Description

The present invention relates to a document data processing device such as a word processor or a personal computer.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a term document is created in a word processor, for example, numbers, symbols, and the like are added to headings of large items, medium items, and small items. The appearance of the entire document is better if all of the items are large, medium, and small.

In order to perform heading alignment for each item level in this way, when inputting the heading of the item, check the heading portion corresponding to the item level already created on the display screen, and The data was input according to.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, it is troublesome to search for a heading character string of the same item level in a document already created, to check the leading digit position of the character string, and to make the cursor come to a new heading position. This requires time and effort to adjust the position, and requires a screen switching operation and a cursor moving operation, so that key operations are complicated and time-consuming, so that it is not possible to efficiently input itemized documents and the like. Was.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to enable a character string having the same configuration as a character string already input to be input without being aware of its digit position.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has a document data storing means for storing document data, and the same configuration as that of an input character string when a new character string is input at a designated position on the document data. A determination unit that determines whether or not the character string has already been input and stored on the document data. If the determination unit determines that the character string has not been stored, the input character string is directly stored in the specified position. Is input, on the other hand, when it is determined that the character string is stored by the determination means, the digit position of the character string having the same configuration on the document data is detected so that the character position becomes the same as the digit position. And character string input means for moving and inputting the input character string.

Embodiment An embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document data processing device (word processor).

The CPU 11 controls document creation processing and the like in accordance with various programs stored in the program memory 12 in advance.The CPU 11 takes in the document data input from the key input unit 13 and causes the display unit 14 to display and output the document data, and to convert the document data. Kana-Kanji conversion is performed by referring to the dictionary memory 15, and the mixed Kanji sentence is stored in RAM1.
6 is stored in the document memory 16-1.

The RAM 16 has an input register 16- in addition to the document memory 16-1.
2. It has a character string register 16-3, a digit position register 16-4, and an alignment table 16-5. The document memory 16-1 is a memory for storing documents, and stores documents in character codes.
The contents of the document memory 16-1 are read out in response to a print command from the key input unit 13, temporarily store the character data input from the printing unit 17, and the character string register 16-3 is stored in the document memory 16-3. This is a work register for temporarily storing the character string read from 16-1. The digit position register 16-4 stores a character string composed of a combination of specific character types in the document memory 16-.
If the character string has already been created in 1, the digit position of the created character string is stored. The alignment table 16-5 stores a predetermined combination of specific character types, the contents of which are previously set arbitrarily by the operator from the key input unit 13.

FIG. 2 shows a specific example of the alignment table 16-5, in which each row stores a combination of a specific character type. In this embodiment, each line of the alignment table 16-5 has a four-character structure, and each line stores a code indicating a character type for four characters in accordance with the combination state. Here, "*" in the figure indicates a "s / phrase" space code or a punctuation code, indicating that any code such as a character or space may be used.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG.

The flowchart of FIG. 3 is executed following the process of writing the input character data to the document memory 16-1 one character, and is started every time one character data is input.

First, the input character data is taken into the input register 16-2 and written into the document memory 16-1, and it is checked whether or not this character data is the same character type as the last character type in the alignment table 16-5 ( Step S1). Here, the second
As shown in the figure, the last character type in each line in the alignment table 16-5 is "symbol", "sign", and "symbol".
If the character data written in the document memory 16-1 is not the same type of character data, the process directly exits from this flow. However, if it is detected in step S1 that the character type is the same, the process proceeds to step S2 and the alignment table The input character strings corresponding to the maximum number of characters of 16-5 are read from the document memory 16-1 and written into the character string register 16-3.

Now, as shown in FIG. 4 (1), if a symbol ")" is entered after "..., .B", then the last character type "symbol" in the alignment table 16-5 matches. 16−
A character string "(.b)" corresponding to the maximum number of characters of 5 (4 characters in this embodiment) is read out, and the character string register 16-3 is read.
Is written to. As shown in FIG. 4 (2), when "Kukeko." Is input and a new line is input, and "b)" is input from the first digit of the next line, a character string of four characters is stored in the document memory 16-.
When the data is read from 1, a part of the character is placed on the previous line. In such a case, the character on the previous line is treated as a space.

Thus, the same combination of character types as the input character string fetched into the input string register 16-3 is stored in the alignment table 16-5.
It is checked whether or not it is set in (step S3). Here, in the case of FIG. 4 (1), the input character string “コ .b) is a combination of the combination“ *,
Phrases, letters and symbols ". Also, the input character string in the case of FIG. 4 (2), that is, the character string "b) consisting of a space, a space, an alphabetic character, and a symbol is one of the characters in the alignment table 16-5.
Matches the combination of the line. If a combination of the same character type as the input character string is set in the alignment table 16-5 in this manner, the process proceeds to the next step S4 on the condition that it is not set, but if not set, the flow exits from this flow.

Step S4 is to check whether or not a character string of the same kind as the corresponding combination in the alignment table 16-5 is stored in the document memory 16-1. In the case shown in FIGS. The alignment table 16-5 has already been stored in the document memory 16-1.
Is stored in the first line, a character string composed of "*, su / phrase, alphabet, and symbol", that is, a character string "a) composed of space, space, alphabet, and symbol is stored. It is detected that the character string has already been created. Note that in this case, the entire document may be searched, but for speeding up, only a few lines where characters actually exist in the preceding and following lines may be searched.

Therefore, a character string similar to the input character string
If it is not within -1, this flow is exited, but if it has already been created, the document memory 16-1 in which the character string is stored is stored.
Is detected and stored in the digit position register 16-4 (step S5). Here, in the case of FIGS. 4 (1) and (2), "4" is set in the digit position register 16-4 as the digit position of the character string "a)".

Then, the process proceeds to the next step S6, where the character string register 16-
In the same line in the document memory 16-1 containing the corresponding character string in No. 3, it is checked whether or not character data is stored at the left digit position. In this case, the character string register 16−
The corresponding character string in 3 corresponds to the character string detected in step S4. In the case of FIG.
This corresponds to “b)” in the character string “ko.b)” in 16-3. In the case of FIG. 4A, since character data exists on the left side of the same line of the corresponding character string, a line following the corresponding character string is started (step S7), and the digit in the digit position register 16-4 is changed. The sentence below the character string is moved to the position (step S8). As a result, as shown in FIG. 4 (1), the character string "b)" moves in the direction of the arrow in the figure and is displayed in the fourth digit of the next line. Therefore, the digit positions of the already input character string "a)" and the newly input character string "b)" are automatically aligned.

On the other hand, in the case of FIG. 4 (2), since there is no character data on the left side of the same line of the corresponding character string, the process skips step S7 and proceeds to step B8 to reach the character position up to the digit position in the digit position register 16-4. Move statements below the column. As a result, the fourth
As shown in FIG. 2B, the character string "b)" moves in the direction of the arrow in the figure and is displayed in the fourth digit on the same line. Also in this case, the digit positions of the character strings “a)” and “b)” match.

In steps S7 and S8, the sentence below the character string is set to, for example, "c)" after returning to the middle of the already created document.
Is inserted, the following sentence also needs to be moved together with “c)”. Therefore, in addition to adding a new document after an already created document, when inserting a new document into an already created document, the specific character string used for the Is set to the same digit position as the corresponding character string.

In the above embodiment, an arbitrary character type is set in the alignment table 16-5. However, a character type fixedly determined in advance by the manufacturer may be used. The character type of the alignment table 16-5 is not limited to the character type, but may be the character itself.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, when a new character string is input on document data, if a character string having the same configuration as the input character string has not been input on the document data, the input position Can be directly input to the input character string. On the other hand, if a character string having the same configuration as the input character string has already been input on the document data, Since the digit position is automatically detected and the input character string is automatically moved to the same digit position as the digit position and input, the input digit of each character string is first entered when inputting document data. As long as the operator himself specifies the position on the actual document data and inputs it, if a new character string having the same configuration as the already input character string is input, the input digit Even if the operator does not particularly perform an operation of matching the position with the digit position of the character string having the same configuration, the input position that matches the digit position of the newly input character string with the digit position of the character string having the same configuration Input can be automatically arranged at the digit position.
