[0018] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. Various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure are included to facilitate understanding, and they should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0019] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to describe various elements and are not intended to limit the positional relationship, temporal relationship or importance relationship of these elements. Such terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. In some examples, the first element and the second element may refer to the same instance of the element, and in certain cases, based on the description of the context, they may also refer to different instances.

[0020] In the description of various examples in the present disclosure, the terms used are only for the purpose of describing specific examples and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, if the number of elements is not specifically limited, the element may be one or more. In addition, the term "and / or" used in the present disclosure covers any one of the listed items and all possible combinations.

[0021] In the related art, based on the search terms input by a user, a document in xml format that matches the search terms is usually generated. The xml data defines the entire document through a tree structure. When the user needs to edit the document, the entire tree structure needs to be updated, which is not convenient for document update and typesetting.

[0022] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a method for generating a document. A target document described by second document data is matched and generated based on the search terms input by a user. In the second document data, the page components of the target document are respectively defined by corresponding parts in the second document data. Compared with the way the first document data describes the document, the target document with a second typesetting described by the second document data is convenient for the user to perform secondary editing and rewriting on the target document. In addition, the target document uses graphic rendering, so that the displayed text content cannot be directly copied, improving the security of the document.

[0023] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Figure 1 The system 100 can be configured and operated in various ways to enable the application of the various methods and apparatuses described in this disclosure.

[0038] Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for generating a document according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0039] As Figure 2 shown, the method 200 for generating a document includes:

[0040] Step S201, obtaining first document data based on search terms from a user, where the first document data is used to describe an initial document having a first layout;

[0041] Step S202, generating second document data having at least one part based on the first document data, where the second document data is used to describe a target document having a second layout, the target document includes the same text content as the initial document, where the target document includes at least one page component, and where each part of the at least one part of the second document data is used to describe the corresponding page component in the at least one page component; and

[0042] Step S203, performing graphic rendering based on the second document data to generate the target document displayed as an image.

[0043] In some examples, the search terms input by the user include a first token representing the theme of the target document, so that in step S201, the text content matching the theme can be recalled according to the first token representing the theme of the target document in the search terms.

[0044] According to some embodiments, the first document data has a tree structure, and wherein, the tree structure is used to describe an initial document with a first layout, and wherein, step S202 includes: parsing the tree structure to generate second document data having at least one part.

[0045] In some examples, the first document data is XML data, which has a tree structure for describing an initial document with a first layout. The initial document is the text content displayed on the front end based on the description of the XML data. In some examples, the XML data is obtained by performing OCR recognition on the existing document data in the database.

[0046] It can be understood that the XML data defines all the content in the initial document with a first layout through each node on the tree structure, and the XML data contains an overall description of the page. When the user needs to rewrite and edit the document, the changes reflected in the XML data are relatively large, and it is necessary to re-render the document based on the updated XML data, which is not conducive to the user's editing and rewriting of the document.

[0047] Therefore, in step S202, by parsing the tree structure, second document data is generated to be used to describe the target document with a second layout. Exemplarily, the second document data is bdjson data, which includes structured information such as chapters, paragraphs, and tables. At least one part of it can segment and block each component in at least one page component included in the target document, and has a more flexible performance in describing the document compared to the XML data, facilitating the user to edit and rewrite the document. Correspondingly, the target document is the text content displayed on the front end based on the description of the bdjson data.

[0048] According to some embodiments, each page component in the at least one page component is at least one of a body title, a body paragraph, a body chapter, a header, a footer, a footnote, a page number, a figure caption, a table name, and table content.

[0049] In some examples, each part of at least one part of the second document data is respectively used to describe a paragraph or a chapter in the target document with a second layout. Thus, when editing and rewriting the paragraph or chapter, only the corresponding part in the second document data needs to be updated, which can effectively improve the editing efficiency of the document and enhance the user experience.

[0050] In some examples, in step S202, the variables included in the tree structure can be determined by traversing each node in the tree structure, and the variables in the tree structure can be mapped to the corresponding variables in the bdjson format according to the mapping rules, so as to convert the initial document with the first layout into the target document with the second layout.

[0051] In step S203, by performing graphic rendering on the second document data, the target document is displayed to the user in the form of an image, and the displayed text content cannot be directly copied by the user, improving the security of the document.

[0052] In some examples, the graphic rendering includes canvas rendering.

[0053] Thus, this method matches and generates the target document described by the second document data based on the search terms input by the user. In the second document data, the page components of the target document are respectively defined by the corresponding parts in the second document data. Compared with the way of describing the whole document by using a tree structure, for example, the description method of the second document data for the target document with the second layout is convenient for the user to perform secondary editing and rewriting on the target document. In addition, the target document adopts graphic rendering, so that the displayed text content cannot be directly copied, improving the security of the document.

[0054] Figure 3 The flowchart shows a partial process of the method for generating a document according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0055] As Figure 3 shown, based on the method 200 for generating a document, the method 300 for generating a document further includes:

[0056] Step S301, after generating the target document to be displayed as an image, in response to the user selecting a first area in the target document, determining first text content corresponding to the first area based on the second document data;

[0057] Step S302, determining keywords in the first text content;

[0058] Step S303, recalling second text content matching the keywords based on the keywords; and

[0059] Step S304, updating and displaying the target document based on the second text content.

[0060] After rendering the second document data and generating the target document for display as an image, a function for further editing and rewriting the target document can also be provided to the user. Specifically, in response to the user selecting a first region in the target document, preprocessing can be performed on the first text content corresponding to the first region to extract keywords in the first text content for re-searching, so as to recall second text content matching the keywords, and based on the recalled second text content, rewrite the first text content selected by the user to achieve an updated display of the target document.

[0061] According to some embodiments, step S301 includes: in response to the user selecting a first region in the target document, determining the position coordinates corresponding to the first region in the target document; and based on the position coordinates, determining the first text content corresponding to the first region in the second document data.

[0062] Since the text content of the target document cannot be directly copied due to the use of graphic rendering for the second document data in step S203, the text content selected by the user can be confirmed by passing the position coordinates of the first region selected by the user, improving security.

[0063] Specifically, the position coordinates of the selected first region are used to query the specific text content selected by the user from the second document data as the first text content, and second text content matching the selected first text content is recalled, and the first text content is expanded or rewritten based on the second text content. After obtaining the expanded content or rewritten content, the target document is updated by updating the expanded content or rewritten content to the second document data for rendering. Thus, the quality of the retrieved target document is improved through rewriting and polishing of the target document.

[0064] According to some embodiments, step S304 includes: in response to determining that the first text content corresponds to a first page component in the target document, determining a target part of the at least one part of the second document data corresponding to the first page component; updating the target part of the second document data based on the second text content to obtain the updated second document data; and performing graphic rendering based on the updated second document data to update the display of the target document.

[0065] The structured information such as chapters or paragraphs of the target document is defined separately using the corresponding parts in the second document data, which is convenient for users to rewrite and edit. When performing an update, the part to be updated in the second document data can be determined by identifying the page component corresponding to the first text content selected by the user, that is, the paragraph or chapter where the first text content is located, and this part can be updated based on the recalled second text content to obtain updated second text data. Thus, graphic rendering can be performed based on the updated second document data to update and display the target document.

[0066] It can be seen that in the second document data with a streaming data structure such as bdjson, only the chapters or paragraphs for which the user has the intention to update can be updated accordingly, which can effectively improve the document update efficiency and enhance the user experience.

[0067] According to some embodiments, the target document includes multiple pages, and step S304 includes: in response to determining that the first area selected by the user is located on a target page among the multiple pages, based on the second text content, updating and displaying the target page and the next page of the target page among the multiple pages.

[0068] It can be understood that when the number of pages of the target document is large, only the currently selected page and the next page of the currently selected page can be rendered and updated to save network resources and storage resources.

[0069] In one example, the currently selected page and the adjacent pages of the currently selected page can be rendered and updated.

[0070] According to some embodiments, the method for generating a document further includes: segmenting the search term to determine at least one of the topic corresponding to the search term and the part of speech and tone. Step S201 includes: expanding the search term based on at least one of the topic corresponding to the search term and the part of speech and tone; and obtaining the first document data that matches the result of the expansion.

[0071] The search term input by the user is used to represent the user's retrieval requirement. In some cases, the user's retrieval term can reflect the user's tone, etc. Under some conditions, the user's retrieval requirement can be understood more accurately by analyzing the part of speech of the retrieval term input by the user. Therefore, by expanding the search term in different dimensions, the user's retrieval requirement can be analyzed and improved in multiple dimensions, so as to obtain text content that better meets the user's needs, improve the quality of the retrieved documents, and enhance the user experience.

[0072] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a device for generating a document. As Figure 4As shown, the document generation device 400 includes: a first acquisition module 401 configured to acquire first document data based on a search term from a user, where the first document data is used to describe an initial document with a first layout; a first generation module 402 configured to generate second document data with at least one part based on the first document data, where the second document data is used to describe a target document with a second layout, the target document includes the same text content as the initial document, where the target document includes at least one page component, and where each part of the at least one part of the second document data is used to describe the corresponding page component in the at least one page component; and a second generation module 403 configured to perform graphic rendering based on the second document data to generate the target document displayed as an image.

[0073] In some examples, the search term input by the user includes a first word segment representing the theme of the target document, so that the first acquisition module 401 can recall the text content matching the theme according to the first word segment representing the theme of the target document in the search term.

[0074] According to some embodiments, the first document data has a tree structure, and where the tree structure is used to describe an initial document with a first layout, and where the first generation module 402 is further configured to: parse the tree structure to generate second document data with at least one part.

[0075] In some examples, the first document data is XML data, the XML data has a tree structure, and the tree structure is used to describe an initial document with a first layout. In some examples, the XML data is obtained by performing OCR recognition on the existing document data in the database.

[0076] It can be understood that the XML data defines all the content in the initial document with a first layout through each node on the tree structure, and the XML data contains an overall description of the page. When the user has a need to rewrite and edit the document, the changes reflected in the XML data are relatively large, and it is necessary to re-render the document based on the updated XML data, which is not conducive to the user's editing and rewriting of the document.

[0077] Therefore, the first generation module 402 generates second document data by parsing the tree structure for describing a target document with a second layout. Exemplarily, the second document data is bdjson data, which includes structured information such as chapters, paragraphs, and tables. At least one part of the second document data can segment and block each component in at least one page component included in the target document, and has a more flexible representation than the description of the document by XML data, facilitating users to edit and rewrite the document.

[0078] According to some embodiments, each page component in the at least one page component is at least one of a body title, a body paragraph, a body chapter, a header, a footer, a footnote, a page number, a figure caption, a table name, and table content.

[0079] In some examples, each part of at least one part of the second document data is respectively used to describe a paragraph or a chapter in the target document with a second layout. Thus, when editing and rewriting the paragraph or chapter, only the corresponding part in the second document data needs to be updated, which can effectively improve the editing efficiency of the document and enhance the user experience.

[0080] In some examples, the first generation module 402 can determine the variables included in the tree structure by traversing each node in the tree structure, and map the variables in the tree structure to the corresponding variables in the bdjson format according to the mapping rules, thereby converting the initial document with a first layout into a target document with a second layout.

[0081] The second generation module 403 performs graphic rendering on the second document data, so that the target document is displayed to the user in the form of an image, and the displayed text content cannot be directly copied by the user, improving the security of the document.

[0082] In some examples, the graphic rendering includes canvas rendering.

[0083] Thus, the document generation device 400 matches and generates the target document described by the second document data based on the search term input by the user. In the second document data, the page components of the target document are respectively defined by the corresponding parts in the second document data. Compared with the method of describing the whole document by using a tree structure, the description method of the second document data for the target document with a second layout facilitates users to perform secondary editing and rewriting on the target document. In addition, the target document adopts graphic rendering, so that the displayed text content cannot be directly copied, improving the security of the document.

[0084] According to some embodiments, the document generation device 400 further includes: a determination module configured to, after generating the target document to be displayed as an image, in response to the user selecting a first area in the target document, determine first text content corresponding to the first area based on the second document data; a preprocessing module configured to determine keywords in the first text content; a recall module configured to recall second text content matching the keywords based on the keywords; and an update module configured to update and display the target document based on the second text content.

[0085] After rendering the second document data and generating the target document to be displayed as an image, the document generation device 400 can also provide the user with the function of further editing and rewriting the target document. Specifically, the preprocessing module can, in response to the user selecting a first area in the target document, preprocess the first text content corresponding to the first area to extract keywords in the first text content for the recall module to perform a secondary retrieval, recall second text content matching the keywords, and rewrite the first text content selected by the user based on the recalled second text content to achieve an updated display of the target document.

[0086] According to some embodiments, the determination module includes: a first determination unit configured to, in response to the user selecting a first area in the target document, determine the position coordinates of the first area corresponding in the target document; and a second determination unit configured to determine the first text content corresponding to the first area in the second document data based on the position coordinates.

[0087] Since the second generation module 403 performs graphic rendering on the second document data, the text content of the target document cannot be directly copied. Therefore, the text content selected by the user can be confirmed by passing the position coordinates of the first area selected by the user, improving security.

[0088] Specifically, the position coordinates of the selected first area are used to query the specific text content selected by the user as the first text content from the second document data, recall the matching second text content according to the selected first text content, and expand or rewrite the first text content based on the second text content. After obtaining the expanded content or rewritten content, the expanded content or rewritten content is updated to the second document data to perform a rendering update of the target document. Thus, the quality of the retrieved target document is improved by rewriting and polishing the target document.

[0089] According to some embodiments, the update module includes: a third determination unit configured to determine a target portion in the at least one portion of the second document data corresponding to the first page component in response to determining that the first text content corresponds to the first page component in the target document; a first update unit configured to update the target portion of the second document data based on the second text content to obtain the updated second document data; and a second update unit configured to perform graphic rendering based on the updated second document data to update and display the target document.

[0090] Structured information such as chapters or paragraphs of the target document is defined separately using corresponding portions in the second document data, facilitating user rewriting and editing. When performing an update, the portion to be updated in the second document data can be determined by identifying the page component corresponding to the first text content selected by the user, i.e., the paragraph or chapter where the first text content is located, and this portion can be updated based on the recalled second text content to obtain the updated second text data. Thus, graphic rendering can be performed based on the updated second document data to update and display the target document.

[0091] It can be seen that in the second document data with a streaming data structure such as bdjson, only the chapters or paragraphs for which the user has an update intention can be updated for the corresponding portions, effectively improving the document update efficiency and enhancing the user experience.

[0092] According to some embodiments, the target document includes multiple pages, and the update module includes: a fourth determination unit configured to update and display the target page and the next page of the target page among the multiple pages based on the second text content in response to determining that the first area selected by the user is located on the target page among the multiple pages.

[0093] It can be understood that when the target document has a large number of pages, only the currently selected page by the user and the next page of the current page can be rendered and updated to save network resources and storage resources.

[0094] In one example, the currently selected page by the user and the adjacent pages of the current page can be rendered and updated.

[0095] According to some embodiments, the document generation device 400 further includes: a word segmentation module configured to perform word segmentation on the search term to determine at least one of the topic corresponding to the search term, the part of speech, and the tone.
