Referring to FIG. 4, in step 401, the processor 120 parses original data of an electronic document and extracts an object constituting original data. In one embodiment, the processor 120 may determine the original data format (type, or format) of the electronic document and may select a parser for parsing the original data according to the original data format of the determined electronic document. The processor 120 may use the selected parser to parse the objects that make up the original data. For example, when the original data of the electronic document is in the portable document format (PDF) format, the processor 120 selects a parser for parsing the original data in PDF format and parses the original data in PDF format using the selected parser . In one embodiment, the object constituting the source data may be data such as an image, a shape, a chart, a style, a theme, or text. However, the object constituting the original data is not limited to this, and may include all the data constituting the original data including the link information.

In one embodiment, the processor 120 may store information about the extracted objects and objects. In one embodiment, the information about the object may be location information in which the object is placed (located) in the original data (or the original electronic document).

In step 403, the processor 120 can specify a canvas. In one embodiment, the canvas may be a skeleton (or frame) that constitutes a thumbnail image that is generated based on an object extracted from the original data. For example, the processor 120 may render (extract or render) objects extracted from the original data to the canvas. In one embodiment, the processor 120 may specify the size of the canvas according to the extracted object. For example, if the extracted object is a text object, the processor 120 can adjust the size of the canvas according to the size of the text. For example, the processor 120 may specify a relatively large size of the canvas if the size of the text is less than a certain criterion (or a predefined criterion). In another example, if the extracted object is an image object, the processor 120 may adjust the size of the canvas according to the size of the image. For example, the processor 120 can specify a relatively large size of the canvas when the size of the image is smaller than a certain standard.

In another embodiment, the processor 120 may specify the size of the canvas according to the format (or attribute) of the electronic document. For example, the processor 120 may specify the size of the canvas differently depending on the format of the electronic document, such as DOC, PDF, TXT, XLS, or PPT format.

At step 405, the processor 120 may render (draw or redraw) the object extracted from the original data of the electronic document on the canvas. In one embodiment, the processor 120 may render the extracted object on a canvas of a specified size, based on information about the extracted object and the extracted object (e.g., location information of the object). For example, the processor 120 may process (or reconstruct) the extracted object based on the size or format of the designated canvas based on the extracted object and positional information that was placed in the original data of the extracted object. Processor 120 may render the machined object on the canvas.

At step 407, the processor 120 may generate a thumbnail image by converting the rendered canvas into a thumbnail image. In one embodiment, the processor 120 may convert the canvas from which the object was rendered to various types of images. For example, the processor 120 may convert a canvas into a thumbnail image in the form of a bitmap image, a joint photographic experts group (JPEG), a graphics interchange format (GIF), a tagged image file format (TIFF) . ≪ / RTI >

In one embodiment, the processor 120 may crop at least a portion of the thumbnail image. For example, the processor 120 may truncate a portion of the thumbnail image. In another example, the processor 120 may adjust the size of the thumbnail image or the aspect ratio of the thumbnail image. In one embodiment, the processor 120 may crop the thumbnail image according to a specified priority. For example, the processor 120 may crop the thumbnail image with priority placed on the centrally located portion of the thumbnail image.
