Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify and speed up the operation of cut and paste by copying copy data in accordance with the judged result of matching between copy data stored in a second storage means and the format of a block in a first storage means. CONSTITUTION:When a putting position is designated by operating a mouse 5, a code is extracted from a cut buffer 3. When the extracted code is a segment code, the code is newly extracted from the cut buffer 3, and a putting destination is shifted to a next format block. When it is judged that there is no next format block, putting is terminated with the extracted code as a cut buffer end. When the next format block exists, putting is resumed in the new block. When it is judged that the extracted code is not the segment code of the block, the extracted code fits to the format of the putting destination and the extracted code is written into the editer buffer 6 being the putting destination when there is a putting space.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to information processing devices, and particularly to information processing that performs pasting (Pa5te) and copying operations of character code strings in document creation and editors such as word processors and computers. It is related to the device.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, the pasting operation of a character code string in this type of information processing device is performed only when the data format of a specified location cannot accept the entire contents of the character code string in the cut buffer. Pasting is possible only when the character code is to be attached, or the receiver is configured to paste only the obtained character code and ignore subsequent character codes.

[Problem to be solved by the invention j However, in the above conventional example, for example, the scheduler (time: two numbers, schedule: letters), address book (name:
Kanji, katakana, hiragana, alphabet, phone numbers, parentheses, hyphen, address: letters and numbers), numbers only, katakana only, numbers and letters (kanji other than numbers, both kana characters, alphabet), special characters Blocks (sections) with different formats such as code only
When pasting to a string buffer that has both blocks, it is necessary to perform at least as many paste and import operations as there are blocks. As a result, operations for pasting and importing become complicated and troublesome, and
The drawback is that the original ease of use of ``T &Pa5te'' is lost.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, and includes the following configuration as one means for solving the above-mentioned problems.

That is, a first storage means for storing data consisting of blocks having a plurality of formats, a second storage means for storing copy data including data hoods indicating block divisions of the first storage means, instruction means for arbitrarily instructing the location of the data stored in the first storage means on the storage means; the format of the copy data stored in the second storage means and the block of the first storage means; a determining means for determining the consistency with the
and means for copying the copy data stored in the storage means.

[Operation] In the above configuration, Cut &
Operation of Pa5te can be simplified and speeded up.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information processing device that is an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the central control unit 1 controls the entire information processing device, and consists of a CPU 1a which is the main processor and a driver 1b for driving peripheral parts.
operates according to a control program stored in ROM2. The cut buffer 3 stores the captured character string data, and the display 4, which is a display means, displays the display data stored in the editor buffer 6. The mouse 5 is used to instruct the position of data in an editor buffer 6 and the data display position on the display, which will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the pasting process procedure in the embodiment.

The user of the information processing device operates the mouse 5 to specify the paste position, and when pasting is started, the code is extracted from the cut buffer 3 in step S1. At this time, even if cut buffer 3 is empty, cut buffer END
The code indicating the is extracted. Next, in step S2, it is determined whether the extracted code is the cut buffer END code or not. If it is the cut buffer END code, the pasting operation is completed. However, if the code is any other than that, the process proceeds to step S3, and it is determined whether the extracted code is a delimiter code representing a delimiter between blocks.

If it is determined in step S3 that the extracted code is a delimiter code, a new code is extracted from the cut buffer 3 in step S4, and in the subsequent step S5, pasting is moved to the next format block. Then, in step S6, it is determined whether there is a next format block,
If it is determined that there is no format block, the extracted code is set as the cut buffer END in step S7, and the process returns to step S2, thereby ending the pasting. However, as a result of the determination in step S6, if the next format block exists, the process returns directly to step S2 without going through the process of step S7, thereby restarting pasting with a new block.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that the extracted code is not a block delimiter code, it is determined in step S8 whether the extracted code conforms to the pasting format. If they do not match, the process advances to step S5, and the pasting process moves to the next format block.

However, if they match, the process advances to step S9, and it is checked whether there is space for pasting.

If it is determined that there is a space for pasting in this step S9, the extracted code is written to the editor buffer 6 in the next step S10, but if it is determined that there is no space for pasting, the extracted code is pasted into the previous editor buffer 6. The process returns to step S1 without attaching.

Here, referring to FIG. 3, the pasting operation in this embodiment will be explained.

FIG. 3 shows an example of pasting in the scheduler, and FIG. 3(a) shows how a character string is stored in the cut buffer 3. Further, FIG. 3(b) shows the configuration of the editor buffer 6, in which the first half of the buffer represents the time;
This is a format block that only allows numbers 0 to 9 as input codes, and is called the A block. The second half of the buffer represents the contents of the schedule, and is a format block in which characters such as kanji, katakana, hiragana, alphabets, and numbers from O to 9 are allowed as input codes, and is called a B block.

When starting pasting from the arrow position of the editor buffer 6 shown in FIG. 3(b), first extract the number "2" located at 01 of the cut buffer 3 of FIG. 3(a) (
(corresponds to step S1 in FIG. 2). The extracted code is not cut buffer END (N in step S2 in FIG. 2).

), nor is it a block delimiter code (equivalent to the second
(corresponds to NO in step S3 in the figure), so the format is compatible (corresponds to YES in step S8 in Figure 2)
It turns out that.

Next, check the space before pasting (Step S in Figure 2)
(equivalent to 9), then input the number “2” to A1 on the editor buffer 6.
” (corresponding to step S10 in FIG. 2), and similarly, the codes 02 to C8 of the cut buffer 3 are pasted to A2 to A8 of the editor buffer 6, respectively.

However, when pasting the numeric code °゛6'' in C9 of cut buffer 3, it is judged as NO in the previous space check (corresponding to step S9 in Figure 2), so the code is not pasted into the cut buffer. Return to the next code extraction from 3. In other words, the character code of CIO in cut buffer 3 is “shi”.
will be extracted. This character code is determined to be format incompatible (step S8 in Figure 2).
(equivalent to ), the paste moves from the A block to the B block, matches the format, and is finally pasted to B1 of the editor buffer 6. Similarly below, Ka! - The codes CI1 to C15 of buffer 3 are pasted sequentially to B2 to B6 of editor buffer 6, and when the cut buffer character string end code is extracted from C16 of cut buffer 3, the pasting operation ends.

As explained above, according to this embodiment, the point at which a character code that is invalid for the format at the specified paste position or a specified delimiter code appears is treated as a buffer block delimiter. , Paste has the advantage that operations can be performed continuously even for data having blocks in different formats.

Furthermore, since the pasting operation can be performed continuously, the pasting operation has the effect of reducing the number of operations and simplifying the operation.

<Other Examples> Next, other embodiments according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information processing device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the same components as those of the information processing apparatus shown in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

In the information processing apparatus shown in FIG. 4, character string data can be directly input and edited into the cut buffer 3 from the keyboard 7 as input means via the cut buffer editing device 8.

Therefore, a process of pasting by inputting character string data into the cut buffer 3 in advance and editing its contents will be described.

FIG. 5(a) shows the character string data stored in the cut buffer 3, and when the pasting process is applied to character string data such as Ex and Cut I, E in FIG. 5(b) is shown. x
, converted to the format shown in Edit I. However, if the character string data in cut buffer 3 is
), by adding four block end codes indicated by ■ in the figure, pasting is performed in the form shown in Ex and Editll in FIG. 5(b).

Furthermore, if the address data of Ex, Edit tlrl shown in FIG. 6 is taken into the cut buffer 3, Ex,
It is stored like Cut III. Therefore, when the cut buffer editing device 8 edits the character string data in the cut buffer 3 as Ex, Cut TV and pastes it, it is copied as schedule data in the form of Ex, EdztlV. That is, data having different block formats will be copied.

As explained above, according to this embodiment, by combining copy data and editing means, it is possible to easily and quickly paste data that skips intermediate format blocks or pastes data between different block formats. It has the effect of

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, there is an effect that data importing and pasting operations become easier.
