Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the registration capacity of a disk essentially by registering difference between edited and prepared document data and application document data. CONSTITUTION:A terminal 2 controlled with a controller 4 refers to the application document file 7 in a fixed disk device 1, and edits a document by using an application document, and supplies it to a printer 3 that is an output device. When editing is completed, the terminal 2 registers the difference 5 between an edited document and a used application document and application document information 6 on the application document file 7 making preparations for re- editing, and no application document is registered on the file 7. Therefore, the capacity of the registration document can be reduced, which increases the registration capacity of the disk essentially.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document creation system that operates on a personal computer.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the operation of a conventional document creation system. In the figure, (1) is a fixed disk device, (2)
) is a terminal (work area), 13) is an output device (printer), (4) is a control device, (7) is a diverted document file, (8) is a document file (including diverted document data),
(2) is a document write command, (z is a document read command.

Next, the operation will be explained.

When creating a new document, go to the C2) terminal (work area) and perform the steps in a. In editing work,
Fixed form documents and basic documents are registered as diversion document files in (7) in the fixed disk device (l; Load the diverted document file in (2) into the terminal (work area) and edit using the diverted document.After editing, output to the output device R (printer) in (3).Then, 9 The document created after editing is created as a document file (8) using the aυ document write command.

+13 fixed disk drive.

When creating a document by re-editing, the document file (8) is read and edited using the document read command (a).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Since conventional document creation systems are configured in one or more ways, a document created by reusing a certain document must be saved as a single file.

There are problems in that it is necessary to store document data that has been diverted regardless of how much or how little it has been edited, and the disk capacity increases as the number of times it is diverted increases.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems. It is not necessary to have two duplicate document data in one file, which reduces the amount of document data in one file, and saves disk space. The aim is to reduce the amount of

[Means to solve the problem]

In the document creation system according to the present invention, when a document is edited and saved to a disk, it is compared with the diverted document and the difference data and the file information of the diverted document are combined into one file, and when it is recalled from the disk. , the document to be reused is called up using the file information as a key.

[Effect]

In the document creation system of the present invention, by having data information of differences from the diverted document, the data of one document file is small and the disk capacity is also small.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Figure 1, (11 is a fixed disk device, (2) is a terminal including a display and keyboard for creating documents, (3) is an output device for outputting to a printer, (4)
) is a control device that controls each device and data, (
5) is the diverted sentence: document data that does not include f, (6) is the file information of the diverted document, (7) is the diverted document file, (9
) is a document write command for a file that has document data and diverted document information, and al is a document read command for a file that has document data and diverted document information.

Next, the operation will be explained.

When creating a new text, perform the editing work from the terminal (work area) in (2). In editing work, standard documents and basic documents are stored as reused document files in (7) of the fixed disk drive in (1).

Register it. If there is a document that can be used, the user must
The diverted document file in the fixed disk device of (2)
Load it into your terminal (work area).

Edit using the diverted document. After editing, output to the output device (printer) in (3). When the editing work is completed, one document file is created by creating document data (5) that does not include the diverted document and file information of the diverted document (6).
The file is registered in the fixed disk device (1) by the document write command (9).

When creating a document by re-editing, the document file in which (5) and (6) are combined is called by the document read command of aI, and the file information of the diverted document in (6) is used to save the document to the disk (7). The user reads the diverted document file, combines the file with the document data in (5), and performs editing work.

Further, in the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the operation is performed on a personal computer, but it may also be operated on a workstation or other computer and the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the difference data between the diverted document data and the created document is registered on the disk, which reduces the amount of document data to be registered and reduces the disk capacity. This has the effect of allowing more data to be registered in one document compared to the previous method.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of the present invention. A block diagram of a document creation system that creates an edited portion of a document that utilizes a document file to be saved. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a conventional document creation system. In the figures, the same reference numerals indicate the same or equivalent parts.

Claims (1)

[Claims] When creating a document on a personal computer, when saving a fixed form document or document data created by reusing a basic document, it is possible to save the data and information of only the edited part of the reused document to a disk. A document creation system characterized by having
