Description

  The present invention creates a label issuing device for issuing labels (valued labels, food labels, etc.) to be affixed to processed foods, etc., and documents showing the names of raw materials, additives, etc. printed on the labels. The present invention relates to a suitable document creation apparatus.

  An example of a label 1 affixed to a processed food such as a bento box or a side dish is shown in FIG. Label 1 requires product name 2, price 3, bar code 4, processing date 5, etc., as well as display of expiration date, raw materials / additives, place of origin, etc. by law and regulation. In addition, a document 7 showing the raw materials and additives including the place of origin is printed. Such a label 1 is generally called a priced label, a fixed amount label, a price label, or the like. Moreover, the label affixed to processed food also has the label 1 which describes a product name, a processing date, an expiration date, a raw material and an additive, a manufacturer, etc., and does not indicate price 3 or barcode 4. Such a label 1 is called a food label, a food label, or the like.

Conventionally, as a label issuing device capable of issuing this type of label 1, a list of character strings indicating raw material names, additive names, origin names, etc. is displayed on the display unit, and a character string to be used is selected from the list. And a document having a so-called document creation function for creating a document for displaying raw materials and additives by combining the selected character strings and printing the label 1 (see, for example, Patent Document 1) ).

  By the way, a label issuing device having a document creation function has a function for storing a document created by combining raw material names, production area names, etc. for each food, and a function for reading and correcting a document stored and stored for each food in a timely manner. is doing. For example, in the case of the processed food “fresh salad” to which the label 1 shown in FIG. 14 is attached, the raw material “lettuce” is from Aomori Prefecture and “cucumber” is from Akita Prefecture. Often varies depending on the supplier. In such a case, the user of the label issuing device first reads out the document of the name of the raw material and the name of the production area for the processed food “fresh salad” stored last time, and displays it on the display unit. Next, a character string indicating the name of the place of origin that is different from the previous one is selected from the displayed document with the cursor. After selection, this character string is deleted by operating the delete key. After that, a character string indicating the name of the current place of origin is specified and added instead of the deleted place of origin name.

  Conventionally, in order to correct a stored document, the operation as described above is required, and there is a problem that the operation for selecting a character string to be corrected is complicated and inefficient.

  The present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and the object of the present invention is, for example, a label issuing device that can efficiently create a document that lists the names of food ingredients, names of production, etc. In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a document creation apparatus capable of efficiently correcting a character string constituting a document.

Sentence A substituted designation accepting means for accepting one of whether the designated input replace in a column, receives an input indicating replaced by the substitution designation accepting means, in printing a document stored in the document storage unit Character string correcting means for replacing a character string that matches the corrected character string stored in the character string memory with one designated character string in the character string displayed on the replacement character string display section. is there.

Label issuing device of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the document creation apparatus has a label comprising lists the names of the raw materials and origin constitute a food product to be identified by the identification information separately the identification information for identifying the various foods A storage unit for each food that stores a print document, identification information input means for inputting identification information for identifying the food to be labeled, and food corresponding to the identification information input through the identification information input means Document reading means for reading a print document stored in another storage unit is provided. The document storage unit stores the print document read by the document reading unit. The replacement character string storage unit stores a plurality of character strings indicating various raw material names, production center names, and the like as replacement candidates.

  According to the present invention in which such means are taken, it is possible to efficiently correct a character string that constitutes a document. Therefore, for example, it is possible to efficiently create a document that lists the names of food ingredients, names of production, etc., which are indicated on a label. There is an effect that can be created.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a label issuing apparatus capable of printing and issuing the label 1 having the layout shown in FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external configuration of a label issuing apparatus according to the present embodiment. Reference numeral 10 in the figure denotes a label issuing apparatus main body, and a display 11 with a touch panel and a keyboard 12 are provided on the upper part thereof. Further, a printer 13 (see FIG. 3) as a label printing mechanism is built in the label issuing apparatus main body 10. The label printed by the printer 13 is discharged from a label issuing port 14 formed on the front surface of the label issuing apparatus main body 10.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the keyboard 12 has a part number key 22, an erase key 23, a confirmation key 24, an issue key 25, a cursor key, in addition to a numeric key 21 for placing numbers “0” to “9”. Various keys such as 26 and menu key 27 are arranged. The cursor key 26 includes arrow keys 26U, 26D, 26L, and 26R in four directions, up, down, left, and right.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a control circuit configuration of the label issuing device. In this label issuing device, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 30 is mounted as a control unit body. Also, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 31 in which fixed data such as programs are stored in advance, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 32 in which various memory areas for storing various data necessary for label printing are formed, A key signal corresponding to an operation key is input from the clock unit 33 as a time measuring means for measuring the date and time of the device, the communication interface 34 for managing data communication with a host device connected via a communication line, and the keyboard 12. A key controller 35 to which a signal corresponding to a screen touch position is input from the touch panel sensor 11T of the display 11 with a touch panel, a display controller 36 for controlling data display of a liquid crystal display 11D constituting the screen of the display 11 with a touch panel, Controls label printing operation of the printer 13 The printer controller 37 and the label edge sensor, a label end sensor I / O ports 38, such as signals from various sensors 15 are inputted or the like is provided that. The CPU 30, ROM 31, RAM 32, clock unit 33, communication interface 34, key controller 35, display controller 36, printer controller 37, and I / O port 38 are connected by a bus line 39 such as an address bus or a data bus. .

  In the label issuing device having such a configuration, a product number file in which food-specific information such as the product name, unit price, and validity period of the food specified by the product number is set in advance for each product number attached to each food for which label is issued. Is downloaded from the host device and stored in the RAM 32. Here, the product number functions as identification information for identifying various foods. Further, the effective period refers to a period during which the food specified by the corresponding product number can be stored.

  Further, in this label issuing device, the food storage unit 40 shown in FIG. 4, the replacement character string storage unit 50 shown in FIG. 5, the delimiter storage unit 60 shown in FIG. 6, the editing memory 70 shown in FIG. Each storage area of the character string memory 80 shown in FIG.

  Incidentally, the food storage unit 40 is classified by product number for identifying various foods, the product name of the food specified by the product number, the name of the raw material constituting the food, the name of the production area, the name of the additive contained in the food, etc. Is an area for storing information of documents listed.

  The replacement character string storage unit 50 is an area for storing a plurality of character strings set as replacement candidates by classifying them into three items of raw material names, production center names, and additive names. Each region (production area name region 51, raw material region 52 and additive region 53) for each classification item in the replacement character string storage unit 50 is assigned a region number, and the replacement character string is sequentially from the area of region number 1. Each character string is sorted so that the date from the selection to the present time becomes longer.

  The delimiter storage unit 60 includes parentheses (“(”, “)”, “[”, “]”,...), Colons (“:”, “;”,...), Punctuation marks specified as delimiters. This is an area for storing characters or symbols such as (“.”, “,”,...). In addition, as a delimiter, a unit symbol or the like can be considered.

  The editing memory 70 is an area for storing one document to be edited among characters stored in the food storage unit 40, and constitutes a document storage unit. A series of address numbers 1, 2, 3,... Are assigned to the area of the editing memory 70 divided into character units in order from the area where the first character is stored.

  The character string memory 80 is an area for storing a character string extracted as a corrected character string from the document stored in the editing memory 70, one character at a time. A series of address numbers 1, 2, 3,... Are assigned to areas divided into character units in the character string memory 80 in order from the area where the first character is stored.

  Accordingly, when the CPU 30 of the label issuing device detects that the menu key 27 is operated, the CPU 30 displays the business menu list on the display 11 with the touch panel. Next, when it is detected that a document editing job is selected from various job menus by a screen touch operation or a key operation of the cursor key 26 and the confirmation key 24, the raw materials whose procedures are shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. The editing process is executed.

  First, the CPU 30 displays a document editing screen 90 having a layout shown in FIG. 9 on the touch panel display 11 as ST (step) 1.

  The document editing screen 90 includes a document display unit 91 for displaying a document stored in the editing memory 70 and a character string stored for each classification item (origin, raw material, additive) in the replacement character string storage unit 50. A replacement character string display portion 92 for displaying ten types of character strings from region numbers 1 to 10 belonging to the item selected in the item tab 92a, 92b or 92c is formed. In addition, button images of a list display button 93, an end button 94, an edit button 95, a delimiter addition button 96, a delimiter deletion button 97, a character string addition button 98 and a character string deletion button 99, and a product number input field 100 are provided. It is arranged on the screen.

  Incidentally, the document editing screen 90 shown in FIG. 9 is a display example when the item tab 92a of the classification item “production area” is selected. Needless to say, the number of character strings displayed on the replacement character string display unit 92 is not limited to ten.

  Next, the CPU 30 waits for the input of the product number for identifying the food for which the label is issued as ST2. In ST3, the process waits for any touch button image on the document editing screen 90 to be touched.

  Here, when it is detected that the edit button 95 is touched by a signal from the touch panel sensor 11T (YES in ST31), a character editing process for editing the document displayed on the document display unit 91 character by character. Execute. In this process, a key image for inputting characters such as hiragana, katakana, alphabets and alphanumeric characters is displayed on the display 11 with a touch panel, and is displayed on the document display unit 91 by a touch operation of the key image for character input. This is a process for editing characters in a document by deleting or adding characters from the existing document.

  If it is detected that the delimiter addition button 96 has been touched (YES in ST32), delimiter addition processing is executed. In this process, the delimiter character stored in the delimiter character storage unit 60 is displayed on the document display unit 91, and the key image for character input is displayed. Then, when a character is input by the operation of the character input key image and it is detected that the enter key 24 is operated, the input character is added to the delimiter storage unit 60 as a delimiter (delimiter). Character editing means).

  If it is detected that the delimiter deletion button 97 is touched (YES in ST33), delimiter deletion processing is executed. In this process, the delimiter stored in the delimiter storage unit 60 is displayed on the document display unit 91. Then, by operating the cursor key 26, the cursor of the document display unit 91 is moved to select any delimiter, and when it is detected that the enter key 24 has been operated, the selected delimiter is stored as a delimiter. This is a process of deleting from the section 60 (delimiter editing means).

  If it is detected that the character string addition button 98 has been touched (YES in ST34), a character string addition process is executed. In this process, a list of character strings belonging to the classification item selected by the item tab is displayed on the document display unit 91 and a key image for character input is displayed. When a character string is input by operating the character input key image and when it is detected that the enter key 24 is operated, the input character string is used as a replacement candidate character string for the classification item selected by the item tab. This is a process of adding to the corresponding area 51, 52 or 53 of the replacement character string storage unit 50 (replacement character string editing means).

  If it is detected that the character string deletion button 99 has been touched (YES in ST35), a character string deletion process is executed. In this process, a list of character strings belonging to the classification item selected by the item tab is displayed on the document display unit 91. When the cursor of the document display unit 91 is moved by the operation of the cursor key 26 and any character string is selected and when it is detected that the enter key 24 is operated, the selected character string is replaced with a replacement character string. This is a process of deleting from the storage unit 50 (replacement character string editing means).

  When the document input process, delimiter addition process, delimiter deletion process, character string addition process or character string deletion process is completed, the CPU 30 returns to the standby state of ST2 and ST3.

  When detecting that the end button 94 has been touched, the CPU 30 ends the document editing process. When the list display button 93 is touched, the input is ignored and the standby state of ST2 and ST3 is continued.

  On the other hand, when it is detected in the standby state of ST2 and 3 that the product number of any food is input by the operation of the numeric key 21 and the product number key 22 constituting the identification information input means, the CPU 30 After the product number is temporarily stored, the storage unit 40 by food is searched in ST4, and the document information stored corresponding to the product number is read (document reading means). Then, the document information document is set in the editing memory 70 character by character from the top. At this time, the number of characters P set in the editing memory 70 is counted as ST5. In ST6, both counters A and B are reset to "0".

  Next, the CPU 30 counts up the counter A by “1” in ST7. In ST8, it is determined whether or not the counter A has exceeded the number of characters P. If the counter A exceeds the number of characters P, the counter A is reset to “0” in ST9. Thereafter, the process returns to ST7 and the counter A is incremented by “1”. Then, the processes after ST8 are executed again.

  If the counter A does not exceed the number of characters P in ST8, the CPU 30 acquires one character stored in the partitioned storage area in which the address number A of the editing memory 70 is set in ST10. Then, in ST11, it is determined whether or not this character is a delimiter stored in the delimiter storage unit 60.

  If the character acquired from the editing memory 70 is not a delimiter, the CPU 30 increments the counter B by “1” as ST12. In ST13, the character acquired from the editing memory 70 is set in the area indicated by the address number B of the character string memory 80. Thereafter, the process returns to ST7 and the counter A is incremented by "1". Then, the processes after ST8 are executed again.

  If the character acquired from the editing memory 70 in ST11 is a delimiter, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the counter B is greater than “0” in ST14. Here, when the counter B is “0”, the CPU 30 returns to the process of ST7 and counts up the counter A by “1”. Then, the processes after ST8 are executed again.

  If the counter B is greater than “0” in ST14, the CPU 30 extracts a character string that matches the character string data stored in the character string memory 80 retroactively from the address A of the editing memory 70 in ST15. When a character string that matches the character string data stored in the character string memory 80 is extracted, the selected character string in the document displayed on the document display unit 91 is focused to select the character string. Display state.

  In this state, if it is detected in ST16 that the right arrow key 25R of the cursor key 26 has been operated, the CPU 30 clears the character string memory 80 in ST17. In ST18, the counter B is reset to “0”. Thereafter, the process returns to ST7 and the counter A is incremented by “1”. Then, the processes after ST8 are executed again.

  On the other hand, if it is detected in ST19 that any character string area in the replacement character string display section 92 of the document editing screen 90 has been touched, the CPU 30 displays the character string displayed in the character string area. Select as replacement string. Then, the character string in the editing memory 70 extracted as matching with the character string data stored in the character string memory 80 as ST20 is replaced with the replacement character string. Thereafter, the process returns to ST7 and the counter A is incremented by “1”. Then, the processes after ST8 are executed again.

  On the other hand, if it is detected in ST21 that the end button 94 has been touched, the CPU 30 converts the document information stored in the editing memory 70 as ST22 to the document corresponding to the product number input in the food storage unit 40. Overwrite the information area. This completes the document editing process.

  Here, the CPU 30 searches the document displayed on the document display unit 91 one character at a time from the beginning by executing the document editing processes ST10 to ST15, and stores them in the delimiter storage unit 60. A correction character string extraction unit is configured to extract a character string sandwiched between delimiters as a correction character string. Further, by executing ST16 to ST18 and ST7 to ST9 of the same processing, a correction character string selection unit is configured to select a correction character string extracted by the correction character string extraction unit in order from the document. Furthermore, by executing the processes of ST19 and ST20 of the same process, one of the character strings displayed on the replacement character string display unit 92 is designated for the corrected character string selected by the corrected character string selecting means. Then, a character string correcting unit is configured to replace the selected corrected character string in the document stored in the editing memory 70 with the designated character string.

  In this way, the document information in which the product name stored by product number in the food storage unit 40, the raw materials constituting the food, the name of the production area, the name of the additive contained in the food, etc. are listed is issued as a label. In the mode, under the control of the CPU 30, the corresponding product number is read out, edited into label data, printed on the label 1 by the printer 13, and issued from the label issuing port 14.

  Now, the case where the production area of the raw material “lettuce” constituting the food “fresh salad” in the label 1 shown in FIG. 14 is changed from Aomori Prefecture to Iwate Prefecture will be described. In the delimiter storage unit 60, it is assumed that the characters shown in FIG. 6 are set as delimiters. Further, it is assumed that the character string shown in FIG. 5 is set in the replacement character string storage unit 50 as a replacement character string.

  In this case, the person in charge of the label issuing work first selects a document editing work from the work menu list. Then, since the document editing screen 90 is displayed on the display 11 with a touch panel, the person in charge inputs “1” as the product number of the food “fresh salad”. Then, the document information stored corresponding to the product number “1” is read from the food storage unit 40 and stored in the editing memory 70. The document information document stored in the editing memory 70 is displayed on the document display unit 91 of the document editing screen 90. In other words, the document display unit 91 displays the document shown in FIG.

  Here, in the label issuing device, it is determined whether or not the character “original” stored in the area of address number 1 in the editing memory 70 is a delimiter. In this case, since “original” is not a delimiter, the character “original” is stored in the area of address number 1 in the character string memory 80. Next, it is determined whether or not the character “material” stored in the area of the address number 2 in the editing memory 70 is a delimiter. In this case, since “material” is not a delimiter, the character “material” is stored in the area of address number 2 in the character string memory 80. Similarly, the character “fee” stored in the address number 3 area of the editing memory 70 is not a delimiter, and is stored in the address number 3 area of the character string memory 80.

  Next, the character “:” stored in the area of address number 4 in the editing memory 70 is a delimiter. As a result, the character string “raw material” stored in the document memory 80 is extracted as a corrected character string. Then, as shown in FIG. 12A, the corrected character string “raw material” is focused and brought into a selection display state.

  Here, since the character string that needs to be corrected is not “raw material”, the person in charge presses the right arrow key 26R of the cursor key 26 once. Then, the character string memory 80 is cleared in the label issuing device. Next, it is determined whether or not the character “R” stored in the area of address number 5 in the editing memory 70 is a delimiter. In this case, since “Re” is not a delimiter, the character “Re” is stored in the area of address number 1 in the character string memory 80. Next, it is determined whether or not the character “T” stored in the area of the address number 6 in the editing memory 70 is a delimiter. In this case, since “ta” is not a delimiter, the character “ta” is stored in the area of address number 2 in the character string memory 80. Similarly, the character “s” stored in the address number 7 area of the editing memory 70 is not a delimiter, and is stored in the address number 3 area of the character string memory 80.

  Next, the character “(” stored in the area of the address number 8 in the editing memory 70 is a delimiter. As a result, the character string “lettuce” stored in the document memory 80 is extracted as a corrected character string. Then, as shown in FIG. 12B, the corrected character string “lettuce” is focused and brought into a selection display state.

  Here, since the character string that needs to be corrected is not “lettuce”, the person in charge presses the right arrow key 26R once more. Then, the character string memory 80 is cleared in the label issuing device. Then, the same processing as described above is executed for the characters stored in the area after the address number 9 in the editing memory 70. As a result, after the character string “produced in Aomori Prefecture” stored in the area of address numbers 9 to 12 in the edit memory 70 is stored in the area of address numbers 1 to 4 in the character string memory 80, the address number of the edit memory 70 Since the character “)” stored in the area 13 is a delimiter, the character string “produced in Aomori Prefecture” is extracted as a corrected character string. Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), the corrected character string “produced in Aomori Prefecture” is focused and brought into a selection display state. In this way, each time the right arrow key 26R is operated once, the character string sandwiched between the delimiters is sequentially extracted as the corrected character string, and the selected display state is set.

  Here, since the corrected character string “produced in Aomori Prefecture” is a character string requiring correction in “produced in Iwate Prefecture”, the person in charge touches the production area tab 92 a of the replacement character string display portion 92. Then, since the 10 recently selected items are displayed among the production region names set as replacement character strings in the production region name area 51 of the replacement character string storage unit 50, the corrected character string “Iwate” is displayed therein. Judge whether or not “prefectural product” exists. If it does not exist, the list display button 93 is touch-operated to display a list of the names of production areas in the production area name area 51. If it still does not exist, the character string addition button 98 is touch-operated to additionally register the character string “produced in Iwate Prefecture” in the production name area 51 of the replacement character string storage unit 50.

  Assume that the character string “produced in Iwate Prefecture” is displayed on the replacement character string display unit 92. In this case, the person in charge touches the area of this character string “produced in Iwate Prefecture”. Then, this character string “produced by Iwate Prefecture” is selected as the replacement character string. Then, a replacement character string “produced in Iwate Prefecture” is set in place of the character string “produced in Aomori Prefecture” stored in the area of address numbers 9 to 12 in the editing memory 70. In addition, the document display unit 91 displays the document shown in FIG.

  Thereafter, the person in charge performs a touch operation on the end button 94. Then, the document information stored corresponding to the product number “1” in the food storage unit 40 is changed from the document information displayed in FIG. 12A to the document displayed in FIG. Updated with information. After that, when the labeling of the food “fresh salad” identified by the product number “1” is instructed, as shown in FIG. 13, the name of the production area of lettuce is Iwate from Aomori Prefecture as a document 7 indicating raw materials and additives. The label 1 changed to the prefecture is printed and issued from the label issuing port 14.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when it is necessary to correct the name of the production area, the name of the raw material or the additive name of the document 7 indicating the raw materials and additives to be printed on the label 1, the document 7 is read out and the document is read out. After being displayed on the display unit 91, the right arrow key 26a of the cursor key 26 is pressed until a character string to be corrected is selected. Each time the right arrow key 26a is pressed, a character string sandwiched between characters set in advance as a delimiter is selected in order from the first character of the document displayed on the document display unit 91. If the target character string is selected, a corrected character string is designated from the replacement candidate character strings displayed in the replacement character string display section. By doing so, since the character string to be corrected is replaced with the character string designated as the replacement character string, the name of the place of production, the name of the raw material, the name of the additive, etc. of the document 7 printed on the label 1 can be corrected efficiently. .

  Note that the present invention is not limited to a label issuing device, and can be improved in efficiency by being applied to a document creation device that combines character strings surrounded by delimiters such as punctuation marks and parentheses. .

  In the above embodiment, the food storage unit, the delimiter storage unit, and the replacement character storage unit are formed in the internal memory (RAM 32) of the label issuing device main body 10. However, the host connected via the communication interface 34 is used. You may form in the memory of an apparatus.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the document display part 91 and the replacement character string display part 92 were displayed on one screen of the display 11 with a touch panel, you may display on another screen. Further, the display 11 is not necessarily a touch panel type.

In the above embodiment, the right arrow key 26R is used as means for selecting a correction character string. However, it goes without saying that the correction character string selection means may be configured using other keys or operators. It is. In short, it suffices if the corrected character string extracted by the corrected character string extracting means can be selected in order from the top in a simple one-touch operation.
Of course, various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
