Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the input form conforming to an intention of a document generating worker by providing a ruled line generating means for generating a ruled line in the line direction, and a character-string moving means for moving a character-string. CONSTITUTION:A document input part 3 is provided with a ruled line generation processing part 6 being a ruled line generating means, and a character-string movement processing part 7 being a character-string moving means. In such a state, in the case flows of plural character-string inputs delimited by a ruled line join in the same digit position, the ruled line is generated automatically in the line direction, and plural joined flows are divided by the generated ruled line. In such a way, it is prevented that flows of plural character-string inputs are joined, and also, it is prevented that the flow of the character-string input is limited, and the input form conforming to an intention of a document generating worker is obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a document creation device having character string input digit control means for wrapping the flow of an input character string or starting a new line depending on the presence of ruled lines.

With conventional document creation devices, when lines are drawn within a document,
Some had the ability to control the flow of input strings using ruled lines. For example, in the case of a horizontally written document, if the character string input method hits a ruled line from the left, a line break will be made at this position as the line break technique, and the line after the line break must be at the column position before the ruled line from the right, or the ruled line must extend to the beginning of the line. In this case, the position of the first column of the line was set to the position of the character after the line break.

Now, if a vertical ruled line is drawn in the center of a horizontally written document, in the document creation device described above, there is a first flow that flows between the beginning of the line and the ruled line to the left of the ruled line, and then to the right of the ruled line. A second flow is created that flows with line breaks between the ruled line and the end of the line.

In the above-mentioned document creation device, if the vertical ruled line is interrupted in the middle, both the first flow and the second flow continue to the beginning of the line where the ruled line is interrupted, so both of the vertical ruled lines are interrupted. The flows were mixed (first conventional technology).

As a technique to solve this problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-21766
There is a method disclosed in Publication No. 9 (second prior art), but when this technology detects a confluence of flows, it selects only one of the flows and stops the other flows. .

In the above example, for example, only the first stream continues to the line where the ruled line is broken, and the second stream allows input only up to the line before the line where the ruled line is broken. Therefore, if the character string manually entered in the second flow exceeds the predetermined number of characters, the input worker should extend the vertical ruled line and use the first input that has already been input in the extended part of the ruled line. In 1L, the character strings belonging to the second flow had to be wrapped at the column before the vertical ruled line, and the overflowing character strings belonging to the second flow had to be input.

As mentioned above, when two or more input character strings are merged into one line because the ruled line is broken, for example, the first stream continues on the line where the ruled line is broken. Then, when trying to continue the second flow or the line with broken ruled lines, according to the prior art of -1-memory 1, two streams are mixed, so in the line with broken ruled lines, the second flow is continued. There was a problem in that the character strings belonging to the first stream were written in the first stream.

Furthermore, according to the second conventional technique, double writing of character strings can be prevented, but when inputting character strings belonging to the second flow into ruled lines or broken lines, it is necessary to use vertical ruled lines as described above. There was a problem in that the work needed to be extended was a burden on document preparation workers.

Old Testament This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances,
The document creation device according to the present invention has a ruled line creation means that automatically creates ruled lines in the row direction, and when a plurality of character strings separated by ruled lines are merged at the same digit position, the ruled lines are Automatically create lines in the direction and divide multiple flows that were merging using newly created ruled lines. At this time, the character strings that have already been input in the lines after the line where the ruled lines are broken before the fourth ruled line is created are automatically moved by the character string moving means into the divided area. The purpose of this ruled line creation means and character string moving means is to prevent the flow of a plurality of character string inputs from merging and to limit the combing of character string inputs.

Furthermore, the document creation device according to the present invention controls the operation of the ruled line creation means according to the selection of the document creation worker, and when the document creation worker does not intend to create ruled lines, the document creation device does not automatically create ruled lines and the operation continues. The object of this invention is to provide a document creation device that selects only one flow and restricts the other flow at a confluence point.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following features: (1) When a character input digit reaches a ruled line or the end of a line, a line break is performed in the input character string with this position as the line feed digit position, and a line break is performed in the input character string after the line break. In the line, check the previous column position in order from the line break position,
If there is a ruled line in the previous digit position, the next character input position is the next digit position after the digit where the ruled line existed, and if there is no ruled line in the previous digit position, the line starts at the next character input position. In a document creation device having a character string input digit control means for controlling character input digits, the document creation device has a ruled line creation means for creating ruled lines in the row direction, and a character string moving means for moving the character string, (2) The ruled line creation means can be selected. The following is a description based on embodiments of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining one embodiment of a document creation device according to the present invention. In the figure, "-" indicates an input section such as a keyboard, 2 indicates a document display section such as a display, 3 is a document input section that manages input character strings; 8
9 is a document editing section that inserts/deletes character strings in a document, manages ruled lines, etc., 9 is a document storage section that stores documents, and the document input section 3 includes a character input processing section 4, a line break processing section 5,
It consists of a ruled line creation processing section 6 and a character string movement processing section 7.

The embodiment according to the present invention is characterized in that the document human resource section 3 is equipped with a ruled line creation processing section 6, which is a ruled line creation processing means, and a character string movement processing section 7, which is a character string movement processing means.

FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of process (2) of the character input processing section. Assuming that the flow of character input currently being created is "flow 1", the character input process of flow 1 repeats the procedure from 5tart to end in process (2).

Below, each step will be explained in order.

5tapl; Accepts character input from input section 1.

Check whether the last character input reached the end of the line. If you have reached the end of the line, you cannot input the next digit after the digit you entered last time, so line break processing 5te
Perform p 10.

5 step 3; Even if the end of the line has not been reached in 5 step 2 above (assuming the input is from left to right), if it hits the ruled line from the left side, it is still not possible to input the next digit after the digit input last time, so line break processing is performed in step 5.
Do H.

If you have not reached the end of the line or the ruled line, the digit next to the digit you entered last time becomes the new input right, and then enter the input characters in the new input right, and then displays.

Finally, check whether the new input right is at the end of the line, and if so, set the end of line flag (step 12)
).

If it does not correspond to the above 5 step 6, reset the flag, then check whether it hits the ruled line from the left, and if it does, set the ruled line arrival flag (step 1)
3).

Kizuntoku: If it does not apply in Step 8 above, reset the flag and finish.

FIG. 3 shows the flowchart 1 of process (2) of the line feed processing unit. Control is transferred to the line feed processing section at step 10 or step 5 of character input process (2) shown in FIG.

Below, each step will be explained in order.

5tepl 4; First, perform a line feed using the previous input authority.

More specifically, enter the line feed code in the next digit of the previous input right.

5te15-ste17; Next, in the line after the line break, the search is performed in order from the column position where the line break occurred to the left until it hits a ruled line or the beginning of the line.

7; If the ruled line is reached from the right in step 16 above, the new input right is set to the right side of the ruled line.

5tepl 9 ; If the line head is reached at step 517 without reaching the ruled line at step 516, the new input right is set at the head of the line.

n: In both the cases of 5 step 18 and 5 step 19 above, it is checked whether characters already exist in the new input right, and d: If there are characters, a ruled line creation process is performed to prevent the two flows from merging.

If the character does not exist in step 20, enter the input character in the new input right, and the document display section 2 displays this character. 7; Perform the character input process (■) again.

FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of process (2) of the ruled line creation processing section. At step 523 of the line feed process (2) shown in FIG. 3, control is transferred to the ruled line creation processing section.

Below, each step will be explained in order.

d; First, check whether the ruled line creation flag is turned on.

d; If the ruled line creation flag is turned off in step 24 above, automatic creation of ruled lines is not the document creator's intention, so a warning sound is displayed to indicate that no more characters can be entered, and the character input process is started again. return.

If the ruled line creation flag is turned on in step 24, it is assumed that the document creator's intention is to automatically create ruled lines.

Furrow construction: Find the flow in which a character already belongs to the new input right of flow 1, and define it as "flow 2." In other words, since the character string of stream 2 already exists in the new input right of stream 1, the two streams will merge if left as is.

stl;Next, the ruled line that separated stream 1 and stream 2 up to the previous line is detected and extended by one line in the line direction from the end point of the immediately previous line. To detect the ruled line that separated Flow]- and Flow 2 until just before, for example, select the ruled lines in the previous row whose left and right sides belong to Flow 1 and Flow 2, respectively. There is a way. Figures 5(a)-(d)
) shows an example of extending ruled lines. In the figure, ■ indicates a cursor that indicates the input position of the next character. In Figure 5(a), ra
In flow 2, the character strings a, ..., aabb, ..., J have already been input, and currently in flow 1, "Love your country and love your work" has been input, and you are about to input "su".

Normally, the position where "su" should be input is the position of rbJ at the beginning of the line, and if this continues, the two streams will merge.

Therefore, I would like to extend the vertical ruled line that was in the previous line and use the ruled line as the new character input position (Fig. 5(b)).

In FIGS. 5(c) and 5(d), ruled lines are created in the row direction from the open end point of the horizontal ruled line in the immediately preceding row. Figure 5(a)
The method of creating ruled lines shown in ~(d) is just an example, and of course.
Methods of creating ruled lines other than those described in 1 can also be considered.

ste, p 28 ; Check whether the character string of flow 2 that was displayed on that line until it was newly created is divided by the created ruled line. FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b) show an example of a divided case. raa,,,aabb,,
, cc.

, d, dee, , J is divided between "C" and "C] by a vertical ruled line newly created for one line.

Sections -gP, , -2-p: If the character string of flow 2 is divided by the created ruled line as shown in FIG. 6(a), the character string of flow 2 is moved.

Co-pressure 1. ．． 9. −; If not divided, recalculate the new input digit of stream 1. For example, if stream 1 is the stream on the left side of the newly created ruled line]1, the previously calculated input digit remains unchanged.

In this case, the character string in flow 2 is the character string movement process 5 step 29
The flow has been moved to the right side of the ruled line by ], so the merging of the flows does not occur. Furthermore, if flow 1 is a flow on the right side of the newly created ruled line, the new input digit of flow 1 will be on the right side of the newly created ruled line. In this case flow 2
Since the character string has been moved to the left side of the ruled line by the character string movement process 5 step 29, no merging of flows occurs.

Then enter the characters in the new input digit,
Display is performed on the document display section 2, and control is transferred to the character input processing section again.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of process (2) of the character string movement processing section. At step 29 of the ruled line extension process (2) shown in FIG. 4, control is transferred to the character movement processing section.

Below, each step will be explained in order.

sl: First, move the character string of flow 2 after the line where the flows merge into the buffer.5. At this time, the input digits have changed due to the newly created ruled line.

If there are no more characters for 1 calculation □ shadow focus 7 buffer, return to step 30 in FIG. 4 and continue the process of the ruled line creation processing section.

As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) The document creation device SICO based on the claim code of the present invention automatically moves the ruled lines in the row direction when multiple character string inputs separated by ruled lines merge at the same digit position. It is possible to divide multiple flows that have been created and merged using the created ruled line, thereby preventing the flow of multiple character string inputs from merging and restricting the flow of character string input. It is possible to obtain an input form that meets the intentions of the document creator.

(2) Furthermore, using the document creation device according to claim 2 of the present invention, when a document creation worker first determines the position of a ruled line and then attempts to create a document to fit the ruled line, By suppressing automatic creation, it is possible to obtain an input form that meets the intention of the document creator.
