Referring to FIG. 1 , a document editing apparatus 110 that performs hiding processing of some figures by setting 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 connecting line connecting any two figures among a plurality of figures inserted by a user is input by the user, the relationship setting unit 111 sets the figure from which each of the at least one connecting line starts as a parent. By setting a figure as a figure, and setting a figure targeted by each of the at least one connecting line as a child figure dependent on a parent figure corresponding to each connecting line, a dependency relationship between figures connected by each of the at least one connecting line is set do.

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

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

In addition, the relationship setting unit 111 sets the 'Figure 2' 212 where the 'connection line 3' 218 starts as the parent figure, and the 'Figure 4' 214 that the 'connection line 3' 218 targets. 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 set as a parent figure. The target 'figure 5' 215 may be set as a child figure subordinate to the '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 hiding command for a first figure, which is one of the plurality of figures, is received from the user, the lower figure check unit 112 checks whether a child figure subordinate to the first figure exists, and the first figure When it is confirmed that the first child figure exists as a child figure dependent on At least one first sub-figure in a lower layer of the first figure is identified by performing sequentially on the first figure.

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

That is, the lower figure confirmation unit 112 confirms that 'Figure 5' 215 exists as another child figure subordinate to 'Figure 3' (213), and 'Figure 4' (214) subordinated or If it is confirmed that other child figures do not exist, it can be checked whether another child figure dependent on 'Figure 5' 215 exists, and another child figure dependent on 'Figure 5' 215 does not exist. '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) It can be confirmed that there is

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

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

For example, according to the above-described example, the hiding processing unit 113 may check whether a parent figure for 'Figure 2' 212 exists, and 'Figure 1' 211 as a parent figure for 'Figure 2' 212. ), after hiding the 'connection line 1' 216 targeting the 'Figure 2' 212 and the '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 '218 and 'connection line 4' 219 targeting 'Figure 5' 215 may be further 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). ), the hidden icon 221 may be generated, and then the hidden icon 221 may be displayed in the predetermined icon display area 222 indicated by a dotted line on the 'Figure 1' 211 .

At this time, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the hiding processing unit 113 checks whether a parent figure for the first figure exists, and when it is confirmed that the parent figure for the first figure does not exist, the first figure Without hiding the figure and the connecting line targeting the first figure, only the connecting line targeting the at least one first sub figure and the at least one first sub figure may be hidden.

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

For example, unlike the above example, it is assumed that a hiding 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 of FIG. , the lower figure confirmation unit 112 is at least one first lower figure in the lower layer of 'Figure 1' (211), 'Figure 2' (212), which is a child figure subordinate to 'Figure 1' (211), 'Figure 3' 213, which is another child figure subordinate to 'Figure 2' (212), 'Figure 4' (214), and 'Figure 5' which is another child figure subordinate to 'Figure 3' (213) (215) can be seen.

At this time, the hiding processing unit 113 may check whether a parent figure for 'Figure 1' 211 exists, and if it is confirmed that the parent figure for 'Figure 1' 211 does not exist, 'Figure 1' ( 211) and 'Figure 1' (211), as shown in reference numeral 220, 'Figure 2' (212), 'Figure 3' (213), 'Figure 2' (212), 'Figure 3' (213), ' 'Connecting line 1' 216 targeting 'Figure 4' 214 and 'Figure 5' 215 and 'Figure 2' 212, 'Connecting line 2' 217 targeting 'Figure 3' 213 , 'connection line 3' 218 targeting 'figure 4' 214 and 'connection line 4' 219 targeting 'figure 5' 215 may be hidden.

Then, the hidden icon display unit 114 may display a first guide message indicating that 'Figure 1' 211 is a figure in the uppermost layer and thus cannot be hidden on the screen, 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. After creation, the hidden icon 221 may be displayed in the icon display area 222 indicated by a dotted line on the 'Figure 1' 211 .

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the hiding processing unit 113 is configured to, when at least one figure among the at least one first sub-figure is set as a parent figure for the first figure, the first figure, The hiding process may not be performed on the connecting line targeting the first figure, the at least one first sub figure, and the connecting line targeting the at least one first sub figure.

In this case, the hidden icon display unit 114 performs hiding processing on the first figure, a connecting line targeting the first figure, the at least one first sub figure, and a connecting line targeting the at least one first sub figure. Otherwise, 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 guide message may be displayed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3 , a 'connection line 5' 311 connecting the 'Figure 5' 215 and the 'Figure 2' 212 is additionally input by the user in the above-described example, and the relationship setting unit 111 ( 215), and as a hiding command for '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 sub-figure in the lower layer of 'Figure 2' 212. Let's assume it's confirmed.

In this way, 'Figure 5' 215, which is any one of 'Figure 3' 213, 'Figure 4' 214, and 'Figure 5' 215, which is the at least one first sub-figure, is 'Figure 2' When it is set as the parent figure for the 212, the hiding processing unit 113 performs the 'figure 2' 212, the 'connection line 1' 216 targeting the 'figure 2' 212, and the at least one second 1 'Connecting line 2' (217), 'Figure 4' ( The hiding process may not be performed on the 'connection line 3' 218 targeting 214 and the 'connection line 4' 219 targeting the 'figure 5' 215 .

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

Also, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the document editing apparatus 110 may further include an unfold processing unit 115 .

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

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

In this case, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the document editing apparatus 110 may further include a size changer 116 .

The size change unit 116 includes a connecting line targeting the first figure and the first figure through the unfolding processing unit 115 and a connecting line targeting each of the at least one first sub figure and the at least one first sub figure After being displayed on the screen, when 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 according to the 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 is , 'Figure 3' 213, 'Figure 4' 214, and 'Figure 5' 215 are identified as at least one first sub-figure in a lower layer of 'Figure 2' 212.

At this time, after all hidden figures are unfolded through the unfolding processing unit 115, as shown in FIG. 4, when the size of the 'figure 2' 212 is changed by the user as shown in reference numeral 411, the size change unit 116 Changes the size of 'Figure 3' (213) as shown in reference numeral 412 in response to the size change rate of 'Figure 2' (212), and changes the size of 'Figure 4' (214) as shown in reference numeral 413, , the size of the 'Figure 5' 215 may be changed as shown in reference numeral 414 .

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

The figure deleting unit 117 includes a connecting line targeting the first figure and the first figure through the unfolding processing unit 115 and a connecting line targeting each of the at least one first sub figure and the at least one first sub figure After being displayed on this screen, when a deletion command for the first figure is received from the user, the first figure, a connecting line starting from the first figure, and a connecting line targeting the first figure are deleted.

When the first figure, a connecting line starting from the first figure, and a connecting line targeting the first figure are deleted, the relationship resetting unit 118 checks whether a parent figure of the first figure exists, and the first figure When it is confirmed that the first parent figure exists as a parent figure for a figure, the first parent figure is reset as a parent figure for the first child figure, and the first child figure is subordinated to the first parent figure After resetting to the designated child figure, a new connection line starting from the first parent figure and targeting the first child figure is generated 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 is , 'Figure 3' (213) and 'Figure 4' (214) are confirmed to exist as child figures subordinate to 'Figure 2' (212), and another child figure dependent on 'Figure 3' (213) 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 are unfolded through the unfolding processing unit 115, the figure deleting unit 117 performs the 'Figure 2' (212), 'Connecting Line 2' 217 starting from 'Figure 2' 212, 'Connecting Line 3' 218 starting from 'Figure 2' 212 and 'Connecting Line 1' targeting 'Figure 2' 212 (216) may be deleted.
