Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve operability at the time of the copying of one row by storing temporarily optional one row among the data of plural rows, and writing the data of the one row portion while inserting it into the space between the optional rows in the data of plural rows. CONSTITUTION:The data inputted from an inputting means 101 is stored previously extending over plural rows in a storing means 102, and when an instruction is given from the inputting part 101, the optional one row portion of the data of plural rows stored in the data storing means 102 is stored temporarily by a temporary storing means 103. Then, when the further instruction is issued from the inputting means 101, the data of one row portion stored in the temporary storing means 103 is read out by a writing means 104, and this read out data is written as being inserted into the space between the optional rows of the data stored in the data storing means 102. Thus, only the document data by one row portion can be copied, and the operability at the time of the copying is improved.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (a) Industrial Field of Application This invention, for example, when input data is document data, specifies part or all of the document data as an area, and The present invention relates to a document processing device having a so-called copying function that creates document data identical to document data in an area in another area.

(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, in a document processing device having a copying function as described above, when copying document data, for example, ■ move the cursor to the beginning position of the document data to be copied to determine the starting point. do.

■Move the cursor to the final position of the document data to be copied and determine the end point.

(The copy destination area is determined above).

■Instructs to store the document data (@ area) from the start point to the end point.

■Move the cursor to the location where you want to copy and decide where to copy.

■Instruct to execute copying.

This is done through operations such as:

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in this type of document processing device, even when it is desired to easily copy short document data consisting of only - lines, many of the problems described in Φ to ■ above are required. Operation is required.

This invention was made in consideration of these circumstances, and it adds the function of copying only the document data for one line.
The present invention provides a document processing device with a single line copying function that has improved operability during copying.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. Data storage means 102 to store
and the data storage means 1 according to instructions from the input means lot.
Temporary storage means for temporarily storing an arbitrary line of the plurality of lines of data stored in 02 until the next line is stored; and 1.
03. Temporary storage means 1 according to instructions from input means lot
This is a document processing device with a single line copying function, which is equipped with a writing means 104 that reads one line of data stored in a data storage 102 and writes the data by inserting it between arbitrary lines of the data stored in a data storage 102.

Note that the input means 101 in this invention may be any device that can input various data, such as a keyboard, a tablet device, or an OCR.

A magnetic tape device or the like is used.

Further, as the data storage means 102, a core memory, an IC memory, etc., which can store various data,
An external storage medium such as AM, a floppy disk device, or a magnetic disk device is used.

Furthermore, the -time storage means 103 may be any device that can temporarily store various data, and mainly uses a RAM such as a core memory or an IC memory.

As the writing means 104, it is generally convenient to use a microprocessor.

(e) Effect As shown in FIG. 1, according to the present invention, the input means 10
The data inputted from 03 is stored in the data storage means 102 over multiple lines, and when there is an instruction from the input means 101, the data is stored in the data storage means 102 by the -time storage means 03. Temporarily store any one line of multiple lines of data.

Then, when there is a further instruction from the input means fil, the writing means 104 reads one line of data stored in the - hour storage means lO3, and the read data is stored in the data storage means 102. be inserted and written between any rows of data.

Therefore, only one line of data is always stored in the - hour storage means 103, and the - line of data is stored in the input means 101.
Since it is always inserted and written between any lines specified by , there is no need to specify the start and end points of the copy source when copying data, unlike in the past.

(f) Examples Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on examples shown in the drawings. Note that this invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In this figure, there are 1 and 2 keys, cursor keys for moving the cursor, single-line copy keys for instructing copying (described later), and function keys (or keys for giving two functions to one key). The keyboard is equipped with a shift key (shift key), etc., and is used to input various document data to the control unit 2.

The control unit 2 is composed of a microprocessor, and a ROM
Various data processes, which will be described later, are performed according to a control program written in a program memory consisting of:

Reference numeral 4 denotes a kana-kanji conversion dictionary for converting kana characters inputted from the keyboard 1 into document data containing kanji.

5 is a RAM in which a document data area 6 and a copy data area 7 are set;
Document data input from the keyboard 1 and converted into kana-kanji is stored over a plurality of lines.

In addition, the copy data area 7 temporarily stores the same content as any one line of the plurality of lines of text data stored in the wording data area 6 until the next line is stored.

8 is CRT display, LC (liquid crystal) display,
Alternatively, it is a display device such as an EL display,
The document data stored in the text data area 6 is displayed.

The control unit 2 stores the text data of the text entered from the keyboard 1 in the text data area 6 of the RAM 5.

Also, one line of the multiple lines of document data stored in the text data area 6 and displayed on the display device 8 is a keyboard! is specified by the cursor as the copy source, and when the single line copy key on the keyboard L is pressed, the document data of the line specified by the cursor is read from the document data area 6 and written to the copy data area 7. Perform processing.

Then, when the copy destination position is specified by the cursor from the keyboard l and the function key and the single line copy key of the keyboard 1 are pressed simultaneously, one line of document data is read from the copy data area 7 and the copy destination position is specified by the cursor. Transfer processing is performed to insert and write between the lines of the document data that is the copy destination.

In addition, in order to respond to continuous one-line copy instructions from the keyboard l, one line of document data in the copy data area 7 is retained in memory until it is written to the copy data area 7 next time. Then, when the function key and the one-line copy key are pressed simultaneously again, one line of document data stored in the copy data area 7 is written as is to the copy destination.

The contents of the processing operation of the control section 2 will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3.

First, when copying, the cursor is moved from keyboard 1 to the line to be copied (step 2 [), a key input is performed (step 22), and it is determined whether the key input is a line copy key. (Step 23).

In this determination, if the - line copy key is selected, the document data of the line indicated by the cursor is transferred from the document data area 6 to the copy data area 7 (step 24
).

Next, the keyboard! The cursor is moved from to the line to be copied (step 25), a key input is performed (step 26), and it is determined whether the key input is a simultaneous press of a function key and a single line copy key (step 25). Step 27
).

In this judgment, if the function key and the one-line copy key are pressed simultaneously, the document data stored in the copy data area 7 is the one specified by the cursor in the document data stored in the document data area 6. The copied data is transferred between the lines (step 28), and the entire copied document data stored in the document data area 6 is displayed on the screen of the display device 8 (step 29).

In this way, by pressing the -line copy key, -line of document data can be easily copied.

In this embodiment, only an example of copying has been described, but it is also possible to move document data by -line in the same manner as described above, and in that case, the RA as a -time storage means can be used.
When writing one line of document data in the copy data area 7 of M, the one line of document data in the document data area 6 may be erased.

(G) Effects of the Invention According to this invention, one arbitrary line of data in a plurality of rows is temporarily stored, and the data for the second row is inserted between any rows of data in the plurality of rows. I decided to write it, so
Unlike the conventional method, there is no need to specify the starting point and ending point of the copy source, and operability when copying lines can be improved.

In addition, since the memory is retained in the -time storage means until the next line is stored, specifying the copy source can be omitted even when the same content is to be copied continuously. , it is possible to further improve operability.
