DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a text editing apparatus such as a Japanese word processor and a computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a conventional apparatus.

FIG. 6 shows an input embodiment of a conventional apparatus.

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 51 denotes a CP for executing a program.
U (central processing unit). Reference numeral 52 denotes a display device such as a CRT, an LCD, etc., 53 denotes an input unit such as a keyboard, 54 denotes an image data input unit 55a which reads data created by an input pen, a mouse, or the like, or data by a scanner, etc .; , 55b is an image data buffer for storing created image data and read image data, 55c is a dictionary unit,
The storage unit 55 further includes a control program and the like, and is collectively referred to as a storage unit 55.

FIG. 6A shows an image creation screen. Image data created by keyboard input, mouse, and drag operation with an input pen, and image data read by a scanner are displayed on the screen.
When the paste key of the function is pressed, a paste mode is set. FIG. 6 (2) shows the operation of actually pasting the image data into the text. The image data is automatically pasted at a fixed position from the cursor, and once pasted, the pasted data is moved. I brought it to its final position. (FIG. 6 (2) A, B)

[0006]

In the conventional text editing apparatus, when image data is pasted into a text, the text data is automatically pasted at a fixed position from the cursor. The user cannot arbitrarily select whether the reference point (the upper left vertex) is pasted. Also, there is no display function for prior confirmation that displays a layout when image data is pasted before executing the pasting instruction and allows the user to confirm the layout.

As described above, when pasting image data into a sentence, it is necessary to execute a pasting command, actually paste the image data, and then move the image data to a location designated by the user again, which is troublesome twice. . In addition, moving the image data basically involves a different key operation than moving characters, and requires a great deal of labor.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above problems, and is directed to a text editing apparatus provided with text input means, bit image input means, text editing means, and layout display means. When arranging the bit image data in the sentence data, the arrangement reference setting means which can change the distance between the two regions based on the cursor position of the sentence and the position of the corresponding page when actually arranged. A sentence editing apparatus characterized by having a display means for confirmation that enables advance confirmation by displaying a state.

[0009]

According to the above construction, in the image data to be arranged in the text data, the position of the image data to be pasted is based on the cursor in the text data and the distance between the two regions can be changed. Is easy to grasp, and the layout can be confirmed on the confirmation display before the pasting is executed, so that it is not necessary to move the pasted data.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. The present invention is, of course, not limited to these embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the apparatus of the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a CPU (central processing unit) for executing a program. Reference numeral 2 denotes a display device such as a CRT, LCD, etc., 3 denotes an input unit such as a keyboard, 4 denotes an image data input unit for reading data created by an input pen, a mouse or the like, or data by a scanner, etc., and 5a denotes input and processed. A sentence buffer for storing characters and the like, 5b is an image data buffer for storing created image data and read image data, and 5c is a generic name of the storage unit 5 including a dictionary unit, a control program, and the like. When the image data is pasted, the placement reference setting unit 6 that can vary the distance between the two regions based on the cursor position of the text and pastes the image data before executing the paste command. A confirmation display means section 7 for displaying whether such a layout will be provided and for allowing the user to confirm in advance is additionally set.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention.

FIG. 2A shows an image creation screen.

Image data created by inputting from a keyboard, dragging with a mouse or an input pen, and image data read by a scanner are displayed on a screen, and when a paste key of a function is pressed, a paste mode is displayed. Become.

FIGS. 2 (2) and 2 (3) show an operation screen for pasting. The image data created immediately before the current cursor position on the document input screen is pasted while maintaining the mutual positional relationship (FIG. 2 (2) A, C). A layout of one page when pasted as image data with a confirmation key (not shown) is displayed (FIG. 2).
(2) B).

If the position is not ascertained on the confirmation layout display, the cursor is moved (FIG. 2 (3) D) and the shared image data is pasted (FIG. 2 (3) F) and confirmed again (FIG. 2 (3) F).
(3) F) If this is satisfactory, the paste command is actually executed with the execution key (not shown).

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the present invention.

First, when the creation of the image data is completed, the image data is opened at 31. If the end key is pressed after waiting for a key operation at 32, the data is closed at 33 and the screen returns to the initial screen. If the paste key is pressed at 32, the screen shifts to the document input screen at 34, waits for a key operation at 35, and 36 if the cursor movement key is pressed.
The cursor in the document is moved with, and the key operation is waited again with 35. If the paste key is pressed at 35, the image data is stored at 37 in the text buffer. Next, at 38, the image data is closed and the process is terminated. After the paste key is pressed at 35, if the confirmation key is pressed, the layout display is performed at 39 and if the release key is pressed at 40 after the key operation is waited at 40, the layout is displayed.
After returning to the normal screen display in step 1, the process waits for a key operation of step 35.

Also, if no operation key is depressed within a predetermined time at 40, the process waits for 35 key operations as described above.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the present invention, which is a method of calculating a position when pasting image data.

First, the size to be pasted is set to the same size as the image data (the magnification may be set arbitrarily).

Next, in the horizontal direction of the screen, the cursor position from the left end is multiplied by the number of dots of the character at the cursor position and the inter-character dot. In the vertical direction of the screen, the number of lines from the top of the page of the cursor is multiplied by the line feed pitch ((1) in FIG. 4). FIG.
The left side of the equation (1) is the set value of the distance between the two, and by arbitrarily selecting a numerical value other than 0, the distance between the cursor position and the base point (upper left vertex) of the image data can be changed. Further, when the image data protrudes from the frame of one page by the above-mentioned operation, the image data is automatically inserted so that a position obtained by subtracting the width of the image data from the right end is set as a reference point (FIG. 4 (2)). The same processing is performed for the case of protruding from the lower end.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily and accurately paste image data into text data. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the gist.

[0025]

In the image data to be arranged in the text data, the position of the image data to be pasted is based on the cursor in the text data, and the distance between the two regions can be changed. Since the positional relationship can be easily grasped and the layout can be confirmed on the confirmation display before pasting is executed, there is no need to move the pasted data. Therefore, labor can be greatly reduced by eliminating the need for complicated operations as in the related art.
