Abstract

PURPOSE:To extremely efficiently execute modification designation without fail by adding modifying information, which are added to designated character data, to the character data in a designating range when the character data, to which the modifying information are already added, are designated and the range, in which the modifying information are added, is designated. CONSTITUTION:When the same modifying information are added to another character code after the modification designation for one character is executed at least, the character data, to which the modifying information are already added, are designated by a first designating means 2 and the range, in which the modifying information are added, is designated by a second designating means 3. A modifying information adding means 4 adds the modifying information, which are added to the character data to be designated by the first designating means 2, to the character data in the range which is designated by the second designating means 3. Namely, the modifying information adding means 4 copies the modifying information, which are added to the designated character data, to the character data in the designated range as they are. Thus, only by executing the modification designation for one character at least, the same modifying information can be easily added to the other arbitrary character data as well.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to document processing devices such as word processors and personal computers.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention provides a document processing device that adds prespecified modification information to input character data, which specifies character data to which modification information has already been added, and adds the modification information. When a range is specified, the modification information added to the specified character data is added to the character data within the specified range.

[Prior Art J] Conventionally, in word processors, when you want to emphasize a title, heading, or part of a document or make it stand out, you add a mesh pattern to the back of the characters, add an underline, or add italics. Characters are decorated with letters, outline characters, etc.

In this case, when creating a document, if the content of modification is specified while specifying the character to be modified, the specified modification information is added to the character code.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] As described above, in conventional word processors, when multiple types of modification specifications are applied to many character strings scattered in one document, the same operation is repeated for narrow openings. Therefore, the operation becomes extremely complicated and there is also a risk of making a specification error.

The problem of this invention is that when applying the same modification to many character strings scattered throughout a document, it is possible to easily apply similar modification information to other arbitrary character data by simply specifying the modification for at least one character. The purpose is to be able to add to the

[Means to solve the problem J The means of this invention are as follows.

The document storage means l (see the functional block diagram in FIG. 1, the same applies hereinafter) is a document memory etc. that stores input and created document data, and stores pre-specified characters among each character data constituting this document data. Modification information is added to the data. For example, the document storage means 1 consists of 2 bytes per character,
Predetermined bit (empty bit) corresponding to the specified character
Qualification information is added to . Note that the modification information refers to all information for modifying one character, such as information specifying shading, underlining, italic text, white text, bold text, etc.

The first specifying means 2 is a cursor key or the like for specifying arbitrary character data among the character data to which modification information has already been added.

The second specifying means 3 is a cursor key or the like for specifying a range in which modification information is to be added to character data. For example, the range is specified by setting a cursor at the first and last character positions within the range.

The modification information addition means 4 adds the modification information added to the character data designated by the first designation means 2 to the character data within the range designated by the second designation means 3, and stores it in the document storage means l. Make me remember.

[Work] The operation of the means of this invention is as follows.

The character data entered when creating the document.

The documents are sequentially stored in the document storage means l. If the same modification is to be applied to a large number of character strings scattered in two documents, first an arbitrary character is specified in accordance with the usual method, and the contents of the modification to be applied to that character are specified. Then, the specified modification information is added to the character data.

After specifying at least one character as a modification in this way, when adding the same modification information to another character code, the character data to which modification information has already been added as described above can be added to the first specification means. At the same time, the second specifying means 3 specifies the range to which the modification information is to be added.

Then, the modification information addition means 4 adds the modification information added to the character data designated by the designation means 2 of gSl to the character data within the range designated by the second designation means 3. That is, the modification information adding means 4 copies the modification information added to the designated character data as is to the character data within the designated range.

Therefore, similar modification information can be easily added to any other character data simply by specifying modification for at least one character.

[Example] Hereinafter, one embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

FIG. 2 is a block circuit diagram showing the basic configuration of a Japanese word processor.

The CPU II controls various operations of this word processor according to system programs etc. stored in the ROM 12 in advance. That is, the CPU 11 is the key human power section 13.
The document data inputted from the CPU 10 is taken in via the key control unit 14 and provided to the video RAM 2S, and is also converted into kana-kanji if necessary and stored in the document memory 16. Note that the document data in the video I'iAM 15 is sent to the display control section 17 and displayed on the text screen of the first display section 18.

The document memory 16 has, for example, a 2-byte configuration for each character, and decoration information is stored in the upper few bits of a character specified for decoration. In this case, in this embodiment, a plurality of pieces of modification information (for example, up to three types of decoration information) can be added to one character.

Here, the CPU II sets the modification information specified and input from the key human power section 13 in the modification information storage memory 19, and sets the modification information set in the modification information storage memory 19 in the character code input from the key human power section 13. It is added and stored in the document memory 16. Furthermore, when any character code among the character codes in the document memory 16 to which modification information is added is specified from the key manual section 13, the CPU II extracts the modification information added to the specified character code from the document memory 16. It is read out and set in the modification information storage memory 19. In this case, the CPU II is the modification information storage memory 19.
Modification information similar to the modification information set in is added (copied) to each character code within a prespecified range and stored in the document memory 16.

In addition to various keys normally provided in the human power section 13, such as a character key AK, an execution key BK, a right cursor key CK, and a left cursor key DK, there is also a modified copy key E.
K is provided.

In addition, the CPU II reads the document data in the document memory 16 in response to a transfer command from the key human power section 13, provides it to the external storage control section 20, saves it to the floppy disk drive M21, or prints it from the key human power section 13. In response to the command, the document data in the document memory 16 is read out, sent to the printer control unit 22, and printed out from the printer 23. In this case, modification information is added to the character code read out from the one-document memory 16. If so, modify that character and print it out.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation when creating a document.

Now, when a character is inputted from the key input section 13, this is detected in step Sl and the process proceeds to step S2, where the modification information set in the modification information storage memory 19 is added to the input character code and the modification information is added to the document memory 16. to be memorized. In this case, qualified information storage memory! If no modification information is set in 9, only the input character code is stored in the document memory 16. Then, to return to step S1,
Each time a character code is input, the modification information storage memory 19
The modification information set in is added to each successively input character code. The setting and cancellation of modification information in the modification information storage memory 19 is performed by the key human power section 1.
This is done by operating a specific key (not shown) provided at 3. In this case, the setting or cancellation of the modification information is executed in other processing in step S4.

Now, assume that the character string ``word processor employing a monochrome liquid crystal panel'' is input as shown in No. 411 (A). Here, in Figure 4 (A), each character code of "monochrome liquid crystal" is "
A display example is shown in which modification information such as ``italicized characters,'' ``white characters,'' and ``underline'' is added. In this case, the cursor is set at the next digit position of the last input character, as shown in FIG. 4(A).

In this state, each character code for "word processor" also has "italic characters", "white characters", and "underline".
The following qualification information shall be added. In this case, the modification information that has already been added to each character code on the "Black and White LCD" is copied as is to each character code on the "Word Processor". Operate sequentially.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, first, the modified copy key EK provided in the key operator section 13 is operated. Then, this is detected in step S3 and the process proceeds to step S5.
Check whether the cursor keys (right cursor key CK or left cursor key DK) are operated. The cursor that is currently set at the next digit position of the last input character (Figure 4 (A)
In order to specify any one of the characters in "monochrome liquid crystal" (see ), operate the left cursor key DK. Then, this is detected in step S5, and step S5 is performed.
Proceeding to step 6, the cursor position is updated every time the left cursor key DK is operated. This will move the cursor to the fourth
As shown in Figure (B), it is assumed that it is set at the "crystal" position. After setting the cursor at the desired position in this way, execute key BK is operated. Then step S
7, this is detected and the process proceeds to step S8, where the modification information added to the character code corresponding to the cursor position is read out from the document memory 16 and stored in the modification information storage memory 1.
Set to 9.

After reading the desired modification information from the document memory 16 and setting it in the modification information storage memory 19 in this way, the modification information to which the modification information is to be added is designated as the primary (step C9), and the execution key BK is pressed. Wait until (
Step 5lO), in this case, in the same way as specifying a normal print range, by setting the cursor at the start and end points of the range and operating the execution hand-BK, the specified correction area will be , and is displayed in reverse video as shown in FIG. 4 (CC).

Then, the process proceeds to step Sll, in which character codes within the specified range are sequentially read out from the document memory 16, and the modification information set in the modification information storage memory 19 is added to the character codes sequentially read out from the document memory 16.
It is stored in the document memory 16. As a result, each character hood in "Word Processor" has "italicized characters" and "outlined characters".
Because each “underline” modifier information is added, the fourth
As shown in Figure (D), each character of "r word processor" is decorated in the same manner as the characters of "black and white liquid crystal".

After copying the modification information to each character within the specified range in this way, the modification information storage memory 19 is cleared (step 512), the cursor position is moved to the next digit of the last input character (step 513), and the final The modification information of the input characters is read from the document memory 16 and set in the correction information storage memory 19 (step 514), and then.

In order to return to step 51, the modification information set in the modification information storage memory 19 is also added to the first input character, but in this case, if the modification information is canceled as described above, the modification information is not added.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments; for example, after inputting all documents at once, by specifying multiple modification ranges, modification information added to specified characters can be added to all specified modifications. It may also be copied to the S range.
