Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the output from an external character list usable not only to printing but to store data in a storage medium or to display a picture on a screen by providing an external character part, and storing the external character list generated by converting the data in a prescribed document formed in a sentence-displaying buffer, then using it. CONSTITUTION:The information about the external-character-list output is inputted from a keyboard unit 1 through a central controlling part 2, and transmitted to the external character controlling part 3. The part 3 converts the external character stored in the table in an external character registracting buffer 4 into the prescribed document format and stores it in the document- displaying buffer 5. If required, the central controlling part 2 activates a picture controlling part 10, a print controlling part 8, and a storage controlling part 6. In case the part 10 is activated, the document in the buffer 5 is displayed in a display unit 11. In case the part 6 is activated, the said document is stored in a storage unit 7. And buffer, when the part 8 is activated, the said document is printed in a print unit 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a document creation device having a function of documenting a list of external characters.

(Prior art) In conventional document creation devices, especially Japanese cloth word processors, characters and symbols that are not prepared in advance are created by Knee + J'- according to a predetermined procedure and stored as private characters in a private character registration buffer. It was like that.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional word processor, the operation of outputting the list of custom characters from the custom character registration buffer is limited to the printing output function, and the output operation of the custom character list from the custom character registration buffer is limited to the function of printing output. Functions such as display and storage were not provided for the external character list.

For this reason, a memory area for creating and registering a list of external characters and a memory area for printout were used. As described above, conventional document creation devices have a problem in that they do not have the function of storing a list of external characters in a storage medium or outputting and displaying the list on a screen.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to create documents that can not only print out external characters, but also save them on a storage medium, display them on the screen, and even edit them. The purpose is to provide equipment.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means and Effects for Solving the Problems) To achieve the above object, the present invention prints, displays and/or displays documents stored in a document display buffer in response to commands from a central control unit.
or a document creation device for storing registered characters, comprising a custom character registration buffer that stores registered custom characters, and a custom character control unit that converts the custom characters in the custom character registration buffer into a predetermined document format and stores the converted characters in a document display buffer. The present invention provides a sentence 4) creation device characterized by the following.

(Example) The present invention will be described in detail below based on an illustrated example. FIG. 1 shows a block configuration of a word processor showing an embodiment of the present invention.

A keyboard unit 1 consisting of character keys and editing keys is connected to the central control unit 2, and information is input via this keyboard unit 1. The central control unit 2 is usually composed of a microprocessor, and controls all operations such as printing, displaying, storing, and editing documents, and is connected to this based on instructions from the central control unit 2. Keyboard unit 1, external character control unit 3, document display buffer 5, storage control unit 6, printing fee till o++
8 and the operations of the screen control unit 10 are determined.

The external character control section 3 has a function of converting the external characters in the external character n list buffer 4 connected thereto into a predetermined document format and storing it in the document display buffer 5.

The external character registration buffer 4 is an area in which external characters created by the user based on predetermined instructions are registered and stored. The document display buffer 5 is connected to the central control section 2 and the external character control section 3, and the document stored in this buffer can be printed, displayed, stored, edited, etc. in response to commands from the central control section 2. It has a function to output for.

Via a storage control unit 6 connected to the central control unit 2, the documents stored in the document display buffer 5 are stored in a storage unit 7. Further, the document in the document display buffer 5 is printed on the printing unit 9 via the print control section 8 . Furthermore, the document in the branch display buffer 5 is displayed on the display unit 11 via the screen control section 10. Storage unit 7, printing unit 9 and display unit 11
are connected to a storage control section 6, a print control section 8, and a duplex control section 10, respectively.

Next, the operation of the word processor shown in FIG. 1 will be explained.

Information for outputting a list of external characters is input from the keyboard unit 1 via the central control unit 2. The central control section 2 transmits this to the external character control section 3. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the external character control unit 3 converts the external characters stored in the table in the external character registration buffer 4 into a predetermined document format and stores the converted characters in the document display buffer 5.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a function for editing the custom characters in the custom character registration buffer 4 as a custom character list. In the example in Figure 2, the custom characters converted to this document format are listed as a custom character list.
It shows the state that is output and displayed on the display unit 11. When the external character list is converted into a document format and stored in the Bunkichi display buffer 5 in this way, the central control unit 2 can control the screen control unit 10, the print control unit 8 as necessary.
, starts the storage control unit 6. When the screen control section 10 is activated, the document in the document display buffer 5 is displayed on the display unit 11.

Further, when the storage control section 6 is activated, the document in the document display buffer 5 is stored in the storage unit 7. Furthermore, when the print control section 8 is activated, the print unit 9
The document in the document display buffer 5 is printed. The external character list stored in the document display buffer 5 in this way can be handled in the same way as a normal document. Therefore, the output of the external character list is not limited to printing as in the past, but it is also possible to store the external character list, output it on the display unit, and perform editing functions.

In the above explanation, we have only taken up external characters created by the user as external characters, but the same applies to the output of so-called second-level lists of pre-registered characters and figures that are used less frequently. This invention can be applied. This 2-level list of cash money measures can be handled in the same way as a list of external characters.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, a custom character control unit is provided so that a custom character list created by converting to a predetermined document format can be stored and used in a document display buffer.
A document creation device is obtained that can expand the output of a list of external characters not only to printing but also to storage in a storage medium and output on a display screen.

Therefore, it has the excellent effect of being able to have an editing function as well.
