Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the best correction result by providing an unmagnified image window wherein a history of corrections are known and one unmagnified image window wherein an image being corrected is displayed on a display. CONSTITUTION:When an operator corrects characters in a correction window 31 on the display 13b, the correction is added to character image data 22b corresponding to a pointer 'P2' registered as an active window in a correction and unmagnified window control information table 21a. Consequently, characters in a 1st unmagnified image window 35 are not altered and characters in a 2nd unmagnified image window 36 are altered. A past image can, therefore, be viewed during the correction of an image, so the history of corrections is known and when an image of a good pattern is found in the past image, the image is moved to the correction window 31 and the correction can be restarted. Consequently, the operation for image correction is performed efficiently.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a character editing support device, and particularly to a method for displaying a full-size character image displayed on a display when editing or correcting characters on the display. The present invention relates to a character editing support device that can be improved to facilitate editing of characters, etc.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when editing characters, etc. using a display, the characters to be modified are displayed in a modification window enlarged several times, and the actual work is performed within the modification window. be exposed. At this time, one auxiliary character at the same size is displayed on the display so that the corrected character can be viewed at the same size.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when editing the character "1", the character "1" is enlarged and displayed in the correction window 2 on the display 1, and displayed on the same size image window 3. The character "1" of the same size is displayed. Therefore, the operator uses the mouse to edit the correction window 2.
When the character "1" is modified, the image in the 1x image window 3 is also modified or changed at the same time, and the operator can check the 1x image to see if the editing progresses as desired. You can judge whether or not.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, when editing characters or the like, conventionally only a correction window and one same-sized image window were displayed on the display. For this reason, there is a problem in that when an operator wants to see what kind of corrections have been made by looking at an image in the middle of editing work, such as characters, he or she cannot do so. Furthermore, even if the user thinks that an image in the process of editing is better than the current image and wants to display this image on the display again, there is a problem in that it is not possible to display this image again. Another problem is that it takes time and effort to realize this.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the problems of the prior art described above,
To provide a character editing support device capable of obtaining optimal correction results by simultaneously displaying a plurality of different character images of different size on a display in the process of correcting characters, etc. There is a particular thing.

(Means and Effects for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes at least one life-sized image window on the display that allows the history of the modified image to be seen. The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with means for displaying one same-sized image window for displaying an image.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a means is provided for displaying the image displayed in the same-size image window for history in a correction image window as necessary.

According to the present invention, since it is possible to view past images while modifying an image, the history of modification can be seen, and if there is an image with a good pattern among the past images, that image can be used for modification. You can move the image to the window and start editing again, allowing you to proceed with image correction work more efficiently.

(Example) The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of an apparatus to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, 11 is an input device consisting of a keyboard and a mouse, 12 is a hard disk, and 13 is a display. Further, 14 is a CPU, and 15 is a program control section.

These are connected to each other by a bus 16.

When editing characters, etc., a predetermined program of the program control unit 15 is executed by the action of the CPU 14. When this program is executed, the operator inputs the characters, etc. to be modified from the hard disk 12 to the display 1.
It can be enlarged and displayed on the correction window above 3. Then, it is possible to modify the image of the enlarged and displayed characters etc. using the input device 11 such as a mouse.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic block diagram for explaining the functions of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, blocks corresponding to those in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals.

The input device 11 has a function 0 for inputting image modification information, a function for inputting first and second commands 1.2, etc. by operating a mouse or the like. In addition, the first,
The specific content of the second command 1.2 will become clear from the description below. The editor 21 is a main part of this embodiment, and has a function of creating image data for simultaneously displaying a plurality of different character images at the same size on the display 13b during the process of modifying characters and the like. The memory 22 provides a work area used to create data for the plurality of different character images of equal size. The display memory 23 has a function of holding image data displayed on the display 13b. The display control unit 13a has a function of controlling the display 13b, and also has a function of moving a cursor on the display 13b when the mouse of the input device 11 is operated.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4. FIG. 1 shows the editor 21 and memory 22.
FIG. 4 is a diagram explaining the operation of the display 13.
An example of the display contents of b is shown.

Now, when the operator selects a command for editing work such as characters and specifies a specific character (for example, rlJ), the character is read from the hard disk 12 and transferred to the memory 22. Therefore, on the memory 22,
As shown in FIG. 1, image data 22a of the character "1" is stored. Further, in the editor 21, a same-size window Lll information table 21a and a same-size window individual information table 21b as shown are created.

The equal-size window control information table 21a is a table for managing the number of equal-size windows displayed on the display 13b, the pointer of the active equal-size window, and the like. Note that the meaning of the active equal-size window will become clear from the explanation below. The same-size window individual information table 21b is a table in which the individual pointers, display positions, sizes, etc. of the same-size windows displayed on the display 13b are registered.

Image data 22 of the character “1” is stored in the memory 22.
When a is stored, the image data 22g is enlarged and transferred to the display memory 23. As a result, image data of the enlarged character "1" is stored in the display memory 23.

As a result, the modification window 3 on the display 13b
1, the character rlJ is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. 4(a), for example. In this embodiment, the first and second commands 1.2 are displayed on the modification window. For example, in response to the first command 32, r
select l++agel J is displayed, and in response to the second command 33, rshov LIttle 1
magelJ is displayed. Note that 34 indicates a cursor.

Therefore, when the operator uses the cursor 34 to modify the image of the character "1" on the modification window 31,
The image data 22a on the memory 22 is similarly modified or changed.

During this time, the number of equal-size windows in the equal-size window control information table 21a is displayed as "0", and the pointer of the active equal-size window is displayed as r NI LLJ. Note that r is displayed in the pointer field of the active same-size window.
NI LLJ is displayed on the display 13b.
This is because the same size window having an image that changes in synchronization with the image on the correction window is not displayed above. In addition, the same size window individual information table 2
Even in 1b, the state in which no data is registered is maintained.

Next, when the operator places the cursor on the second command 33 in FIG. 4(a), that is, rshov Little ImagctJ, and clicks it, the first same-size image is displayed as shown in FIG. 4(b). An image window 35 is displayed on display 13b. At this time, the following operations are performed within the editor 21.

When the operator selects the second command 33, the pointer column 21a1 of the active equal-size window of the equal-size window control information table 21a is accessed. At this time, since the column is rNILLJ, it is determined that the same size window has not yet been opened on the display 13b. Therefore, the editor 21 operates to open the same size window on the display 13b based on the image data 22a.

As a result, the same size window control information table 21a
The number of equal-size windows becomes "1", and the pointer of the active equal-size window becomes "Pl". Also, the pointer “P” is added to the same-size window individual information table 21b.
1'', its display position and size are registered.

In this manner, after the same-size image window 35 of FIG. 4(b) is opened, when the operator makes corrections to the characters in the correction window 31, the active The modification is made to the character image data corresponding to the pointer rPIJ registered as a window. As a result, on the display 13b, the characters on the same size window 35 change in synchronization with the correction.

Next, when the second command 33 is selected again by the operator, the pointer column 21a1 of the active equal-size window in the equal-size window control information table 21a is accessed, similarly to the above. At this time, the internuclear space is NILL
Therefore, the operation of copying the image data 22a in the memory 22 is performed, and the same data 22b as the image data 22a having the pointer "P2" is copied to another area in the memory 22. Then, the pointer of the active equal-size window in the equal-size window control information table 21a is changed to "P2". Also, the pointer “P” is added to the same-size window individual information table 21b.
2" and its display position and size are added.

At this time, the image data 22b in the memory 22 is read out and transferred to the display memory 23, so a second 1-size image window 36 is opened on the display 13b as shown in FIG. 4(C). become.

Next, when the operator makes a correction to the characters in the correction window 31 on the display 13b, the correction is made to the character image corresponding to the pointer "P2" registered as an active window in the same size window control information table 21a. The modification is added to the data 22b. Therefore, the characters in the first equal-size image window 35 do not change, but the characters in the second equal-size image window 36 are changed.

After that, when the second command is selected by the operator, the same operation as described above is repeated each time, and the pointer corresponding to the pointer registered as the active window in the same-size window control information table 21a is The character image data is modified, while the character image data corresponding to the unregistered pointer is retained as is.

As a result, according to this embodiment, the character images at the time when the second command is input are sequentially displayed as still images on the display, allowing the operator to view the progress or history of corrections.

Next, suppose that the first to third equal-size image windows 35 to 37 as shown in FIG. 5 are opened, and the active equal-size window is the third equal-size image window 37. , the operator selects the first command 32, i.e., rselect Isagel J, and then the first same-size image window 3
4 is clicked, it is determined from the display position and size data in the same-size window individual information table 21b shown in FIG. 1 that the same-size image window has been selected. As a result, in this example, the pointer "Pl"
It is determined that the same size image data 22g has been selected. The same-size image data 22a is then enlarged and sent to the display memory 23, where it is enlarged and displayed within the width of the correction window 31 on the display 13b.

Also, at this time, the same-size window control information table 2
The pointer registered as an active window in 1a is "Pl". Therefore, the same-size image window that changes in synchronization with the corrections made to the correction window 31 thereafter becomes the first same-size image window 35.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when the first command is selected and the desired 1x image window is selected, the image in the 1x image window is enlarged and displayed in the correction window, and the correction is performed. It becomes possible to continue the correction again from the image data in progress.

When the character data read from the hard disk 12 is corrected by the above operations, the character data is stored in a predetermined area of the hard disk 12. At this time, the data may be overwritten at the first read position on the hard disk 12.

The above operation will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, when an operator selects a command for editing text or the like, an image of the text or the like to be modified is displayed enlarged in a modification window on the display. Therefore, the operator makes corrections to the correction window using a mouse or the like (step Sl).

Next, it is determined whether or not the second command has been input (step S2).

If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S3, where it is determined whether a full size image window, that is, a full size image is being displayed. If the determination is negative, the process advances to step S5, and an operation is performed to open a new 1-size image window. At this time, the image on the same size image window is associated with the enlarged image for correction. - On the other hand, if step S3 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S4, and the display of the same-size image window that has been displayed up to now is changed to a still image. And step S
Proceeding to step 5, operations similar to those described above are performed.

In this way, when the second command is selected, the 1-size image windows are opened one after another, and the 1-size image window that was opened before the new 1-size image window is opened becomes a still image.

When the judgment in step S2 is negative, step S6
Proceeding to step , a determination is made as to whether the first command has been input. If this determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S7, where the image of the selected same-size image window is displayed in the modification window, and an operation is subsequently performed to associate the image with this.

Therefore, by selecting the image that has become the still image using the first command, the operator can start the correction operation again based on the image.

When the determination at step S6 is negative, it is determined whether the modification is completed (step S8), and when the determination is negative, the process returns to step S1 to continue the modification work.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, when the operator desires, it is possible to successively create 1-size windows of the same image as the image currently being modified. At this time, the most recently displayed full-size window will change at the same time as the correction window is changed, and the previous full-size window can be displayed as a still image as it was before, so you can work easily. This has the advantage that the person can see the history of the correction work by looking at the image displayed in the same size window.

Furthermore, by selecting any one of the same size windows with the first command, the image of the selected window can be displayed in the correction window, and the correction work can be restarted based on this image. Therefore, image correction work can be carried out efficiently.
