Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a serial-number printing in an easy manner, by a method wherein, when during printing of a consecutive numeric character string, such as a page number application, numerical information as an initial value is inputted and a serial-number printing is specified, it is automatically updated to the same kind of numeric character information and stored after the initial numeric value is printed. CONSTITUTION:If a serial-number printing is specified by a keyboard 16, a CPU 10 develops a document stored in a document storage area of a RAM 11 according to a character pattern 14 in a ROM 12 and prints it on a handy printer 23. At this time, if a serial-number printing is specified and the numerical data of a line, e.g., the specified initial numerical data, is printed, a value 1 is added to a numeric value corresponding to a numerical code of a Kanji- numeric or alphanumeric character and converted to a numerical code corresponding to the updated value and further to a carried alphanumeric value, and the value is successively updated to be printed. In this manner, a document requiring a serial-number printing can be formed efficiently.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a document creation device that prints by specifying a range of a document.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in small-sized document creation devices such as Japanese word processors for portaple use, when performing serial number printing such as pagination of documents, character strings such as numbers are input every time they are printed. had to enter.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In this way, when printing serial numbers using a conventional document creation device, characters such as numbers must be input each time, which is very time-consuming.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and it automatically updates input numerical information every time it is printed.
An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device that facilitates serial number printing.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a document creation device that stores document data in a document storage area, in which printing is specified. When the serial number print designation key for specifying whether or not to perform serial number printing for the numerical information of the document data mentioned above is pressed, the numerical information to be serial number printed from the document data specified to be printed. After searching for and printing the document data specified for printing, the searched numeric information is converted to continuous numeric information of the same character type, and then replaced with the numeric information that was previously searched for sequential number printing. It is something that is memorized and configured.

(Function) With the document creation device configured in this way, when printing a continuous number string such as a purchase order, for example, if you input numerical information to be the initial value and specify serial number printing, you can print the serial number. To automatically update and store numerical information of the same type after printing initial numerical values.

The numerical information thus stored is reused to perform serial number printing processing.

(Example) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a document creation device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In Figure 1, lO is a microprocessor (CPU)
, 11 is a RAM accessed by the microprocessor 10, and 12 is a ROM.

A microprocessor (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 10 controls the entire device, and controls the RAM II and ROM 1 described above.
2 and starts the program in accordance with input instructions to execute document creation processing, external character creation processing, serial number printing processing as shown in FIG. 2, etc. RAMII has a document area, line image area (print buffer), external character registration area,
It consists of an area for storing various control information such as a phrase registration area.

The ROM 12 includes a program area 13 that stores a program that determines the operation of the CPU 10 and a serial number printing program as shown in FIG. 2, a character pattern area 14 that stores display or print character patterns, etc. It has a dictionary area 15 etc. in which various dictionaries for converting inputted readings into kanji are registered.

Further, 16 is a keyboard (KB), 18 is a display, 21 is a floppy disk device (FDD), and 23 is a handy printer (PRT). Keyboard (KB) 1B is
Input information necessary for document creation etc. is input to the CPU 10 via the keyboard interface (KB-IF) 17. The keyboard 16 is provided with various function keys including a character entry key, a serial number print key for designating serial number printing, and the like. Display controller (display-〇NT) 1
9 controls the display of the display 18 using the display RAM 20 under the control of the CPU10. The floppy disk device 21 has a disk interface (FDD-IF).
Under the control of the CPU 10 via 22, created documents are saved and external characters, second level characters, etc. are stored.

The handy printer 23 connects to the CP via a handy printer interface (handy printer IF) 24.
Under the control of U 10, a document containing numerical values to be serially printed or character information read into the main body from the floppy disk device 21 is printed.

The operation of the document creation device configured in this way will be explained.

Here, it is assumed that a document including numerical values input from the keyboard 16 is printed by the handy printer 23 connected via the handy printer interface 24. This handy printer 23 has RAM 1
The document data stored in the document storage area of 1 is printed one specified line at a time.

First, the document storage 6 that has already been created and is in the RAM 11
When printing documents stored in the n area, the user specifies whether or not to execute serial number printing for the documents designated for printing (step Sl).

Here, if the user does not specify serial number printing, the lines specified for printing are developed into a print pattern (step S
4), printing is executed (step S5). Note that since the configuration is such that printing is performed using the handy printer 23,
Here, the sequential number print specification range is one line at a time.

When the user specifies execution of serial number printing, a search is made to see if numerical data exists in the line specified to be printed (step S2). Here, if there is no numerical data, the data is developed into a print pattern as is (step S4), and printing is executed (step S5).

Furthermore, if there is numerical data, it is developed into a printing pattern (step S6) and printing is executed (step S6).
7). At this time, if a plurality of numerical data exist on the same line, for example, the numerical data located on the right side of the display screen is targeted.

After the line containing the numerical data is printed in this manner, it is determined whether the numerical code X to be serially printed is a Chinese numeral or an alphanumeric character (step S8).

If the numerical code X is an alphanumeric code, it is converted to the numerical value 2 corresponding to this alphanumeric code X (step S9
), 1 is added to this value (step S10).

Then, it is converted into an alphanumeric code corresponding to this updated numerical value 2 (step S11). On the other hand, if the numerical code X is a Chinese numeral, it is converted into a numerical value y corresponding to this alphanumeric code X (step 512), and 1 is added to this numerical value (step S13). Then, this updated numerical value y is converted into a corresponding Chinese numeral code (step S11). In addition, the print display is alphanumeric characters rl, 2°..., 9. OJ and the Chinese numerals “-22,..., 9,
It corresponds to O.J. Therefore, alphanumeric "10"
corresponds to the Chinese numeral r-OJ, and is not "ten".

Next, it is determined whether or not there is a carry in the numeric code updated in this way (step 515). If it is determined that there is a carry, carry processing is performed on the numeric code (step 516). Then, a numeric code that has undergone carry processing or a step Sl without a carry.
1. The numerical code converted in SL4 is stored in the document storage area.

(Step S17). At this time, storage in the document area is as follows:
The numerical code that was first searched for as a target for serial number printing is rewritten. Furthermore, if there is a carry in the numerical value, a numerical code corresponding to the carry is inserted.

In this way, the content of the document with the numerical code targeted for serial number printing rewritten is displayed (step S 1g)
.

Furthermore, if serial number printing is to be performed repeatedly, the serial number printing designated line is searched again for a numeric code (step S
3), and the same process is repeated thereafter.

In this way, when the serial number printing is completed and the instruction to end the serial number printing process is input after the updated document content is displayed (step 519), the serial number printing mode is ended.

In this way, the numerical information to be serial number printed is searched for in the printed document, the numerical value is updated after printing, and the numerical information to be serial number printed is rewritten and stored in the document area again. This eliminates the need to input numerical values each time a serial number is printed, making it easy to print serial numbers.

In the above embodiment, serial number printing in which the numerical value increases is explained, but by subtracting 1 during the update process, it is possible to perform reverse serial number printing in which the numerical value decreases. In this case, in step S15, it is determined whether or not there is a carry down, and if there is a carry down, a carry down processing is performed.

Further, in the above embodiment, serial numbers were printed for Chinese numerals and alphanumeric characters, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to apply the present invention to serial number printing for other different character types or character sizes.

Furthermore, although the document was printed using a handy printer, it goes without saying that other printing means may be used.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, in a document creation device that stores documents, numerical information to be serial number printed is retrieved from documents stored in a document area, and this numerical information is By updating the numeric information in the document area that is the target of serial number printing and storing it again, there is no need to enter characters each time when printing serial numbers, so serial number printing is possible. Necessary documents can be created efficiently.

Further, since different character types can be subjected to serial number printing, serial number printing can be performed over a wide range.
