Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system, such as a card type data processing device, for handling node information and an information group showing a data structure according to a link relation between them on a personal computer or a workstation.

Specifically, the node portion may be of a card type or may be represented by a concept such as a page of a notebook. In short, the structure itself between data has a meaning. It can be applied to any system as long as it handles information groups.

In such a system, for example, when the card-type data is displayed, it is required that the card-type data can be erased, moved, and the size can be changed in a minimum required processing time. Further, it is required that the cost of the processing apparatus itself can be reduced.

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 12 and 13 are views for explaining a conventional card type data processing device, FIG. 12 shows a configuration example, and FIG. 13 shows a display example. Details of the conventional card-type data processing device are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-228425, which was filed by the applicant of the present application. Therefore, the main points will be mainly described below.

In the card type data processing device, various data (parts) such as text data and image data are managed in card units and displayed in card units to provide information to the user.

As shown in FIG. 12, such a conventional card-type data processing apparatus includes a component storage unit 2 for storing component data in the same card and a card storage unit for storing card data of a plurality of cards. 1, a context storage unit 3 that stores context information that indicates the context of each component in the same card, a context change unit 4 that changes the context of the context storage unit 3, and an overlap between components The overlap determining unit 5 and the like for determining Regarding the context of the parts, for example, the first created part is located at the rearmost, and is ordered forward according to the order of creation.

Regarding the display, when it is specified that some or all of the display positions of the parts are coincident with each other, some or all of the parts displayed behind are displayed in front. It is hidden by the parts that are displayed.

In the case of deleting or displaying a part having a portion hidden by another part as described above, the overlap judging section 5 judges the overlap between the parts and prepares for each part. The following data (display data that becomes invisible by displaying the part) and the previous data (display data of the part itself) are used to redisplay only the area where the display has changed. .

For example, as shown in FIG. 13, when a part of the part A is displayed hidden in the part B, the previous data of the part B and the part B are displayed for the part B. The background data when B is erased and the subsequent data including the display data of the component A with respect to the part where the component B and the component A overlap each other are included. By displaying the data after B at that position,
A display when the part B is deleted can be displayed.

The component A also has the data before the component A and the data after the component A (background data in this example). The pre-data of each part is stored in the pre-data storage unit 7 of FIG. 12, and the post-data is stored in the post-data storage unit 6 of FIG.

Further, when a part includes a transparent portion, exception processing is performed and re-display is performed. For example, in the example of FIG. 13 above, if there is a transparent portion in the overlapping portion of the component B, the rear data of the component B is, for example, transparent data in the transparent portion in the overlapping portion, When the post-data of the part B is displayed by inserting the part B by the exception processing, the background data is displayed in the part that does not overlap the part A, and the part that does not overlap the part A is not transparent. The data of the part A is displayed in the part, and the transparent data is inserted in the overlapping part as described above, so that the data of the part A is displayed through the transparent data. .

[0012]

As described above, in the conventional card-type data processing device, each part is always displayed data (previous data) of the part itself and a part which becomes invisible by displaying the part. Since the above data was extracted as the post data immediately before displaying the part and the post data was held, it was necessary to substantially hold the display data twice as large as that of the display part. (Previous data storage unit in FIG. 12
7, Refer to the post data storage section 6) Also, for a certain part B, a part A that has a rear order relation
When displaying, the front data of the part A must be reflected not only in the display process of the part A but also in the rear data of the part B, which causes a problem that the display process becomes complicated.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention is a card type data processing apparatus for processing various parts such as texts and images on a card-by-card basis by erasing, moving and changing the size of a card with the minimum necessary processing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a card type data processing device that can reduce the cost of the processing device itself (specifically, the amount of memory).

And an overlap determination unit 5 that determines the degree of overlap in the context of the above parts, and an exception handling unit for parts that include transparent parts.
(Not shown), and the work data storage unit 11
In order to implement the present invention, means for creating the post-data, the pre-data, etc. of the processing target part and displaying the contents of the work data storage unit 11 on the currently displayed display screen is necessary. It is a means. The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the drawings.

Hereinafter, referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, FIGS.
The configuration and operation of the card type data processing device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. First, the basic display operation of the present invention when performing the display shown in FIG. 3 will be described below.

Here, the part B is displayed on the card display portion 8, and the operation for displaying the part A is shown in FIG. First, the previous data of the part A to be displayed is copied to the work data storage unit 11. And part B
When it is checked whether or not is the frontmost part, the part B is not present, so the process proceeds to the next processing step 103, and the part immediately before the part B is set as the part B. (Refer to processing steps 100 to 103) The part A copied in the work data storage unit 11 and
For all data of the part B displayed on the card display unit 8, referring to the card storage unit 1, it is checked whether or not two points are overlapped for all the point data, and the point where the two points are overlapped { In FIG. 2 (b), the transparent color is substituted in the work data storage section 11 for the double shaded line}. (Refer to processing step 105) After performing this processing, when returning to processing step 102, since the part B is at the forefront, the processing moves to processing step 107, and the contents of the work data storage unit 11 (Fig. 4 (b) )reference}
Is displayed.

FIG. 4B shows changes in the work data storage unit 11 in the above process. the first,
The work data storage unit 11 is in a blank state and the part A
After copying (indicated by vertical lines), the part that overlaps with part B (indicated by double diagonal lines) is in transparent color, so the contents of this work data storage section 11 are displayed in the card display section. By displaying in FIG. 8, the data of the part B is displayed in the transparent color portion, and as a result, it is possible to perform the display as shown in FIG. .

In the above example, since it is determined whether or not all the point data of the parts A and B overlap, the processing amount becomes large. FIG. 5 shows the area D of the overlap.
6 shows an example of display processing when the overlap determination unit 5 determines.

As shown in the decision logic in FIG. 10 (a), the overlap decision section 5 detects the left and right (left A, B / right A, B) of the parts A and B in FIG. 11 (b). ), Up and down (top A, B, butto
The presence or absence of overlap is detected by comparing (mA, B),
When the overlap exists, the (left, right, top, but
The rectangle surrounded by (tom) becomes the overlapping area D.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the area where the parts A and B overlap is defined as the area D, and the transparent color is assigned to all the work data in the area D.
Compared to the processing described in FIG. 4 above, the component A existing behind the component B as shown in FIG. 3 can be displayed efficiently.

In FIG. 5, processing steps 100 to 103 are the same as those in FIG. In process step 106,
The overlap determining unit 5 determines whether or not the parts A and B are overlapped with each other, and when it is detected that there is the overlap, the process proceeds to step 108.

In the processing step 108, only in the work data storage section 11, only the area D detected by the overlap determination section 5 {shown by double diagonal lines in FIG. 5 (b)}
Substitute the transparent color.

Therefore, by using the overlap determining section 5, it is not necessary to determine the presence or absence of overlap for all the point data of the parts A and B, and the processing amount is smaller than that in the case of FIG. It is possible to reduce the number and perform more efficient display processing.

The change of the work data in this case is shown in FIG.
, It is exactly the same as FIG. 4 (b). Next, a display process when the component B includes a transparent portion will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 11.

FIG. 11 shows a display example of the part B including a transparent portion. The component B includes a transparent portion as shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in Fig. (A), when the part A and the part B are overlapped {indicated by the area D in the part (b)} and the part B is in front, the transparent color part of the part B is The display data of the part A will be visible.

As described above with reference to FIG. 4, when the component A existing behind the component B is displayed on the card display portion 8 where the component B is already displayed, the overlapping area D is By substituting the transparent color and displaying it on the card display portion 8, the data of the part B becomes visible in the area D, and as a result, the part A is displayed as if it exists behind the part B. We were able to.

However, when the part B includes a transparent part, the data of the part A must be displayed in the transparent part of the area D. Normally, information indicating that the pixel is transparent is added to the pixel data of the transparent portion, so that the processing step 1 of the operation flow shown in FIG.
In 10, all point data (pixels) of parts A and B
2), it is determined whether or not two points are overlapped, and with respect to the overlapped pixels, except for the part where the display data of the component B is transparent,
The transparent color is substituted (exception processing) on the work data described above, and the work data is displayed on the card display unit 8.

The change in the work data storage unit 11 at this time is shown in FIG. 6 (b). As a result, the display data of the part B is displayed in the part where the transparent color is substituted on the work data (that is, the part in which the display data of the part B is not transparent), which is shown in FIG. 11 described above. The display can be done.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the determination of the overlapping portion is performed for all the point data of the parts A and B.
It is determined whether they overlap (corresponding to FIG. 4 described above), and the processing amount increases.

Therefore, even in the display processing in this case,
By using the above-described overlap determination unit 5 to determine the overlap portion, the overlap portion determination process can be limited to the region D. The processing flow at this time is shown in FIG. 7 (a), and the processing step 106 shows the processing by the overlap determining unit 5, and only for the region D detected by the overlap determining unit 5, A portion performing the same processing as the processing step 110 of FIG. 6 is shown in processing step 111, and
The details of the display process are the same as in the case of FIG.

Next, an embodiment in the case of erasing a part will be concretely described with reference to FIGS. First, the part to be erased on the card is the part A, the last part is the part B, and the background data is stored in the work data storage unit 11
Copy to. (Refer to processing steps 120 and 121) If there is no component other than the component A on the card, the background color must be displayed if the component A is deleted. Therefore, the process moves to the processing step 107 and the work data is stored. By displaying the contents of the part 11, that is, only the background data, the part A can be erased. (Refer to processing steps 122 and 107) In the processing step 122, the part A is placed on the card.
Other than the component A, for example, the component B exists and the component A
And the part B do not overlap, it is determined that the part B is not the same as the last part B on the card (see processing steps 122, 123, 125), and if it is not the last part B. Is not directly related to the erasure of the part A, the process moves to the processing step 107, and the work data of the background data copied is displayed on the card display unit 8 to erase the part A. can do.

If the parts A and B overlap (see FIG. 11), in process step 124,
For example, the overlap determining unit 5 is used to obtain a region D where the parts A and B overlap each other.

If the overlapping area D does not include a transparent portion, as is apparent from FIG. 11, when the part A is deleted, the display data of the part B is displayed in the overlapping area D, and the part A of the part A is displayed. Since the part needs to be the background data, the overlapping part in the work data storage section 11 is
In the (area D), after the data of the part B is copied and changed, the contents of the work data storage section 11 are displayed so that the part A can be erased.

However, if the part B includes a transparent portion, it is necessary to display the background data by erasing the part A in the transparent portion. As described above, the work data storage unit 11 corresponds to the pixels of the component B excluding the transparent portion.
The display data of the part B (previous data) is copied, transparent data is substituted for the transparent portion to change (by exception processing), and the contents of the work data storage unit 11 after the change are changed to By displaying on the card display unit 8, the part A can be erased. As described above, according to the present invention, the card storage unit 1, the component storage unit 2 for storing various components, the card display unit 8, and the front-rear relation storage unit for holding the front-rear relation information of the components included in the same card are provided. 3 and
In a card-type data processing device having a front data storage unit 7 for storing display data of the component itself, display data (rear data) hidden behind the component by deleting, moving, or changing the size of the component. In addition, the work data storage unit 11 that temporarily stores the display data (previous data) when re-displaying parts, the overlap determination unit 5 that determines the degree of overlap of the above-mentioned front-rear parts, and the transparent part And a work data storage unit including an exception processing unit for the included parts.
11 is characterized in that the above-mentioned post-data, pre-data, etc. are created and the contents of the work data storage 11 are displayed on the currently displayed display screen.
