Hereinafter, each part is explained in full detail.

  The display device 1080 displays the data column constituting the electronic document in the corresponding display column as described above. The input display device 201 displays a handwriting input area 203 and a key selection area 204, and displays manually input data.

  The electronic document DB 31 stores data constituting the electronic document for each data column having a different format and description method (for example, handwritten locus data, image data, character code, etc.) (see FIG. 5 described later). The input type correspondence DB 32 is a type of data field constituting the electronic document (for example, a data field for auxiliary information composed of handwritten trajectory data, a diagnostic data field including handwritten trajectory data and image data, and a prescription composed of character codes. Data column) and the input types (for example, handwriting input, character input, etc.) of the handwriting input area 203 and the key selection area 204 displayed on the input display device 201 are stored in association with each other (see FIG. 11 described later).

  The manual input unit 12 includes an input display device 201 that is different from the display device 1080 and an input tablet 202 that is disposed in front of the input display device 201 and has translucency. The input tablet 202 detects contact with the stylus pen 301 and outputs coordinate information indicating the position of the detected contact. The manual input unit 12 may be a touch panel in which a transparent touch pad is used for the input tablet 202 and a display device such as a liquid crystal display is integrally formed. The input tablet 202 may be a resistance pressure-sensitive method, a capacitance method, an electromagnetic induction method, or the like. The input tablet 202 and the display device 1080 may have different resolutions. The stylus pen 301 is preferably a dedicated pen suitable for each method, but in the case of the resistance pressure-sensitive method, a general pen, a pencil, or the like may be used. The data field accepting unit 121 accepts selection of data fields constituting the electronic document.

  The input area display unit 13 causes the manual input unit 12 to display a handwriting input area 203 that accepts handwritten input and a key selection area 204 that accepts key selection. Furthermore, the input area display unit 13 receives an input type corresponding to the type of the data field received and selected by the data field reception unit 121 that receives the selection of the data field constituting the electronic document by the input type correspondence DB 32. A handwriting input area 203 and a key selection area 204 are displayed. Then, the handwriting input display unit 131 displays in the handwriting input area 203 the locus handwritten by the stylus pen 301 via the input tablet 202 in the handwriting input area 203 displayed by the input area display unit 13. The key input display unit 132 displays a character associated with a key selected by touching the stylus pen 301 via the input tablet 202 among the keys in the key selection area 204 displayed by the input area display unit 13. And displayed in the handwriting input area 203. For example, the input area display unit 13 receives the coordinate information of the locus handwritten by the stylus pen 301 from the input tablet 202, and when the received coordinate information is in the handwriting input area 203, the input area display unit 13 enters the handwriting input area 203. 301 trajectories are displayed. The trajectory of the stylus pen 301 is created by continuing the display points of the input display device 201 corresponding to the received coordinate values with a curve (for example, a spline function). Further, for example, the input area display unit 13 receives coordinate information from the input tablet 202 that has detected contact with the stylus pen 301, and when the received coordinate information is within the key selection area 204, the input coordinate information is displayed. Corresponding characters (including symbols and numbers) are displayed at the current cursor position (for example, cursor 350) associated with the dot configuration constituting the current cell (for example, C112 in FIG. 3).

  The cell display configuration unit 11 divides the display device 1080 into display columns 311 to 316 associated with data columns constituting the electronic document, and a predetermined number of cells are arranged in a matrix for each of the divided display columns 311 to 316. And an image is displayed for each of the configured cells. For example, the cell display configuration unit 11 configures a matrix-like cell in accordance with the resolution of the display device 1080, and the locus handwritten on the input area display unit 13 is converted into the cell in accordance with the resolution of the display device 1080. Display. The predetermined number of cells is variable depending on a set value for the number of cells.

  The cell association unit 150 is a stylus pen displayed in the handwriting input area 203 with one cell among the plurality of cells for each of the display fields 311 to 316 configured by the cell display configuration unit 11 and the handwriting input area 203. The trajectory 301 or the character selected by the stylus pen 301 is associated so that it is displayed in the one cell. The display field association unit 151 includes the display fields 311 to 316 in which cells are configured by the cell display configuration unit 11 and the handwriting input area 203, or the locus of the stylus pen 301 displayed in the handwriting input area 203 or the stylus pen. Corresponding characters are selected so as to be displayed in the display columns 311 to 316. The cell association switching unit 152 switches between association by the cell association unit 150 and association by the display field association unit 151.

  The data display creation unit 17 displays the trajectory of the stylus pen 301 input in the handwriting input area 203 on the one cell in accordance with the resolution of the one cell associated by the cell association unit 150, and stroke data. The character selected by the stylus pen 301 is displayed in one cell associated by the cell association unit 150 and character data is created.

  The electronic document generation unit 171 writes the data created by the data display creation unit 17 in the data column of the electronic document corresponding to the display columns 311 to 316 configured by the one cell, and stores the data in the electronic document DB 31.

  The input range configuration unit 14 includes a normal input area 211 in which the locus of the stylus pen 301 can be input by hand on the manual input unit 12, and an extended input area 221 surrounded along the outer periphery of the normal input area 211. Configure. For example, the input range configuration unit 14 configures the handwriting input area 203 of the input display device 201 of the manual input unit 12 as shown in FIG. The size of the normal input area 211 and the width of the extended input area 221 are variable depending on setting values.

  The normal cell associating unit 15 is configured such that the locus of the stylus pen 301 input to the normal input area 211 is the normal input area 211 and one cell among the plurality of cells configured by the cell display configuration unit 11. Correspond as shown in the cell. For example, the normal cell associating unit 15 associates the trajectory of the stylus pen 301 input in the normal input area 211 so as to be displayed in the cell C704 as shown in FIG.

  The extended cell association unit 16 divides the extended input area 221 into predetermined sections, the positional relationship between one of the divided sections and the normal input area 211, and one corresponding to the normal input area 211. The one partition and the one cell in contact with each other are associated with each other such that the positional relationship between the cell in contact with the cell and the positional relationship between the one cell is the same. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the extended cell association unit 16 divides the extended input area 221 into predetermined sections 221-1 to 221-4 and sections 221-A to 221-D. Then, the extended cell association unit 16 includes, for example, the positional relationship between the partition 221-1 and the normal input area 211 (the partition 221) among the partitioned partitions 221-1 to 221-4 and partitions 221-A to 221-D. −1 is the upper relationship with respect to the normal input area 211) and the positional relationship with the cell C704 among the cells C603 to C805 that are in contact with the cell C704 associated with the normal input area 211 by the normal cell association unit 15 The cell C604 having the same positional relationship (the cell C604 is an upper relationship with respect to the cell C704) is associated with the partition 221-1.

  In the normal input area 211 and the extended input area 221, the data display creation unit 17 associates the trajectory of the stylus pen 301 input to the normal input area 211 in the handwriting input area 203 by the normal cell association unit 15. It is displayed in accordance with the resolution of one cell and stroke data is created. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the data display creation unit 17 displays the trajectory of the stylus pen 301 input to the normal input area 211 in accordance with the resolution of the cell C 704 associated by the normal cell association unit 15. And create stroke data. The data display creation unit 17 then detects the stylus in the extended input area 221 when the locus of the stylus pen 301 detected by the manual input unit 12 is continuously detected from the normal input area 211 to the extended input area 221. The locus of the stylus pen 301 handwritten from the normal input area 211 to the extended input area 221 is extended and displayed in the cell associated with the section where the pen 301 is stopped.

  Furthermore, the data display creation unit 17 includes an interruption time storage control unit 22 as interruption time storage control means, and a threshold optimization unit 23 as threshold optimization means. The interruption time storage control unit 22 stores the measured time in association with the stroke data every time the interruption time measurement unit 20 measures the time. The threshold optimization unit 23 calculates and optimizes the stroke threshold by statistical processing based on the time stored in association with the stroke data by the interruption time storage control unit 22. For example, the interruption time measuring unit 20 measures the time between the locus by the stylus pen 301 when handwritten (for example, the time for waiting for the next stroke for each stroke when inputting characters). Then, the interruption time storage control unit 22 stores the measured time in association with the stroke data (for example, refer to the stroke waiting time Ts in the stroke data in FIG. 13). Then, for example, the threshold value optimization unit 23 aggregates the time stored in association with the stroke data every time input of one cell is completed, and performs statistical processing. In the statistical processing, for example, an arithmetic average is performed except for a time longer than a certain value or a time less than a certain value, or a weighted average based on the length of stroke data is performed. The threshold optimization unit 23 further optimizes the calculated value (for example, a value smaller than the statistical value of the input waiting time Tg, twice the calculated value, etc.), and dynamically sets a stroke threshold that is regarded as the end of input. To decide.

  When the position of the stylus pen 301 detected by the manual input unit 12 is continuously detected from the normal input area 211 to the extended input area 221, the time measuring unit 18 stops in the same section of the extended input area 221. Measure the running time. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the time measurement unit 18 uses the extended input when the position of the stylus pen 301 detected by the manual input unit 12 is detected continuously from the normal input area 211 to the extended input area 221. The time stopped in the same section 221-1 in the area 221 is measured. When the time measured by the time measurement unit 18 is equal to or longer than a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds depending on the set value), the data display creation unit 17 stops the stylus pen 301 in the extended input area 221. The trajectory of the stylus pen 301 handwritten from the normal input area 211 to the extended input area 221 is extended and displayed in the cell C603 associated with the section 221-1 that is being displayed. Then, the data display creation unit 17 creates extended stroke data (see FIG. 13 described later) and stores it in the electronic document DB 31.

  The corresponding cell moving unit 19 moves the association from one cell associated by the normal cell associating unit 15 to a cell different from the one cell. For example, when the corresponding cell moving unit 19 detects the contact of the stylus pen 301 in the section of the extended input area 221 in the neutral state, the corresponding cell moving unit 19 moves the correspondence between the cell and the normal input area 211 according to the touched section. . The corresponding cell moving unit 19 corresponds to the normal input area 211 when the section where the contact is detected is the upper section 221-1, the right section 221-2, the lower section 221-3, or the left section 221-4. The attachment is moved upward, rightward, downward or leftward, respectively. Further, the corresponding cell moving unit 19 is configured so that the cell in which the contact is detected is the upper left corner section 221-A, the upper right corner section 221-B, the lower right corner section 221-C, or the lower left corner section 221-D. The association with the input area 211 is moved in the upper left direction, the upper right direction, the lower right direction, or the lower left direction, respectively. Here, the neutral state is a state where the stylus pen 301 is not in contact with the normal input area 211 and the extended input area 221. When the input end unit 21 instructs the end of the input, the association between the cell and the normal input area 211 is moved according to the section of the extended input area 221 detected by the input end unit 21. Here, the predetermined cell is, for example, an adjacent right cell in the case of movement in the right direction. For example, in the case of the right end cell, the predetermined cell is the left end cell of the next row.

  Further, the corresponding cell moving unit 19 stores the direction of movement from one cell associated by the normal cell associating unit 15 each time the association is moved to a predetermined cell different from the one cell. It memorize | stores in 2012. Then, when the time measured by the interruption time measuring unit 20 is equal to or greater than the stroke threshold, the corresponding cell moving unit 19 stores the memory cell 2012 from one cell associated by the normal cell associating unit 15. The association is moved to a predetermined cell in the same direction as the movement direction. For example, the corresponding cell moving unit 19 stores, in the memory 2012, the right direction moved each time the association is moved from one cell associated by the normal cell associating unit 15 to the cell adjacent to the right. Then, the corresponding cell moving unit 19 regards the input as the end when the time measured by the interruption time measuring unit 20 is equal to or greater than the stroke threshold, and stores the right direction stored in the memory 2012 (that is, the same as the previous direction). The correspondence is moved to the adjacent cell in the direction.

  When the position of the stylus pen 301 detected by the manual input unit 12 is not detected, the interruption time measuring unit 20 measures a time that is not detected. Depending on the time measured by the interruption time measuring unit 20, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 can measure the waiting time between strokes and the waiting time for input from one cell to the next cell. .

  The input end unit 21 instructs the end of input. For example, when the input ending unit 21 detects the contact of the stylus pen 301 in the section of the extended input area 221 while the interruption time measuring unit 20 is measuring, the corresponding cell moving unit 19 To instruct. When contact with the stylus pen 301 in a specific section of the extended input area 221 (for example, the lower right corner section 221-C of the extended input area 221) is detected, the end of input in the cell may be instructed. . The electronic document processing apparatus 10 is associated by the normal cell association unit 15 when the time measured by the interruption time measurement unit 20 is equal to or greater than the stroke threshold or when the input end unit 21 instructs the end of input. The association is moved from the one cell to a predetermined cell different from the one cell.

The input device 1100 is a device that performs input by an operator of the electronic document processing device 10, and includes a keyboard and a mouse. The input / output I / F device 2000 connects the electronic document processing device 10 to another device such as an auxiliary storage device.

  The input area display unit 13 displays the locus handwritten on the input tablet 202 of the manual input unit 12 by the stylus pen 301 on the input display device 201 of the manual input unit 12. The manual input unit 12 includes an input display device 201 and an input tablet 202 that is disposed in front of the input display device 201 and has translucency.

  The input display device 201 is configured by an LCD, an organic EL, or the like, and displays a locus input to the input tablet 202. The input tablet 202 is configured by a translucent tablet, a touch pad, or the like, detects contact of the stylus pen 301, and outputs coordinate information of the detected contact position.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a configuration of the manual input unit 12 in the electronic document processing apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The manual input unit 12 includes an input display device 201 and an input tablet 202 that is disposed in front of the input display device 201 and has translucency. The input display device 201 displays a handwriting input area 203 that accepts handwritten input, a key selection area 204 that accepts key selection, and keys 51, 53 to 63, and 66 to 70. The input tablet 202 outputs data indicating contact with the stylus pen 301 and coordinate information of trajectory data.

  Trajectory data handwritten in the handwriting input area 203 with the stylus pen 301 is displayed in the handwriting input area 203, displayed in the current cell (for example, C1104 in FIG. 1) associated with the handwriting input area 203, and displayed. Is written as data in the data column corresponding to the displayed columns 311 to 316 and stored in the electronic document DB 31.

  Further, the manual input unit 12 includes a page button 251 for performing page update in the display fields 311 to 316, a correspondence between one cell and the handwriting input area 203, and a correspondence between the display fields 311 to 316 and the handwriting input area 203. A cell correspondence switching button 252 for switching the display field, a display field button 253 for selecting the display fields 311 to 316, and a movement button 254 for moving the current cell may be provided. The input display device 201 displays only the handwriting input area 203 and accepts input (handwriting input pattern), displays only the key selection area 204 and accepts input (key input pattern), and the handwriting input area 203 and the key There is a case where the selection area 204 is displayed and an input is received (a combined input pattern) (see the input type correspondence DB 32 described later).

  The key selection area 204 includes a full key display area 51, a special key display area 52, and a main key display area 65. In the full key display area 51, two key rows arranged vertically are displayed. In the upper key row, 13 keys for individually inputting alphabets A to M (or a to m) are arranged in a straight line in the horizontal direction of the screen. In the lower key row, 13 keys for individually inputting alphabets N to Z (or n to z) are arranged in a straight line in the horizontal direction of the screen. By using these 26 keys, it is possible to input all alphabets A to Z. However, the 26 keys arranged in the upper and lower two rows as shown in the figure are operated with the stylus pen 301. Therefore, it is necessary to move the wrist of the hand holding the stylus pen 301. For this reason, when inputting various characters by tapping each key in the full key display area 51 with the stylus pen 301, it is impossible to perform an accurate tap unless the operation speed is slowed to some extent. Will cause.

  In the main key display area 65, three key rows of a vowel key row 66, a first non-vowel key row 67, and a second non-vowel key row 68 and two circular small keys are displayed. . Each of the vowel key row 66, the first non-vowel key row 67, and the second non-vowel key row 68 has a shape in which a plurality of keys are arranged in a bow shape, and are arranged concentrically with each other. Specifically, the vowel key row 66 is located on the innermost circular orbit among the three concentric circular orbits. The first non-vowel key row 67 is located on the middle circular orbit. The second non-vowel key row 68 is located on the outermost circular orbit. The vowel key row 66, the first non-vowel key row 67, and the second non-vowel key row 68 have the same number of keys. As for the number of keys in each key row, it is possible to select any of 5, 6, or 7. This selection is performed by tapping a menu key 63 to be described later to display a menu dialog box (not shown). FIG. 8 shows a key arrangement when the number of keys in each key column is set to five. Since there are five keys in each of the three key rows, the main key display area 65 as a whole displays 15 keys. When the number of keys in each key column is set to six, a total of 18 keys are set in the main key display area 65, and when the number of keys in each key column is set to seven, a total of 21 keys are displayed in the main key display area 65. Is displayed. However, the size of the main key display area 65 is constant regardless of the number of keys. For this reason, when the number of keys in each key column is set to 6 or 7, each key is displayed smaller than the state shown in the figure. Since the size of each key is reduced, the operability is slightly deteriorated. Hereinafter, the case where the number of keys in each key column is set to five as illustrated will be described as an example.

  The key selection area 204 shown in FIG. 8 is a right-hand specification display. When the right hand is moved with the stylus pen 301 in the same manner as a pencil, the tip of the stylus pen 301 moves so as to point to the area from approximately 9:00 to 12:00 of the watch. For this reason, in the case of right-hand display, the vowel key row 66, the first non-vowel key row 67, and the second non-vowel key row 68 each have a bow shape that generally connects the region from 9:00 to 12:00. Is displayed. In a standard adult hand, the pen tip can be moved among these three key rows with only the movement of the finger with little movement of the wrist. For this reason, when only the keys of these three key sequences are tapped, it is possible to perform very fast typing. However, in order to move the pen tip into the above-described full key display area 51 or to the special key display area 52 described later, it is necessary to move not only the finger movement but also the wrist. For this reason, when a key in the full key display area 51 or a key in the special key display area 52 is tapped, the input speed is temporarily reduced.

  The key selection area 204 can display a left-hand specification (not shown) in addition to the display of the right-hand specification shown in FIG. When the stylus pen 301 is held with the left hand in the same manner as a pencil and the finger of the left hand is moved, the pen tip of the stylus pen 301 moves so as to point to the region from approximately 12:00 to 3 o'clock of the watch. For this reason, in the case of the left-hand display, the vowel key row 66, the first non-vowel key row 67, and the second non-vowel key row 68 each have a bow shape that roughly connects the region from 12:00 to 3 o'clock. Is displayed. Switching between right-hand specification and left-hand specification display is performed by tapping a menu key 63 described later to display a menu dialog box (not shown). Hereinafter, the key selection area 204 will be described using the display of the right hand specification as an example.

  In FIG. 8 shown above, the vowel key string 66 along the innermost circular orbit in the three concentric circles is an alphabet (E) (or e), A (or a), or I (or i) representing alphabets. , U (or u), and O (or o) are individually provided (hereinafter, the alphabet is referred to as a vowel character). The positions of these five keys are unchanged. When the number of keys in each key row is set to six, in addition to the five keys described above, a key for inputting a punctuation point (,) is displayed in the vowel key row 66. Further, when the number of keys in each key row is set to seven, a key for inputting a reading (.) Is further displayed in the vowel key row 66.

  The first non-vowel key row 67 along the middle circular orbit of the three concentric circles includes five keys for inputting different non-vowel characters. Further, the second non-vowel key row 68 along the outermost circular orbit in the three concentric circles also includes five keys for inputting different non-vowel characters. The keys provided in the first non-vowel key string 67 and the keys provided in the second non-vowel key string 68 are for inputting different non-vowel character strings. Non-vowel characters are 21 alphabets, punctuation marks, punctuation marks, and other various symbols other than five vowel characters. The key selection area 204 displays, in the first non-vowel key row 67 and the second non-vowel key row 68, keys for inputting 21 alphabets, punctuation marks, or punctuation marks among those non-vowel characters. To do. In order to individually input 21 alphabets, punctuation marks, and punctuation marks, 23 keys are required. In the first non-vowel key row 67 and the second non-vowel key row 68, a total of 10 keys are required. Only the key is displayed. If the keys arranged outside the main key display area 65 are used as the remaining 13 keys, the typing speed must be lowered each time. Therefore, the key selection area 204 has the top ten most likely to be used among the 23 keys (in the case of displaying 6 in each column) according to the statistical result and the character input history of the operator. The key layout is appropriately updated so that the top 12 and the top 14 in the case of 7 columns are displayed in the first non-vowel key column 67 and the second non-vowel key column 68. This update will be described in detail later.

  The main key display area 65 includes two circular small keys in addition to the 15 keys included in the three key rows (66, 67, 68). These two small keys are both arranged at positions inside the circle with respect to the vowel key row 66. One of the two small keys is a small punctuation key 69 for inputting a punctuation point. The other is a reading key 70 for inputting a reading point.

  A special key display area 52 is arranged at the upper left of the main key display area 65. The special key display area 52 includes a first symbol mode key 53, a calculator mode key 54, an alphanumeric mode switching key 55, a second symbol mode key 56, a Delete key 57, an insert key 58, a backspace key 59, an Enter. Ten keys, a key 60, a Japanese-English mode switching key 61, a SHIFT key 62, and a menu key 63, are provided.

  The first symbol mode key 53 is for setting the input mode by the three key strings (66, 67, 68) in the main key display area 65 to the first symbol input mode. FIG. 8 shows the main key display area 65 when the Roman character input mode is set as the input mode. In this state, when the first symbol mode key 53 is tapped, the input mode by the main key display area 65 is switched to the first symbol input mode. Then, the key arrangement of the three key rows in the main key display area 65 is changed from that shown in FIG. With this change, in the main key display area 65, “<”, “>”, “[”, “]”, “@”, “(”, “)”, “{”, “}”, “?” ”,“% ”,“ $ ”,“ # ”,“ ˜ ”,“! ”Can be input. When this key is tapped again, the main key display area 65 returns to the previous alphabet display.

  The calculator mode key 54 shown in FIG. 8 is for setting the input mode by the three key strings in the main key display area 65 to the calculator input mode. When the calculator mode key 54 is tapped, the input mode by the main key display area 65 is switched to the calculator input mode. Then, the key arrangement of the three key rows in the main key display area 65 is changed from that shown in FIG. This change makes it possible to input symbols “+”, “−”, “*”, “/”, “=” and numbers 0 to 9 in the main key display area 65. When this key is tapped again, the main key display area 65 returns to the previous alphabet display.

  The alphanumeric mode switching key 55 previously shown in FIG. 8 is for switching the input mode by the three key strings in the main key display area 65 alternately between the Roman character input mode and the numeric input mode. In FIG. 8, when the Roman character input mode is set, a symbol “1” is drawn on the alphanumeric mode switching key 55 as shown. When the alphanumeric mode switching key 55 is tapped in this state, the input mode is switched from the Roman character input mode to the numeric input mode. Then, the symbol “1” previously drawn on the alphanumeric mode switching key 55 is changed to the symbol “A”. At the same time, the key arrangement of each key row in the main key display area 65 is changed. With this change, it is possible to input symbols “@”, “.”, “¥”, “/”, “#” and numbers 0 to 9 in the main key display area 65. In this state, when the alphanumeric mode switching key (55) is tapped, the input mode is switched from the numeric input mode to the Roman character input mode. The symbol “A” changes to the symbol “1”. At the same time, the key arrangement of each key column in the main key display area 65 is changed to that shown in FIG.

  The second symbol mode key 56 shown in FIG. 8 is for switching the input mode by the three key strings in the main key display area 65 to the second symbol input mode. When the second symbol mode key 56 is tapped, the input mode by the main key display area 65 is switched to the second symbol input mode. Then, the key arrangement of the three key rows in the main key display area 65 is changed from that shown in FIG. Thereby, in the main key display area 65, “,”, “.”, “:”, “;”, “?”, “!”, ““ ”,“ ′ ”,“ (”,“) ”. , “%”, “$”, “#”, “{”, “}” Can be input.

  In FIG. 8 described above, the Delete key 57, the insert key 58, and the Enter key 60 are the same as those of a general keyboard, and thus description of their roles is omitted. The menu key 63 is used to display the menu dialog box described above and perform menu operations. The SHIFT key 62 is used to alternately switch alphabet input between an uppercase input mode and a lowercase input mode. In the state shown in the figure, a capital letter input mode is set. In this case, alphabet input by various alphabet keys displayed in the full key display area 51 and the main key display area 65 is performed in capital letters. When the SHIFT key 62 is tapped in this state, the uppercase input mode is switched to the lowercase input mode. Then, the alphabet design drawn on the various alphabet keys displayed in the full key display area 51 and the main key display area 65 is changed from the upper case design to the lower case design. And the alphabet input by various alphabet keys is performed by a small letter.

  The Japanese-English mode switching key 61 is used to alternately switch between the Japanese input mode and the English input mode in the state where the above-described Roman character input mode is set. When the Japanese input mode is set, alphabets sequentially input in a combination of consonant + vowel or vowel + vowel are automatically converted into Japanese hiragana. The automatically converted hiragana is in a temporary input state. When the space key is tapped in this state, a conversion candidate dialog box (not shown) is displayed, and the hiragana is converted to kanji (or kanji + feed). To kana). If the converted kanji is not desired, the operator can display the next conversion candidate by further tapping the space key. When the desired kanji is displayed by repeatedly tapping the space key, the kanji can be confirmed and input by tapping any key and inputting the next character. In addition, it is possible to confirm and input a Chinese character by tapping the Enter key 60 instead of tapping the next character. In the English input mode, each time a key is tapped, the corresponding alphabet, symbol, space, etc. are sequentially entered.

  In the key selection area 204, all areas where various keys are not displayed are regarded as space keys. For example, an area between keys in the full key display area 51, an area between keys in the main key display area 65, and the like. By treating the area between keys as a space key in this way, the operator can enter a space by tapping any alphabet or symbol key and then slightly moving the pen tip from that position (English (In input mode), or conversion from hiragana to kanji (in Japanese input mode). Thereby, the typing speed can be increased.

  In the initial display of the key selection area 204, the same key layout as that at the previous end of the key selection area 204 is displayed. And when starting, the input reception process which specifies the key in which tap operation was performed based on the result which detected the tap position with respect to the touch panel 10 by a well-known technique, and receives the input of the character corresponding to the key carry out. In addition, based on the character input history by the operator, update processing for sequentially updating the key specifying database is performed. Specifically, the hard disk stores two databases, a Japanese input key specifying database and an English input key specifying database. In any of these databases, non-vowel characters that are predicted to be input next to various character strings consisting of two letters “any one of the 26 alphabets + vowel characters” are determined from those having a high probability. This is for specifying only the number (10, 12, or 14). For the alphabet, capital letters and small letters are not distinguished, and for example, A and a are treated as being the same. The vowel characters are A (or a), I (or i), U (or u), E (or e), O (or o), and therefore, for a character string of 26 × 5 = 130, The input record (one character) of the non-vowel character after each input is recorded. As non-vowel characters, 21 alphabets, five punctuation marks, and 23 punctuation characters excluding five vowel characters are set as search targets. Therefore, for each of the 130 character strings, the subsequent input record is recorded for 23 non-maternal characters. For example, for the character string “KA”, the subsequent input record is recorded for each of the 23 non-maternal characters. As the input record, the cumulative input count is adopted. In the update process, when “K” is input after “KA”, the cumulative input count of “K” associated with “KA” is increased by one in the key specifying database.

  As described above, two key specifying databases, one for Japanese input and one for English input, are stored in the hard disk. When the Japanese input mode is set, the former key identification database is updated by the update process, and when the English input mode is set, the latter key identification database is updated by the update process. This is because even if the character string is the same, non-vowel characters that are likely to be input subsequently differ between Japanese input and English input. In addition, although the example which employ | adopted what consists of 2 characters was demonstrated as a character string, you may make it identify the non-character string with a high possibility of being input subsequently from the character string of 3 or more characters.

  At the time of shipment from the factory, the initial input state is stored as a Japanese input key specification database and an English input key specification database. Those in the initial state are constructed based on the appearance frequency of various characters in sentences of Japanese newspapers and English newspapers. By storing the initial key specification database for Japanese input and the key specification database for English input in such an initial state, the character specification processing and key display update processing described later will be performed after the initial activation under the user. Can be executed.

  Further, the key processing in the key selection area 204 is to perform character identification processing and key display change processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing key processing in the key selection area in the electronic document processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the character specifying process, first, the process waits until one of the five vowel keys in the vowel key string 66 is tapped (Y in Step 1). Hereinafter, the step is referred to as “S”. When the vowel key is tapped, the value of the variable X is set to 10, 12, or 14 according to the number N of keys of the two non-vowel key strings in the main key display area (65) (S2 to S6). At this time, the value of the variable X is set to be the same as the number of keys of the two non-vowel key strings. Next, the top X most likely non-vowel characters that are predicted to be input following the character string that has been input by the previous two tap operations are specified based on the key specifying database. (S7). For example, when the character string “KI” is input by the two previous tap operations, the cumulative number of input times among the 23 non-vowel characters associated with “KI” in the key identification database Identify the top X with many. This is because the higher the cumulative number of inputs, the higher the possibility of the next input. If the Japanese input mode is set at this specific time, a Japanese input key specifying database is used. When the English input mode is set, an English input key specifying database is used.

  When the character specifying process is executed in this way, a key display change process is then executed (S8). In this key display changing process, the key arrangement in the first non-vowel key string 67 and the second non-vowel key string 68 in the main key display area 65 shown in FIG. It is changed according to the vowel character. This change is made based on an array change mode set by the operator through a previous menu operation. Specifically, in the key selection area 204, two arrangement change modes, a probability priority mode and a known arrangement priority mode, are prepared. The probability priority mode is a mode in which each key is arranged according to the rank of each input probability. Specifically, a position number is given to each key of the first non-vowel key row 67 and the second non-vowel key row 68 (not shown). In the probability priority mode, keys whose ranks of the next input probability are 1, 2, 3,..., 10th are arranged at the positions of position numbers 1, 2, 3,. Similarly, when the number of keys is 12 or 14, each key is arranged according to the rank of probability.

  On the other hand, the known arrangement priority mode is a mode that prioritizes the previous key arrangement and minimizes the change in arrangement. For example, assume that the ten keys shown in FIG. 8 are displayed in the first non-vowel key row 67 and the second non-vowel key row 68 before the vowel key is tapped. Then, as a result of executing the character specifying process based on the tapping of the vowel key, Y, S, M, H, K, W, N, D, T, and R are the top 1 to 10 non-vowels in that order. Suppose that it was specified as a character. When the display of each key is updated in the probability priority mode according to the order, all of the ten keys in the first non-vowel key row 67 and the second non-vowel key row 68 in FIG. 8 are at different positions. Will be displayed. However, in the known sequence priority mode, the key that has not been placed in the new top 10 out of the 10 keys that have been displayed so far is regarded as a new key while giving priority to the maintenance of the previous position. Replace. When 10 non-vowel characters of Y, S, M, H, K, W, N, D, T, and R are newly specified from the state shown in FIG. 8, all of them are specified. These correspond to the ten keys displayed in the first non-vowel key row 67 and the second non-vowel key row 68 so far. Therefore, the arrangement of the keys remains unchanged as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the ten newly specified non-vowel characters are Y, S, M, H, K, W, N, D, J, G, among them, J and G are A new one that has not been displayed in the non-vowel key string (67, 68) until then. Of the ten non-vowel keys shown in FIG. 8, the T key and the R key are unnecessary. Therefore, in this case, the two keys T and R are replaced with J and G, respectively. The other eight keys will remain in their previous positions.

  In the known arrangement priority mode, the color of the key is different between the key of the non-vowel character string whose input probability is the upper half and the key of the non-vowel character string which is the lower half. For example, it is assumed that the ranks of input probabilities of non-vowel characters specified in the previous character specifying process are Y, S, M, H, K, W, N, D, T, and R. Further, it is assumed that the ranks of input probabilities of non-vowel characters specified in the current character specifying process are S, H, W, K, M, D, Y, N, T, and R. In any case, the same ten non-vowel character strings are specified, but the ranking is greatly different between the previous time and the current time. In the upper half (the top 5 when the number of keys is 10), the character color drawn on the key is red. On the other hand, in the non-vowel character string in the lower half (lower five when the number of keys is 10), the color of the character drawn on the key is black.

  The key arrangement of the first non-vowel key row 67 and the second non-vowel key row 68 is changed when any of the five vowel keys in the vowel key row 66 is tapped, as already described. The vowel key row 66 is located on the innermost side of the three key rows, and the operator's hand is located further inside. When any of the five vowel keys is tapped, the stylus pen 301 in the operator's hand is positioned directly above or inside the vowel key row 66. Therefore, when the key arrangement of the first non-vowel key row 67 and the second non-vowel key row 68 is changed by tapping the vowel key, the stylus pen 301 is located inside the two key rows. The stylus pen 301 does not hide these two key rows. By arranging the vowel key row 66 inside the two non-vowel key rows, the two non-vowel key rows can be easily visually recognized by the operator without hiding the two non-vowel key rows with the stylus pen 301 when the key arrangement is changed. It can be received.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a handwriting input type DB that stores the input type of the handwriting input area 203 in the electronic document processing apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The handwriting input type DB stores the input type of the handwriting input area 203 displayed on the input display device 201. The input type of the handwriting input area 203 is a combination of the type of the handwriting input area 203 and the corresponding type of the handwriting input area 203 and the cell. The type of the handwriting input area 203 includes, for example, a type having only the normal input area 211 and a type having the normal input area 211 and the extended input area 221. The correspondence type between the handwriting input area 203 and the cell includes, for example, a type in which the handwriting input area 203 and a cell constituting the display field correspond, and a type in which the handwriting input area 203 and the display field correspond.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the input type correspondence DB 32 in the electronic document processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. The input type correspondence DB 32 stores the configuration of the electronic document and the pattern of the manual input unit 12 in association with each electronic document.

  The configuration of the electronic document includes a data column, a cell configuration, and an input pattern type. The data column is provided for each data constituting an electronic document and having a different format and description method. The cell configuration is the configuration of the cells constituting the display column corresponding to the data column (for example, the auxiliary information display column is composed of 16 vertical cells × 21 horizontal cells). The type of the input pattern is the type of data to be input to the cells constituting the display field corresponding to the data field (for example, the date type with numbers only, the type for numerical input including numerical values and symbols, and the like for handwritten input) Type, character input type, etc.). For example, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 changes the arrangement of the first non-vowel key row 67 and the second non-vowel key row 68 displayed in the key selection area 204 according to the type of the input pattern. The type of input pattern may include information indicating a character set (term set for kanji conversion) or a graphic set (graphic pattern of stomach or lungs) according to fields such as cancer and tuberculosis. For example, when the electronic document D0001 is an electronic medical record for cancer, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 performs kanji conversion based on the cancer character set based on the input pattern type for cancer in the diagnosis column, Graphic data may be selected.

  The pattern of the manual input unit 12 includes a type of the handwriting input area 203 and a type of the key selection area 204. The type of the handwriting input area 203 corresponds to the input type of the handwriting input area 203 (see FIG. 10), and the type of the key selection area 204 indicates whether the key selection area 204 is displayed. For example, when the handwriting input area 203 is not present or the key selection area 204 is not present, even if the handwriting input area 203 or the key selection area 204 is displayed, the handwriting input area 203 is not operated in order to prevent an erroneous operation.

  FIG. 12 shows the correspondence between the handwriting input area 203 (the type having the normal input area 211 and the extended input area 221) and the cells constituting the display field in the electronic document processing apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. The example shown in FIG. 12 shows the correspondence between the cells constituting the display device 1080 of the electronic document processing apparatus 10 and the normal input area 211 and the extended input area 221 constituting the handwriting input area 203 displayed on the manual input unit 12. It is an example which shows.

  The display device 1080 has a predetermined number of cells 101 (hereinafter, a cell configured in the display device 1080 is referred to as a cell 101, and a cell at a specific position among the configured cells, for example, a cell in the first row and the first column is a cell. C101) is configured in a matrix. The display device 1080 displays an image for each configured cell 101. The handwriting input area 203 includes a normal input area 211 in which the locus of the stylus pen 301 can be input by handwriting, and an extended input area 221 surrounded by the outer periphery of the normal input area 211 (hereinafter, the entire extended input area 221). Is called an extended input area 221, and specific sections of the extended input area 221 are extended input areas 221-1, 221-2, 221-3, 221-4, extended input areas 221-A, 221-B, 221-C, 221-D).

  12 indicate that the normal input area 211 of the handwriting input area 203 and one cell C704 of the plurality of cells 101 configured in the display device 1080 are input to the normal input area 211. This indicates that the trajectory 401 of the stylus pen 301 is associated with the one cell C704 so as to be displayed. Furthermore, the broken lines 421 to 428 in FIG. 12 divide the extended input area 221 into predetermined sections, and each of the divided sections and each cell in contact with one cell C704 associated with the normal input area 211, , The locus of the stylus pen 301 input to one section of the extended input area 221 is associated with the cell so as to be extended to one of the cells in contact therewith.

  The example of FIG. 12 is an example showing that the locus 401 handwritten in the handwriting input area 203 of the manual input unit 12 by the stylus pen 301 is displayed in the handwritten input area 203 of the manual input unit 12. Further, in the example of FIG. 12, since the locus of the stylus pen 301 is continuously detected from the normal input area 211 to the extended input area 221, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 performs handwriting from the normal input area 211 to the extended input area 221. In this example, the locus 401 of the stylus pen 301 is extended and displayed (extension line 402). In this example, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 performs linear interpolation or spline interpolation using a predetermined number (for example, four points) of the coordinate points of the trajectory collected immediately before, and the stylus pen 301 is The trajectory 401 is extended while calculating the coordinate point of the trajectory that should travel along the flow of the previous movement, and the display device 1080 is extended from the cell C704 to the cell C404 and displayed (extension line 402). For example, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 creates stroke data from the cell C704 to the cell C404 and stores the stroke data in the storage unit (for example, the hard disk 1074).

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of stroke data of the electronic document processing apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The stroke data includes, for example, cell information, input waiting time Tg, coordinate information, and stroke waiting time Ts.

  The cell information includes cell position information associated with the normal input area 211 (for example, cell position information configured in the display device 1080) and cell tag information.

  The input waiting time Tg is measured until the end of input in one cell is detected and input in the next cell is detected (for example, after handwriting of one character is finished and handwriting is started in the next cell). It was time. If the actually measured input waiting time Tg is longer than a predetermined input waiting time (for example, 1.618 times the average of Tg), the electronic document processing apparatus 10 has finished inputting the predetermined input waiting time into this cell. Is the input waiting time Tg from the start of input to the next cell. The electronic document processing apparatus 10 calculates the predetermined input waiting time by performing statistical processing such as averaging processing on the input waiting time Tg based on the stroke data stored in the electronic document DB 31.

  The stroke waiting time Ts is a time measured from one stroke to the next stroke (for example, from the end of writing one stroke to the start of writing the next stroke). Then, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 performs statistical processing such as average processing on the stroke waiting time Ts based on the stroke data stored in the electronic document DB 31. For example, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 monitors the input end of one cell on the basis of the value obtained by statistically processing the input waiting time Tg and the value obtained by statistically processing the stroke waiting time Ts for each input end of one cell. The stroke threshold (for example, a value larger than the value obtained by statistically processing Ts and smaller than the value obtained by statistically processing Tg) is dynamically determined. For example, when the user's handwriting speed is fast, the stroke threshold is a smaller value. Therefore, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 can automatically determine the end of input in one cell in accordance with the user's handwriting speed.

  The coordinate information is coordinate information output from the input tablet 202. The electronic document processing apparatus 10 samples the coordinate information output from the input tablet 202 at regular time intervals (for example, 0.1 seconds) from the contact of the stylus pen 301 to the release of the stylus pen 301 (from the pen down to the pen up). Then, coordinate information is extracted according to a predetermined condition. For example, when the electronic document processing apparatus 10 determines that the data has the same point (for example, data within a predetermined range), the electronic document processing apparatus 10 deletes the data having the same point. In addition, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 uses the coordinate information of the latest coordinate points (for example, four points) collected in the normal input area 211 while the tip of the stylus pen 301 is stopped in the extended input area 221. Linear interpolation or spline interpolation is performed to automatically extend the trajectory to the adjacent cell. The electronic document processing apparatus 10 uses coordinate information obtained by interpolation instead of sampling as coordinate information on the extension line. When the stylus pen 301 continues to stay in the extended input area 221, the electronic document processing apparatus 10 extends the extended locus to the next new cell and measures the time for which the stylus pen 301 is stopped in the extended input area 221. When the measurement time is again longer than a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds), the automatic extension of the locus point is resumed again. The coordinate information may include color information (for example, a specified color), a line type (for example, an interpolation type for a curve), and the like.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the electronic document processing apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This process starts with a program start command and ends with an end command. Moreover, various flags etc. are initialized by the start of this process.

  In step S210, the CPU 1000 performs processing according to key selection from the key input area. After that, the CPU 1000 moves the process to step S201.
