Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily register a document with a continuous registration code by eliminating the management of the next code by reading and displaying a code behind the next sequential registration code stored in a buffer RAM from an index area corresponding to an instruction. CONSTITUTION:The final registration number of the sequential registration code of an index corresponding to the address of a registration document in the registration number storage area of the RAM 6, etc., is referred by the instruction from a keyboard 1, and the code with the next sequential unregistration number of the final registration number is read out from the registration number index area 7a of a floppy disk 7, and is displayed on a display device 5. Thereby, the next code of an unregistration document can be confirmed without performing management, and the document can be easily registered with the continuous registration code.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Industrial Application Field This invention is applicable to a computer, such as a Japanese word processor, that can store input documents in internal memory or external memory such as a floppy disk. It relates to a document processing device.

(B) Conventional Technology In the above-mentioned document processing device, when storing an input document, so-called document registration, there is a method of registering the document by giving it a name, and a method of registering the document by giving it a name.
If the device is capable of registering up to 0 documents, a code such as a number from 0 to 499 can be set internally in advance, and any code among them can be specified to register. Two registration methods are used: one is to register documents by adding a code to them.

Documents after registration are managed using registered names in the former case and registration codes in the latter case.

By the way, when writing a document created in the internal memory to an external memory such as a floppy disk, there is a separate data storage area in the external memory where the actual document is written.
An index area is provided to store the address and file size of the document, and the document is managed using this index area.

Therefore, in the external memory, respective areas are set: a registered name index for managing documents using registered names, and a registered code index for managing documents using registered codes.

In such a document processing device, when a document is registered using a code like the latter, if there are multiple documents and the documents are related in content, the documents are registered consecutively. It is often registered and managed using codes.

Therefore, when registering multiple documents that are related in content using consecutive registration codes as described above, it is necessary to write down the registered codes somewhere, or to store them in the registration code index. The system displays or prints out a document list, looks at it, determines the next code to be registered, and registers the document using that code.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, as mentioned above, when registering documents that are related in content using consecutive registration codes, it is necessary to note down the registered codes or display a document list. This means that the next code must be determined by printing and printing.
This will hinder smooth registration operations.

This invention was made in consideration of these circumstances,
To provide a document processing device with a registration next code display function, which displays the next code of the most recently used registration code when content-related documents are registered using consecutive registration codes. .

(d) Means for Solving the Problems FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the present invention has a data storage area and a plurality of data storage means 101 having an index area of
Input means 1 writes the data input from 2 into the data storage area and inputs an address indicating the writing position of the data.
02, a code storage means 104 stores the code of the index area in which the address is registered each time the registration means 103 registers the code, and a succession means 105 for reading out from the data storage means 101 a code in an index area whose address is not registered after the code stored in the memory means 104; and a succession means 10
This is a document processing device with a registered next code display function, which is equipped with display means 106 for displaying the code read out by No. 5.

Note that the data storage means lot in this invention has a data storage area capable of storing data and a pre-ordered code that can store the address of the data stored in the data storage area. It is fine as long as it can set multiple index areas.
For example, a RAM such as a core memory or an IC memory, or an external storage medium such as a floppy disk device or a magnetic disk device is used.

In addition,
The pre-ordered codes are, for example, numbers 0 to 4.
Numerical numbers such as 99, alphabetical codes such as A-Z, or AO to
A code such as Z499 that combines numerical values and alphabets should be used.

Further, as the code storage means 104, a RAM such as a core memory or an IC memory, which can store the code assigned to the index area of the data storage means 101, is mainly used.

The input means 102 may be any device that can input various types of document data and image data, such as a keyboard, a tablet device, a pointing device, or the like.

Further, as the registration means 103 and the reading means 105,
It is generally convenient to use a microprocessor.

Furthermore, the display means 106 may be of any type as long as it can display the code read out by the reading means 105.
Although various printing devices and display devices can be used, it is preferable to use a CRT display, an LC (liquid crystal) display, an EL display, etc., which can quickly confirm the read code.

(e) Effect As shown in FIG. 1, according to the present invention, the input means 10
The data manually entered from 2 is processed by the registration means 103,
The data is written into the data storage area of the data storage means lot, and the address indicating the writing position of the data is registered in the index area of the code specified by the manual means 102, and each time this registration is performed, the address is registered in the index area in which the address is registered. The code is stored in the code storage means 104.

Then, when an instruction is received from the input means 102, the reading means 105 sequentially reads codes of index areas in which no addresses are registered from the data storage means lo1 after the codes stored in the code storage means 104. and its code is displayed by the display means 106.

Therefore, you can check the next code after the most recently used registration code, so you can write down the registration code, display the document list, or avoid printing.
There is no need to manage special next codes.

(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, other keys, numeric keys, execution keys,
The keyboard is also equipped with a registration key for registering a document, a next number key for displaying the next number (to be described later), etc., and documents consisting of sentences and various image data are manually input 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 carried out in accordance with a control program written in the program memory 3 consisting of:

Reference numeral 4 denotes a kana-kanji conversion dictionary for converting a kana character string inputted from the keyboard 1 into a sentence as a character string mixed with kanji, 5 a display device consisting of a CRT display, and 6 a RAM as an internal memory.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a floppy disk as an external memory loaded into the floppy disk device.

The RAM 6 is set with a document buffer 6& for storing documents entered manually from the keyboard 1, a read buffer 6b for storing data read from the floppy disk 7, and a registration number storage area 6c for storing registration numbers. There is.

Further, the floppy disk 7 is provided with a number registration index area 7a and a document storage area 7b.

The document storage area 7b stores the document buffer 6a at the time of document registration.
The number registration index area 7a is an area where documents stored in the document storage area 7b are written, such as the address and file size of the document written in the document storage area 7b.
This area stores an index for number registration.

Number registration index area 7& is pre-set from 0 to
Management data such as the address and file size are stored in each area assigned a registration number up to No. 499.

The control unit 2 stores the document input from the keyboard l in the RAM.
6 is stored in the document buffer 6a. Also, keyboard 1
When the registration key is pressed, an input screen pattern for inputting the registration number is read from the program memory 3 and displayed on the screen of the display device 8. When the registration number is specified by the user and the execution key is pressed, the document stored in the document buffer 6a is written into an empty area of the document storage area 7b of the floppy disk 7. Next, the management data such as the address and file size in the document storage area 7b of the document is stored in the registration number index area of the registration number index area 7a specified from the keyboard 1, and the registration number is stored in the RAM.
8 are stored in the registration number storage area 6C of 6.

Also, when the next number key on the keyboard l is pressed, the control unit 2 reads the contents stored in the number registration index area 7a of the floppy disk 7 into the read buffer 6a of the RAM 6, and reads the contents of the number registration index. From within the registration number storage area 6c, the registration number of the area in which no management data such as address or file size is stored, that is, the address is not registered. The vacant numbers are searched in descending order, and the first vacant number searched is displayed on the screen of the display device 5 as the next number.

This search first searches the registration number index of the number (n+1), which is the value n of the registration number storage area 6C and adds "l", and then searches for "499", which is the maximum number that can be used for that registration number. Check that it has not been exceeded, and then
It is checked whether a document has already been registered using that registration number, and the registration number that satisfies both conditions is set as the next number.

At this time, a document file list of all vacant numbers in the next order including the next number may be displayed.

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

First, the earliest document registration is performed in which the document is registered with registration number n (step 31), and the registration number n is R.
It is stored in the registration number storage area 6c of A M 6 (step 32).

At this time, it is determined whether the document creation is finished (step 33), and if it is finished, the document creation is finished.

Further, if a document related in content to the document registered with registration number n is to be created, various document inputs and edits are performed by input or instructions from keyboard l (step 34), and It is determined whether the registration key l has been pressed (step 35).

When the registration key on the keyboard 1 is pressed down, an input screen pattern for inputting the registration number is displayed on the screen of the display device 5 (step 36), and the key input is performed (step 37). If it is the next number key (step 38), the number registration index stored in the number registration index area 7a of the floppy disk 7 is read into the read buffer 6b of the RAM 6.

Next, "bi" is added to the registration number n stored in the registration number storage area 6C of the RAM 6 (step 39), and it is determined whether the added number (n+1) is less than or equal to "499". (Step 40).

At this time, if the number is "500" or more, error processing is performed such as displaying a message such as "Registration number exceeds 499" on the screen of the display device 5 (step 41). If the number is "499" or less, the number registration index read into the read buffer 6b is searched (step 42), and the registration number (n+
It is determined whether management data such as an address or file size is stored in the area 1), that is, whether a document has been registered with the registration number (n+1) (step 43).

In this judgment, if the document has already been registered with the registration number (n+1), the processes from step 39 to step 42 are executed again, and the document is registered with the registration number (n+1).
"1" is further added to.

Further, if the document has not been registered with the registration number (n+1), the registration number (n+t) is displayed as the next number (step 44), and the process returns to step 37.

Next, in step 37, this next number is confirmed by the user, and if the registration number is indicated (
The registration number (n+1) is displayed within the input screen pattern displayed in step 45) and step 36 (step 46).

In this state, if the execution key is manually pressed in step 37 (step 47
), Step 3! Returning to , the document stored in the document buffer 6a is written to an empty area in the document storage area 7b of the floppy disk 7, and the management data such as the address and file size of the document in the document storage area 7b are The registration number (n+1) is stored in the next number (n+1) area (step 31), and the document is registered in the next number (n+1) area (step 31). ) is stored in the registration number storage area 6c (step 32)
.

In this way, you can confirm the registration number by displaying the number next to the most recently used registration number, eliminating the need for special management of the next number and allowing related documents to be consecutively displayed. It is possible to improve the operability when registering with a registered registration number.

(g) Effects of the Invention According to this invention, a registration code is stored for each document registration, and when an instruction is given from the input means, the next code after the stored code is displayed. Therefore, you can check the next code after the most recently used registration code, and even when storing and managing related documents using consecutive registration codes, you can note down the registration code or display a list of documents. There is no need for special management of subsequent codes such as printing or printing, and it becomes possible to easily register documents with consecutive registration codes.
