TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a data processing device, and is particularly suitable for use in a portable information terminal such as a PHS (Personal Handy-phone System) terminal.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Existing portable information terminals have a function of temporarily copying text data received by e-mail or text data created by a user into a memo area, and pasting and using the data in various data processing. For example, only the company name or name can be copied from the received mail data and pasted into the telephone number table or pasted into the title area of the outgoing mail. This copy / paste function is an indispensable function particularly in a device such as a PHS terminal that inputs text data by operating a small numeric keypad, since the trouble of inputting characters can be omitted.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional portable information terminals and the like, the data input format (attribute) may be set in advance in the character input area. For example, there may be a case where a restriction is set in advance that a half-width kana character cannot be entered in the title area of an outgoing mail.
[0004]
However, if the text data is casually pasted into such an area by the copy paste function, the text data will be input to the area in a state where the data contains an incorrect format. In such a case, the input of the character data by the paste is not accepted, and therefore, the user must input the appropriate character data again, or delete or correct the inappropriate character data input by the paste one by one. In any case, a large amount of troublesome work is required.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing apparatus includes an input unit 10, an edit processing unit 20, an output unit 30, a control unit 40, a VRAM (Video Read Only Memory) 50, and a display processing unit 60. are doing.
[0020]
The input unit 10 is used for inputting various commands such as input of text data, transmission of mail, display of received mail, and switching of functions, and includes input keys. The edit processing unit 20 is for performing various edits on text data. The output unit 30 displays character information in accordance with the bitmap data developed in the VRAM 50, and is composed of, for example, an LCD display. The control section 40 controls each section according to a control program, and has a built-in RAM (Random Access Memory) as a work area and a ROM (Read Only Memory) in which the control program is recorded. The VRAM 50 receives bitmap data for one screen to be displayed on the output unit 30 from the display processing unit 60 and stores the bitmap data. The display processing unit 60 processes the text data (character code) transferred from the editing processing unit 20, generates bitmap data for one screen, and writes the bitmap data on the VRAM 50.
[0021]
The ROM of the control unit 40 may be built in the data processing apparatus, or may be installed from the outside such as a so-called CD-ROM to install the program in the storage unit in the storage. May be something.
[0022]
The editing processing unit 20 includes a text processing unit 21, a text buffer 22, an attribute buffer 23, a copy / paste processing unit 24, and a copy data buffer 25. The text processing unit 21 controls writing and erasing of text data to and from the text buffer 22. The text buffer 22 stores text data input from the input unit 10 or text data distributed by e-mail communication according to the control of the text processing unit 21. The attribute data buffer 23 stores an input format of a text data input area such as a telephone number table or a mail title for each input area. The copy / paste processing unit 24 writes predetermined text data in the text buffer 21 to the copy buffer 25 according to an input command from the input unit 10. The copy buffer 25 updates and stores the text data under the control of the copy / paste processing unit 24. The copy data buffer 25 stores the text data (character code) of each character in order from address 0. That is, the text data of the first character of the character to be copied is written to the address 0, and thereafter, the text data of the second character and the subsequent characters of the character to be copied are sequentially written to the addresses 1, 2, 3,. .
[0023]
The display processing unit 60 includes a font processing unit 61 and a text display control unit 62. Among them, the font processing unit 61 converts text data into bitmap data under the control of the text display control unit 62. The text display control unit 60 controls the font processing unit 61 so that the display is in accordance with the state of the character to be displayed on the output unit 40, and writes the bitmap data generated here to the VRAM 50.
[0024]
Next, the operation of the data display device will be described.
[0025]
(1) Text data to be displayed is read from the text buffer 22 in response to an input command from the copy processing input unit 10 and sent to the display processing unit 60. The display processing unit 60 generates bitmap data for one screen from the text data, and writes the bitmap data to the VRAM 50. The output unit 30 outputs an image corresponding to the bitmap data stored in the VRAM 50.
[0026]
In this state, when the user operates the input unit 10 to select a part of the character information on the display screen and inputs a command to copy the character information, the control unit 40 responds to the character range designated by the selection command. The range on the text data is calculated and sent to the edit processing unit 20. This calculation is performed by calculating the position of the start position and the end position of the selection range in all the displayed characters. For example, if the characters are displayed on the output unit 30 in one line of 8 dots vertically by 80 dots horizontally, that is, when 10 characters of 8 dots × 8 dots are displayed, the start position of the selection range Is set to the position of 32 horizontal dots, the start position is calculated as 32/8 + 1 = 5 (the character). Similarly, if the end position of the selection range is set to the position of 64 dots, the end position is calculated as 64/8 = 8 (character). The control unit 40 calculates the starting position and the ending position of the selected character range from the beginning of all displayed characters in this way, and sends this to the editing processing unit 20.
[0027]
The text processing unit 21 receives the data of the start position and the end position from the control unit 40, reads out the text data from the start position to the end position from the text buffer 22, and sends it to the copy / paste processing unit 24. . The copy / paste processing unit 24 writes the text data into the copy data buffer 25. Here, if the text data is already stored in the copy data buffer 25, it is deleted and the new text data is overwritten.
[0028]
(2) Pasting When the text data stored in the copy data buffer 25 is pasted into a predetermined writing area by the above-described copying processing, the user first specifies the writing area, and then inputs a paste command. When such a paste command is input, first, the attribute data buffer 23 is accessed, and the attribute data of the writing area is read. Thereafter, the control unit 40 determines whether each character of the text data stored in the copy data buffer 25 matches the attribute data of the writing area. The presence or absence of such matching is determined by comparing the character code of each character with dictionary data.
[0029]
For example, when the attribute of the writing area is set so as to permit only the input of a half-width katakana character (for example, the reading area), the character code of each character is in the range of “0xa6” to “0xdf” of the shift JIS. Is determined. If the attribute of the writing area is set to prohibit the input of half-width katakana characters and the input of a line feed mark (for example, a mail title area), the character code of each character is changed from “0xa6” of Shift JIS. It is discriminated whether it is outside the range of “0xdf” (half-width katakana) and “0x0d0a” (line feed mark).
[0030]
In this way, it is determined whether the character code of each character stored in the copy data buffer 25 matches the attribute of the writing area, and only the matching code is pasted into the writing area. As a result, useless operations such as deleting or correcting inappropriate characters can be omitted, and operability and convenience can be improved.
[0031]
(3) Notification Processing The paste processing is executed as described above. In such paste processing, the text data of all the characters in the copy data buffer 25 may not match the attribute of the writing area. Further, there may be a case where data is not yet stored in the copy data buffer 25 when the user inputs the execution processing of the paste processing. In such a case, appropriate paste processing cannot be performed on the writing area, and thus the control unit 40 controls the output unit 30 to display the display. For example, it controls the output unit 30 to display character information indicating that there is no character to be pasted, or to notify this by voice. Thus, it is possible to inform the user that the proper paste processing has not been executed.
[0032]
Next, a specific flow of the paste processing and the notification processing will be described with reference to FIG.
[0033]
First, when the paste process is input by the user (S1), as an initial setting, the index (i) of the copy data buffer 25 is set to 0 and the write flag is set to OFF (S2). Here, the index (i) represents the address on the copy buffer 25 of the character to be processed among the characters stored in the copy buffer 25. That is, when the index (i) is initialized to 0, the text data stored at the address 0 of the copy data buffer 25, that is, the text data of the first character among the copied characters is set as the processing target. You.
[0034]
When the index (i) and the write flag are set in this way, it is next determined whether or not the text data of the character to be processed exists in the copy data buffer 25 (S3). Here, if No is determined, it is determined whether the text data stored at the address of the index (i) matches the attribute of the writing area (S4). The text data to be processed is written (S5), the write flag is set to ON (S6), and the copy data buffer index (i) is counted up by one (S7). On the other hand, if No is determined in the step S4, the copy data buffer index (i) is counted up by one in a step S7 without the text data of the address being pasted in the writing area.
[0035]
The paste processing in steps 4 to 7 is executed for text data of all characters stored in the copy data buffer 25 (S3). Then, when the paste processing for all the characters is completed, “Yes” is determined in the step S3, and it is determined here whether i = 0 or the write flag remains OFF. If i = 0, that is, if it is determined that the text data does not exist in the copy data buffer 25, a message to that effect is given to the user by an error sound or error message display (voice or image) in step S9. If it is determined in step S8 that i ≠ 0 but the write flag remains OFF, it is determined in step 9 that there is no text data matching the attribute of the write area. Is notified to the user by an error sound or an error message display.
[0036]
If No is determined in step S8, it is determined that the text data matching the attribute of the writing area has been pasted into the writing area, and the paste process is terminated.
[0037]
FIG. 3 shows an operation example of the paste processing. Here, the text data (copy data) stored in the copy data buffer 25 is “Yamakawa Kogyo ↓ (Yamakawa Kougyo) ↓ Co., Ltd.” as shown in the figure. “↓” is a line feed mark. When the process of pasting such copy data into a reading area (an area in which only the character code in the range of “0xa6” to “0xdf” of the shift JIS is permitted) is executed, only the half-width katakana “Yamakawa Kougyo” is displayed. It is cut out and this is pasted in the reading area. Also, a process of pasting such copy data into a mail title area (an area where character codes are in the range of "0xa6" to "0xdf" (half-width katakana) and "0x0d0a" (line feed mark) of shift JIS are refused to input). Is executed, only "Yamakawa Kogyo Co., Ltd." is cut out, and this is pasted in the mail title area.
[0038]
Therefore, in the present embodiment, unnecessary operations such as deleting or correcting a character that does not match the attribute of the writing area after pasting the character become unnecessary, and the operability and convenience of the apparatus can be improved. Become.
[0039]
Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and it goes without saying that various other modifications are possible. For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example of allowing or rejecting half-width katakana is given as an example of the attribute of the writing area. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other attributes can be similarly applied. In addition, although one type of copy data is written to the copy data buffer 25, several types of copy data are stored in the copy data buffer 25 instead, and desired copy data is selected from the copy data and the write area is selected. You may paste it in In the above-described embodiment, the processing target includes parentheses and line feed marks in addition to character data, but it goes without saying that punctuation marks and punctuation marks are also targets. The present invention can be variously modified within the scope of technical ideas obvious to those skilled in the art.
[0040]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, only the character data of the character corresponding to the attribute of the writing area is cut out from the character data or the copy data of the selection range and written into the writing area. Useless operations such as deleting or correcting characters that do not match the attributes of the writing area are not required, and the operability and convenience of the device can be improved.
