Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the load of an operator and to prevent the duplication of the same file name by updating the prescribed characters based on a prescribed sequence for production of file names and therefore obtaining automatically a file name optimum to the document to be stored. CONSTITUTION:The document data is read out of an external storage means 1 to undergo the correction, the addition, etc., and sent to the means 1 and stored there as another document file. In this case, a file name production means 3 updates the prescribed characters based on a prescribed sequence and produces the file names. If a file name indicates 'minute book A', for example, a document storage means 2 produces a file name 'minute book B'. Then a detection means 4 checks whether the produced file name is stored in the means 1 or not. If so, the next file name 'minute book C', for example, is produced. Thus it is possible to automatically obtain a file name optimum to the document to be stored.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] This IJI relates to a sentence redata processing device such as a word processor.

[Prior art 1] Conventionally, in a word processor, when document data stored on a disk is read out, additions, corrections, etc. The operator had to input the file name each time.

[Problem that Part II aims to solve] Inputting file names in this way places a burden on the operator and is troublesome and difficult to perform before adding or modifying them, and it is not possible to quickly store them on the disk. There wasn't. In particular, if you specify a file name that is the same as an already stored file name, you will need to input another file name again.

This is due to the fact that unless the operator performs a file name input operation, it is not possible to assign an optimal file name to the document after additions, modifications, etc. have been made.

An object of this invention is to automatically generate an optimal file name for a document to be saved.

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

The external storage means 1 (see the functional block diagram in FIG. 1; the same applies hereinafter) is a disk or the like that stores document data in association with file names.

The document storage means 2 is a RAM or the like that stores document data, and is, for example, a text memory that stores document data after additions, corrections, etc. have been made.

The file name generation means 3 generates a file name by updating predetermined characters that are updated in a predetermined order. Here, the predetermined characters are, for example, rA, B, C, D,
...Z, A, B..." or "A...
I, tsu, 1 year old... N, a, i...
” and other characters and “l, 2, 3...lO...
・”, etc., other numbers, rAl, A2, etc.”
, "No. 1, No. 2"... or symbols, codes, etc.

The detection means 4 detects whether the file name generated by the file name generation means 3 is already stored in the external storage means 1, and when it is detected that the file name is already stored, the file name is The name generator 1st stage 3 is instructed to update characters to generate the next file name.

When the detection means 4 detects that the file name generated by the file name generation means 3 is not stored in the external storage means 1, the 1q and f stage 5 stores the file name as a document in the document storage means 2. It is written to the external storage means l together with the data.

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

Now, suppose that document data is read out from the external storage means 1, and after corrections, additions, etc. are made thereto, it is transferred to the external storage means 1 and stored as another document file.

In this case, in response to the operation of a predetermined document storage key, the file name generation means 3 generates a file name by updating predetermined characters that are updated in a predetermined order. Here, if the file name of the document before corrections, additions, etc. is made is, for example, "Miscellaneous QA", the document storage means 2 updates the characters rAJ to rBJ to generate the file name "Minutes B".

Then, the detection means 4 detects whether the generated file name is stored in the external storage means l. Here, if it is detected that the same file name is stored in the external storage means 1 as the file name of another document, the file name generation means 3 is instructed to update the characters and the next file name 1, for example " Minutes C" is generated. Further, if it is detected that the same file name is not stored in the external storage means l as the file name of another document, the writing means 5 writes the generated file name together with the sentence M data in the document storage means 2. Fill in the external storage means 1.

Therefore, an optimal file name for the document to be saved can be automatically generated.

[Example] Hereinafter, one embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

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

The CPU II takes in the document data input from the input section 12 and displays and outputs it from the text screen of the display section 13, searches the dictionary memory 14-1 in the ROM 14, converts it into a sentence containing kana-kanji, and displays the document data in the RAM 15. memory 1
Store it in 5-1.

The keyboard of the input unit 12 is provided with a character key, an execution key, a next candidate key, etc., as well as a new document save key KA and a document update save key KB.

Here, the new document storage key KA is a key for instructing that newly created document data in the document memory 15-1 should be transferred to the floppy disk drive 22 (FDD) 16. When the new document save key KA is operated, the CPU II generates a file name by updating predetermined characters that are updated according to a predetermined order. The generated file name is saved on the FD together with the document data in the document memory 15-1, provided that it is not stored as the file name in the document memory 15-1.
D controller 17 and written to FDol6, at this time, the work memory WM1. WM3U,
WM3S is used. Note that the work memory WMI is F.
The work memory WM3U, which is a memory that stores file names read from the index area of the DD 16, stores user file names arbitrarily input and created by the user, and the work memory WM3S is updated according to a predetermined order. Stores the system file name created by automatically updating the predetermined characters. Here, the file name that includes both the user file name and the system file name becomes the file name of the newly created document. For example, of "Minutes A", "Minutes" is the user file name, and "rA" is the system file name. This will be the file name. Also,
The document update/save key KB is a key for instructing that when document data is read from the FDol 6 and updated, the updated document data should be transferred to the FDol 6 instead of the original document data.

In addition to the dictionary memory 14-1, the ROM 14 is provided with a character generator CG, which converts the document data in the one-document memory 15-1 into a dot pattern when outputting the document data, thereby forming a CRT display device. or output from the display section 13.

It is output from the printing unit 18 that constitutes the thermal printer.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the FDD 16, which is provided with an index area IA and a document area DA. Note that the index area IA stores pointer values indicating the file names and document storage positions corresponding to various types of document data stored in the document area DA.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The flowchart starting from step St in FIG. 4 shows operations that are started when the new document storage key KA is operated. Here, the new document save key KA is operated when inputting and creating completely new document data and then saving the document data in FDol6.
This operation is performed when reading document data with a specified file name from 16, making corrections, additions, etc. thereto, and then storing it in FDol 6 as a separate document from the original document.

First, when the new document save key KA is operated.

It is checked whether the user file name is stored in the work memory WM3U (step Sl).

Here, the work memories WM3U and WM3S (hereinafter, both may be collectively referred to as work memories WM3).

) stores the user file name and system file name that make up the file name when document data with a specified file name is read from FDo1B.
When completely new document data is input and created, no file name is stored in the work memory WM3. Therefore, if it is detected in step Sl that no user file name is stored in the work memory WM3U, that is, , when a completely new document is created and a user file name is entered, this file name will be stored in the work memory WM.
It is set to 3U (step S2).

Next, all file names are read from the index area IA of FDDl6 and written into the work memory WMI (step S3).

Then, it is checked whether the system file name is stored in the work memory WM3S (step S4). If the system file name is not stored in the work memory WM3S, that is, a completely new document is created. If so, proceed to step SIO to generate a system file name and initialize it in the work memory WM3U.
For example, the system file name is rA, B, C...
・Z.

A, B...'', work memory WM3U
The initial system file name is "A".
Further, if the system file name is stored in the work memory WM3S, that is, if the document data with the specified file name is read from the FDDl 6, step S
Proceeding to step 5, an increment process is performed to update the system file names in the work memory WM3S in a predetermined order.

Here, the alphabet letters "A" ... "Z"
is JIS code r0333J...ro 358
J, so if you want to update the character from "A" to r13J, write rl to the code (0333)J of rA.
J Just add 4. In addition, the number rQJ, old... "9
” also JISD-ro 316J-...,, ro
325'', the system file name can be updated using the same method as described above.

When the system file name is initialized or updated in this way, a file name consisting of the user file name and the system file name is generated in the work memory WM3. Then, in the next step S6, the file name generated in the work memory WM3 is changed to the work memory W.
Check whether it exists in MI. Here, if the generated file name already exists in FDDl6, step S5
Return to , update the system file name, and then search the contents of the work memory WMI.

The update process described in -L is repeated until a file name that does not exist in FDDlS is generated.

As a result, when a file name that does not exist in the FDDl6 is generated, the process proceeds to step S7, and the user file name and system file name in the work memory WM3 are displayed and output together with the guidance sentence. In this case, do you want to save file name ××× (contents of work memory WM3)?
” guidance is displayed.Then, the operator waits for the key to be manually operated (step S8).Here, the operator checks the displayed content and operates the execution key if it is the desired file name, but it must be the desired file name. If the next candidate key or fm@m main complement is operated, the process returns to step S5 to increment the system file name, and if the previous candidate key is operated, the process returns to step S9. The system file name is decremented, and on the condition that the newly generated file name does not exist in the FDo 16 (step S6), a guidance display (step S7) is performed, so the desired file name is decremented. All you have to do is operate the next candidate key or previous candidate key until the file name is displayed.

On the other hand, when the execution key is operated, the process advances to step S13, and the document data in the document memory 15-1 is transferred to the FDD l6.
write in the document area DA. And work memory W
FDD the file name in M3 along with the pointer value 6

Note that the document storage process described above is performed using the new document storage key KA.
is operated, but from FDD l 6, a
When reading out the document data, updating it, and storing it in the FDDl 6 instead of the original document data, the document update/save key Kn is operated. Step Sl in Figure 4
The flowchart starting with l shows the operations executed at this time.

When this document update/save key KB is operated, the file name in the work memory WM3 is displayed and output together with the guidance text (step 5ll).
3, when the document data to be updated is read from the FDD 16 along with its file name, this file name is stored, and in this case, a guidance message "Do you want to update file name XXX?" is displayed. will be held. Then, the process advances to step S12, and the process waits for key human power. Now, if the cancel key is operated, the process ends, but if the execution key is operated, the process advances to step S13 and the document data in the one-document memory 15-1 is transferred to the document area D of the FDD 16.
At the same time, the file name is written to the index area IA of FDDl6 along with the pointer value (step S14).

In the above example, "3 Minutes A", "Minutes B", etc.
I gave an example of ``Volume 1'', ``Volume 2''...
...etc. Also, the system file name is not limited to one character, but "100", r200"...
It may also be a string consisting of multiple characters, such as .

[Effects of the Invention] This invention automatically generates the optimal file name for the document to be saved, so it can be stored quickly on a disk, etc. without putting a burden on the operator. Duplicate file names can be reliably prevented. In particular, since a file name that can be recalled as being related to the file before addition, modification, etc. is performed is automatically generated, file management can be performed easily.
