[Industrial applications]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for storing defined characters when data is created using user-defined characters arbitrarily defined by a user in a document processing apparatus such as a personal computer or a workstation.

Recently, when document processing is performed on a personal computer or a workstation used for information processing, a user registers an arbitrary character pattern necessary for reading and displaying or printing the registered character pattern. User-defined characters are actively used.

Therefore, models capable of registering user-defined characters are increasing. This user-defined character is stored together with the basic character pattern in a magnetic disk device or the like.
When the user freely registers user-defined characters on each device, if a user tries to display or print a document created on one device on another device, the user-defined characters will be replaced with another character, or displayed or printed. Or become impossible.

Therefore, there is a demand for a method of storing defined characters that can easily and centrally manage user-defined characters.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional document processing apparatus is configured as shown in FIG. That is, the device is in the area 1 for storing the program.
-1, a data area 1-2 for storing data, a dictionary 2-1 for converting reading input into a character code, a magnetic disk 2 having a user-defined character registration area 2-2, and data created by a user. It comprises a floppy disk 3 which operates as a file to be stored and a microprocessor (hereinafter MPU) 4 which controls the operation of the apparatus based on a program.

When user-defined characters are used when creating data (when the codes of the user-defined characters exist in the data), if the data needs to be displayed and printed, the user-defined character registration area 2 -2, necessary character patterns are transferred to a display memory or a printer to display data,
Perform printing.

When the document creation is completed, the data in the data area 1-2 is stored on the floppy disk 3. Printing or display is performed using the floppy disk 3.

What has been described above is the general structure of a document processing apparatus in which user-defined characters can be registered.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

As described above, a floppy disk storing data created by the conventional method can be used without any problem on the device that created the data, but if you try to display or print on another device, the data will be transferred to that device. When registered user-defined characters are different in the created device, there is a problem that the user-defined characters cannot be displayed or printed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a document processing apparatus which can centrally manage definition characters created by a user and easily display or print even if the apparatus is different from the conventional situation described above. .

[Means for solving the problem]

The present invention relates to a document processing device having a conversion processing function, comprising: storage means for storing document information and user-defined characters in a portable storage medium; and user-defined characters stored in the portable storage medium. Are stored in the storage means storing different user-defined characters, and when editing the document information stored in the portable storage medium, the reading stored in the portable storage medium is performed by an input reading conversion instruction. Processing means for displaying the corresponding user-defined character and displaying the user-defined character corresponding to the reading stored in the storage means with a further instruction to make the user-defined character undesirable.

In addition, in addition to the above configuration, when the user-defined character of the storage unit is determined as a conversion character corresponding to the reading, the processing unit stores the user-defined character in the portable storage medium by the storage unit. It is a user-defined character stored in.

[Action]

According to the present invention, the created document information and the user-defined characters used in the document information are stored in the portable storage medium, and the user-defined characters different from the above are stored in the storage means of the document processing apparatus. Is stored.

In order to use user-defined characters when editing a document, the user inputs a reading corresponding to the user-defined character and gives a conversion instruction, and the processing means converts the user-defined character corresponding to the reading into a portable type. A search is performed from among the user-defined characters stored in the storage medium, and if there is a corresponding user-defined character, it is displayed.

The user gives a further conversion instruction when the displayed user-defined character is not desired, and by this further conversion instruction,
The processing means searches whether or not the corresponding user-defined character exists in the storage means, and if so, displays the user-defined character.

Thus, when a user who has created document information in a certain document processing apparatus edits the document information in another user's document processing apparatus, the user himself creates and stores the document information in a portable storage medium. In addition to the existing user-defined characters, user-defined characters created by other users can be used, so that it is not necessary to create new user-defined characters.

Further, when character conversion is confirmed when a user-defined character created by another user is displayed, the processing means registers the user-defined character as a user-defined character to be stored in the portable storage medium. .

At the end of the document editing, when the user-defined character created by another user is used, the user-defined character created by the other user is stored in the portable storage medium by the storage unit. Therefore, the work of creating and registering the user-defined character can be omitted.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The apparatus includes a memory 1 having an area 1-1 for storing a program, a data area 1-2 for storing data, and a user-defined character area 1-3. , Dictionary 2-1 and user-defined character registration area 2
-2, a floppy disk 3 for storing data, an MPU 4 for controlling the device, a CRT 5 for displaying data, and a display memory 6.

In the user-defined character registration area 2-2 of the magnetic disk 2, a character code and a character pattern are registered as shown in the figure. When the user registers a defined character, press the keyboard (not shown) and enter the character pattern and reading
The character code is converted by the dictionary 2-1 by operating the keyboard, and the character code and the character pattern are registered in the user-defined character area 2-2.

The user-defined character storage device 1-3 also stores character codes and character patterns, and this storage is temporary. This storage stores user-defined characters used during data creation. Therefore, user-defined characters that are not in the user-defined character storage area 1-3 during data creation are transferred from the magnetic disk 2.

The portable storage medium described in the claims corresponds to the floppy disk 3 of the present embodiment, and the storage means described in the claims corresponds to the magnetic disk 2 of the present embodiment. The storage unit and the processing unit described in the claims correspond to the MPU 4 of the present embodiment.

 Next, the processing operation of the apparatus of this embodiment will be described.

When displaying the already created data, the character code stored in the data area 1-2 on the memory is replaced with the CG-
The character pattern is changed into a character pattern by the CG on the ROM or the magnetic disk and written into the display memory 6. In the data area 1-2 in FIG. 1, a character corresponding to the user-defined character, such as point A 'in the data, If the code 81A1 exists, the character pattern (20) corresponding to the character code 81A1 is written to the display memory 6 with reference to the user-defined character storage area 1-3.

In the case of newly creating data, when reading is input from the keyboard, the MPU 4 reads the dictionary 2-1 on the magnetic disk 2.
Is converted to a character code, and the data area 1 of the memory 1
-2.

At this time, the characters to be entered are user-defined characters (for example,
In the case of (character pattern at point B '), the user-defined character storage area 1-3 of the memory 1 is referred to. Absent. In this case, referring to the user-defined character registration area 2-2 on the magnetic disk, 81A1 which is a character code corresponding to reading is obtained, and a character pattern corresponding to the character code 81A1 is stored in B of the display memory 6. Write to position.

Unless the operator sees the character displayed on the CRT 5 and performs the cancel operation, the unused character code (81A5) and the character pattern in the user-defined character storage area 1-3 are stored in the user-defined character storage area on the memory. Temporarily store in 1-3.

When the data is stored in the floppy disk 3 after the data creation is completed, the user-defined character storage area 1-3 is stored together with the data area 1-2.

When adding or modifying the data by another device, the data and the user-defined characters used for the data are loaded from the floppy disk 3 into the data area 1-2 and the user-defined character storage area 1-3 on the memory. .

The display is performed according to the procedure described in the section. Additions and modifications are also performed according to the procedure described in the section.
In some cases, a different character pattern is assigned to the same code as the user-defined character already used. In FIG. 1, data already created by another device exists in the data area 1-2 of the memory 1, and the character code 81 is used as a user-defined character.
A1, character pattern (20) is used. Here, when inputting as a user-defined character, since the device is different, a character pattern is assigned to the same character code 81A1 (the user-defined character registration area 2 of the magnetic disk 2).
-2).

In the above case, when you input the reading from the keyboard,
It is converted into a character code 81A1 by the dictionary 2-1 and stored at point B 'in the data area. Since this character code is a user-defined character code, the MPU stores the user-defined character storage area 1
-3, and writes the corresponding character pattern (20) into the display memory. Since the character (20) displayed on the CRT 5 is not the desired character, the operator performs reconversion by operating the keyboard (pressing a conversion key or the like).

When there is a re-conversion instruction, the MPU refers to the user-defined character registration area 2-2 of the magnetic disk 2 and writes a character pattern corresponding to the character code 81A1 at the position of the display memory B. Here, it is necessary to register the used character pattern in the user-defined character storage area 1-3 of the memory 1.
Cannot be registered as character code 81A1.

Therefore, only when the character pattern of the user-defined character registration area 2-2 on the magnetic disk is used by the re-conversion, it is registered as an unused character code in the user-defined character storage area 1-3 on the memory. In the case of FIG. 1, the character codes 81A1 through 81A1 are already stored in the user-defined character storage area 1-3.
Assuming that up to 81A4 is used, a character pattern is registered as a character code 81A5.

In this case, it is necessary to replace the data 81A1 at the position B 'of the data area 1-2 of the memory 1 with 81A5.

When the data is stored on the floppy disk 3 after the additional correction is completed, the user-defined character 1-3 is stored together with the data area 1-2 in the same manner as in the item.

According to the above method, all user-defined characters used for data are stored together with data together with the character code and character pattern. Therefore, the data can be displayed and printed on a device other than the created device without any trouble.

Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

This is the state of (a) when a document is created / corrected. First, data is input using a keyboard (b). The data is converted into character codes by the dictionary 2-1 and stored in the data area 1-2 of the memory (c).

The MPU 4 determines whether the character code is a user-defined character code (d). If the character code is not a user-defined character, the MPU 4 performs normal processing, that is, selects a character pattern from a CG-ROM or the like and stores the character pattern in the display memory. Continue writing (e).

If it is a user-defined character, it refers to the user-defined character storage area 1-3 on the memory 1 (F) and checks whether there is a matching character code (G). If there is a matched character code, the character pattern is written into the display memory 6 and CRT5
(H). The user determines whether or not the displayed character pattern is the intended one (i). If it is the target, enter the following data (b).

If there is no target character pattern, the user issues a re-conversion instruction. When there is a re-conversion instruction, the MPU 4 refers to the user-defined character registration area 2-2 of the magnetic disk (nu). The corresponding character pattern is written in the display memory 6 and displayed on the CRT 5.

If there is no instruction for re-conversion by the user, the character pattern is added to the user-defined character storage area 1-3 of the memory 1 as another unused character code (R), and the data in the data area 1-2 is added. Replace the above character code with the character code used (ヲ) and input the next data (b).

If no matching character code is found in (g), the user-defined character registration area 2-2 of the magnetic disk 2 is referred to (w), the corresponding character pattern is written in the display memory 6, and displayed on the CRT 5, and then the character pattern is displayed. The pattern and the character code are added to the user-defined character storage area 1-3 (f). Then, the next data is input (b).

The above processing is repeated, and when the document creation / correction processing is completed, the data in the data area 1-2 on the memory 1 and the user-defined characters in the user-defined character storage area 1-3 are stored in the floppy disk 3. (Y), and the process is terminated (T).

Therefore, the used user-defined characters are stored on the floppy disk, and the required document can be displayed and printed on another device.

〔The invention's effect〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention,
By centrally managing defined characters created by users,
Since the characters defined by the user can be used in a plurality of devices, it is possible to save the trouble of creating and registering new user-defined characters.

Therefore, the processing efficiency of document creation / correction can be improved, and thus a very effective effect is achieved in document processing.
