The present invention relates to a document processing device capable of learning instruction operations for document processing.

(Prior Art) In a conventional document processing device, operation instructions related to document processing and character and image information for document processing are inputted from an input device. As an input device, a keyboard with a large number of keys arranged thereon, or a pointing device that moves an arrow-shaped cursor displayed on a display device to give operation instructions is used.

As the functions performed by document processing devices become more diverse and complex, the types of operations performed by users on the above-mentioned information input devices have also become more complex. Therefore, in order to meet the demand for making it easier for users to learn operations, document processing apparatuses that are capable of learning operations have been proposed.

Conventional document processing devices of this type automatically display messages for cursor movement and pointing device operations on a display according to an internally stored learning application program (execution control procedure). In addition, it has become possible for the operator to learn how to operate the device by experimentally receiving input from the operator without looking at such a display.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in conventional document processing devices of this kind, the above-mentioned learning process is performed by starting an application program, but this application program is about the same length as the document processing program, and the above-mentioned program is stored in the application program. The amount of memory required to do so becomes large. For this reason, there is a problem to be solved in that a small portable document processing device cannot be provided with a learning function.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a document processing device that can realize a learning function even in a document processing device with a small memory capacity.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the content of learning data related to the present invention stored in the internal memory 21b.

In this embodiment, three types of data are prepared: demonstration data, message display data, and user input data (format data). The demonstration data is data input by an operator in normal character processing. The demonstration data configured in the format shown in Figure 4 can be used to automatically draw circles, display document information to introduce the functions of a document processing device, or to introduce the process of document processing. used.

The message display data is data for displaying key input operations and operation guidance messages when executing instruction input operations for document processing, and has a format shown in FIG. 5. The user input data is data for checking whether the document processing instruction data input by the operator is in the correct format, and has the format shown in FIG.

Such learning data is stored in advance in the internal memory 21b according to the learning procedure.

The circuit operation of this embodiment in such a configuration will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 shows a control procedure executed by the MPU 21a shown in the second diagram.

In this example, a case will be explained in which the operator is made to learn key operations for inputting characters.

For this purpose, it is assumed that first demonstration data 50, first message data 51, and user input data format 52 are stored in advance as learning data in the internal memory 21b.

Here, the first demonstration data is character information “
This is the data for displaying ``Lifestyle'' on the display screen of the CRT display device lO.The data for the first message is the message ``Press the alphabet keys ``A'', ``■'', ``D''.
” Try typing “E” and “A.” This is the data to display as °. The format of user input data is "A" or "I" if the data is input by the operator.
This is formatted data for checking that "D""E" r A J, that the input position is at a predetermined position, etc.

In FIG. 7, when the operator specifies the learning mode using the keyboard 4, the MPU 21a identifies this transmission instruction information from the keyboard 4 (step 51→S2). Next, the MPIJ 21a reads the first demonstration data (see FIG. 3) as the first learning data from the learning data area of the internal memory 21b (steps S2→5).
ll). Next, the MPU 21a regards this demonstration data as input data for normal document processing, executes the document processing program, and displays the data on the CR7 display device 10.
Text information "Life" 71 (see FIG. 8) is displayed on the display screen (step S14). Next, internal memory 21
When the first message data stored in b is read out, the first message data is read in the order of steps S11 → 512 → 513 → 514, that is, the message ``Press the alphabet keys ``A''``I'' `` D” “E”r
Try typing AJ. ”72 is displayed.

Next, the MPIJ 21a updates the read address of the internal memory 21b and reads the next learning data (user input data).
(Step 515→S41-5ll). Step 512 → S13 → 531 determines that the next data read from the internal memory 21b is user input data.
If detected in this order, the key arrangement diagram 73 of the input device specified in the previous message, keyboard 2 in this example, is displayed on the display screen of the CRT display device IO as shown in FIG. 8 (step 533). ).

At this time, the operator is informed of the position of the key to be pressed by displaying the image of the key to be pressed in reverse video.

Next, input information from the operator's keyboard 2, that is, characters "A", "I", "D", "E", and "A" are accepted.Next, based on the user input data read in step Sll, the keyboard 2, it is confirmed that the input information is in the correct format (step 535).If a format error, for example, an incorrect input of characters, is detected in the judgment process of step S35, a message is displayed to inform that the input is an error. Returning to step 534, the learner is instructed to perform a new input operation.When it is confirmed that the input information is in the correct format, the MPt121a
executes the character input process, and the character information "A"'°, 'D', "E", "°" is displayed on the display screen of the CRT display device lO.
A' is displayed (step 536).

As a result, the operator presses the character key to input character information into the document processing device, and the CRT display device lO
You can learn what is displayed on the screen.

As explained above, in this embodiment, only the learning data is stored in the internal memory 21b, and a well-known document processing program is used for demonstration processing and document processing inputted by the operator. Compared to conventional programs for learning processing, the program capacity is significantly smaller, and the memory capacity for storing the learning program is also smaller.

In this embodiment, an example of learning key operations for inputting characters has been described, but it is also possible to perform learning of creating figures using the pointing device 3. In this case, an operation guidance message 82. as shown in FIG.
83 is stored in the internal memory 21b as message data. Further, in this embodiment, an example was shown in which the learning data is stored in the internal memory 21b in advance, but the learning data is input from the keyboard 2 using a non-volatile rewritable memory in the internal memory 21b. However, desired learning data may be written into the internal memory 21b.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. This embodiment is an example in which the frequency of types of document processing instructions is counted when normal document processing is executed, and document processing functions that are used less frequently are excluded from learning targets.

In FIG. 7, when conventional document processing is executed in step s3 in the normal mode, the control procedure in FIG. 10 is executed. That is, each time an operator instructs document processing from the keyboard 2, the contents of the instruction are identified and the contents of the instruction are counted. Also, regardless of the type of instruction, the total number of instructions for document processing is counted (steps 5100-5101).
). When the total number of instructions reaches the specified number of times, the selection process of the learning process is performed next. That is, the number of instructions for each type is compared with a predetermined number of times, and for instructions whose number of instructions does not reach the specified number of times, the flag information of the learning data is rewritten to bit "0". When the flag information is bit "1", the learning procedure shown in FIG. 1 is executed, and when the flag information is bit "0", the learning procedure is not executed. As a result, frequently used document processing learning data is automatically selected in the internal memory 21b from among the learning data of all the document processing devices included in the apparatus. Therefore, when the operator performs learning, there is no need for unnecessary learning, and the learning time is also shortened.

Note that a mode for all learning and a mode for selective learning may be provided, and when the all learning mode is instructed, learning may be performed using the above learning data regardless of the flag information, and the operation This makes it possible to conduct learning tailored to the needs of individuals.

Below, the number of instructions for each type and the total number of instructions are initialized to "0".
” to prepare for the next detection of the usage frequency of the instruction (step 5105).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, in the learning mode, the document processing inputted by the operator for the purpose of learning is executed by the character processing means for the purpose of character processing. The memory capacity of the conventional device can be reduced by the amount of the control program.

Further, by storing instruction information for document processing in the storage means as learning data, it becomes possible to demonstrate document processing and improve learning efficiency.

Furthermore, since the format information is stored in the storage means as learning data, it is possible to check the learning input information, and the operator can memorize correct input operations.

In addition, frequently used document processes can be automatically selected for learning, which not only improves learning efficiency and shortens learning time for learners, but also eliminates input instruction operations related to selecting learning processing items. The effect of simplification can also be obtained.
