Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a document editing device, which divides a document exceeding the display range of a display means into a plurality of parts, displays each part on the display means simultaneously, and edits a document into a plurality of parts. The present invention relates to an editing device that performs editing and correction across a display portion.

[Background of the invention]

Conventional document editing devices display a portion of a document as it is on a display device, so editing and proofreading of a portion that exceeds the display range of the display device is almost always performed by scrolling the screen.

Another method is to use Japanese input/editing devices that display as wide a range as possible by reducing the size of the characters, but this makes it difficult for the operator's eyes to read the characters. Tired. However, there were some drawbacks. In addition, there is a personal input editing device that sets multiple display parts on the display device to display multiple parts of the document, but when performing one editing proofreading, specify multiple parts as targets. It was difficult to use, and the operability was poor.

[Purpose of the invention]

In a document editing device, the present invention divides the document to be displayed into a plurality of parts and simultaneously displays them when displaying a document that is being inputted, edited, proofreaded, and edits the currently displayed characters over a plurality of display areas. To improve the operability of document editing and proofreading in a Japanese language manual editing device by enabling proofreading.

[Summary of the invention]

In the document editing and proofreading according to the present invention, a document is displayed on a Japanese input/editing device equipped with a character input means, a means for displaying the character input/editing state, and a storage/storage means for the created document. When editing, it is now possible to divide the display part into multiple parts and edit and proofread across multiple display areas while referring to display control information that includes position information within the document displayed on each split screen. This is what I did.

Processing from the continuous layer input 9 editing state 101 will be explained. First, in process 102, by inputting the signal of the above-mentioned "screen division" key 601, the process moves to process 103, as shown in FIG.
As shown in b), a cross cursor 705 for dividing the display screen is displayed by the screen control program. Here, the operator operates the cursor key 602 to move the cursor so that the input editing screen field becomes larger by the desired number of divisions. In this embodiment, in order to simplify the operation, if the intersection of the cross cursor is in the manual editing screen field, it will be divided into 4 parts, and when the intersection point is placed in the input editing screen field, it will be divided into 4 sections, and when the intersection point is placed in the input editing screen field, it will be divided into 4 sections. When the cursor is completely moved out of the screen in the lower half, the entire input editing screen field is displayed in a reduced form as described below. In process 104, this cursor key 60
Input the 2nd signal, and when the cursor movement is finished, [-Execute-
1 key 605 is operated, the signal is processed 105.
By inputting in , the next display magnification designation screen display process 106 is performed.

The display 1 & rate specification screen is 1. As shown in Fig. 4(b), the display magnification of each divided JI screen is displayed 706, and the 7-trix display field is divided into three stages, and virtual keys for specifying the magnification are displayed 707. Here, the magnification of each display portion is specified, and the standard size is determined as an initial value so that no special specification is required. Real truth I
Te! In one example, 1/3 is adopted as the reduction ratio, but this reduction ratio can be set arbitrarily, such as 1/2 or 1/4, depending on the display means.

Furthermore, the cursor movement here improves the operability by moving from one point on the divided screen to one point on the immediately adjacent screen. A designation signal is input in process 107, and once the magnification has been designated, the "execute" key 605 is operated, and the signal is input in process 108, thereby moving on to the next split screen association process.

Here, the association of a plurality of display parts will be explained. Here, relating is called 1-linked, and not relating is called ``independent.'' In this embodiment, the association is performed for vertically, horizontally and horizontally adjacent display parts.

In the process 109 of FIG. 5(a), an interlock designation screen as shown in FIG. 5(b) is displayed. Designation input is performed using virtual keys 708, but in this embodiment, the target boundary 709 is highlighted and displayed in half black and white, and the control program is capable of specifying the next boundary with a single input using cursor movement keys. It is said that Also, by looking at the display of this boundary, you can
In order to ensure that independence is constant, the boundary is filled with a pattern of light points if they are linked and boiling points if they are independent. In process 110, the association signal is manually input, and in process 111, the "execute" key signal is input, and the process moves to process 112, where the parts of the number of poles are simultaneously displayed as shown in FIG. 5(C). The input 1 editing status is displayed with the associated parts. In addition, in this embodiment, the association between the left and right display sections is such that the line position is associated with the digit position in the upper and lower display sections, but these associations can be specified individually, and the association between the line position or the left and right display sections is It is also possible to add processing that allows association of digit positions on the display unit.

FIG. 6 is a display control information table for performing a display control IF associated with one column position on a screen divided into a plurality of display areas. In this leprosy example, screen numbers 1 to 4
The case where there are four items is exemplified. Reference numeral 201 is a display section size IR report, which indicates the number of lines (9 digits) of each section that can be displayed on a display device divided into J number of sections, and each value is expressed as a number of dots. 202 is the display magnification, with the standard size being 1 and 1. When reduced, it has a value such as 1/3. 2
03(q) is linked information, and in this embodiment, it is possible to link up to two parts, so it has two pieces of data and is a function linked to the linked screen number (A is row 11''!-neck, B is 204-digit current display position information indicates the start position of the currently displayed character as the page number, line number, and digit of the document. 205 is main screen information, which indicates where the display part where the cursor is currently located is on screen numbers 1 to 4. It is recorded by setting the screen number where the cursor is located to 1.

Regarding screen number 1 in Figure 6, display control (to explain the information content as an example, the size on the trenchless display device is 10 lines, 20 digits (280 dots vertically)). , 240 dots horizontally), the display magnification is standard size, and the associated display area is line alignment with screen number 2 (display area on the right side), and digit alignment with screen number 3 (display area below). Yes, the first character currently displayed is the first page, first line, first column of the document, where the cursor is.

FIGS. 7 to 11 show changes in the display state of the associated pond display portions according to the main screen + 16 minutes of text and text input.

FIG. 7 shows an entire page of a document to be displayed as an illustrative example. In this way, for pages with large paper sizes, the display area
It is impossible to check the entire image at once on the display screen #t7. Therefore, to display separate parts of a document at the same time, split display is performed. To simplify the expression below, the third
Only the manual recitation collection screen field 701 in the figure will be illustrated and explained.

The explanation will be given with reference to the four-division section 911 shown in FIG. The cross-shaped margin indicated by 710 becomes the dividing boundary. For ease of explanation,

You can control the display of things like "end of sentence", so you can input and edit while referring to the desired part in multiple places.

In FIG. 9, consider deleting all the data of Item No. 9, which is the selling price of the toaster by -1. However, the item number shall remain. In the Japanese input/editing device of this embodiment, in order to delete a character string, set the cursor on the deletion start character and press the "Delete" key 611, then move the cursor to the deletion end character with the cent [7] By pressing the "Delete" key 611, the range in which characters are to be deleted is specified. By subsequently inputting the "execute" key 605, the specified character string is deleted. First, let's start with "G" in item number 9 in Figure 9.
By placing the cursor on the character and pressing the "Delete" key 611, the deletion start position (a is specified. As a result,
The character "g" is recognized as the deletion start character and is displayed in reverse black and white. Next, move the cursor from the third screen 713 to the 411th! to specify the deletion end character. ii side 71
4 and scroll the fourth screen 714 to the left to display the last character of the line. Then, set the cursor on the last character "3" in the line of item number 9 and press the "delete" key 611. As shown in FIG. 10, the character "3" is recognized as the deleted character and displayed in black and white. Then, by pressing the "execute" key 605, the deletion function is executed, and a display as shown in FIG. 11 appears.

FIGS. 12 to 14 are flowcharts outlining the process for controlling the display screen. From F
CD Description In the VC, the direction of kernel movement and scrolling will be omitted unless particularly necessary. Further, explanation of exception handling will also be omitted.

The display screen control shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 will be explained. In process 113, key input is accepted, and the input key is "cursor".
If it is the key 602, the process moves to a cursor movement subroutine process 115 based on a determination process 114 to move the cursor. At this point, the cursor is moved repeatedly until the cursor is placed on the third double-sided surface 713 shown in FIG. After that, "Delete" key 6
When 11 is input, the process moves to process 119 through determination process 118, and it is determined whether the deletion range (start and end) has already been designated. If the deletion range has already been specified, it will be treated as an error and the process will proceed to another process.

If the deletion range has not been specified yet, the cursor position is determined in process 120, the 1st column position on page 9 in the document corresponding to the cursor position 1fK is determined, and it is set as deletion range information in process 121, and in process 122. Display the relevant characters in black and white. The above process completes the designation of the deletion start character.

Next, in order to specify the deletion end character, the third screen 713
When the "1 cursor" key 602 is input to move the cursor from the screen to the fourth screen 714, this is determined in process 114 and the cursor is moved by a cursor movement subroutine 115. Since deletion and termination characters are not displayed in FIG. 9, by inputting the "scroll" key 603, this is determined in process 116 and the scroll routine 117 is called to scroll the fourth screen 714 to the left. do. By repeatedly inputting this "scroll" key 603, the deletion end character is displayed, and then the cursor is moved to "13 of 33" in sales for March 1958 (F). Cursor movement at this time is determined in process 114 and performed in cursor movement routine 115, as described above. By pressing the "delete" key 611, this is determined in step 118, and in step 119, it is determined that the end position qll of the deletion range specification has not been set.
In process 120, the cursor position is determined, and in the document corresponding to the cursor position, the page 1 line 2 digit position is determined, and in process 121, it is set as 61 exclusion range t# information, and in process 122, the corresponding characters are inverted in black and white. Display.

Then, by inputting the "1 Execute" key 605, this is determined in process 123, and in process 124 it is determined whether or not the deletion range has already been specified, and the process J! II Delete the character string in the range specified in 125.

Figures 13 and 14 are the same as Figure 12! ! 115°11
7 is a processing flow of the cursor movement and scrolling routine. Detailed explanation will be omitted.

Through the processing described above, it is possible to realize a deletion function using a range command that spans multiple screens.

In this embodiment, only the deletion function has been described, but it can be applied to all editing and proofreading functions that are executed by specifying a range. Even if the display magnifications of the multiple screens on which the range is specified are different, this can be done by setting the start and end position information of the range specification as the 2nd column, 2nd line, page 2 position in the document.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, even if a document to be input, edited, or checked can only be partially displayed due to the performance of the display device, it can be divided into multiple parts and displayed, and can be displayed across multiple parts. Since various editing and proofreading functions involving range specification can be executed, character strings to be edited and proofread can be easily specified, and a Japanese input and editing device with extremely high operability can be provided.
