Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention provides a registered pattern creation and display processing method, in particular, a registered pattern creation and display processing method, which is expanded to the extent that each dot of a dot pattern constituting a character etc. can be individually identified, and The present invention relates to a registered pattern creation/display processing method for quickly creating a registered pattern by sequentially scrolling and displaying the enlarged dot pattern when the entire dot pattern cannot be displayed at once.

(Technical Background and Problems) Document production devices use F[-patterns] stored in CG (Character Generator) etc. to display characters, symbols, etc. on a display or print them. I am using it. In order to display a dot pattern that is not stored in the CG or the like, the user needs to create a desired dot pattern as necessary.

Conventionally, in order to create a desired dot pattern, each dot composing the dot pattern is displayed as a whole on a display in an enlarged manner to the extent that it can be individually identified, and the position of each displayed dot is determined. The desired dot pattern was created by performing operations such as filling in the dots with black circles. However, in small portable document creation devices, etc., the display is configured to have a display device that can display, for example, one line of 24 x 24 dot characters, and the dot pattern to be created is If an attempt is made to create the pattern by enlarging each dot to the extent that it can be individually identified, there is a problem in that the entire dot cannot be displayed all at once. Another problem is that if you try to see the whole thing at once, you can only display it in a small form, making it difficult to distinguish the positions of minute dots.

To create a conventional dot pattern, after setting the registration mode, move the cursor to the position corresponding to the desired dot pattern on the display panel and press the conversion key one by one for each dot. I created it by pressing the button each time. For this reason, for example, when creating a pattern for dot 1 that is partially composed of straight lines, it is necessary to move the cursor sequentially for each dot position and press the conversion key each time. There was a problem that it was difficult to create an F throat pattern.

Furthermore, considering the case where the position of the dot pattern to be created is filled in with black circles, squares, etc., if a cursor with a single brightness and shape is used, the dots filled in with the black circles, etc. There was a problem in that the cursor was masked by the cursor, making it difficult to see.

(Object and Structure of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by enlarging each dot to the extent that the dot pattern can be individually identified, and by the enlargement, displaying the dots all at once. A desired dot pattern can be easily and simply created on a small display by adopting a configuration in which parts that cannot be displayed on top are displayed in a sequential scrolling manner to create a desired dot pattern. It is in. In addition, when creating a desired dot pattern on the display, if necessary, by employing a configuration that creates a continuous dot pattern by successively pressing a predetermined key, you can quickly create the desired dot pattern on the display. In addition, if necessary, when the cursor is placed over the created dot part, the brightness of the shaped part can be inverted to make each dot easier to see. At the same time, it is made easy to distinguish between dots that have already been created and dots that have not yet been created. Therefore, the registered pattern creation and display processing method of the present invention displays the dot pattern in an enlarged form on the display to create a desired dot pattern. A screen control that extracts a part of the dot pattern stored in the pattern memory being created in a scrolling manner and displays each extracted dot in an enlarged form on the display. and an address calculation unit that detects the position of a cursor displayed on the display and calculates a position in the pattern-under-creation memory corresponding to the position of the cursor, the position indicated by the cursor. When a command to register a dot or delete a dot at a designated position is issued, the dot is stored at a predetermined position in the pattern memory being created calculated by the address calculation section or the dot is deleted. At the same time, the screen control unit is characterized in that an enlarged dot corresponding to the position where the dot is stored or deleted is displayed on the display or not displayed on the display.

(Example of the invention) The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an operation explanatory diagram explaining the operation of the configuration of one embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3 to 5 are the diagrams shown in FIG. 1. A specific display example of a registered pattern using the configuration of an embodiment of the invention, FIG. 6 is shown in FIG. 1 An explanatory diagram illustrating continuous input using the configuration of an embodiment of the invention, FIG. An example of displaying a cursor using the configuration of one embodiment of the present invention is shown.

In the figure, 1 is the pattern memory being created, 2 is the screen control unit, and 3
is a display, 4 is a keyboard, 5 is a keyboard control section, 6 is an address calculation section, 7 is a medium, 8 is a medium control section,
9 represents the old pattern memory.

In FIG. 1, a pattern being created memory 1 is a memory array consisting of 24 dots by 24 dots, and is used to store created dot patterns. The contents of the dot pattern stored in the pattern memory 1 during creation are notified to the screen control section 2, and the dots constituting the dot pattern are enlarged to a size such that each dot can be individually identified. Figure 7 (A) As shown in the diagram 4
The image is enlarged to two dots and displayed on display 3''.

Furthermore, signals generated by pressing a cursor movement key, a conversion key, etc. arranged in the keyboard 4 are notified to the keyboard control section 5, respectively, and are converted into a form such as a JIS code. The converted signal in the form of JIS code or the like is notified to the illustrated address calculation unit 6, which calculates the coordinates (X, y) on the creating Bakun memory 1 corresponding to the position of the cursor displayed on the display 3. calculate. When a conversion key (a key that issues a command to store a dot pattern) arranged in the keyboard 4 is pressed, the predetermined coordinates on the pattern memory 1 being created calculated by the address calculation section 6 are Register a dot at (x, y). In this way, by sequentially repeating the operation of moving the cursor to a desired position on the display 3 and pressing the conversion key, a desired dot pattern can be registered in the pattern memory 1 during creation. Also, to delete part of the dot pattern you have created, move the cursor to the position of the dot you want to delete, and press the non-conversion key (key that issues a command to delete the dot pattern) located on the keyboard 4. Press . As a result, the dot stored at the predetermined position (x, y) in the pattern memory 1 being created is deleted.

In addition, when displaying and modifying the dot/)i turn once created on the display 3, by specifying the so-called registered pattern update mode using the keyboard 4, Completed dot/
The pattern is read out by the medium control unit 8 and stored in the old pattern memory 9 shown. Since the dot pattern stored in the old pattern memory 9 is displayed on the display 3 as described later, it is possible to create a new dot pattern while comparing it with a dot pattern to be corrected. At this time, if necessary, the old pattern stored in the mouth pattern memory 9 is copied to the pattern memory 1 being created,
A dot pattern may be created by modifying the copied old pattern.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 3 indicates the display shown in FIG. 1, which is constituted by, for example, a flytight panel such as a liquid crystal display. In the case shown in the figure, each dot on the pattern memory 1 being created is displayed on the display 3 in a form enlarged into four dots as shown in the figure. In this way, each dot that makes up the dot pattern to be created is enlarged to a shape that can be individually identified, so the entire dot pattern has a size as shown by the dotted line in the figure.
In the case of a display 3 in which the number of dots displayed in the vertical direction is small, such as 32 dots, it is not possible to display the entire image at once. Therefore, in the present invention, a portion of the dot pattern indicated by dotted lines in the figure is displayed on the display array 3 in a sequentially scrolling manner.

Further, when the cursor is moved to the position indicated by ``■'' in the figure, the coordinates of the ``■'' in the figure can be expressed in the form (Xo - Vo +y+). Therefore, if you press the conversion key located on the keyboard 4 after moving the cursor to the position shown in the diagram, A dot will be registered at a predetermined position (x, y). Here, the coordinates x0 and (yo + y+) on the display 3 correspond to the coordinates X and y in the pattern memory 1 being created, respectively. At this time, if the position of the dot pattern to be displayed on the display 3 is scrolled upward or downward,
The value of "yo" shown in the figure changes accordingly. but,
By using the value "yo" which changes by scrolling and the value "yI" on the display 3, arbitrary coordinates (Xo, yO+)'+) in the enlarged dot pattern as shown by the dotted line in the figure can be easily determined. You can Therefore, scroll so that an arbitrary dot pattern is displayed on the display 3,
A predetermined dot pattern can be created sequentially by giving commands to register dots at desired positions.

In addition, ■ in Figure 2 is a form in which the dot pattern currently being created is not enlarged, that is, it is shown in the size normally displayed on the display 3.
(shown as a two-dot figure), which allows an overview of the dot pattern being created.

3 to 5 show specific examples in which registered patterns are displayed on the display 3. FIG. In the figure, Figure 3 (A), Figure 4
Figures (A> and 5A) respectively show the dot patterns stored in the pattern memory during creation. The ranges surrounded by solid lines indicate the dot patterns displayed on the display 3, and the ranges surrounded by dotted lines indicate the dot patterns stored in the pattern memory during creation so that they can be individually identified. The generated dot pattern is shown enlarged.

- FIG. 3(A) Diagram being created FIG. 3(B) is an enlarged display of each dot belonging to the upper part (3) of the dot pattern stored in the pattern memory. Here, each dot stored in the pattern memory 1 during the drawing creation in FIG. 3(A) is as shown in FIG. It is enlarged and displayed in the form of one black circle shown in (2).Therefore, for example, the area where the black circle (2) is located corresponds to the state in which dots are registered in the pattern memory 1 during creation.

Therefore, by moving the cursor to an arbitrary position and pressing the conversion key (the key that issues the command to register) to display the black circle, a dot is placed at the predetermined coordinates in the pattern memory 1 being created as described above.・The pattern will be registered.

Also, ■ in Figure 3 (B) shows the dots and dots being created as described above.
The pattern is not enlarged, that is, it is displayed in the size of normally displayed characters. The pattern represented in the actual size is convenient for determining the overall arrangement, balance, etc. of the dot pattern being created. In the figure, the original dot pattern read out into the old pattern memory 9 and to be updated is displayed in actual size. This is useful when comparing the original dot pattern (2) shown in the figure with the dot pattern being created (2) shown in the figure and correcting or changing it to a desired dot pattern.

Figure 4 (B) is shown in Figure 4 (A) by scrolling.
This shows a state in which the dot butter 7 in the central part is displayed on the display 3. The scrolling is performed by pressing a predetermined cursor movement key arranged in the keyboard 4 so as to move the cursor displayed at the bottom of the display 3 further downward. is displayed on the display 3 as shown in the figure.

Similarly, by moving the cursor further downward, the dot pattern located in the lower part of the diagram (■) in the pattern memory 1 during diagram creation in FIG. 5(A) is displayed in an enlarged form. (B) Display 3 in the form shown.
displayed above.

As shown in Fig. 6, when creating a tonodo pattern in a continuous manner from the position shown on the display 3 from the position indicated by ■ to the position shown [phase], move the cursor to each position from the position shown ■ to the position shown [phase]. Move it and press the conversion key (dot/
It is complicated to press a key (which issues a command to register a pattern) to register a dot at that position, and there is a problem in that it is difficult to quickly create a dot pattern. Therefore, in order to quickly create the continuous dot pattern, etc., for example, after positioning the cursor at the position shown in the figure,
While holding down a predetermined key for registering dot patterns, such as the extended conversion key located on the keyboard 4, move the cursor from the position of ■ to the position of From the diagram ■ to the diagram [phase]
A configuration is adopted in which dot patterns of up to 100% are registered. In addition, when deleting a registered dot pattern, for example, the dot pattern registered in the illustration ■ or the illustration [phase]
To delete a pattern, similarly, after positioning the cursor at the position shown in the figure, press the specified key for deleting the dot pattern, such as the extended conversion key and the semi-voiced sound key located on the keyboard 4. By moving the cursor from the position of ■ in the figure to the position of [phase] in the figure, the dot patterns from ■ in the figure to [phase] in the figure are deleted all at once. Also,
Similarly, dot patterns can be sequentially registered or deleted in a continuous manner in the vertical direction on the display 3.

FIG. 7(A) and FIG. 7(B) are displayed when a dot pattern is registered at the dot position enlarged to IF layout, that is, 4×4 layout on display 3, and when it is not registered, respectively. An example of how the cursor is displayed is shown below.

Each square in the figure corresponds to one dot on the display 3. Further, the hatched portions in the figure indicate dot portions that are displayed, and the other portions indicate dot portions that are not displayed.

In FIG. 7(A), ■ indicates the portion being displayed under the cursor. This means that when you place the cursor over the position where the dot pattern) is registered,
For example, a white dot is displayed surrounded by black dots to make it easier to see the cursor position.
In the figure, @ indicates a portion that is not displayed within the cursor. When the cursor is placed over a position where a dot pattern is registered, a black dot is displayed surrounded by white dots, for example, to make the cursor position easier to understand. In this way, by displaying the partial area of the cursor differently when no dot pattern is registered on the display 3 and when the dot pattern is registered, it is possible to check whether the cursor is registered or not. This makes it easy to determine whether the dot is located on a dot pattern or an already registered dot pattern.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, each dot is displayed on the display in an enlarged form to the extent that the dot pattern can be individually identified, and the enlarged dots are displayed on the display at once. The structure is such that the parts that cannot be displayed are displayed in a sequential scrolling manner to create the desired dot pattern, making it easy to create the desired dot pattern on a small display. can do.
