5 to 7 are explanatory diagrams showing an example of the storage format of the frame edited document data memory 4. FIG.

The frame edited document data memory 4 stores data in a format as shown in FIG. In Figure 5,
The layout information is data for editing various frames described later, character frame 1 and character frame 2 are input into the divided sections, and the actual character data is input, and the character string is stored in the character frame [and character frame 2]. Image 1 and Image 2 are image data. The image data is actually stored as a numerical value of a pointer, and the image data indicated by a dot is stored in the memory location indicated by the pointer.

The character data stored as character boxes 1 and 2 in FIG. 5 are shown as repeated data in FIG.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a detailed storage format of the layout information shown in FIG. 5.

In FIG. 6, the maximum number of pages is determined by the number of pages editing the frame. The mark, page number, number of frames, and frame information are information about page l, the page number is the number of that page, the number of frames is the number of sections divided for that page,
The frame information is information such as the position and size of each section, which will be described later. After these page numbers, number of frames, and frame information data are stored continuously for the number of pages set in frame editing,
The end code or two are memorized as a terminator.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a more detailed storage format of the frame information shown in FIG. 6.

The frame information further includes format/tab information, frame start information, frame size information, frame attributes, frame number, and terminator. The format/tab information is information on format settings and tab settings. The frame start information indicates the coordinate value of the upper left corner on the printing paper of two sections divided by f in millimeters. The size information indicates the vertical and horizontal lengths of the partitions in units of grooves. The frame attribute indicates the nature of the section, such as an input-prohibited frame where no data can be entered, or graphical data such as a graph or image. The frame number is the order of the divided sections, and is set at the first time when data that cannot be accommodated in one section is sequentially poured in. Terminator is the 6th
There is an end coat as shown in the picture.

A display device 7 includes a CRT display device or an LC (liquid crystal) display device, and a display device 7 includes an EL display device, etc., and displays various input contents and operation contents.

Reference numeral 8 is a printing memory consisting of RA to RA, and is a one-time memory for developing repeated data for actual printing based on the frame information stored in the frame editing document data memory 4.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a printing device consisting of a thermal transfer type dot printer that outputs the results of repeated printing stored in the printing memory 8.

During the frame editing process, the control unit 2 displays a frame of a size corresponding to the maximum print area of a paper such as A4 or B5 on the screen of the display device 7. When the user divides the display frame into a desired size using the keyboard I, the data of the divided sections is stored as layout information in the frame editing document data memory 4, and the divided sections are stored as layout information in the frame editing document data memory 4. Edit the data entered each time.

That is, when the frame is divided into a plurality of sections, the control unit 2 stores the coordinate values of each section in the area of the start information shown in FIG. 7, and stores the size of each section in the same frame size information. is stored in the area. In addition, if the area is set as a graphic frame into which graph data or image data is input, or if the area is set as an input-prohibited frame in which no data is entered, the settings will be changed as shown in Figure 7. Store in the frame attribute area. Furthermore, if it is set whether or not to be repeatedly printed for each section, the setting contents are stored in the frame attribute area.

After such frame editing processing, when various character data is input from the keyboard 1 into one of the divided f; The character data is stored in the frame editing document data memory 4 for each input area, such as f 2 data input into the first area, 1 data input into the second area into the character frame 2 area, and so on. I remember 3 things.

Then, when an instruction is given from the keyboard l to repeatedly print, for example, the first section, the size of each section is sequentially read out from the frame size information area in FIG.
Compare with the size of the second partition to check for equality.

In that case, first, the frame information of the three sections f shown in FIG. If the frame is an input-prohibited frame or a graphic frame, it is excluded from comparison. After the comparison is complete, if the sizes of the sections other than those excluded from the comparison are all the same, then the repeated data stored in the character frame l, which is the data in the first section, is added to each section. I will copy it to. During this copying, the frame attributes of each section are checked again, and copying is not performed for input-prohibited frames and figure frames, and sections that are outside of these frames and are set as repeat printing frames are checked again. Make copies only.

In this way, the copied repeated data are stored in the printing memory 8, and the printed data are printed by the printing device 9.

Next, the contents of the processing operation of the control section 2 will be explained according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing details of the upper equal division check.

When checking the equal division of a frame, the control unit 2 first resets the bit of the equal division flag to "00" (turns off all 1-byte determination information) (step 21), and points the frame information pointer. (Step 22).

Then, read out the first frame size, which is the size of the first section, and temporarily store it (step 23), set a pointer, and check whether it is the section of the frame information or the last section (step 23). 24), if it is not the final partition (
Step 25), reads out the frame information indicated by the current pointer, sets the size of the section (step 26), and checks whether the section is an input-prohibited frame (step 27) or a graphic frame (step 28). ), if the input-prohibited frame is not a figure frame, check whether it matches the temporarily stored size of the first section (step 29), and if it does not match (step 30), set the equal division flag to "F".
F" (all 1-byte determination information is set to ON) (step 31), the frame information pointer is incremented by 1 (step 32), and the process returns to step 24.

If it is an input prohibited frame in step 27 and if it is a graphic frame in step 28, step 29
is not checked. Further, in step 30,
If the size matches the size of the first partition, step 31
The equal division flag is not set.

Note that if the equal division flag is set to "FF", an error message is displayed without proceeding to the next process.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of repeated data expansion.

After checking the equal division of the frames described above, if this repetitive data expansion process is to be performed, or if repetitive data is to be expanded, the control unit 2 first sets the frame information pointer (step 41), Then, it is checked whether the section in the second frame information is the final section (step 42), and if it is not the final section (step 43), the frame information indicated by the current pointer is read out and the frame attribute of the section is reduced. (Step 44), and the area does not have an entry-prohibited frame (Step 45).
), it is not a graphic frame (step 46), and if it is set as a repeating print frame (step 2 47)
, Copy the repetitive data stored in the character frame 1 shown in FIG.
The frame information pointer is incremented by 1 (step 49), and the process returns to step 42.

If it is an input-prohibited frame in step 45, if it is a graphic frame in step 46, and if it is not set as a repeat printing frame in step 47,
The repeated data development in step 48 is not executed.

Figures 10 to 12 are explanatory diagrams showing specific examples of such processing. FIG. 11 shows the arrangement of sections for repeated printing. FIG. 12 shows the printing results actually obtained by repeated printing.

In this way, in the document processing device with a frame editing function of the present invention, the normal frame editing process and the repeated printing process are not particularly separated into modes, and during character data input, the editing process is performed in the same way as normal frame editing. . If repeat printing is instructed, the equal division check process shown in FIG. 8 is executed, and if the check is OK, the repeat printing mode is entered. Note that if this check is not successful, the repeat printing mode will not be entered.

Second, an input prohibition frame is set to enable repeated printing even for sections that are not evenly divided, and this section is excluded from repeated printing. As a result, even for formats in which a margin occurs on the right or bottom side of the paper, repeated printing is possible by setting the section of the margin as an input-prohibited frame.

In addition, so that you can print on a portion of the paper,
Set a repeating print frame for any section.

Then, print data is not repeatedly developed in graphic frames such as graphs and images, but the graph and image data are developed as they are.

(G) Effect of the Invention According to the invention according to claim 1 of the present application, after dividing the frame in the frame editing process, the size of the division is checked, the information is copied, and the printing process is repeatedly performed. Because of this, frame editing processing and repeated printing processing can be executed in the same mode, ensuring compatibility of data and operations, and reducing the burden on the operator.

Furthermore, according to the invention according to claim 2 of the present application, the size of the section is not checked for sections set as input-prohibited frames. Repeated printing is possible, and printing on commercially available paper is also possible.

Furthermore, according to the invention according to claim 3 of the present application, it is possible to individually set whether or not there is a return printing frame for each divided section, so it is possible to print on a portion of the paper, can be used efficiently.
