Abstract

PURPOSE:To preserve the memory of the position to be checked, and to make it unnecessary to move a retrieving mark to a sentence inputting position by designating the retrieving mark, and moving always the sentence inputting position to the position of the corresponding retrieving mark. CONSTITUTION:In retrieving mark designation, the sentence inputting position is moved to the place of a code inputted beforehand in a sentence in order to check the expression of the sentence later. Processing for retrieving the designated retrieving mark is executed, and if it is found, the processing for moving the sentence inputting position to the position of the found retrieving mark is executed, and the processing to meet each purpose of a sentence generating person is executed. After the correction of the sentence, if the designation of the retrieving mark is executed, the next retrieving mark can be retrieved, and another retrieving mark can be retrieved newly as well.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to text creation devices such as desktop publishing systems and word processors.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Text creation devices such as conventional technology desktop publishing systems and word processors can easily create, modify, and save large amounts of text, and their popularity is on the rise.

Generally, when creating a large amount of text, there is always a process of checking and correcting the text. In the process of creating a sentence, if there is a question about the expression of the sentence and it is known in advance that it will be necessary to check it later, conventionally, if there is a question about the expression of the sentence and it is known in advance that it will be necessary to check it later, it is conventional to record the point or add special characters or symbols to that point. I would create sentences by inserting things such as, and then begin the revision process and use them as clues to move on to the parts to check.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, when there are many locations that need to be checked, sufficient consideration must be given to the work of keeping records in the sense of uniquely expressing those locations. great effort must be put into. In addition, in tasks such as entering special characters or symbols in advance in the relevant location and using them as clues to find the location to be checked, it is necessary to consider selecting characters or signals that are not used in the text. Moreover, when explaining text using a display device such as a CRT, the symbol is displayed at the bottom of the display, which does not look good.

Means to Solve the Problem In order to reduce the above-mentioned labor, the present invention provides a means for inputting search marks that are not displayed, so that the search mark can be entered at a place that needs to be checked later in the process of writing a text. control means for moving the cursor to a corresponding location by instructing a search for the search mark.

Function The above configuration moves the cursor to the position of the invisible search mark inserted into the input text.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a text creation device according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which 11 is a control unit that centrally controls the text creation device in this embodiment, and 12 is a text input unit for inputting sentences. means, 13 is a search mark input means for inputting a search mark specified from among several types of search marks at an arbitrary position of a text; 14 is a text inputted by the text input means 12 and the search mark input means 13 and the search; 16 is a text storage unit that stores marks; 16 is a text input means 12 and a text output device that outputs the input text and search mark to an output device such as a CRT or LBP; 16 is a text storage unit 1;
The search mark retrieval unit has means for specifying a search mark to be searched throughout the text in the text storage unit No. 4, and searches for the specified search mark and moves the text input position to the corresponding position.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the search mark input means 12, in which several types of search marks are prepared at 21, and a comment section 22 is prepared so that the writer can take notes on the purpose of using the search marks. I have to.

In the output designation 23, it is designated whether or not to output the corresponding mark to the output device. In step 24, a search mark is designated and the search mark is inserted at the current text input position.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment for specifying a search mark from among 14 text storage sections, and 31 to 33 have the same configuration as the search mark storage area 21 and the display/output permission storage area 23 in FIG. 34 is a search mark storage area for storing specified search marks.

FIG. 4 shows a flowchart for searching for a search mark from the text storage section based on the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

An example of operation will be shown below using FIG. It is assumed that a sentence including a search mark is already stored in the sentence storage unit. In the search mark specification in step 41, the third
As an example in the figure, let's say that you have selected 1-ken 1', and you have entered 1 into the sentence in advance to check the sentence expression later.
Suppose you want to move the text input position to the location of the ``Detection 1'' code.

At this point, the text input position may be anywhere in the text.

In step 42, a process is performed to actually search for the specified search mark (1 search 1') in the text storage unit, and if found, the process moves to step 43, and if not found, the process ends.

In step 43, the text input position is moved to the position of the search mark found in step 42.

In step 44, processing is performed in accordance with each purpose of the text creator (in this embodiment, since it is "test 1", the text expression is reviewed and corrections are made if necessary).

After processing such as correcting the text in step 44, the third
If you specify a search mark for a diagram, the next search mark (″
1") or a new search for another search mark (step 46).

Effects of the Invention The present invention prepares search marks that are not displayed, allows these to be input at any location in a text, and by specifying a search mark, the text input position is always moved to the position of the corresponding search mark. You can do this by memorizing in advance where in the text you want to check.
There is no need to manually move the text input position based on this.
