Description

The present invention relates to a data processing device such as a wort processor having a card-type database function.

(B) Conventional technology Portable word processor SW manufactured by Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.
In a conventional data processing apparatus such as the P-M60, when data such as a table and a title is registered as format data of a card type database, the format data is registered by an operator operation such as a keyboard input in a format creation mode. Was.

Therefore, if there is a table or the like to be used as format data in document data created by a word processor or the like, the same table must be re-entered in the format creation mode to register the table as format data.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and automatically extracts format data such as a card-type database from already created document data. It is a technical object to eliminate the operation of automatically generating the "?" And re-registering by the operator.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an input unit for inputting document data, a data storage unit for storing the document data input by the input unit, And a format data registration unit for extracting a common part of the plurality of document data stored in the storage unit and registering the extracted data as format data.

In addition, an input unit for inputting document data, a data storage unit for storing the document data input by the input unit, and a shared data having a changed position or size of the document data stored in the data storage unit Format data registration means for extracting a portion and registering the extracted data as format data.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that it has a format data correcting means for an operator to correct the extracted format data to appropriate format data.

(E) Operation According to the document processing apparatus of the present invention, the format data such as a table and a title can be extracted from the stored document data by providing the format registration unit.

(F) Embodiment Hereinafter, the document processing apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a data processing device for implementing the present invention. (1) is a main control unit, which controls each unit of the present apparatus based on a control program stored in the control unit. (2) is a bus connecting the main control unit and each unit, and performs data exchange of each unit. (3) is an input unit composed of a keyboard, a mouse, and the like. In addition to inputting characters, ruled lines, and the like, a cursor movement, kana-kanji conversion, execution,
It has an instruction key for instructing start of format extraction and the like. (4) is an output display unit such as a CRT display or a liquid crystal display, and is controlled by a display control unit (5). Reference numeral (6) denotes a data storage unit such as a hard disk or a floppy disk, which stores and saves created document data. (7) is a text memory for temporarily storing the document data being processed, and upon completion of the processing, such document data is transferred to and stored in the data storage unit (6).
(8) is a data analysis unit, and the data storage unit (6)
And the data stored in the data storage unit (6) and the data in the text memory (7) are compared to extract the format data. Reference numeral (9) denotes a format data registration buffer for writing the format data extracted by the data analysis unit (8) character by character. Reference numeral (10) denotes a format data registration unit, which registers data written in the format data registration buffer (9) in the format data storage unit (11) after data analysis. (12)
Is a format data correction unit for correcting data extracted by the data analysis unit (8) and written in the format data registration buffer (9). The format stored in the format storage unit (11) is read by the format data reading unit (13).
It can be read out and used at any time in the text memory (7).

Thus, format extraction is performed by the above-described data processing device in the procedure described below.

2A and 2B are flowcharts of a control program for performing format data extraction processing, format registration, and correction processing according to the document processing apparatus of the present invention.

Now, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), when two documents created by the characters and ruled lines input by the input unit (5) are stored in the data storage unit (6),
In response to a format extraction instruction from the input unit (5), the data analysis unit (8) compares the two document data, and the format data registration unit (10) transfers the extracted data to the format data storage unit (11). register. Upon receiving the format extraction instruction, first, the read pointer of each document to be compared in step S10 is set at the head of the document. Next, in step S20, the data storage unit (11)
Read data character by character. In step S40, the read data is compared, and if they match, write processing to the format data registration buffer in step S50 is performed.
Further, in step S60, the read pointer of each document is advanced, and the process returns to step S20 to perform the same processing. In this manner, the process is repeated until the end of the document data. When the end of the document data is detected in step S30, the second process is performed.
Processing is performed by the registration processing routine shown in FIG. In the registration processing routine, it is determined in step S100 whether or not the format registration buffer (9) is empty. If not, in step S110, the format data in the format registration buffer (9) is displayed by the display controller (3) on the display unit (4). ) Is displayed, and if necessary, a correction process is performed according to the instruction of the operator. In step S120, the data in the format registration buffer (9) is registered in the format data storage (11). Thus, the format data shown in FIG. 4 is registered based on the document data shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b).

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are schematic views for explaining a second embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, in comparing two documents having different sizes in the table, the comparison process in step S40 uses the P in FIG. 5 (a).
1 and P2 ruled line code in the same figure (b) When comparing P2 ruled line code May be continuous in the vertical direction, so the continuity and continuous rule code and the rule code of P1 Check to see if it matches. Format data registration buffer (9) because ruled line codes match in P3
To Write. By performing the comparison processing in step S40 as described above, it is possible to obtain desired format data even when the data is not the same as the original data. Thus, the format data shown in FIG. 6 can be extracted from the two documents shown in FIG.

In addition to the continuity of the ruled line code,
Similarly, character size such as double-width characters, character modification such as underlining, eraser, and shading, and positions of characters and ruled lines can be similarly extracted as format data.

Further, by providing a format data correction unit for correcting the extracted format data, the format data can be corrected to desired format data and registered.

In the present embodiment, an example of two documents has been described. However, format data can be extracted by comparing three or more documents or by comparing pages.

(G) Effect The document processing apparatus of the present invention can easily extract format data such as a table and a title from already created document data by a simple operation. The burden on the operator when creating a format is reduced.
