Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a text in the flow of a context by the use of context information by providing a context storing management device and a context display instructing device and thereby semiautomatically extracting information relating to the context of all the text. CONSTITUTION:A word processor having the screen display function of the text is provided with the context storing management device 2 for storing the leading position of the respective paragraphs of an input text and the context display instructing device 3 for instructing to display the leading sentence or the leading line of the respective paragraphs at the time of a context display request. Thereby, a person forming the text can display the leading sentence or the leading line of the respective paragraphs in the formed text until then and can form the next sentence so as not to deviate from the context while grasping the context from the leading sentence or the leading line.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a word processor that has a text screen display function, and more particularly to a word processor that has a context display function and allows document creation to be performed in the context of the entire text. in between.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventional word processors have various functions such as character type conversion functions such as kana-kanji conversion, text formatting functions, screen scrolling functions, and multi-window functions, and can sequentially refer to the entire text area. I was doing it. On the other hand, since the size of the screen is limited by a display device such as a CRT or liquid crystal display, the text area that can be referenced at the same time is limited.

Therefore, for text that exceeds the display screen, you can only refer to other parts of the text locally using the window function; in order to see the whole picture, you must create a separate memo file or use a paper or other external device. I had no choice but to rely on the media.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device that semi-automatically extracts information regarding the context of the entire text and uses the context information to read the entire text within the flow of the context.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Means provided by the present invention in order to solve the above-mentioned problems is a word processor that has a text display function on the screen and that stores the beginning position of each paragraph of input text. The present invention is characterized in that it includes a context storage management device and a context display instructing device that instructs display of the first sentence or first line of each paragraph when a context display request is made.

(Principle of the Invention) Generally, in a text, the first sentence of each paragraph often states the central topic of that paragraph, and sentences written in this way are natural to humans, making them easy to read. Therefore,
It is efficient to understand the context of a text by referring to the first sentence of each paragraph, and it is advantageous to grasp the context in this way before creating the text.
In addition to the parts that perform the functions of a conventional basic word processor, the present invention is equipped with a context memory management device and a context display instruction device, so that text creators can select the beginning of each paragraph in previously created text. The sentence or first line can be displayed. The text creator can grasp the context from the first sentence or first line and create the next sentence without going out of context.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a more schematic configuration of the embodiment. As shown in FIG.
The main body 1 is the same as a conventional word processor having basic functions.

Therefore, this embodiment can be thought of as a word processor in which a conventional word processor is combined with a context memory management device 2 and a context display instruction device 3. The context display instruction device 3 displays the key context information of the context as necessary.

The connection relationship between the two is explained in more detail in FIG. 2. In this figure, the word processor device 1 in FIG.
is an input character string analysis device 5 and a text storage management device 6.
It is composed of three modules: and a text output device 7. The character string input from the data line 01 is analyzed by the input character string analysis device 5. The data determined to be text characters by the device 5 is sent to the text storage management device through the data line 12. ! Sent to f6. The text in the text storage management device 6 is sent to the text output device 7 via the data line 23, and further output to the display device via the data line 36.
displayed on the screen of this display device. In the input character string analysis device 5, when a paragraph change in the text is recognized by a special symbol string such as a blank line or a paragraph break symbol, information on the paragraph change is transmitted via the information line 12 to the input character string analysis. Device 5
The text storage management device 6 receives the information on the 0 paragraph change transmitted to the text storage management device 6 from the 0 context storage management device 6, which transmits the position of the first sentence of the new paragraph to the context storage management device 2 via the data line 24. The device 2 stores the paragraph number and the corresponding position in the text.

When a request for displaying the context of a text is input via the data line 01, the input character analysis device 1 recognizes the request and transmits the request to the context display instruction device 3 via the information line 15. The instruction, device 13 instructs the context memory management device 2 to display the context information through the information line 54.The context memory management device 2 outputs the starting position of each paragraph through the information line 42 according to the command, and displays the text. In the storage management device 6,
Requests to output data for the first sentence or first line of each paragraph.

On the other hand, the context display instruction device 3 transmits an output request for context display to the text output device 7 through the information line 53. The text storage management device 6 transmits the first sentence or first line of each paragraph of the text designated by the context storage management device 2 to the data output device 7 through the data line 23. The text output device 7 receives the request for displaying context information from the context display instruction device rIt3 and the text partial data from the text storage management device 6, and displays the text in the context display screen or context display window. Output partial data.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above in detail, according to the word processor of the present invention, the next text can be created while keeping in mind the context of the entire text created up to that point. Therefore, by using the word processor of the present invention, it becomes easy to create an easy-to-read sentence in which the beginning of a paragraph expresses the main topic of the paragraph.
