Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a data processing device that creates data to be displayed on an external display board on an internal display screen, and particularly to a data processing device such as a personal computer that is compatible with display boards of various sizes. It is related to.

0002

[Prior Art] Data processing devices such as personal computers that create data to be displayed on an external information display board on a display screen require software for data creation, and a floppy disk or the like that stores the program is required. The data will be created after it is inserted.

[0003] There are various sizes of information display boards, but when data is created using the same data processing device, the size of the display screen of the processing device is fixed, so the size of the display screen of the processing device is fixed. As shown in 7, a separate floppy disk 2 containing a dedicated program is required for each size of information display board 1. That is, there is separate data creation software for each size of information display board.

0004

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In conventional data processing devices, it is necessary to build software individually for display boards of different sizes as described above, which results in poor software development efficiency. , there was a problem that the number of floppy disks etc. increased.

[0005] This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to create data for display boards of different sizes using the same software, and also to create the optimal data according to the size of the display screen. The object of the present invention is to obtain a data processing device that can create data in the state.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A data processing device of the present invention is a data processing device that creates data to be displayed on an external display board within a display screen, and includes an input means for inputting a dot size value of the display board; A size determination processing means is provided for setting a data creation area within the display screen according to the dot size value, and the size determination processing means sets one area of the display board according to the dot size value of the display board. It is configured to change the correspondence ratio between dots and one dot on the display screen.

[0007]

[Operation] In the data processing device of the present invention, the dot size value of the display board is input, and the data creation area within the display screen is set according to the dot size value.
It becomes possible to create data compatible with display boards of different sizes using the same software in an optimal state.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 3 is a main body of the processing device, which is connected to an external information display board. 4 is a display unit; 5 is a display control unit that controls the display; 6 is a data creation processing unit that creates data to be displayed on the information display board on the display screen of the display unit 4; and 7 is information input from the keyboard 8. This is a size determination processing section that sets a data creation area within the display screen of the display unit 4 according to the dot size value of the display board, and the keyboard 8 also serves as a means for inputting the dot size value of the information display board. Reference numeral 9 denotes a mouse for drawing figures and giving control instructions using a cursor on the display screen.

Next, the operation will be explained. When expressing one dot on the information display board on the display unit 4,
It is difficult to draw dots on a one-to-one basis with each dot on the display screen, so it is necessary to make multiple dots on the display screen correspond to one dot on the information display board. Therefore, in this embodiment, the dot size value of the information display board is inputted from the keyboard 8, and the size determination processing section 7 determines one dot on the display board and one dot on the display screen according to the dot size value.
Data is created by changing the correspondence ratio with the dots and optimizing the data creation area within the display screen.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation for optimizing the data creation area described above.

First, an initial menu screen is displayed on the display unit 4 in step S1, and the vertical and horizontal dot sizes of the display board are input on the keyboard 8 in step S2. Next, in step S3, a display data creation screen having an optimal data creation area A and control command areas B and C corresponding to the input display board size value as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed. Thereafter, in step S4, data is created (drawn) using the keyboard 8, mouse 9, etc.

[0012] In step S3, the number of dots on the screen constituting one dot on the display board is set to be optimal for data creation. In this case, the correspondence ratio between one dot on the display board and one dot on the screen is reduced, for example, as shown in FIG. do.

Similarly, when the size of the display board is medium,
Increase the correspondence ratio a little, for example 1:1 as shown in Figure 5.
The correspondence ratio is 6. In addition, when the size of the display board is small, the correspondence ratio is further increased, for example, 1 as shown in Figure 6.
The data creation area A is brought into an optimal state as a correspondence ratio of 64.

Note that FIGS. 4 to 6 are enlarged views of a part a of the data creation area A in FIG. 3, and in the case of FIG. The dot is 1 on the display board
Corresponds to dots, and in the case of Figure 5, 16 (4 x 4) on the screen
Each dot corresponds to one dot on the display board, and in the case of FIG. 6, 64 (8×8) dots on the screen correspond to one dot on the display board.

In this way, since the data creation area is determined by changing the correspondence ratio between one dot on the display board and one dot on the screen according to the size of the display board, the area on the screen of the display unit 4 is Data can be created in the optimal state according to the size. Furthermore, even if the size of the display board is different, the size value of the display board is entered in advance from the keyboard 8 to change the size, so data for display boards of different sizes can be created using the same software. , floppy disks, etc. may also be common.

Note that the above-mentioned correspondence ratio and number of switching stages can be arbitrarily set by software.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a means for inputting the dot size value of the display board and setting the data creation area on the screen according to the size value.
It is possible to create data for display boards of different sizes using the same software, and the data can be created in an optimal state according to the size of the display screen.
