Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is a method of writing an original text in an abbreviated form by hand, and then automatically processing the entire process from input to generation of a non-abbreviated sentence. The present invention relates to a text creation support device that can efficiently output a large amount of text.

[Conventional technology]

In general, when creating a text using a word processor, etc., consider the original text, and when inputting it, enter all the characters of the original text, or even if you input in abbreviated form, use the keys on the word processor etc. to input kana-kanji. It requires manpower and time to convert and output sentences that include kanji. In addition, normally, when using the same term in one sentence repeatedly, it is necessary to input it many times according to the characters in the sentence. Similarly, when making corrections, if there are many places to convert, It is necessary to interactively correct each part of the text while finding the content. Therefore, when creating, changing, and revising a large amount of text, it takes a lot of manpower and time.

Figure 5 shows the configuration of a conventional document creation device. In the figure, 1 is a keyboard for inputting characters and controlling commands, and 2 is a display such as a character display (CRT) that displays the text being created. Equipment, 3 is text creation 2
Edit 2 A computer main body that controls the input and output of text data, 4 a floppy disk that stores text data, and 5 an output device such as a printer or profiler that outputs the created text data.

When creating a sentence using the conventional device as described above, all the necessary sentences are created and input. Conventional word processing devices are commonly used, so the details of their implementation will be omitted. I will briefly explain the main points.

- To create a document using a word processor, first create all the original text you want to create by hand.

Next, while looking at the original text, input all the characters using keyboard 1. At this time, the specified processing is performed in the computer main body 3 by the function command of the keyboard operation.Normally, the input character data is stored in the floppy disk 4 and displayed on the character display (CR).
It is shown on the display device 2 such as T). While checking it, make corrections and FI collections as necessary to create the text.

The text is hard-copied using an output device 5 such as a printer or a profiler, and the finished state is checked.

Then, if there are no mistakes or changes in all the characters input in sequence, the creation of the sentence is completed, as in the original text. Furthermore, even when inputting original text in abbreviated form, input is performed manually by key operation, and Japanese text is converted into kana-kanji, etc.

As mentioned above, with conventional text creation devices such as word processors, each time you want to engrave and output all the characters, or even in the abbreviated form, you have to manually input the key or convert the characters into kana/kanji. , with conventional abbreviation formats, it is difficult to quickly and clearly distinguish between abbreviated sentences and non-abbreviated sentences. In addition, when the amount of text data increases, a large amount of manpower and time must be spent on key human resources, and for the reasons mentioned above, one user occupies a large amount of the device, resulting in poor processing efficiency. There was a point.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, with conventional document creation devices, you either create an original text that describes all the sentences you want to create, or even if you use an abbreviated format, you input the characters of those sentences using the keys2.
Then, if necessary, perform character conversion such as kana-kanji conversion. Furthermore, in the case of modifying input data, it is also time-consuming because the user inputs a modified sentence using key operations or performs command operations sequentially and interactively. Therefore, inputting, converting, and modifying the original text requires a lot of effort and time to convert into a word processor because of the above-mentioned key human labor and correction work. Furthermore, there is a problem that - number of users tend to occupy one word processor for a long time, resulting in poor processing efficiency.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems with the conventional ones. By simply specifying the mode switch of the processing control section, handwritten abbreviated original texts, abbreviated definition sentences, etc. can be automatically input. - Through consistent processing, it is possible to output non-abbreviated sentences, and in the case of changes and corrections, the handwritten data necessary for correction can be automatically entered by setting the mode switch, so that You can change and modify related parts all at once, so you can create the original text,
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a text creation support device that can save time for inputting and editing, save manpower, speed up word processing, and improve processing efficiency.

[Means to solve the problem]

The text creation support device according to the present invention automatically inputs an abbreviated original text including a handwritten abbreviation mark, an abbreviation definition, etc.
This system uses an abbreviation definition statement to generate and output a non-abbreviated original text from a handwritten abbreviated original text, and further uses handwritten edit data to make changes and corrections to the relevant parts of the original text all at once. .

[Operation] With the above-described configuration, the present invention automatically inputs the abbreviation original text including the abbreviation mark and the data of the abbreviation definition, and allows handwritten abbreviations by simply setting the abbreviation mode using the processing control unit. It automatically inputs the original text and abbreviated definition data to generate a non-abbreviated original text, and allows you to make changes and corrections all at once by simply setting the edit mode, allowing you to efficiently create large amounts of documents to be converted into word processors.

Next, FIGS. 1 and 2 show the operation of this device.

This will be explained using FIG. First, when the data of the abbreviated original text 10° and the abbreviated definition 10' is created, the process proceeds according to the flow shown in FIG. At this time, processing mode setting is performed in the processing control unit 12 (step 20).Here, if the omission mode is specified, input selection can be made (step 2).
1). Therefore, when setting the mode, simply pressing the abbreviation mode switch 12a of the processing control section 12 sets the abbreviation mode function (step 22), and the processing thereafter proceeds automatically.

At this time, the abbreviated original text and abbreviated definition are read in as handwritten (step 26), and each data is stored in the abbreviated original text memory and the abbreviated definition memory (step 27).

Next, a program in the computer that operates in accordance with this abbreviation mode reads the abbreviation mark in the original text, searches the abbreviation definition memory, and extracts abbreviations in that range (step 28), and whether or not there is an abbreviation definition. is determined (step 29), and if there is no message, a message is output (step 30). If there is an abbreviation definition, the sentence corresponding to the extracted abbreviation form is detected from the abbreviation definition memory, and based on that, the abbreviation is replaced with a normal sentence that does not abbreviate (
Step 31). Store this in a text file (floppy disk or large memory (auxiliary memory if necessary) (step 7, block 32), and if you want to check the result, select an output device (step 33) and display it on the CRT 2, It is output as a hard copy to an output bag w18 such as a printer (step 34).

Next, in the mode setting (step 20), when the edit mode switch 12b is pressed, the edit mode V function is set and the edit definition is processed (step 40), and the changed data is automatically inputted by hand. (Step 41), extracts the changed part corresponding to the data from the text file based on the edit definition data (Step 42), and replaces the extracted changed part with the defined change statement (Step 42). 43).

The same process is continued in sequence while returning to step 4o until the change definition statement is completed (step 44).

When the process is finished, the process is stopped (step 45).

In addition, when specifying the mode setting, the normal mode switch 1
When 2c is selected, normal key operation processing without omission can be performed. It should be noted that the steps from step 5o onwards are the same as in the prior art, so illustration and description will be omitted.

FIG. 3 shows a specific process of creating a text using the device of this embodiment. In this example, the abbreviation original text and abbreviation definition are written by hand. In the example shown in the figure, the sentence between * and * is considered an abbreviated sentence. So “*Sutejishi*”, “*Sashi*”
, “*Rensetsukenpu*” etc. are omitted from the original text. So, *
Provide abbreviated definitions, such as the automatic self-scanning test generation system, the *sacy subsystem, and the logical design verification program. By creating these data by hand and sequentially executing processing from automatic reading as described above, a text such as the example of the processing result shown in FIG. 3 can be obtained. Also, as an example in the edit mode, the fourth
The results of changes and corrections are shown as shown in the figure.

By outputting and displaying these sentences, sentences can be created in a short time. Furthermore, when changing or correcting mistakes in the created text, by pressing the edit mode switch 12b and inputting the data for changes and corrections, a large amount of data can be corrected in one operation.

In the above description, three types of mode settings have been shown in the processing control section of FIG. 1, but modes can be added according to the requirements of the processing function. Further, in the configuration example shown in FIG. 1, the abbreviated original text memory and the abbreviated definition memory have been explained separately, but they can also be treated separately as files in the same memory. Furthermore, in the above explanation, it was explained that the abbreviation original text and the abbreviation definition are read at the same time, but if you store standardized abbreviation definitions in the abbreviation definition memory in advance, you can write only the abbreviation original text and input only the original text. I can do it.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the text creation support device according to the present invention, after creating an abbreviated original text, simply by pressing the abbreviation mode switch, the entire process from automatic input to generation of a non-abbreviated original text is performed.
