Patent

CA 2357653

The present invention relates to the field of information processing by digital computers, and more particularly to a method and system for persistently self replicating multiple ranges of cells through a copy-paste operation, in a multi dimensional spreadsheet comprising a plurality of cells identified by a cell address along each dimension, a range of cells comprising one or a plurality of cells The method comprises the steps of: ~ defining a set of ranges of cells, each range of cells having the same size; ~ each time the content of a range of cells belonging to this set is changed, automatically performing a self-replication operation, the self-replication operation comprising the steps of: ~ copying the changed range of cells onto a buffer; ~ determining the set of ranges of cells to which the changed range of cells belongs to; ~ identifying the ranges of cells belonging to the set; ~ pasting the content of the buffer in each of identified range of cells belonging to the set.

L'invention concerne le domaine du traitement de l'information par des ordinateurs, plus particulièrement une méthode et un système d'autoreproduction persistante de plusieurs plages de cellules par une opération de copier-coller dans une feuille de calcul multidimensionnelle, laquelle comprend plusieurs cellules caractérisées par une adresse de cellule se rapportant à chaque dimension, une plage de cellules étant constituée d'une ou de plusieurs cellules. La méthode comprend la délimitation d'un ensemble de plages de cellules, toutes les plages ayant la même grandeur, ainsi que l'exécution automatique, chaque fois que le contenu d'une plage de cellules de cet ensemble est modifié, d'une opération d'autoreproduction, laquelle comprend les étapes suivantes : copie de la plage de cellules modifiée dans une mémoire tampon; détermination de l'ensemble de plages de cellules auquel appartient la plage de cellules modifiée; détermination des plages de cellules appartenant à cet ensemble; copie du contenu de la mémoire tampon dans chacune des plages de cellules appartenant à ce même ensemble.
