When a document is created, it is often stored in an external storage device without being completed. For example, a format has been created, but there is data to be entered, the date has not been entered because you do not know when to print, or the work was interrupted due to time constraints, etc. There are cases where an incomplete document is stored for various reasons. In the conventional method, a user himself / herself makes a judgment on an unfinished part when a document is created. When these documents are used by other people, it is necessary to check the documents from the beginning, which is very time-consuming. It is also difficult for the user himself to memorize the state of the document one by one. This is because the conventional document processing device leaves the management to the user himself without taking any measures for the unfinished document.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of the device of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a control device that controls the entire system such as creation and editing of a document and control of other attached devices. Reference numeral 2 denotes a ROM (Read Only Memory) storing the processing procedure of the document processing apparatus, and 3 denotes a RAM (Random Access Memory) for storing text information and temporary data necessary for processing. Call. The control device 1 operates using the main storage device as a work area. 4 is a display device such as an LCD or a CRT,
Displays text information and operation procedures. Reference numeral 5 denotes an input device such as a keyboard, which supplies a character code corresponding to an operated key to the control device 1. This input device is provided with a key for instructing the start of setting of an incomplete discrimination symbol of 51 and a determination key of a symbol of 52 in addition to various symbols. Reference numeral 6 denotes an external storage device such as a floppy disk or a hard disk which stores text information and the like, and can be called up when required by a command from the control device 1.
A printing device 7 prints text information and the like.

The control unit 1 is a text information registration unit 1
a and the notification means 1b.

In the present invention, a user can freely set a symbol. The contents are described below.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the present invention. The special symbol is a symbol indicating an unfinished part in the text information, and may be any symbol that can be handled by the text information processing device. This symbol is stored in advance in a work area (hereinafter, referred to as an unfinished part management area) provided for managing the unfinished part as a symbol indicating the unfinished part (hereinafter, referred to as an unfinished discrimination symbol). deep. In addition, since all the symbols appearing in the text information are determined to indicate an unfinished part, it is desirable to select a symbol which is not usually used.

FIG. 2A shows the contents of the unfinished part management area. What is necessary is just to provide in an arbitrary position of this storage device. Here, the symbol “*” is assigned as an incomplete discrimination symbol. The actual processing flow will be described with reference to FIG.

At 21, it is determined whether the setting start key has been pressed. Do nothing if not pressed.

If the button 22 is pressed, a setting mode is entered, a message is displayed on the display screen, and the input of a symbol is urged. Here, as an example, FIG. 2 (3) in which the symbol “*” is input.

At 23, it is determined whether a legitimate symbol and the enter key have been pressed. Check for missing symbols or multiple entries.

When pressed at 24, the key is
It is set in the unfinished part management area of (1).

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention and shows an example of a text information buffer.

Next, the user inputs the unfinished discrimination symbol set in the unfinished part as described above, which does not require any special operation, and is exactly the same as ordinary text information input means. It is possible to do. In other words, normal text information and unfinished discriminating symbols can be mixed, and unfinished discriminating symbols can be edited in exactly the same way as ordinary symbols. Can be inserted and deleted.

Therefore, the function of the text information processing apparatus itself can be used for the search for an unfinished part, and there is no need for any special work. FIG. 3 shows a state on the input screen.
Since no date has been entered here, an incomplete discrimination symbol is inserted at that location. FIG. 4 shows the actual contents of the text information buffer. In FIG. 4, characters are entered for easy understanding, but the code is actually input. As can be seen, the condition of the unfinished discriminating symbol "*" is not different from other symbols.

Next, a specific method will be described.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention and shows an example of the contents of a storage device.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the present invention.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

The function of managing the unfinished part with the unfinished discrimination symbol is as follows. When the unfinished discrimination symbol set at the time of inputting the text information is input, the unfinished discrimination symbol is set in the unfinished part management area of FIG. Enter the quantity used. Thereafter, the number is increased each time the incomplete discrimination symbol is used. In FIG. 2A, there are two incomplete discrimination symbols. In addition, when deleted, the quantity is reduced, and when it is completely lost, it is stored as quantity 0. Since these incomplete discrimination symbols may increase even when the text string is copied in addition to the normal input, when new text information is added, it is necessary to check the content. Thus, the quantity of the unfinished part management area is 0
If so, it is determined that there is no unfinished part in the sentence information, and 0
Otherwise, it is determined that the sentence information has an unfinished part. As an example, set "〇" as the incomplete discriminator,
FIG. 5B shows the contents of the unfinished part management area when the text of FIG. 5A was created.

Normal text information is also stored in a storage device, including information accompanying text information such as format information and size ruled line information. The contents of the unfinished part management area are also written into the storage device together with the information. At the time of the call, each content is transferred to the main storage device at each location. By doing so, the condition becomes exactly the same as the state before storage.

FIG. 6 shows the storage contents of the sentence information in the main storage device and the storage contents of the external storage device.

Next, as a function for issuing a warning when the text information is used when the text information is incomplete, such as when printing at 71 in the flowchart of FIG. 7 or when copying between external storage devices, etc. First, the number of unfinished discrimination symbols in the unfinished part management area is checked, and if it is not 0, it is determined that the sentence information has an unfinished part, and at 74, a warning is output to the display device, and the unfinished part is output. Call attention to the handling of textual information. If the mode is released at 75, the function continues.

FIG. 8 shows the contents of the 74 warning display.

As described above, according to the present invention, a sentence including an unfinished part and an unfinished part area can be immediately searched by designating the unfinished part area in the sentence information with a preset symbol.

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 carried out with appropriate modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.
