Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve an ease of operation in page or copy selection during document editing by letting a user know all at once about the details of an entire document (details of each page) or the preserved details of a storage medium (details of each document). CONSTITUTION:If a sheet size and the number of pages printed on a single piece of sheet are designated through an input part 14, CPU11 seeks to obtain the reduction rate of documentary data according to the designated sheet size and number of printed pages, and stores the reduction rate in the document buffer 13a of RAM13. CPU11 reads documentary data worth the number of printed pages from the document buffer 13a in units of a single page and reduces the print data at the reduction rate stored in a reduction rate storage area 13c to develop the reduced documentary data into a print buffer 21. A printing part 19 prints the reduced documentary data developed in the print buffer 21. Thus the details of each page of the documentary data is printed in a reduction size on a single piece of sheet.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creation device such as a Japanese word processor, and prints or prints the contents of each page of one document or the contents of each document stored in a storage medium such as a floppy disk. The present invention relates to a displayable document creation device, and a print control method and a display control method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a document creating apparatus such as a Japanese word processor has a built-in printing function and can print a created document as needed. In this case, in printing the document data including a plurality of pages, the content for one page is printed on one sheet. Therefore, in order to confirm the contents of the entire document (contents of each page) on the paper, it is necessary to print the number of pages.

Further, in the document creating apparatus, the document FD is usually used.
The created document can be stored in a storage medium such as (a document storage floppy disk). Conventionally, as a method of confirming the stored contents of this storage medium, there is a method of printing a list of document names. However, the document name is keyword information arbitrarily input by the user, and the specific content cannot be confirmed from the print result. There are some that can print detailed information such as the title and copyright along with the document name.
Since this detailed information is also keyword information arbitrarily input by the user, it is not possible to confirm the specific content.

Further, when printing the stored contents of the storage medium on a fixed size paper such as a floppy label (a specific label to be attached to a floppy disk), just by printing a list of document names, The specific contents cannot be confirmed from the print result.

Further, in the document creating apparatus, the document data is displayed page by page. Therefore, in order to confirm the contents of the entire document (contents of each page), it is necessary to display each page over many screens by page operation.

Further, even when the storage contents of the document FD are displayed, only the specified document data can be displayed in units of one page. Therefore, in order to confirm the content of each document data, it is necessary to individually call each document data by the document calling operation and display each page over many screens by the page operation.

[0007]

As described above, since the conventional document creation apparatus can print only the contents of one page on one sheet, the contents of the entire document (contents of each page) are confirmed. In this case, it was very uneconomical to use paper for the number of pages. In addition, when editing each page of the document data, there is a problem that many sheets must be rolled up until a desired page is found.

Further, when confirming the storage contents of the storage medium such as the document FD, since there is only a method of printing a list of document names, the specific contents cannot be confirmed from the print result, and the document data cannot be confirmed. When calling, there was a problem that the desired document data was not immediately known.

Also, when printing the stored contents of the storage medium on a standard paper such as a floppy label, the same as above.
The only way to print a list of document names was. For this reason, it was not possible to confirm the specific content from the print result, which was very problematic.

Further, since the document data can be displayed only on a page-by-page basis in the conventional document creation apparatus, when checking the content of the entire document (contents of each page), a page-turning operation can be performed over many screens. It was necessary to display each page. Therefore, when editing each page of the document data, it takes time to display a desired page.

Further, even when the saved contents of the document FD are displayed, only the designated document data can be displayed only on a page-by-page basis. Therefore, in order to confirm the contents of each document data, each document is called by a document calling operation. It was necessary to call the data individually and display each page over many screens by page operation. Therefore, when each document data in the document FD is edited, it takes time to display desired document data (and further desired page therein).

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and informs the user of the entire contents of one document (contents of each page) or the contents stored in a storage medium (contents of each document) at one time. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device, a print control method, and a display control method that can improve the operability of page selection or document selection during document editing.

The input unit 14 is a keyboard for inputting various kinds of information necessary for creating a document. This input unit 14
Includes input keys for Kana, English letters, numbers, etc.
It is provided with various function keys for reduced printing and reduced display of document data, cursor keys for instructing the position of the cursor, and the like. Further, as the function designation keys, for example, "function 1" and "function 2" keys are provided, and various functions can be performed by combining these "function 1" and "function 2" keys with other keys. It can be specified. The input control unit 15 controls input of various information input by the input unit 11.

The display unit 16 is a display device for displaying various kinds of information, and is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display with backlight of 40 characters and 20 lines, and the bottom line (20th line).
Is set in the area dedicated to guide display (guide line). The display control unit 17 controls the display of the display unit 16 under the control of the CPU 11. The display buffer 18 is a memory for expanding the data displayed on the display unit 16.

The printing unit 19 is a printing device for printing various kinds of information, and is composed of, for example, a thermal / thermal transfer type dot printer. The print control unit 20 performs print control on the printing unit 19 under the control of the CPU 11. The print buffer 21 is a memory for expanding the data to be printed by the printing unit 19.

A floppy disk device (hereinafter referred to as FDD) 22 is used as an auxiliary storage device and has a floppy disk (hereinafter referred to as FD) as a storage medium for storing document data. Floppy disk controller (hereinafter referred to as FDC) 23 is a CP
The FDD 22 is controlled under the control of U11.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described. Here, the operation of collectively printing the entire contents of one document (contents of each page) on one sheet will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the print control operation according to the first embodiment. First, the document data to be printed is designated through the input unit 14 (step A1), and the print format is designated (step A2). In this case, each item of the print format includes a sheet size, the number of pages printed on one sheet, and a printing method. The printing method is
There are two methods of reducing the character data in each page, and reducing the pattern data of the character data in each page. Either one is selected. If the character data cannot be read due to the reduced printing, it is better to pattern the character data and perform the reduced printing to obtain the layout of the character data existing in each page.

After such a designation operation, the CPU 11 executes R
After the document data in the main body stored in the document buffer 13a of the AM 13 is saved in the save area 13b (step A3), the designated document data from the document FD set in the FDD 22 is added to the head of the data. The document name and detailed information (title, copyright, etc.) are read and stored in the document buffer 13a (step A4).

Thus, the CPU 11 first reads the document name and detailed information from the document buffer 13a, and develops these information in the print buffer 21 as header information (step A5). As a result, the printing unit 19 prints the header information expanded in the print buffer 21 at a predetermined position on the paper (step A6).

Next, the CPU 11 obtains the reduction ratio of the document data based on the paper size and the number of pages to be printed specified as the print format, and stores this in the reduction ratio storage area 13c (step A7). Then, the CPU 11 reads the document data for one page from the document buffer 13a, reduces the document data at the reduction rate stored in the reduction rate storage area 13c, and expands it in the print buffer 21 (step A8). In this case, according to the designation of the printing method as the printing format, the data obtained by reducing the character data itself in each page is expanded in the print buffer 21, or the character data in each page is patterned, for example, "." Data is represented, and the reduced pattern data is expanded in the print buffer 21. When patterning the character data, the pattern may be changed according to the character type such as Kanji, Hiragana, or English.

At this time, the CPU 11 obtains the print position of the document data and outputs the position information to the print unit 19 through the print control unit 20 (step A9). As a result, the printing unit 19 prints the reduced data (one page of document data) expanded in the print buffer 21 at the printing position on the paper (step A10).

In this way, the processes of steps A8 to A10 are repeated for the designated number of pages, that is, the number of printed pages designated as the print format (Yes in step A11).
s), the print result as shown in FIG. 3 is obtained. In this case, the contents of each page (16 pages in this example) of the document data are printed together with the header information (document name and detailed information) on one sheet. Therefore, the content of the entire document (contents of each page) can be confirmed with only one sheet of paper. As a result, paper can be saved, and a desired page can be quickly found when editing each page of the document data without winding several sheets of paper.

(Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, as a method of confirming the storage contents of the document FD (floppy disk for document storage),
It is characterized in that the list of document names and the specific contents of each document data in the document FD are collectively printed on one sheet.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the print control operation according to the second embodiment. After the document FD to be printed is set in the FDD 22 (step B1), the print format is designated (step B2). In this case, the print format includes a paper size, the number of documents printed on one sheet, the number of pages printed for each document, and a printing method. The printing method is the same as that of the first embodiment, and there are two methods, that is, a method of reducing and printing the character data in each page and a method of reducing and printing the data in which the character data in each page is patterned. Select one or the other.

After such a designation operation, the CPU 11 performs F
Information (document name, detailed information, contents) for one document is read from the document FD set in the DD 22 and stored in the document buffer 13a (step B3).

Therefore, the CPU 11 first reads the document name and the detailed information from the document buffer 13a, and develops these information in the print buffer 21 as header information (step B4). As a result, the printing unit 19 prints the header information expanded in the print buffer 21 at a predetermined position on the paper (step B5).

Next, the CPU 11 obtains the reduction ratio of the document data based on the paper size designated as the print format, the number of printed documents, and the number of printed pages, and the reduction ratio storage area 13
It is stored in c (step B6). And CPU1
1 reads the document data for one page from the document buffer 13a, reduces this at the reduction rate stored in the reduction rate storage area 13c, and expands it in the print buffer 21 (step B).
7). In this case, according to the designation of the printing method as the printing format, the data obtained by reducing the character data itself in each page is expanded in the print buffer 21, or the character data in each page is patterned, for example, "." Data is represented, and the reduced pattern data is expanded in the print buffer 21. When patterning the character data, the pattern may be changed according to the character type such as Kanji, Hiragana, or English.

At this time, the CPU 11 obtains the print position of the document data and outputs the position information to the print unit 19 through the print control unit 20 (step B8). As a result, the printing unit 19 prints the reduced data (one page of document data) expanded in the print buffer 21 at the printing position on the paper (step B9).

In this way, the processes of steps B7 to B9 are repeated for the designated number of pages, that is, for the number of printed pages designated as the print format (Yes in step B10).
The contents of each page for one document data are printed. After that, by repeating the processes from step B3 by the number of designated documents, that is, the number of print documents designated as the print format (Yes in step B11), the print result as shown in FIG. 5 is obtained. In this case, the content of the designated document is the designated page (3 documents, 4 pages in this example) on one sheet.
Only printed. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the saved contents (contents of each document) of the document FD including not only the document name but also the specific contents. As a result, when the document data is called, the desired document data can be surely called without making a mistake.

(Third Embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, when printing the stored contents of the document FD on a fixed-size paper such as a floppy label, the document contents are printed together with the specific contents of each document data together with the list of document names.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the print control operation according to the third embodiment. After the document FD to be printed is set in the FDD 22 (step C1), printing on a standard paper such as a floppy label is designated (step C).
2).

After such a designation operation, the CPU 11 obtains the reduction rate of the document data according to the designated form of the standard paper and stores it in the reduction rate storage area 13c (step C3). At this time, by obtaining the print format according to the form of the standard paper, the following printing on the standard paper is executed according to this format.

That is, the CPU 11 reads the information (document name, detailed information, contents) for one document from the document FD set in the FDD 22 and stores it in the document buffer 13a (step C4).

Here, the CPU 11 first reads the document name and the detailed information from the document buffer 13a, and develops these information in the print buffer 21 as header information (step C5). In this case, since the fixed-size paper such as a floppy label has a very small print area, the header information is also reduced in the print buffer 21 at the reduction rate stored in the reduction rate storage area 13c. As a result, the printing unit 19
Prints the header information expanded in the print buffer 21 at a predetermined position on the standard size paper (step C6).

Next, the CPU 11 causes the document buffer 13a.
The document data is read from and the reduction data is stored in the reduction rate storage area 13c.
The image is reduced at the reduction ratio stored in (3) and is expanded in the print buffer 21 (step C7). In this case, since the print area of the standard size paper such as the floppy label is extremely small as described above, all the data may not be printed even if the size is reduced. Therefore, it is assumed that only the document data of a predetermined number of characters is extracted from the beginning, and this is reduced and expanded in the print buffer 21.

At this time, the CPU 11 obtains the print position of the document data, and outputs the position information to the print unit 19 through the print control unit 20 (step C8). As a result, the printing unit 19 prints the reduced data (document data for a predetermined number of characters) expanded in the print buffer 21 at the printing position on the standard size paper (step C9).

In this way, by repeating the processes of steps C4 to C9 for the total number of documents in the document FD (Yes in step C10), the printing result as shown in FIG. 7 is obtained. In this case, the contents of all the documents are printed by a predetermined number of characters (10 documents, 10 characters in this example) on one standard sheet. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the saved contents (contents of each document) of the document FD including not only the document name but also the specific contents. As a result, even when printing is performed on a standard size paper such as a floppy label, the desired document data can be surely called without mistake when calling the document data, as in the second embodiment.

(Fourth Embodiment) Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The feature here is that the entire contents of one document (contents of each page) are collectively displayed on one screen.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the display control operation according to the fourth embodiment. In the editing MMI (man-machine interface), the number of pages that can be displayed on one screen is predetermined. When displaying document data, CP
U11 obtains the reduction ratio of the document data from the predetermined number of pages and stores it in the reduction ratio storage area 13c (step D1).

Here, the CPU 11 reads the document data in the main body for the predetermined number of pages from the document buffer 13a of the RAM 13, reduces it by the reduction ratio stored in the reduction ratio storage area 13c, and expands it in the display buffer 18. (Step D2). As a result, the display unit 16 displays the expanded document data in the display buffer 18 in a reduced size (step D3). In this case, the document data for the predetermined number of pages is displayed on one screen at a time. If all the data does not fit on one screen, display switching is instructed (Yes in step D4). As a result, the remaining data is read out by the predetermined number of pages and is displayed on one screen as above.

The CPU 11 also displays the document data and a page designating cursor on the same screen (step D5). When the cursor is operated to designate a desired page (Yes in step D6), the CPU 11 reads out the document data corresponding to the designated page from the document buffer 13a and normally displays it (step D7).

As described above, since a predetermined number of pages of document data are displayed on one screen at a time, the contents of the entire document (each page can be displayed without displaying each page over many screens by the page operation). You can check the contents. This makes it possible to easily find and edit a desired page when editing each page of document data.

(Fifth Embodiment) Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. Here, the stored contents of the document FD (contents of each document) are collectively displayed on one screen.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the display control operation according to the fifth embodiment. In the editing MMI (man-machine interface), the number of documents that can be displayed on one screen is predetermined. When displaying the saved contents of the document FD, the CPU 11 obtains the reduction rate of the document data by the predetermined number of documents, and the reduction rate storage area 13c
(Step E1).

Here, the CPU 11 reads out each document data from the document FD set in the FDD 22 by the number of the above-mentioned documents, reduces this by the reduction rate stored in the reduction rate storage area 13c, and expands it in the display buffer 18. (Step E
2). As a result, the display unit 16 displays the display buffer 1
Each document data expanded in 8 is reduced and displayed (step E3). In this case, the document data for the predetermined number of documents is displayed on one screen at a time. If all the data does not fit on one screen, display switching is instructed (Yes in step E4). As a result, the rest of the data is read out for the above-mentioned predetermined documents and is displayed on one screen as described above.

Further, the CPU 11 displays the document data and a cursor for document designation on the same screen (step E5). When the user operates this cursor to specify the desired document data (Yes in step E6), the CPU 11 reads the specified document data from the document buffer 13a and normally displays it (step E7). in this case,
Unless otherwise specified, the first page shall be displayed.
When a page is designated, the document data corresponding to the designated page is read and normally displayed.

As described above, since the document data for the predetermined number of documents is displayed at one time on one screen, the contents of each document data can be confirmed without individually calling each document data by the document calling operation. it can. Thereby, when editing each document data in the document FD, desired document data can be easily found and edited.

Here, the document data is read in units of a predetermined number of documents. However, the number of pages that can be displayed is set for each document, and a predetermined number of pages are read for each document data. You can choose to put it out.

[0063]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) Since the content of each page of the document data is reduced and printed on one sheet, the content of the entire document (content of each page) can be confirmed with only one sheet. This allows
The paper can be saved, and a desired page can be quickly found when editing each page of the document data without winding several sheets of paper.

(2) Since the contents of each document data stored in the storage medium such as the document FD is reduced and printed on one sheet, the detailed contents as well as the document name are confirmed. be able to. As a result, when calling the document data, it is possible to reliably call the desired document data without making a mistake.

(3) Since the content of each document data stored in the storage medium such as the document FD is reduced and printed on the standard size paper such as the floppy label, not only the document name but also the specific content is included.
