Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a character editing support device, and more particularly to a method for displaying a 1: 1 character image displayed on a display when editing or correcting characters or the like on the display. The present invention relates to a character editing support device that facilitates editing of characters and the like by improving.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when editing a character or the like using a display, the character to be corrected is displayed several times in a correction window, and the actual work is performed in the correction window. Will be At this time, one character of the same size is supplementarily displayed on the display so that the corrected character can be viewed in the same size.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when editing the character “1”, the character “1” is enlarged and displayed in the correction window 2 on the display 1 and displayed on the same-size image window 3. A character "1" of the same size is displayed. Then, when the worker corrects the character "1" in the correction window 2 using the mouse, the image in the same-size image window 3 is also corrected or changed at the same time, and the worker changes the same-size image. By looking at it, it can be determined whether or not the editing state is proceeding as desired.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, when editing a character or the like, only a correction window and one single-size image window are displayed on a conventional display. For this reason, there is a problem that if the operator wants to see what kind of correction has been made by looking at the image in the middle of editing the characters and the like, this cannot be done. Also, I thought that one image in the middle of editing was better than the current image,
Even if it is desired to display this image on the display again, there is a problem that it cannot be displayed again. Further, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to realize this.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-described problems of the prior art and to enable a plurality of different same-size character images created in the process of correcting characters and the like to be simultaneously displayed on a display. Another object of the present invention is to provide a character editing support device that can obtain an optimum correction result.

(Means and Actions for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides at least one image window and a currently modified image on a display so as to show the history of the modified image. It is characterized in that means for displaying one image window to be displayed is provided.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a means for displaying the image displayed in the image window for history in the image window for correction as necessary is provided.

According to the present invention, since the past image can be viewed while the image is being corrected, the history of the correction can be known,
When there is an image of a good pattern in the past images, the image can be moved to the correction window and the correction can be started again, so that the image correction work can be efficiently performed.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of an apparatus to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, 11 is an input device including a keyboard and a mouse, 12 is a hard disk, and 13 is a display. 14 is a CPU, and 15 is a program control unit. These are connected to each other by a bus 16.

When editing a character or the like, a predetermined program of the program control unit 15 is executed by the operation of the CPU 14. When this program is executed, the worker
Characters and the like to be corrected from 12 can be enlarged and displayed on a correction window on the display 13. Then, an image can be corrected from the input device 11 such as a mouse to the enlarged characters and the like.

FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram for explaining the function of one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the same reference numerals are given to blocks corresponding to FIG.

The input device 11 has a function of inputting image correction information and a function of inputting first and second commands 1 and 2 by operating a mouse or the like. The first,
The specific contents of the second commands 1 and 2 will become clear from the following description. The editor 21 is a main part of the present embodiment, and has a function of creating image data for simultaneously displaying a plurality of different same-size character images on the display 13b in the process of correcting characters and the like. The memory 22 provides a work area used to generate the data of the plurality of different 1: 1 character images. The display memory 23 has a function of holding data of an image displayed on the display 13b. The display control unit 13a has a function of controlling the display 13b, and has a function of moving a cursor on the display 13b when the mouse of the input device 11 is operated.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the editor 21 and the memory 22, and FIG. 4 shows an example of the display contents of the display 13b.

Now, when an operator selects a command for editing work such as a character and specifies a specific character (for example, “1”), the character is read from the hard disk 12 and transferred to the memory 22. For this reason, on the memory 22, the first
As shown in the figure, the image data of the character "1"
22a is stored. In the editor 21, a unity-size window control information table 21a as shown in FIG.
And an individual size window individual information table 21b.

The same-size window control information table 21a is a table for managing the number of same-size windows displayed on the display 13b, a pointer of an active same-size window, and the like. The meaning of the active 1: 1 window will be clear from the description below. The same-size window individual information table 21b is displayed on the display 13b.
Individual pointers of the unity window shown above,
It is a table for registering a display position, a size, and the like.

The image data 22a of the character "1" is stored in the memory 22.
Is stored, the image data 22a is enlarged and transferred to the display memory 23. As a result, the display memory 23 stores the enlarged image data of the character “1”.

As a result, the correction window 31 on the display 13b
Then, the character "1" is enlarged and displayed, for example, as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the first and second commands 1 and 2 are displayed on the correction window. For example, in response to the first command 32, "Sele
ct Image! "is displayed, and" Show Little Image! "is displayed corresponding to the second command 33. 34 indicates a cursor.

Then, when the operator corrects the image of the character "1" on the correction window 31 using the cursor 34, the image data 22a on the memory 22 is similarly corrected or changed.

During this time, the number of 1: 1 windows in the 1: 1 window control information table 21a is displayed as "0", and the pointer of the active 1: 1 window is displayed as "NILL". The reason why "NILL" is displayed in the pointer column of the active 1: 1 window is that the 1: 1 window having an image that changes in synchronization with the image on the correction window is not displayed on the display 13b. is there. Also, in the same-size window individual information table 21b, a state where data is not registered yet is maintained.

Next, when the operator places a cursor on the second command 33 in FIG. 4A, that is, "Show Little Image" and clicks on it, as shown in FIG. A 1: 1 image window 35 is displayed on the display 13b. At this time, the following operation is performed in the editor 21.

When the operator selects the second command 33, the pointer column 21a1 of the active 1: 1 window of the 1: 1 window control information table 21a is accessed. At this time, since the kernel field is "NILL", it is determined that the 1: 1 window has not yet been opened on the display 13b. Then, the editor 21 operates to open the same-size window on the display 13b based on the image data 22a.

As a result, the same-size window control information table 21a
Is 1 and the pointer of the active 1: 1 window is "P1". Further, the pointer “P1” and its display position and size are registered in the unit size window individual information table 21b.

In this way, when the character in the correction window 31 is corrected by the operator after the 1: 1 image window 35 of FIG. 4B is opened, the active window control information table 21a is activated. The character image data corresponding to the pointer "P1" registered as a window is corrected. As a result, on the display 13b, the characters in the unity-size window 35 change in synchronization with the correction.

Next, when the operator selects the second command 33 again, similarly to the above, the pointer column 2 of the active 1: 1 window of the 1: 1 window control information table 21a.
1a1 is accessed. At this time, since the field is not NILL, an operation of copying the image data 22a in the memory 22 is performed, and the pointer “P” is stored in another area of the memory 22.
The same data 22b as the image data 22a having "2" is copied. Then, the same-size window control information table
The pointer of the active 1x window of 21b is "P2"
Is changed to In addition, the same size window individual information table
The pointer “P2” and its display position and size are added to 21b.

At this time, since the image data 22b in the memory 22 is transferred to the read display memory 23, the display
On the screen 13b, the second original image window 36 is opened as shown in FIG. 4 (c).

Next, when the operator corrects a character in the correction window 31 on the display 13b, the correction is performed by a character image corresponding to the pointer "P2" registered as an active window in the 1: 1 window control information table 21a. The correction is made to the data 22b. Therefore, the first
The characters in the image window 35 of the same size do not change.
The characters in the same size image window 36 are changed.

Thereafter, each time the second command is selected by the operator, the same operation as described above is repeated each time, and the second command is selected and corresponds to the pointer registered as the active window in the 1: 1 window control information table 21a. The character image data is corrected, while the character image data corresponding to the pointer deregistered is kept as it is.

As a result, according to the present embodiment, the character image at the time when the second command is input is displayed as a still image on the display and sequentially displayed, and the operator can see the progress or history of the correction.

Next, in the case where the first to third 1 × image windows 35 to 37 as shown in FIG. 5 are opened and the active 1 × image window is the third 1 × image window 37, The first command 3 by the operator
2, that is, if "Select Image!" Is selected and then the first equal-size image window 34 is clicked, the individual-size window individual information table 21 in FIG.
From the data of the display position and the size of b, which one of the same size image windows is selected is determined. As a result, in this example, the same-size image data 22a of the pointer "P1"
Is determined to have been selected. Then, the same-size image data 22a is enlarged and sent to the display memory 23, and is enlarged and displayed in the correction window 31 on the display 13b.

At this time, the same-size window control information table
The pointer registered as the active window in 21a is “P1”. Therefore, the correction window
The same-size image window that changes in synchronization with the correction applied to 31 becomes a first same-size image window 35.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the first command is selected and a desired 1 × image window is selected, the image of the 1 × image window is enlarged and displayed on the correction window, and the correction is performed. The correction can be continued again from the image data in the process.

When the correction of the character data read from the hard disk 12 is completed by the above operation, the character data is stored in a predetermined area of the hard disk 12. At this time, overwriting may be performed on the first read position of the hard disk 12.

The above operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, when the operator selects a command for editing a character or the like, an image of the character or the like to be corrected is enlarged and displayed in a correction window on the display. Therefore, the operator makes a correction to the correction window using a mouse or the like (step S1). Next, it is determined whether or not the second command has been input (step S2).

When the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S3, and it is determined whether the same-size image window, that is, the full-size image is displayed. If the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step S5, and an operation of opening a new 1: 1 image window is performed. At this time, the image on the 1: 1 image window is associated with the enlarged image for correction. On the other hand, when step S3 is affirmative, step
Proceeding to S4, the display of the same-size image window that has been displayed until now becomes a still image. Then, proceeding to step S5, the same operation as described above is performed.

Thus, when the second command is selected, the same-size image windows are opened one after another, and the same-size image window opened before the new one-size image window is opened becomes a still image.

If the determination in step S2 is negative, the process proceeds to step S6, where it is determined whether the first command has been input. When this determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S7, where the selected image of the same-size image window is displayed on the correction window, and an operation for associating the image is performed.

For this reason, the operator can start the correction operation again based on the image by selecting the image that has become the still image by the first command.

When the determination in the step S6 is negative, it is determined whether or not the correction is completed (step S8). When the determination is negative, the process returns to the step S1 to continue the correction work.

Note that, in the above-described embodiment, the description has been made using the same size window, but the present invention is not limited to this.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, when the operator desires, windows of the same image as the currently modified image can be successively created. At this time,
Since the most recently displayed window changes simultaneously with the subsequent change of the correction window, and the previous window can be displayed as a still image with the previous image, the worker is displayed in the window. By viewing the image, there is an effect that the history of the correction work can be viewed.

Also, any one of the same-size windows is replaced with the first one.
Is selected, the image of the selected window is displayed in the correction window, and the correction operation can be resumed based on this, so that the image correction operation can be efficiently performed.
