Abstract
Abstract A document retaining section retains a structured document in which a logical structure and a layout structure are correlated with each other by using embedding nodes each being inserted between a unit logical node and a logical node immediately above the unit logical node and representing a corresponding relationship between the unit logical node and a unit layout node, and mold nodes provided in place of respective unit layout nodes. A document processing section is capable of processing a partial logical structure of the document retained by the document retaining section together with a partial layout structure corresponding to the partial logical structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A document processing apparatus for processing a structured document, comprising: document retaining means for retaining a structured document in which embedding nodes and mold nodes correlate a logical structure and a layout structure of the document with each other, the embedding nodes being inserted between each unit logical node and a logical node immediately above the unit logical node and representing a correspondence between the unit logical node and a unit layout node, and the mold nodes provided in place of respective unit layout nodes; and document processing means capable of processing a partial logical structure of the document retained by the document retaining means together with a partial layout structure corresponding to the partial logical structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
A document processing apparatus for processing a structured document, comprising: document retaining means for retaining a structured document in which embedding nodes and mold nodes correlate a logical structure and a layout structure of the document with each other, the embedding nodes being inserted between each unit logical node and a logical node immediately above the unit logical node and representing a correspondence between the unit logical node and a unit layout node, and the mold nodes provided in place of respective unit layout nodes; and document processing means capable of processing a partial logical structure of the document retained by the document retaining means together with a partial layout structure corresponding to the partial logical structure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The document processing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the document processing means comprises logical structure extracting means for extracting the logical structure from the document retained by the document retaining means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The document processing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the document processing means comprises layout structure extracting means for extracting the layout structure from the document retained by the document retaining means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
The document processing apparatus of claim 1, wherein the document processing means comprises embedding extracting means for extracting, from the document retained by the document retaining means, a partial logical structure and a partial layout structure that are subordinate to an embedding node that satisfies a specified condition.
