Abstract

To reduce a burden on a user in editing tree structure data with a text editor. When a selection range is designated on an edit screen, a node selection unit of a tree structure data editing device selects one or more node IDs in the tree structure data, based on the position of the selection range. When a paste target for the selection range is designated on the edit screen, a connection target determination unit determines a connection target node ID in the tree structure data, based on the position of the paste target. A tree structure data editing unit edits the tree structure data such that the node or nodes identified by the one or more node IDs is/are connected to the node identified by the connection target node ID. A conversion unit convers the tree structure data edited by the tree structure data editing unit into text data. A display control unit updates the edit screen displayed, based on the text data converted by the conversion unit.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A tree structure data editing device, comprising at least one processor configured to:
mutually convert tree structure data and text data corresponding to the tree structure data using conversion data;
display an edit screen for the text data on a display, the edit screen being a screen of a text editor;
select one or more node IDs in the tree structure data based on a position of the selection range, when a selection range is designated on the edit screen;
determine a connection target node ID in the tree structure data, based on a position of the paste target, when a paste target for the selection range is designated on the edit screen;
edit the tree structure data so a node or nodes of the selected one or more node IDs is/are connected to a connection target node identified by the connection target node ID;
convert the edited tree structure data into the text data, and
update the edit screen displayed, based on the converted text data;
wherein the conversion data includes a conversion algorithm, a compiler, and a decompiler;
wherein the conversion algorithm includes instructions for identifying a root node, a child node, a parent node, and a leaf node.

2. The tree structure data editing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the selection range is a range for cutting out text on the edit screen, and
the at least one processor:
specifies a parent node ID and a child node ID of the one or more node IDs, and
updates the tree structure data so the node or nodes identified by the one or more node IDs is/are connected to the connection target node identified by the connection target node ID and a child node identified by the child node ID is connected to a parent node identified by the parent node ID.

3. The tree structure data editing device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor determines a node ID of a text node with text displayed at a position nearest to the position of the paste target as the connection target node ID.

4. The tree structure data editing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the edit screen is a screen of a text editor on which to input a code for a predetermined programming language, and
the at least one processor compiles the text data to thereby convert into the tree structure data, and decompiles the tree structure data to thereby convert into the text data.

5. A method for editing tree structure data, comprising:
mutually converting tree structure data and text data corresponding to the tree structure data using conversion data;
displaying an edit screen for the text data on a display, the edit screen being a screen of a text editor;
selecting one or more node IDs in the tree structure data based on a position of the selection range, when a selection range is designated on the edit screen;
determining a connection target node ID in the tree structure data based on a position of the paste target, when a paste target for the selection range is designated on the edit screen;
editing the tree structure data so a node or nodes of the selected one or more node IDs is/are connected to a connection target node identified by the connection target node ID;
converting the edited tree structure data into the text data, and
updating the edit screen based on the converted text data;
wherein the conversion data includes a conversion algorithm, a compiler, and a decompiler;
wherein the conversion algorithm includes instructions for identifying a root node, a child node, a parent node, and a leaf node.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium for storing a program for causing a computer to:
convert tree structure data and text data corresponding to the tree structure data using conversion data;
display an edit screen for the text data on a display, the edit screen being a screen of a text editor;
select one or more node IDs in the tree structure data based on a position of the selection range, when a selection range is designated on the edit screen;
determine a connection target node ID in the tree structure data based on a position of the paste target, when a paste target for the selection range is designated on the edit screen; and
edit the tree structure data so a node or nodes of the selected one or more node IDs is/are connected to a connection target node identified by the connection target node ID;
convert the edited tree structure data edited into the text data, and
update the edit screen displayed, based on the converted text data converted;
wherein the conversion data includes a conversion algorithm, a compiler, and a decompiler;
wherein the conversion algorithm includes instructions for identifying a root node, a child node, a parent node, and a leaf node.
