Abstract

An information processing device, including an acquiring unit that acquires relationship information indicating a relationship between a plurality of first objects indicated by symbols input by a user, and a file control unit that generates display information related to display of second objects including position information indicating positions of the second objects corresponding to the first objects in a document file on the basis of the relationship information.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An information processing device, comprising:
an acquiring unit configured to acquire relationship information indicating a relationship between a plurality of first objects, wherein
the relationship is indicated based on symbols input between the plurality of first objects, and
the symbols are input based on a user operation; and

a file control unit configured to:
generate a directed acyclic graph based on modeling of the relationship between the plurality of first objects; and
generate display information based on a comparison result of the directed acyclic graph and a reference directed acyclic graph, wherein
the display information is associated with display of a plurality of second objects,
the display information includes position information indicating positions of the plurality of second objects corresponding to the plurality of first objects in a document file, and
the position information is based on the relationship information.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the symbols are input based on handwriting manipulations associated with the user operation.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the file control unit is further configured to generate the display information based on a reference document file, wherein the reference document file is associated with the reference directed acyclic graph.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the file control unit is further configured to generate the document file based on the display information, and
the information processing device further comprises a display control unit configured to control display of the document file.

5. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein
the display control unit is further configured to control display of a screen including an input side display region and an output side display region,
the input side display region is configured to display information input for one of the generation of the document file or an editing operation of the document file, and
the output side display region is configured to display one of the generated document file or the edited document file.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein
the display control unit is further configured to control display of the plurality of first objects and the input symbols in the input side display region.

7. The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the display control unit is further configured to:
control display of an image in which an edge of the directed acyclic graph is superimposed on the document file; and
control display of an input second symbol in the input side display region based on the symbols as first symbols.

8. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the file control unit is further configured to add the plurality of second objects to the document file based on the relationship information.

9. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the file control unit is further configured to generate a plurality of the document files.

10. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the acquiring unit is further configured to acquire attribute information indicating attributes of the first objects, and
the file control unit is further configured to generate the display information based on the acquired attribute information.

11. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the position information includes page information indicating a page in which the plurality of second objects is positioned in the document file.

12. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the display information includes dimension information indicating a dimension of each of the plurality of second objects.

13. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the display information includes color information indicating a color of each of the plurality of second objects.

14. The information processing device according to claim 1 , comprising a theme setting unit configured to set a theme of the document file, wherein the file control unit is further configured to generate the display information based on the theme.

15. An information processing method, comprising:
acquiring, by an information processing device, relationship information indicating a relationship between a plurality of first objects, wherein
the relationship is indicated based on symbols input between the plurality of first objects, and
the symbols are input based on a user operation; and

generating, by the information processing device, a directed acyclic graph based on modeling of the relationship between the plurality of first objects; and
generating, by the information processing device, display information based on a comparison result of the directed acyclic graph and a reference directed acyclic graph, wherein
the display information is associated with display of a plurality of second objects,
the display information includes position information indicating positions of the plurality of second objects corresponding to the plurality of first objects in a document file, and
the position information is based on the relationship information.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
acquiring relationship information indicating a relationship between a plurality of first objects, wherein
the relationship is indicated based on symbols input between the plurality of first objects, and
the symbols are input based on a user operation; and

generating a directed acyclic graph based on modeling of the relationship between the plurality of first objects; and
generating display information based on a comparison result of the directed acyclic graph and a reference directed acyclic graph, wherein
the display information is associated with display of a plurality of second objects,
the display information includes position information indicating positions of the plurality of second objects corresponding to the plurality of first objects in a document file, and
the position information is based on the relationship information.

17. An information processing device, comprising:
an acquiring unit configured to acquire relationship information indicating a relationship between a plurality of first objects, wherein
the relationship is indicated based on symbols input between the plurality of first objects, and
the symbols are input based on a user operation;

a file control unit configured to:
generate a directed acyclic graph based on modeling of the relationship between the plurality of first objects;
generate display information based on the directed acyclic graph, wherein
the display information is associated with display of a plurality of second objects,
the display information includes position information indicating positions of the plurality of second objects corresponding to the plurality of first objects in a document file, and
the position information is based on the relationship information; and

generate the document file based on the display information; and

a display control unit configured to:
control display of the document file; and
control display of a screen including an input side display region and an output side display region, w
