Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

First, the macro operation will be described.

When a character is input, whether or not the character is to be distinguished is determined by the distinction mode selection determination 21 in FIG.

Since the distinction mode is valid, the process proceeds to the numeral distinction selection judgment 22. If the input character is a numeral and the character set in the distinctive character content 42 of FIG. 4, the process proceeds to the distinction process 23. If there is, the process proceeds to the alphabet distinction selection determination 24.

The input character is alphabetic and the distinctive character content 4 in FIG.
If the character is the character set in 2, the process proceeds to a distinction process 23;

If the input character is a special character and the character set in the distinctive character content 42 in FIG.
If it is not a special character, that is, if it is a kanji or the like, the character distinction selection enable / disable processing ends.

The discrimination process 23 shown in FIG. 3 includes discrimination (font change, display character color change,
(Kana addition, highlighting).

In the font type change determination 30, it is determined whether or not the font change is valid. If the font type change is valid, the font type change process 31 is executed. Transition.

In the display character color change selection determination 32, it is determined whether or not the display character color change is valid. If the display character color change is valid, the display character color change process 33 is executed. The processing shifts to the determination 34.

In the feed kana / kana addition determination 34, it is determined whether or not the feed kana / kana addition is valid. If it is valid, the feed kana / kana addition processing 35 is executed. The processing shifts to the determination 36.

In the highlighting selection determination step 36, it is determined whether or not highlighting is valid.
An italic display process 37 is executed, and if invalid, the discrimination process ends.

The above-described series of processing is performed by the user of the information processing apparatus inputting a character from the keyboard 84, and the character information is stored in the main memory 81 as the selection information shown in FIGS. The CPU 80 performs the determination / change processing using the processing program of FIG.

The result is written in the display memory 822 via the display controller 82. The display control unit 82 reads data (including the processing data) stored in the display memory 822, processes the data so that it can be displayed on the display unit 821, and displays the processed data.

Since a sentence or the like having a large number of input characters may not be stored in the main memory 81 at all, a part of the document may be stored in the FDD or HDD of the file unit 83.

Next, a case will be described in which the type of characters for which the distinction mode is valid / distinguished is only numbers and alphabets, and the display method for distinguishing is only font change.

That is, the discrimination mode selection 10 in FIG.
S (valid), the distinguishing character type selection 12 is for numbers and letters, and the distinguishing display method selection 13 is for font change only.

The discriminating character content 42 shown in FIG.
No special characters are changed between "1" and the alphabetic characters "O" and "I".

The font type selection 43 displays numbers as “normal fonts” and alphabets as “gothic fonts”.

The character color is "black", the feed kana / kana is "none", and the highlighting is "none".

Normally, the distinction mode selection 11 is "none", the font type is "normal", the character color is "black", the feed kana / kana addition is "none", and the highlighted display is "none".

Next, specific processing will be described.

In the case of creating the document shown in FIG. 11, the first "black star" mark performs the processing after the distinction mode selection determination 21 because the distinction mode selection 10 is valid. Since the character type to be processed is selected only for numbers and alphabetic characters, it is possible to select and distinguish numbers 2
2. In the alphabet distinction selection determination 24 and the special character distinction selection determination 25, it is determined that no distinction is made, and the character distinction selection enabling / disabling process ends.

Similarly, no distinction is made from "Notice of Alumni Association Holding (black star)" to "...".

Next, when the numeral "1" of "10 times..." Is inputted, the numeral distinction selection determination 22 determines whether or not the numeral is a numeral and whether it matches the distinctive character content 42 of FIG. I do.

In this case, since they match, the discrimination processing 2
Execute 3.

In the discrimination process 23, the discrimination display method selection 13
Is set to YES (valid), and the font is displayed in the normal font which is the setting content of the numeral of the font type selection 43 in FIG.

Next, if the numeral "1" should be originally input to 110, but the alphabetic character "I" is input by mistake,
Since the distinction mode is effective, the processing shifts from the distinction mode selection determination 21 to the numeral distinction selection determination 22.

However, since the input character is an alphabet, the processing shifts to alphabet distinction selection determination 24.

In the alphabet distinction selection determination 24, since the input character is an alphabet and "I" is set in the distinction character content 42, the distinction processing 23 is executed.

The contents are shown in the font type selection 43 in FIG.
Select and display the Gothic font set in.

Thereafter, the processing shifts to character color change selection discrimination 32.

Then, it is determined whether the character color can be changed or not.
Is not executed, and processing is performed.
Move to 4.

In the feed kana / kana addition determination process 34, "none" is set in the feed kana / kana addition presence / absence change 45, and the feed kana / kana addition process 35 is not executed. No addition is made.

Thereafter, the processing shifts to the highlight display selection judgment 36.

In the highlighting selection discrimination 36, "none" is set in the highlighting presence / absence selection 46 in FIG. 4, and the bold / italic display is not performed since the highlighting process 37 is not executed.

As described above, "1" is originally used as in 110.
If you enter "(ichi)" and input "I" (eye) by mistake, the wrong "I" (eye) font is displayed in Gothic and can be distinguished from normal fonts, so the error is immediately identified can do.

Similarly, “0” of 111, 112, 113
Even if (zero) is erroneously entered as “O” (O),
Similarly to the case of "1" of 11, the wrong "O" (O) font is displayed in Gothic and can be distinguished from the normal font, so that the error can be immediately identified.

Also, if “Yes” is set in the feed kana / kana addition presence / absence selection 45 in FIG. 5 and the feed kana / kana is added as shown in FIG. 12, the highlighting presence / absence selection 46 in FIG. The same effect can be obtained by setting "Yes" and adding a feed kana / kana as shown in FIG.

Although not shown or described, FIG.
Even if the character color is changed for each character type by the display character color selection 44, the same effect can be obtained for special characters.

As described above, in the information processing apparatus according to the present invention, a character selecting means for selecting whether or not to distinguish an input character from other characters, and a character type selecting means for selecting a type of a character to be distinguished. Means, and a display method selecting means for selecting a display method for displaying a character to be distinguished differently from other characters. Displays the characters entered in the display method.

As a result, characters that are easily misidentified can be displayed differently, and there is an effect that errors can be easily found and proofreading work efficiency can be improved.
