Abstract
Abstract A document data processor system includes means for evaluating a user's impression of a layout of a document, and means for storing the evaluation information. The system also includes means for storing document design knowledge regarding the layout of multiple standard documents. The system allows a user to create a new document based on the stored document design knowledge and the stored evaluation information so that new documents are created in accordance with user's desires, as reflected by previous document evaluations. In addition, a draft document that is being created may be re-formatted based on a user's evaluation of the draft.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A document processor comprising: means for storing document design knowledge, said document design knowledge defining a layout of a document; means for corresponding between said document and said document design knowledge stored in said document design knowledge storage means; means for inputting evaluation data, said evaluation data indicating an impression of a user relative to an existing document layout; and means for updating said document design knowledge stored in said document design knowledge storage means based on said evaluation data input in the evaluation data input means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
A document processor comprising: means for storing document design knowledge, said document design knowledge defining a layout of a document; means for corresponding between said document and said document design knowledge stored in said document design knowledge storage means; means for inputting evaluation data, said evaluation data indicating an impression of a user relative to an existing document layout; and means for updating said document design knowledge stored in said document design knowledge storage means based on said evaluation data input in the evaluation data input means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
93 words
A document processor according to claim 1, wherein the document design knowledge storage means further comprises means for storing evaluation data corresponding to the document design knowledge which is input from the evaluation data input means; wherein the document design knowledge update means updates the evaluation data stored in the evaluation data storage means on the basis of evaluation data input from the evaluation data input means, at the same time it updates the document design knowledge stored in the document design knowledge storage means when updated evaluation data exceeds a specified threshold.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
106 words
A document processor comprising: means for standardizing a layout of a created document; means for storing document design knowledge; means for inputting evaluation data, said evaluation data indicating an impression of a user relative to the layout of an existing document; means for updating the document design knowledge stored in the document design knowledge storage means on the basis of the evaluation data input from the evaluation data input means; means for selecting document design knowledge stored in the document design knowledge storage means; and means for creating a document on the basis of the document design knowledge selected by the document design knowledge selection means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
106 words
A document processor comprising: means for standardizing a layout of a created document; means for storing document design knowledge; means for inputting evaluation data, said evaluation data indicating an impression of a user relative to the layout of an existing document; means for updating the document design knowledge stored in the document design knowledge storage means on the basis of the evaluation data input from the evaluation data input means; means for selecting document design knowledge stored in the document design knowledge storage means; and means for creating a document on the basis of the document design knowledge selected by the document design knowledge selection means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A document processor according to claim 3, wherein the evaluation data comprises a user's impression of a printed image of a document.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A document processor according to claim 3, wherein the evaluation data comprises a user's impression of a size of characters of a document.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
A document processor according to claim 3, wherein the evaluation data comprises a user's impression of an amount of information presented on a page of a document.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
90 words
A document processing system, comprising: a first memory for storing document design knowledge; a second memory for storing data representing a document; a third memory for storing document evaluation information that represents a user's impression of an existing document; and a processor that automatically updates the document design knowledge stored in the first memory based on evaluation information input to the third memory and creates document data based on the updated document design knowledge stored in the first memory and to store the created document data in the second memory.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
90 words
A document processing system, comprising: a first memory for storing document design knowledge; a second memory for storing data representing a document; a third memory for storing document evaluation information that represents a user's impression of an existing document; and a processor that automatically updates the document design knowledge stored in the first memory based on evaluation information input to the third memory and creates document data based on the updated document design knowledge stored in the first memory and to store the created document data in the second memory.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
43 words
A document processing system according to claim 7, wherein the processor is also updates existing document data stored in the second memory based on one of evaluation information input to the second memory and updated document design knowledge stored in the first memory.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
55 words
A document processing system according to claim 7, wherein the evaluation information represents at least one of a user's impression of a printed copy of a document, a user's impression of a character size of characters of a document, and a user's impression regarding the amount of information presented on a page of a document.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
35 words
A document processing system according to claim 7, wherein the processor is automatically updates the document design knowledge stored in the first memory based on evaluation information input to the third memory from multiple users.
