DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an example in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor will be described by way of an example. Before entering into a specific description of an embodiment of the present invention, a multi-window display as a background of the present invention will be described. The technology will be described first.

[0011] The multi-window display technology is a technology for simultaneously displaying a plurality of types of information on a display terminal device of an information device so that two or more types of information can be simultaneously viewed on the same display. Becomes In this case, since two or more types of screens are simultaneously overlapped, a necessary portion of one display content may be hidden by the other display.

In order to avoid such a situation, it has been considered that these windows can be moved anywhere on the display screen and can be deleted at any time according to a user's instruction.

Next, a specific example for realizing the multi-window display function will be described. However, various means for realizing the multi-window display function are conceivable and are not limited thereto.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the principle of a multi-window display function in a so-called bit map CRT.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a central processing unit (CP).
U), 11 are a CRT controller (CRTC), 12 is a window controller (WDC) included in the CRTC 11, 13 is a frame memory for several screens having storage elements corresponding to the display on the CRT one dot at a time, 1
Reference numerals 4, 15 and 16 denote frame memories for one screen constituting the frame memory 13, respectively, and 17 denotes a display screen of the CRT.

Address (p ₁ , q ₁ , r ₁ , s ₁ )
And (u ₁ , v ₁ , w ₁ , x ₁ ) are the addresses of the four corners of each window of the frame memories 15 and 16, and these pieces of address information are held in the window controller (WDC) 12.

Address (p ₂ , q ₂ , r ₂ , s ₂ )
And (u ₂ , v ₂ , w ₂ , x ₂ ) are the addresses (p ₁ , q ₁ , r ₁ , s ₁ ) and (u ₁ , v ₁ , w ₁ ), respectively.
₁ , x ₁ ) corresponding to the four corners of each window on the CRT screen 17, and these pieces of address information are also held in the window controller (WDC) 12.

Further, the window controller (WD)
C) 12 holds display priority information between windows, and in the example shown in FIG. 1, (uvwx), (p
qrs), that is, the display order is held so that the frames are displayed in the order of the frame memories 16, 15, 14.

In the above configuration, the CRT controller (CRTC) 11 is a window controller (W
DC) 12 based on the respective window address information of the frame memories 15 and 16, the respective window address information on the CRT screen 17 and the display priority information,
15 and 16 are appropriately selected, the stored contents are read out, and the contents are displayed on the CRT screen 17 as shown in FIG.

The display on the CRT screen 17 can be easily changed as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (c) by appropriately rewriting the above information held by the window controller (WDC) 12 according to a command from the CPU 10. It is possible to do.

That is, by rewriting the window address on the frame memory 13, the display scroll in the window can be performed. For example, the window address (u
₁ , v ₁ , w ₁ , x ₁ ) by one line (each y-coordinate of the window address is reduced by -1 line) to obtain FIG.
The display scroll in the window as shown in FIG.

The window can be moved by rewriting the window address on the CRT screen 17. For example, the window address (u ₂ , v ₂ , w ₂ , x
₂ ) is increased by one line (each y-coordinate of the window address is decreased by one line) to reduce the CR as shown in FIG.
The window on the T screen 17 is moved.

Further, the priority of the window is changed. For example, the priority of the window address is changed to (p, q, r, s).
By changing the order of (u, v, w, x), the display can be changed as shown in FIG.

By using the multi-window display technique as described above, the frame memories 14 to 14 can be used even when the screen display is greatly changed as shown in FIGS.
It is not necessary to rewrite the dot pattern in the window controller 16 at all, and only a few parameters such as the window address held in the window controller (WDC) 12 need to be rewritten.

Therefore, the display change as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C can be performed in a short time within one frame time (usually about 1/30 second), so that the user does not feel any discomfort at all.

It should be noted that the display shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C can be changed by rewriting the contents of the frame memory 14 each time even in a normal display device having no multi-window display function. In this case, it takes more time to switch the display as compared with the one using the multi-window display technology.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention using the above-described display technique will be described in detail.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 50 denotes a central processing unit (CP).
U), 51 are CRT controllers (CRTC), 52
Denotes a window controller (WDC) provided in the controller (CRTC) 51 of the CRT, and 53 denotes a CR.
The frame memories 54 and 55 each have a storage capacity of several screens corresponding to the display on the T one dot at a time.
7 is a display screen of the CRT. 58 is a keyboard,
Reference numeral 60 denotes a character generator, and 64 denotes a screen position specifying device such as a mouse or a light pen.

Reference numeral 61 denotes a character code buffer memory corresponding to the frame memory 53. The character code buffer memory 61 has character code buffer memory sections 62 and 63 corresponding to the frame memories 54 and 55. Although the buffer memory section 63 is slightly different from the concept of a so-called character code buffer, it is a buffer for storing a character code corresponding to one unit of an organization chart or a graphic pattern of a calculator in the frame memory 55. Reference numeral 66 denotes an area for storing data for displaying an organization chart, and 67 denotes an area for storing data for displaying a picture on a calculator. The area 66 in these frame memories 55
The bit patterns and the character codes stored in the memory 67 and 67 are stored in an external storage device 65 such as a floppy disk, and are loaded into the character code buffer memory 63 and the areas 66 and 67 in the frame memory 55 as necessary. It is configured to.

Since the graphic patterns stored in the areas 66 and 67 in the frame memory 55 are very simple figures, when the absolute position of the screen 57 is determined by the instruction of the mouse 64 or the like, the pattern is displayed at that position. The corresponding address on the character code buffer memory 63 can be easily grasped on the CPU 50 side.

Next, the document processing operation of the apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to the operation flowchart shown in FIG.

Now, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), a table of the social gathering travel expenses (the numbers in each item column are blank) is displayed on the display device 57, and the multi-window display technology described above is displayed on the display screen. It is assumed that the graphic pattern of the calculator stored in the area 67 of the frame memory 55 is preferentially displayed on the left side.

In such a state, first, when the point a on the display screen 57 is designated by the mouse 64 or the like in order to input the item column of the transportation expenses into the amount (step n1 in FIG. 4),
The position designation on the display screen 57 is converted into a position on the frame memory 53, 54 or 55 by the CPU 50 (n
2) Then, in step n3, it is determined whether or not the specified position is on the frame memory 54. These determinations are made from the window management information (address, display priority) stored in the window controller 52. Since point a is now on the frame memory 54, the process branches to step n9, where the designated position on the frame memory 54 is converted into the character code buffer memory 62, and the memory position to be input as the amount of money is designated.

Next, returning to step n1, the mouse 64
Numbers on the keyboard of a calculator graphic pattern by eg "
When the positions of 8 "," 0 "," 0 "," 0 "are designated, the positions on the character code buffer memory 63 corresponding to the designated positions on the frame memory 55 are designated in steps n2 to n4. It is determined whether or not the stored data is a numeral (n5), and the numeral "8" or "0" is now determined.
Has been designated, the flow branches to step n6 to write the character code in the character code buffer memory 63 into the designated position (transportation cost column) in the character code buffer memory 62 and to display the character code in the display column position in the character code buffer memory 62. Writing (n6) and sending the character pattern to the frame memories 54, 55 and 67 (n7). The CPU 50 prepares for the operation (n8).

Next, the operator performs the same operation for the accommodation expenses and the tour expenses in the same manner, and writes the respective amounts ("12000" and "2000") in the columns of the accommodation expenses and the visit expenses. Then, after inputting the amount in each item column, when pointing to the [=] key portion on the calculator, in step n5, the process branches to step n10, where the CPU 50 executes the operation and executes the character code corresponding to the operation result ("22000"). Is written in the display column position of the character code buffer memory 63 (n1
1) The character pattern is stored in the frame memory 55 (67).
(N12). Turning to locate the display column b ₁ of the figure calculator on the display screen 57 by the mouse 64 or the like CPU50 are aware of this position (n13), CP
U50 stores the position on the display screen 57 in the frame memory 5
The position on the frame memory 67 is converted into the position on the character code buffer memory 63 (n14).
The character code string (“22000” in the display column of the calculator) in the character code buffer memory 63 is recognized based on the result (n15). Next, the operator operates the mouse 64 or the like to display the total field b on the display screen 57.
_{When 2} is designated, this position designation is grasped by the CPU 50 (n17), and the CPU 50 converts the position designation on the display screen 57 into a position on the frame memory 54 (n1).
8) Next, the position on the frame memory 54 is converted into the character code buffer memory 62 (n19), the memory position on the character code buffer memory 62 is designated, and the character code buffer memory 63 previously recognized in step n16 is specified. The above character code string is written into the character code buffer memory 62 (n20), and the character pattern is written into the frame memory 54.
(N21). To this result the total column b ₂ "2200
"0" is displayed.

When making a table using a calculator in this way, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the user first designates the column of the transportation expenses with the mouse 64 or the like (point a), and then displays the calculator on the screen. The keyboard is designated with the mouse 64 or the like and "8000" is input.
Next, by inputting the accommodation expenses and the transportation expenses in the same manner, the tabulation progresses on the screen. Finally, by operating [=] on the calculator, the total result “22000” is displayed in the display field of the calculator. This display is indicated by the mouse 64 or the like, and when the total column is designated, "22000" is moved to the total column, and the table is completed.

Since the calculator itself is displayed on the screen in this way, the input for calculation becomes the input for tabulation at the same time, so that the operator can save time and input different numbers. Fear is gone.

As another example, a case of inputting an address using an organization table will be described. Now, a document in which the address is blank is displayed on the display screen 57 as shown in FIG. It is assumed that the graphic pattern of the tissue table stored in the area 66 of the frame memory 55 is preferentially displayed on the left side of the display screen by the multi-window display technique.

In such a state, the operator first uses the mouse 64 or the like to display one item on the organization table (for example, “General Manager of General Affairs”).
Indicate c ₁ ). With this instruction, the CPU 50 grasps the corresponding position in the character code buffer memory 63 and recognizes the character code for "General Manager". Next, when the operator instructs the address column c ₂ blank, aware of this instruction by the CPU50 corresponding position of the character code buffer memory 62 (b point), to 62 from the buffer memory 63 '
And it sends the character code of general manager ", to display the" general manager "in address column c ₂ of the display screen 57 sends a character pattern of the frame memory 54 navel.

In this manner, simply pointing one of the organization charts (for example, general affairs manager c ₁ ) with the mouse 64 or the like and then pointing to the blank address column c ₂ is shown in FIG. The same operation as steps n13 to n21 of the operation flow is executed, and the information of "General Manager of General Affairs" is input in the address column, and no new input is required. In addition, to indicate the organization table,
It can be entered in the address field by an operation method that suits human intuition.

[0042]

As described above in detail, according to the document processing apparatus of the present invention, a graphic pattern of a calculator including a display and a keyboard is superimposed on a document being created, and an input position designation is performed. Document entry by means
In the state where the force position is indicated , numerical data is input by instructing the keyboard of the graphic pattern of the calculator, and the input numerical data is stored in the numerical data storage means as data relating to the operation, and the numerical data of the calculator is displayed. In addition to displaying the numerical data on the display of the pattern and inputting the numerical data to the position in the document designated by the input position designating means, the numerical data is stored at the position designated by the input position designating means of the document data storage means. Is displayed at the position specified in the document by the operator, and numerical data, which is a calculation result obtained by performing a calculation using the input numerical data, is stored in the numerical data storage means, and a graphic of the calculator is displayed. After the pattern data is displayed on the display, the numerical data is selectively placed at the position in the document designated by the input position designating means. In order to force, in which stored in the position indicated by the input position indicating means of the document data storage unit, and displays the position in the document indicated by the input position indicating means.
