Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document output device that outputs a document with a phonetic addition.

[Related Art] In recent years, Japanese word processors have begun to spread widely in order to create Japanese documents.

In such a Japanese word processor, furigana can be attached to any kanji character in a created document. For example, for a horizontal document,
As shown in FIG. 7 (a), a furigana "kanji" of the character "kanji" can be attached to the upper part of the character and displayed or printed out.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since the above-mentioned furigana is attached to the upper part of the character as shown in FIG. 7 (a), a certain amount of line spacing is required, and FIG. As shown in the figure, it was difficult to attach furigana when the line spacing was narrow.

Similarly, in the case of a vertically written document, furigana can be attached when the line spacing is wide as shown in FIG. 8 (a), but furigana can be attached when the line spacing is narrow as shown in FIG. 8 (b). Was difficult.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to change a phonetic form according to the situation of a document.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The means of the present invention are as follows.

A storage unit for storing document information to which furigana addition is specified, and format information related to the document information; and any one of a plurality of types of furigana output forms based on the format information for the document information to which furigana addition is specified. And output means for outputting document information to which furigana is added according to the output form determined by the determination means.

[Operation] The operation of the means of the present invention is as follows.

Document information for which the phonetic addition is specified, and format information relating to the document information are stored in the storage means. And
Based on the format information regarding the document information for which the furigana addition is specified, the determination unit determines which output form to output in a plurality of types of furigana output forms, and based on the determined output form, the output unit determines The document information to which the phonetic addition has been made is output.

Therefore, it is possible to determine the output form of the phonetic alphabet based on the format information.

[Explanation of Functional Block Diagram] FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of the present invention.

The document information that has been furnished in the form determined by the furigana form determining means 4 is output.

Embodiment An embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6B.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration, and reference numeral 11 denotes a CPU that controls the entire control. An input unit 12 includes input keys such as a character key, a “kana-kanji conversion” key, a “designation of furigana” key, a “layout display” key, a “print” key, a cursor key, and the like, and sends an operation signal of each key to the CPU 11. And 13

Is the driver.

Next, the furigana designation operation in the Japanese word processor having such a configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

Now, a document is created as is well known, and the document memory 15 is created.
And is displayed on the display unit 19 as shown in FIG. 4 (a). Here, by operating an unillustrated “designation of furigana” key on the input unit 12 or the like, the third
The operation of the flowchart shown in the figure is started.

First, the start position of the character to be furnished is designated using a cursor key or the like (not shown) of the input unit 12 (step S31). Then, at this designated start position,
It is determined whether or not the input position is correct by determining whether or not the kanji has already been input (step S3).
2). If the input position is not correct, the above step S31
Return to and wait for the correct position designation input.

If the input position is correct, the phonetic control character is stored at the designated position in the document memory 15 (step S3).
3). Then, the end position of the character to be furnished is designated (step S34). Then, it is determined whether or not the input position is correct by determining whether or not a kanji has already been input at the designated end position, and whether or not the start position and the end position are all kanji. S35). If the input position is not correct, the process returns to step S34 to wait for a correct position designation input.

If the input position is correct, the phonetic control character is stored at the designated position in the document memory 15 (step S3).
6). Then, the stored phonetic control characters, that is, control marks (“F S” mark 23 and “F E” mark 24) at the start and end positions of the target character string,
It is displayed as shown in FIG. (B) (step S37).

In this way, by inputting the "Fu S" mark 23 at the start position of the part to which the furigana is to be added and the "F E" mark 24 at the end position, the kanji of the part to which the furigana is to be added is designated.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the position designation method, the control mark, and the like as in this embodiment.

Next, the furigana output operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

That is, when a layout (display) key or a print key (not shown) of the input unit 12 is designated, the data is first read out from the document memory 15 in order, and the normal character data is read out. It is determined whether the data is control data or data (step S51). If it is normal character data, writing such as display or printing is performed (step S52).

If the data is a control character data for modification or the like, it is determined whether or not the data is a furigana control character (step S53). If it is not a phonetic control character, processing such as display according to the control character is performed (step S52). Here, there are two types of phonetic control characters as described above, namely, start and end. In step S53, the determination of the phonetic control characters is "No" until both of them are detected. That is, it is assumed that the process does not proceed to the next step S54 until both the phonetic control characters are read.

Then, when it is determined that the character is a furigana control character, next, referring to preset format information and the like,
Calculate the line spacing of the characters to be furnished (step S5
4) It is determined whether a furigana is attached to the space between lines (step S55).

If the furrow can be attached to the line space, the target character string is displayed (printed) as shown in FIG. 6A (step S5).
6), display (print) phonetics in the space between lines (step S)
57). Here, the target character string is a kanji character string sandwiched between furigana control characters. You.

Then, by determining whether or not there is a document in the document memory 15, it is determined whether or not to continue processing such as display (layout) and printing (step S58). If the process is to be continued, the process is repeated from step S51.

If it is determined in step S55 that it is not possible to pretend that the space between the lines is missing, the target character is displayed (printed) as shown in FIG. 6B (step S5).
9) The phonetic characters are displayed (printed) in parentheses following the target character (step S60). Then, by determining whether or not there is a document in the document memory 15, it is determined whether or not to continue processing such as display (layout) and printing (step S58). If the process is to be continued, the process is repeated from step S51.

In other words, when the created document is output as a result of layout or printing, if it is determined that there is a width that allows for pretending line spacing, as shown in FIG. If it is determined that the furigana is attached and that there is not enough space for furigana to be inserted between lines, furigana is attached following the target character string as shown in FIG. Is done.

Similarly, in the case of vertical writing, the line spacing is automatically determined, and if it is determined that there is a line spacing, it is on the side of the target character string, and if it is determined that there is no line spacing, the target character is Output following the column.

However, how to attach furigana, character type, character size,
Etc. are not limited to the present embodiment.

In the above embodiment, the form of the phonetic character is determined by checking the space between lines. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the character size (point number, etc.) specified for the kanji to which the phonetic character is attached and the character size of the phonetic character In comparison, if the furigana is smaller, the furigana may be attached to the kanji, and if the size is the same or the furigana is larger, the furigana may be attached in parentheses after the kanji.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, the output form of the phonetic alphabet is determined based on the format information, so that the phonetic form can be changed according to the situation of the document. In other words, if furigana is specified during document creation, format information such as line spacing is automatically determined, and furigana can be added beautifully, so that furigana characters and kanji characters in the document may overlap or become furigana. This eliminates the drawback that attachments cannot be made, and allows the user to create a furnished document as intended by the user at any time.
