18 simultaneously highlights the sign 6 in the designated image information 3b and the specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 when the sign 6 in the image information 3b is designated. You may make it (refer FIG. 15).

Fig. 16 is a schematic structural diagram showing an editing program for an electronic document in the third invention. This editing program causes the control unit (CPU) 29 of the computer to execute the image information code acquisition procedure 7, the specific phrase acceptance procedure 10, and the highlighting procedure 28.

The image information code acceptance procedure 7 is the same as that of the first and second inventions (see FIG. 3), and a plurality of types of codes 6 existing in the image information 3a, 3b, 3c by OCR recognition, respectively, The code area in which the code 6 is described is taken as code position information, and an image information code table is created. When there are a plurality of identical codes 6 in one image information, the code area of each code 6 is taken as code position information.

The specific phrase accepting procedure 10 is the same as that of the second invention (see FIG. 10), and accepts the code 6 and the specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 as the specific phrase information to create a specific phrase table.

The highlighting procedure 18 associates the code position information received in the image information code acquisition procedure 7 with the specific phrase information received in the specific phrase acceptance procedure 10, as well as the code 6 and the specific information as shown in FIG. 17. A table 30 showing the correspondence of the phrase 4 is displayed on the screen of the computer. When the arbitrary code 6 or the specific phrase 4 in the table 30 is designated, the specific phrase 4 in the symbol 6 and the sentence information 2 in the image information 3b corresponding thereto and The code 6 is highlighted on the screen of the computer (see FIGS. 18 and 19).

As described above, the editing program for the electronic document according to the first invention causes the computer to perform the image information receiving procedure and the highlighting procedure, and either one of the code in the sentence information and the code in the image information is specified. When one of them and at least the other of them is highlighted on the screen.

Thus, by designating an arbitrary code 6 in the sentence information 2 and highlighting the same code 6 in the image information 3a, 3b, 3c on the screen, or in any of the image information 3a, 3b, 3c. By designating the sign 6 of the sentence information 2, the same sign 6 in the sentence information 2 is highlighted on the screen to follow the highlighted sign 6 and the specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 and the image information 3a. The specific place 5 in, 3b, 3c can be deleted immediately.

The editing program for the electronic document according to the second invention is to execute an image information encoding procedure, a specific phrase acceptance procedure, and a highlighting procedure on a computer, whichever is the specific phrase in the sentence information or the code in the image information. When one side is designated, at least one of them and the other is highlighted on the screen.

Thus, by specifying an arbitrary phrase 4 in the sentence information 2, the corresponding code 6 in the image information 3a, 3b, 3c is highlighted on the screen, or the image information 3a, 3b, 3c. Of the sentence information (2) by following the highlighted symbol (6) or the specific phrase (4) by highlighting the corresponding specific phrase (4) in the sentence information (2) on the screen by specifying an arbitrary code (6) The specific phrase 4 and the specific place 5 in the image information 3a, 3b, 3c can be deleted immediately.

Further, the program for editing an electronic document according to the third aspect of the present invention is such that the computer executes an image information code receiving procedure, a specific word receiving procedure, and a highlighting procedure, and any code or specific phrase in the table created in the highlighting procedure. When is specified, the specific phrase in the code and the sentence information in the image information associated with it is highlighted on the screen.

Thus, any specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 is designated to display the corresponding code 6 in the image information 3a, 3b, 3c and the corresponding specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 on the screen. By highlighting on the image, the specific phrase 4 in the sentence information 2 and the specific place 5 in the image information 3a, 3b, 3c can be deleted.

As described above, according to these inventions, even if the image information 3a, 3b, 3c is a complicated drawing or photograph, or an electronic document in which many leader lines or codes are attached in the image information 3a, 3b, 3c, the sentence information and the image are provided. The present invention has a considerably high industrial applicability since information can be edited in a form that can be easily erased on a computer screen, and waste of having paper information as image information for understanding an electronic document can be eliminated.
