Apparatus for editing geological elements using touch-based interface

An apparatus for editing geological elements using a touch-based interface, the apparatus comprising:

• a geological symbol storage module configured to store point symbols, line symbols, and area symbols defined for a point, a line, and an area;
• a geographic information storage module configured to store geographic information on a map;
• a geological element edit module configured to provide functions, by a user's operation, of reading geological information on a specific map from the geographic information storage module, of reading symbols from the geological symbol storage module, of rotating the point symbols, of connecting the line symbols to each other, of automatically transforming the line symbols to the area symbols, of automatically creating outlines for the area symbols;
• a controller configured to map the point symbols, the line symbols, and the area symbols on the geographic information on the specific map read from the geographic information storage module by an operation of the geological element edit module and to output display control signals corresponding to the mapped symbols;
• and
• a display module receiving and displaying the display control signals being input from the controller and formed with a touch panel thereon,
• wherein the display module is provided with a map edit menu screen,
• wherein the display module is provided with a bottom toolbar,
• wherein the map edit menu screen provides
• an input button for a geological structure and a geological element;
• an input button for a geological element having a line element comprising at least one of a geological boundary, a fault, and a fold;
• an input button for a geological element having an area element of a rock lithology and an alteration area,
• a changeover button for a multi-select menu;
• a button for hole creation in a polygon area;
• a modification button for a geometric element;
• a button for feature moving;
• a button for line cutting;
• a button for erasing;
• an input and modification button for a feature attribute;
• a button for undoing;
• a button for redoing;
• an input-modification button for an edit layer display and a feature attribute;
• and
• a button for an edit setting.
