Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a multilingual recording system, and more particularly, to a multilanguage parallel recording system that enables a joint use of an English text file using CAD.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The procurement of parts from overseas and the T / T to overseas local vendors have been promoted, and promotion of globalization has been demanded. In such globalization, it is becoming indispensable to respond globally, such as writing various drawings in English. Previously, a reference map in English was cut and attached to the officially issued drawing in Japanese. By expanding the procurement menu and increasing the number of drawings,
Such attachments have become difficult. To cope with such difficulties, it has been required that both Japanese and English sentences be written in a CAD drawing at the time of design. In response to such a request, each designer manually (manually) inputs on the CAD when creating the CAD drawing.

[0003] The first problem of manual input is drawing L / T.
Is the effect on In addition to the Japanese notation, it is necessary to write the English notation in parallel, so that the number of man-hours for inputting the drawing by the designer has been increased by two to three times. The second problem is the effect on drawing quality and standardization. Each designer has translated Japanese into English, so the English translation may be different.
It was not standardized. The third problem is that
This is a problem of non-sharing. Because each individual was translated into English, it was personally managed on paper etc. as know-how of each individual. Even if the English translation already exists, the designers rarely diverted it, and the same Japanese sentence was translated many times into English, which was inefficient.

It is desired to reduce the number of input steps. Next, standardization and unification of the notation to be added is required. It is further desired to share standardized and unified notation data of the combined description. That is, it is required to improve the efficiency of the parallel writing and the quality of the parallel writing.

The combined data 7 retrieved by the retrieval unit 4 and determined by the designation unit 6 is output to the CAD system 2 upon designation of a position / attribute described later. Data 7
Is output to the display unit 9 as a CAD drawing and is displayed on the screen of the display unit 9. The screen can be output as a hard copy.

The CAD system 2, the search unit 4, the input unit 5, the designation unit 6, and the display unit 9 are provided as an individual terminal (individual computer, which will be described later) 11, which is one unit. A plurality of individual terminals 11 are provided. The shared file 12 is shared by a plurality of individual terminals 11. The shared file 12 includes a data file 13 as a library and a classification file 14.

The data file 13 is an all data file containing all data as a set of all the concurrently written data stored in the classification directory as one file with the minimum unit of combined data. The file name of the minimum unit file corresponds to one piece of combined data.

The classification file 14 has a hierarchical classification structure. The classification concept is a large classification, a middle classification, and a small classification. The number of classification hierarchies is arbitrary. The contents of the large classification are displayed on the display unit attached to the search unit 15 of the search unit 4 by an operation from the input / designation unit 3. The display unit 15 attached to the search unit can be shared by the display unit 9.

As shown in FIG. 2, the large classification is each set composed of each intermediate classification concept. Each set is, for example, "sheet metal", "label", "finishing", "tolerance", "inspection / mounting", "casting", "cutting", "printing", "assembly", "WG". , "Painting", "Plastic mold", "Revision article", "Table", "PW
D "," adjustment "," engraving / stamping "," press-in work "," article name "," other "Fig. 3 shows the middle classification concept of" finish processing "of the large classification concept. Then, they are "plating", "painting", and "common".

When a file name or a keyword is input from the keyboard to the concept of the intermediate classification of “plating” and “painting”, or when the display position of “plating” and “painting” on the screen of FIG. The three data 7 as the concept of the small classification are displayed on the display unit 15 of the search unit 4 as shown in FIG. Each of the plural / combined data 7 is a Japanese-English combined statement (section).

The combined data 7, which is a unit element of the small classification according to such classification, is specified by the classification from the classification file of the classification file 14, and is searched from the data file 13 by the search unit 4 based on the classification. Is determined,
It is displayed on the display unit 15 of the search unit 4. The search unit 4 of the individual terminal 11 further includes an error display unit 18. The error display unit 18 can display an error message when a special character is included in a keyword input from the input / designation unit 3.

By inputting / designating the input / designating unit 3, three types of data to be written together can be designated. FIG. 5 shows a flow of the input / designation. The first specification is a specification by directly inputting the file name, for example, when there is frequently used combined data and a file name corresponding to the combined data is already known. If the corresponding file name exists, the attribute / position for pasting to the CAD drawing is designated from the menu (step S * 1).
For this menu designation, the menu designation function of CAD can be used as it is.

The second designation is a designation for inputting a character which can be a keyword from the input / designation unit 3 to the search unit 4 as shown in step S * 2. If the input character corresponds to at least one of a plurality of files, all the combined data including the keyword is displayed in a list on the display unit 15. Select the data to be used from among them, and specify the attribute / position described later from the menu.

The third specification is a specification for specifying which classification of the combined data to be used, as shown in steps S * 5 and S * 6. The data list of the specified classification is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user selects the data to be used from the list (step S * 7), and specifies the attribute / position from the menu.

In such three types of input / designation operations, the jointly written data, each of which is stored as a single file in the classification directory, is described as the jointly written entire file portion shown in FIG. Is a data file 13. The definition file for determining which classification each data item belongs to is the classification information file 14 described above.
It is. Contents of input / designation and two storage parts 13, 1
4 is determined and operated as one command of the CAD system, and the drawing is output after generation.

The details of such designated steps are search, determination, and attribute assignment, and are as follows. S * 1: The file name of the data file stored in the data library 13 is input from the keyboard. S * 2: Wait for keyword input S * 3: Input character string to be a keyword from keyboard. A list of the combined data including the input character string is displayed (FIG. 4).

S * 4: Alternatively, a large classification list (FIG. 2) is displayed. S * 5: Classification is specified from the large classification list (FIG. 2). If there is a lower class in the specified class, a list of middle classes (FIG. 3) is displayed. If not, a list of combined data narrowed down by the specified class (FIG. 4) is displayed.

S * 6: Classification is specified from the middle classification list (FIG. 3). A combined data list (FIG. 4) narrowed down by the specified classification is displayed. S * 7: A comment is specified from the data list (FIG. 4). When there are a plurality of pages, FWD (next page display) and BWD (previous page) can be selected. (S * 8): The character size, the vertical / horizontal (H / V) of the character line, and the type of the end point shape are input as the attribute information of the generated combined data. S * 9: Indicate the position where the additional data is generated. S * 10: Indicates the element for which data is to be written. S * 11: Indicates the generation position of the combined data.

(S * 12) Input the pull-out angle of the additional data. * 13 Obtain the inclination of the line in the designated symbol as the extraction angle. (* 14) Input the drawing direction of the character line. When the character line is horizontal: R = right L = left. When the character line is vertical: R = up and L = down.

Restrictions: Special characters ("# &
), Or when a plurality of character strings are input, an error is determined and an error message is displayed on the error display unit 18. The generated parallel writing data sentence can be edited line by line. The maximum number of large and medium categories is 24. It is assumed that the number of combined sentences that can be created under one category is 50. Note that the steps of the above-described step numbers with parentheses are used only when a line (character line) is input into the data sentence.

The system for simultaneously writing plural languages according to the present invention comprises:
A network can be used on the AD system for shared use. The Japanese-English library 13 requires addition, deletion, modification, and the like. If each CAD terminal has a Japanese-English bilingual library, it is difficult to perform maintenance, for example, there may be a loss of uniformity of the multi-language. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, only one specific CAD terminal is used as the CAD system Japanese / English combined server 21 and the other CAD terminals are used as the clients 11-1 to 11-n for sharing the Japanese / English combined library 13 of the server. Can be positioned.

In this case, since the bilingual library 13 and the menu file (not shown) are created on UNIX, the other CAD system bilingual server 22
(Step S * in FIG. 6)
21) In the same manner, it is possible to use in a menu format. For example, a menu creation function on CAD is used, and customization is performed for selecting a menu display for both Japanese and English.

Further, the user application program function is accessed from the C language S / W, the contents of the bilingual library file are fetched, and pasted on the CAD. In addition, automatic conversion is possible by creating an assignment table for adjusting character restrictions. The automatic conversion is performed by the Japanese / English parallel writing program A / P / UNIX shell of the CAD system Japanese / English parallel writing server 21, the Japanese / English parallel writing menu file, and the Japanese / English parallel writing program A / P ・
These are conversions of the UNIX shell and Japanese / English menu files.

As described above, the search unit 2, the designation unit 5, and the display unit 15 are provided as one unit unit, and a plurality of unit units are included in each of the plurality of computers 11-1 to 11-n. 13 and classification file 14
Can be shared by a plurality of computers 11-1 to 11-n. Further, it is preferable that a change unit (not shown) for changing the combined data of the data file is provided.
The change unit is preferably included in all of the plurality of computers 11-1 to 11-n or in a specific computer 11-s among the plurality of computers 11-1 to 11-n. The change by the change unit is for multiple computers 1
It is particularly preferable to be performed based on the agreement of 1-1 to 11-n.

[0034]

According to the present invention, a multi-language parallel writing system is provided.
It has the following effects. The first effect is a reduction in man-hours for inputting both Japanese and English sentences. When inputting both Japanese and English manuals (manually), according to the data on hand, surveying materials for English translation and inputting 0.5-1H per English translation
Was required, but by using this system, the time was reduced to several minutes.

The second effect is the improvement of the drawing quality by using Japanese and English libraries. With the development of the Japanese-English library, Japanese-English sentences input to drawings are standardized, English translation errors and expression methods are unified, and drawing quality is greatly improved.

The third effect is a reduction in maintenance man-hours. By sharing (converting) not only one CAD system but also other systems,
Eliminating the need for double production makes it possible to reduce man-hours.
