[0001] METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EDITING ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for editing an electronic document, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for editing an electronic document capable of efficiently inputting a part of a plurality of division contents in an electronic document in succession.

An electronic document means information transmitted, received, or stored in an electronic form by an information processing system, and may be used in electronic form or printed. The electronic document is composed of word (Word), Excel (Word), PowerPoint (PowerPoint) included in Microsoft's Office program group, Hancom Office of Korean and computer company, Acrobat of Adobe ), As well as electronic documents created using a document editing program based on 'PC', such as 'Infraware (R)', which can be used on a smartphone or tablet computer according to the recent development of mobile industry. And may include electronic documents generated by programs of the Polaris Office® family of companies.

In this regard, the electronic document includes various information including letters, pictures, and the like. At least some of the various information these electronic documents contain may be used in the same electronic document or in new electronic documents. For example, information in an electronic document can be reused by copying the contents of a part of the electronic document containing the contents to be copied and inputting the contents into the same electronic document, a new electronic document, or an Internet web browser. However, when a plurality of pieces of information are input into a new electronic document, it may be troublesome to copy a plurality of pieces of information one by one and input them one by one.

FIG. 1 illustrates the use of information of an exemplary electronic document according to the prior art.

Referring to FIG. 1, a screen of the first electronic document 20 and a screen of the second electronic document 30 are displayed side by side. At this time, displaying the first electronic document 20 screen and the second electronic document 30 screen may be the display unit 10 of the electronic apparatus.

The first electronic document 20 stores a first table T1 in which information such as a name, an address, and a date of birth is written. The first table T1 includes a first column C1 in which an item such as a name, an address, and a date of birth is written and a second column C1 in which items such as name, address, and date of birth correspond to items such as Hong Gil Dong, And a second column C2 in which specific contents are described. However, the present invention is not limited to the table composed of these two columns (C2), and information can be composed of various columns and rows. Also, the information may be described in a non-table manner.

And the second electronic document 30 is displayed with the second table T2. The first column (C1) of the second table (T2) describes the ID, the name, the date of birth, the address, and the contents of the second column (C2). At this time, the order and the number of items of the first column (C1) of the second table (T2) do not coincide with the first table (T1) stored in the first electronic document (20).

In this case, when the contents of the second table T2 are input by using the first table T1, the user selects the first table T1 corresponding to each item of the first column C1 of the second table T2 T1 of the first table T2 must be copied one by one and then input into each item of the second table T2. In other words, it may happen that the content of each item of the first table T1 is copied and inputted corresponding to each item of the first column C1 of the second table T2.

Accordingly, when inputting a plurality of pieces of information in an electronic document into the same or a new electronic document or an Internet web browser, it is required to develop a method that can provide a more intuitive and efficient interface to reduce user's inconvenience.

2 is a schematic block diagram of an apparatus for editing an electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, an apparatus for editing an electronic document according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a display unit 110, an input unit 120, a storage unit 130, and a processor 140. The device for editing an electronic document may be a general purpose computer or a portable terminal. Although FIG. 2 shows a device for editing as a computer, the concept of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any terminal capable of loading an application capable of copying and pasting contents in an electronic document can be employed without limitation.

The display unit 110 is configured to display an electronic document. Specifically, the display unit 110 may be a display unit that receives an instruction from the processor 140 and visually displays the content of the copy or the content of the copy.

The input unit 120 is configured to designate the content of a copy or to input a unit output command. Specifically, the input unit 120 may receive a selection command and a copy command for information included in the electronic document from the user. The input unit 120 may receive a unit output command for inputting a plurality of division contents in the electronic document copied from the user into another electronic document. The input unit 120 may be a touch panel capable of receiving a touch input from a user or a device capable of receiving a signal generated by a touch panel.

The storage unit 130 stores the contents and identifiers in the electronic document. That is, the storage unit 130 is configured to store copy contents. Specifically, the storage unit 130 stores the contents and identifiers in the electronic document when the copy unit 120 receives a copy command for the content including the content and the identifier in the electronic document. The storage unit 130 may be a random access memory (RAM) for temporarily storing contents and identifiers, but a ROM may be used in some cases.

The processor 140 recognizes the identifiers in the copy content designated through the input unit 120 to distinguish one or more identifiers between the identifiers, receives a predetermined unit output command through the input unit 120, And displays one of the one or more segment contents through the display unit 110. FIG.

In addition, the processor 140 may store a plurality of division contents corresponding to the copy command received by the input unit 120, and may store the division contents into unit type contents by an identifier. In addition, the processor 140 may input the unit division contents sequentially or in a selected division into another electronic document in response to the unit output command. In addition, the processor 140 may output to the display unit 110 a table containing the contents of each division so that the user can select corresponding to the unit output command.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of editing an electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention. 4A to 4C illustrate a method of inputting information between different electronic documents by a method of editing an electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention. Will be described with reference to Fig. 2 for convenience of explanation.

A method of editing an electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention is started by designating a copy content that is at least a part of the content included in the electronic document by the input unit 120 (S110). Specifically, the processor 140 may receive an instruction to copy a content containing at least one identifier among the contents contained in the electronic document, after the content is selected.

For example, a plurality of segment contents 160 and an identifier 150 are included in the copy area designated by the first electronic document 111 of FIG. 4A. The plurality of segment contents 160 includes a first segment content 161, a second segment content 162, a third segment content 163, a fourth segment content 164, and a fifth segment content 165 The plurality of identifiers 150 may include a first identifier 151 input between the first content 161 and the second content 162, a fourth content 164 and a fifth content 165, And a fourth identifier 154 inputted between the first and second identifiers.

As described above, one category of content and adjacent content are classified based on the identifier 150. Accordingly, if there is no identifier 150, it may not be divided into two or more segments 160. Although the identifier 150 is illustratively shown as ';', the identifier 150 may be one or more predetermined characters that can be input through the input unit 120. Specifically, various characters such as comma (,),%, $, #, and 2 or more unit margins can be used. Herein, the unit margin 170 means a unit space between a character and a character, and may be a margin 170 which is an indication of spatial processing on the screen.

In addition, the identifier 150 may be one of two or more unit margins 170 between letters, numbers, and characters. Specifically, the identifier 150 may be written with two commas (,,), a single quotation mark ('), or two atm marks (@@). Also, a combination of two or more characters and / or numbers can be used. Accordingly, the user has the advantage of being able to use appropriate letters, numbers, or two or more unit margins 170 that match the contents of the electronic document handled by the user.

After the entire copy area of the first electronic document 111 is designated, the processor 140 identifies the identifier 150 in the copy content and identifies one or more identifiers 160 among the identifiers 150 (S120) . Specifically, the processor 140 can distinguish one division 160 from the other division 160 based on the identifier 150. Therefore, even if a plurality of segment contents 160 are input in one line as shown in FIG. 4A, the segment contents 160 are distinguished from each other by the identifier 150. [

For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, a first identifier 151 is provided between 'Hong Gil-dong' as the first segment content 161 and 'ooo-o-o' as the second segment content 162, Is input to the processor 140 so that the first divisional content 161 and the second divisional content 162 of the first divisional content 161 and the second divisional content 162 are separated from each other by ' . The distinction of the segment contents 160 may occur when the processor 140 recognizes the first identifier 151, the second identifier 152, the third identifier 153 and the fourth identifier 154. In addition, the divided contents 160 separated from each other can be stored in the storage unit 130.

Thereafter, a predetermined unit output command is received (S130). The unit output command may be received by the input unit 120 from the user to input the designated copy content.

The unit output command is not limited and can be implemented in various ways. For example, the unit output command may be a command to paste a conventional copy (for example, paste), or a command to distinguish the same. In one embodiment, when the unit output command is overlapped with the past copy pasting command, the unit output command is executed once at the time of the command (when the Ctrl + v is inputted once) As with the paste command, the entire copy can be entered at once.

In another embodiment, when the unit output command is a command other than a command to paste a conventional copy, one of a plurality of division contents 160 is input upon reception of a unit output command, and then, 160) is input, and the copied contents of the conventional copy paste command can be inputted all at once.

Thereafter, one of the one or more segment contents 160 is input in response to the reception of the unit output command (S140). That is, when receiving the unit output command, any one of the plurality of division contents 160 can be input. At this time, one or more segment contents may be sequentially inputted corresponding to the plurality of unit output commands.

For example, referring to FIG. 4B, a pointer such as a cursor (cursor) P, which is a display for indicating a location on a screen where a user can input text in an application for driving an electronic document, Is located in the second column C4 of the row corresponding to " name ". Thereafter, when the user inputs a unit output command through the input unit 120, 'Hong Kil Dong' as the first divisional content 161 is input to the corresponding cell.

That is, the user specifies a copy area including a plurality of contents 160 of the first electronic document 111 and a plurality of identifiers 150 at one time, And one piece of the contents 160 is input in correspondence with the unit output command so that the second column C4 of the row corresponding to the 'name' of the table T2 Can be input.

4C, the user places the cursor P or the like in the second column C4 of the row corresponding to the 'address' of the table T2 of the second electronic document 112, The unit output command can be input through the input unit 120. [ At this time, since the processor 140 has already input the first divisional content 161, the second divisional content 162, that is, the next divisional content 160, that is, 'ㅇㅇ ㅇㅇ ㅇㅇ ㅇㅇ ㅇㅇ - ㅇㅇ' Can be input to the unit cell.

After this, the user places the cursor P or the like in the unit cell corresponding to the date of birth, the social security number, and the e-mail, and then inputs the unit output command to all the empty cells of the table T2 of the second electronic document 112 Can be input.

As described above, a method of editing an electronic document according to an embodiment of the present invention includes inputting a plurality of classification contents 160 using an identifier 150, receiving a copy designation at a time, The cursor P or the like is moved to a place where the divisional content 160 is to be input and then one divisional content 160 is input and the cursor P or the like is moved to a place where another divisional content 160 is to be input And then inputting the next divisional content 160 by the unit output command again, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce the cumbersome repetition of designation and outputting of the copying for each divisional content 160.

Meanwhile, a margin 170 may exist between each segment 160 and the identifier 150. That is, the margin 170 may exist between each segment 160 and the identifier 150, or may not exist.

For example, the copying area of the first electronic document 111 shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C will be described. A margin 170 between the separating content 160 and the identifier 150 includes a first margin 171, A second margin 172, a third margin 173, and a fourth margin 174. The first margin 171 is positioned in front of the second segment 162 and the second margin 172 is positioned after the second segment 162. The third margin 173 is positioned after the third segment 163 And the fourth margin 174 is located in front of the fifth segment 165. [

The margins 170 may be one or more unit margins. That is, the margin 170 may be one unit margin, such as the first margin 171 and the second margin 172, or may be two unit margins, as the third margin 173. And, it may be a unit margin of three as the fourth margin 174. That is, the margin 170 between the division content 160 and the identifier 150 includes one or more unit margins.

The processor 140 deletes the margin 170 existing between each segment 160 and the identifier 150 in the copy area when one unit segment 160 is input according to the unit output command, can do. Accordingly, the user may not be limited by the space between the identifier 150 and the delimiter 160 when inputting or copying the information of the copy area including the identifier 150 and the delimiter 160. Specifically, since only the identifier 150 is included between the segment 160 and the segment 160, the margin 170 between the identifier 150 and the segment 160 can be freely input. Therefore, The convenience of input is increased when the user inputs the identifier 160 and the identifier 150. [

Although the copying and pasting between electronic documents has been exemplarily described in the above-described 4a to 4c, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, a web document may be copied and pasted into an editable electronic document, Is intended to include all pasting operations into a web document.

5A to 5E illustrate a method of editing an electronic document according to another embodiment of the present invention. The method of editing the electronic document of FIGS. 5A to 5E is different from the method of editing the electronic document of FIGS. 4A to 4C in that the type of the identifier 250 and the division contents output in accordance with the unit output command are displayed only by the display method And the other components are the same or similar, and a description thereof will be omitted.

First, referring to FIG. 5A, a first electronic document 211 includes a first table T1 and a second electronic document 212 includes a second table T2. In the first table T1, information including each item of the second table T2 is described. Specifically, the first table T1 includes information such as name, university, graduation year, etc. of each item of the second table T2. Each item of the second table T2 is used for inputting information for subscribing using the Internet web browser or for inputting only a part of the contents in the first electronic document 211, And may be useful when copying contents to the electronic document 212. [

The classification of each item such as name, address, date of birth and the like is described in the first column C1 of the first table T1 and specific contents according to each item are described in the second column C2 of the first table T1 . At this time, in the present embodiment, each line that separates each row of the first table T1 may be an identifier 250, and each row of the second row C2 of the first table T1 The contents inputted to the contents section 260 become a plurality of division contents 260.

In the first column (C3) of the second table (T2), classification of each item such as name, university, graduation year and the like is described, and the second column (C4) of the second table (T2) . At this time, since the first column C3 of the second table T2 and the first column C1 of the first table T1 are different items, a plurality of segment contents are copied and output according to the unit output command , It is inconsistent with each item of the second table T2. Accordingly, the manner in which the division contents should be output by the unit output instruction must be different from each other.

It is possible to select all of the plurality of division contents which are the second column C2 of the first table T1 and to designate the copy contents. When a copy command is received for the specified copy content, the processor 140 may locate and store the identifier between the copy of each row 250 of the second column C2 of the first table T1.

Then, the user places a cursor or the like in the first row of the second column C4 of the second table T2. When the unit output command is received, the processor 140 separates one or more segment contents 260 from each other and displays it in a table included in each unit cell (hereinafter referred to as a third table T3) . That is, the copy content separated by the stored identifier is provided in the form of a list that can be selected by the user.

Specifically, the third table T3 indicating the contents of the copy is displayed separately from the contents of the copy. At this time, the displayed third table T3 can be displayed in the same or similar form as that of the first table T1 of the plurality of copy contents. For example, unlike that shown in FIG. 5B, the third table T3 may be displayed as a table having a plurality of columns, or may be displayed in a separate space with a separator in a pop-up (for example, (Similar to the first electronic document 111).

Further, the selected unit cell of the third table T3 may be displayed. At this time, the selected unit cell may be displayed in the first row of the third table T3 by shading or the like. Through this, the user can more easily confirm the classification to be input.

The user can select the division content suitable for each item of the second table T2 and input it to the second column C4 of the second table T2. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B again, the user can select 'Hong Kil Dong' as the first divisional content of the third table T3 and input it to the first row of the second table T2.

In this manner, according to the unit output command, a plurality of division contents are displayed in a table included in the unit cell, so that the order of a plurality of division contents copied in the first electronic document 211, There is an advantage in that even when the order to be performed is different from each other, it can be easily selected and input.

5C, the user places a cursor or the like in the second row of the second column of the second table T2 and inputs a unit output command.

The processor 140 selects a desired unit cell among the unit cells of the third table T3 and receives the unit output command again and the divided contents 260 included in the selected unit cell are stored at the end of the third table T3 Unit cell and outputs it. The selection of the desired unit cell is not limited and may be performed by the same instruction as the unit output instruction or by another instruction such as a tap instruction. In the case of a terminal having a touch input unit, a unit cell may be selected through a touch input after a unit output command.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5C, the previously selected 'Hong Kil Dong' displayed in the third table T3 is moved to the bottom of the third table T3 and displayed. Alternatively, in the various embodiments, the inputted classification contents may be deleted. Accordingly, when the order of the divisional contents of the first electronic document 211 and the order of the divisional contents of the second electronic document 212 are the same, the user is able to input the divisional contents more quickly have.

On the other hand, since the second row of the second table T2 is an item related to 'university', the user can select 'xx university' in the third row at the bottom of the third table T3 and input. Accordingly, the user has the effect of reducing the inconvenience that one user has to enter one item in the second table T2.

Next, referring to FIG. 5D, the address is entered as an error in the item of the university of the second row of the second table T2, and the third table of the second table (T2) T3) is displayed.

At this time, since the divisional content corresponding to the address is input to the university in the second row of the second table T2, it is necessary to correct this. On the other hand, referring to the third table T3, 'o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oo

At this time, the user selects a division in the third row of the second table T2 in the third table T3 or selects a division in the third row of the second table T2 as a unit You can also cancel the output command.

Referring to FIG. 5E, after the user deletes the contents corresponding to the second row of the second table T2 to modify the contents corresponding to the second row of the second table T2, It shows the execution.

At this time, the display identifier 250 of the third table T3 is located at the 'xx university' corresponding to the item of the second row of the second table T2 according to the user's operation. The user can select 'xx university' corresponding to the item of the second row of the second table T2 and input the contents of the division into the second row of the second table T2.

In addition, since the division contents corresponding to the addresses that have already been inputted are not deleted in the third table T3 but located at the lowermost end, when the user inputs the 'address' corresponding to the last row of the second table T2, The division contents corresponding to the address of the table T3 can be inputted.

The electronic document editing method according to the embodiment of the present invention does not delete the already input divided contents and remains in the third table T3 so that even when the user inputs another divisional content as an error in the table to be inputted It is possible to reduce the inconvenience of specifying the copy contents in order to copy the corresponding contents.

On the other hand, upon receiving the unit output command, the division contents 260 included in the selected unit cell may be displayed with a visual effect different from that of other unit cells, for example, shading. In addition, the segment contents 260 included in the already selected unit cell may have a different visual effect at the same time as the position movement. Accordingly, the user can easily grasp the classification contents already input and the other classification contents.

On the other hand, differently from the above description, the selected content may be deleted from the third table T3. For example, if the third table T3 is selected as the 'name', the third table T3 is displayed next. If the third table T3 is displayed, the third table ' T3) may be displayed. When the division contents 260 included in the selected unit cell are deleted, the processor 140 can restore and display the deleted division contents 260 upon receiving the restoration output command.

Although copying and pasting between electronic documents have been exemplarily described in the above-mentioned 5a to 5c, the present invention is not limited to this, and a web document can be copied and pasted into an editable electronic document, or conversely, And the like.

In various embodiments, when copying the contents of a division from a web document having a form of a form, the division corresponding to the division contents can be copied together. For example, in the case of copying the second column (C2) in FIG. 5A, it is possible to copy the classification of each item such as name, date of birth, etc., instead of copying only contents such as Hong Gil Dong, Classification contents of items can be defined, for example, in html, css or java in a web document. That is, the classification corresponding to the classification contents is stored together with the classification contents.

When the classification of each item is copied together with the contents, for example, a classification matching the classification of the third column (C3) in FIG. 3C may be determined at the time of pasting, and the contents following the determined classification may be automatically input . That is, it is determined whether the input area, for example, the form format of the web document, matches one of the stored categories. If the input region matches the classification, the classification contents corresponding to the classification are input. As a result, the efficiency of copying and pasting contents of one group can be greatly improved and the user experience can be increased.
