Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creating apparatus having a ruby function for adding ruby to Chinese characters.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some document creation devices such as Japanese word processors have a ruby function for adding ruby to Kanji characters. The ruby function is a function of adding a character string input as ruby to a kanji character obtained by the kana-kanji conversion process.

Normally, a character that is ¼ the size of a Kanji character is output as a ruby character string. Therefore, it is possible to add two ruby character strings to one kanji character.
However, in the individual ruby method that adds a ruby character string to each Kanji character unit, when ruby is added to a kanji character string consisting of multiple kanji characters, the position balance of the ruby character string is not appropriate. There is.

Further, when the character magnification of the Kanji character is changed and enlarged from the standard size, the character size of the ruby character string is usually enlarged according to the character magnification. However, even if the Kanji character is enlarged, it may be better to set the character size of the ruby character string to the standard size in view of the balance of the entire document.

[0005]

In the conventional individual ruby method, the position of the added ruby character string may not be properly balanced with respect to the kanji character string consisting of a plurality of characters. For such Kanji character strings,
A group ruby method in which a ruby character string is added to the entire kanji character string is desirable.

In addition, the character size of the ruby character string is usually 1/4 the size of the Kanji character. Along with this, when the character size of the ruby character string is enlarged according to the character magnification of the kanji character, the balance of the entire document may not be good.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to add a ruby character string by a group ruby method in the case of a kanji character string consisting of a plurality of characters in a document creation device having a ruby function. Another object of the present invention is to maintain the balance of the entire document by making the character size of the ruby character string constant even when the character magnification of the Kanji character changes.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a document creating apparatus having a ruby function for adding ruby to Chinese characters,
The first control means for calculating the number of characters of the ruby character string input by the input means and determining the range of the kanji character string corresponding to the ruby character string based on this number of characters, the kanji character based on the range of the kanji character string Second control means for adjusting the spacing between columns in accordance with the ruby character string and kanji characters with ruby added with the ruby character string input by the input means to the kanji character string at the interval determined by the second control means It is an apparatus provided with an output means for outputting a character string.

[0009]

In the present invention, the ruby character string is added to the plural kanji character strings by the group ruby method. When the ruby character string is input, the number of characters of the ruby character string is calculated, and the range of the kanji character string corresponding to the ruby character string is determined based on this number of characters. Based on the range of this Kanji string,
Kanji character string spacing is adjusted according to the ruby character string. The kanji character string with ruby added with the input ruby character string is output to the kanji character string at the determined interval.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main part of the document creating apparatus according to the embodiment. The apparatus includes a control unit 1 that controls the entire apparatus, executes document creation processing, edit processing, and the like.
A keyboard 2, an input control unit 3, a display unit 4, a display control unit 5, a printer 6 and a print control unit 7 are provided.

The keyboard 2 is provided with a ruby function key 2a, a cursor key 2b and the like in addition to various character keys.
The input control unit 3 converts various key input signals input from the keyboard 2 into a key code and outputs the key code to the control unit 1.
The display unit 4 is controlled by the display control unit 5 to display the created document data. The printer 6 is controlled by the print controller 7 to print the created document data.

Further, the present apparatus is provided with a ruby character string memory 8,
A kanji character string memory 9 and a format data memory 10 are provided. The ruby character string memory 8 is a memory for storing a ruby character string input from the keyboard 2. The kanji character string memory 9 is a memory for storing a kanji character string obtained by converting a character string input from the keyboard 2 into kana-kanji characters. The format data memory 10 is a memory for storing format data such as the number of characters per line, the number of lines, and the character size set when a document is created.

Next, the basic principle of the flock ruby method will be described as a first embodiment.

First, when a character string is input from the keyboard 2 when creating a document, the control unit 1 executes kana-kanji conversion processing for the character string (steps S1 and S2 in FIG. 2).
The control unit 1 stores the Kanji character string obtained by the Kana-Kanji conversion process in the Kanji character string memory 9. Further, the display control unit 5 controls the display of the Kanji character string stored in the Kanji character string memory 9 on the screen of the display unit 4 (step S
3).

Here, the ruby function key 2a of the keyboard 2
When is operated (YES in step S4), it is instructed to add the ruby character string to the Kanji character string displayed on the screen of the display unit 4. When the ruby character string is input from the keyboard 2 (step S5), the control unit 1 stores the ruby character string in the ruby character string memory 8.

The control unit 1 detects the number of characters of the ruby character string stored in the ruby character string memory 8 and determines the range (number of digits) of the kanji character string based on this number of characters (step S).
6). That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the ruby character string “Tokyo” is input to the kanji character string “Tokyo”, the kanji character string is changed to the character number “5” of this ruby character string. Determine an appropriate range (number of arranged digits). in this case,
The character size of the ruby character string is 1/4 the size of the Kanji character.

Further, the control unit 1 adjusts the interval between the kanji character strings stored in the kanji character string memory 9 based on the determined appropriate range of the kanji character string (step S7). That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, the ruby character string “Tokyo” has the number of characters “5” for the two character kanji character string “Tokyo”. Only digits are out of the Kanji character string. The control unit 1 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (B) of, a space of half digit R is inserted between the kanji character strings “Tokyo” to adjust the interval of the kanji character strings. As a result, the kanji character string with ruby to which the ruby character string "Tokyo" is added is output within the range of the two-character kanji character string "Tokyo" (step S8). That is, the kanji character string with ruby is printed by the printer 6.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4A, in the case of a kanji character string consisting of two characters "Tokyo" and one character "de", as described above, the kanji character string "Tokyo" is used. Adjusting the space by putting a space between "is not well balanced.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4B, half-digit spaces are inserted before and after the kanji character string "Tokyo" to adjust the interval. As a result, when the ruby character string "Tokyo" is added, the leading "to" is offset by a half digit before the kanji character string "Tokyo", but the ruby character is generally balanced. It becomes the attached Kanji character string.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, a space of half a digit is inserted between "Tokyo" and "de" to adjust the interval. As a result, when the ruby character string "Tokyo" is added, the tail "u" is displaced by half a digit after the kanji character string "Tokyo", but with a well-balanced ruby character. It becomes a kanji character string.

Next, as a second embodiment, a case where the group ruby method as described above and the conventional individual ruby method are used together will be described.

As shown in step S14 of FIG. 5, the ruby function key 2a of the keyboard 2 is operated (step S14).
When the ruby character string for adding the ruby character string to the kanji character string displayed on the screen of the display unit 4 is input, the control unit 1 stores the ruby character string in the ruby character string memory 8 To store. Up to this point (steps S10 to S1
4), which is the same as in the first embodiment.

Here, the control unit 1 controls the ruby character string memory 8
It is detected whether or not there is a space in the ruby character string stored in. When there is no space in the ruby character string (NO in step S15), the ruby character string is added to the kanji character string by the group ruby method as described above (step S16).

That is, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the ruby character string "Sekai" is input to the kanji character string "world", the kanji character string with ruby by the group ruby method is output. To be done.

On the other hand, if there is a space in the ruby character string (YES in step S15), the ruby character string is added to the kanji character string by the conventional individual ruby method (step S17). ). That is, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the ruby character string "Sekai" is input to the kanji character string "world", the kanji character string with ruby by the individual ruby method is output. In the individual ruby method, since the ruby character string is added to each kanji character,
The ruby character “se” is added to the kanji “se”, and the ruby character string “kai” is further added to the kanji “kai”.

With such a combined system, for example, either the group ruby system or the individual ruby system is selected according to an instruction from the keyboard 2, and an arbitrary kanji character string with ruby can be output.

Next, as a third embodiment, in the system using both the group ruby system and the individual ruby system as described above,
A case where the group ruby and the individual ruby are mutually changed will be described.

As shown in step S25 of FIG. 7, after the ruby character string is input (step S24), one of the group ruby method and the individual ruby method is instructed by the keyboard 2, for example. In this case, as in the second embodiment, when inputting a ruby character string, a method of distinguishing between the group ruby method and the individual ruby method may be used depending on whether a space is inserted or not. The processing up to the input of the ruby character string (steps S20 to S24) is the same as that in the second embodiment.

When the individual ruby method is selected by the instruction from the keyboard 2 (YES in step S25), the control section 1 executes a process of adding the ruby character string to the kanji character string by the individual ruby method. , Kanji character string with ruby is printed by the printer 6 (step S26). That is, FIG.
As shown in (A) of, a ruby-added kanji character string in which the ruby character string “nihongo” is added to the kanji character string “Japanese” is output. In the individual ruby method, since the ruby character string is added to each kanji character, the ruby character “hon” is added to the kanji “book”.

On the other hand, when the group ruby method is selected (NO in step S25), the control unit 1 executes the process of adding the ruby character string to the kanji character string by the group ruby method, and the kanji character with ruby is added. The line is printed by the printer 6 (step S27). That is, as shown in FIG. 8B, the kanji character string “Japanese” is replaced with the ruby character string “Japanese”.
The kanji character string with ruby added is output. In the group ruby method, the ruby character string “Japanese” is arranged for the entire kanji character string.

Here, for example, when the keyboard 2 is instructed to change from group ruby to individual ruby (YES in step S28) or vice versa (NO in step S28), the control unit 1 first executes the group ruby. Cancel the kanji character string with ruby output by the ruby method or individual ruby method.
Then, according to the change instruction, the process of adding the ruby character string by the group ruby method or the individual ruby method is re-executed,
A kanji character string with ruby according to the method is output (step S29 or S30).

Furthermore, as a fourth embodiment, a case will be described in which the character size of the ruby character string is changed in the group ruby system as described above.

First, as shown in step S35 of FIG. 9, when a ruby character string for adding a ruby character string is input, the control unit 1 stores the ruby character string in the ruby character string memory 8. Up to this point (steps S31 to S35), the process is the same as in the first embodiment.

Here, normally, when a kanji character string is created, format data such as the number of characters per line, the number of lines, and the character size is set and stored in the format data memory 10. In the format setting, an input screen for format setting is displayed on the screen of the display unit 4 according to an instruction from the keyboard 2. Various format data is set using this input screen.

The control unit 1 executes the process of adding the ruby character string to the kanji character string by the group ruby method. At this time, the character size of the ruby character string is 1/4 the size of the Chinese character. That is, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the character size of the Chinese character “A” is enlarged by changing the character magnification, the character size of the ruby character string “12” is also enlarged by changing the character magnification. To be done. So usually,
When outputting (printing) a kanji character string with ruby, the control unit 1 adds a ruby character string "12" of a basic size (size of 1/4 of kanji character) (YES in step S36, S).
37).

On the other hand, for example, when an instruction to make the character size of the ruby character string constant (standard size) is input from the keyboard 2, the ruby character string "12" of the constant size is displayed regardless of the change of the character magnification of the kanji character. A process of adding is executed (step S38). That is, as shown in FIG. 10B, even when the character size of the Chinese character “A” is enlarged by changing the character magnification, the character size of the ruby character string “12” remains unchanged.

In this way, if the character size of the ruby character string is made constant regardless of the character size of the Kanji character,
In a document including a kanji character string with ruby composed of an enlarged kanji character string, it is possible to eliminate the deterioration of the balance of the entire document. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the character size of the kanji character “A” is enlarged by changing the character magnification, the character size of the ruby character string is not changed, so “12” to “123”. It also has the effect of increasing the number of characters.

[0039]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, in a document creating apparatus having a ruby function, in the case of a kanji character string consisting of a plurality of characters, the ruby character string is added by the group ruby method. To make it possible. Therefore, it is possible to output a well-balanced kanji character string with ruby characters. Furthermore, by using the conventional individual ruby method and the group ruby method together, there is an advantage that an arbitrary kanji character string with ruby can be output. Further, even when the character magnification of the kanji character is changed, the balance of the entire document can be maintained by making the character size of the ruby character string constant.
