Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus capable of displaying a specific character without depending on a font pattern of a character pattern storage unit.

(Prior Art) In a document processing apparatus, a user can create a pattern of characters or symbols that the processing apparatus or printer does not have as a standard and register the pattern in an external character area, so-called external character registration. However, since different users generally have different users, the external character patterns assigned to the same code and registered usually do not match. In other words, the external characters for the same code are different between different devices, or the external characters of the same pattern are not registered in many cases. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG.
When a document file created by the device A to which is assigned is processed by another device B to which the symbol "●" is assigned to the character code "1234" as shown in FIG. 8B, "O" is displayed. In some cases, the part to be performed was displayed as "●" and was not displayed correctly.

There is also a method of adding a character pattern to a document and registering it in an external character area in the processing device. However, if the above-described document file is processed by a device C having character pattern data as shown in FIG. Since the area of the character code “1234” is rewritten, the character pattern registered in the device C in advance is lost, and the document file created by the device C may not be displayed correctly.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and aims at enabling any device to correctly display a character pattern such as an external character without destroying the original character pattern of the device. Is what you do.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a first character pattern data storage unit in which first commonly used external character pattern data is registered, and a second external character pattern uniquely used in a document file. An input unit for inputting a document file to which data is attached; a document processing unit for performing document processing of the document file input by the input unit; and a document processing unit for processing the input document file. When a second external character pattern data to be registered is registered and the registration is deleted after the document processing is completed, a second character pattern data storage unit, and when reading out the corresponding character pattern data by specifying a character code, First, the second character pattern data storage unit is accessed, and if there is no specified character pattern in the second character pattern data storage unit, the first character pattern data storage unit is accessed. A control unit that controls the storage unit to access the character pattern data storage unit, and an output unit that visualizes the pattern data of the document including the read character pattern data.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided only one character pattern data storage unit for storing character pattern data, and a part of the character pattern data stored in the character pattern data storage unit is saved. When the character code corresponding to the second external character pattern data attached to the document file is registered in the character pattern data storage unit before the document processing of the document file, The first external character pattern data corresponding to the character code is saved in the save data storage unit, and the second external character pattern data is registered in the character pattern data storage unit. The registration of the pattern data is deleted, and the character pattern data saved in the save data storage unit is restored to the character pattern data storage unit. The control unit has that.

(Function) The present invention creates a character pattern data area of an external character as shown in FIG. 2 comprising a set of a character code and a corresponding character pattern to be displayed in a document file, and converts the document file into a certain document processing apparatus. When processing is performed in step (1), character pattern data is also read or written when a file is read or written.

If a different character pattern is registered in the device for the character code representing the read character pattern,
The character pattern read from the document file is used so that the character pattern registered in the device before reading the document file is not lost. When the processing of the document file is completed, the status of the character pattern data of the device is changed to this document. Return to the state before the file was processed. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the first character pattern data storage unit in which first commonly used external character pattern data is registered, a second character that stores second external character pattern data attached to a document file A pattern data storage unit is provided, in which the second external character pattern data read from the document file is registered, and the second character pattern data storage unit is accessed preferentially.

Further, in another aspect of the present invention, a save data storage unit is provided in addition to the normal character pattern data storage unit, and different external character pattern data is stored for the second external character pattern data read by the input unit. If registered in the device, the character code and the first character pattern data in the character pattern data storage unit are saved in the save data storage unit, and then the second external character turn data of the document file is saved in the character pattern data storage unit. Register with the department. Access is made only to the character pattern data storage unit. When the processing of the document file is completed, the saved character code and the first external character pattern are returned to the character pattern data storage unit.

Therefore, the present invention enables any device to correctly display a character pattern such as an external character without destroying the original character pattern of the device.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a document processing unit 1 that performs a document creation / editing process
A control unit 2 for controlling each unit; a storage unit 3 for storing various information necessary for processing; and an output unit 4 such as a display device or a printer. The storage unit 3 has a specific character pattern storage unit 32 which is a feature of the present invention, in addition to a conventional external character pattern data storage unit 31 for storing external character patterns. When there is a request to read a character pattern required for display, the control unit 2 first accesses the specific character pattern storage unit 32, and when there is no desired character turn in the specific character pattern data storage unit 32, the character pattern data It is configured to perform a call control of a storage unit having a priority such as accessing the storage unit 31.

Generally, a document file includes a document attribute information area and a text area. In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, a document file 8 is used for the document in addition to the document attribute information area 5 and the text area 7. And has a unique character pattern data area 6 created in such a manner.

The processing operation of the character pattern data according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. 3 showing the contents of the storage unit and FIG.

In the document processing apparatus of this embodiment, the character pattern data storage unit 31 and the specific character pattern data storage unit 32 store the third
It is assumed that a character code and a character pattern as shown in FIG.

When a character file stored in a storage medium or the like is input for processing or display, first, the document file 8 is read, and the read character pattern data 6 is converted into a specific character pattern as shown in FIG. The data is stored in the data storage unit 32 (FIG. 4A). In this example, the character pattern “○” to which the character code 1234 is assigned is additionally registered in the specific character pattern data storage unit 32.

When there is a request from the document processing unit 1 to read out character pattern data required for display by designating a character code, the specific character pattern data storage unit 32 is first accessed. When the specified character code is found in the specific character pattern storage unit 32, the corresponding character pattern data is read. On the other hand, when there is no pattern data of the designated character code in the specific character pattern data storage unit 32 in FIG.
Data is read from the character pattern data storage unit 31 (FIG. 4B). When the processing of the document file is completed, the character pattern unique to the document file is deleted from the specific character pattern data storage unit 32 (FIG. 4 (C)).

In the present embodiment, a character pattern specific to each document file is attached to the document file, and when the document file is edited, the character pattern is registered in the specific character pattern data storage unit 32 of the document processing apparatus, and the storage unit 32 Is preferentially accessed, so that the character pattern of the external character used for the document can be reliably read. For example, in FIG. 3B, the character code 1234 is "●" in the pattern registered in the character pattern data storage unit 31 which is the external character area of the document processing apparatus. The pattern is “○”, and even if the character patterns for the same character code are different, a correct character pattern can be read. Also, at this time, even if the pattern of the document file is read into the apparatus, a dedicated area (specific character pattern data storage 3
Since there is 2), there is no danger of destroying the character pattern registered in the external character pattern area (character pattern data storage unit 31) of the apparatus.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, a document processing unit 1 for performing a document creation / editing process, a control unit 2 for controlling each unit, and various information necessary for the process are stored. A storage unit 3 and an output unit 4 such as a display device and a printer are provided. The storage unit 3 has a specific character pattern save data storage unit 33 which is a feature of the present invention, in addition to a conventional character pattern data storage unit 31 for storing external character patterns.

In the document processing apparatus of the present embodiment, the character pattern data storage unit 31 and the specific character pattern save data storage unit 33
It is assumed that a character code and a character pattern as shown in FIG. 6 (A) have already been stored.

When a document file stored in a storage medium or the like is input for processing or display, first, the document file 8 is read, and the read character pattern data is stored as shown in FIG. 6 (B). Part 31
To memorize. At the time of the storage, it is checked whether or not the data of the same character code is already stored. If the data of the same character code exists, the data is saved to the save data storage unit 33 and then the character pattern data storage unit is saved.
Registered in 31 (FIG. 7 (A)). In the example of FIG. 6, since the character code 1234 has already been assigned and registered in the character pattern data storage unit 31 to the character pattern “●”, the existing data is saved in the save data storage unit 33, The character pattern “○” is registered in the pattern data storage unit 31.

When there is a read request for character pattern data to be displayed by designating a character code from the document processing unit 1, the data is read from the character pattern data storage unit 31 as in the conventional case (FIG. 7A). When the processing of the document file is completed,
The data saved in the save data storage unit 33 is restored to the original position in the character pattern data storage unit 31, and is deleted from the save data storage unit 33 (FIG. 7 (C)).

According to the second embodiment, at the time of reading, only the character pattern data storage unit 31 is accessed, so that processing can be performed at higher speed.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, in addition to the first character pattern data storage unit in which the first commonly used external character pattern data is registered, the second external character pattern data attached to the document file is stored. Character pattern data storage unit, the second external character pattern data read from the document file is registered in the character pattern data storage unit, and the second character pattern data storage unit is accessed preferentially. The pattern can be reliably read from the processing device. Further, even if the character pattern data of the external character of the document file is read into the device, there is a second character pattern data storage portion which is a dedicated area for that, so the first character pattern data storage portion which is a character pattern region of the device. There is no danger of destroying the character pattern data of the external character registered in.

Further, according to the configuration of the present invention in which the save data storage unit is provided, the reading can be performed at a higher speed because the character pattern data storage unit is simply accessed.
