DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus provided for, for example, a Japanese word processor or a computer and capable of inputting and editing ruled lines.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an information processing apparatus such as a Japanese word processor capable of inputting text data such as characters and ruled lines and editing the text data is provided with data on the starting point position and length of a ruled line drawn immediately before. And a function of using this data for drawing the next ruled line. For example, after subtracting the lateral ruled lines SL _1, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), when you move the cursor down pressing the "border" key, FIG. (B)
As shown in the row where the cursor C, the horizontal ruled lines SL ₁ and the starting point position and length can be drawn to the same horizontal rule SL _2.

Further, in order to change the starting point position and length of the stored ruled line as described above, it is necessary to draw a new ruled line having the intended starting point position and length.

[0004]

However, the data of the starting point position and the length of the ruled line is stored as in the above-mentioned prior art,
In an information processing apparatus that uses this for editing a ruled line, the starting point position and length of the stored ruled line cannot be easily changed, and thus there are the following problems (1) to (4). .

(1) If a ruled line is erroneously drawn at a different position or a ruled line is drawn a little longer, the erroneous starting point position and length of the ruled line are stored, so the correct ruled line must be drawn again. In this case, the correct ruled line cannot be stored. In other words, it is easy to correct an incorrect ruled line, but it is not possible to store the starting point position and length of the correct ruled line.

[0006] For example, to want to draw the starting point position and length horizontal ruled lines SL _1, such as shown in FIG. 13, the horizontal incorrectly ruled SL ₂
Such as when and had drawn as horizontal lines SL _3. Horizontal ruled line
In SL _2, can be corrected by removing the part b added a portion, also, only the horizontal lines SL _3, it can be corrected by removing the part b, So correction portion is stored, the horizontal ruled lines The starting point position and length such as SL ₁ are not stored.

(2) Rule line enlargement, rule line reduction, rule line movement,
Even when the ruled line is copied, the stored starting point position and length of the ruled line are not updated. Therefore, in order to store the new starting point position and length, the correct ruled line must be drawn again.

For example, a horizontal ruled line as shown in FIG.
After subtracting SL _1, when running the "horizontal expansion", the horizontal ruled lines SL ₁ described above is enlarged one character as shown in FIG. (B). However, after that, if you move the cursor down to draw horizontal lines SL ₂ as shown in FIG. 5 (c) to perform the "ruled paper", in fact, as shown in FIG. 2 (d), horizontal ruled line below the SL _1, horizontal ruled lines SL ₂ in length before expansion will be drawn.

(3) When a plurality of ruled lines are input (a plurality of horizontal ruled lines on the same line and a plurality of vertical ruled lines on the same line), when the next ruled line is drawn, the start position and length of the previous ruled line are erased. Would.

For this reason, if it is desired to draw a ruled line at the previous start point position and length again, it cannot be drawn with the "horizontal ruled" and "vertical ruled" keys, and must be stored again.

For example, a horizontal ruled line as shown in FIG.
Pull the SL ₁ and the lateral ruled lines SL ₂ in this order, then, to draw horizontal lines SL _3, as indicated in the figure (b), when you move the cursor press "ruled paper" key, in fact, Figure (c)
As shown in, under the horizontal ruled line SL _2, horizontal lines SL ₃ will be drawn.

(4) The stored data of the starting point position and length of the ruled line is erased once the sentence is erased or the power is turned off. Therefore, when the ruled line is drawn again next time, it cannot be drawn with the "horizontal ruled" and "vertical ruled" keys, and must be stored again.

mory) 2 and ROM (ReadOn
ly Memory) 3 are connected via an address bus / data bus.

The RAM 2 is formed with a vertical and horizontal ruled line length storage area and a vertical and horizontal ruled line position storage area, and stores the data of the vertical and horizontal ruled line lengths and the starting point position according to a user's designation as described later. It is configured as a storage unit that performs the operation. The ROM 3 stores the data of the ruled line length after the change and the data of the starting point position in the ruled line length storage area and the ruled line position storage area of the RAM 2 in accordance with the enlargement or reduction of each of the vertical and horizontal ruled lines. A ruled line storage updating routine to be updated is programmed and configured as a ruled line storage updating means.
Have been.

The CPU 1 via the address bus / data bus as described above has a display device ( display means ) 4 for displaying text data, and a keyboard for inputting information such as text data by user's key operation. ( Input means ) 5
And a printer 6 for printing text data, and a floppy disk (hereinafter, FD) for loading and saving text data.
7) and IC (Integrated Circuit) card 8
Are connected via a display controller 9, a key interface 10, a printer controller 11, an FD controller 12, and an IC card interface 13, respectively.

The keyboard 5 is provided with each function key for performing an editing operation such as enlarging / reducing each of the vertical and horizontal ruled lines.

In the above configuration, an example of editing a ruled line in the present word processor will be described in the following three execution examples. In the following description, only the horizontal ruled line will be described, and for the vertical ruled line, “horizontal” and “column” described in the description of the horizontal ruled line will be referred to as “vertical” and “line”.
Can be captured as a similar description.

Pressing each of the function keys of "enlarge horizontal rule" and "reduce horizontal rule", the horizontal rule is enlarged / reduced, and the length and start position of the stored rule are enlarged / reduced.
First, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2, it is determined which of the function keys “enlarge horizontal rule” or “reduce horizontal rule” of the keyboard 5 is pressed and executed (S).
1). If it is determined in step S1 that the "horizontal rule" function key has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S2. If it is determined that the "horizontal rule reduction" function key has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S9. I do.

In S2, it is determined whether or not there is a horizontal ruled line at the cursor position, and if it is determined that there is a horizontal ruled line, the process proceeds to S2.
Move to 3. Then, the length of the horizontal ruled line is enlarged by one character (S3). Thereafter, based on the ruled line storage update routine of the ROM 3, the length of the expanded horizontal ruled line and the starting point position are newly stored in the RAM 2 in the horizontal ruled line length. Memorize in the area (S4),
End the step.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S2 that there is no horizontal ruled line, the flow shifts to S5, and the horizontal ruled line is shifted to the right of the cursor by one.
It is determined whether or not there are more books. If it is determined in S5 that there are no horizontal ruled lines, the process is terminated. If it is determined that there are horizontal ruled lines, all of those horizontal ruled lines are set to 1
It is moved to the right by characters (S6), and it is then determined whether or not the stored starting point of the ruled line is to the right of the cursor position (S7).

If it is determined in step S7 that the starting point of the ruled line is not to the right of the cursor position, the process is terminated. If it is determined that the starting point of the ruled line is to the right of the cursor position, the process proceeds to step S7. The start position of the moved horizontal ruled line is newly stored in the RAM 2 based on the storage update routine.
Is stored in the horizontal ruled line position storage area (S8), and the step ends.

In S9, when the "reduce horizontal rule" function key is pressed, it is determined whether or not there is a horizontal ruled line at the cursor position. If it is determined in S9 that there is a horizontal ruled line, the process proceeds to S10. If it is determined that there is no horizontal ruled line, the process proceeds to S14. In S10,
It is determined whether or not the length of the right side portion of the horizontal ruled line from the cursor position is longer than one character. If the length is shorter than one character (the horizontal ruled line length is minimum), error processing such as sounding a beep sound is performed. (S11), and the step is ended. Meanwhile, 1
If the length is longer than the characters, the length of the horizontal ruled line is reduced by one character (S12). Thereafter, based on the ruled line storage update routine of the ROM 3, the length and the starting point position of the reduced horizontal ruled line are newly stored in the RAM2. Stored in the horizontal ruled line length storage area (S1
3), end the step.

On the other hand, in S14, it is determined whether or not two or more blanks are continuous on the right side of the cursor position. If it is determined in S14 that two or more blanks are not continuous, error processing such as sounding a beep is performed (S11), and the process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined that two or more blanks are continuous, it is next determined whether there is one or more horizontal ruled lines on the right side of the cursor. S
If it is determined in step 15 that there is no horizontal ruled line, the process ends. If it is determined that there is a horizontal ruled line, the horizontal ruled lines are all moved to the left by one character (S16). Then, it is determined whether or not the starting point position of the stored ruled line is on the right side of the cursor position (S17).

If it is determined in step S17 that the starting point of the ruled line is not to the right of the cursor position, the process is terminated. If it is determined that the starting point of the ruled line is to the right of the cursor position, the process proceeds to step S17. Based on the storage update routine, the starting point of the moved horizontal ruled line is newly stored in the RAM.
2 is stored in the horizontal ruled line position storage area (S18), and the step ends.

Next, in each of the execution operations of "horizontal rule enlargement" and "horizontal rule reduction" as described above, the case where there is a horizontal ruled line at the cursor position and the case where there is no horizontal ruled line at the cursor position are shown in FIG. This will be described below with reference to a) to (c) to FIGS. 4 (a) to (c).

(When there is a horizontal ruled line at the cursor position) FIG.
(A), the a minus horizontal ruled line _{SL 1 · SL 2 · SL 3} , and a vertical line LL ₁ · LL _2. Here, when executing the "ruled paper expansion" at the position of the cursor C shown in the figure, as shown in FIG. (B), horizontal ruled line SL ₂ is enlarged one character, the horizontal ruled lines SL ₁ · SL ₃ It will be the same length. Running again "ruled paper expansion", as shown in FIG. (C), horizontal ruled line SL ₂ is further enlarged by one character, the length is longer than the horizontal lines SL ₁ · SL _3. Conversely, when running "ruled paper reduction" in the state of FIG. (C), as shown in FIG. (B), horizontal ruled line SL ₂ is 1
When the character is reduced by the character and "Horizontal Rule Reduction" is performed again,
As shown in FIG. (A), horizontal ruled line SL ₂ is further reduced by one character.

(When there is no horizontal ruled line at the cursor position) FIG.
(A), the a minus horizontal ruled line _{SL 1 · SL 2 · SL 3} , and a vertical line LL ₁ · LL _2. Here, when executing the "ruled paper expansion" at the position of the cursor C shown in the figure, as shown in FIG. (B), horizontal ruled line SL ₂ is moved parallel to the right by one character. When "horizontal rule enlargement" is executed again, FIG.
As such, the lateral ruled lines SL ₂ is further moved parallel to the right. When running "ruled paper reduction" in the reverse (c) state, as shown in FIG. (B), horizontal ruled line SL ₂ is moved parallel to the left one character, running again "ruled paper reduction" , as shown in FIG. (a), horizontal ruled line SL ₂ is further moved parallel to the left one character.

In accordance with the above-described horizontal ruled line enlargement / reduction operation, the storage area of the horizontal ruled line length and position of the RAM 2 is enlarged / reduced by the ruled line storage update routine of the ROM 3 respectively. The length and starting point position of the succeeding horizontal ruled line are changed and stored.

For this reason, when the "horizontal rule" function key is pressed in another row in each of the above-described states of FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (c) and FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c), Horizontal ruled lines of the length and the starting point position shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C and FIGS. 6A to 6C are respectively drawn.

: "Lateral enlargement", "lateral reduction", "ruled line movement"
When the length of the horizontal ruled line and the starting point position are automatically changed and stored when the "ruled line copying" is executed. First, as shown in the flowchart of FIG.
It is determined whether "horizontal reduction", "ruled line movement", and "ruled line copying" are performed (S21). If it is determined in S21 that “horizontal enlargement” or “horizontal reduction” has been normally performed, the process proceeds to S22, while it is determined that “move ruled line” or “ruled line copy” has been normally performed. In this case, the process proceeds to S26.

In S22, it is determined whether or not there is a horizontal ruled line at the digit position of the cursor. If it is determined that there is a horizontal ruled line, the flow shifts to S23. Then, the length and the starting point position of the horizontal ruled line after enlargement or reduction are newly stored (S2
3), end the step.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S22 that there is no horizontal ruled line, the flow shifts to S24, where it is determined whether or not the stored horizontal ruled line is to the right of the cursor (S2).
4). If it is determined in S24 that the starting point of the ruled line is not to the right of the cursor position, the process is terminated. If it is determined that the starting point of the ruled line is to the right of the cursor position, the routine for updating the ruled line storage in the ROM 3 is executed. , The start position of the moved horizontal ruled line is newly stored in the horizontal ruled line position storage area of the RAM 2 (S25), and the step is terminated.

Also, "ruled line movement" or "ruled line copying"
In S26, where it has been determined that has been executed normally, it is determined whether or not the stored horizontal ruled line position is within the area of "ruled line movement" or "ruled line copying". S26
If it is determined that the image does not fall within the area of "ruled line movement" or "ruled line copy", the process is terminated, while it is determined that the image is within the area of "ruled line movement" or "ruled line copy". In this case, the position of the moved or copied horizontal ruled line is newly stored in the horizontal ruled line position storage area of the RAM 2 based on the ruled line storage update routine of the ROM 3 (S
27), end the step.

Next, "horizontal expansion" and "horizontal reduction" as described above
Is performed based on FIGS. 8A to 8D.
The execution operations of “move ruled line” and “copy ruled line” are shown in FIGS.
Each will be described below based on (d). In the following description, for the sake of convenience, in the description of “horizontal enlargement” and “horizontal reduction”, only “horizontal enlargement” will be described, and in the description of “ruled line movement” and “ruled line copying”, only “ruled line movement” will be described. It is to explain.

[0045] As shown in ( "horizontal expansion" of the execution Operation) FIG. 8 (a), after subtracting the horizontal ruled line SL ₁ · SL _2, and a vertical ruled line LL ₁ · LL _2, the cursor shown in FIG. When the "horizontal rule" is pressed at the position of C, the horizontal rule line SL ₃ having the starting point position and length shown in FIG.
Is drawn. Next, after performing “horizontal enlargement” as shown in FIG. 10C, pressing “horizontal rule” at the position of the cursor C shown in FIG. A horizontal ruled line SL ₄ is drawn. This is because when the “horizontal enlargement” is performed, the length of the horizontal ruled line stored in the horizontal ruled line length storage area of the RAM 2 is stored in the ROM 3.
Are automatically updated based on the ruled line storage update routine.

[0046] As shown in ( "border movement" of the execution operation) FIG. 9 (a), the after subtracting the horizontal ruled line SL ₁ · SL _2, and a vertical ruled line LL ₁ · LL _2, the cursor shown in FIG. "Horizontal rule" at position C
Is pressed, the horizontal ruled line SL of the starting point position and length shown in FIG.
₃ is subtracted. Next, after performing "ruled line movement" as shown in FIG. 14C, when "horizontal rule" is pressed at the position of the cursor C shown in FIG. Ruled line SL ₄
Is drawn. This is when the "ruled line enlargement" is performed.
This is the result of automatically updating the position of the horizontal ruled line stored in the horizontal ruled line position storage area No. 2 based on the ruled line storage update routine of the ROM 3.

In the case where the length of the horizontal ruled line and the starting point position are automatically changed and stored after the execution of “horizontal rule storage” and “vertical / horizontal rule storage” (“vertical / horizontal rule storage” means This is to perform “horizontal rule storage” and “vertical rule storage” at once, and the following description is omitted for convenience.) First, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. Then, it is determined whether or not the area is specified (S31). And S31
If it is determined that the area has been designated, the process proceeds to S3.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the area has not been designated, the process proceeds to S34.

At S32, it is determined whether there is only one type of horizontal ruled line in the designated area. If there is no horizontal ruled line or if there are two or more types of horizontal ruled lines, error processing such as sounding a beep is performed. (S33), and the step ends. On the other hand, when there is only one type of horizontal ruled line, the starting point position and length of the horizontal ruled line are newly stored in the horizontal ruled line position storage area and the horizontal ruled line length storage area of the RAM 2 based on the ruled line storage update routine of the ROM 3. (S35), and the step ends.

In S34, where it is determined in S31 that no area has been designated, it is determined whether or not there is a horizontal ruled line at the cursor position. If it is determined in S34 that there is a horizontal ruled line, the process proceeds to S35. Then, in S35, RO
The start position and length of the horizontal ruled line are newly stored in the horizontal ruled line position storage area and the horizontal ruled line length storage area of the RAM 2 based on the ruled line storage update routine of M3, and the process is terminated.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S34 that there is no horizontal ruled line, the flow shifts to S36. In S36, it is determined whether there is only one horizontal ruled line in the cursor line. At S36,
If it is determined that there is only one horizontal ruled line, the process proceeds to S35. On the other hand, in S36, if there is no horizontal ruled line,
If it is determined that there are more books, error processing such as sounding a beep is performed (S37), and the step ends.

Next, the respective execution operations of the ruled line designation by the cursor in the "horizontal rule storage" and the area designation by the "horizontal rule storage" as described above are shown in FIGS. 11 (a) to 11 (c) and FIG. This will be described below based on 11 (d) to (f).
