  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a document shaping apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a document shaping apparatus 100 includes a document shaping means 1 and a document display means 2, and a document shaping means (apparatus) for shaping a document including an attribute indicating a document shaping rule according to a rule corresponding to the attribute. Document display means (apparatus) for displaying the result of document organization is provided.

  In FIG. 1A, the document shaping unit 1 includes an arithmetic processing unit 11 and a database 12. The arithmetic processing means 11 includes a shaping model process (means) 21, a document data input 22, a client document text structure 23, a client document structure recognition 24, a tag setting function 25, a solid document text composition function 26, a solid structure recognition 27, A formatted document text configuration 28 and a formatted document text display 29 are provided.

A shaping model registered in the database 12 can be designated by the shaping model processing 21.
The database 12 stores a registered model 31, a first conversion rule 32, and a second conversion rule 33, and stores various programs and procedures required by computer processing. Further, the database 12 stores a tag assignment rule 34 and various document texts 35.

  The document display means 2 has a document display function, and can display a screen composed of documents on the screen 36.

The document data 37 is input to the document shaping unit 1 from the keyboard or by operating various input units such as a reading unit and stored in the database 12.
FIG. 1B shows a shaping model registration process performed by the shaping model processing function 21 by the arithmetic processing means of the document shaping means 1 described above.

  The shaping model data 38 is input to the arithmetic processing means 11 by operating various input means similar to those described above.

  The shaping model processing 21 can input the shaping model data 38 and perform registration processing. Specifically, the shaping model processing 21 displays a shaping model feature item, which will be described later, for the inputted shaping model on the screen 36, causes the operator to select the shaping model feature item, and combines them to select (specify) the feature item. ), The combined shaping model can be registered. The shaping model instructed for registration is added to the shaping model list, and an ID such as a number is added, or is registered as a shaping model without an ID. The registered shaping model is specified by selecting one of the lists together with the list by the list, so that any feature in each item can be selected from the combination of feature items described above. Can be displayed.

  In the arithmetic processing means 11 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 configured as described above, the document data input means is configured by the document data input 22 for inputting the document data 37.

  The shaping model designating means for designating the registered shaping model displayed on the screen 36 of the document display means 2 by the shaping model processing 21 is configured.

  When the input document data 37 is a document having a hierarchical structure, the client document text structure 23 constitutes client document text composing means for composing the document structure having a hierarchical structure as client document text of an arbitrary style. Therefore, here, “client” means a user such as a user and indicates data before conversion.

  The client document structure recognition unit 24 constitutes client document structure recognition means for analyzing a client document structure having a hierarchical structure by analyzing a client document structure having an arbitrary style for a client document text.

  The tag setting 25 constitutes tag setting means for attaching a tag to the beginning and end of each sentence constituting the client document structure, and to the beginning and end of the unique sentence in each sentence. The tag setting means constitutes a part of the client document structure recognition means, and a tag is attached to each sentence, that is, the sentence head and the sentence end of each character string to recognize the client document structure. Recognition of the client document structure includes recognition of a sentence that can be extracted by a tag attached to the beginning and end of a unique sentence in a character string constituting each sentence. In the above example, the tag is attached to the beginning and end of the sentence, but the tag may be attached only to the beginning of the sentence.

  By using the first exchange rule 32 stored in the database 12 by the solid sentence text structure 26, the client document structure of an arbitrary style can be changed regardless of the formatting model attribute designated by the hierarchical structure. Solid document text composing means for constructing a solid document text of a specific style converted into a solid document structure simply arranged in a flat form.

  By the solid document structure recognition 27, the solid document text having a solid document structure of a specific style has a hierarchical structure, and the solid document structure in which the document structure is recognized is analyzed to have a hierarchical structure. A solid document structure recognizing means for recognizing a solid document structure of a specific style in which is recognized.

  By using the second conversion rule stored in the database 12, the formatted document text configuration 28 converts the recognized solid-style structure of a specific style into a formatted document structure that is formatted according to the attributes of the registered model 31. Formatted document text composing means for composing formatted text of the formatting style is configured.

  The database 12 is the first conversion rule 32, and the attribute of the document in which the text is uniformly converted into a specific solid text arranged in a flat shape regardless of the attributes of the shaping model of the designated shaping model. A rule for determining a conversion method, a second conversion rule, a rule for determining a sentence attribute conversion method for converting to a formatted model sentence according to the attributes of the shaping model and corresponding to the hierarchical structure, and a shaping model, A model whose shaping model feature indicated by the model attribute is predetermined is stored.

  Further, the database 12 stores a rule for attaching a tag to each sentence and a sentence head and a sentence tail of a unique sentence in each sentence (tag assignment rule), and stores a sentence structure including sentences to which a tag is attached. That is, various document texts 35 including the recognized client sentence structure, the recognized solid document structure, and the formed formatted document text are stored.

  The formatted document text composing means configures the specific formatted document text according to the finally specified specific formatting model attribute.

  The document display unit 2 displays the specific formatted document text configured by the formatted document text configuration unit on the screen 36.

  FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the shaping model (registered model) 31 registered in the database 12.

  The shaping model 31 can be expressed in a tabular format consisting of X-axis and Y-axis configurations. A shaping model feature item, which is a shaping model attribute, is set on the X axis, and a shaping model example related to the document name and the document name is set on the Y axis.

  Formatting model attributes include “chapter”, “section” and “section” hierarchy attributes that are sentence structures, text strings that are incidental to sentence structures, line attributes, page format attributes, next page attributes, and other than body text The page format attributes (page number, column sentence), replacement attributes for addition, reduction, correction, and recorded character effect attributes for unique sentences are set.

  As the document name, for example, an instruction manual and an inspection report are set. For example, an installation edition, an analysis edition, and a service man edition are set as a shaping model for the instruction manual. For example, an evaluation is given as a shaping model for the inspection report. Part (1) and evaluation part (2) are set.

  The composition of the sentence is a hierarchical attribute of “chapter”, “section”, and “section”. In this case, the lower order of the term can be set, but in this example, it may be included in the term.

  Examples of various character string information include titles and headings such as chapters, sections, and sections, emphasized characters, and sentences. Correspondingly, the attribute of the sentence structure is that if the character string is a heading, another word, or even a heading, it is a chapter (major heading), section (medium heading), section ( Subheading).

  A text string, a line attribute, a page attribute, a page break attribute, a format attribute other than the body text, a replacement attribute, and / or a recorded character effect attribute can be set as an appendage with the composition of the sentence as a basic attribute. The contents of these attributes are as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 3 shows another database example. Although there is a difference in the composition attribute of the sentence, it is basically the same as the example shown in FIG.

  FIG. 4 shows the conversion from the client document text 41 to the solid document text 42 using the first conversion rule 32, and the solid document text 42 is converted to the formatted document text 43 using the second conversion rule 33. FIG. The first conversion rule 32 and the second conversion rule 33 are stored in the database 12 and are referred to for arithmetic processing by the arithmetic processing means 11 (FIG. 1). A shaping model is specified along with the input of document data.

  FIG. 5 shows another example of the example shown in FIG. 4, which is input in a solid writing state, but is basically the same as the example shown in FIG. 4 when considered as one of arbitrary styles. It is.

  As described above, when the input text data is a document having a hierarchical structure by the client document text composing means, the document structure having the hierarchical structure is configured as the client document text 41 having an arbitrary style. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the client document text in an arbitrary form is analyzed by the client document structure recognizing means by analyzing the client document structure in which the hierarchical sentence structure is an arbitrary style. Thus, a client document structure having a hierarchical structure is recognized.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the client document structure recognizing unit analyzes the document of each layer of the hierarchical structure, and gives a tag (T) to the beginning of the document and the end of the document. The document is recognized as one document. 4 and 5, the tag at the beginning of the sentence is indicated by a mark surrounded by a square, and the tag at the end of the sentence is indicated by a mark surrounded by a square after the line feed mark. Of course, a mark in place of T can be used. The client document structure recognizing means recognizes a unique document by assigning another tag to the head and tail of the unique document when there is a unique document in one document defined by the two tags. To be able to.

  The first conversion rule stored in the database is used by the solid document text composing means, and the client document structure in an arbitrary style is used regardless of the formatting model attribute of the formatting model in which the document structure consisting of the hierarchical structure is specified. A solid document text of a specific style converted to a solid document structure that is simply arranged in a flat form is constructed.

FIG. 7 shows the attributes of the solid document text. FIG. 7A shows the character string, line attribute, and page format attribute for the solid document text attribute. FIGS. 7B and 7C show the character string direction and the line direction for two examples. An example of adding a tag to a solid document text will be described.
A solid document text having a solid document structure of a specific style is composed of a hierarchical structure by a solid document structure recognition means, and the solid document structure in which the document structure is recognized is analyzed to form a hierarchical structure. A solid document structure of a specific style in which is recognized is recognized.

FIG. 8 shows document structure recognition examples (a) and (b) for a solid document text.
Instead of tagging by the client document structure recognition unit, a tag may be added by the solid document structure recognition unit. In this case, when assigning another tag, the unique character and sentence are stored in the database 12, and the tag is assigned to the corresponding solid sentence. It is preferable to add a tag to the client document text as compared to the solid document text. In any case, the solid document structure recognizing means recognizes one document by both tags. The same applies when another tag is assigned.

  As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, by using the second conversion rule 33 stored in the database by the formatted text composing means, the solid document structure of the recognized specific style is determined according to the attributes of the registered formatted model. It is converted into a formatted document structure to form a formatted document text in a formatting style.

  When the above-described client document text is constructed, when inputting the document data, the operator designates a specific specific shaping model and inputs the document data with a structure approximate to the attributes of the shaping model. Therefore, the conversion from the solid document text to the formatted document text is performed quickly and smoothly.

4 and 5, the client document structure is composed of a character string and a line structure including “chapter”, “section”, and “section”.
The client document structure recognizing means recognizes a structure composed of a character string and a line from both tags.

The solid document text composing means constructs a solid document text composed of a character string and a line structure. FIG. 9 shows examples of (a), (b), and (c) in which a solid document text is displayed on the screen.
The solid writing structure recognizing means analyzes the solid writing character string and the line structure made up of “chapter”, “section”, and “item” to recognize the solid writing character string and the line structure to which both tags are attached.
The formatted text composing means converts the solid-written character string and line structure to which both tags are attached into the shaped character string and line structure according to the formatting model.

  FIG. 10 illustrates the tag attributes. FIG. 10A illustrates a document configuration tag, FIG. 10B illustrates a body tag, FIG. 10C illustrates a table tag, and FIG. 10D illustrates a drawing tag. For example, in FIG. 10A, when a tag is attached to a combination of chapters, sections, and terms in the conversion content, after conversion, it is displayed as Chapter 1, 1.1.1. Will be. Other examples are similarly converted. In addition, the cell in FIG.10 (c) represents one square of a table | surface.

FIG. 11 shows page format attributes of the formatted document text, FIG. 11A shows an example of an odd page format, and FIG. 11B shows an example of an even page format.
The first conversion rule is a string and line attribute conversion method that converts a character string and a column structure to a specific solid writing structure that is simply arranged flat regardless of “chapter”, “section”, and “section”. The second conversion rule is an attribute conversion method to a character string and a line formatted according to the “chapter”, “section” and “term” of the solid writing structure according to the formatting model, and the formatting The model is a model in which character lines and columns are defined. These rules will be described.

  FIG. 12 shows the detailed contents of the database 12 and shows the details of the shaping model feature item which is the shaping model attribute. Refer to the description of FIG. 12 for the content.

  FIG. 13 shows a first conversion rule for converting client document text into solid document text. According to this rule, conversion is performed according to the character string, line attribute, and page format attribute. A table and a drawing are added as part of the character string.

  According to this rule, the client document structure of an arbitrary style is converted into a solid document structure that is simply arranged in a flat form, regardless of the formatting model in which the document structure having a hierarchical structure is specified.

Specifically, the first conversion rule is
Unify the size of the set type Unify the typeface that has been set Unset emphasis on the set type Unify the spacing between the set lines Preset sentence, end of sentence position, alignment, indent, one set paragraph to release tabs This is an attribute conversion method for converting a sentence structure, a character string and line attributes, and a page format attribute that determine that a set page break setting that eliminates indentation at the second and subsequent lines in a plurality of lines is eliminated. Also, the attribute conversion method of the page format of the first conversion rule is
There is a conversion method for canceling the setting of the number of characters per line and the setting of the paper size and direction for canceling the setting of the number of lines per page.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of conversion from client document text to solid document text by (a) and (b).

FIG. 15 shows a second conversion rule for converting a solid document text into a formatted document text. According to this rule, conversion is performed according to the character string, line attribute, and page format attribute. A table and a drawing are added as part of the character string. According to this rule, the recognized solid document structure of a specific style is converted into a formatted formatted document structure according to the attributes of the registered formatting model. Further, according to this rule, the basic deformed formatted document structure is further converted into specific formatted text according to the attribute of the specified specific formatting model. Specifically, the second conversion rule is
Each of the text structure font sizes, typefaces, and emphasis instructions applied to those registered and selected for each document structure. Applies to the document structure line interval that is registered and selected for the document structure. Applies to each document structure line interval that is registered and selected. The lower hierarchy is applied to the “chapter”, “section”, and “section” hierarchies where the indentation that sets the beginning of the second and subsequent sentences in multiple lines within one paragraph of each sentence to which the setting is applied is applied. As a combination and character replacement, the document structure that defines the conversion of page format attributes that specify page breaks at the last line to which half-width, supplement, and unification is applied, string and line attributes, and It is an attribute conversion method for converting the attributes of the over-di format. Also, the attribute conversion method of the page format of the second conversion rule is
Applies to pages where the top, bottom, left, and right margins are registered and selected, and those where the number of lines per page and the number of characters per line are applied to registered and selected forms. Conversion method applied to the registered and selected paper orientation.

  FIGS. 16A and 16B show an example of conversion from solid text to formatted document text by (a) and (b).

  As described above, the client document text of an arbitrary style has a page format attribute, and the first conversion rule is also a rule for canceling the page format attribute of the client document text. The second conversion rule is also a rule for adding a page format attribute to the solid document structure according to the formatting model, and the formatted document text has a page format attribute.

  The formatted document text constructing means converts the formatted text structure of a specific style into a formatted formatted document structure according to the formatting model and constructs the formatted text of the formatted style for each document defined by both tags. Constitute.
