LAYER BASED REORGANIZATION OF DOCUMENT COMPONENTS

摘要

A layer based reorganization of document components through a display application. Layers of a document are determined from content of the document which is partitioned based on a paragraph, a sentence, a line, a word, an image, and a similar section. In response to a detection of a user action to select and move one of the layers, non-selected layers from the layers are moved away from the selected layer while moving the selected layer in a direction of the user action during the user action. The selected layer is moved in a place of an adjacent layer from the non-selected layers that is in the direction of the user action.

1. A method executed on a computing device to provide a layer based reorganization of document components, the method comprising:
determining layers of a document; detecting a user action to select and move one of the layers; moving non-selected layers of a subset of the layers away from the selected layer while moving the selected layer during the user action; and reflowing the selected layer and the non-selected layers upon a completion of the user action.
