Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize the automatic input of the input data at a desired position in a tabulated frame by controlling the input position in accordance with the types of characters which are inputted into said frame. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 10 processes the ruled line information or the document information inputted with instruction of an other data input key 14 and evolves the information for output of a table containing frames to a document store area 21. Then the type of the input data inputted via the key 14 is decided for each frame. The area 21 identifies and evolves the information sequentially and automatically so that the input data are closed to the right or the left based on the types of input data. Thus it is possible to input the characters or the numerical value into a tabulated frame from a desired position with a simple operation.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document processing device that inputs and edits characters in tabulated predetermined positions, and particularly relates to a document processing device that inputs and edits characters in tabulated predetermined positions. Information layout relates to a document processing device that controls position. [Background Art] Document processing devices that tabulate by combining vertical/horizontal ruled lines have been proposed.

The system is configured so that documents or numbers can be entered within the tabulated frame to create financial statements, statistical tables, address books, etc.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, when entering numbers such as amounts within the created frame, it is necessary to print them right-aligned due to the printing style, etc., and when entering characters, etc., it is necessary to print them left-aligned. The print position must be considered in advance when inputting data into the file.

Therefore, the inputting person is forced to perform a complicated process of moving a cursor or the like to a printing start position within the frame to give an instruction, and then inputting desired characters or numbers after completing this instruction. Therefore, when the number of tabulated frames increases, there is a serious problem in that the manual processing of printed information is significantly degraded compared to normal character and numeric input processing.

This invention was made in order to solve the above problems, and by controlling the position of human power according to the type of character input in the tabulated frame, human data can be displayed within the tabulated frame. An object of the present invention is to provide a document processing device that can automatically input information into a desired position.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A document processing device according to the present invention includes a determining means for determining the type of input data input to each frame, and a determining means for determining the type of input data inputted based on the type of input data determined by the determining means. The storage means is provided with expansion control means for sequentially automatically identifying and expanding the data so as to output the data in eight frames left-justified or right-justified.

In addition, there is also a specification means for specifying the left-justified or right-justified output range of the manual data input into the 8 frames, and a specification means that determines the type of input data input into each frame existing in the specified range. However, a correction means for automatically correcting the manual data development position stored in the storage means may be provided.

[Effect]

In this invention, when the type of input data input to each frame is determined by the determination means, the expansion control means outputs the input data to each frame in left-justified or right-justified format based on the input data type. The automatic identification is sequentially developed in the storage means.

Furthermore, when the specifying means specifies the range in which the input data input into the 8 frames is to be left-justified or right-aligned, the correction means determines the type of the input data input into the 8 frames existing in the specified range. At the same time, the input data development position stored in the storage means is automatically corrected, and the manually input data is outputted in a left-justified or right-justified manner.

Furthermore, when the keyboard 11, which serves as a specifying means, specifies the left-justified or right-justified output range of the input data input into the 8 frames, the CPU10, which also serves as the correction means, outputs the input data into the 8 frames existing in the specified range. While determining the type of manually input data stored in the document storage area (storage means) 21, the expanded position of the input data is automatically corrected, and the input data is output in a left-aligned or right-aligned manner.

Next, the table input processing operation according to the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the table input processing procedure according to the present invention. Note that (1) to (15) indicate each step.

Note that after creating a table in the normal document input mode and moving the data input cursor to an arbitrary location in the area in the table where you want to start input, press the input mode switching key 12 shown in FIG.
When you press , this flow starts.

First, it is determined whether the current cursor position is surrounded by ruled lines, that is, whether the cursor position is valid (1). If No, the process is terminated and the original document input mode is returned.

On the other hand, if the determination in step (1) is YES, that is, the area is surrounded by ruled lines (this area is called the r input area).
When this is confirmed, the starting digit position of the input area is stored in the digit position storage variable 23, the starting line position of the manual area is stored in the line position storage variable 24, and the number of digits in the input area is stored in the variable 26. Also, set the variable 25 to "0" and input position flag 27.
Executes initialization of variables and flags that initialize to "right justified" (2).

Next, wait for key input from the keyboard 11 (3);
When a key press occurs, it is determined whether the pressed key is the input mode switching key 12 (4), and if YES, it returns to the original document input mode, and if it is any other key (No), the pressed key is a line break. Determine if it is key 13 (5); if No, the pressed key is a numerical expression character (
(numbers, decimal points, signs, commas, etc.) 6
), if YES, proceed to step (8); if NO, set the input position flag 27 to be left justified (7). Then, in step (8), the input data is RA
The data is sequentially stored in the data manual buffer 22 of M20, and the total number of characters is stored in the variable 25. In addition, in this case, correction processing of the manual data of Kana-Kanji Conversion 9 is executed according to the input key, and data input processing is executed such as changing the contents of the data manual buffer 22 and the value of the variable 25 accordingly. ,
Return to step (3).

On the other hand, if the judgment in step (5) is YES (if it is judged that a data break has occurred), it is necessary to judge whether the relationship between the contents of variable 26 and the contents of variable 25 is 5IZE<C0UNT9) If YES, error processing is executed to display an error message on the display 15 indicating that the number of digits in the input data is too large (15), and the process returns to step (3) to correct the manual data again.

On the other hand, if the determination in step (9) is No, it is determined whether the input position flag 27 is "right justified"10), and Y
If it is ES, execute right-justification processing to copy the contents of the data manual buffer 22 to the document storage area (storage means) 21 by the number of characters indicated by the variable 25 (11), step (13)
Proceed to the following. Note that the beginning of the storage destination in the document storage area (storage means) 21 is the line position storage variable (LI) at the beginning of the input area.
NE) This is the row position indicated by 24 and the digit determined by the following equation (1).

Start of storage destination in document storage area (storage means) 21 = SI
ZE-COUNT+COLUMN (1) On the other hand, if the judgment in step (10) is No, the contents of the data manual buffer 22 are stored in the document storage area (storage means).
A "left-justification process" is executed to copy the number of characters indicated by the variable 25 to 21 (12). Note that the beginning of the storage location in the document storage area (storage means) 21 is the digit position storage variable 23.
The first line position of the input area is column 2, which is indicated by the line position storage variable 24.

Next, the input position flag 27 is set to "right justified" and the variable (COUNT) 25 is cleared to "0" (13). Then, it is checked whether an input area exists to the right of the area in the input sentence-iF storage area (storage means) 21, and if it exists, the cursor is moved to the beginning of that area (14), and the input area is moved to the beginning of that area.・The line position is stored in the column position storage variable (COLUMN) at the beginning of the input area.23. It is stored in the line position storage variable (LINE) 24 at the beginning of the input area, the number of digits in this area is stored in the variable (SIZE) 26, and the process returns to step (3). In addition, if the next manual area does not exist to the right, the leftmost area in the input area adjacent to the bottom is set as the next input area, and the cursor is moved to the beginning of this area, and the column and line positions are changed respectively. The number of digits in this area is stored in the digit position storage variable (CoLUMN) 23 at the beginning of the input area and the line position storage variable (LINE) 24 at the beginning of the input area, and the number of digits in this area is stored in the variable (S
IZE) 26 and return to step (3). In addition,
If the next input area does not exist, the process returns to step (3) without doing anything.

As a result, as shown in FIGS. 3(a) to 3(d), for example, human data can be automatically input right-justified or left-justified into eight tabulated frames while identifying the type of input data.

3(a) to 3(d) are schematic diagrams showing the transition of table input processing according to the present invention, and FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) show the transition of input display when character information In the figure, 31 is a ruled line, and a table is created by a combination of the ruled lines 31. 32 is character data, for example, it corresponds to the state in which accounting expenses have been input from the beginning to the third digit, especially the "expenses" of accounting expenses.
This corresponds to a state where 1 is indicated on the cursor next to .

33 indicates left-justified character data, for example, character data 32
Corresponding to the display when the line feed key 13 is pressed after inputting , the character data 32 is displayed from the first digit, the cursor moves 1 to the first digit of the next manual area, and the system waits for input. handle.

The same figure (C) and the same figure (d) show the input display transition state at the time of numerical information, and in these figures, 41 is numerical data,
For example, corresponding to the state where 1234 is input from the first digit,
In particular, this corresponds to a state where 1 is indicated on the cursor after ``4'' in 1234.

42 indicates right-justified numerical data, and for example, corresponds to the display when the line feed key 13 is pressed after inputting the right-justified numerical data 42, the numerical data 41 is displayed from a predetermined digit,
Move the cursor to 1 to the first digit of the next input area to correspond to the state of waiting for human power.

As can be seen from these figures, the tabulated data can be left-justified from the first digit of the tabulated frame or right-aligned from the last digit of the tabulated frame, depending on the type of input data, without specifying the input start position from the operator. This allows the operator to output the data in a number of ways, greatly reducing the input specification burden on the operator.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a case has been described in which input data is automatically input into a specified frame while determining the type of input data input sequentially by pressing the input mode switching key 12. With character or numeric data input, a range for correcting the input position is specified from the keyboard 11, the type of input data belonging to the specified range is determined, and the input position is corrected all at once. Also good.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention includes a determining means for determining the type of input data input into eight frames, and input data is left-aligned or right-aligned in the eight frames based on the manual data type determined by the determining means. Since the storage means is equipped with an expansion control means that sequentially automatically identifies and expands the data so as to output it in a sequential manner,
To be freed from complicated input start position setting as in the past, and to be able to input characters or numerical values from a desired position within a tabulated frame by simply inputting desired characters or numerical values. Therefore, input processing when creating tabulation documents can be significantly reduced.

Additionally, there is a specification means for specifying a range in which the input data input to the 8th frame is left-justified or right-aligned, and the type of input data input to the 8th frame existing in the specified range is determined by this specification means. However, since a correction means for automatically correcting the input data development position stored in the storage means is provided,
Of the 8 frames of the created table, you can selectively enter characters or numbers in a designated area, right-aligned or left-aligned. Therefore, it is possible to collectively correct the manual position of characters or numbers existing in an arbitrary range, and the excellent effect of efficiently performing input processing on a table is achieved.
