Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document preparation device having a character modification function such as underlining and halftone dot meshing for character or character string data input by a key.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when creating document data in a document creation device, "kana character" data input by a key is converted into "kanji" data by kana / kanji conversion.

When performing this kana / kanji conversion, a plurality of "kanji" data corresponding to the reading of "kana characters" are sequentially read from the dictionary memory as homophone word candidates by operating the "next candidate" key. By operating the "Execute" key when the "Kanji" data desired by the user is read,
The input character is fixed to the read "Kanji" data.

At this time, the homophone display state before the above kana / kanji conversion confirmation is shown with an upper line attached to the homophone candidate kanji, and the upper line is erased at the time of confirmation.

On the other hand, the document creating apparatus is generally equipped with a character modifying function for adding an underline or a shade to the input character or character string data.

Here, in the conventional document creating apparatus (for example, Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 63-67215), when a new character or character string data is inserted into the character string data with the same character modification, the character is inserted into the inserted character. The same character modification as that applied to the data before and after it is also applied.

In this case, the inserted character is not displayed as a homophone word candidate but is determined by the first candidate Chinese character read from the dictionary memory together with the character input.

FIG. 5 shows a conventional insertion processing state for a modified character string. FIG. 5A shows the state before insertion and FIG.
Indicates the data state after insertion.

That is, when "Sakusei" and "Kana character" are input between "Document" and "Device" of the character string data "Document device" which is character-modified by underline, the data before and after that is applied. Although the same character modification as the character modification (underline) is also applied to the inserted character, the inserted character is automatically selected and confirmed by the first candidate kanji "creation" read from the dictionary memory by kana / kanji conversion. It

In this case, the order of homonym candidates for kana reading "Sakusei" is "manufacture" → "create" → "sakusei" →
"Succeed".

[0011]

However, as described above, when a new character is inserted into the character string data that has been character-modified, the inserted character is the first candidate Chinese character in the homophone word candidate. If "Create" is confirmed, the character "Create" desired by the user may not be inserted. Therefore, even if the character is inserted into the character string data with the same character modification, the same character modification is applied to the inserted character. It is desirable that the inserted character is input in a state where it can be selected as a homophone as well as being multiplied.

That is, conventionally, when a new character is inserted into character string data that has been character-modified, desired character data (in this case, "creation") is previously stored in another area.
Select and confirm by kanji conversion and insert it between the above "document" and "device" by using the move function or copy function, or the character string data "document device" to be inserted Delete (delete) the existing character modification (underline), insert the desired reading "Sakusei", confirm the kana / kanji conversion to the desired character "creation", and then apply the above character modification (underline) again. Operations such as fixing (redrawing) are performed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems,
An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device that allows input characters to be inserted in the same sound selection state when a new character is inserted into character string data with the same character modification.

[0014]

That is, the document creating apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a document data storage means for storing document data in which each character code and its control code are paired, and the document data storage means. Insertion instruction means for instructing an insertion position for arbitrary stored character string data, insertion character input means for inputting a new character at the insertion position instructed by the insertion instruction means, and the insertion instruction means Character modification determining means for determining whether or not the same character modification is applied to the character data before and after the insertion position based on the document data control code corresponding to before and after the specified insertion position, and this character modification determination When it is determined by the means that the same character decoration is applied to the character data before and after the insertion position, the character decoration that stores and retains the character decoration information Holding means and homophone input character modification adding means for inputting an insertion character by the insertion character input means in a homophone selected state and adding the character modification stored and held by the character modification holding means to the insertion character. It is configured by.

[0015]

In other words, when inserting new character data into a certain character string data of document data, the fact that the same character decoration is set before and after the insertion position indicated by the cursor is regarded as the insertion target. When it is determined based on the control code corresponding to the character string data, the character modification information is stored and retained, and the Kanji data obtained by the character input accompanying the insertion instruction is inserted and displayed in the same-sound selection state. Even if a new character is inserted into the character string data to which the same character modification is applied by adding the previously stored character modification to the inserted character,
It is possible to add the same character modification to the inserted character and input with the same sound selection state.

Next, the inserting operation of the document creating apparatus having the above configuration will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing an inserting process in the document creating apparatus.

FIG. 3 shows a homophone selection state of an inserted character according to the insertion processing of the document creation apparatus. FIG. 3A shows a selection state of the first candidate Chinese character, and FIG. 2 Indicates the selected state of candidate kanji.

Here, the underbar indicates "underline" by character modification, and the upper bar indicates that the input character corresponding to the area is in the state where the same sound can be selected.

For example, to insert a new "creation" between the "document" and the "device" of the "document device" with the character modification by the "underline" shown in FIG. 5 (A). First,
The "cursor" key of the keyboard 16 is operated to move the cursor on the display 18 to the "device" position of the "document device" to specify the insertion position (step S).
1).

When the "insert" key is operated, the RO
The insertion processing program stored in advance in the character insertion program area 14 of M5 is activated (step S2).

When a character key is used to input "Sakusei" and the "Kana / Kanji conversion" key is operated to input characters, first, the CPU 3 causes the same character before and after the insertion position designated by the cursor. Whether or not the modification is set is determined based on the control code of the corresponding portion stored in the document buffer 6 (steps S3 and S).
4).

In this case, since the same character modification "underline" is applied to the character data "document" and "device" before and after the insertion position, it is determined to be "Y" in step S4, and the character is determined. Modification information "underline" is RAM
It is stored and held in a character decoration storage area (not shown) in FIG. 4 (step S5).

Then, the first candidate Chinese character “manufacturing” obtained by the character input and its Kana / Kanji conversion in step S3 is read from the dictionary area 11 in the ROM 5,
As shown in FIG. 3 (A), the same-sound candidate Chinese character is inserted and displayed at the insertion position designated by the cursor, and the inserted same-song candidate Chinese character “preparation” includes the above step S5.
In step S6, the same character decoration "underline" as the character decoration set before and after the insertion is applied based on the character decoration information held in the RAM 4 (step S6).

In this way, the first candidate Chinese character "manufacturing" is inserted in a state where the same sound can be selected, and the same character modification as the character modification set in advance is also applied to the inserted character. When the "next candidate" key is operated, the RO
The second homophone "Sakusei" from the dictionary area 11 in M5
The candidate kanji "creation" is read (steps S7, S
8).

At this time, the CPU 3 confirms whether or not the character decoration information is held in the character decoration storage area (not shown) in the RAM 4, that is, whether or not the same character decoration is applied before and after the insertion position. In this case, since the character decoration information is held in step S5, the second candidate Chinese character "creation" read in step S8 is the first candidate as shown in FIG. 3 (B).
The candidate character is changed to the candidate kanji "manufacturing" and displayed, and the same character modification "underline" is applied again (step S9).
→ S6).

In this way, the second candidate Chinese character "creation" is inserted in a state in which the same sound can be selected, and the same character modification as the character modification preset before and after that character is also applied to the inserted character, When the "execute" key is operated, the homophone candidate Chinese character "creation" is confirmed and inserted from the work buffer 7 into the corresponding document data area in the document buffer 6 and stored (step S10).

In this case, the upper line for the insertion character "creation" is deleted.

On the other hand, in step S4, "N",
That is, for example, when the character modification is applied only to one of the insertion position front part or the insertion position of the character string data to be inserted, or when the content of the character modification before and after the insertion position is different, The candidate Chinese character obtained by the character input process of S3 is inserted and displayed in the normal homophone selection state without any character modification at the insertion instruction position in step S1 (step S4 → S1).
1).

After that, when the "next candidate" key is operated,
The next candidate Chinese character is read from the dictionary area 11 in the ROM 5 and is replaced and input at the insertion instruction position (steps S7 to S9 → S11).

Then, when the "execute" key is operated in the state of selecting and displaying the same character of the candidate character at the character string data insertion designated position in step S11, the same character candidate Chinese character is confirmed and the work buffer 7 to the document buffer 6 are confirmed. It is inserted and stored in the corresponding document data area (step S10).

Therefore, according to the document creating apparatus having the above-mentioned configuration, when inserting new character data into the character string data of the document data stored in the document buffer 6, the insertion designated by the cursor of the keyboard 16 is performed. When it is determined that the same character decoration is set before and after the position based on the control code corresponding to the character string data to be inserted, the character decoration information is stored and held in the RAM 4, Dictionary area 1 by inputting characters in response to insertion instructions
Since the kanji data obtained from No. 1 is inserted and displayed in the same-sound selection state, and the character modification stored and held in advance is added to the inserted character, a character string with the same character modification is applied. Even when a new character is inserted into the data, the same character modification can be added to the inserted character, and the input can be performed with the same sound selected, and the desired kana / kanji conversion character can be easily inserted. You can

In the above embodiment, when the character of the first candidate kanji "manufacturing" is inserted, only the inserted character is input in the homophone selection state. For example, as shown in FIG. , If there is a homophone corresponding to the range "document preparation device" with the same character modification, set the entire character string to the homophone selection state as well as the new insertion character "production". Good.

Further, in the above embodiment, when a new character is inserted into the character string data that has been character-modified in advance, the inserted character is brought into the same-sound selection state, and the same character as the character modification before and after the insertion position is added. Although it is configured to be modified, it is possible to select homophones even in character string data that is character modified.
With this application, even when character modification is applied to character string data in the same-sound selection state, it is possible to add character modification in the same-sound selection state.
