The present invention is characterized by comprising a format data registration means for extracting a portion and registering the extracted data as format data.

Furthermore, the present invention is characterized by having a format data modification means for allowing an operator to modify the extracted format data into appropriate format data.

(e) Effect: According to the document processing apparatus of the present invention, format data such as tables and titles can be extracted from stored document data by providing the format registration means.

(F) Embodiment Hereinafter, the document processing apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail using FIGS. 1 to 6.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a data processing device implementing the present invention. (1) is a main control section, which controls each section of the apparatus based on a control program built into the control section. (2) is a bus that connects the main control section and each section, and performs data exchange between the sections. (3) is an input section consisting of a keyboard, mouse, etc., and in addition to inputting characters, ruled lines, etc., you can also move the cursor, convert kana-kanji, execute, etc.
It has an instruction key for instructing the start of format extraction. (4) is an output display section such as a CRT display or a liquid crystal display, which is controlled by a display control section (5). (6) is a data storage unit such as a hard disk or a floppy disk, which stores and stores created document data. (7) is a text memory which temporarily stores document data being processed, and when the processing is completed, such document data is transferred to and stored in the data storage section (6). (8
) is a data analysis section which extracts format data by comparing the data stored in the data storage section (6) and between the data in the data storage section (6) and the data in the text memory (7). (9) is a format data registration buffer, which is a buffer for writing the format data extracted by the data analysis section (8) one character at a time. (1o) is a format data registration unit which, after data analysis, registers the data written in the format data registration buffer (9) into the format data storage unit (11). (12
) is the format data correction section, and the data analysis section (
The data extracted by step 8) and written to the format data registration buffer (9) is corrected.

The 7 format data stored in the format storage section (11) is read by the format data reading section (13).
It can be read out and used in the text memory (7) at any time.

Then, 7-ormat extraction is performed using the data processing device described above in accordance with the procedure described below.

FIGS. 2A and 2S are flowcharts of a control program for performing format data extraction processing, 7-automatic registration, and modification processing in the document processing apparatus of the present invention.

Now, as shown in FIGS. 3(a) and (b), the input section (5
) are stored in the data storage unit (6), and the data analysis unit (8) uses the format extraction instructions from the input unit (5) to The two document data are compared, and the format data registration section (10) registers the extracted data in the format data storage section (11). Upon receiving the format extraction instruction, first, in step S10, the read pointer of each document to be compared is set to the beginning of the document. Next, in 520 steps, the data storage section (11)
Read data one character at a time. In step S40, the read data are compared, and if they match, writing to the format data registration buffer in step S50 is performed. Further, in step S60, the read pointer for each document is advanced, and the process returns to step S20, where the same processing is performed. This process is repeated until the document data ends, and when the end of the document data is detected in step S30, the registration processing routine shown in FIG. 2(b) is performed. In the registration processing routine, it is determined in step 5100 whether the 7-ormat registration buffer (9) is empty, and if it is not empty, the format data of the 7-ormat registration buffer (9) is displayed on the display by the display control section (3) in step 5ilo. (4), and if necessary, correction processing is performed according to instructions from the operator. Also, in step 5120, the data in the format registration buffer (9) is registered in the format data storage section (11). In this way, the format data shown in FIG. 4 is converted to the format data shown in FIG.
and (b) are registered based on the document data.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are schematic diagrams for explaining a second embodiment of the present invention.

In this example, when comparing two documents with different table sizes, the ruled line codes ("L" and "1"
), the ruled line code "1" of P2 may be continuous in the vertical direction, so check the continuity and whether the continuous ruled line code matches the ruled line code "L" of Pl. go. At P3, since the ruled line codes match, rL is written into the format data registration buffer (9). By performing the comparison process in step S40 as described above, it is possible to obtain desired format data even if the data is not the same as the original data. In this way, the format data shown in FIG. 6 can be extracted from the two documents shown in FIG.

In addition to the continuity of ruled line codes, character sizes such as half-width, full-width, and double-width, character decorations such as underlining, erasing, and shading, and the positions of characters and ruled lines can also be extracted as format data. It becomes possible.

Furthermore, by providing a format data modification section for modifying the extracted format data, it is possible to modify and register the format data as desired.

Although the present embodiment has been described using an example of two documents, format data can be extracted in the case of three or more documents or by comparing page by page.

(G) Effect The document processing device of the present invention can easily extract format data such as tables and titles from document data that has already been created by simple operations. To reduce the operational burden on an operator when creating a format.
