Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability of a document producing device by registering new words or external characters exclusive to an operator to an IC card and reading these new words out of the IC card as necessary for application. CONSTITUTION:When the register of new words is desired during production of a sentence, an operator sets a cursor at the head of the relevant expression via a cursor key of a keyboard 20. Then the operator pushes a register key on the keyboard 20 and moves the cursor to the end of the expression to push the register key again. Then a CPU 11 edits with integration the reading data given from the keyboard 20 and the expression data displayed at a display part 22 with push of a selection/execution key for composition of a new record. This record is sent to a control part 6 of an IC card 1 via a card reader/writer 18. Then the part 6 writes the received record into an idle area of a new word register area 521 of a memory part 5.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention enables an operator to attach a new word and a word exclusive to the operator to the IC card (portable storage medium). The present invention relates to a document creation device in which dictionary information such as external characters is registered and the registered dictionary information can be read out from an IC card and used as necessary when creating a document.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in document creation devices such as Japanese word processors, when the operator wants to quote a phrase or character while creating a document,
If it does not exist in the dictionary file prepared in advance in the device, use the new word registration function or custom character registration function to input the phrase or custom character you want to register, and then save them to the hard disk drive or floppy disk drive built into the device. It was remembered. Therefore, once these new words or external characters are registered, they will be shared not only by the registrant but also by other operators.

In this way, in conventional document creation devices, multiple operators register new words or non-standard characters, so when quoting them, the new words or non-standard characters that they have registered are not necessarily recalled, and they have to re-quote. However, there was a problem in that the operability was poor. Furthermore, if the document creation device is different, it is necessary to register each time.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the present invention, as described above, multiple operators register dictionary information such as new words or foreign characters, so when quoting them, the dictionary information registered by themselves is not always correct. This was created to solve the problem of poor operability as the user often had to redo the citation after being called. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device that can be added with the following features and has significantly improved operability.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving Problems) The present invention provides a document creation device that performs document creation processing using dictionary information provided in advance or dictionary information registered by an operator. a portable storage medium, a registration means for storing dictionary information registered by an operator in a memory section of the portable storage medium, and a registered dictionary from the memory section of the portable storage medium as needed when creating a document. and reading means for reading out information.

(Function) A portable storage medium is used in addition to the conventional hard disk device or floppy disk device as a dictionary file. Dictionary information such as the operator and special new words or external characters are registered in this portable storage medium, and when creating a document. The registered dictionary information can be read out from the portable storage medium and used as needed.

A display control section 23 controls the display of the display section 22 under the control of the microprocessor 11.

A printer 24 prints created documents or character information read from the floppy disk device 16 under the control of the microprocessor 11 via an ink face circuit 25.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be explained.

First, the new word registration operation will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. If there is a new word that the operator wants to register while creating a document, the operator uses the cursor keys on the keyboard 20 to place the cursor on the beginning of the word, presses the "Register" key on the keyboard 20, and then registers the new word at the end of the word. Move the cursor and press the "Register" key again (Step S1
~S2).

Next, press the "Kanji/Bunsetsu" key on the keyboard 20 to register the word as an idiom, and press the "Proper Noun" key on the keyboard 20 to register it as a proper noun. "Yomi" is input (steps 83 to S4). Then, select “Select/
By pressing the "execute" key (step S5), the microprocessor 11 integrates and edits the "reading" data from the keyboard 20 and the phrase data displayed on the display section 22, thereby displaying the data shown in FIG. Assemble a new word record (step S6) and transfer it to the control unit 6 of the IC card 1 via the card reader/writer 18.
A new word record is written in the empty area (step S?).

This completes the new word registration process.

Next, the seventh step is to read out the new words registered as above.
This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in the figure. When reading a registered new word, the operator presses “
The user presses the "kanji/bunsetsu" key or the "proper noun" key (step S8), and then inputs the "yomi" using the keyboard 20 (step S9). And again “Kanji/Bunsetsu”
key or the "proper noun" key (
In step 510), the microprocessor 11 transfers the "read" data from the keyboard 20 to the control section 6 of the IC card 1 via the card reader ψ writer 18. Upon receiving this, the control unit 6 searches for a corresponding new word record in the new word registration area 521 of the memory unit 5 using the transferred "reading" data as a key (step 511). Since the searched new word record has the structure as shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 6 reads it as it is (step 512) and transfers it to the microprocessor 11 via the card reader/writer 18. . Upon receiving this, the microprocessor 11 displays only the phrase field portion of the transferred new word record at the corresponding location on the display section 22 (step 513). This completes the registered new word reading process.

Next, the external character registration operation will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When registering a new non-standard character, the operator selects "register non-standard character" from the processing menu, and then inputs the period code (four digits) in the range from the keyboard 20 (step 514). Then, by pressing the "select/execute" key on the keyboard 20 (step 515), the microprocessor 11 selects, for example, the first
A newly registered pattern as shown in FIG. 0 is displayed on the display section 22 (step 516). Therefore, the operator:
For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a custom character pattern is created on the display section 22 based on a custom character pattern drawn on a desk in advance (step 517). Then, by pressing the "Select/Execute" key again (step 8
18), the microprocessor 11 sends the screen information to 576
Step 319) to convert the bit into a bit image.
A custom character record shown in FIG. 5 is assembled by pairing it with the input period code (step 520). Next, the microprocessor 11 transfers the assembled external character record to the control unit 6 of the IC card 1 via the card reader/writer 18, and the control unit 6 that receives this transfers the external character record in the external character registration area 522 of the memory unit 5. A private character record is written in the empty area (step 521). This completes the external character registration process.

Next, the operation of reading out the external characters registered as above is performed in the ninth step.
This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in the figure. When reading registered external characters 1. The operator presses the "code input" key on the keyboard 20 (step 522), and then inputs the period code from the keyboard 20 (step 523). Then, “Select/Execute” on the keyboard 20
By pressing a key (step 524), the microprocessor 11 transfers the period code from the keyboard 20 to the control unit 6 of the IC card 1 via the card reader/writer 18. Upon receiving this, the control unit 6 searches for a corresponding non-standard character record in the non-standard character registration area 522 of the memory unit 5 using the transferred period code as a key (step 525). Since the retrieved external character record has the structure as shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 6 reads it as it is (step 526) and transfers it to the microprocessor 11 via the card reader/writer 18. . Upon receiving this, the microprocessor 11 displays only the portion of the external character field of the transferred external character record at the corresponding location on the display unit 22 (step 527). This completes the registered external character reading process.

The IC card described above has both a new word registration area and a non-standard character registration area in the memory section.In this case, in addition to being able to register new words and non-standard characters as described above, the registered non-standard characters can be used as new words. It is also possible to register.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which both new words and non-standard characters are registered as dictionary information on one IC card, but the invention is not limited to this, and new words and non-standard characters may be registered in separate dedicated IC cards. You may also do so.

In this way, an IC card is used in addition to a conventional hard disk device or floppy disk device as a dictionary file, new words or foreign characters exclusively for the operator are registered on this IC card, and the registered words can be saved as needed when creating a document. This allows new words or foreign characters to be read out from an IC card and used. Therefore, special dictionary information created by the operator himself can be added to the inherent general-purpose dictionary information, and operability is significantly improved.

Furthermore, by attaching the IC card to the document creation device before using it, the operator can use the general-purpose document creation device with his or her own dictionary, making it possible to use the device as if it were private. Also, if you carry an IC card,
Documents can be created using the same operating method using other document creation devices.

Furthermore, when compared to floppy disks, IC cards are not only safer and easier to carry, but also have faster access times for registration, reading, etc. Note that the existing functions for modifying and deleting registered data can also be used as is.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, special dictionary information created by the operator himself can be added to the inherent general-purpose dictionary information, and operability is significantly improved. Document creation devices can be provided.
