JPH02273262A - Cassette index preparation - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To make possible the holding of apparently various types of format data in a limited memory space and thereby make the beast of the storage function by adding pictorial code data selected from among various types of pictorial code data to a single type of format data and outputting print. CONSTITUTION:Print format data for preparing a cassette index is stored in data holding memory 1. This print format data consists of a single type of format data comprising information concerning date, time, the distinction between stereophonic and monophonic types as well as format and rule for printing a music name, and various types of pictorial code data indicating music categories. A keyboard 2 is used for the entry of character data such as date, time and music name and data indicating music categories. An editing process section 3 reads pictorial code data corresponding to a selected music category from memory 1, and adds this data which has been read to format data to prepare print data. A printer 4 prints a cassette index.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a method for creating a cassette index for a music tape cassette using a word processor.

<Prior art> Figure 3 shows the format of the index of a music tape cassette, in which the date, time, and
There are fields for recording whether the song is stereo or monaural and for printing the song title. In the figure, a pictorial symbol indicating the genre of music (for example, a pictorial symbol of a guitar for rock music) is printed in the column indicated by a.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> When printing the cassette index using a word processor, the formants such as date, time, and song title are all the same, but the pictorial symbols differ depending on the genre of music. However, in the past, the same format data was stored in the memory one by one for each pictorial symbol, so there was a problem in that a large memory capacity was required.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention provides a cassette index creation method for printing out a cassette index by adding pictorial symbol data corresponding to a plurality of music genres to format data. It is characterized in that a cassette index is printed out by adding pictorial symbol data selected from a plurality of pictorial symbol data.

<Operation> In the cassette index creation method according to the present invention, it is only necessary to store a single format data for a plurality of types of pictorial symbol data, so the memory capacity can be reduced.

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a word processor that implements the 7) index creation method of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a data holding memory, 2 is a keyboard, 3 is an editing processing unit,
4 is a printer, and 5 is a display section.

The data holding memory 1 stores print format data for creating a cassette index. This print format data consists of single format data including date, time, stereo/monaural distinction, format for printing song titles, and ruled line information, and multiple types of pictorial symbol data indicating music genres. The keyboard 2 is used to input character data such as date, time, and song title for creating a cassette index, and to input data indicating the genre of music. The editing processing section 3 performs an editing process on the data entered manually according to the format data stored in the data holding memory 1. This editing process includes a process of reading pictorial symbol data corresponding to the selected music genre from the memory 1 and adding it to the format data to create print data. The printer 4 prints the cassette index. The display unit 5 displays format data for creating a cassette index, character information entered manually, and the created cassette index.

FIG. 2 shows the processing procedure.

First, when a predetermined operation is performed on the keyboard 2, the format data recall function is executed (step #1
). Next, when you perform a predetermined operation on the keyboard 2, format ring menus are sequentially displayed on the display section 5 (#
2). Select the format ring while looking at this (#3
．． #7. #8. #9).

After that, the selected format data is called into the text buffer by a predetermined operation, but at this time, the existing data in the text buffer is erased, so a call avoidance process is performed, and a selection is made as to whether or not to avoid it. (#3. #
4. #5). If not avoided, format data is written into the text buffer (#6). At this time,
Pictorial symbol data as the selection type is written to a fixed position in the text buffer. Thereafter, a cassette index is printed by the printer 4 through a predetermined operation.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, in the present invention, pictorial symbol data selected from multiple types of pictorial symbol data is added to one type of format data and printed out. It is not necessary to hold the same format data for each type of pictorial symbol data, and it becomes possible to hold apparently multiple types of format data in a limited memory space, allowing effective use of memory.
