Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to information creation information that makes it possible to easily identify information that has been edited in created information.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a device for creating information, for example, a text creation device that electronically creates a text is known.

When creating a text, this allows editing processes such as inserting characters and corrections to be performed as appropriate on the text once it has been created. However, since there is no way to distinguish characters inserted or corrected through editing from other characters that have not been edited, it is difficult to identify which part of the text has been edited. It was impossible.

For this reason, when checking whether a text has been edited correctly, normally it would be possible to check only the edited part, but since it is not possible to identify which part has been edited, the entire text has to be checked again. There was a drawback that efficiency was extremely low due to the writing process.

This invention was made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is possible to check the created information by adding identification information to the edited information and specially outputting only the edited information when outputting the created information. It is an object of the present invention to provide an information creation device that can perform information creation accurately and quickly, and can significantly improve the efficiency of information creation.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a text creation device.

In the figure, 1 is an input section for inputting data;
An input control section 2 is connected to this input section 1. The input control section 2 distinguishes input data from the input section 1 from newly created text data or data for editing processing.

A text creation unit 3 is connected to the input control unit 2, a storage unit 4 is connected to the text creation unit 3, and an output device such as a CRT display 6 is connected via the output unit 5.
are connected.

Further, an editing section 7 is connected to the input control section 2. The editing section 7 is connected to the storage section 4 and an identification information writing section 8. This identification information writing section 8 is for writing identification information indicating that the character string of text data has been edited.

Next, the operation of the apparatus constructed as above will be described.

When input data is given to the input unit 1, the input control unit 2 identifies whether the input data is newly created text data or data for editing processing.

Now, assuming new text data, it is input to the text creation section 3, sequentially stored in the memory 4, and given to the output section 5, where the text data is converted into a text output format as shown in Figure 2a. is output to the display 6.

In this state, if there is a part to be corrected in the sentence shown in FIG. As data in this case, for example, a cursor is used to indicate the character position to be corrected, and correct character data and function information (correction in this case) are input.
Then, the input control section 2 identifies the data as data for editing processing and sends it to the editing section 7.

The editing section 7 reads out the new text data stored in the storage section 4 and develops it in a state that makes it easy to edit. Then, based on the instruction input of the correction position, a corrected character, ie, "date" is detected from this developed text data, and a correct character, such as "time", is inserted in its place. Further, identification information is written by the identification information writing section 8 before and after the edited characters in the text data developed in the editing section 7, and this information is re-stored in the storage section 4. This state is shown in FIG.

That is, FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing a state in which text data subjected to editing processing is stored in the storage unit 4, and identification information C indicating that editing processing has been performed is given before and after the corrected characters. ing.

The text data edited in this way is converted into a text output format by the output unit 5 and output to the display 6 as shown in FIG. 2b. In this case, if the character with identification information, that is, "time", is displayed in a special display indicated by the symbol B, for example, in color, it can be easily distinguished from other characters that are not subjected to editing processing.

Therefore, with this configuration, only characters that have undergone editing processing can be specially output, so
When rereading and checking a text after editing, you only need to check the parts that have been specially output. This eliminates the need to reread the entire text to find out where you edited it, which was done in the past. You can shorten checking time and create sentences more accurately.
Work efficiency for writing texts can be significantly improved.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope without changing the gist. For example, if you edit a character once and edit it again, you can write different identification information from the previous one in the identification information writing section, so that when you check when creating a text, you can check the corrected parts. history can be displayed. In this case, if the corrected characters are also stored in memory, the characters can be displayed in the corrected order.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a color display is used as a special output indicating that editing processing has been performed, but other means such as an underline, a blinking display, black and white inversion, etc. can be used.

Furthermore, a printer may be used as the output device instead of a display. In this case as well, various means such as underlining and tint can be used as special output.

Furthermore, although we have consistently talked about document creation above, we also need to create a program source list,
Of course, it can also be applied to other information creation such as drawing creation.

As described above, according to the present invention, identification information is attached to the edited information, and when outputting the created information, only the edited information is specially output, thereby making it possible to check the created information accurately. It is possible to provide an information creation device that can quickly perform information creation and significantly improve the efficiency of information creation.
