Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

When data about plural book sheets, each belonging to one of plural chapters, are edited to bind the plural book sheets by a casing-in operation in such a manner that chapter range images, which indicate the respective ranges of the plural chapters, are displayed on an edge so that the chapter range images that are adjacent to each other are arranged at different positions from each other in the top-bottom direction, a marker image emphasizing the chapter range image is adjacent to the chapter range image indicating the range of a chapter having book sheets the number of which is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A data editing apparatus that edits data about a plurality of book sheets of a book, each book sheet belonging to one of a plurality of chapters, to bind the plurality of book sheets by a casing-in operation in such a manner that chapter range images, which indicate respective ranges of the plurality of chapters, are displayed on an edge of the book so that the chapter range images that are adjacent to each other are arranged at different positions from each other in a top-bottom direction, and the data editing apparatus comprising: a marker image edit unit that judges whether a number of pages of each chapter is less than or equal to a setting threshold and edits the data in such a manner that a marker image emphasizing the chapter range image is adjacent to the chapter range image indicating the range of a chapter having book sheets the number of which is less than or equal to the setting threshold. 2. A data editing apparatus, as defined in claim 1 , wherein the marker image edit unit edits the data in such a manner that the marker image is adjacent to the chapter range image at least on one side of the chapter range image in a direction orthogonal to a top-bottom direction. 3. A data editing apparatus, as defined in claim 2 , wherein the marker image edit unit edits the data in such a manner that the marker image is displayed in a range of a chapter immediately before the chapter having book sheets the number of which is less than or equal to the setting threshold, and the range corresponding to a predetermined number of pages from the last page of the chapter immediately before the chapter and/or in a range of a chapter immediately after the chapter having the book sheets the number of which is less than or equal to the setting threshold, and the range corresponding to a predetermined number of pages from the first page of the chapter immediately after the chapter. 4. A data editing apparatus, as defined in claim 2 , wherein the marker image edit unit edits the data in such a manner that the marker image is displayed in the whole range of a chapter immediately before the chapter having book sheets the number of which is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold and/or in the whole range of a chapter immediately after the chapter having book sheets the number of which is less than or equal to the setting threshold. 5. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing therein a data editing program for causing a computer to function as a marker image edit unit to edit data about a plurality of book sheets of a book, each book sheet belonging to one of a plurality of chapters, to bind the plurality of book sheets by a casing-in operation in such a manner that chapter range images, which indicate respective ranges of the plurality of chapters, are displayed on an edge of the book so that the chapter range images that are adjacent to each other are arranged at different positions from each other in a top-bottom direction, wherein the marker image edit unit judges whether a number of pages of each chapter is less than or equal to a setting threshold and edits the data in such a manner that a marker image emphasizing the chapter range image is adjacent to the chapter range image indicating the range of a chapter having book sheets the number of which is less than or equal to the setting threshold.
