Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document input / editing apparatus for inputting and editing characters and creating a document, and a computer-readable recording medium storing a document input / editing program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a means for creating a document by inputting and editing characters, there is a document input / editing device such as a Japanese word processor or a personal computer which executes Japanese word processor software. These document input / editing apparatuses have a character modification function for modifying a character string such as an overline, an underline, hatching, and surrounding rules. With this character modification function, the amount of space from the character string to be modified to the character modification can be adjusted by setting the character modification format.

For example, in an enclosing rule 31 as a character modification shown in FIG.
The free space with 1 is set at 10 points on each side. Therefore, the left vertical line of the encircling rule 31 is displayed at a position sandwiching a space of 10 points to the left of the first character “A” of the character string 32 to be modified, and 1 character is displayed to the right of the last character “U”.
A right vertical line of the surrounding ruler 31 is displayed at a position sandwiching the empty space of 0 points. As described above, in the conventional character modification format setting, the character modification is relatively associated only with the character string 32 to be modified, and is irrelevant to the upper, lower, left and right character strings adjacent thereto.

[0004] Therefore, by applying character modification, no change is given to the position (coordinates) of the character string 32 to be modified and characters adjacent to the character string 32 to be modified vertically and horizontally. That is, as shown in FIG. 7B, even if the characters “A” and “B” exist before and after the character string “
By applying the character modification to the character string to be modified “Ai”, the positions of the character string to be modified “Ai” and the characters “A” and “B” do not change.

[0005]

Therefore, depending on the character modification format setting, a line such as the enclosing rule 31 may be displayed overlapping with the character adjacent to the character string 32 to be modified.
In the example shown in FIG. 7B, the modified character string “Ai” of the enclosing rule 31 corresponds to one point of the free space between the character string “Ai” to be modified and the characters “A” and “B” before and after it. Are set to 10 points.

When the character modification and the character overlap as described above, the operator of the document input / editing apparatus needs to adjust the character modification so that the upper, lower, left and right characters do not overlap. However, in this adjustment work, it is necessary to perform a very troublesome operation such as adjusting the free space of the overlapping portion in the character format setting or inserting a space in the overlapping position each time.

Accordingly, in the present invention, a document input / editing apparatus and a computer readable recording of a document input / editing program which eliminate the need for a troublesome operation such as inserting a space or the like to perform position adjustment when setting character modification. It is intended to provide a simple recording medium.

[0008]

According to the document input / editing apparatus of the present invention, a character modification object is assigned based on modification format information such as a free space between a character modification object and a character string to which the character modification object is applied. A part of the character string is arranged in the character string based on character format information such as the space between adjacent characters.

[0009] This makes it possible to arrange a part of the character string to which the character modification object has been applied so that adjacent characters in the character string do not overlap with the character modification object based on the character format information. When setting the decoration, a troublesome operation such as inserting a space or the like to adjust the position is not required.

It functions as a typesetting unit 15, a display data storage unit 19 for storing display data resulting from the typesetting in the RAM 3, and a display unit 20 for displaying the display data stored by the display data storage unit 19.

The editing unit 8 sets a character modification setting unit 9 for setting character modification objects such as an enclosing rule to be applied to text, and modification format information (a free space with the text to be modified, etc.) relating to the character modification objects. And a modification format setting unit 10 for performing the setting.

A character modification arrangement unit 17 for calculating the coordinates of the modification object, and a distance between the character modification object and the text adjacent to the character modification object is calculated from the coordinates calculated by the character composition unit 16 and the coordinates calculated by the character modification arrangement unit 17. And a difference calculating unit 18 that performs the calculation.

Next, a specific process performed by the document input / edit device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3A shows a state before the modification processing of the document editing processing according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3B shows a state after the modification processing of the document editing processing according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 4A and 4B are explanatory diagrams showing storage states of text and character-modified objects in the storage device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

In the document input / editing apparatus according to the present embodiment, an operator operates a keyboard 4 and a mouse 5 to set a text, a format, and the like. When the operator inputs text or the like, the editing unit 8 stores the text data input by the text storage unit 11 in the RAM 3. The set character size, character spacing, character feed amount, and the like are stored in the RAM 3 by the character format storage unit 12.

FIG. 3 (a) shows the result of the typesetting of the text "A / B" when the character format information is set to a character size of 10 points, a character interval of 0 points, and no character modification. The typesetting unit 15 sets the position of the leading (left-most) character “A” and performs the typesetting processing of the next (rightward) character “A”. The character typesetting unit 16 calculates the coordinates of the character “A” based on the character format information described above. Specifically, the coordinates (0, 0) of the previous character “A” and the character size 10
X based on the point, character spacing 0 point, and no character modification (character modification correction offset 0)
The coordinates are calculated as 10 (points).

By operating the keyboard 4 and the mouse 5, the operator can apply a character modification object to a part of the text. FIG.
FIG. 9A shows a typesetting result in a case where an enclosing rule 21 as a character modification object is applied to a part of the text “Aoi”. The character modification object set by the character modification setting unit 9 is stored in the RAM 3 by the character modification storage unit 13.
Is stored in On the other hand, the modified format information set by the modified format information setting unit 10
It is stored in M3.

In the document input / editing apparatus having the above-described structure, when values such as the character size, character spacing, and line spacing are changed by the editing unit 8, the changed results are stored in the RAM 3 by the character format storage unit 12. On the other hand, when the free space between the character decoration object and the text to be modified is changed, the changed result is stored in the RAM 3 by the modification format storage unit 14. If the text or its format, or the character-modifying object or its format, is updated and needs to be redisplayed,
The text and format information are passed from the editing unit 8 to the typesetting unit 15.

The typesetting unit 15 calculates the coordinates of each character to be displayed in order from the beginning of the text by the character typesetting unit 16 for each character based on character format information such as character size, character spacing and character feed amount, and stores display data. The data is converted into a data format that can be output to the CRT 6 by the unit 19 and stored in the RAM 3. When the typesetting unit 15 determines that the code indicated by the text is a character modification code, the character modification arrangement unit 17
Calculates the coordinates of the character decoration object. After that, the difference calculator 18 calculates the amount by which the text to be modified and the characters following it are shifted. The value obtained by the difference calculating unit 18 is sent to the character typesetting unit 16, and the coordinates of the text to be modified and the characters following it are changed.

Character typesetting section 16 and character modification arrangement section 17
Are determined by the display data storage unit 19 as CR.
The data is converted into a data format that can be output to T6, stored in the RAM 3, and managed. When the coordinates of all the characters constituting the text and the character-modified objects are determined and the display data is created, the typesetting unit 15 issues a display command to the display data storage unit 19. The display data storage unit 19 sends the managed display data to the display unit 20 and displays it on the CRT 6.

In the example shown in FIG. 3B, the text "A" or "B" and the character modification object (surrounding rule) input by the operator are stored in the RAM 3 as a text string in the format shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3A, in the case where there is no character modification, only two-byte character codes are stored in the RAM 3 by the text storage unit 11, but as shown in FIG. When the character-modified object is applied, a 2-byte modified function code is stored immediately after the character code constituting the text to be modified. Specifically, immediately after the character code "0x82A0" indicating the character "A" to be subjected to the enclosing rule 21, the enclosing rule function "0x1C38" is stored, and thereafter, the character code "0x82A2" indicating the character "I" is stored side by side. Is done. Although not shown, the free space between the text to be modified as the modification format information and the enclosing rule 21 is set to 10 points in all of the upper, lower, left and right directions.

The text format in which the character code and the modification function code are mixed as described above is processed by the formatting unit 15 with reference to each code. In the example shown in FIG. 3B, the RAM 3 stores a character code indicating the character "A", a code indicating the character "A", and a character "A" as shown in FIG.
Is stored in the form of a text string in which character-modifying objects representing character-modifying objects to be applied are sequentially arranged.

The character typesetting unit 16 performs typesetting on the character code portion of the text string, and calculates respective character coordinates based on character format information (character size 10 points, character spacing 0 points). For example, display data is created in which the coordinates of the first character "A" are set to (0, 0) and the coordinates of the subsequent character "A" are (10, 0). When the coordinates for the characters indicated by all the character codes are obtained, the character modification arranging unit 17 searches the modification function code from the beginning of the character string again, and arranges the character modification. In the example shown in FIG. 3B, since the first enclosing rule function code appears after the character code indicating the character "A", the character modification arrangement unit 17 sets the upper left coordinates of the enclosing rule 21 to the coordinates of the character "A". Set to the same coordinates as (10, 0). Then, the typesetting unit 15 instructs the difference calculation unit 18 to obtain a value (difference) for adjusting the interval between the character “A” and the character “A”. In FIG. 3B, since the amount of free space at the top, bottom, left, and right of the enclosing rule 21 is 10 points, the coordinates of the character "A" are moved 10 points to the right and 10 points down, and
0,10). A difference value (10, 10) between the coordinates (20, 10) and the coordinates (10, 0) of the character “a” obtained by the character typesetting unit 16 is obtained by a difference calculation unit 18.

When the difference value is obtained by the difference calculating unit 18, the typesetting unit 15 updates the coordinates of the character "A" from the display data stored in the display data storage unit 19 by the character typesetting unit 16. The display data of the character “A” is searched, and the coordinates (20,
Update to 10). At this time, the coordinates of the character “A” are updated to the coordinates (0, 10) together with the Y coordinate of the character “A”. The difference value (10, 10) obtained here is
Since it is necessary to update the coordinates of the characters subsequent to the character “A”, it is stored in the RAM 3.

Next, the character modification arranging section 17 outputs the character "i"
The modified function code immediately after the character code indicating is detected. Since this modification function code is the same code as the character “A”, the character modification arrangement unit 17
Determines that the difference is not updated by the modified function code. In other words, the character "A"
The difference value (10, 10) stored in M3 is taken over. The coordinates of the character "i" are changed from coordinates (20, 0) to coordinates (30, 10) according to the difference value (10, 10). In the case of the character "U", the coordinates are updated similarly to the character "I", and the coordinates (30,
0) to coordinates (40, 10).

When the character modification arrangement section 17 detects that there is no modification function code following the character "B", the difference calculation section 18 adds a value obtained by adding 10 points of free space by the right line of the enclosing rule 21, that is, the difference value The value is updated from (10, 10) to the difference value (20, 10) and stored in the RAM 3. According to the new difference value (20, 10), the coordinates of the character “B” are changed from (40, 0) to (60, 10).

As described above, the character string to be modified "Ai", which is provided with the enclosing rule 21 based on the modified format information (the amount of free space at the top, bottom, left and right is 10 points), is converted into the character format information (character size 10 points, character By arranging it between “A” and “B” based on an interval of 0 point),
It is possible to arrange the character string to be modified “Aoi” to which 1 is applied so as not to overlap with the adjacent characters “A” and “B”, and when character modification such as the enclosing rule 21 is set,
The troublesome operation of adjusting the position by inserting a space or the like becomes unnecessary.

Next, the flow of the document input / edit processing by the document input / edit apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 which shows the document input / edit processing by the document input / edit apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. explain.

When recomposition is necessary due to updating or changing the format of the text, the editing unit 8 takes out the text, character format information, document modification object, and modification format information from the RAM 3 and passes them to the composition unit 15. The typesetting unit 15 sets a memory address where the first character of the text string shown in FIG. 4 is stored as a first processing position.

In step S11, if the memory address at the processing position is not the last memory address for storing the text string, the process proceeds to step S12. In step S12, if the code stored in the memory address at the processing position is a decoration object code, the process proceeds to step S15. On the other hand, in the case of a character code in step S12, the coordinates of the character are calculated by the character typesetting unit 16 in step S13.
, Display data is created by the typesetting unit 15. When display data is created for the character code at the processing position in steps S12 to S14, in order to process the character code following the character code at the processing position, the memory address value indicating the processing position is set to 2 in step S15. Add byte. By adding 2 bytes, a memory address where the next character code is stored is obtained.
The process returns to step 11.

In step S11, when the memory address of the processing position matches the last memory address for storing the text string, it is determined that the display data for all the codes has been created, and the typesetting unit 15 stores the first character of the text string again. Is set as the first processing position, and the difference data information for performing the coordinate update by the character modification is in the “no difference” state, that is, the difference value (0,
0), and the process proceeds to the typesetting processing of the character decoration object in step S16.

If it is determined in step S16 that the memory address of the processing position is not the last memory address for storing the text string, the process proceeds to step S17. If the code stored at the memory address of the processing position is the decoration object code in step S17,
In step S18, the difference calculation unit 18 updates the difference value. In other words, in the example of FIG. 3B, the difference value (0, 0) before the appearance of this modified function code is determined by the upper and left margins of the enclosing rule 21 by the enclosing rule function code next to the character “A”. The updated value (10, 10) is updated.

In step S19, the character modification arrangement unit 17 calculates the coordinates of the enclosing rule 21 from the coordinates of the text to be modified, and the typesetting unit 15 creates display data. In step S17, if the code stored in the memory address at the processing position is not a decoration object code but a character code, the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, the previous step S11
From the display data storage unit 19
Is searched for display data corresponding to the character code at the processing position from among the display data stored in the display data, and the drawing coordinates recorded in the searched display data are updated. Here, updating the drawing coordinates means adding the difference data information to the coordinate data recorded in the searched display data.

In the example of FIG. 3B, if the character code stored in the memory address of the processing position indicates the character "i", the difference data information at this point is (1).
0,10). The coordinates of the character "i" are (20,
0), the drawing coordinates are updated to (30, 10) in step S20. The updated information is stored in the RAM 3 by the display data storage unit 19 again.

When the display data of the character-modified object is created in step S19 or the coordinates recorded in the character display data are updated in step S21, the processing position is set to the position of the next character in step S22. , The memory address value indicating the processing position is added by 2 bytes, and the process proceeds to step S16.

In step S16, if the memory address at the processing position matches the last memory address for storing the text string, it is determined that display data for all codes has been created, and the flow advances to step S23. Step S
At 23, the typesetting unit 15 issues a display data drawing instruction to the display data storage unit 19. The display data storage unit 19 stores the RA
The display data stored in M3 is passed to the display unit 20, and the display unit 20 displays the data on the CRT 6.

FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a state before modification processing of the handwriting-type input editing processing according to the embodiment of the present invention.
(B) is a figure which shows the state after the modification processing of the handwriting-type input edit processing in embodiment of this invention.

FIG. 6 (a) shows the input and editing of a pen expression by the document input / editing apparatus according to the present embodiment.
Partition rule 2 as a character modification object shown in (b)
This shows a state before performing steps 2 and 23. FIG.
In the example shown in (a), the character size is set to 10 points and the line interval is set to "100% of the character size" as character format information, so the line intervals are separated by 10 points.

As the modification format information of the partition rule 22 shown in FIG. 6B, “upper empty amount 50%” and “lower empty amount 50%” are set. Since the interval between the lines is 10 points as shown in FIG.
The partition rule 22 is arranged at a position 50% (= 5 points) apart from the point, and the partition rule 22 is located further below the partition rule 22 by 10%.
The character string “123” on the lower line is arranged at a position 50% (= 5 points) apart from the point. That is, in the case of the partition rule 22, the sum of the upper empty space and the lower empty space is 100%, so that the space between the upper and lower character strings sandwiching the partition rule 22 does not change.

On the other hand, with respect to the partition rule 23, "upper empty amount 100%" and "lower empty amount 100%" are set.
Therefore, 10 points of 100
The partition rule 23 is arranged at a position separated by% (= 10 points), and the character string “1353” in the lower row is disposed at a position further separated by 10 points from the partition rule 23.

That is, the positions of the upper and lower character strings sandwiching the dividers 22 and 23 are automatically adjusted, and the positions of the dividers 22 and 23 are automatically adjusted.
23 does not overlap the upper and lower character strings sandwiching it.
Adjustment of the arrangement of the upper and lower character strings and the partition rules 22 and 23 can be easily performed by resetting the character format information and the modification format information.
