INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520675 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus for editing a document with multiple objects, allowing users to change the paper size of the document and adjust the size of objects accordingly while maintaining the aspect ratio of specific objects.

  • Change unit for modifying paper size based on user instruction
  • Adjustment unit for resizing objects based on the new paper size while maintaining aspect ratio

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various document editing software, graphic design tools, and printing applications.

Problems Solved

1. Efficiently adjusting document layout when changing paper size 2. Maintaining aspect ratio of specific objects for visual consistency

Benefits

1. Improved user experience in document editing 2. Enhanced control over document layout and design

Potential Commercial Applications

"Document Editing Software: Enhancing User Experience with Paper Size Adjustment"

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include software tools for document editing that allow users to resize objects while maintaining aspect ratio, but the specific combination of features described in this patent application may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does the adjustment unit determine the optimal size for objects based on the new paper size?

The patent application does not provide details on the specific algorithms or methods used by the adjustment unit to resize objects while maintaining aspect ratio.

Are there any limitations to the types of objects that can be resized using this technology?

It is not clear from the abstract whether there are any restrictions on the types of objects that can be adjusted in size while maintaining aspect ratio.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus for editing a document including a plurality of objects, including a change unit configured, based on a user instruction, to change a paper size of the document from a first paper size to a second paper size different from the first paper size, and an adjustment unit configured to adjust a size of the object included in the document based on the second paper size, wherein the adjustment unit adjusts the size of a specific object in the plurality of objects such that an aspect ratio of the specific object is maintained.
