DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creating apparatus capable of erasing document (text) data composed of a plurality of lines of characters or the like input from a keyboard or the like in a specified number of lines.
Data editing method and data editing method , especially when a new block data is input to a line designated to be erased in a text divided into a plurality of blocks by inputting the new block data in the text data. Document creation that can be output without breaking the unit of each block
The present invention relates to a device, a data editing device, and a data editing method .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, new block data is input into text data input over a plurality of lines via a keyboard or the like to divide the text data into a plurality of blocks, and at the same time, when the text data is edited, a predetermined number of blocks are input. A printing device capable of erasing text data line by line has been proposed.

[0003] When editing text data in such a printing apparatus, erasing a line in which new block data is present also erases data serving as an index for delimiting each block. In some cases, text data was collected and it was not possible to edit the text data as intended.

Particularly, in a tape printing apparatus for printing on a long printing medium such as a tape, the printing width in which characters and the like can be printed is limited to a predetermined number of lines (for example, five lines). When the text data of each line is collected between blocks as described above, there is a possibility that printing becomes impossible and error processing is performed.

In order to solve such inconvenience, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 3-358988 discloses that the number of line feed data of each line existing between two line feed data is counted and the line feed data exceeds a predetermined number. In such a case, there is described a tape printing apparatus in which the erasure of the new block data is prohibited in such a case.

According to such a tape printing apparatus, it is possible to prevent data of the number of unprintable lines in one block from being input, thereby improving the usability.

[0007]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Japanese Patent Application No. 3-358 mentioned above.
In the printing apparatus described in Japanese Patent No. 988, when the number of line feed data existing between two new block data exceeds a predetermined number, the erasure of the new line data is prohibited. Although it is possible to prevent the text data from being unintentionally aggregated, there is a possibility that the editing work of the text data may be hindered.

That is, when the number of lines exceeds a predetermined number in one block, the erasure of the new block data in the block is prohibited. Therefore, when the text data is changed or deleted in each block, the data is edited. Cannot be performed flexibly.

As described above, the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. Hei.
However, the tape printer described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-20978 still has insufficient points when focusing on the editing workability of text data.

Next, the operation of the tape printer 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG.
Is a flowchart of an editing processing program. In step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1, first, initialization such as clearing of various memories is performed. Continue, S
At 2, it is determined whether or not a key input has been made from any key on the keyboard 6.

If there is a key input (S2: YES), the flow shifts to S3. On the other hand, if there is no key input (S2: NO), the flow waits until a key input is made. S3
In, it is determined whether or not the key input is a key input from the character input key 2. If the key input is a key input from the character input key 2 (S 3: YES), text input and creation are performed in S 4. After the text data is stored in the text memory 34A, the process returns to S2.

Here, the text memory 34A has the contents shown in FIG.
It is assumed that the text shown in (A) is created and stored. In FIG. 7 (A), the text is composed of eight lines of text data, and line feed data R is provided by a return key 5 at each line from the first line to the third line and at the end of each line from the fifth line to the seventh line. Has been entered. Further, at the end of the fourth and eighth lines, the new block data S is input by the new block key 4. FIG. 8A shows a print example in which the text thus created is printed on the film tape 15 via the thermal head 11.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S3 that the input is not the key input from the character input key 2 (S3: NO), it is determined whether the input is the key input from the line out key E in S5. If it is determined that the input is the key input from the line out key E (S5: YES), the process returns to S2 after performing a line out process described later in S6.

If it is determined in S5 that the input is not a key input from the line-out key E (S5: NO), the flow shifts to S7.
In S7, it is determined whether or not the key input is from the all erase key F. If it is determined that the key input is from the all erasure key F (S7: YES), the entire erasure process described later is performed in S8, and the process returns to S2.

As shown in FIG. 6, the entire erasing process is performed by S
At 15, it is determined whether or not a text exists in the text memory 34A. If there is no text (S15: NO)
The processing is terminated, and if there is a text (S15: YE
S) This is performed by deleting all the texts existing in the text memory 34A in S16. If it is determined in S7 that the input is not a key input from the all erase key F (S7: NO), a process corresponding to the operated key is performed in S9, and the process returns to S2.

Next, the line out processing performed in S6 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 shows a flow chart of the line-out processing program.
After the line out key E is pressed at 10, the last (end of line) in the line specified via the cursor key K
It is determined whether or not new block data has been input to. When new block data is input (S10:
If it is (YES), the process proceeds to S11. On the other hand, if the new block data is not input (S10: NO), there is no possibility that the text data of each line is aggregated between blocks, so the process proceeds to S14.

In S11, it is determined whether another row (previous row) exists before the designated row as described above, and if another row exists before the designated row (S11: YE
In S), it is determined whether or not the new block data is input at the end (end of line) of the previous line in S12. On the other hand, if the previous line does not exist (S11: NO), the process proceeds to S14.

In S12, if there is a new block data at the end of the line preceding the specified line (S12: YES), even if the new block data existing in the specified line is deleted, the text data of each line is collected between blocks. Since there is no fear, the process immediately shifts to S14. On the other hand, if there is no new block data at the end of the line preceding the specified line (S12: NO), if the new block data existing in the specified line is deleted, the text data of each line will be collected between blocks. , S13, the line feed data at the end of the previous line is rewritten to the new block data. Thereafter, in S14, the line where the cursor is present at that time is deleted by one line, and the line-out processing ends.

Here, in the example shown in FIG. 7A, assuming that the eighth row is designated to be erased through the cursor key K as shown by hatching in FIG.
Is YES because the new block data S has been input at the end of the eighth line, and the determinations in S11 and S
At 12, since the previous line without the new block data S at the end of the line exists before the eighth line, the determination in S 11 is YES, and S 12
Is NO, the line feed data R at the end of the seventh line, which is the line preceding the eighth line, is rewritten to the new block data S in S13, and the eighth line where the cursor exists at S14 is rewritten. Is deleted. The state of the text memory 34A at this time is shown in FIG.
It is shown in (C).

Thereafter, when the print key 3 is depressed, the data of the text memory 34A is developed into dot pattern data in the image buffer 34B via the CGROM 33, and the dot pattern data is
Is printed on the film tape 15 via a dot. FIG. 8B shows a printing example printed in this way.

In the above example, the case where one line is designated for deletion by the cursor key K has been described, but it is of course possible to designate a plurality of lines for deletion. In such a case, it is determined whether or not the last line of the plurality of lines designated to be erased in S10 has new block data.
In S11, it is determined whether or not another row exists before the first row of the plurality of rows designated to be erased.
The same processing as in the case of row erasure can be performed.

As described in detail above, according to the tape printer of the present embodiment, when there is a line feed block at the end of the line designated to be erased by the cursor key K, the line feed preceding the line designated to be erased Since the data is rewritten to the new block data and the line specified to be erased is erased together with the new block data, the new block data is input to the line specified to be erased in the text divided into multiple blocks by the new block data. In this case, the new block data can be erased without breaking the unit of each block. This makes it possible to flexibly and easily perform data editing operations such as changing and deleting text data in each block.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0053]

As described above, according to the present invention, even when new block data is input to a line designated to be erased in a text divided into a plurality of blocks by new block data, the unit of each block is broken. A document creation device, a data editing device, and a data editing method capable of erasing new block data without any change, and performing flexible and easy data editing operations such as changing and deleting text data in each block. It can be provided, and its industrial effect is great.
