Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Technical Field> The present invention relates to a text processing device (word processor), and in particular, it is designed to efficiently recall already registered texts.

In particular, the registered name (keyword) of the registered text and a part of the registered text corresponding to the registered name are displayed on the display screen, so that the registered text with the desired registered name can be accurately recalled. .

<Prior art> In recent years, the spread of word processors has been remarkable.
Used in various offices.

Various sentences created using this word processor are registered and saved in a memory such as a floppy disk with a registered name given to each sentence.

When registering this text, the operator assigns a registered name that corresponds to the text that the operator is trying to register, but there is generally a limit to the number of characters in this registered name.
Within these limits, it was necessary to create a registered name that accurately expressed the content of the text.

However, as the number of registered texts increases, the number of similar registered names also increases, making it difficult to find a text with the desired registered name when recalling the registered text later.

That is, to call up a registered text, a list of registered names is called up on the display screen, the desired registered name is selected by looking at the list of registered names displayed on this display screen, and the corresponding registered name is called in response to this selection operation. Text is displayed on a display screen.

In this case, if there are many similar registered names, when displaying a list of registered names, it is not possible to determine which text is the target text just from the registered name, so the entire registered text is first called up on the display screen. Users were forced to perform tedious operations such as checking the content of the text, and if it was not the text they were looking for, displaying the list again and selecting the next registered name.

Therefore, it is troublesome for the operator to recall the registered text, and there remains a problem in improving the efficiency of text processing.

<Purpose> The present invention was proposed to solve the above problems, and in particular, it is a text display that efficiently uses the display screen, that is, displays the text being created on the screen of the display device. area, and a list display area that displays multiple registered names of registered sentences at the same time;
A registered text display area is configured to display a part of the registered text, and a plurality of registered names and a part of the registered text corresponding to the registered name are simultaneously displayed on one display screen along with the text being created. The relationship between the text being created, the list of texts to be called up, and the registered texts is made clear, so that the text creation process using the registered texts can be performed efficiently.

<Example> Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a display method of the text processing device of the present invention, that is, a display example when a registered text is called up. First, an outline of display control will be explained.

When creating a sentence, the sentence entered from the keyboard device is displayed on the display screen DP of the CRT display device, and in this state, the sentence registered on the floppy disk (FD) on which the sentence was created earlier is inputted. When inserting into a sentence, specify the insertion position in the sentence you are creating using cursor K, and then
The registered text is inserted at the indicated position by calling it.

At this time, when calling registered sentences from the FD, each sentence is registered in the FD by a desired keyword (registered name), and one sentence is selected by displaying the keywords in a list.

Therefore, during the call operation, as shown in Figure 1, the display screen DP is divided into three parts, and in the upper area A, part of the text being created (approximately three lines above the position to be inserted) is displayed. In the interrupted area B, a keyword list of the registered sentences is displayed, and in the lower area C, a part of the selected registered sentences (the top five lines of the registered sentences) is displayed.

By this display, the operator can confirm whether the registered text that he or she is trying to recall is the desired text. Furthermore, if the registered text is the desired registered text, pressing the execution key will display the text being created as shown in Figure 2. The registered text C' that has been selected successively from the position of the cursor K is connected and displayed (created).

The present invention facilitates the operation of recalling a registered text by controlling the display as described above, so that the desired registered text can be immediately recalled on the screen.

Next, the structure of the text processing apparatus of the present invention that performs the above operations is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and this structure will be explained below.

In FIG. 3, 10 is a program memory 1 in advance.
This is a control section that performs text editing control according to an editing program stored in 2, and is connected to each unit described below.

A keyboard unit 11 supplies key signals to the control section 10 when each key is operated. This keyboard unit 11 has character keys for inputting text (in this example, since it is equipped with kana-kanji conversion, it consists of kana character keys, alphanumeric keys, numeric keys, etc.) and keys for various editing controls. It is configured. Typical editing control keys include a cursor key to move a cursor mark displayed as an input position on the display screen, a list key to display a list of registered sentences, and a key to temporarily recall one registered sentence listed. It is provided with a division key for displaying, an execution key for executing operations, and the like.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a kana-kanji conversion unit which converts kana sentences input from the keyboard unit into sentences mixed with kanji and outputs the converted sentences. 14 is a text buffer that stores text data created by the kana-kanji conversion unit.

16 is a floppy disk (FD), which stores a registered text area 42, keywords (registered names) of all registered texts stored in this area 42, and address data of the text data, as shown in FIG. It consists of an index area 41.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a memory that constitutes various buffers, counters, etc. As shown in FIG. section (5 lines in this example) is FD16
A registered character buffer 31 that stores part of the registered text transferred from the above, a line buffer 32 that temporarily stores the text data of the line where the cursor mark K on the display screen is positioned, and A pointer (P ₁ ) 37 indicating the position of text data to be stored in the line buffer 32 by controlling the addresses of various buffers such as a stack buffer 33 for temporarily storing data on a standby basis, and the text buffer 14, and a cursor position of the line buffer 32. pointer (P ₂ )
36, a DC counter 34 that counts up or down every time the cursor key is operated,
It includes an LC counter 35 that indicates the cursor position when displaying a list.

Referring again to FIG. 3, reference numeral 17 is a printer controller that controls the printer 18. Reference numeral 19 denotes a display memory in which display data is stored under write control by the control section 10 and read out by the display controller 20 to display the data on the CRT 21.

The ■ mark in Figure 1 is a cursor mark K that is displayed according to the DC counter 34 and indicates the input position of the text, and the mark in Figure 1 is a cursor mark for list instruction that is displayed according to the LC counter. It is M.

Next, the operation of the text processing apparatus having the above configuration will be explained below according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in general text processing, kana sentences are input from the keyboard according to the document to be created, and the kana-kanji conversion unit 13 converts them into sentences with kanji mixed in, and the sentences are stored in the text buffer 14. Also,
The input text data is also stored in the display memory 19 and displayed on the CRT 21.

These created text data can be saved on a floppy disk (FD) by entering a keyword (registered name).
16 can be registered. In this case, FD1
Keywords and address data for storing text data are stored in pairs in the index area 41 of No. 6.

In this way, multiple types of text data are stored in FD16.
, and the text data being created is stored in the display memory 19 and the text buffer 14.
When reading data from the FD 16 and inserting it into text data currently being created, use the cursor keys to move the cursor to the insertion position.

Subsequently, when the list key is operated on the keyboard, the operation of the flow shown in FIG. 5 is executed.

This means that the text data being created stored in the display memory 19 is scrolled up in rows, and the contents of the DC counter 34 are further modified by the amount that the text data row has been moved up to correspond with the screen. As a result, the screen is displayed as shown in the upper row of FIG. 1 (in this example, the cursor is scrolled so that the cursor line is positioned on the third line of the screen). Furthermore, display memory n
Display data after the line (after the insertion position) is erased.

Subsequently, the index data of the FD 16 is transferred to the list buffer 30 (FIG. 4), and the keyword (registered name) data transferred to the list buffer 30 is sequentially transferred and stored in the display memory 19 starting from the nth line. At this time, address data is not transferred to the display memory 19 (FIG. 4, 2).

Furthermore, the LC counter 35 is reset, and a cursor mark M() is stored in the corresponding line of the display memory according to the contents of the LC counter 35. In this state, the display is as shown in the upper and middle rows of FIG.

Here, the operator can check the keyword list registered in the FD16. The operator then moves the cursor mark M to the desired keyword position using the cursor keys. This operation causes the LC counter 35 to count up (cursor up key) or count down (cursor down key) every time the cursor key is operated.
Then, similarly to the above, a cursor mark M is displayed at a position corresponding to the LC counter 35, and furthermore, the text memory after line m is erased. (This deletion is to delete the registered text corresponding to the keyword described later).

Here, when the operator cannot determine whether or not it is the desired registered text based on the keyword alone, he operates the division key.

By operating this key, a keyword in the list buffer 30 corresponding to the LC counter 35 is selected, and address data corresponding to this keyword is taken out and supplied to the FD 16.

Based on this data, the FD 16 accesses the registered text data area corresponding to the keyword and transfers the registered text data to the registered text buffer 31 (FIG. 4, 3).

The text data to be transferred is not necessarily the entire text, but just one part of the text is sufficient to determine whether it is the desired text. Therefore, in this example, five lines of text data are transferred. This is also effective in improving processing speed.

Subsequently, the data in the registered text buffer 31 is transferred to the lower block (from line m onwards) of the display memory 19 (FIG. 4) and displayed as shown in FIG.

After the above processing, including cases in which the keyword can be used for determination without performing the above division operation, when the operator selects the desired keyword and operates the execution key, the registered text data of the FD 16 corresponding to the LC counter 35 will be displayed as the text The data is sequentially transferred to the text buffer 14 from the address (pointer P ₁ ) corresponding to the cursor position in the buffer 14 (FIG. 4, FIG. 5).

Subsequently, the n and subsequent lines of the display memory 19 are erased, and the text data (registered text data) starting from the _P1 position of the text buffer 14 (registered text data) is transferred one line after the cursor position ( _P2 ) of the line buffer 32 ( Fourth
Furthermore, the data in the row buffer 32 is transferred to the stack buffer 33 (FIG. 4, FIG. 7).

Next, the data in the row buffer 32 is sequentially transferred starting from the DC counter 34 (cursor K position) of the display memory 19, and the row buffer 32 is transferred so that the display memory 19 exceeds its capacity, that is, the data is transferred to the bottom row of the screen. The data is then transferred to the display memory 19 via the display memory 19 (FIG. 4, 6 and 9).

As a result of this operation, the registered text that is subsequently recalled is inserted and displayed in the text that is being created, as shown in FIG.

Subsequently, the data in the stack buffer 33 is transferred to the row buffer 32, and the row buffer 32 stores the cursor row on the display screen.

By the above-described operations, it is possible to easily and easily insert a previously registered sentence into the sentence currently being created.

In the above embodiment, a part of the registered sentences is displayed simultaneously with the list using the split key, but it is possible to display the registered sentences one after another each time the cursor moves (switching the list) without using the split key. You may also do this.

It goes without saying that when there is no text being created, the text in the upper row of FIG. 1 is not displayed.

<Effects> As described above, the present invention provides a text processing device that can retrieve a desired registered text from a storage device, insert it into a text being created, and display it on the screen of a display device. A text display area for displaying a text being created on the screen of the display device when a registered text of the device is selected, a list display area for simultaneously displaying a plurality of registered names of registered texts, and a part of the registered text. A registered text display area is configured to display a plurality of registered names and a part of the registered text corresponding to the registered name, along with the text being created, on one display screen at the same time. From this screen, the operator can easily determine which registered name the desired registered text is, and this makes it easy to recall the registered text, especially when inserting the registered text into the text currently being created. It is extremely effective and has the characteristics of being able to improve the efficiency of text processing.
