Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a document display device for displaying number character data including number characters having a predetermined order on a document. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the case of creating a serialized numbered document as shown in FIG. 7 in a word processor, for example, a technique for easily inputting a serial number (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 131160/1986). Gazette). According to this, when a numbering input is designated by operating a specific key, a number continuous from a previously designated initial value is sequentially calculated and output for each command. [0003] However, in this type, since the number is limited to a simple number, there is an advantage in a simple numbering as shown in FIG. When creating a multi-level itemized document as shown in (1), Chapter 1, Chapter 2 (first level), 1,
2, 3 ... (second level), (a), (b), (c) ...
.. (Third level), it was not possible to add numbers to the heading items at multiple levels, and it was not possible to add alphabetic characters or the like. An object of the present invention is to make it possible to call a number character data whose contents have been updated by a number character call instruction on a document, and to easily change to another number character data even after this call. It is to be. According to a first aspect of the present invention, a desired character string consisting of a combination of a desired number character of a desired number character type and a fixed character attached to the number character is arbitrarily input. Character string input means, setting means for individually registering and setting a plurality of input character strings input by the input means as a character string to be automatically updated, and for each of the registered input character strings, the input character string Detecting means for detecting the character portion of the number character in the character string, and for each of the registered input character strings, updating the number character detected in the input character string to the next number character, and A character string generating means for generating a new character string in which a number character is combined with the fixed character in the corresponding input character string, and outputting the registered and set input character strings, Column And a character string output means for appropriately selecting and outputting each generated character string newly generated by the character string generation means in correspondence with each character string. A second invention is a character string input means for arbitrarily inputting a desired character string composed of a combination of a desired number character of a desired number character type and a fixed character attached to the number character, and automatically inputting the input character string. Setting means for registering and setting as a character string to be updated;
Detecting means for detecting a character portion of a number character of a predetermined number character type in the input character string registered and set; and a number character of a predetermined number character type detected in the input character string by the same number character type. A character string generating means for updating the number character next to the input number character and generating a new character string by combining the updated number character with the fixed character in the input character string; A character that outputs the input character string, and outputs a character string newly generated by the character string generation unit in response to an instruction to call the registered character string after the registered and set input character string is output. And a string output means, wherein the character string generation means sequentially generates a new character string in which only the number character is updated one by one to the next number character each time the registered character string is called. To. An embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. Configuration FIG. 1 is a block circuit diagram showing a basic configuration of a word processor. The CPU 11 executes a document creation process according to a microprogram stored in advance.
That is, the document data input from the key input unit 12 is fetched and displayed on the text screen of the display unit 13, and the kana-kanji conversion is performed using the JIS kanji code table 14 as necessary, and the converted data is stored in the document memory 15. In this case, when the number key KA provided on the key input unit 12 is operated to create a multi-level itemized document, the CPU 11 updates a specific character whose update order is predetermined according to the character type. (Hereinafter referred to as increment characters) for each of a plurality of levels, or set to a mode in which an increment process for updating the registered increment characters for each level can be executed. In this increment processing, the next candidate key KB, the previous candidate key KC, the execution key KD, and the character key KE on the key input unit 12 are used, and the level pointer 16 and the fixed phrase memory 17 are used. Here, the next candidate key KB is a key for incrementing the value of the level pointer 16, and the previous candidate key KC is a key for decrementing the value of the level pointer 16. The fixed phrase memory 17 stores an increment character for each of a plurality of levels. In the present embodiment, a fixed phrase character string including the increment character can be stored in addition to the increment character. And
The fixed phrase memory 17 has a first area AI, a second area AII
Is provided. The first area AI stores a registered increment character or a character string including the increment character for each of a plurality of levels (level 1, level 2, level 3, level 4) as initial data. The updated data obtained by updating the corresponding initial data in one area AI is stored for each level. In the fixed phrase memory 17, data writing and reading operations are specified under the control of the CPU 11, and the level is specified according to the value of the level pointer 16. FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a main part of the JIS kanji code table 14. In the JIS kanji code table 14, various increment characters are stored in a predetermined order corresponding to the Kuten codes. In FIG. 2, the numbers "0, 1, 2,... 9"
The lowercase letters “a, b,... Z” of the alphabet are shown. [0009] Operation Now, will be described as an example when creating a multi-level itemized document as shown in FIG. Here, documents starting with Chapter 1, Chapter 2,... Are referred to as documents starting at level 1, 1, 2, 3,..., And documents starting at level 2, (a), (b), (c). Defined as level 3. When such an itemized document is input, it is performed according to the input procedure shown in FIG. First, before inputting the first item data, the number key KA
Is operated (FIG. 4A). Then, the increment processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is executed. That is, in step S1, the fixed phrase memory 1 corresponding to the level designated by the value of the level pointer 16
It is checked whether or not an increment character or a character string including the increment character is registered in the first area AI of No. 7. Since the value of the level pointer 16 is "1" and the contents of the fixed phrase memory 17 are all cleared at the first time when the first item data is input,
Next, a data registration mode is set (steps S2 to S
4). At this time, a symbol “?” Indicating that data should be registered is displayed on the display unit 13 as shown in FIG. Note that the portion surrounded by a broken line in FIG. 4 indicates the current cursor position. After confirming the symbol display, the character key KE is operated to input data. That is, the character string “1st” including the number “1” as the level 1 increment character
Is input and the execution key KD is operated, the input data is registered in the first area AI of the designated level (step S3). As a result, as shown in FIG. 4A, the character string of "Chapter 1" is registered as the initial data at the level 1 of the first area AI. In this case, the character string of "Chapter 1" is stored in the document memory 15 as input data in the same manner as in the case of normal document creation. When the input data of "Chapter 1" is registered in the first area AI in this way, the input data is searched for an increment character "1", and the updated character is updated. A character string including characters (update data) is registered in the second area AII at the specified level (steps S4 and S5). As a result, as shown in FIG. 4A, "Chapter 2" is registered as update data at level 1 of the second area AII. Thereafter, a document "kanji conversion" following "Chapter 1" is input. In this case, the input data is stored in the document memory 15 in the same manner as in the case of normal document creation. After inputting the first item data in this way, the user operates the line feed key and the like, and then operates the number key KA (FIG. 4B). Then, the execution of the flowchart of FIG. 5 is started again. In this case, the value of the level pointer 16 remains “1”, and the first area AI of level 1 designated by this value contains “Chapter 1”. Has already been registered, this is detected in step S1, and the flow advances to step S7 to display and output the update data registered in the second area AII at the specified level as candidate data from the current cursor position. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4B, candidate update data "Chapter 2" registered in the second area AII of level 1 is displayed. Then, a key input waiting state is set (step S8). Since the second item data to be input next is level 2, the next candidate key KB is operated in this case. Then, step S1
The process proceeds to step S2, where an increment process for adding “1” to the value of the level pointer 16 is performed, and the process returns to step S1. Therefore, the value of the level pointer 16 is updated to “2”. In this case, since the registration data has not yet been stored in the first area AI of level 2, the mode is again the data registration mode. Now, when "1." is input as the initial data of level 2 and the execution key KD is operated, as shown in FIG. 4B, the input data "1."
Is registered in the second area AII of level 2 (steps S3 to S3).
6). Next, the number key KA is operated to input the third item data (FIG. 4C). In this case, the process proceeds from step S1 to step S7, and the level 2
Are displayed as candidates, but the third item data is level 3, so the next candidate key KB is operated. As a result, the value of the level pointer 16 is updated to "3" as described above (step S12). Then, the process returns to step S1.
As a result of the execution of S6, as shown in FIG. 4C, the input data "(a)" is registered in the first area AI of level 3, and the updated data is stored in the second area AII of level 3. “(B)” is registered. As a result, all the character strings including the increment characters for each level required to create the itemized document as shown in FIG. 3 are registered as the initial data. Then, the number key KA is operated to input the fourth item data (FIG. 4D). In this case, after the update data of level 3 is displayed as a candidate, key input is awaited (steps S7 to S8). However, since the fourth item data is also level 3, the execution key KD is set to confirm it. Manipulate. Then, the process proceeds to step S9, and the cursor is set at the next digit of the candidate display (FIG. 4).
(D)). The update data “(b)” displayed as a candidate is stored in the document memory 15 in the same manner as usual. Then, an increment character is detected from the update data displayed as candidates (step S1).
0), and the update is performed (step S11). Thus, the updated data newly updated is registered in the second area AII of the designated level (step S6). As a result, “(c)” is registered as new update data in the second area AII of level 3 as shown in FIG. Since the next fifth item data is level 3 data like the fourth item data, the number key KA is operated in the same manner as described above when inputting the item data. Then, the execution key KD is operated (FIG. 4).
(E)). As a result, the candidate data is determined and stored in the document memory 15, and the increment character in the update data of level 3 is updated.
The updated data "(d)" is registered in the area AII (steps S7 to S11, S6). When the number key KA is operated to input the sixth item data (FIG. 4F), the update data of level 3 is displayed as a candidate (step S).
7) Since this item data is at level 2, the previous candidate key KC is operated. Then, the process proceeds to step S13, and the current designated level is determined based on the value of the level pointer 16. Here, when the designated level is "1", there is no higher level, and the key operation at this time is invalidated. However, since the designated level is "3", the process proceeds to step S14, and the designated level is set. The data in the first area AI of the level is registered in the second area AII of the corresponding level. That is, when a higher level than the current specified level is specified, the update data of the current specified level (lower level) is returned to the initial data “(a)”. Then, a decrement process of subtracting "1" from the value of the level pointer 16 is executed (step S15). Thereafter, the process proceeds from step S1 to step S7, in which the desired update data of level 2 "2." is displayed as a candidate. As a result, the increment character in the update data of level 2 is updated (step S11), so that “3.” is registered as new update data in the second area AII of level 2 (step S6). Next, when the number key KA is operated to input the seventh item data (FIG. 4 (G)), the update data of level 2 is displayed as a candidate (step S).
7) Since this item data is at level 3, the next candidate key KB is operated. Then, as a result of the increment of the level pointer 16, the update data “(a)” of the desired level 3 is displayed as a candidate, and the execution key KD is operated to fix it. Hereinafter, a multi-level itemized document is created by performing the same operation. Modified Application Example (1) In the above embodiment, numbers and lower case alphabets are shown as increment characters, but other increment characters, for example, i, ii, iii, iV...
B, C,..., A, I, C,..., I, II, III,. (2) Also, as shown in FIG. 6, a specific character string part “development unit 1” in the data “A electric equipment development unit 1” in the fixed phrase memory
Character strings "Development Department 2", "Technical Department 1"
, “Technical Department 2”... Are replaced with the above-mentioned specific character string part “Development Department 1” according to the update order, thereby “A Electric Development Department 2” and “A Electrical Engineering Department 1”. .. May be created. (3) In the above-described embodiment, when an increment character is input and registered, or when the candidate-displayed increment character is determined by operating the execution key, the increment character is updated and the next increment character is updated. Although created, the increment character may be updated at the time of a call command. According to the present invention, number characters of a desired number character type (for example, "1" or "a") and desired fixed characters (for example, "No." Chapters,
Or a character string (for example, a character string such as "Chapter 1", "1.", or "(a)") composed of a combination of "." Or "(" and ")". As a matter of course, the character string can be output by inputting and registering the character string, and the character portion of the number character (such as “1” or “a”) in the character string is automatically detected. For the number characters automatically detected among the character strings, a character string in which only the number characters are automatically updated can be automatically generated and output. By simply inputting and setting an arbitrary character string in which the desired character and the desired fixed character are combined, a character string in which only the number character portion is automatically updated in the input and set character string is immediately output and output. Can be.
