Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a data setting device for setting data input by an operator in order to execute a predetermined process.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a device for setting data input by an operator to execute a predetermined process, for example,
In a document creation device, when inserting another document in an insert file into a document to be created, it is considered that numerical data is set in the document to be created according to the content of the insert file. If the number to be set is a two-digit number, as shown in Figure 7, when the operator inputs the two-digit number, for example '12', the first 1st digit “
1pa is displayed in the lower digits (FIG. 7(a)). Next, 1
The number “1” in the digit is moved to the upper digit, and the number “2” in the second digit is moved to the upper digit.
” is displayed in the lower digits, and the two-digit number “12” is displayed (FIG. 7(b)). After that, this number “12”
is set, and the processing according to the number "12" is performed, that is,
The document corresponding to the numerical data "J2" among the other documents in the insertion file to be inserted into the document to be created is specified and set.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in these conventional devices, the number 1112+1 inputted by the operator is corrected and the number 113 is changed to the one-digit number 113.
! If you try to set 1 and enter the number fl12+1 followed by the number ``3°'', for example, the number ``2'' will be moved to the upper digit and the number ``2'' will appear on the display.
3" is displayed (Figure 7(c)). Or,
Even if the number ``3'' is entered, the input is not accepted, and the number ``12'' remains displayed, and the display does not change. Like these, in the conventional ones, the number 111
If you try to correct the number "°3'" after correcting "2+", you will have to reset the set number "12" and enter the number "°°3" again. If it is not reset, there is a problem that incorrect data may be set, or data may not be set, making operations cumbersome.

Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the above problems,
An object of the present invention is to provide a data setting device that can easily change data settings.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration as a means for solving the problem. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 1, there is a storage means M2 that sequentially transfers and stores multiple digit data sequentially input by the input means M1 to higher digits, and a set value based on the data stored in the storage means M2. ,
a comparison determination means M3 for comparing and determining a predetermined maximum of one shift;
When the comparison determination means M3 determines that the set value is less than the maximum value, the first data setting means M4 uses the contents of the storage means M2 as setting data, and the comparison determination means M3 determines that the set value is lower than the maximum value. When it is determined that the maximum value is exceeded, a second data setting means M5 stores the contents of the storage means M2 with the upper digits deleted in the storage means M2, and uses the contents as setting data; This is the configuration of the data setting device characterized by the following.

[Operation] In the data setting device having the above configuration, the storage means M2 is
A plurality of digits of data operated by an operator and sequentially inputted by the input means M1 are sequentially transferred to higher digits and stored;
The comparison and determination means M3 compares and determines the set value according to the data stored in the storage means M2 and a predetermined maximum value, and the first data setting means M4 determines that the set value is less than the maximum value by the comparison and determination means M3. When it is determined, the second data setting means M5 sets the contents of the storage means M2 as the setting data, and when the comparison and determination means M3 determines that the set value exceeds the maximum of 1 shift, the second data setting means M5 sets the contents of the storage means M2 as the setting data. The contents with the upper digits deleted are stored in the storage means M2, and the contents are used as setting data.

[Example code] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of a document creation device that is an embodiment of the present invention. This document creation device includes a keyboard 1 as an input means M1 for inputting characters and editing instructions, a display 3 for displaying characters and figures, a flexible disk drive 5 as an external recording device, and a daisy wheel for inputting characters and figures. a printer 7 that prints using typefaces;
The electronic control unit 10 is connected to these devices and executes various control processes such as creating basic document files and insert files, and printing created documents.

The electronic control device 10 includes a well-known CPU11. R○M12.
It is configured as a logic operation circuit mainly including RAM 14, etc., and controls a video RAM 15 that records pattern data of characters and figures to be displayed on the display 3, a keyboard input board 16 that inputs key data from the keyboard 1, and a flexible disk drive 5. and read the data.
The flexible disk drive controller that performs writing includes a printer output boat 20 that outputs print data to the printer 7 and the like.

The RAM 14 includes a text memory 14a for storing basic document files, an insert file memory 14b for storing insert files and files, a work memory 14c used for temporarily storing data when creating and printing documents, and upper digits. It is provided with a merge memory 14d that stores a two-digit number consisting of a lower digit and a lower digit, and stores various data in a rewritable manner.

Next, the video RAM 15 has a so-called dual port RAM configuration, and is configured to be accessible also by a display controller 22 provided independently of the CPU II. The display controller 22 controls the video RA at a period determined by the scanning frequency of the display 3.
The contents of M15 are repeatedly read out and displayed on the display 3. Therefore, the video RAM is
The data written in the predetermined area of 5 is immediately displayed on the display 3.

The keyboard 1 also includes numeric keys 30 for inputting numbers "1 to 9" and "0", character keys 31 for inputting characters, and a return key 32 for inputting line breaks and data confirmation. , an instruction key 33 for issuing various commands such as document creation, editing, and printing, and a cursor key 35 for moving a cursor.

Next, in order to execute a predetermined process in the document creation device of this embodiment, the data set by the operator is applied to other documents in the insertion file when inserting another document into the document to be created. An example will be explained in which the corresponding numerical data is used.

Here, in the electronic control device 10, when a basic document creation command is given, character codes output from the keyboard 1 and various control codes for document editing are sequentially stored in the text memory 14a according to a preset control program. Document creation processing such as writing and displaying on the display 3 is executed, and thereby the basic document file is stored in the text memory 14a.

In addition, when inserting another document into the document being created, operate the instruction key 33 when creating the basic document to perform merge code setting processing during document creation, and set the merge code according to the other document to be inserted into the document being created. code number as data to
Set to 0. The insertion file in which other documents to be inserted are stored is a list 50 that associates the insertion symbol attached to the insertion position in the document with the insertion data to be inserted at the position of the insertion symbol, and is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, this list 50 is displayed on the display 3 and created. - The list 50 consists of a code NO0 list 51 and an insertion data column 52 of the document to be inserted, and the data column 52
consists of multiple lines, and each line is inserted into one document. For example, in the example shown in Figure 4, there are four types of data to be inserted into one document: 54, 56, 58, and 60, so four types of documents will be created with this data inserted as part of it. . Furthermore, in this embodiment, the code NO0 in the code NO0 column 51 can be set to a maximum value a5 of 20, for example, due to the storage area.

Furthermore, the control processing executed by the electronic control unit IO to create such insert files and basic document files can be performed in the same manner as the document editing device of Japanese Patent Application No. 1983-72257, which was previously filed by the present applicant. Therefore, detailed explanation will be omitted here.

Further, the insert file created as described above is stored in the insert file memory 14b with a file name assigned, similarly to the basic document file.

Next, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing this merge code setting routine executed by the electronic control unit 10.
According to this figure 3, code NO.

The process of setting will be explained.

This process is interrupted when a merge code setting command is issued by operating the instruction key 33 in order to insert the document in the insert file into the document being created. At that time, the screen of the display 3, as shown in FIG.
The cursor blinks in the area that displays the digit number.

When the process starts, first, rice weighting is executed to set the key flag F to 0 (step 100, hereinafter simply 81).
Represented by 00. The same goes for other steps. ). next,
5110 to determine whether there is any key input
), if no key is pressed, waits until a key is pressed,
When there is a key input, the key input is number key 3
Determine whether or not the input is 00 (9120). If the input is the number key 30, the key in flag F is set to 1.
(S130), since it is initially set to O due to periodization, the key flag F is set to 1.
(5140). Next, after erasing the contents of the merge memory 14d in which the setting data of a certain number is stored due to the execution of the previous process (S150), the number entered by the number key 30 is stored in the lower digit of the merge memory 14d. The data is stored (S160). Subsequently, the numerical data of the contents in the merge memory 14d is displayed on the display 3 (5170). That is, when the numerical data input by the numerical key 30 is "1", as shown in FIG. 6(a), "1" is displayed at the upper right of the display screen shown in FIG. 5.

After displaying on the display 3, the processes from 5110 onwards are repeatedly executed, and the settings made by the operator are confirmed as above 1.
If the setting is for numeric data with only digits, when the operator presses the return key 32 after completing the setting (S110), it is determined that the return key 32 has been pressed (S120°180), and the merge code is set. Canceling the mode and transitioning to normal document creation mode (S190)
.

In addition, the key input is not the number key 30 (S120),
If it is not the return key 32 (S180), for example, if it is the character key 31, etc., it is assumed that the input data is incorrect and a buzzer sounds to notify the operator of the incorrect input.

On the other hand, when the operator wants to set two-digit numerical data, without pressing the return key 32, the operator presses the numerical key 30 corresponding to the first-digit numerical data, and then sets the second-digit numerical data. Press the corresponding number key 30. As a result, the processes from 8110 onward are repeatedly executed, and when the second digit key 30 is pressed, it is determined that the key in flag F is set to 1 (S
130). Then, the 816 in the merge memory 14d
By executing the 0 process, the numerical data stored in the lower digits is moved to the higher digits (S210).

Next, merge the input 2nd digit numerical data into merge memory 1.
It is stored in the lower digit of 4d (S220).

Subsequently, the two-digit numerical data stored in the merge memory 14d is set to the preset maximum value a, for example °'
20" (5230). If this numerical data is smaller than the maximum value a, the data in the merge memory 14d is displayed on the display 3 (S
170). That is, the input second digit numerical data is t
+ Q I! In this case, as shown in Fig. 6 (1)), ° “12” is displayed in the upper right corner of the display screen shown in Fig. 5.
Display. After this, when the operator presses the return key 32, 1112+1 will be set as the numerical data (31B0.190).

On the other hand, if the operator makes a mistake in inputting numerical data that should be set or wants to correct it, for example, 141211
If you want to reset the setting to 3'' instead of , press the number key 30 without pressing the return key 32.
If you press "3", 8110~130,210.22
0 processing is executed, the data in the lower digits of the merge memory 14d is moved to the upper digits, and then numeric data "3" is stored in the lower digits in the merge memory 14d.Therefore, the numeric data is stored in the merge memory 14d. Therefore, "23" is stored as "23".

Next, in this state, if it is determined that the numerical data in the merge memory 14d exceeds the maximum (ffla) through the processing at 5230, the input numerical data is not displayed on the display 3 and is stored in the merge memory. Processing is performed to erase only the numerical data of the upper digits in 14d (S240)
. As a result, only the lower digit numeric data "'3" is stored in the merge memory 14d. Next, a buzzer sounds to alert the operator to whether the numbers are correct, and the merge memory 14d
The numerical data within is displayed on the display 3 (S170
). That is, when the numerical data inputted using the numerical key 30 is 3'', the one-digit number °"3" is displayed in the upper right corner of the display screen shown in FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. 6(C).
” is displayed.

After this, when the return key 32 is pressed by the operator, "3" is set as the numerical data (5180.190).

In this way, when the numeric data first input by the operator from the numeric key 30 is "1", "2゛°," and the newly input corrected numeric data is 3', "
3" is set as the numeric data. Also, if the initially input numeric data is "1", 2", and the newly input corrected numeric data is 2 digits "1", '35', , Similarly, by processing 9210.220, “15”
is set as numerical data.

In this embodiment, the case where the numerical data to be set is two digits is taken as an example, but the numerical data is not limited to two digits, and may be three or more digits, and can be implemented in the same manner. For example, if the maximum value a is 500'', the first numerical data entered are ``1'', ``5'', and ``6゛'', and the numerical data you want to correct and set is ``'61''. If you then input 11111, the numeric data in the merge memory 14d will be moved to the higher digits, and 561" will be stored as the numeric data, but the maximum value "500" will be stored.
Since the value exceeds "', the upper digit numeric data "°5" is deleted and "61" is stored in the merge memory 14d. By pressing the return key 32, "61" is deleted. Set as numeric data.

Furthermore, when the maximum value a is exceeded, only the last input numerical value, that is, the least significant digit, may be validated, and all the upper digits may be deleted.

Further, in this embodiment, the case where the code No. of the insert file is set as data is taken as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this case, and the same implementation can be made in the case where the data to be set is the left margin, right margin, etc. Furthermore, the present invention can be implemented similarly when setting data not only in a document creation device but also in other devices such as a facsimile machine or a copy machine.

In addition, the process of 5210.220 works as the storage means M2, the process of 55230 works as the comparison and determination means M3, and the process of 8
The processing at 150 and 160 works as the first data setting means M4, and the processing at 5240 works as the second data setting means M5.

As described above, the data setting device of this embodiment sequentially moves and stores data inputted by the numeric keys 30 by operation of the operator to the upper digits (5210.220).
The set value based on the data stored in the merge memory 14d is compared and determined with a predetermined maximum value a (5230), and when it is determined that the set value exceeds the maximum value a, the upper digit data is erased and the data is merged into the merge memory. 14d (S24
0).

Therefore, when correcting the numeric data that was originally input, you can enter the new numeric data without clearing the numeric data that you entered, and you will be able to set the corrected numeric data. , correction input becomes easy. Further, data exceeding the maximum value a is not set by mistake, and processing is not executed due to incorrect data.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not equally limited to these embodiments, and it goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, the data setting device of the present invention sequentially moves and stores sequentially input numerical data to higher digits, and when the set value of the input numerical data exceeds the maximum value,
Since the data of the upper digits are deleted and stored, it is possible to easily correct the numeric data by continuing to input the numeric data as it is after correction.

Also, data exceeding the maximum value will not be set.
This also has the effect that processing will not be executed due to incorrect data.
