Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an initial display start position of an already created document, etc., and a method of specifying the position in a document display and editing device.

[Conventional technology] In the conventional technology, when displaying a registered document, it is always displayed from the beginning of the document, and if the part you want to display or edit is not at the beginning of the document, you can specify the page or scroll. The screen control keys such as , etc. were used to display the desired screen for display and editing.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional technology is used when a document being created or edited is registered once, and when the document is called up later and the user wants to input or edit the continuation of the document again. , the user had to operate screen control keys such as page designation and scrolling 1. The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of the possibility that when displaying an already created document, the user wants to display it first. The goal is to be able to display the highest part.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above purpose, instead of displaying the document sequentially from the beginning, at the start of display, the end position of the document is acquired, the display start position is set so that the position can be displayed, and the The display is set to start from the display start position, and the cursor is set to the first input position after the end of the sentence.

Furthermore, in order to display from the part that was displayed at the time of document registration, information about the display position 1 at the time of document registration is also registered with the document data, and the document is displayed using the information about the display position. The cursor is set to the same position as the one set when the document was registered.

Further, in order to determine the display start position according to the type of document, the type of the document is referenced when the display of the document is started, and the display start position 1 is determined according to the glazing of the document.

Furthermore, in order to set the display start position in a manner desired by the user, the display start position can be set by the user.

[Effect]

When the display of a registered document is instructed, the end position of the document is acquired, the display start position is set so that the end position can be displayed, and the cursor is moved to input after the end of the sentence. Since it is set at the possible beginning position, it is easy to input new documents after the end of the sentence.

Furthermore, when registering a document, information about the part that was displayed last time is also registered, so by using this information, you can display the same position or set the cursor at the same position as when registering the document. is now possible. This saves you the trouble of having to operate the screen control keys to highlight the desired location when you register a document during editing or proofreading and want to continue editing or proofreading later. .

Furthermore, the document type is referenced and the display is performed from the most appropriate position depending on the type, which is convenient when the desired display location differs depending on the document type.

Furthermore, since the user can specify from which position in the document the document should be displayed, it is possible to display the part according to the user's wishes.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of at least the elements necessary to explain this embodiment in a document processing device that displays and edits documents and the like.

In FIG. 1, when a document update process is instructed from the input device 1, the control section 7 instructs the document data management section 2 to call up the specified document, and the document data management section stores the document in the storage device 3. The stored document data and the like are developed on the memory 4, and the control unit is notified that the document call has been completed. In response to this, the control section sets the display start position and position in the display data creation section 8, and sends the display data to the display control section 5, which performs display using the display device t6.

At this time, the display data creation section obtains the total number of lines in the document through the document data management section, and if the total number of lines in the document is larger than the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen, the display data creation section acquires the number of lines to be displayed at the display start position. Instead of setting the first line in the document, a value that is larger than the value obtained by subtracting the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen from the total number of lines in the document and does not exceed the total number of lines in the document is set.

The number of lines that can be displayed on the screen here refers to the number of lines that can be physically displayed, not 11, but the number of lines that can actually be displayed during display processing. When a window is displayed and a called document is displayed in the window, the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen is smaller than the number of lines that the display device can display. Furthermore, the display start position is not the upper left of the entire display screen but the upper left of the window on the display screen. Furthermore, lines that do not normally display documents, such as the guidance area, are not included in the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen.

In Figure 2, the line to be displayed at the display start position is set to the value obtained by subtracting the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen from the total number of lines in the document and adding 1, and the position of the beginning of the large blade at the end of the document is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Fig. 3 shows a first display example in which the value of the total number of lines in the document is set in the line to be displayed at the display start position, and the large blade head position at the end of the document is at the top sl of the screen. This shows a second display example.

Display example 41 has the advantage that it is easy to understand what content to start inputting, and the second display example has the advantage of simply entering new content after the end of the sentence, regardless of the content at the end. It is convenient in such cases.

As shown in Figure 4, when registering a document, information related to the screen displayed at the time of registration is recorded along with the document data, etc., and when the document is called up and displayed, By referring to the information regarding the display screen, it is possible to reproduce the portion that was displayed before registration.

In the example shown in Figure 4, information about the display start position on the screen is recorded as data to be registered together with the document data, etc. Make a note of which part of the throat corresponds (you can also strain it).

If you record the position of the cursor (1. Even if the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen when you call it up and display it is smaller than when the document was registered, the cursor position will be recorded. This has the advantage of being able to display the location targeted for collection.

Also, if you set the cursor position 11 to the same position as when registering the document, it will be easier to understand what kind of process you are trying to perform and what document registration was performed.0 The method using Figure 4 explained above By using , you can not only add characters at the end of the sentence and
Even if editing operations are performed in the middle of a document, the continuation can be displayed.

Setting the display start position with reference to the document type increases the possibility that the display start position will be the desired position. For example, for normal documents, the beginning of the sentence, for memo documents, the end of the sentence, for schedules, etc., the area around the date of recall, and for databases, the index portion.

It is considered that it is not always preferable to display from the end of the sentence or from the part that was being displayed at the time of registration.

Therefore, if the user specifies in advance which part of the document is to be displayed, the user can select the display method that the user considers most appropriate.

In this case, each time the document starts to be displayed, a menu screen as shown in Figure 5 appears, and the first menu screen prompts the user to make a selection each time.
Alternatively, a menu screen as shown in Fig. 6 may be used, and the display start position It may be determined in advance when the synusystem is started or (for example, when the user instructs to change the environment). An example of a second method may be used, in which the information is always displayed in the same manner unless changed by the operator.

In the first method, you can specify the most appropriate position depending on the document to be displayed, and in the second method, there is no need to set the display start position every time you start displaying. There are advantages.

The number of lines that can be displayed on the screen mentioned in this embodiment is not the number of lines that can be physically displayed on the screen, but rather the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen in actual display processing.
For example, when displaying a window on the display screen during a certain process as shown in Figure 7, and displaying a called document in it, the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen is the number of lines that can be displayed. fewer lines than the device can display. Furthermore, the display start position is not the upper left part of the entire display screen but the upper left part of the displayed window. Also,
In the guidance area, lines that do not normally display documents are not included in the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, when starting to display an already created document, the user can operate the display screen so that the part that the user is most likely to want to display first can be displayed. It can save you time and effort.
