DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus such as a Japanese word processor or a computer capable of creating a document in Japanese, and more particularly to a document processing apparatus having a printing function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of document processing apparatus,
For example, in the case of printing on “noshi paper”, the center of the paper that is the writing part of the noshi paper (the part where you write congratulations or condolences) is “inside congratulation”, “congratulation marriage” It is necessary to print various characters such as "marriage celebration". Conventionally, to print on the center of the paper using a printer, conventionally, the print width is calculated from the center position of the paper, the paper is manually set on the printer, and the characters are rotated for vertical writing. And print it.

[0003] In addition, when printing a memoir of Keiji on a piece of paper, four-character idioms (eg, congratulations and marriage) are hated as "death style". In such a case, the enlargement ratio of the first character was changed at the stage of inputting the character.

[0004]

However, as described above, it is very difficult to calculate the center and print width of a sheet and set the sheet in a printer. In addition, if there are enlarged characters in the printed characters, it is very difficult to obtain the print width.
Therefore, printing on a piece of paper requires skill and cannot be easily performed by anyone.

[0005] For the expansion of the first character in "death style", if the user has knowledge of "death style", it is possible to cope with the input by changing the enlargement ratio. In many cases, when the user did not know about, four characters were printed in the same size.

[0006] Furthermore, it is customary to write condolences in light black ink, but it is impossible to print as if written in light black ink.
Only the congratulatory text could be printed.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances. A first object of the present invention is to automatically empty a sheet only by inputting the size of the sheet when printing on the sheet. An object of the present invention is to provide a character processing device which feeds and prints input characters at the center position of the sheet.

[0008] A second object is that when the input writing character is a character relating to Keiji and four characters,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a character processing apparatus which automatically prints the enlargement ratio of the first character larger than the enlargement ratio of other characters.

It is a third object of the present invention to provide a character processing device which, when an input writing character is a character relating to condolence, performs a mesh process on the character and prints it as if it were written in light black.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The present invention is not limited by this.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor. In this figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a keyboard provided with kana character keys, numeric keys, conversion keys, function keys, and the like.
From the keyboard 1, various kana character strings for table writing for printing "paper" are input, and the size of the printing paper (paper) and the character enlargement ratio are specified. The enlargement ratio is specified by the vertical and horizontal magnifications as follows. N (vertical magnification) x M (horizontal magnification) (however, N, M = 1, 2, 3, ...)

Reference numeral 2 denotes a CPU, and reference numeral 3 denotes a ROM in which a program for document creation / editing inherent in a Japanese word processor and a program for printing "paper" according to the present invention are stored. The CPU 2 performs various types of data processing, which will be described later, by using these programs written in the ROM 3.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a RAM which stores various kana character strings for table writing input from the keyboard 1 for "nosashi paper" printing, and a kanji kana mixed sentence converted from the kana character string, that is, The document data generated by the original document creation / editing of the Japanese word processor is stored. Also, the size of the "paperwork" specified by the keyboard 1 and the enlargement ratio of the character are stored.

5 is an LCD for displaying various character data
(Liquid crystal display device). The LCD 5 can change the orientation of the display screen in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction by rotating the display screen. As the LCD 5, other display devices such as a CRT display device and an EL display device may be used. Reference numeral 6 denotes a thermal transfer printer that prints various character data.

The CPU 2 stores the kana character string input from the keyboard 1 in the RAM 4 and then stores the kana character string in “National congratulation”, “festival marriage”, “marriage congratulation”,
Convert to various kanji characters such as "Mikanori" as writing characters on the paper. Then, the character data is converted into a print image composed of a dot pattern composed of a large number of dots. This conversion is performed by reading a character pattern from a character generator (not shown).

After that, when the operator instructs the printing of the insert paper, the printing start position determination program which is one of the insert paper printing programs is read out from the ROM 3 and the following processing is performed. That is, the size of the paper sheet and the enlargement rate of the characters stored in the RAM 4 are read out, and the print image is enlarged according to the enlargement rate of the character. The paper feed amount of the paper is calculated so that the characters are printed at the center, and the paper is fed by the calculated feed amount. Then, the enlarged print image is rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees and printed on a piece of paper.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the correlation between the paper alignment position and the printing start position in the printer 6. As shown in this figure, when setting the paper sheet 7 in the printer 6, the position of the print head is adjusted to the paper alignment position 8, which is the head of the paper sheet 7, regardless of the size of the paper sheet 7. In this way, the print start instruction causes
Based on the size of the sashimi paper stored in the RAM 4, the sashimi paper is automatically fed and the printing is started from the print start position 9, and is placed on the center line 9 of the sashimi paper.
For example, the character "inside congratulation" is printed.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of calculating the paper feed amount. As shown in FIG. 5 , when A is the paper length / 2 and B is the print character width, the paper feed amount C is AB / 2. Become. In this manner, the blank paper is fed by the paper feed amount C.

Further, when the operator instructs the printing of the insert paper, the CPU 2 reads the leading character enlargement program, which is one of the insert paper printing programs, from the ROM 3 and performs the following processing. That is, it is determined whether or not the writing on the sashimi paper stored in the RAM 4 is a character used for a special occasion, such as “celebration marriage” or “marriage congratulation”. Is counted, and it is determined whether or not the number of characters is four. In this determination, when there are four characters, R
The characters written on the sashimi paper stored in AM4 are converted into print images, and the print image corresponding to the first character in the converted print image is enlarged to a greater extent than the print images corresponding to other characters. Then, the enlarged print image of the first character is rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees, and printed on a piece of paper.

[0029] FIG. 6 (a) shows a print example of a case where the input character is three characters, FIG. 6 (b) shows a print example of a case where the input character is four characters. As shown in these figures,
If the input character 3 is a character, printing is performed at the specified enlargement ratio. If the input character 3 is four characters, printing is performed with the first character enlarged to be larger than the specified expansion ratio.

Further, the CPU 2 allows the operator to
When an instruction for printing a worksheet is issued, a mesh processing program, which is one of the worksheet printing programs, is read from the ROM 3 and the following processing is performed. That is, RAM4
Reads the pre-stored character strings for writing on the side of the paper such as "Uchi congratulation", "Celebration marriage", "Marriage celebration", "God before Buddha", "Mikanori", etc., and consists of many dots. Then, the identification code is read to determine whether the character string for table writing belongs to a condolence message or a congratulation message. If the read identification code is a condolence identification code, mesh processing (processing such as thinning out dots at equal intervals) is performed on the tabular print image data created earlier. Thereafter, the mesh-processed tabular printing image data is rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees and output to the printer 6, and the condolence message is printed on the paper in light ink.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the table writing character string and the identification code. As shown in the figure, the table writing character string 11 is stored in a character code, and at the head of the table writing character string 11, a table writing identification code 12 of a condolence sentence or a congratulatory sentence is added. As the identification code,
The congratulation character string is set to “1” and the condolence character string is set to “2”.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of thinning out in the mesh processing. As shown in the figure, in the mesh processing, the portion indicated by “x” is thinned out every 4 × 4 dots.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing an example of a mesh processing, FIG. 9 (a) shows a state not subjected to mesh processing, FIG. 9 (b) shows a state subjected to mesh processing. As shown in these figures, by performing mesh processing on the print image data of the front writing, the condolence sentence can be printed in black ink on a piece of paper.

[0034] Next, as shown in FIG. 1 the contents of the CPU2 of the processing operation
0 be described with reference to a flow chart shown in FIGS. 11 and 12.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the contents of the printing process for the printing on the paper. In the paper printing, when the paper size is input (step 21), the CPU 2 firstly executes
The sheet length is divided by 2 to obtain A (step 22), the print character width is calculated and set to B (step 23), and the paper feed amount is calculated from AB / 2 (step 2).
4). Next, it is checked whether or not the paper is set (step 25). If the paper is not set, an error process for the absence of the paper is performed (step 26). The empty paper is fed by the amount of paper fed (step 27), and the input character is printed (step 28). In this way, simply by inputting the paper size, the printer 6 automatically feeds the sheet automatically,
Characters can be printed in the center of the work paper.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the leading character enlarged printing. In the first character enlarged printing, when a character is input (step 31), the CPU 2
First, it is checked whether or not the input character is a character related to Keiji (step 32). If the character is a character related to Keiji, the number of input characters is counted (step 3).
3). Then, it is checked whether or not the number of input characters is four (step 34), and if it is four, the leading character enlargement process is performed. In the first character enlargement process, the enlargement ratio of the first character is set to be larger than the inputted enlargement ratio by setting the first character enlargement ratio = the enlargement ratio × α. Here, α is the ratio of the enlargement ratio, and is set in advance to 1.2 or 1.5. As described above, the enlargement ratio of the first character is set to the enlargement ratio × α (step 35), the rounding process of the first character enlargement ratio is performed (step 36), and the input character including the enlarged character is printed (step 3).
7). In step 32, if the input character is not a character relating to a special occasion, or if in step 34 the number of input characters is not four, the character enlargement process is not performed.
The print processing of the input character is performed as it is. In this way,
When printing on a piece of paper, if a four-character table is input during Keiji, the enlargement ratio of the first character is automatically made larger than the enlargement ratio of the other characters.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the contents of the mesh printing process. In mesh printing, CPU
2 first reads the table-written character string data from the RAM 4 (step 41) and creates table-written image data to be printed (step 42). Next, tabulation identification data for identifying condolences, congratulations, etc. is read (step 43), and it is checked whether or not the tabulation identification data is a character string relating to condolences (step 44). Here, if the identification data is a code indicating a character string relating to condolence, the mesh processing is performed on the tabulated print image data created earlier (step 45), and the tabulated print image data is output to the printer 6 (step 45). Print) (step 46). In step 44, if the identification data is not a code indicating a character string relating to condolence, the mesh processing is not performed on the print image data. In this way, the ink print of the condolence is printed on the work paper.
