Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain work circumstances which improve the efficiency and reduce the mental burden by moving a detected character string out of a ruled line frame and moving a character string on the outside of the ruled line frame into this frame. CONSTITUTION:A key button 1 on a keyboard is depressed to move data in the frame to the outside of the frame, and a key button 2 is depressed to move data on the outside into the frame. That is, the button 1 is depressed to move data in the frame to the outside, and data in the frame are successively moved to the outside in the same manner to obtain a continuous data string, and a new data string is generated by data addition, and the button 2 is depressed to move this data string into the frame. Thus, operations disagreeing with purposes are unnecessary, and the burden is reduced with respect to time and mentality.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is used in systems such as electronic word processors that create and edit texts using characters and ruled lines. This project relates to a document creation device that has the function of extracting character strings outside of the data as data, editing them, and then inserting the character strings into an area surrounded by ruled lines.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in systems where texts can be created and edited using characters and ruled lines, when adding to or modifying data that was created as a continuous area surrounded by several ruled lines, the area surrounded by each ruled line is Since the range surrounded by ruled lines could only be treated as an independent area, for example, by limiting the editable area by protecting the lines, or by expanding the editing area according to the amount of data increased by editing, each It was difficult to maintain continuity at the boundaries of the range surrounded by ruled lines.

Therefore, operations that are different from the original purpose are required, which imposes a large burden on the user in terms of time and mental energy.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The present invention is a system in which texts can be created and edited using characters and ruled lines. The objective is to provide a function that allows data to be freely moved between the defined range and outside of it.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a character input means for inputting characters, a ruled line input means for inputting ruled lines, a detection means for detecting a character string within a frame created by the ruled lines, and a character string detected by the detection means The present invention is characterized by comprising a character string transfer means for moving the character string outside the frame, and a character string transfer means for flowing the character string outside the ruled line frame into the ruled line frame.

[Effect]

In order to add or edit data within a frame surrounded by several ruled lines without changing its appearance, it is necessary to combine the data between each frame and treat it as continuous data. .

Therefore, by sequentially temporarily moving the data in the frame surrounded by each ruled line to the outside, it becomes possible to treat the frame-shaped data as continuous data. Furthermore, by returning the continuous data to the frame, additions and edits can be made without changing the format. Therefore, in order to add and edit data without changing the format, it is necessary to be able to freely move data between the frame and the outside.

In the present invention, in order to move data between the frame and the outside, physical data information is used and the data structure is changed according to logical rules.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a layout diagram of the keyboard used in the present invention. By pressing key button 1, data inside the frame is moved to the outside of the frame, and by pressing key button 2, data outside the frame is moved to the outside of the frame. Each movement process is started.

For example, in a document as shown in FIG. 2, if a part of the document is found to be missing and needs to be added, first press the button 1 and fill in the frame 3 shown in FIG. Move the data outside the frame as shown in FIG. Similarly, by sequentially moving the data within each of frames 7 and 8 shown in FIG. 3 to the outside 9, a continuous data string such as 13 shown in FIG. 4 can be obtained. Here, data is added to the data string 13 as shown in FIG. 5 to create a new data string 17. Furthermore, the data string 17 for which additional processing has been completed is returned to the original frame 18 by pressing the button 2, as shown in FIG.
Similarly, by sequentially pouring data 21 into frames 19 and 20, as shown in FIG.
Additional processing is completed without changing figures and formatting.

In the present invention, when the button 1 is pressed and text extraction within the frame is selected, the frame-shaped data as shown in FIG. 2 is divided into a continuous data string as shown in FIG. Automatic structural transformation allows data to be moved from within the body to outside it.

Furthermore, when the button 2 is pressed and the frame text extraction is selected in the same manner as the frame text extraction described above, the continuous data as shown in FIG. By automatically converting the internal structure into data, it becomes possible to move data from outside the frame to inside the frame.

In this embodiment, the case of adding to the text inside the frame is described as follows, but other processes that change the length of the text, such as deletion or modification, can be similarly applied between the text inside the frame and the outside of it. By moving data in , it is possible to realize this principle without being aware of changes in the length of sentences.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for realizing the present invention, in which FIG. 8(a) shows movement from inside the frame to the outside thereof;
b) is the flow of processing for moving from outside the frame to inside the frame.

In the case of movement from within the frame to the outside, the operation is started after the processing content is determined in step 25. At 26, the frame to be processed is determined from the current cursor position, and after obtaining text data information from the internal RAM, the extraction destination is determined at 27,
In step 28, the internal structure of the data is changed from frame-like to continuous,
At step 29, the data is inserted as continuous data at the position specified at step 27. On the other hand, in the case of movement from outside the frame to inside the frame, the operation is started after the processing content is determined at 30. 31
The frame to be poured is specified in 32, the frame to be processed is determined from the current cursor position, and the text data information is obtained from the internal RAM, and the internal structure of the data is changed from continuous to frame-like in 33. Then, in step 34, data is inserted into the frame specified in step 31 above.

The above operation explanation has made this function clear. Conventionally, when adding or modifying data that was created as a continuous area surrounded by several ruled lines, The range surrounded by ruled lines could only be treated as an independent area, such as by limiting the editable area by protecting the range with ruled lines, or by expanding the editing area according to the amount of data added by editing. On the other hand, in the present invention, processing such as addition and correction can be performed on the range surrounded by each ruled line as a continuous area.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention is more effective in terms of time efficiency and can provide a work environment with less mental burden, the more frequently the document requires handling of sentences spanning a plurality of frames.
