Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently execute character data input work by displaying a document on an original as image data on a document editing screen. CONSTITUTION:The handwritting document or the printing document on the original is converted into image data by an image reader 7 and is stored in an original memory 8. Image data 9 from the original memory 8 is displayed on the left-side of a display part 3 as the document editing screen. Character data information is inputted from a keyboard 2 while image data 9 is referred to so as to edit/prepare the document 10. The document 10 is sequentially displayed on the right-side of the document editing screen. Thus, an operator can easily recognize an input character data content by slightly moving eyes at the time of inputting character data when the document on the original is revised and it is clearly edited by a word processor and the like or it is edited and prepared as a new document.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document creation method when creating a document using a so-called word processor or a personal computer, and in particular refers to document image data read and displayed on a document editing screen. The present invention relates to a document creation method in which a document can be simply and easily edited or edited on the same document editing screen.

0002

[Prior Art] Until now, handwritten documents on manuscripts,
Alternatively, when editing a printed document again using a word processor or a personal computer, or editing it as a new document, keep the manuscript nearby and input character data while checking the document content on the manuscript. In reality, documents are edited as fair copies or edited as new documents. At that time, a so-called manuscript table is known as a device that facilitates confirmation of the position of the data input target on the manuscript, but even if the manuscript table is placed next to the document editing screen,
Since it is necessary to check the document content on the manuscript and the input data document content on the document editing screen, the operator's line of sight must frequently move between the document table and the document editing screen. ing. In other words, in conventional document editing and editing, it takes a lot of time to enter character data in order to confirm the data input contents, making it impossible to efficiently input character data. That is the reality.

[0003] An example of this type of technology is Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2-50252. In this case, character data is input and inserted at a desired position by the operator while referring to the format image superimposed on the character display screen.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, when a handwritten or printed document on a manuscript is edited or edited as a new document using a word processor or a personal computer, it is necessary to Document content and input data on the document editing screen The reality is that character data input takes a lot of time because it is necessary to confirm the document content. In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-50252, although it is possible to change or update a document and to easily fill in blank sections, it is not enough to confirm the contents of input character data. Therefore, it is impossible to make it easier. An object of the present invention is to edit and edit a handwritten or printed document on a manuscript using a word processor or a personal computer, or to edit and create a new document by editing the document content on the manuscript and inputting it on the document editing screen. To provide a document creation method that can efficiently perform character data input work by quickly and easily confirming the contents of a data document.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above object is to read and display a handwritten document or a printed document on a manuscript as image data on a document editing screen, and while referring to the display of the image data, edit the same document. This is achieved by performing fair editing or editing and creating a new document on the editing screen.

[0006]

[Operation] Handwritten documents on the manuscript, on the same document editing screen,
Alternatively, if the printed document is read and displayed on the document editing screen as image data, the operator can refer to the image data displayed on the document editing screen without moving his/her line of sight to the document itself. When inputting character data, the content of the input character data can be easily confirmed while slightly moving the line of sight.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. First, the document creation device according to the present invention will be explained.
FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration. In this case, the CPU 1 functions as a control section, and each section is controlled overall by the document creation software 5. Further, character data information and control information are input to the CPU 1 from the keyboard 2 as an input section.
Among them, while the character data information is temporarily stored in the edited document memory 6, the handwritten document on the manuscript (not shown),
Alternatively, the printed document is also converted into image data by the image reader 7 and then stored in the original memory 8. The display unit 3 as a document editing screen also has a keyboard 2 based on the document creation software 5.
Character data information from is created and displayed as a document, but
Since the image data from the document memory 8 is also displayed on the document editing screen when the document is created and displayed, if character data information is input from the keyboard 2 while referring to the image data, it is possible to make a fair copy of the document. Alternatively, editing and creating new documents can be done efficiently. At this time, the screen division/synthesis unit 4 determines how the image data from the original memory 8 and the document based on the character data information from the keyboard 2 are displayed on the document editing screen. That is, the screen splitting/combining unit 4 switches between displaying the image data from the original memory 8 and the document based on the character data information from the keyboard 2 in a split state or displaying them in a superimposed manner. It is something.

[0008] To specifically explain the split display, FIG. 2 shows an example of the split display. As shown in the figure, in this example, the image data 9 from the document memory 8 is displayed on the left side of the document editing screen, and the document edited and created by referring to the image data is displayed on the keyboard on the right side of the document editing screen. Documents 10 are sequentially created based on the character data information from 2.

Next, the superimposed display will be explained as follows.
This is to sequentially overwrite the image data 9 from the document memory 8 with character data information from the keyboard 2 while displaying the image data 9 from the document memory 8 on the document editing screen as shown in FIG. The overwritten portion is created as the document 10. By using this superimposed display function, it is not only possible to edit the layout in the same way as the original, but also by importing partial image data as is into the edited document, it is possible to avoid mixing diagrams, pictures, handwritten characters, etc. Documents can also be easily created.

0010

As explained above, in the case according to claim 1, when a handwritten or printed document on a manuscript is edited or edited as a new document using a word processor or a personal computer, the original By quickly and easily confirming the document content above and the input data document content on the document editing screen, character data input work can be performed efficiently.
