Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit the individual setting of segment size and to prevent editing work from intermission by contracting slave segment size to the residual size of the size occupied by a master segment when the slave segment size is larger than said residual size. CONSTITUTION:A frame 1 is an editing range and includes segments 1-4 in its inside. When ''FUJITSU Co.'' of the master segment 3 is to be changed to ''FUJITSU COMPANY'' 5 to be a full name if the segment 1 is a company name and the segment 2 is its telephone No., the slave segment 3 is projected from the frame 1 up to the adjacent frame or the outside of a printing frame. If the advertisement sentence is, for instance, used in the same city, the slave segmentes stored in the form (7) of 777-1111 obtained by omitting its toll number or 044-777-1111 using contracted characters is stored on the basis of the information that the size of the slave segment 6 is narrowed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a character editing processing method, particularly when editing a document etc. that includes multiple segments in a frame. This relates to a character editing processing method that automatically sets the size of a segment located at the back (child segment) based on the size of the segment so that it does not protrude from the frame.

[Problems to be solved by conventional technology and invention] Conventionally,
When setting multiple segments in a frame and storing characters, etc. in each segment, as a result of actually storing a predetermined number of characters, etc. in each segment, the size of the segment does not protrude from the frame or I was editing to decide on the placement. However, 8-bit editing requires extremely complicated input from the operator. For this reason, for example, as a method for editing between a parent segment and a child segment, there is a method that predicts the result of padding of the parent segment and automatically determines the starting point and size of the child segment based on the predicted result. . However, this method has the problem that it requires a lot of calculations to predict the result of padding of the parent segment, and it takes a lot of time to determine the position and size of the starting point of the segment. there were.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problem, and when editing a document etc. that includes multiple segments in a frame, the size of the child segment located at the back is adjusted based on the result of padding of the parent segment located at the front. By automatically setting the child segment to a size that does not extend beyond the frame, it is possible to automatically set the size and position of the child segment and continue editing. Therefore, the character editing processing method of the present invention is a character editing processing method that automatically sets the size of a plurality of segments arranged in a frame. A table, a segment coordinate table for extracting and storing information regarding the parent segment from the frame/segment information table, and arranging the parent segment in the frame based on the information regarding the parent segment read from the segment coordinate table. a residual size calculation means for calculating a residual size in a frame; a segment size comparison means for comparing the residual size calculated by the residual size calculation means with the size of a child segment read from the frame segment information table; segment size determining means for determining either the size of the child segment or the residual size as the size of a new child segment based on the result of comparison by the segment size comparing means; It is characterized by automatically setting the size of the segment to be placed.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are conceptual explanatory diagrams explaining the concept of the configuration of one embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of one embodiment of the present invention. A flowchart illustrating the operation of one embodiment of the invention is shown.

In the figure, 1 represents a frame, 2 a frame/segment information table, 3 a segment coordinate table, 4 a segment basic information table, and 5 a segment size determining means.

The present invention will be explained in detail using FIGS. 2 and 3.

Frame 1 in FIG. 2 is a range to be edited, and is, for example, an advertisement surrounded by ruled lines of a newspaper or telephone directory, and includes illustrated segments (1) to (4) inside. If 11 is the company name and Segment (2) is the phone number of the company, then the corresponding Segment [11 and Segment (2)]
Due to its nature, it needs to be placed integrally with segment (2) without being separated. Diagram showing the inseparable relationship ■
Segment (1) is called a parent segment, and segment (2) shown in the figure is called a child segment. It is not permitted to arbitrarily separate and arrange these parent segments and child segments into separate shapes during editing.

Figure 3 (A) Diagram: ``Fujitsu-'' as the parent segment and 044-777111 as the child segment.
There is a frame 1 that can store exactly 1".

Now, if you change the full name "Fujitsu Ltd." from "Fujitsu" stored in the parent segment shown in the figure, the child segment shown in Figure 3 (B) will protrude from frame 1. In this case, the image may protrude to the adjacent area or outside the print frame, making it impossible to perform other subsequent edits properly.

Therefore, the present invention automatically resizes the child segment so that it does not protrude from frame 1, as shown in FIG. 3(C), even if a situation such as shown in FIG. and edit the position. As a result, editing work can be continued without hindrance to editing other subsequent segments. At this time, after the editing of the series of segments is completed, based on the notification that the size of the child segment shown in FIG. 3(B) has been narrowed as shown in FIG. 3(C), for example, the advertisement If it is for only the same city, it is stored in the form of "777-1111" shown in Figure 3 (C) with the area code omitted, or in the form of "044-777-1111" using reduced characters. do it. Processing after the segment size is determined, ie, whether or not to use reduced characters, may be considered separately.

In FIG. 1, a frame/segment information table 2 is a table for storing information regarding the frame 1 and the segments stored in the frame 1 as shown in FIG.

Segment coordinate table 3 in the figure contains information regarding the parent segment, for example, the coordinates of the starting point of the character for the parent segment coordinates shown in Figure 3 (B) "Fujitsu Ltd." as described above).
etc. are read out from the frame/segment information table 2 and stored.

Segment basic information table 4 in the figure contains information regarding child segments calculated using the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 3(C).
This is used to store information such as the size and position of the child segment shown in the figure.

Segment size determining means 5 in the figure is for automatically calculating the size of child segments, etc. based on the information stored in the frame segment information table 2 and segment coordinate table 3. this is,
For example, the child segment shown in FIG.
It is automatically edited into a form like the child segment shown in Figure (C). The operation of the configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be explained in detail below using the flowchart shown in FIG. 4.

In FIG. 4, (al) indicates a state in which various information necessary for the following processing is read from the frame/segment information table 2.

(b) in the figure shows a state in which various information necessary for the following processing is read from the segment coordinate table 3.

In the figure, fcl indicates a state in which the following arithmetic processing is performed: The "X" means the remaining size occupied by the parent segment in the letter direction in the frame.

(Frame X-direction size) in the formula is obtained by reading the value stored in the frame x-direction size shown in the shown frame/segment information table 2 in FIG. Furthermore, the expression (maximum coordinate in the character direction of the parent segment) is obtained by reading the value stored in the maximum coordinate in the zero character direction in the segment coordinate table 3 shown in FIG.

In the figure, dl indicates a state in which the value X' - segment size in the X direction (2) is read. Direction (character direction) means size.

In the formula, "X11=" is obtained by reading the value stored in the illustrated [phase] segment X-direction size in the frame/segment information table 2 in FIG.

In the figure, tel indicates a state in which the calculation of X≦x' is performed. If YES, state B t
Execute r). If No, execute state (gl).

In the figure (fl is segment basic information table 4 in Figure 1)
This shows a state in which the value ``X'' obtained by the above formula (1) is stored in the size in the X direction (segment). This means that the size ``x+y'' of the child segment is Since it is larger than the remaining size "X" occupied by the segment, if the previous child segment size "x" was placed in the frame as it is, it would extend beyond the frame, so the size of the child segment "'x"' should be changed. This is an image that was automatically edited to correct it to "X".

For example, fgl in Figure 1 is an example of automatically editing the size of the child segment shown in Figure 3 (B) shown above to the size of the child segment shown in Figure 3 (C).
The figure shows a state in which the illustrated value " Since this is smaller than the remaining size "x" occupied by the parent segment, the previous child segment size "X" is set as is.

Similarly, the process of automatically editing the size of the child segment in the Y direction to a predetermined size depending on the state (hl or 1) is shown. This will be briefly explained below.

In the figure, the following calculation process is performed: [hlby=(frame size in the Y direction)−(maximum coordinate in the row direction of the parent segment) (3). The "y" means the remaining size occupied by the parent segment in the row direction in the frame.

The value (frame Y-direction size) in the formula can be obtained by reading the value stored in illustrated@frame Y-direction size in the illustrated frame/segment information table 2 in FIG. Furthermore, the expression (maximum coordinate in the row direction of the parent segment) is obtained by reading the value stored in the maximum coordinate in the row direction 0 in the segment coordinate table 3 shown in FIG.

In the figure (i+ is.

yo-segment Y-direction size...(4) Indicates a state where a value is read. "y" means the size of the child segment in the Y direction (row direction) in the state before the processing according to the present invention is performed.

In the formula, "yo" is obtained by reading the value stored in the Y-direction size of the 0 segment shown in the frame/segment information table 2 in FIG.

Indicates a state in which the calculation y≦y is performed. If YES, state (g)) is executed. If No, state (1) is executed.

In the figure (kl is segment basic information table 4 in Figure 1)
3 shows a state in which the value "y" obtained by the above formula (3) is set to the size of the segment in the I-Y direction. This is because the size "yo" of the child segment is larger than the remaining size "y" occupied by the parent segment in the frame, so if the previous child segment size "yo" was placed in the frame as is, the frame would be Since the size of the child segment would protrude, editing was automatically performed to correct the size of the child segment "y" to "y".

(1) in the figure is the segment basic information table 4 in Figure 1.
The value "yo" obtained by the above formula (4) is set to the Y-direction size of the 0 segment shown in the figure. Since it is smaller than the remaining size "y", it is the same size as the previous child segment "y".

In addition, the maximum coordinate in the 0-character direction and the maximum coordinate in the 0-line direction in the segment coordinate table 3 that stores information regarding the parent segment in FIG. It is stored at the starting point in the X direction of the (Illustrated ■ segment) and the Y-direction starting point of the illustrated [phase] segment. This will automatically set the starting coordinates of the child segment.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, X of the child segment
If the size in the direction and the size in the Y direction become larger than the remaining size occupied by the parent segment in the frame, the size of the child segment is automatically reduced to the remaining size, so the segment There is no need to perform an operation to set the size of the segment by several steps, and the subsequent editing work is not interrupted due to the segment protruding from the frame. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of frame editing work and to reduce operator input.
