Abstract

PURPOSE:To register an expression to which no reading is inputted similar to expressions to which readings are inputted when the expression is registered by executing the registering process by operating a selection/execution key without inputting reading in the stage of inputting readings after the extent of words and phrases to be registered is designated. CONSTITUTION:A microprocessor (CPU)10 makes access to a RAM 11 and ROM 12 and executes a document preparing process, document editing process, printing process, etc., when a program is actuated in accordance with inputted designation. When the registration of an expression is instructed at the time of registering words and phrases, the CPU 10 registers the expression in a registration buffer 32 irrespective of the presence/absence of an inputted reading and, when expression calling operation is made, discriminates the presence/ absence of the inputted reading. When the inputted reading exists, the CPU 10 reads out the words and phrases corresponding to the inputted reading from the registration buffer and, when no reading is inputted, displays the expression having no inputted reading after reading out words and phrases from the buffer. Therefore, expressions are registered even when their readings are not inputted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a document creation device having a word registration/recall function.

(Prior art) In a conventional document creation device (word processor),
Some devices have the function of registering new words as well as registering phrases. When registering a phrase using this function, in the phrase registration mode, after specifying the phrase (character string) to be registered, input the pronunciation for the phrase. This allows the reading and 8
7i phrases and the like, and are stored in the registration buffer. When the registered word/phrase is to be recalled, by specifying the pronunciation for the registered word/phrase, the registered word/phrase corresponding to the pronunciation is recalled from the registration notebook and displayed at the designated position. Also, when deleting a registered word or phrase, input the pronunciation in the same way as when calling the word. That is, in conventional document creation devices, when registering a word or phrase, the pronunciation must be input, and therefore, when the registered word or phrase is called up, the pronunciation must also be input.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in the conventional document creation device, when registering a word or phrase, the pronunciation must be inputted, and the operation is extremely troublesome. Furthermore, when recalling a word, it is necessary to read the pronunciation, and if the pronunciation is forgotten, there is a problem in that the word registration cannot be recalled or deleted.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device that can register a word without inputting its pronunciation and that can recall the registered word without having to input the pronunciation. With the goal.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means and Effects for Solving the Problems) That is, the document creation device according to the present invention, when registration is instructed in word registration, registers the registration buffer regardless of whether there is a reading input or not. When a word is registered and a word recall operation is performed, it is determined whether there is a reading input or not, and if there is a reading input, the word corresponding to the reading is read from the registration buffer, and if there is no reading input, the word with no reading or reading is read. It is configured so that one row is output from the registration buffer and displayed.

Sub-17, when registering a word, enter the pronunciation in 7 and do not enter 7-
(- is also possible to climb 11, and reading is not necessarily required when reading.

Furthermore, the present invention identifies whether or not there is a reading input when calling the word registration, and if there is a reading input, the word corresponding to the reading is read from the registration buffer, and if there is no reading input, the word registered in the registration buffer is displayed on the screen. The list is displayed in a list, and recall/deletion is possible using this list display.

By displaying a list of words registered in the registration buffer on the screen as described above, a desired word can be selected quickly and reliably even when a plurality of words without pronunciations are registered.

(Example) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The printer 23 has a printer interface (PRT-
Under the control of the CPUIO via the IF) 24, a document created and held in the document buffer area 31 in the RAM II or document information read into the document buffer area 31 from the floppy disk device 21 is printed.

Next, the display control operation in the above embodiment will be explained.

When creating a document, first use the keyboard (KB) 1.
Specify the formatting mode from 6. This will cause the CPUI
Initial setting data is read out from the formatting area in RAM II by the display controller 19 under the control of the RAM II and displayed on the display 18. 7. Then, on this formatting screen, enter the number of characters per line and the number of lines per page on the keyboard (
KB) Set by data input from 1B = q
-One. The number of characters per line and the number of lines per page are initialized in advance to predetermined values, for example, the number of characters per line is "40" and the number of lines per page is "36". If there is no need to change this initial setting value, there is no need to perform formatting. After formatting is completed, formatting is completed by operating the "Jj!.Select/Execute key", and the set format data or RA
Written to the formatting area within the MII. When the above formatting is completed, the CPUIO switches the display screen to the document creation screen. In this state, by inputting a document, a document is created according to the above-described format.

However, if you want to register a word while creating a document, move the cursor to the first digit of the word you want to register, and
In this state, specify the word registration function. This allows C.P.
Under the control of the UIO, the word registration process shown in flowchart 1 of FIG. 2 is executed. CPU1. When the word/phrase registration function is specified, O displays, for example, "Tokoto" and guides the user to specify the range of 171 phrase registration. In this state, specify the range of word registration 1- Select from a distance /
Operate Execution Gear 10- (Step All). When the above range is specified, CPU10 displays a guide to input the pronunciation of the registered word and waits (Step A).
2). The user inputs the reading of, for example, up to four characters according to the guide display and operates the selection/execution key. In this case, only the selection/execution key may be operated without inputting any reading. When the selection/execution key is operated, CPULO checks for duplicate readings (step A3).
If there are duplicates, error processing is performed to display that the pronunciations are duplicated, and if they are not duplicates, the pronunciations and registered words are associated and stored in the registration buffer 32 in RAMLI (step A4). .

On the other hand, if the reading is not input, it is stored in the registration buffer provided in the RAMLI for reading only (step A5), or, for example, the reading is registered as all spaces in the registration buffer 32 (step A4).
). When the processing in step A4 or A5 is completed, the screen returns to the document creation screen before word registration.

When calling up a phrase registered in the registration buffer 32 as described above, the word/phrase recall function is specified with the cursor positioned at the word/phrase recall position 2.

When the word/phrase recall function is designated, the CPU 10 executes the process shown in flowchart 1 in FIG. 3. CPU10
First, it guides you to input the pronunciation of the word. The user can enter the reading and select/select using this guide.
The execution key is operated, but when calling up a registered word without a pronunciation, the selection/execution key is operated without inputting the pronunciation. When the selection/execution key is operated, the CPU 10 determines whether or not a reading has been input (Step B1), and if a reading has been input, it checks whether the corresponding word exists in the registration buffer 32 (Step B2). If the word does not exist, it is treated as an error. Registration buffer 32
If a corresponding word exists, the registered word/phrase corresponding to the pronunciation is read out from the registration buffer 32 and displayed at the cursor position.

In addition, if the selection/execution key is operated without a reading being input, the registered word is read out from the registration buffer exclusively for reading without reading and displayed at the cursor position. In this case, if the reading is all spaces, the registration buffer 3 is processed by the processing in steps B2 and B3 as in a normal call.
Registered words and phrases without pronunciation can be read from 2.

In Fig. 3 above, if the select/execute key is operated without a pronunciation being input, the registered word without pronunciation is read out from the registration buffer. The contents of the registration buffer may be displayed as a list and a desired word or phrase may be selected using a cursor.

In other words, if the select/execute key is operated without a pronunciation being input, the content of the registration buffer for no pronunciation only, or the registration buffer 32 in which a mixture of words without pronunciation and words with pronunciation is registered. The contents are displayed as a list on the screen (step B5). In this case, if each registered word/phrase has a small number of characters, the word is displayed as is, but if there are many characters, a fixed number of characters from the first character of the registered word/phrase are displayed. The user specifies a desired word or phrase from the list of words using a cursor or the like (step B[i). The CPU 10 reads out the word or phrase specified by the cursor or the like from the registration buffer and displays it at the cursor specified position in the created document.

By displaying a list of registered words and phrases in this manner, a desired word can be easily selected even if words without pronunciation are registered in the registration buffer.

In addition, in flowchart 1 shown in FIG. 4 above, the contents of the registration buffer are displayed in a list when the selection/execution key is operated without a reading being input.
When the registered word/phrase recall function is specified, immediately step B5. waits for the input of the reading. The contents of the registration buffer 32, that is, the contents of the registration buffer 32, that is, both the contents without pronunciation and the contents with pronunciation, may be displayed as a list by performing the processing of BG and B7, and the contents may be selected using a cursor or the like.

When deleting a registered word, specify the deletion function for the registered word, select the word by inputting its pronunciation or displaying a list, and operate the selection/execution key in the same manner as in the case of recall. This deletes the selected word or phrase from the registration buffer, regardless of whether it has been read or not.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when recalling/deleting registered words, the contents of the registration buffer are displayed as a list and a word is selected using the cursor. , and the corresponding word or phrase may be selected based on this number.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when registering words in a document creation device, after specifying the range of words to be registered, selection/execution is performed without inputting the reading at the reading input stage. Since the registration process is executed by operating a key, words without pronunciations can be registered in the same way as words with pronunciations.

Furthermore, in this invention, when calling up a registered word, the contents of the registration buffer are displayed as a list and selected using a cursor, etc., so that even if the word has no pronunciation, it is easy to find the desired word. can be selected.
