Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve efficiency for preparing a document by transferring the data of a required item between arbitrary processing modes even when a data format is different. CONSTITUTION:When the data in a transfer register 16 are displayed in a display part 18, an arbitrary character string is designated and when a write position is designated, it is checked operation is set to the processing mode to require the addition of header information or not. Then, the header information to be added are prepared and the character string is added. It is investigated whether the data transfer is executed to the processing mode requiring code conversion or not. After the designated character string in the transfer register 16 is processed as needed, the character string is stored in the designated write position of a data RAM 15-2 for address list.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document data processing device such as a word processor.

[Summary of the Invention] This invention is a word processor that is equipped with an address book function, a schedule function, etc. in addition to the original document creation function. By converting the data into a data format common to each function, the character string data can be used as data for other functions.

[Prior Art] In recent years, word processors have become more multi-functional, and word processors are known that have an address book function and a schedule unit in addition to the original document creation function.

In such word processors, document data in a unique data format predetermined for each function is processed by a dedicated processing program.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, each function has its own data format, so 1. For example, if a part of document data created with the original document creation function is moved into a document created with the address book function, or It is virtually impossible to copy or, conversely, to move or copy part of document data created using the address book function into a document created using the original document creation function.

Therefore, in the past, document data for a certain function was displayed on a text screen, and the data for the necessary items was entered by hand! ), and then switch to another function mode and input the written document data anew from the keyboard.

However, when document data that has been created for one function is required for another function, it is not possible to write down the data for the necessary items or enter it from the keyboard each time.
This method has disadvantages in that it is time consuming and troublesome, and documents cannot be created efficiently.

An object of the present invention is to enable data of necessary items to be transferred between arbitrary processing modes even if the data formats are different for each of the plurality of processing modes.

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

The document storage means l (see the functional block diagram in FIG. 1; the same applies hereinafter) stores document data in different data formats corresponding to processing modes, and corresponds to a plurality of processing modes with l=1. A plurality of document storage means 1 are provided.

The mode specifying means 2 is a key manual device or the like for specifying an arbitrary processing mode among a plurality of processing modes. Here, multiple processing modes are, for example, the original functions of a word processor (
(word processing mode), address book processing mode, schedule jp processing mode, etc. Note that in each processing mode, document data consisting of a data format specific to a predetermined processing mode is processed.

The data specifying means 3 specifies data to be processed in another processing mode among the document data in the document storage means 1 corresponding to the processing mode arbitrarily specified by the mode specifying means 2.

The format converting means 4 converts the data specified by the data specifying means 3 into a data format common to each processing mode. For example, in word processing mode, if the l character is composed of modification information etc. in addition to the character code. , the data format is converted into a data format common to each processing mode by deleting modification information that is unnecessary in the address book and schedule processing modes.

The data storage means 5 is a temporary storage memory or the like that stores and holds the data converted by the format conversion means 4.

The data reading means 6 arbitrarily reads the data in the data storage means 5 in any of a plurality of processing modes.

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

Now, in the word processing mode, it is assumed that part of the document data in the document storage means 1 corresponding to this processing mode is to be copied into a document in the document storage means 1 corresponding to the address book processing mode.

In this case, while the word processing mode is specified by the mode specifying means 2, arbitrary data is specified by the data specifying means 3 from among the document data created in the word processing mode.

Then, the format conversion means 4 converts the data specification 11 stage 3.
Converts the data specified in to a data format common to each processing mode. The data thus converted is stored and held in the data storage means 5.

As a result, data in a common format common to each processing mode is stored in the data storage means 5, so after the mode designation means 2 specifies the address book processing mode, the data readout means 6 stores the data in the data storage means 5. When read, the data will be copied into the address book.

Therefore, even if the data formats differ depending on the plurality of processing modes, data of necessary items can be transferred between arbitrary processing modes.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8.

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

In addition to the original word processing function, this word processor has address book running and scheduling functions, and the CPU II controls various operations of this word processor according to a control program stored in the program ROM 12.

Note that the program ROM 12 stores dedicated programs corresponding to the word processor section, address book function, and one run of the scheduler, and each program operates independently of the other, with predetermined programs corresponding to each function. The processing target is unique data consisting of a unique data format. In this case, when a processing mode is designated from the key human power section 13, the CPU II selectively starts a program in the program ROM 12 in response to a mode designation command taken in from the key human power section 13 via the input control section 14,
Set to word processing mode, address book processing mode, and schedule processing mode.

The document storage unit 15 has a data RAM 15- for word processing.
1. Data RAM 152 for address book processing, data RAM 15-3 for schedule processing, and processing buffer 1
5-4. Here, the processing buffer 15-4 is used when data within a pre-specified range of document data created in a certain processing mode is transferred to a document created in another processing mode. It temporarily stores data within a specified range, and the CPU II converts the data in the processing bar 72y15-4 into a data format common to each processing mode, and sets it in the transfer register 16.

Note that the CPU II sends document data to the display control section 17 to display and output it on the text screen of the display section 18, and sends one document data to the print control section 19 to drive the printing section 20 to print it out.

3 to 5 show unique data formats handled in the word processing mode, address book processing mode, and schedule processing mode.

That is, Figure 3 (a) shows the data format in word processing mode, where l characters of data are modified codes (2 bytes) that specify character modifications (#l, underline, white, etc.); Size code (2 bytes) that specifies the character size (double height, double width, free double angle, etc.)
It consists of a character code (2 bytes) expressed in S code. In this case, the modification code and size code are added as necessary, and the modification code is added only when the character is not in a standard typeface, and the size code is added only when the character is in a size other than full-width and half-width. Note that full-width and half-width specifications are added within the character code. FIG. 3(b) shows a specific example of this case.

Figure 4 (a) shows the data format in the address book processing mode, and the data for the address book includes address information 1 name,
It consists of the pronunciation, address, postal code, telephone number, and notes. In this case, the header information is composed of a control code indicating a record break and data indicating the number of bytes (data length) corresponding to a predetermined item (variable length data) of the record. Also, name, pronunciation, address,
Notes are expressed in JIS character codes,
The numbers for the postal code and 7If talk number are expressed in BCD codes in order to use memory capacity efficiently. Note that the postal code consists of 3 bytes, and the telephone number consists of 5 bytes. In addition, each character composing the name, reading, address, and fi-ko has no character modification code or size code added, and is all full-width or half-width characters without character modification. FIG. 4(b) shows a specific example of this case.

FIG. 5 shows the data format in the schedule processing mode, and the 1-minute data consists of ladder information, year, month, date, start time, end time, schedule details, and markings. In this case, the header appearance is the same 4-byte structure as above, and the year, month, day, start time, and end time are expressed in BCD code, and the year, month, and day are expressed in 4 bytes,
The start time consists of 2/(items), and the end time consists of 2 bytes.

Further, the schedule contents and markings are expressed in JIS character codes, and are full-width or half-width characters without character decoration.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

If you are currently in the word processor processing mode, some of the document data (a person's name, address, etc.) that you have input into the word processor data RAM 15-1 and created is stored in the address book data RAM 15-2. The operation of this embodiment will be specifically explained by taking as an example the case of copying to a computer.

First, in order to extract data of necessary items from the word processor data RAM 15-1, when a data import command is given from the key manual section 13, the CPU 11 executes operations according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

When the document data in the word processor data RAM 15-1 is displayed on the text screen of the 1 display section 18 here, if you operate the cursor keys etc. to specify the import range (step Al), the specified Data within the range is read out from the word processor data RAM 15-1 and transferred to the processing buffer 15-4 (step 7'A2).
).

In the first step A3, it is checked whether the current processing mode is the word processing mode.

On the condition that the word processing mode is selected, the data in the processing buffer 15-4 is changed to a data format common to each processing mode (step A4). That is, the data format corresponding to the word processing mode is as described above. Because it has a unique structure in which modification codes and size codes are added to the character code as necessary, 1
If a modification code or a size code is added to the character code, by deleting them, the data in the processing buffer 15-4 is changed to a data format common to each processing mode. Here, the common data format refers to a data structure consisting of full-width or half-width characters modified by one character SX. Note that a delimiter code is added to the end of the data converted into a common data format in this way.

Then, in the next step A5, the processing bar 27715-
The data in 4 is transferred to the transfer register 16 and stored and held.

FIG. 8 shows a specific example in which a specified character string in the word processor data RAM 15-1 is transferred to the transfer register 16 after being converted into a common data format.

After the desired data is fetched from the word processor data RAM 15-1 in this way, firstly, in order to incorporate the data into the document in the address book data RAM 15-2, first enter the address book processing mode from the key manual section 13. Specify and give a data write command on the primary side.

Then, the CPU II executes the operation according to the flowchart in FIG.

First, while the data in the transfer register 16 is displayed on the text screen of the display section 18, an arbitrary character string to be written to the address book data RAM 15-2 is specified from the width of the text screen (step B1). .

Next, while the data in the address book data RAM 15-2 is displayed on the text screen of the display unit 18, the designated character string in the transfer register 16 is transferred to the address book data R.
In order to instruct which position on the AM 15-2 to write, the writing position is specified (step B2).

Then, the process proceeds to step B3, and it is determined whether the current processing mode is a mode that requires additional data. That is, in the address book processing mode or schedule processing mode, header information is added to the beginning of the record as described above. However, in the word processing mode, it is not necessary to add the header ladder information, so in step B3, it is checked whether the processing mode is set in which it is necessary to add the header ladder information.

Since the address book processing mode is now set, header information to be added to the beginning of the designated character string in the transfer register 16 is created and added to the character string (step B4).

Then, in the next step B5, it is checked whether the data is to be transferred to a processing mode that requires code conversion.

In other words, as mentioned above, address book data and schedule data include data expressed in BCD codes, such as telephone numbers and postal codes, so if code conversion is required, it is necessary to convert them into JIS character codes. The expressed number is B
It is converted into CD need, or conversely, numbers expressed in BCD code are converted into JIS character code (step B6), but in this case, postal codes etc. expressed in JIS character code are converted into BCD code. Processing takes place.

After processing the designated character string in the transfer register 16 as necessary as described above, the character string is stored in the designated writing position of the address book data RAM 15-2 (step B7). Other pointers (for example, cursor pointers) are also updated.

In the above example, text data created in the word processing mode is copied to the address book data RAM 15-2, but in contrast to this, the text data created in the word processing mode is copied to the address book data RAM 15-2.
15-2 and the data in the schedule data RAM 15-3 are arbitrarily specified and the word processor data RAM 15-1
The same applies to the case of copying within the same area. Of course, the same applies not only to copying but also to processing such as movement.

Further, in the above embodiment, word processing mode, address book processing mode, and schedule processing mode are given as examples, but other processing modes may be used.
