Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device, and more particularly to an improvement in symbol and mark input operations of a word processor having functions such as schedule management.

[Conventional technology]

With the recent development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, a large number of so-called small word processors have been developed that have the functions of a Japanese word processor added with various processing such as schedule management, address bookkeeping, and memo storage. Compact word processors are generally designed with emphasis on portability and portability, so they need to be made smaller and thinner overall. Therefore, the display screen is smaller than that of a general word processor, and there are fewer display columns and lines.

Therefore, one character's illustration mark illustrating the meaning of the action, etc., as well as abbreviations, arrows, and symbols indicating academic terms are used to represent multiple characters in one character to compensate for the small size of the display screen. In conventional word processors, symbols and marks are displayed in this manner by registering the symbols and marks in the free space of the JIS Kuten code and calling up the Kuten code. In this case, it is necessary to enter the Kuten code each time a symbol or mark is displayed, but if you cannot remember the Kuten code, you will need to refer to the Kuten code table each time, which makes these operations very difficult. This method is cumbersome and has many problems in terms of operability as an input means for document processing devices such as small word processors where operability is an important factor.

To solve this problem, there is a system in which symbols or marks are divided into groups according to certain fields or attributes, and symbols or marks are selected by inputting the pronunciation of the group.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

When divided into groups in this way, one group may have several dozen candidates.

In this case, in order to select one mark or symbol from among the candidates, it is necessary to call up the group and perform multiple key operations, and moreover, the same operation is required each time the mark or symbol is selected.

Also, the number of marks or symbols belonging to one group is large.
When the number of candidates increases, it takes a long time to select candidates, making the operation cumbersome.

This invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and by displaying codes such as marks and symbols and groups in a chronological selection order, it is possible to easily select a code once again and input the code. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a document processing device with improved operability.

[Means to solve the problem]

A document processing device according to the present invention stores codes including ideographic marks and categorizes the codes into a plurality of groups, and a display means for displaying some or all of the codes and/or groups. , a selection means for selecting the displayed code or group, and setting and recording the selected code and its group with priority in relation to the selection history.
The present invention is characterized in that it comprises a storage means for performing Q, and a reading means for reading out codes and/or groups to be displayed on the display means from the storage means based on the priority.

[Effect]

In this invention, the codes and their groups are prioritized in relation to the selection history and stored in the storage means. Since the codes and their groups are displayed on the display means based on the priority, the selected code is displayed based on the priority, and the operability when selecting the code once selected again is improved.

Next, the configuration of the control system of the small word processor will be explained.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control system.

Information including key contents and cursor positions input by operating various input keys provided on the input section 2 and the display section I is given to the control section 42 via the input control section 41.

The control unit 42 sends information on the cursor position to the cursor control unit 43.
is given to the cursor address detection unit 44 via
Key content information and control signals based thereon are given to the editing processing section 45, code data management section 46, kanji conversion processing section 58, and display control section 55 according to the control mode. The cursor address detection unit 44 detects a cursor address based on input cursor position information, and when the cursor address is in the content input canister IA in the memo mode, it sends a signal indicating this to the cursor control unit 43. The data is sent to the control unit 42 via the host computer. In response to this signal, control of the control section 42 shifts to normal editing processing by the editing processing section 45. Further, when the cursor address is at the mark input address, control is shifted to code data management by the code data management unit 46 in response to a signal from the cursor address detection unit 44. The code data management unit 46 manages the learning process of codes consisting of symbols such as illustration marks and academic symbols, and is used when the cursor is on the canary MA in the memo mode, and in the memo mode and other modes. When a mark or symbol input is selected using the soft keys St, S2, . . . , a list of marks or symbols is displayed, learned, etc. The code data management unit 46 includes a data ROM 47 that stores correspondence tables between codes and group names of various symbols and marks, and a correspondence table between group names and sequential numbers, and a FIFO memory that stores marks when they are selected. Mark learning area 51, FIF that remembers when a symbol is selected

The kanji conversion processing unit 58 also includes a dictionary 59 in which phrases are registered,
An input cover that buffers a predetermined amount of characters to be converted.

The CPU 53 controls the converter sofa 54 which buffers the converted phrase candidates to a predetermined capacity, and performs the kanji conversion process.

Further, the display control section 55 displays characters, symbols, or marks on the liquid crystal display 10 based on the control signal from the control section 42 .

On the other hand, the characters, symbols, or marks selected by the cursor control section 43, editing processing section 45, code data management section 46, and kanji conversion processing section 58 are written into the text 57 via the text processing section 56.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the correspondence between marks and their group names, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the correspondence between symbols and their group names.

As mentioned above, the data ROM 47 stores marks, symbols, and 2-byte (16 bits = 1 word) codes for each group and the group name associated with that group, as well as the correspondence between serial numbers and group names. The information is stored as shown in FIG. 4.5. In other words, in the case of a mark, serial number 1
, 2 and the corresponding group names "Business", "Private"... and the group names "Private", "Transportation"... and all the marks and group names belonging to them. A correspondence table for each group name and byte code is stored in the data ROM 47. Here, the most significant bit (MSB) of the 16-pin code for marks and symbols is "1", and for the group name it is "0", thereby identifying the group name and the mark or symbol. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the data in each group name consists of a mark or symbol and a group name related to the group, thereby reducing the number of data in one group name.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the configuration of the mark learning area 51,
The mark learning area 51 includes a 9-word mark code section 511 that stores codes for nine marks, and a 1-word group code section 5 that stores one group name code.
It consists of 12. In the mark code section 511, the most recently selected mark is stored in the top area in FIG. 6, and the mark stored in the bottom area is discarded. The marks stored in the middle are sequentially shifted downward. Furthermore, the group code section 512 stores the group name of the most recently selected mark. A total of ten codes, including nine marks and one group name, are stored in the mark learning area 51. Initially, the top five marks are displayed in areas SAI, SA2, . . . , and by operating the function key 14, the next four marks and one group name are displayed. The symbol learning area 52 has a similar structure to the mark learning area 51, and consists of a symbol code section 521 that stores nine symbol codes and a group name code section 522 that stores one group name code. There is.

Next, the operation of the compact word processor of the present invention constructed as described above will be explained using the memo mode as an example. Figure 7 is a flowchart of memo mode processing, Figure 8 is a mark
(Symbol) It is a flowchart of input processing. In the memo process, the cursor position is first detected by the cursor address detection section 44 (I1).

Next, it is determined whether or not the cursor position is at the marked Canilia MA (I2), and if it is the marked Canilia MA, mark input processing is performed (I3). In other cases, each function process (115) including kana-kanji conversion process (I4), mark input process, symbol input process, - character insertion, deletion process, etc. is performed according to the input key, and the process returns to step 1.

In mark (or symbol) input processing, mark (or symbol)
From the mark (or symbol) code section 511 (or 521) of the learning area 51 (or 52), the top 5 marks (or symbols) stored therein in the order of the most recently stored (selected order) The data processing unit 49 reads out the marks, and the list processing unit 48 stores them in areas SAI and SA.
2... (+110). Next, a keystroke is performed to select the displayed mark or display the next candidate (Ill). Key manual operation by function key 14 (112
) is performed when there is no candidate data to select for the displayed mark (or symbol) or group name. +113) If the first five marks are displayed, the next four marks (or symbols) and the group name of the most recently selected and stored mark (or symbol) are displayed in the area SAI. I1 should be displayed on SA2...
4) Return to step 11. In addition, if the first five marks (or symbols) are not displayed, that is, if they are displayed for the second time or later, it is determined whether there is next candidate data (11
15) If there is next candidate data, the data processing unit 49 reads five group names from the data ROM 47,
The list processing unit 48 selects the area SA1. SA2...
(116), and return to step 11. If there is no next candidate data, the process returns to step 10.

Note that the operation of displaying the next candidate using the function key 14 is also possible by operating the kanji conversion key 25.

In addition, key input (+118) by the non-conversion key 24 is performed when displaying the previous candidate data when the mark (or symbol) or group name to be selected is in the candidate data displayed immediately before due to an erroneous operation of the function key 14. . In this case, this operation displays candidate data for the previous five marks (or symbols) or group names (1119), and the process returns to step 11.

In addition, key manual power (+1
20) is a mark (
or symbol) to select it if it exists. It is determined whether the first selected name is a group name (121). This is determined by whether the MSB of the code of the selected mark (or symbol) or group name is "0". That is, when the MSB is "O", it is a group name; otherwise, it is a mark (or symbol).

If it is determined to be a mark (or symbol), the selection ends. and the selected mark (or symbol)
It is determined whether or not the mark (or symbol) is already stored in the learning area 51 (or 52), that is, whether the same code exists (#22), and if it exists, the mark (or symbol) code The codes that were stored above the order in which the code was contained in section 511 (or 521) are moved down one by one and stored, and the code of the selected mark (or symbol) is registered at the top. Do (#24)
. If the mark (or symbol) code section 511 (or 521) does not exist, the codes stored 1st to 8th in the mark (or symbol) code section 511 (or 521) are moved to the 2nd to 9th codes in order, and the mark (or symbol) selected at the beginning is moved to the 2nd to 9th codes.
or symbol) is registered (1123). Then, the group name of the selected mark (or symbol) is registered in the group name code section 512 (or 522) (125).

Then write the selected code into text (126)
, the mark (or symbol) input process ends.

If it is determined in step 21 that it is a group name, the data processing unit 49 reads data corresponding to the serial number of the group name from the correspondence table between group names and marks or symbols in the data ROM 47 (+127). Then, the list processing unit 48 displays the first five items in the areas SAI, SA2, etc. (1128), and performs key manual operations for them (1128).
1129).

This key force is similar to the key force in step 11,
In the case of input using the function key 14 (130), the next candidate data is displayed. That is, in step 31, the presence or absence of the next data is determined, and if there is, the next five data should be displayed (1132),
Return to step 24, and if there is none, return to step 28.

Further, in the case of input using the non-conversion key 24 (+134), the previous candidate data is displayed and the process returns to step 29 (#35). In addition, when soft keys SL, S2... are manually operated (#3
6), it is determined whether a group name has been selected (1137), and if it is a group name, step 2 is performed.
Return to 9, if not, i.e. mark (or symbol)
If is selected, the process moves to step 22. Furthermore, in step 11, in case of other key human power (117), it is added to the stage jib 11, and in step 29, other key human power (13) is applied.
In the case of 8), the process returns to step 29 respectively.

By performing such control, learning is performed such that once selected marks are displayed as candidate data to be selected in the order of selection from the beginning, so the mark (or symbol) input operation is simplified and operability is improved.

Furthermore, since the group name data is a mixture of marks (or symbols) and group names, the number of data for group names is reduced, and the number of selection operations is reduced.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing changes in the screen of the liquid crystal display 10 during the memo mode processing described above, and the screen when the power is turned on using the 0N10FF key 18, the new memo mode processing is selected, and the schedule is selected. Figure 9 (a
), the date and day of the week when the 4 indicating a schedule is entered next in half-width characters are automatically displayed in the first digit of the first line. The cursor is then displayed in the second column of the second line. Since this is a content input canister ■^, the content of the memo is input (FIG. 9(b)). Here, for example, "A and 3 others will play tennis at the sports park" is input. When inputting the contents of the memo is completed through various processes such as kanji conversion processing, the cursor is moved to the mark entry MA by operating the cursor keys 30.

As a result, the control mode shifts to mark input processing (FIG. 9(C)). Then, in order to enter the "tennis" mark in the first column of the second row, select area SA1. Visually check the display of SA2... The top five marks in the mark code section 511 are displayed here, but since the "tennis" mark is not displayed, the function key 14 is operated to select the next candidate. As a result, the marks ``Golf'', ``Beer'', ``Tennis'', and ``Coffee'' as well as the group name ``Sports'' are displayed, and from now on, the ``Tennis'' mark is selected by operating the soft key S3 (see Fig. 9). d)).

When a mark is selected, the selected mark "Tennis" is stored in the mark code section 511 of the mark learning area 51, and its group name "Sports" is stored in the group name code section 512. Then, during the next mark input process, as shown in Figure 9 (el), the "Tennis" mark is displayed at the beginning, and the marks that were previously displayed before "Tennis" are sequentially moved up to the position where Tennis was displayed. displayed as they move.

Figure 10 shows areas SAI, SA2, etc. during symbol input processing.
・Symbols are also trained in the same way as marks, and are displayed in the order of selection.

In this embodiment, the capacity of the mark (or symbol) code part of the mark (or symbol) learning area was 9 words, and the group name code part was 1 word, but the present invention is not limited to this. may be determined as appropriate in consideration of cost and the like.

Further, in this embodiment, a FIFO memory is used in the learning area to store codes and group names in the order of selection, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the storage order may be determined based on the frequency of selection.

〔effect〕

As explained above, in this invention, when selecting marks or symbols categorized into groups and group names, a learning process is performed to display them in chronological selection order, so once the marks or symbols that have been selected The same effect can be obtained in that the selection of the group name and the group name are facilitated, and the operability of inputting marks or symbols is improved.
