Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily qualify the characters by applying the instructed qualification of characters to all header character strings having the same logical positioning as a pointed header character string out of all header character strings contained in a document. CONSTITUTION:When a pointing means gives an instruction of qualification to an optional character of a header character string, a control means decides whether the character set at the position of a cursor is included within the header character string or not based on the comparison carried out between the characters set at the cursor position and the range of the header character string of a 1st storage means. Then the control means reads a hierarchical level out of a 2nd storage means when it decides that the character set at the cursor position is included in the header character string. The read-out hierarchical level is compared with all hierarchical levels stored in the 2nd storage means. Then the range of the corresponding header character string is read out to the coincident hierarchical levels, and all characters included in the range of the header character string are qualified by a character qualifying means. In such a way, the characters are easily qualified.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to document editing processing using a word processor, a personal combiator, a work stage seal, etc. This invention relates to a collection and processing device.

[Conventional technology]

When creating/editing a document, the structure of the document may be divided into chapters, nine sections, and sections (1), etc., to form a hierarchical structure.

In such cases, the heading character strings for the divided hierarchies are underlined or shaded, and the font, font size, and color are changed.

In a document editing processing device such as a food processor, a character modification means is used in such a case.

Conventionally, in order to make this type of character modification work, on the screen where 1 document creation 2 editing etc. is executed, the first character and the last character of the heading string to be modified are specified at two points using a cursor etc. There is a need to.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional technology divides a document into document structures in units such as a section corresponding to a chapter, a section corresponding to 2 sections, and a section corresponding to 9 sections, and all the heading character strings of the sections located in the same document structure unit are given the same character modification. No consideration has been given to when to apply it.

In other words, the conventional technology had a problem in that in such a case, the first character and the last character of every heading character string had to be specified at 92 points using a cursor or the like to modify the characters. .

For example, each time a document has a heading string with a different position, such as chapter 2, section 2, etc., use a cursor to specify the first and last characters of the heading string at 92 points.
There was a problem in that character modification was dangerous and time-consuming.

Furthermore, in order to confirm whether or not all heading character strings, which should be placed in the same position in the document structure, have been given the same character modification, it is necessary to display and confirm the relevant portions.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a document editing processing device that can perform character modification to a heading character string in a document with simple operations.

Specifically, the purpose of the present invention is to modify characters in a heading string in a document by simply specifying one point in the heading string, and to modify all characters in the heading string. To provide a document editing processing device that can perform a modification, and further, can perform a character modification on a heading string having the same position in a document structure as the heading string. .

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes an input section for inputting character strings and various instructions, a storage section for storing document data, a processing section for performing document editing processing, and a display section for displaying processing results. In the document editing processing device equipped with the above-mentioned device, when an arbitrary character of a header character string in a document is specified from the input section to instruct character modification, the character is placed in the same logical position as the header character string containing the specified character. It has a function to apply specified character modification to all heading character strings.

The present invention also provides character modification means for modifying designated character strings in a document, symbols indicating positions of heading character strings delimiting logical components of one document, and logical a first storage means for storing a pattern indicating a position; an input means for inputting the symbol and a character string matching the pattern; and a first storage means for inputting the symbol and a character string matching the pattern; A sentence v! comprising a judgment means for comparing the pattern with the pattern and judging the logical positioning of the document. 1
In the editing processing device, an instruction means for instructing character modification to a heading string in a document, and an instruction means for instructing character modification to a heading string in a document, and a pointing string in the same logical position as the heading string instructed by the instruction means among all the heading strings in one document. The present invention further includes a control means for causing the character modification means to perform specified character modification on all of a certain heading character string.

Further, in the present invention, preferably, a second storage means for storing the range of each heading character string and information (for example, 1.2, etc.) representing the logical positioning of the document constituent unit including the heading character string. Equipped with

The second storage means each includes, for example, a data memory of hardware constituting the document editing processing device of the present invention,
It can be provided as a heading management table that stores the range of each heading character string in a document and the logical positioning of the document constituent unit including the heading string as one unit.

A pattern indicating the logical positioning of document constituent units can be registered by the user inputting arbitrary characters, symbols, etc. and storing them.

This type of pattern generally includes "Chapter 1", "
Section 1” 2 mouths IJ, rl, J, ra, J.

A pattern consisting of letters and symbols such as r(1)J can be considered.

The user only needs to register these patterns in advance. Also, patterns can be registered even while creating a single document.
It may also be done after one creation.

The characters and symbols that make up the above-mentioned patterns often include numbers. Therefore, when these patterns are registered, the first storage means that compares the header character strings and patterns in the document and stores the logical positioning of the document constituent unit including the header character strings, and the determination means that determines the For example, if a character pattern of "Chapter 1" is registered, it is preferable to recognize the code of the first character, an arbitrary number code, and the character code of the chapter. If you set it like this, for example, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 5...
Even if there are consecutive chapters, such as in the following, there is no need to enter and register all of them, and only need to register "Chapter 1".

The instruction means may be composed of, for example, an input device such as a keyboard and a central processing unit 1 (CPU).

The present invention relates to a document editing processing device, but it is not limited to devices such as word processors that create documents and collect NTA, but can also be applied to personal combinations that have document editing functions. It goes without saying that this includes those configured as part of functions such as , work stage exploration, etc.

[Effect]

The present invention allows a document to be written as, for example, chapter 1, section 1, etc.
When configuring a hierarchical structure, special characters and symbols representing chapters, sections 2, items 2, etc. are repeatedly used in the heading strings, and these are usually used for each document constituent unit. This was done with a focus on being placed at the front of the line.

In other words, if such characters and symbols are used as indicators, it is possible to recognize the range of the heading character string and furthermore, the document constituent units belonging to the same hierarchical level from the various hierarchical levels that appear repeatedly in the document. Can be done.

The present invention makes such patterns correspond to the document hierarchy. A symbol (hereinafter referred to as a heading symbol) indicating the position of a heading character string that delimits the logical components of the document.

) and a pattern indicating the logical positioning of the document, and an input means for inputting the heading symbol and a character string matching the pattern are functions for this purpose.

Then, when the heading symbol and the character string matching the pattern are input, the range and hierarchy level of the heading character string in the document are detected and stored in the second storage means. Make sure to keep it.

In the range of the heading character string, the heading symbol is the first character, and the last character is a paragraph delimiter symbol, such as a line break or a page break. Further, the first hierarchical level is detected by determining whether the pattern is present in the range of the heading character string.

On the other hand, when the instruction means instructs character modification to an arbitrary character of the heading character string, the control means determines whether or not the character at the cursor position is included in the range of the heading character string. The determination is made by comparing the character position at the cursor position with the range of the heading character string in the first storage means. The instruction by the instruction means includes, for example, positioning the cursor on a character to be modified and inputting a function key such as underlining or shading.

Further, the control means: 1. If it is determined that the character string is a heading character string, the control means reads the hierarchical level from the second storage means. Then, the read hierarchy level and the second
Compare all hierarchical levels stored in the storage means of , and if there is a match, read out the range of character strings of the corresponding heading, and apply the character modification to all characters in the range of the heading string. Employ special means to modify characters.

Therefore, by specifying one point for any character in a heading string, the user can modify all characters in the heading string. The same character modification can also be applied to the heading string.

This greatly reduces the number of operations the user has to perform, improving usability.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the system configuration of a document editing processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 5, this system inputs characters.

an input device 502 for instructing trick collection, memorization, printing, etc.;
A CPU 501 that controls input 1 editing, storage, and printing based on input and instructions from an input device 502;
Program memory 5 for storing 501 control programs
04, a data memory 506 for storing document data,
A display device 503 that displays documents and an auxiliary storage device 505
and an output device 507 that prints document data.

FIGS. 1(a) to 1(d) are examples of data tables required in this embodiment.

FIG. 1(a) shows a heading management table that stores the range and hierarchical level of heading character strings in one document. This table lists one document, for example, one chapter and one section.

When configuring in a hierarchical structure such as a section, address 10 where the first character data of the heading character string of each constituent unit is located.
1, the address 102 with the last character data, and the hierarchical level information 10s are stored as one unit.

FIG. 1(b) is a character data table that stores character data constituting one document from the beginning of the document. This table stores character codes 104 and character modification information 105 as one unit.

FIG. 1(o) is a heading symbol table that stores a heading symbol 106, which is a character code indicating the beginning position of a heading character string.

In FIG. 1(d), the hierarchical level 107 and the character pattern 108 representing the hierarchical level can be combined into one unit. Note that it can also be saved in the auxiliary storage device 505.

Next, using FIGS. 2 and 3, writing of data to the heading management table shown in FIG. 1 (ra) will be explained.

First, the CPO 501 reads character data from the character data table (C step 202). However, in advance, CP
O501 determines whether or not there is character data to be read (step 201); if so, the process of step 202 is performed; if not, the process ends.

Next, the CPU 501 determines whether or not the character code of the read character data matches the heading symbol 106. If they match (C step 205), the process of step 204 is performed; if they do not match, the CPU 501 performs the process of step 204;

The process of step 201 is performed.

In the process of step 204, the CPO 501 writes the address on the character data table of the character data read out in step 202 to the first character address 101 of the heading management table.

Next, in order to determine the last character of the heading character string, the CPO 501 sequentially reads and determines the character data following the character data read in step 202. In step 206, it is determined whether the character code of the read character data matches the character code of the paragraph delimiter, or whether the character code of the read character data is the character data at the end of the document. However, if there is a match but the character data is at the end of the document, the process of step 207 is performed.
In step 205, the next character data is read out.

Here, the character code of the paragraph delimiter symbol is the character code of line feed or page feed.

In the process of step 207, the CPO 501 converts the address on the character data table of the character data determined in step 206 to the last character address 10 of the heading management table.
Write in 2.

Next, the CPU 501 determines the hierarchy level of the character string in the range indicated by the first character address 101 and the last character address 102 written in steps 204 and 205, that is, the hierarchy level of the heading character string (C step 208). .

This determination is made, for example, using the 70-chart shown in FIG.

First, the CPU 501 reads out the character pattern 108 representing the hierarchical level from the pattern table (step 3
01). Next, the read character pattern 10B and the heading character string are compared (step 302). Here, if the two match, the process of step 305 is performed, and if they do not match, the process of step 301 is performed.

In the process of step 303, the CPU 501.

Step! The hierarchy level 107 corresponding to the character pattern 108 read out in step 102 is written to the hierarchy level 105 of the heading management table.

Next, the character modification process for the heading character string in this embodiment will be explained using chart 70 in FIG. 4.

The input device 502 instructs the character modification to the heading character string. In response to this, the CPU 5 (N) detects the address of the character data at the same coordinates as the coordinates on the screen where the cursor displayed on the screen of the display device 503 is located,
Memorize this for - hours.

It also stores modification information instructed at the same time (hereinafter referred to as modification information A).

In FIG. 4, the CPU 501 first reads the first character address 101 and the last character address 102 from the heading management table (step 401).

Next, the CPO 501 determines whether the character data address stored at the time of writing is within the range of the address read out in step 401 (step 402). and,
If it is within the range, the process of step 403 is performed, and if it is not within the range, the process is ended. In step 403, the corresponding hierarchy level 103 (hereinafter referred to as hierarchy level information A) is read out from the heading management table and stored at -. Thereafter, the CPU 501 performs the following processing from the first record to the last record of the heading management table.

First, in step 404f, the CPU 501 executes the first character address 101. The end character address 102 and the hierarchical level 103 are read out, and in step 405 it is determined whether the read hierarchical level 105 and the hierarchical level information A match.

In this determination, if they match, the process of step 406 is performed; if they do not match, the process of step 407 is performed.

Step 404"t' is the step 4
The modification information A't- is written into the modification information 105 of the character data corresponding to the address range read in step 04.

In step 407, the CPt 1501 determines whether there is data in the heading management table to be read.

Here, if there is, the process of step 404 is performed; if not, the process ends.

After the modification information has been input in this way, the character data of the one-character data table is read out and displayed on the display bag @5osos+ side. When displaying characters, the display bag @503 underlines or shades them according to the modification information of each character data.

Display one font by setting the font size, color, etc.

Based on the above, no matter which character in the heading string is specified for modification, all characters in the heading string including that character can be modified, and at the same time, the same level as the heading string. Character modification can also be applied to the heading string that is the level.

In this example, for the heading symbol,
Character modification may not be performed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, a document is divided into document structures in units of a section corresponding to a chapter, a section corresponding to 1 section, a section corresponding to 9 sections, and a heading character string of each document structure unit. When modifying characters by specifying one point in the heading string, all characters in the heading string can be modified, and at the same time, all characters in the heading string can be modified at the same hierarchical level as the heading string. Character modification can be applied to a certain heading string by placing it in - brackets. Thereby, there is no need to check whether the same character modification is applied to the heading character strings in the same hierarchy.

Therefore, one advantage of the present invention is that character modification can be performed with a simple operation to a heading character string in a document.
