Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a writing apparatus suitable for application to, for example, a so-called word processor or a word processor using a so-called word processor software in a personal computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a so-called word processor, which is a device for creating a sentence, and a technique for activating a so-called word processing software by a so-called personal computer to create a sentence have been widely used.

In any of these cases, a user inputs a character such as hiragana or the like from a keyboard and repeats the operation of converting the input character such as hiragana or the like into kanji or the like to create a sentence. ..

In addition to the input of characters for creating such a sentence, the execution of the function assigned to the key by the input of a specific key on the keyboard and the various functions (document file A display (referred to as a window, etc.) indicating the saving or setting of the format) is made, and is assigned to the display item by selecting the display item indicating the function on the display surface using the cursor keys of the keyboard. The function can be executed.

A display showing these various functions, that is, a window is referred to as a pop-up window which extends from the bottom on the display surface, and a pull-down window which extends from the top on the display surface. There is a window that is opened.

Although these windows have already been described above,
Select multiple functions or operation names displayed as character strings in these windows with the up and down cursor keys on the keyboard, and confirm these selected functions or operation names with, for example, the Enter key to execute the function or operation. Or, it can be canceled with the cancel key.

In this method, a plurality of functions and operations can be assigned to one key, and one key is limited to one function, that is, it is not necessary to provide the keyboard with keys corresponding to the above-mentioned functions and operations. A simple menu selection method that allows you to select the desired function or operation with the cursor keys while looking at the display of the function or operation name on the display surface without having to search for the key to which the above function or operation is assigned. is there.

As described above, the word processor and word processing software which have been widely used in the past have been variously devised so as to be convenient for the user.

By the way, in recent years, the user has entered characters,
A word processor or word processing software that can be used to support the user, which can be used to create a sentence from the input characters and create one sentence such as a paper or report sentence from the many sentences created in this way Software (for example, a program recorded on a disc) has been proposed.

As an example of word processor and software for word processing software which supports such a user, word processing software for computers by APPLE, USA and software for personal computers by NEC Corporation are given as examples. Be done.

This software is generally called an outline processor or idea processor.

The feature of this outline processor is that by classifying sentences into units such as chapters and sections, it is possible to create sentences while grasping the overall structure when creating long sentences such as papers. Has been done.

That is, the structure of one sentence (outline)
Created by the user himself, and based on this outline, repeatedly creating text by inputting characters using the word processing software etc. as described above to create one sentence. Is.

Generally, the outline information created by the outline processor can be output as a file in a format such as a text format that can be used by word processing software.

For example, a method of displaying the above outline as a window on the display surface for creating a sentence in word processing software, a method of temporarily printing the created outline on paper with a printer, and the like can be referred to. ..

[0016] For example, when creating a text such as a paper, first divide the paper to be created into desired units, and in each unit, write a comment such as "what and how to write" to the writer. , You can freely write (input) a summary of what you actually write, build the whole, and then actually create a sentence for each unit using word processing software etc.

By using such an outline processor, even a person who is unfamiliar with writing a text such as a paper or a report text first divides the text into predetermined units, examines each of them, and after the examination, writes the text about each. Since it is designed to create, it is possible to create sentences such as papers and reports that are fairly organized.

Further, for example, after the user uses the outline processor to create an outline for creating a text of a certain format about a certain content, an outline is created for creating a text of another format about the same content. In other words, when creating an outline for creating a report on the same content after creating an outline for creating a paper on a content, for example, In order to make the outline created for creating a report into the form of an outline for creating a report of the same content, on the outline processor, the outline for the paper, such as the character deletion function and the copy function, can be used. Re-edited using various text editing functions and reorganized into a report outline It is done by again.

That is, an outline created by the outline processor for creating a text of a certain format is already created even if the text has a different format and the target content is the same, even if a new outline is not created. All you have to do is re-edit the outline.

As described above, by using the outline processor and word processing software, the user can compose a sentence after grasping the composition (outline) of the sentence prepared by the user himself. ..

[0021]

By the way, in the conventional outline processor, the structure of a sentence, that is, the structure of a sentence such as "what to say first, what to say next ... what to say at the end." Must be considered by the person who writes the text, and whether or not the reader can effectively convey his / her will depends on the ability of the text writer.

Regarding the way of writing sentences,
It has been published as a so-called how-to book, but the only way for the writer to know about the text he is trying to write is to spend some time learning, such as reading several such books.

In addition, as a practice of writing a sentence in compulsory education, a composition sentence or an impression sentence is a typical sentence, but in the compulsory education, many of them are made to be a sample by reading a sample sentence. Adopting a teaching method such as writing like a sentence, it is difficult to make a practical teaching method in which it is possible to write a good sentence in what order, where and what to write. Had not yet been put into practice.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and even a person who cannot write a sentence can create a high-quality sentence and, at the time of creating a sentence that is unfamiliar to writing, The present invention intends to propose a sentence creating device that allows the user to know in real time while creating a book without reading a book or the like about points to be noted.

[0025]

As shown in, for example, FIGS. 1 to 21, a text creating apparatus according to the present invention stores an explanatory text indicating an idea for creating a text and an explanatory text indicating a writing method for creating the text. Readout means 3, 4, 16 for reading out the data of the explanatory text indicating the idea for creating the text and the data for the explanatory text indicating the writing method for creating the text from the storage means 6, 17 and the reading means. A display unit 12 for displaying data of an explanatory sentence showing an idea for writing a sentence read by 3, 4, and 16 and data of an explanatory sentence showing a writing method for writing a sentence, and an input unit 5 for inputting a sentence.
And a text is created by the input means 5 on the basis of the text that is displayed on the display means 12 and indicates the idea for creating the text and the text that describes how to write the text. is there.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 21, the text creating apparatus of the present invention stores the explanatory text indicating the know-how for creating the text, and the storage means 6, 17 for creating the text. Reading means 3, 4, 16 for reading the data of the explanatory text showing the know-how of
4 and 16, the display means 12 for displaying the data of the explanatory text showing the know-how for creating the sentence and the input means 5 for inputting the sentence, and when the sentence is created by the input means 5 The explanation text displayed on the display means 12 showing the know-how for creating the text can be referred to.

[0027]

According to the present invention described above, a sentence is created by the input means 5 based on the explanatory text displayed on the display means 12 and showing the idea for creating the text and the writing text for creating the text. By doing so, even a person who cannot write a sentence can create a high-quality sentence so that the reader can grasp the intention of the writer made into the sentence.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, the operation of the text creating apparatus based on the program stored in the program ROM 7 described in FIG. 1 and the program recorded in the disk 17 will be described.

First, when the power supply circuit 1 turns on the main body 2 of the text production apparatus, the system program is read from the program ROM 7. Then, along with items such as document creation on the display surface of the display unit 12 shown in FIG.
A disk application, that is, an item of outline creation by a program of the disk 17 is displayed.

The user uses the up and down cursor keys (not shown) of the keyboard 5 to select a desired item from the above items on the display surface, and then "YES" of the keyboard 5 is selected. The selected item is determined by the key (not shown).

Incidentally, hereinafter, when a plurality of items are displayed on the display surface of the display unit 12, the user selects a desired item by using the up, down, left, right cursor keys of the keyboard 5, and the selected item is selected. , "YES" key is pressed to determine the selected item, and the selected item is executed in the text creating device.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2, first, at step 100, it is judged whether or not the disk 17 is set in the disk driver 16, and if "YES", the routine proceeds to step 200.

In step 200, it is determined whether or not the disc application is selected. If "YES", the process proceeds to step 300, and if "NO", the process proceeds to step 400.

At step 300, the program data and the like of the disk 17 are loaded. That is, under the control of the CPU 3, the disk driver 16 reads the program data and the like recorded on the disk 17, and stores the read program data and the like in the work RAM 6 via the bus 4. After that, the process proceeds to step 500 as a disc program routine.

At step 400, for example, the processing corresponding to the selected item other than the disk application among the above-mentioned display items is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step 100 again.

After the program data and the like of the disk 17 are loaded, the process proceeds to step 500 as a disk program routine. The details of step 500, that is, the disk program routine, is as shown in FIG. ..

The disk program routine will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

First, in step 510 of FIG. 3, the disk driver 16 is controlled to read main menu information from the outline dictionary file in the disk 17, for example. If the program data of the disk 17 is loaded into the work RAM 6, the work RAM
The main menu information is read from 6. Then, the process proceeds to step 520.

This outline dictionary file is composed of a header block, a structure block and a data block.

The header block is composed of a file header area, a display area holding various display items to be displayed on the display surface, and a data header area. The data header area also holds pointers for each area of the structure block and data block.

The structure block includes a directory information area holding pointers of parent directories and child directories for all directories of each hierarchy, a pointer of directory information area for all directories and files other than the root directory, or a pointer of data block. The file information area and the character string information area that holds character information.

The data block handles a plurality of outline group files.

After reading the main menu information from the outline dictionary file, the read main menu information is displayed on the display surface of the display unit 12 in step 520. And step 53
Move to 0.

That is, the main menu display data read by the disk driver 16 is written in the video RAM 13 by the system controller 14 and is displayed on the display surface of the display section 12 by the control of the system controller 14 and the CPU 3.

Here, the user can display the above-mentioned display images P1 to P1.
By pressing a key of the keyboard 5 corresponding to P3, a desired item can be selected and determined from the items of the main menu image m.

In step 530, it is determined whether or not the "YES" key has been pressed. If "YES", the process proceeds to step 540, and if "NO", the process proceeds to step 550.

That is, after the user selects each item of the main menu image m by moving the bar cursor bc on the display surface of the display unit 12 with the cursor keys of the keyboard 5 as described above, "YES". Press the key.

Then, it is determined whether or not the selected item has been decided. At the time of this selection, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, an arbitrary item of the main menu image m selected by moving the bar cursor bc by the cursor key is displayed in reverse by the bar cursor bc.

At step 540, a submenu is displayed. That is, the sub-menu information is read from the outline dictionary file described above, and the read sub-menu information is displayed on the display surface of the display unit 12. Then, the process proceeds to step 570.

That is, the sub-menu display data read by the disk driver 16 is written in the video RAM 13 by the system controller 14, and
Displayed on the display surface of the display unit 12 under the control of the system controller 14 and the CPU 3.

FIG. 7 shows how the submenu image is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 7, for example, the sub-menu image sm is displayed so as to overlap the main menu image m.

In step 550, it is determined whether or not the "NO" key has been pressed, and if "YES", step 5
If it is “NO”, the process proceeds to step 530 again.

At step 560, the ending process, that is, various processes for ending the process by the program recorded on the disk 17 are performed. Then, the disk program is exited, and the processing by the program stored in the program ROM 7 shown in FIG. 2 is executed.

In step 570, the example corresponding to the item with the bar cursor bc is displayed in the example window.
Then, the process proceeds to step 580.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the bar cursor b
A display image of a description corresponding to the item selected by c, that is, a description of what the selected item is, that is, a window is also displayed.

In this example, this window is, for example, a so-called balloon type window smc like a cartoon, which is very familiar to Japanese people as shown in this figure.

That is, in the same sense as a method of enclosing a speaking word or the like of a person drawn in a cartoon with a frame having a convex portion, an example of a selection item in the sentence creating apparatus of this example is used in such a balloon. By using the type window smc, it is possible to distinguish between the current main image for the user and a sub-image such as this balloon type window.

As is apparent from FIG. 7, such items of the sub-menu image sm are short because they are easy to understand and cannot be displayed in detail due to the limitation of the character string that can be displayed in this display area. If the length is shortened, the meaning of the item becomes difficult to understand for the user. Therefore, the user operates the cursor key to move the bar cursor bc on the image to select the item, and at the same time, the explanation character corresponding to the selected item is displayed. Is displayed in the balloon type window smc as a sub-displayed item so that the user can immediately understand the meaning of the item selected by the user.

The frame portion including the convex portion of such a balloon window smc is calculated in the calculation routine in the program read from the disk 17, and this is written in the video RAM 13 together with the data of the explanatory text inside the frame. Made by

Incidentally, the convex portion of the balloon type window shown in FIG. 7 is calculated on the program so that the convex portion becomes a position corresponding to the position of each selected item. By pressing the
May not be displayed on the display surface of.

Further, for example, a graphic is displayed in this window, various variations are made to the shape of this window, a convex portion is made into an arrow, and a human image is displayed at the position of the convex portion. It may be done.

In step 580, it is determined whether or not the "YES" key is pressed. If "YES", the process proceeds to step 590, and if "NO", the process proceeds to step 600.

That is, the selected item in the sub-menu image sm is determined here.

At step 590, the group data including the selected sentence example and the explanation data are read from the outline dictionary file of the disk 17 or the work RAM 6. Then, the process proceeds to step 610.

In step 600, it is determined whether or not the "NO" key has been pressed. If "YES", the process proceeds to step 520 again, and if "NO", the process returns to step 58.
Move to 0.

At step 610, the outline of the sentence example is displayed according to the display mode. Then, the process proceeds to step 700, that is, the subroutine S1 (described later with reference to FIG. 4).

In step 610, as shown in FIG. 5A, for example, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 16, a display mode based on a display mode described later, that is, a heading display mode image s.
m1, outline display mode image sm2, detailed content display mode image sm3 or table of contents layout mode image s
The outline is displayed by m4.

Step 700, that is, subroutine S1
If it exits, the process proceeds to step 620, and in this step 620, it is determined whether or not the “change” key of the keyboard 5 is pressed, and if “YES”, step 630
And if “NO”, proceed to step 640.

In step 620, it is determined whether or not the "change" key (not shown) of the keyboard 5 or the display mode is selected. If "YES", the process proceeds to step 630 and "NO". If so, the process proceeds to step 640.

At step 630, the above-mentioned display mode changing process is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step 610 again.

In step 640, it is determined whether or not the "outline change" key (not shown) of the keyboard 5 is pressed. If "YES", the process proceeds to step 650, and if "NO", the step is performed. Move to 660.

At step 650, the outline changing process described above is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step 590 again.

Here, in order to explain the change of the outline, first, the group file of the outline dictionary file necessary for this explanation will be explained.

As described above with reference to FIG. 5D, in the present example, a plurality of items for the same content or subject matter, such as the introduction of the new product must be written after creating the plan of the new product. If you need to create a sentence in the text format, you can sort the outline data of the created text so that you do not have to create a new text in the different format for the same content or subject matter. To do so.

Therefore, the created outline is made into a file in the above-mentioned outline dictionary file in the form of a group file as shown in FIGS.

This group file manages the outline of documents that can be mutually changed by rearranging them in units of groups.

For example, the above-mentioned main menu image m
(See FIG. 6), the "Paper" item is selected, and the "Experiment / Survey / Observation" item is selected on the sub-menu image sm (See FIG. 7). The image sm1 as shown in FIG. Is displayed on the display surface of the display unit 12, and as described herein with reference to FIG. 5D, “Edit 1” of the keyboard 5 is displayed.
By pressing the key and selecting "outline memo", an outline is created on the outline input image sc1 displayed thereby, and the created outline is stored in the work RAM 6 or the disk 17 as described in FIG. 5B. And

At this time, as shown in FIG. 19 as an example, the content information of each item forming this outline and each item forming this outline (however, "Experiment
Items that can be used only in the outline of the paper by “survey / observation” are excluded), and the outline item numbers are attached to each item, and the explanation numbers such as examples and points corresponding to the above items are also attached to the work RAM.
6 or stored on disk 17.

As described above with reference to FIG. 5D, when one file is completed, for example, when a sentence about the same object or the same content is created, "edit 1" of the keyboard 5 is performed. Key is pressed to display the item selection image sc on the display surface of the display unit 12, and "outline change" is displayed on the item selection image sc.
Item, and the changed document selection image sc3 is displayed on the display unit 12
It may be displayed on the display surface of.

At this time, the above-mentioned changed document selection image sc3
When the outline sentence example is selected, not only the outline sentence example selected in the program but also the group file including the sentence example is transferred from the outline dictionary to the program work area.

Then, the outline item numbers of the currently created sentence are rearranged according to the outline item numbers of the outline sentence examples of the selected sentence examples, and the headline items are also replaced with the items of the new outline sentence examples.

That is, for example, this changed document selection image sc
Although not shown in FIG. 3, a changeable outline including the current outline is shown. In the case of the example in FIG. 19, “survey report” shown in FIG. 18, “article / impression” shown in FIG. The "Proposal" shown in 21 can be selected (however, the item "By experiment / survey / observation" is included).

That is, "by paper / experiment / survey / observation"
When the file of “report investigation report / report of experiment / survey / observation” is made based on the file of FIG. 19 showing the file state of FIG. 19, the outline item numbers of the file of FIG. 19 are “1” and “2”. As shown in FIG. 18, there is no change in the order of the items "" and "10", but the outline item numbers are "3", "4", "5", "6", "7",
As for the items "8" and "9", the item "4" is the third item, the item "5" is the sixth item, and the item "6" is "6" as shown in FIG.
The 7th item is rearranged, the 7th item is 8th, the 8th item is 9th, and the 9th item is 4th.

Similarly, when the file is "statement based on article / impression / experiment / survey / observation" based on the file in FIG. 19 showing the state of the file "paper / experiment / survey / observation" Shows that the outline item numbers of the file in FIG. 19 are "1", "2", "3", "4",
The items "5", "6", and "9" are deleted as shown in FIG. 20, and the outline item numbers are "7",
As for the items "8" and "10", the item "7" is the fourth item, the item "8" is the fifth item, and the item "1" is "1" as shown in FIG.
The item of "0" is rearranged to the seventh.

In addition, the “paper / experiment / survey.
If you rearrange the "by observation" files to create a "statements based on an editorial / impression / experiment / survey / observation" file, outline item numbers "11" and "1"
Items "2", "13", and "14" are newly required.

Similarly, when the file of “Proposal / Propose based on experiment / survey / observation” is made based on the file of FIG. 19 showing the file state of “thesis / experiment / survey / observation” , The outline item numbers of the file in FIG. 19 are "1", "2", "3", "4", "5",
The items "6" and "9" are deleted as shown in FIG. 21, and the outline item numbers are "7", "8", and "1".
As shown in FIG. 20, the items of "0" are rearranged into the sixth item of "7", the seventh item of "8", and the ninth item of "10".

In addition, once created, the "paper / experiment / research /
If you rearrange the "by observation" files to create a "suggest based on proposal / experiment / survey / observation" file, outline item numbers "11", "12",
Items "13" and "14" are newly required.

As described above, in the present example, by rearranging each item of the outline for a certain form of the sentence once created, it is possible to create all or part of the outline for another form of the sentence. ing.

Therefore, in the case where a sentence has to be created in a plurality of sentence formats for the same content or a target item, for example, after the draft of the new product has been drafted, the introduction sentence of the new product must also be written. In addition, by automatically rearranging the data as the outline of the created sentence, it is not necessary to newly create a sentence of a different format for the same content or subject matter.

After the outline changing process as described above is performed in step 650, step 590 is executed again.
Move to.

If "NO" is determined in the step 640, the process proceeds to a step 660, and this step 66
At 0, the "end" key on the keyboard 5 (not shown)
Is pressed, the process proceeds to step 560 if "YES", and step 670 if "NO".
Move to.

In step 670, it is determined whether or not the "stop" key is pressed. If "YES", the process proceeds to step 510 again, and if "NO", the process proceeds to step 680.

In step 680, it is determined whether or not another key is pressed, and if "YES", step 690
If it is “NO”, the process proceeds to the subroutine S1, that is, step 700 again.

At step 690, processing corresponding to another key is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step 700 again.

Next, the above-mentioned step 700, that is, the subroutine S1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, at step 710, a branching process is performed for each case of the selection function. Then, the process proceeds to step 720.

At step 720, the "shift" key and the "YES" key are pressed at the same time, or FIG.
In the item selection image sc displayed by pressing the "Edit 1" key of the keyboard 5 described in Section 1, it is determined whether or not the "Change heading" item is selected, and "YE
If “S”, the process proceeds to step 730, and if “NO”, the process proceeds to step 740.

At step 730, the headline changing process described in FIG. 5 is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step 710 again.

At step 740, it is judged whether or not "outline memo" is selected on the item selection image sc displayed by pressing the "edit 1" key of the keyboard 5 described in FIG. 5D, and "YES". If “NO”, the process proceeds to step 750. If “NO”, step 7
Move to 60.

At step 750, the outline editing process described with reference to FIG. 5D is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step 710 again.

At step 760, it is judged whether or not the item of "document conversion" is selected on the item selection image sa displayed by pressing the "disk" key of the keyboard 5 described in FIG. 5B, and "YES". If so, the process proceeds to step 770, and if “NO”, step 780.
Move to.

In step 770, the created outline is stored in the disk 17 as a document, as described with reference to FIG. 5B. Then, the process proceeds to step 710 again.

In step 780, "text expression know-how" is displayed on the item selection image sb displayed by pressing the "extension" key of the keyboard 5 described in FIG. 5C.
It is determined whether or not the item is selected. If "YES", the process proceeds to step 790, and if "NO", the process proceeds to step 800.

At step 790, the know-how data is displayed on the display surface of the display unit 12, as described with reference to FIG. 5C. Then, the process proceeds to step 710 again.

In step 800, it is determined whether or not the cursor key of the keyboard 5 is pressed. If "YES", the process proceeds to step 810, and if "NO", this subroutine S1 is exited, and the flowchart of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step 620.

At step 810, scroll processing is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step 710 again.

As described above, in this example, as described in FIG. 5C, when the outline is input, as shown in FIG.
Display section 1 shows the explanation as "Point of idea" as shown in
2 or, for example, in the detailed content display mode, the explanatory note of “point of writing” or the explanatory note of “point of idea” corresponding to the item on the detailed content display mode image sm3 (see FIG. 15). The expression technique explanation display window sb3 in which the example point display window sb1 and the explanation of the text expression know-how are displayed when the "extension" key of the keyboard 5 is pressed.
Is displayed, for example, in the headline display mode, an explanatory note of “point of writing” or an explanatory note of “point of idea” corresponding to the item is displayed on the headline display mode image sm1 (see FIG. 12). As a result, it is possible to create high-quality sentences that allow readers to grasp the intention of the writer, even if they cannot write the sentences. Sometimes, even if you don't read a book about how to write the sentence or points to note, you can know it in real time while writing the sentence, and even a person who can not write a sentence immediately creates a high-quality sentence can do.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and it goes without saying that various other configurations can be adopted without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0166]

According to the present invention described above, a sentence is created by the input means based on the explanatory text showing the idea for creating the text and the explanatory text showing how to write the text displayed on the display means. Therefore, there is an advantage that even a person who cannot write a sentence can create a high-quality sentence so that the reader can grasp the intention of the written writer.

Further, according to the present invention described above, when the text is created by the input means, the explanatory text showing the know-how for text creation displayed on the display means can be referred to. When you create a text, you can know it in real time as you create it without reading a book about how to write the text or points to note, etc. There are benefits to being able to create sentences.
