This is also carried out in the same manner as the conventional method as explained in FIG.

Therefore, detailed explanations regarding these will be omitted, and the processing steps will be described below with reference to the processing flowchart of FIG. Explain according to the following.

■ Step S.

The operator moves the cursor from the input device 13 and
The reading character input start position SP in the desired character display area 113 is specified in units of dots. Information regarding the reading character input start position SP, that is, the memory address on the bitmap memory 121, is stored in the storage device 17 by the control section 16.

■ Step S.

The operator inputs the reading input screen 153 such as the size of the reading characters to be displayed, the font, the number of lines/digits to be displayed, the character spacing/line spacing, etc.
Information regarding the image is set in units of dots using the input device 13. This reading input screen 123 is based on the character display area 113.
(See Figure 1 (A) and (B))
. This reading input screen information is stored in the storage device 17 by the control unit 16.

Step S3 When the reading input screen information is set, the control unit 16 transfers the screen data in the reading input screen 153, that is, the screen data on the bitmap display 11 corresponding to the reading character display area 113, to the bitmap memory unit 12. Evacuation area 12
Evacuate to 2.

(2) Step S4 The operator inputs the first reading character in katakana (as shown in the figure, "a") using the input device 13.

■ Step S.

The control unit 16 determines whether the reading character is input manually.

■ Step S6 When the manual input is inputting a reading character, the control unit 16 selects the input reading character ``A'' based on the reading input screen information and the reading input screen information stored in the storage device 17. Calculate the display position (address) of ".

(2) Step S7 The control section 16 instructs the character creation processing section 15 to create a character pattern corresponding to the reading character (character code for "A"). The character creation processing unit 15 creates a character pattern of the reading character “A” on the reading input screen 153 in the character buffer 150.

The character creation processing unit 15 stores the character pattern of the reading character “A” at a predetermined display position on the bitmap memory 121.
After expanding to the display position calculated in step S6, it is displayed on the bitmap display 11. As a result, the character "A" is displayed at the first reading character input position SP in the reading character display area 113, as shown in FIG. 1(A).

■ From step 84 to step S, by repeating each process from step 34 to step S7 described above, the second and subsequent reading characters "sa", "hi", etc. are displayed in the reading character display area 113 as shown in the figure. They will be displayed in order.

While inputting and displaying katakana, the operator performs necessary kana-kanji conversion and edits reading characters.

(i) Steps S4, Ss, Ss When the desired reading character display and editing processing for the reading character display area 113 is completed, there may be an empty area in the reading character display area 113 where no reading characters are displayed.

This problem is particularly likely to occur when performing kana-kanji conversion. If there is a screen portion of the original image or figure in such a free area, it is necessary to restore and redisplay it.

Therefore, if such an empty area occurs, the operator presses the - character delete key to delete the empty area character by character in order to restore the original image and figure (step s4). The control unit 16 determines whether the input is a reading character input (step Ss). If the input is not a reading character input, it is determined whether the input was made manually using the single character deletion key (step Ss).

[Phase] Step S9 When the human power is the one character deletion key, the integrator 16 is
The position of the reading character to be deleted, that is, the position of the screen to be restored (-size of character bone) is calculated.

■ Step 5111% Sll The control unit 16 extracts the screen data for one character to be restored obtained in step S from the screen data of the graphic display area 111 saved in the save area 122, and stores it in the bitmap memory 121. After restoring to the original position (steps S, . . . ), it is displayed on the bitmap display 11 (step S++). As a result, the screen portion of the image and figure corresponding to one character in the free space is restored and redisplayed.

Hereinafter, the above-mentioned steps S, , S, , S, ~S.

By repeating the process, the screen portion of the image and figure for one character in all the free areas in the reading character display area 113 is restored and redisplayed.

■ Step S 4 , SS , sa , SI 2 When the display and editing processing of the reading characters and the restoration and display processing of the original images and figures in the free space are all completed, the operator presses the manual end key of the reading characters (step S 4 ). )
. The control unit 16 determines whether the input is by manual input of reading characters (step Ss). If the input is not a reading character input, it is determined that the input was made manually using the single character deletion key (step Sa).

If the input is not performed manually using the single character deletion key, the control unit 16 determines that the reading character input is completed and performs an end process.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this embodiment, and include the display of reading characters in multiple graphic display areas, editing processing, and processing within one graphic display area. It can also be applied to displaying and editing reading characters for multiple positions.
