DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creating apparatus for forming a document text in which format marks such as ruled lines and graphic frames and character data are mixed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a document creating apparatus represented by a word processor, a document created once is temporarily stored using various memory functions, and can be re-input easily by calling it at an arbitrary position. This is one of the important functions in this type of device.

The most common memory function is to store a character string to be reused as continuous character string data. Further, when reusing a table frame formed by format marks such as ruled lines and graphic frames, for example,
As described in 19591, a method of setting a memory area in a rectangular shape is known since data to be stored covers a plurality of rows of a rectangular area. In the present invention, storing such a rectangular area is referred to as a block memory.

[0004]

However, in the case of a table frame or the like which is configured to be mixed with character data on the document text, if it is desired to reuse only the table frame format, the memory is stored using the block memory function. Call it,
After that you have to edit. That is, the table item name is considered to be a part of the table frame format, but since the table item name and the input content are the same character data, the input content must be deleted later.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided input means for inputting format data such as ruled lines and graphic frames, character data, and a call prohibition mark for prohibiting writing of the character data. Document text storage means for storing data, the text data, and a document text including the call prohibition mark; display means for displaying the document text; and designation of an area range over a plurality of lines from the displayed document text. Designating means, call instructing means for instructing writing of the designated area range at an arbitrary position on the document text, and detecting the call prohibition mark included in the document text of the designated area range Character data specified by the call prohibition mark based on detection means and detection of the presence of the call prohibition mark A document creating device and a prohibiting means for prohibiting writing.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a document creating apparatus which includes a prohibition instructing unit for instructing the prohibition of writing of character data into text when calling stored data, and a character in accordance with the prohibition instructing unit when calling the stored data. By providing control means for controlling writing of data into text, it is possible to distinguish between item names that need to be called even with the same character data and item contents that do not need to be called.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document creating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a document creation apparatus according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a keyboard, which includes a character key 1a, various memory designation keys 1b including a block memory, a range designation key 1c for designating a rectangular area range over a plurality of lines, a memory call key 1d, a cursor movement key 1e, It has a ruled line creation key, a kana-kanji conversion key, and other function keys not shown. 2 is a cursor column counter indicating the cursor column direction, 3 is a row counter indicating the cursor row direction,
4 is a control unit for controlling various components, 5 is a range designation control unit for setting position variables on the text, and 6 is a text for storing document text in which format data such as ruled lines and graphic frames and character data are mixed. Buffer, 7 is a one-line data reading unit, 8 is a one-line data writing unit, 9 is a one-line buffer, 10 is a calling data analyzing unit, 11 is a text data calling unit, 12
Denotes a text data storage buffer, 13 denotes a text data storage unit, and 14 denotes a display unit.

[0009] The name, age, and telephone number shown in FIG. 2A are used as the item names, and the data shown in FIG. A case will be described in which only the table frame format from which the input contents of the name have been deleted is created by calling the memory.

First, in order to distinguish a table item name and input content, which are the same character data, at the time of memory call, a corresponding mark is sandwiched by a control mark "@" for prohibiting a call to the input content. Input (see FIG. 2A). Such a call prohibition mark “@” is input from the keyboard 1 and is input on text like an indent mark of block editing introduced on page 167 of “Newton Separate Volume 1 Word Processor” magazine. Regardless, it is a control format mark that is not printed during printing.

In this way, with the call prohibition mark being input in advance, the memory instruction key 1
When “b” is operated, the operator specifies the range of the table frame to be stored and the rectangular area including the above-mentioned call prohibition mark “◆” using the range specification key 1c.

The range specification control unit 5 specifies the memory storage position on the text based on the range specification, and sets the variables SP, E
Set to P, SL, EL.

Next, an example of the internal processing of the text data storage unit 13 for storing the designated area in the text data storage buffer 12 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step S1, the number of lines of text data to be stored is stored in a variable LCNT, and the data length of one line of the stored text data is set in a variable LNG (SNG).
2 steps). Then, in step S3, the value of the storage start row variable SL is set in CNT. In step S4, the text data storage unit 13 determines whether or not the value exceeds the last row variable EL stored. In steps S5 and S6, the text data storage unit 13 counts the variable CNT from the column variable SP in the row data indicated by the variable CNT to the column variable EP. The data up to this is set in the text storage buffer MEM (*).

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram of the text data stored in the text storage buffer MEM (*) for the text of FIG. 2A as a result of the processing of the text data storage unit 13. As is clear from the figure, the text storage buffer MEM (*) is serially stored, including the prohibition mark "@" of a plurality of lines whose range is specified.

Next, the internal processing of the memory call for calling the stored text data from an arbitrary cursor position will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step S10, the storage buffer ME
0 is set to a variable BP indicating a data position in M (*). Next, 1 is set to a variable CNT for counting the number of called lines in step S11, and a variable C is set in step S12.
While determining that NT does not exceed the memory line number variable LCNT, one line data indicated by the current line variable LN is read from the text buffer 6 to one line buffer (step S13).

In step S14, the data in the variable CNT line of the text storage buffer MEM (*) is written into the data in the one-line buffer 9 from the position of the column variable XP. At this time, the status of the character memory call prohibition mark is analyzed by the call data analysis unit 10, and the memory contents are called. Such processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

When the contents of one line of memory are written to a predetermined position in the one-line buffer 9, the data in the one-line buffer 9 is written to the position in the text buffer 6 indicated by the line variable LN (step S15). When writing is completed in steps S16 and S17, the current row variable LN is counted, the variable CNT is counted, and the process returns to step S12. If the variable CNT exceeds the memory row number variable LCNT, the process ends.

Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG.
The internal processing of the call data analyzing unit 10 and the text data calling unit 11 corresponding to step S14 in FIG. 5 will be described in detail.

First, in step S20, a variable MEM @ FG for determining the state of the character memory call prohibition mark "@".
And the data count variable CNT is set to 0, and in step S21, the value of the column variable XP is set to the variable WP indicating the write position in the one-row data. In the subsequent S22 step, the in-buffer position variable B
It is determined whether the text data at the position P is a character memory prohibition mark. If the character memory prohibition mark is "$", 1 is added to the variable MEM @ FG in step S23. If the variable MEM @ FG is an odd number (step S24) and the text data at the position of the variable BP in the storage buffer is character data (step S25), a null is stored at the position of the variable WP in the one-line buffer 9. Write data. Otherwise, the text data at the position of the variable BP in the storage buffer is written to the position of the variable WP in the one-line buffer 9 (step S27). When the writing process is completed, the variables BP and CNT are counted up in step S28, and the variable CN is counted in step S29.
After confirming that T does not exceed the variable LNG, S24
Return to step. If the variable CNT exceeds the variable LNG, it is determined that the calling of the data for one line has been completed, and the process ends.

That is, with respect to the text of FIG. 4 showing the storage state of the text data of FIG. 2A, when the stored data of the fourth line is called, the call prohibition mark "@" at the beginning of the line
Is detected in step S22, then the variable MEM @ FG is set to 1 in step S23, and it is determined as an odd number in step S24. After the determination, in step S25, the 4
In order to prohibit the calling of the character data in the line, the character data in the fourth line is stored in the storage buffer MEM (*) 1
It is determined for each digit from the digit whether the data is character data or other format data such as ruled line data forming a table frame. As a result of the determination, the input content corresponding to the position determined to be character data, ie, the table item names “name”, “age”, and “telephone number” in FIG. 4 “Kazuo Okamura”, “32”, “0583”
-91-3846 "is written. In the case of FIG. 2A, since the horizontal ruled line is also treated as one line, the same processing is performed on the sixth line and the eighth line having the call prohibition mark “◆”.

On the other hand, 1 without the call prohibition mark “◆”
At the time of the memory call of the third to fifth, fifth, seventh, and ninth lines, the call prohibition mark “◆” is set to S22.
Since no data is detected in the step, all data in the storage buffer MEM (*) is written to the one-row buffer 9 in step S27 irrespective of the presence or absence of character and ruled line data.

As a result of such processing, as shown in FIG. 2B, a table frame format including a table frame formed by ruled lines and a table item name is called by a memory call, excluding the input contents of the table.

[0025]

As is apparent from the above description, the document creating apparatus according to the present invention, when storing and recalling a table frame composed of a specific format in which character data and the like are mixed, even if the same character data is used. The item name that needs to be called,
Since it is possible to distinguish between item contents that do not need to be recalled, correction work after recalling memory contents is simplified, operability is improved, and work speed is improved.
