JPH05120280A - Automatic variation system for font size - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically vary the size of a font. CONSTITUTION:One or plural characters which are inputted on a keyboard 1 are recognized by an input recognition part 2 and the number of the input characters is sent to a font size calculation part 3. The font size calculation part 3 adds this number of characters to the number of characters on a display which is obtained from an inputted character quantity storage part 4 to calculate the number of characters to newly be displayed. Then the font size calculation part 3 obtains a line size from a line size storage part 5 and calculates the maximum font size which can be put on the line from the line size and the calculated number of characters. Further, a character display part 6 displays characters on the display 7 to the font size calculated by the font size calculation part 3. Then the font size calculation part 3 registers the calculated number of characters as the number of inputted characters in the inputted character quantity storage part 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a text creating system, and more particularly to a font size changing method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional font size changing method is shown in FIG.
As shown in the procedure flow chart of FIG. 1, the user first inputs characters, and then, if the input on that line is completed, the work is ended. If there is still input on that line and the characters fill up the line, the target character or character string and font size are selected, and the font size is changed (reduced size). ..

[0003]

In this conventional font size changing method, when the width of the part to be entered is fixed and the number of characters is arbitrary, such as when entering characters in a table surrounded by ruled lines. Had the problem that the font size had to be determined for that part and part.

An object of the present invention is to automatically change the font size.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a keyboard for inputting characters, an input acquisition unit for recognizing the input of characters input from the keyboard, and a size of one line. A row size storage unit that stores
Calculates the current number of characters from the input character count storage unit that stores the number of characters that have already been input, the input acquisition unit and the already input character count storage unit, and acquires the line size from the line size storage unit. A font size calculation unit that calculates the maximum font size (character size) that can fit in the line based on the number of characters and line size, and a character display unit that displays characters in the font size obtained from the font size calculation unit Is.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the solid arrow indicates the flow of control, and the broken arrow indicates the flow of data. In FIG. 1, the keyboard 1
The one or more characters input by the input are recognized by the input acquisition unit 2, and the number of input characters is sent to the font size calculation unit 3. The font size calculation unit 3 adds up the number of characters and the number of already displayed characters obtained from the already-input character number storage unit 4 to calculate the number of newly displayed characters. Next, the font size calculation unit 3 obtains the line size from the line size storage unit 5, and calculates the maximum font size that can be stored in that line from this line size and the calculated number of characters. Further, the character display unit 6 displays characters on the display 7 in the font size calculated by the font size calculation unit 3. After that, the font size calculation unit 3 registers the calculated number of characters in the already-input-character number storage unit 4 as the number of already-input characters.

FIG. 2 is a procedure flow chart of an embodiment of the present invention. First, the user inputs characters. Then, if you're done typing on that line, you're done. If there is still input on that line, you can only enter characters continuously, and you do not have to worry about changing the font size.

[0009]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the width of the portion to be written is fixed and the number of characters is arbitrary, such as writing characters in a table surrounded by ruled lines. If it is, it is possible to input without worrying about the font size, and it is possible to obtain the effect of improving the efficiency of sentence creation.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A keyboard for inputting characters, an input acquisition unit for recognizing the input of characters input from the keyboard, a line size storage unit for storing the size of one line, and an input already made. Calculates the current number of characters from the input character count storage unit that stores the number of characters, the input acquisition unit and the input character count storage unit, and acquires the line size from the line size storage unit. A font characterized by having a font size calculation unit that calculates the maximum font size (character size) that can fit in the line and a character display unit that displays characters in the font size obtained from the font size calculation unit Automatic size change method.
