Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing device,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a document processing device with a partial call function that can call partial data of a specific document from a plurality of documents registered in a storage medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of document processing apparatus, a document can be partially registered by registering a certain area within the document by specifying a range, and the entire document can be registered by not specifying the range. You can register all at once. On the other hand, when calling a document, by specifying the document name,
You can call the entire specified document.

[0003]

However, in the conventional document processing apparatus, even if a user wants to call a part of a registered document and synthesize it while inputting the document,
Since the document to be called can be called only as the entire document, there is a problem that the documents cannot be easily combined. That is, when the above-mentioned composition is performed using the conventional document processing apparatus, once the registered document is called, the part to be composited is further designated and the part is newly registered, and further, the part is included in the document being input. A complicated operation of calling and importing the registered document was necessary.

Even if the screen division (multi-window) function is used, the document to be captured must still be called once for the entire document, and the portion to be combined must be designated and copied into the document being input. Therefore, it takes time to edit the document, and the burden on the operator cannot be eliminated.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and is a document with a partial call function capable of calling a part of a document which has already been input by a simple operation and synthesizing it with a document being referred to or being input. A processing device is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The present invention is not limited to this. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a Japanese word processor which is an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 10 is a main body of the apparatus, which includes a CPU 11, a kana-kanji conversion processing unit 12,
It is mainly composed of a partial call processing unit 13, a Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary unit 14, and an output control unit 15, which are interconnected by a bus line 16. Also, CPU1
1, a keyboard 17 as an input unit and a page designating unit, and a document data memory 18 as a document storage unit are connected to the outside, and an LCD 19 and a printer 20 as an output unit are connected via an output control unit 15. ing.

In such a configuration, the keyboard 17 can be used to specify a specific document among the already registered documents, and at least one or more pages can be specified for the specified document. The partial call processing unit 13 that cooperates with the CPU 11 functions as a registration unit, a page information reading unit, and a partial reading unit, and when a document including one or more pages input from the keyboard 17 is registered in the document data memory 18. , The top data storage position information of each page and the data amount (page size) information of each page are added as page information. Further, the page information is read from the document data memory 18 for the specified page of the specified document, and only the specified page of the specified document is read from the document data memory 18 according to the read page information. ..

The kana-character string input from the keyboard 17 is coded and given to the CPU 11, and the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 14 is referred to so that the kana-kanji mixed sentence is converted into a kana-kanji mixed sentence. Since it does not form the characteristic part of the present invention, its description is omitted.

FIG. 3 shows the structure of the text data memory 18. The text data memory 18 has the header information 181 (fixed size) at the top, and then the characters,
Stores actual data such as ruled lines, figures / graphs, and images.

The header information 181 includes document format information, document page number, margin, total size information, and each data.
The storage position information of the beginning of (characters, ruled lines, figures, graphs, images) and the size information of each data are stored. The storage position information at the beginning is represented by the number of bytes from the rear of the header information 181.

Further, each data in the actual data 182 to 185 has header information for each data at a fixed size at the head thereof. For example, for character data, character header information is added as shown in FIG. Has been done. The character header information is composed of head position information for each page and size information for each page, and the number of pages in the header information 181 is continuously stored in the header information for each data. Header information is also added to other data (ruled lines, figures / graphs, images) in the same way. In addition,
The head position information for each page is represented by the number of bytes after the header information for each data.

The partial call processing of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS.
It is assumed that the input mode is the document creation mode. First, by pressing the call key of the keyboard 17 (step 40), the document name to be called from the already registered documents is displayed on the list screen (step 41), and the cursor is moved to the desired document name. , Specify the document to be called (step 42).

Now, the input key is awaited (step 4
3) When you press the "part" of the function key, a window for specifying how many pages up to how many pages of the specified document will be opened will be opened, and you can specify the page by entering the page number. (Step 44). In this state, if the page key to be referred to is specified by pressing the "Page reference" function key (steps 45 → 46), the first few lines of the specified page are displayed on the LCD 19 (step 4).
7) By doing so, it is possible to confirm the content of the page to be specified.

Next, when the release key is pressed (step 48),
Returning to step 45, the input key is waited again. If the execute key is pressed here, only the document data corresponding to the page designated in step 44 is called from the document data memory 18, and the contents of the called document data are displayed on the screen during input (step 50).

As a result, the document being input and the partial document called by designating in page units can be combined (step 51). When the execute key is pressed in step 43, the entire specified document is called as in the conventional process (step 52).

The page designation method may be a method of inputting all the page numbers to be designated, or a method of designating in a range, and a page after or before is specified based on a specific page number. A method of designating may be used.

The process shown in step 49 will be described below with reference to a specific example. In partial call processing by page designation, for example, 2 to 3 pages of a document having 10 pages
When partially calling a page, as shown in FIG.
The header information 181 is read (step 490) and it is determined whether there is character data. That is, it is determined whether or not the size of the character data in the header information is 0 (step
491).

If the determination result is YES, then the character header information is read and the head position information and size of pages 2 to 3 are checked (step 493). That is, if the size information held for each page is 0, it means that there is no data belonging to that page. Next, the actual character data on pages 2 and 3 are read out and set in the buffer (step 49).
Four).

Next, ruled line data, graphic / graph data,
The same process as the partial call process of the character data is executed in the order of the image data. As a result, it is possible to selectively call only the data of the page-designated portion of the document.

[0022]

According to the present invention, when a part of a document that has already been registered is desired to be synthesized while inputting a document, only the part of the document for which the page is designated is called by a simple operation, and Since they can be combined, the time spent for editing work can be shortened and the burden on the operator can be reduced.
