Abstract

PURPOSE:To input a sentence or the like without paying attention to an image to print the sentence without overlapping the image by providing a means which reads this image drawn on a form to be printed. CONSTITUTION:First, a user sets the size of the form, and a printable area is calculated based on this information. Next, image information on the form to be printed is read. Correction is performed in accordance with this image information so that the printable area can be calculated. For example, if the read image is oblique or occupies a wide area, such correction is so performed that this character processing device can limit form information. When the indent insertion processing is selected, a user can judge the printable area. When this processing is started, read image information is referred to search the position where image data exists.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of Industrial Cards] The present invention relates to a character processing device, and more particularly to a character processing device that is equipped with an image reading neck device and automatically sets a print format.

[Prior Art] In conventional character processing devices, if some information already exists, it is necessary to print on the 4,1(j-to). Text had to be manually edited while always being aware of the location of the print and the location of the print, which required very troublesome operations.

[Thousand Steps and Actions to Solve the Problems] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a character processing device that allows the user to easily print without using existing images. It is about providing.

In order to achieve this object, the invention has identified text information storage means for storing text information, image reading means for reading images on paper, and image information position determination means for calculating the position of image information. The apparatus includes a control means for inserting symbol data to inform the user of the position.

According to the present invention, when printing text information on paper on which an image already exists, the user can create the text without being aware of the position of the image.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of a character processing system according to the present invention.

Here, 1 is the keypad 1-, which is a human-powered device that has pron, nk, tab, keys to move to a specific position within the block, and keys to instruct other characters to perform the necessary processing. be.

Reference numeral 2 denotes an image reading device, which performs operations such as reading paper to be printed.

3 is a CPU in the form of a microprocessor, for example,
Based on the processing procedure stored in the ROM 4, necessary control for character processing is performed.

The RAM 5 is a writable memory and includes a text memory 6, an image information storage area 7, a paper information storage area 8, and other memory areas 9 necessary for character processing.

10 is a display device on which characters, a cursor, indentation, etc. are displayed.

Reference numerals 11 denote address signals, data signals, and control signals necessary for controlling each part.

FIG. 2 shows a file I-j for implementing the process Jjlj according to the present invention.
This is J.

First, the user sets the paper size. Based on this information, a printable area is calculated (111) (S1). Next, the image information of the printed paper is read (S2)
. Correction is performed so that the printable area can be calculated from this image information (S3).

For example, if the read image is slanted or a wide area is read, the user uses the text processing device of the present invention to limit the paper information.

Then select Inden 1/Insert processing (S4)] - Neha,
The user can determine the printable area.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart 1 showing details of the indent insertion processing procedure shown in step S4.

When this process is activated, information on the paper size is stored in the memory (S4.l). Step S4.2 refers to the read and stored image information and performs a process of searching for a location where image data exists. Then, in S4.3, it is determined whether or not image information exists. If the image information does not exist, the process ends, and if the image information exists, the process proceeds to 54.4.

In S4.4, the image data position is stored, and S4.5
Based on the size of the image stored in 84.1, calculate where in the image the data is located, and calculate the position in which row and digit based on the paper information set in advance. Calculate whether it corresponds to .

S4.6 Indent 1 at the corresponding line column position of the paper information
・ is inserted and the process returns to S4.2.

FIG. 4(a) shows the paper on which the image 12 read by the image reading device is printed, and FIG. 4(b) shows the paper information stored in the RAM 5 after the above-mentioned indent insertion process has been performed. .

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, with the wood-invented character processing device, when printing on paper on which illustrations or text have been printed in advance, it is possible to avoid overlapping the illustrations, etc., without any troublesome operations on the part of the user. It prints out like this.
