- the overall layout may change as the display is updated by the HTML unit 50.
- the layout of the display area for each plug-in is updated by a configuration that manages the layout of the screen, for example, a plug-in that is responsible for displaying the top node.
- the HTML unit 50 first draws a part that it is in charge of and determines the size of the display area. Then, it notifies the configuration that manages the layout of the screen of the size of the display area after the change, and requests a layout update.
- the configuration that manages the layout of the screen receives the notification and re-lays out the display area for each plug-in. In this way, the display of the edited part is updated appropriately, and the layout of the entire screen is updated.
- H TML HyperText Markup Language
- XML eXtens3 ⁇ 4le Markup Languag e
- Simple browser power for accessing and browsing web documents Developed in an object-oriented programming language such as Java.
- Documents written in a markup language are usually expressed in the form of a tree data structure in browsers and other applications. This structure corresponds to the tree of the results of parsing the document.
- the DOM (Document Object Model) is a well-known tree-based data structure model used to represent and manipulate documents.
- the DOM provides a standard set of objects for representing documents, including HTML and XML documents.
- the DOM includes two basic components: a standard model of how objects that represent components in a document are connected, and a standard interface for accessing and manipulating those objects.
- a DOM tree is a hierarchical representation of a document based on the contents of the corresponding DOM.
- a DOM tree contains a “root” and one or more “nodes” that originate from the root. In some cases, the root represents the entire document. Intermediate nodes can represent elements such as rows and columns in a table and its table, for example.
- a “leaf” in a DOM tree usually represents data such as text or images that cannot be further decomposed!
- Each node in the DOM tree may be associated with attributes that describe the parameters of the element represented by the node, such as font, size, color, and indentation.
- HTML is a language for power formatting and layout, which is a commonly used language for creating documents, and is not a language for data description.
- HTML document The node of the DOM tree that expresses is a pre-defined element as an HTML formatting tag. Normally, HTML does not provide functions for data detailing or data tagging Z labeling. Therefore, it is often difficult to formulate queries for data in HTML documents.
- XML XML Markup Language
- HTML HyperText Markup Language
- XSL XML Style Language
- Xpath provides common syntax and semantics for specifying the location of parts of an XML document.
- An example of functionality is traversing (moving) a DOM tree corresponding to an XML document. It provides basic functionality for string, number, and Boolean character manipulation associated with various representations of XML documents.
- Xpath is the visual syntax of XML documents, such as the number of lines and the number of characters when viewed as text! It works with a simple structure. Using Xpath, you can specify a location through a hierarchical structure in the DOM tree of an XML document, for example. In addition to its use for addressing, Xpath is also designed to be used to test whether a node in a DOM tree matches a pattern.
- XPath More details on XPath can be found at http: ⁇ www. W3.org/TR/xpath.
- XML markup language
- An effective document processing system is required.
- MVC Modd-View-Controller
- the MVC paradigm divides an application or part of an application interface into three parts: a model, a view, and a controller. MVC was originally developed to assign traditional input, processing, and output roles to the GUI world.
- model M
- view V
- controller C
- the controller acts to interpret input such as mouse and keyboard input from the user and map these user actions to commands sent to the model and Z or view to bring about appropriate changes.
- the model acts to manage one or more data elements, responds to queries about its state, and responds to instructions to change the state. Views work to manage the rectangular area of the display and have the ability to present data to the user through a combination of graphics and text
- FIG. 11 (a) shows a conventional configuration example of elements that function as the basis of a document processing system of the type described later.
- Configuration 10 includes a processor of the type such as a CPU or mic processor 11 connected to memory 12 by communication path 13.
- Memory 12 may be in any ROM and Z or RAM format available now or in the future.

- This configuration may be stand-alone, or may be a networked form in which a plurality of terminals and one or more servers are connected, or may be configured in a known manner. Yes.
- the present invention is not limited by the arrangement of these components, the centralized or distributed architecture, or the communication method of the various components.
- the present system and the embodiments discussed herein are discussed as including several components and subcomponents that provide various functionalities. These components and sub-components can be realized with hardware only or software alone, not just a combination of hardware and software, to provide the noted functionality. Furthermore, the hardware, software, and combinations thereof can be realized by general-purpose computing devices, dedicated hardware, or combinations thereof. Thus, the configuration of a component or subcomponent includes a general-purpose Z-only computing device that executes specific software to provide the functionality of the component or subcomponent.
- FIG. 11B shows an overall block diagram of an example of the document processing system.
- a document is generated and edited.
- These documents may be described in any language having markup language characteristics, such as XML.
- markup language characteristics such as XML.
- the document processing system can be regarded as having two basic configurations.
- the first configuration is an “execution environment” 101 that is an environment in which the document processing system operates.
- the execution environment provides basic utilities and functions that support the system as well as the user during document processing and management.
- the second configuration is an “application” 102 that also includes application capabilities that run in the execution environment. These applications include the document itself and various representations of the document.
- Programlnvoker 103 is a basic program that is accessed to activate the document processing system. For example, when a user logs on to a document processing system and starts, Programlnvokerl03 is executed. Programlnvoker 103 can, for example, read and execute functions stored as plug-ins in the document processing system, start and execute applications, and read properties related to documents. The function of Programlnvokerl03 is not limited to these. When a user launches an application that is intended to run in the execution environment, Programlnvokerl03 finds the application, launches it, and executes the application.
- Programlnvoker 103 several components such as a plug-in subsystem 104, a command subsystem 105, and a Resource module 109 are attached. These configurations will be described in detail below.
- Plug-in subsystem 104 is used as a highly flexible and efficient configuration for adding functionality to a document processing system.
- the plug-in subsystem 104 can also be used to modify or delete functionality that exists in the document processing system.
- a wide variety of functions can be added or modified using the plug-in subsystem. For example, it is possible to add an Editlet function that works to support the drawing of a document on the screen.
- the Editlet plug-in also supports editing of vocabularies that are added to the system.
- the plug-in subsystem 104 includes a Service Broker (service broker: service mediation unit) 1041.
- ServiceBrokerl041 mediates services added to the document processing system by managing plug-ins added to the document processing system.
- Service 1042 Individual functions that achieve the desired functionality are added to the system in the form of Service 1042.
- Available Servicel042 types are: Application (Service), ZoneFactory (Zone Factory: Zone Generator) Service, Editlet (Editlet: Editor) Service, CommandFactory (Command Factory: Command Generator) Service ⁇ C onnectXPath (Connect XPath: XPath Management Department) Service, CSSComputation (CSS (Utilization: CSS Calculation Department) Power including Service, etc. It is not limited to these.
- a plug-in is a unit that can contain one or more Service Providers (Service Providers). Each ServiceProvider has one or more classes of Service associated with it. For example, by using a single plug-in with the appropriate software application, one or more services can be added to the system, thereby adding the corresponding functionality to the system.
- Service Providers Service Providers
- Each ServiceProvider has one or more classes of Service associated with it. For example, by using a single plug-in with the appropriate software application, one or more services can be added to the system, thereby adding the corresponding functionality to the system.
- Command subsystem 105 is used to execute instructions in the form of commands related to document processing.
- a user can execute an operation on a document by executing a series of instructions. For example, a user edits an XML DOM tree corresponding to an XML document in the document processing system by issuing an instruction in the form of a command, and processes the XML document. These commands may be entered using keystrokes, mouse clicks, or other valid user interface actions.
- One command may execute more than one instruction. In this case, these instructions are wrapped in one command and executed sequentially. For example, suppose a user wants to replace an incorrect word with a correct word. In this case, the first command is to find the wrong word in the document, the second command is to delete the wrong word, and the third command is to insert the correct word. It may be. These three instructions may be wrapped in one command.
- the command may have a related function, for example, an "Undo" function, which will be described in detail later. These functions may also be assigned to some base classes that are used to create objects.
- a key component of the command subsystem 105 is a Commandlnvoker (command invoking force: command activation unit) 105 1 which acts to selectively give and execute a command.
- Figure 11 (b) shows only one Commandlnvoker, but one or more Co mmandlnvoker may be used One or more commands may be executed simultaneously.
- Com mandlnvokerl051 holds functions and classes necessary for executing commands.
- a Command 1052 to be executed is loaded into Queue 1 053.
- Commandlnvoker creates a command thread that runs continuously. If there is no Command already running in Commandlnvoker, Commandl052 intended to be executed by Commandlnvoker 1051 is executed.
- Commandlnvoker If Commandlnvoker is already executing a command, the new Command will be stacked at the end of Queuel053. However, each Commandlnvokerl051 executes only one Command at a time. CommandlnvokerlO 51 executes exception handling when execution of the specified Command fails.
- Command types executed by Commandlnvokerl051 include, but are not limited to, UndoableCommand (undoable command) 1054, AsynchronousCommand (asynchronous command) 1055, and VCCo mmand (VC command) 1056.
- UndoableCommand 10 54 is a command that can cancel the result of the command if the user desires it. Examples of UndoableCommands include cut, copy, and insert text. In operation, when a user selects a part of a document and applies a cut command to that part, the cut-out part can be “cut off, if necessary” by using UndoableCommand. Can be.
- VCCommand1056 is stored in a Vocabulary Connection Descriptor (VCD) script file. These are user-specified commands that can be defined by the programmer.
- the Command may be a more abstract combination of Comm and for adding an XML fragment, deleting an XML fragment, or setting an attribute, for example. These commands are specifically focused on document editing.
- AsynchronousCommand 105 is a command from the system such as loading and saving of a document, and is executed asynchronously separately from UndoableCommand and VCCommand. Async hronousCommand is not an UndoableCommand and cannot be undone.
- Resources Resourcel09 is an object that provides several functions to various classes. For example, string resources, icons, and default key bindings are examples of resources used in the system.
- the application component 102 which is the second main feature of the document processing system, is executed in the execution environment 101.
- Application component 102 includes the actual document and various logical and physical representations of the document in the system.
- the application component 102 includes the configuration of the system used to manage the document.
- the application component 102 further includes a UserApplication (user application) 106, an application core 108, a user interface 107, and a Core Component (core component) 110.
- UserApplicationl06 is loaded on the system together with Programlnvokerl03.
- User Application 106 is an adhesive that connects the document, various representations of the document, and the user interface required to interact with the document. For example, suppose a user wants to generate a set of documents that are part of a project. When these documents are loaded, an appropriate representation of the document is generated. The user interface function is added as part of UserApplication06. In other words, UserApplication 106 holds both the representation of the document that allows the user to interact with the document that forms part of the project, and various aspects of the document. And once UserApplication06 is created, whenever the user wants to interact with the documents that form part of the project, the user can easily load UserApplication10 on the execution environment.
- CoreComponentl 10 provides a way to share documents between multiple panes.
- Pane displays the DOM tree and handles the physical layout of the screen.
- a physical screen can also have multiple Pane forces in the screen that depict individual pieces of information.
- Documents visible to the user from the screen can appear in one or more panes.
- two different documents may appear in two different panes on the screen!
- the physical layout of the screen is also in the form of a tree.
- a Pane can be a RootPane 1084 or a SubPane 1085.
- RootPanel084 is a Pane that hits the root of the Pane tree
- SubPane 10 85 is any Pane other than RootPanel084.
- CoreComponentlO also provides fonts and serves as a source of multiple functional operations for documents, such as toolkits.
- An example of a task performed by CoreComponentl 10 is moving the mouse cursor between multiple panes.
- Another example of a task to be performed is to mark a part of a document in one pane and copy it onto another pane that contains a different document.
- the application component 102 consists of documents that are processed and managed by the system. This includes various logical and physical representations of documents within the system.
- the application core 108 is a configuration of the application component 102. Its function is to keep the actual document with all the data it contains.
- the application core 108 includes DocumentManager (document manager: document management unit) 1081 and Document (document: document) 1082 itself.
- DocumentManager1081 manages Documentl082.
- DocumentManagerl081 is also connected to RootPanel084, Sub Pane 1085, ClipBoard (clipboard) utility 1087, and Snapshot (snapshot) utility 1088.
- the ClipBoard utility 1087 provides a way to keep the portion of the document that the user decides to add to the clipboard. For example, a user may want to cut a part of a document and save it in a new document for later review. In such cases, it is added to the clipped partial force SClipBoard.
- the Snapshot utility 1088 allows the current state of an application to be stored when the application transitions from one state force to another.
- d) User interface Another configuration of application component 102 is a user interface 107 that provides a means for a user to physically interact with the system.
- the user interface is used by users to upload, delete, edit, and manage documents.
- the user interface includes Frame 1071, MenuBar 1072, StatusBar 1073, and URLBar 1074.
- Framel071 is considered to be an active area of the physical screen, as is generally known.
- MenuBarl072 is a screen area that contains menus that provide selection to the user.
- StatusBarl073 is a screen area that displays the execution status of the application.
- URLBarl074 provides an area for entering URL addresses to navigate the Internet.
- FIG. 12 shows the details of DocumentManagerl081. This includes the data structures and structures used to represent the document within the document processing system. For simplicity, the configuration described in this subsection is described using the MVC paradigm.
- DocumentManager081 includes DocumentContainer (document container: document container) 203 that holds and hosts all documents in the document processing system.
- the tool kit 201 attached to Document Managerl081 provides various tools used by DocumentManagerl081.
- DomService DOM service
- IOManager input / output manager
- StreamHandler is a tool that handles uploading documents using bitstreams.
- the model (M) is the DOM tree model of the document 202 including. As mentioned above, all documents are represented as DOM trees in the document processing system. The document also forms part of the DocumentContainer 203.
- a DOM tree representing a document is a tree having Node 2021.
- Zone 209 which is a subset of the DOM tree, contains the associated region of one or more nodes in the DOM tree. For example, only a part of the document can be displayed on the screen, but this part of the visualized document is displayed using the Zone 209.
- ZoneFactory zone factory: zone generation unit
- a Zone may use a “namespace” with a power of 1 or more to express part of the DOM.
- a namespace is a collection of names that are unique within a namespace. In other words, the same name does not exist in the namespace.
- the Facet 2022 is another configuration within the model (M) part of the MVC paradigm. Facet is used to edit Nodes in the Zone. Facet 2022 organizes access to the DOM using procedures that can be executed without affecting the contents of the Zone itself. As explained next, these procedures perform important and useful operations related to Node.
- Each Node has a corresponding Facet. Instead of directly manipulating Nodes in the DOM, the integrity of the DOM is protected by using Facet to perform the operations. If the operation is performed directly on Node, several plug-ins can modify the DOM at the same time, resulting in inconsistencies.
- the DOM standard established by the W3C has the power to define a standard interface for operating Nodes. Actually, there are operations specific to each library or each Node. It is convenient to prepare it as an API. In the document processing system, APIs specific to each node are prepared as Facet and attached to each node. This makes it possible to add useful APIs while complying with the DOM standard. In addition, a variety of uniforms can be handled uniformly by adding a specific API to the standard DOM implementation instead of implementing a specific DOM for each specific vocabulary. It is possible to properly process a document in which a plurality of bubbly libraries are mixed in an arbitrary combination.
- the vocabulary is a set of tags (for example, XML tags) belonging to the namespace.
- a namespace has a unique set of names (here, tags).
- the vocabulary appears as a subtree of the DOM tree that represents the XML document. This subtree contains Z one.
- tag set boundaries are defined by Zones.
- Zone 209 is generated using a service called ZoneFactory205. As described above, Zone 209 is an internal representation of a part of the DOM tree that represents a document. A logical representation is required to provide access to some of these documents. This logical representation informs the computer how the document is logically represented on the screen.
- Canvas 210 is a service that acts to provide a logical layout corresponding to the Zone.
- the Pane 211 is a physical screen layout corresponding to the logical layout provided by the Canvas 210.
- the user sees only the rendering of the document with text and images on the display screen. Therefore, the document must be drawn on the screen by the process of drawing characters and images on the screen.
- the document is rendered on the screen by Canvas 210 based on the physical layout provided by Pane211.
- a Canvas 210 corresponding to Zone 209 is generated using Editlet 206.
- the document DOM is edited using Editlet 206 and Canvas 210.
- Editlet 206 and Canvas 210 use Facet corresponding to one or more Nodes in Zone209. These services do not directly operate Zone and Node in DOM. Facet is operated using Command207.
- a user generally interacts with the screen by moving a cursor on the screen or typing a command.
- the Canvas 210 that provides a logical layout on the screen accepts this cursor operation.
- Canvas210 can cause Facet to execute the corresponding action.
- the cursor subsystem 204 functions as a controller (C) of the MVC paradigm with respect to DocumentManager 081.
- Canvas210 also has a task to handle events. For example, Canvas210 is a mouse click, focus move, And handles events such as similar actions triggered by the user.
- Documents in a document processing system can be viewed from at least four perspectives. 1) data structure used to maintain document content and structure in the document processing system, 2) means to edit document content without affecting document integrity, 3) document content Logical layout on the screen, 4) Physical layout on the document screen. Z one, Facet, Canvas, and Pane represent the components of the document processing system that correspond to the above four viewpoints.
- UndoManager Undo Manager 2121 holds operations for all documents that may be canceled by the user.
- the undo subsystem 212 supports such operations.
- the UndoManager 2121 holds the operation of such an Undoabl eEdit (Undoable Edit) 2122.
- the controller portion of the MVC may include a cursor subsystem 204.
- the cursor subsystem 204 also accepts user power. These inputs generally have the nature of commands and Z or editing operations.
- the cursor subsystem 204 can be thought of as the controller (C) portion of the MVC paradigm associated with DocumentManager1081.
- Canvas 210 represents a logical layout of a document to be presented on the screen.
- Canvas 210 may include a box tree 208 that logically represents how the document looks on the screen.
- This box tree 208 is a Doc It will be included in the view (V) part of the MVC paradigm associated with umentManager 1081.
- XML documents can be handled by mapping them to other representations, and if the mapped representations are edited, the edits remain consistent with the original XML document. It is to provide an environment that is reflected.
- a document described in a markup language for example, an XML document is created based on a vocabulary defined by a document type definition.
- a bokeh library is a set of tags. Since a vocabulary may be arbitrarily defined, there can be an infinite number of vocabularies. However, it is impractical to provide a dedicated processing Z management environment for each of the many possible bubbly libraries. Vocabulary connection provides a way to solve this problem.
- a document may be described in two or more markup languages.
- Documents may be written in, for example, XHTML (.extensible HyperText Markup Language), 3 ⁇ 4 V "G (Scalable Vector Grap hies), MathML (Mathematical Markup Language), or other markup languages.
- XHTML .extensible HyperText Markup Language
- 3 ⁇ 4 V "G Scalable Vector Grap hies
- MathML MathML
- a markup language may be viewed in the same way as a vocabulary tag set in XML.
- the vocabulary is processed using the vocabulary plug-in.
- Documents written in a library where plug-ins are not available in the document processing system are displayed by mapping to documents in another library where plug-ins are available. Because of this feature, it is possible to properly display a document in a library that does not have a plug-in.
- a vocabulary connection includes the ability to obtain a definition file and map between two different vocabularies based on the obtained definition file.
- a document written in one vocabulary can be mapped to another vocabulary.
- the vocabulary connection allows the document to be displayed and edited by the display Z editing plug-in corresponding to the vocabulary to which the document is mapped.
- each document is generally described in the document processing system as a DOM tree having a plurality of nodes.
- the “definition file” is for each node. Describe the correspondence between this node and other nodes. It is specified whether the element value and attribute value of each node can be edited. An arithmetic expression using the element value or attribute value of the node may be described.
- a destination DOM tree to which a definition file is applied is generated using the feature of mapping. In this way, the relationship between the source DOM tree and the destination DOM tree is constructed and maintained.
- the vocabulary connection monitors the correspondence between the source DOM tree and the destination DOM tree. When user power is also instructed to edit, the vocabulary connection changes the associated node in the source DOM tree. A “mutation event” is issued to indicate that the source DOM tree has changed, and the destination DOM tree is changed accordingly.
- the vocabulary connection subsystem that is a part of the document processing system provides a function that enables a plurality of expressions of a document.
- FIG. 13 shows a Vocabulary Connection (VC) subsystem 300.
- the VC subsystem 300 provides a way to maintain the consistency of two alternative representations of the same document.
- the two representations may be representations of the same document from two different vocabularies.
- one may be the source DOM tree and the other may be the destination DOM tree.
- the functions of the vocabulary connection subsystem 300 are realized in a document processing system using a plug-in called VocabularyConnection301.
- VocabularyConnection301 For each Vocabulary 305 in which the document is represented, a corresponding plug-in is required. For example, if a part of a document is written in HTML and the rest is written in SVG, a browser library corresponding to HTML and SVG is required.
- VocabularyConnection plug-in 301 now supports the appropriate Vocabularv305 document Generate appropriate VCCanvas 310 for Zone209 or Pane211.
- VocabularyConnection 301 changes to Zone 209 in the source DOM tree are communicated to the corresponding Zone in another DOM tree 306 by the conversion rule.
- the conversion rule is described in the form of a Vocabulary Connection Descriptor (VCD). For each VCD file corresponding to such a conversion between the source DOM and the destination DOM! /, A corresponding VCMa nager 302 is created.
- VCD Vocabulary Connection Descriptor
- Connector 304 connects the source node of the source DOM tree and the destination node of the destination DOM tree. Connector 304 acts to see modifications (changes) to the source node in the source DOM tree and the source document corresponding to the source node. Then modify the corresponding destination DOM tree node. Connector 304 is the only object that can modify the destination DOM tree. For example, the user can make modifications only to the source document and the corresponding source DOM tree. Connector 304 then makes the corresponding modifications to the destination DOM tree.
- the connectors 304 are logically linked to form a tree structure.
- the tree formed by the connector 304 is called ConnectorTree (connector tree).
- Connect or 304 is generated using a service called ConnectorFactory (connector factory: connector generation unit) 303.
- ConnectorFactory303 generates Connector304 from the source document and links them to form ConnectorTree.
- VocabularyConnectionManager r302 holds ConnectorFactory303.
- the bubbly library is a set of tags in the namespace.
- Vocabulary 305 is generated for a document by VocabularyConnection 301. This is done by parsing the document file and generating an appropriate VocabularyConnectionManager 302 for mapping between the source DOM and the destination DOM.
- ConnectorFactory303 that generates Connector
- ZoneF actory205 that generates Zone209
- Editlet206 that generates Canvas corresponding to the nodes in Zone Relationship is made.
- the corresponding vocabulary connection manager 302 is deleted.
- Vocabulary 305 generates VCCanvas310. Further, a connector 304 and a destination DOM tree 306 are generated correspondingly.
- the source DOM and Canvas correspond to the model (M) and the view (V), respectively.
- M model
- V view
- a bokeh rib laggin Vocabulary plug-ins are provided for major vocabulary libraries such as XHTML, SVG, and MathML.
- Bobber rib lagins are used in conjunction with the target bobbler. These provide a way to map between vocabularies using vocabulary connection descriptors.
- mapping is meaningful only when the target library can be mapped and the method of drawing on the screen is predefined.
- rendering methods are standards defined by organizations such as W3C, such as XHTML.
- VCCanvas is used when a vocabulary connection is required.
- the source canvas cannot be generated because the source view cannot be generated directly.
- it is generated using VCCanvas force ConnectorTree. This VCCanvas only handles event conversion and does not assist in rendering the document on the screen.
- the purpose of the vocabulary connection subsystem is to simultaneously generate and maintain two representations of the same document.
- the second representation is also in the form of a DOM tree, which has already been described as a destination DOM tree. DestinationZone, Canvas and Pane are needed to see the document in the second representation.
- VCCanvas When VCCanvas is created, a corresponding DestinationPane307 is created. In addition, an associated DestinationCanvas 308 and a corresponding BoxTree 309 are generated. Similarly, VCC anvas 310 is associated with Pane 211 and Zone 209 for the source document.
- DestinationCanvas308 provides a logical layout of the document in the second representation The In particular, DestinationCanvas 308 provides user interface functions such as cursors and selections to depict documents in the destination representation. Events that occur in Destination Canvas 308 are supplied to the Connector. DestinationCanvas 308 notifies Connector 304 of mouse events, keyboard events, drag and drop events, and events specific to the document destination (second) representation of the library.
- VC vocabulary connection
- VC vocabulary connection
- the vocabulary connection command subsystem 313 generates a VCCommand (vocabulary connection command) 315 that is used to execute instructions related to the vocabulary connection subsystem 300.
- the VCCo mmand can be generated by using the built-in CommandTemplate 318 and by using the script language in the Z or script subsystem 314 to generate the scratch command as well.
- Examples of the command template include an "If" command template, a "When” command template, and an "Insert” command template. These templates are used to create V CCommand.
- Connector 304 generally includes xpath information. As mentioned above, one of the tasks of the vocabulary connection is to reflect changes in the source DOM tree in the destination DOM tree.
- the xpath information contains one or more xpath expressions that are used to determine the subset of the source DOM tree that should be monitored for change Z modifications.
- the source DOM tree is a DOM tree or Zone that represents a document in a vocabulary before being converted to another vocabulary.
- the node in the source DOM tree is called the source node.
- the destination DOM tree is a DOM tree or Zone that represents the same document in a different vocabulary after being converted by mapping, as described above in connection with the vocabulary connection.
- a node in the destination DOM tree is called a destination node.
- ConnectorTree is a hierarchical expression based on a Connector representing the correspondence between a source node and a destination node.
- the Connector monitors the source node and modifications made to the source document and modifies the destination DOM tree.
- the Connector is the only object that is allowed to modify the destination DOM tree.
- An event is a method for describing and executing a user action executed on a program.
- programs had to actively gather information to understand user actions and execute them themselves. This means, for example, that after the program initializes itself, it enters a loop that repeatedly checks the user's actions to take appropriate action when the user takes action on the screen, keyboard, mouse, etc. To do. However, this process is cumbersome. In addition, it requires a program that consumes CPU cycles and loops while waiting for the user to do something.
- a mouse event is an event that occurs from a user's mouse action. User actions involving the mouse are passed to the mouse event by Canva s210. In this way, Canvas can be said to be at the forefront of interaction by users of the system. If necessary, the canvas at the front passes the content related to the event to the child.
- a keystroke event flows from the Canvas 210.
- Keystroke events have immediate focus. That is, it relates to work at any moment.
- the keystroke event input on Canvas210 is passed to its parent.
- Keystrokes are handled by different events that can handle string insertion.
- the event that handles string insertion occurs when a character is inserted using the keyboard.
- Other “events” include, for example, other events that are handled in the same way as drag events, drop events, and mouse events.
- X HTMLCanvasl06 an example of DestinationCanvas
- receives events that occur such as mouse events, keyboard events, drag and drop events, and events specific to the library. These events are notified to the connector 304. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), the event flow in the VocabularyConnection plug-in 301 is as follows. It passes through the destination DOM tree and ConnectorTree.
- Programlnvokerl03 is an execution environment that is executed to start a document processing system. It is a basic program in the precincts. As shown in FIG. 11 (b) and FIG. 11 (c), the User Application 106, 3 ⁇ 4erviceBrokerl04l, Commandlnvokerl051, and Resourcel09 are all connected to Programlnvokerl03. As described above, the application 102 is a component that is executed in the execution environment. Similarly, ServiceBrokerl041 manages plug-ins that support various functions in the system. On the other hand, Commandlnvokerl051 executes instructions provided by the user and holds classes and functions used to execute the commands.
- ServiceBrokerl041 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 14 (b). As described above, ServiceBrokerl041 manages plug-ins (and related services) that add various functions to the system.
- Service 1042 is the lowest layer that can add or change features to the document processing system.
- “Service” consists of two parts, ServiceCategory 401 and ServiceProvider 402. As shown in FIG. 14 (c), one ServiceCategory 401 can have a plurality of related ServiceProviders 402. Each ServiceProvider acts to execute some or all of a specific ServiceCategory. On the other hand, ServiceCategory 401 defines the type of Service.
- Service is 1) “spot color service” that provides a specific spot color to the document processing system, 2) “application service” that is an application executed by the document processing system, and 3 ) is required throughout the document processing system. It can be classified into three types: “environmental services” that provide special features.
- FIG. 14 An example of Service is shown in Fig. 14 (d).
- Application Category is an example of ServiceProvider supported by the system utility.
- Editlet 206 is a Category

- the ZoneFactory 205 is another Category of Service and has a corresponding ServiceProvider (not shown).
- a plug-in may be considered a unit consisting of several ServiceProviders 402 and their associated classes that have already been described as providing functionality to the document processing system. Each plug-in has dependencies and ServiceCategory 401 described in the declaration file.
- Figure 14 (e) shows further details about the relationship between Programlnvokerl03 and UserApplicationl06. Necessary documents and data are loaded from the storage. All necessary plug-ins are loaded on ServiceBrokerl041. ServiceBrokerl041 holds and manages all plug-ins. Plug-ins can be physically added to the system, and their functionality can also be loaded by the storage card. When the plug-in content is loaded, ServiceBrokerl041 defines the corresponding plug-in. Next, the corresponding UserApplication106 is created, loaded into the execution environment 101, and is attacked by Programlnvokerl03.
- Figure 15 (a) shows further details about the configuration of the application service loaded on Programlnvokerl03.
- Comm and lnvokerl051 which is a component of the command subsystem 105, activates or executes Commandl052 in Programlnvokerl03.

- Figure 19 (a) shows an overview of how a document is loaded into the document processing system. Each step is detailed in relation to a specific example in Figures 24-28.
- a document processing system generates a DOM from a binary data stream that is a data force included in a document.
- ApexNode (apex node) is generated for the part of the document that is the target of attention and belongs to the Zone.
- the corresponding Pane is identified.
- the identified pane creates a zone and canvas from the ApexNode and the physical screen surface.
- the Zone then creates Facets for each node and provides the information needed for them.
- Canvas generates a data structure for rendering nodes from a DOM tree.
- a DOM tree 902 of the document is generated.
- a corresponding DocumentContainer 903 is generated to hold the document.

- the corresponding VCD file is read to generate the Vocabulary.
- ConnectorFactory303 is generated.
- the onnectorFactory30d is related to the ZoneFactory that generates the Zone and the Editlet that generates the anvas.
- VCCa nvas also creates an ApexNode Connector in the source DOM tree or Zone. Child connectors are generated recursively as needed. ConnectorTree is created by a set of templates in a VCD file.
- a template is a collection of rules for converting elements of a markup language into other elements. For example, each template is matched to the source DOM tree or Zone. If it matches properly, a vertex connector is created. For example, the template “/ * / D” matches all branches that start with node A and end with node D, regardless of what nodes are in between. Similarly, “ ⁇ B” matches all “B” nodes from the root.
- FIG. 23 shows “VCD using VCManager and ConnectorFactoryTree for MySampleXMLj file.
- VCD Voice Call Language
- ConnectorFactoryTree Shows the vocabulary section and template section in the script file, and the corresponding components in VCManager.

- XHTML ApexNode 1403 is the top node of XHTML with the tag “xhtml: html”.
- “The ApexNodel404 of MySampleX MLJ is the top node of“ MySampleXML ”with the tag“ sample: root ”.
- RootPane In step 2 shown in Fig. 24 (b), RootPane generates XHTMLZone, Facet, and Canvas of the document. It is generated corresponding to Panel407, XHTMLZonel408, XHTMLCanvasl409, and BoxTreel410 force ApexNode 1403.
- step 3 shown in Fig. 24 (c) a tag "sample: root" that XHTMLZone does not know is discovered and a SubPane is generated from the XHTMLCanvas area.
- Step 4 shown in FIG. 25 SubPane can handle “sample: root”, and generate an appropriate Zone.
- This ZoneFactoryi; ZoneFactory line is located in the correct Vocabulary. It contains the contents of the VocabularySection of “MySampleXML”.
- Step 5 shown in FIG. 26 Vocabulary corresponding to “MySampleXML” generates Default Zonel 601. A corresponding Editlet is generated and SubPanel501 is provided to generate the corresponding Canvas. Editlet generates VCCanvas. And it is T Call emplateSection. ConnectorFactoryTree is also included. ConnectorFactoryTree becomes ConnectorTree and generates all connectors.
- each Connector creates a destination DOM object.
- Some of the connectors contain xpath information.
- the xpath information contains one or more xpath expressions that are used to determine the subset of the source DOM tree that needs to be monitored for change Z modifications.

- Figure 29 (a) shows the flow when an event occurs on a node that does not have a corresponding source node and exists only in the destination tree.
- Events acquired by Canvas such as mouse events and keyboard events, pass through the destination tree and reach the ElementTemplateConnector izs. Since ElementTemplateConnector does not have a corresponding node, the transmitted event is not an editing operation on the source node. If the ElementTemplateConnector matches the command set in the OmmandTemplate, the corresponding Action will be executed. If there is no matching command, ElementTemplateConnector ignores the transmitted event.
- FIG. 29 (b) shows a flow when an event occurs on a node of the destination tree associated with the source node by TextOfConnector.
- TextOfConnector gets the node force text node specified by the XPath of the source DOM tree and maps it to the node of the destination DOM tree.
- Events acquired by Canvas such as mouse events and keyboard events, pass through the destination tree and are transmitted to the Text OlConnector.
- TextO! Connector maps the transmitted event to the edit command of the corresponding source node and loads it on Queuel053.
- An edit command is a set of DOM API calls that are executed via Face t. Commands in the queue When executed, the source node is edited.
- TextOfConnector reconstructs the destination tree so that changes in the source node are reflected in the corresponding destination node.
- ConnectorFactory re-evaluates this control statement and reconstructs TextOfConnector, and then the destination. The tree is rebuilt.
