Abstract
A page in which field areas are laid out is displayed on the basis of a template. A field area to be adjusted is selected from the field areas in the page. The field area is adjusted on the basis of adjustment operation to the selected field area. Adjustment page information on the page in which the field area has been adjusted is stored in addition to page information on the displayed page.
Claims17
An information processing apparatus which lays out, in a page on the basis of a template, field areas for inserting data of data fields that are selected from a record containing a plurality of types of data fields, comprising:
- display control means for displaying a page in which the field areas where data of a predetermined record are inserted are laid out on the basis of the template;
- selection means for selecting a field area to be adjusted from the field areas in the page displayed by said display control means;
- adjustment means for adjusting the field area on the basis of adjustment operation to the field area selected by said selection means;
- and
- storing means for storing adjustment record information on the record for which the field area is adjusted by said adjustment means, in addition to template information on the template.
An information processing apparatus which lays out, in a page on the basis of a template, field areas for inserting data of data fields that are selected from a record containing a plurality of types of data fields, comprising:
- operation window generation means for generating an operation window having a page display area for displaying a page in which the field areas are laid out, and a control area for designating replacement of data to be inserted into each field area in correspondence with each field area in the page;
- replacement means for replacing, with target data, data which is inserted in the field area in the page displayed in the page display area, on the basis of an operation to the control area on the operation window;
- and
- page information generation means for generating page information for updating the page displayed in the page display area to a page replaced by said replacement means and displaying the updated page.
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus which lays out, in a page on the basis of a template, field areas for inserting data of data fields that are selected from a record containing a plurality of types of data fields, comprising:
- a display control step of displaying a page in which the field areas where data of a predetermined record are inserted are laid out on the basis of the template;
- a selection step of selecting a field area to be adjusted from the field areas in the page displayed in the display control step;
- an adjustment step of adjusting the field area on the basis of adjustment operation to the field area selected in the selection step;
- and
- a storing step of storing adjustment record information on the record for which the field area is adjusted in the adjustment step, in addition to template information on the template.
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus which lays out, in a page on the basis of a template, field areas for inserting data of data fields that are selected from a record containing a plurality of types of data fields, comprising:
- an operation window generation step of generating an operation window having a page display area for displaying a page in which the field areas are laid out, and a control area for designating replacement of data to be inserted into each field area in correspondence with each field area in the page;
- a replacement step of replacing, with target data, data which is inserted in the field area in the page displayed in the page display area, on the basis of an operation to the control area on the operation window;
- and
- a page information generation step of generating page information for updating the page displayed in the page display area to a page replaced in the replacement step and displaying the updated page.
A program for implementing control of an information processing apparatus which lays out, in a page on the basis of a template, field areas for inserting data of data fields that are selected from a record containing a plurality of types of data fields, comprising:
- a program code for a display control step of displaying a page in which the field areas where data of a predetermined record are inserted are laid out on the basis of the template;
- a program code for a selection step of selecting a field area to be adjusted from the field areas in the page displayed in the display control step;
- a program code for an adjustment step of adjusting the field area on the basis of adjustment operation to the field area selected in the selection step;
- and
- a program code for a storing step of storing adjustment record information on the record for which the field area is adjusted in the adjustment step, in addition to template information on the template.
A program for implementing control of an information processing apparatus which lays out, in a page on the basis of a template, field areas for inserting data of data fields that are selected from a record containing a plurality of types of data fields, comprising:
- a program code for an operation window generation step of generating an operation window having a page display area for displaying a page in which the field areas are laid out, and a control area for designating replacement of data to be inserted into each field area in correspondence with each field area in the page;
- a program code for a replacement step of replacing, with target data, data which is inserted in the field area in the page displayed in the page display area, on the basis of an operation to the control area on the operation window;
- and
- a program code for a page information generation step of generating page information for updating the page displayed in the page display area to a page replaced in the replacement step and displaying the updated page.
