[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing device in a computer system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a document processing apparatus for creating, storing, copying, updating, etc. of characters, graphic symbols, etc. using a computer has rapidly become popular due to inventions such as a Japanese word processor and a desktop publishing system. When creating simple documents such as business documents, Japanese word processors are the mainstream, and when creating complex documents such as in-house newspapers, desktop publishing systems are the mainstream.

Hereinafter, these document processing apparatuses for managing documents in document frames will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 3
FIG. 1 shows a concept of a configuration of a portion related to the invention of the present application regarding a document processing apparatus according to the related art. In the figure, 21 is a document frame management unit, 22 is a document editing unit, and 23 is a document frame data storage unit. Actually, in addition to the above, it has components such as a crystal oscillation type precision timepiece, a CRT, a keyboard, a floppy disk and a storage device thereof. Each of these components operates in a unified manner under the control of a microcomputer incorporated in the document processing apparatus, and the necessary programs for the microcomputer or the like are basically stored in a ROM mainly composed of a memory element such as a semiconductor memory. As a general rule, applied, optional and newly created or added operators are mainly stored in the RAM. Further, the operator creates a sentence composed of characters, figures, and the like, and gives a predetermined instruction therefor mainly through a keyboard, a magnetic pen, a mouse or the like while referring to the display of the CRT.

However, since these are so-called well-known techniques, the description thereof will be omitted, and only the operations related to the present invention of each of the above-mentioned components will be described with these respective components as the main subjects of the operation. To do. In principle, this is the same in the examples described below. When creating a document with this document processing apparatus, an operator operates the document frame management unit 21 to determine the position and size of the document frame and creates the document frame. After that, the document editing unit 22 creates a document in the created document frame according to the instruction of the operator. Finally, the document frame data storage unit 2
3 stores the document data created by the document editing unit 22. As a result, the sentence created by the operator is stored in the sentence frame provided in the floppy disk or the storage unit as a word processor-specific device.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional one, the storage elements and the like are still expensive and relatively large, and when the document data in the document frame is updated, the previous document is used.

Similarly, the programming technology for operating the apparatus at the time of document creation is low, and the storage means and the like are still expensive, and only one document editing unit 22 is provided.
Therefore, for example, the document editing unit 22 in the document frame is switched from the document editing unit for creating a table to the document editing unit for creating a graph, and the document data in the same document frame is created by changing the table creation to the graph creation. Such advanced document management cannot be performed, and the document format and document history are fixed. For this reason, for example, it is difficult to flexibly deal with the change of the address name, the opening of a new railroad or a road when creating a map, and it is difficult to flexibly deal with the organization and personnel movement in the personnel organization chart.

Further, it is difficult to create a blueprint for a foreign customer in which a textbook in a foreign language, a Japanese sentence for a creator, and a European sentence for a customer are written together because the prohibition process of various sentences is congested. Is. Moreover, it is virtually impossible to manage the text creation according to the creation date and creator. For this reason, not only is the user insufficient in capacity of the document processing apparatus, but also the manufacturer is limited in demand. In view of the above circumstances, the present invention has been made with the object of providing a document processing system capable of easily creating a document according to various uses and capable of high-speed document history management with a simple system configuration.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described below based on examples. (First Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows claims 1, 2, and 5.
3 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the document processing apparatus according to the invention of FIG. The document processing apparatus includes a document frame management unit 1, a document editing unit 2, a document frame data storage unit 3, and a document frame document switching unit 4.
It consists of and. Further, the document processing apparatus can create, store, and manage a plurality of document frames, and also has operation and control measures for this, but this complicates the drawing and the present invention The drawings are omitted because they are not an essential part of the invention of claims 2 and 5. The document frame management unit 1
The position related to the storage and description of the document frame determined by the instruction of the operator who is the sentence creator, the size suitable for the sentence to be created such as the storage capacity, the number of characters per line from the operator, the number of lines per page, Various instructions such as font and standard of paper are transmitted to the document editing unit 2 for each document frame. The document editing unit 2 creates document data based on the instruction from the operator from the document frame management unit 1 based on the above-mentioned instruction regarding the document frame transmitted from the document frame management unit 1. Further, the document frame data storage unit 3 stores the document data created by the document editing unit 2 and the document creation date and time obtained from the built-in clock. And these are not different from those of the prior art. Next, the in-document-frame document switching unit 4 that constitutes the main part of the present invention will be described. This is to call the document data of the corresponding creation date and time from the document frame data storage unit 3 based on the instruction of the operator and then switch to the document data of the document editing unit 2.

Next, this operation will be described. In response to an operator's request for creating a document frame to the document frame management unit 1, the document frame management unit 1 requests the operator to set the start point and end point coordinates of the document frame. When the operator enters the desired settings,
The document frame management unit 1 creates a document frame corresponding to this input value. The document frame created in this way is conceptually shown in FIG. Next, the document is edited in this frame. This will be explained below. When the operator requests the document frame management unit 1 to edit the document frame 31 in FIG. 4, the document frame management unit 1
The document editing unit 2 is instructed to edit the document in the document frame 31 shown in FIG. The document editing unit 2 creates document data according to the operation of the operator from the document frame management unit 1 and stores the data as shown in FIG. 8 in the document frame data storage unit 3. However, it is needless to say that it is not visually recognizable in reality but is magnetically and digitally converted and stored. However, this is, so to speak, well-known and inconvenient for the explanation, so that it will be shown below visually and graphically. This also applies to other drawings. At this time, the sentence creation date and time is read by the clock built in the document processing apparatus at the time when the sentence creation is completed, and then the sentence data is created by the operator along with the preset position of the sentence frame. Be stored in. This point is no different from the document processing device according to the conventional technique. By printing the created sentence, a document as shown in FIG. 5 is printed. Similarly, when there is a document edit request from the operator in the document frame 32 of FIG. 4, the data as shown in FIG. 9 is newly stored in the document frame data storage unit 3. The sentence created by this is C
When displayed on the RT, a document as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed.
(However, as a general rule, the line in which the two rectangles shown in FIG. 6 are combined vertically is not displayed. This is the same in other figures.) Further, similar to the above, the document frame 31 in FIG. When there is a document edit request from the operator in FIG.
Data such as 0 is newly stored in the document frame data storage unit 3. At this time, as described above, the document creation date and time itself is obtained from the built-in precision clock, but the year, month, day, hour, and minute as character symbols are stored together with a predetermined identifier. Also, regarding the frame shown in FIG. 10, that is, the frame number for creating a document frame and a plurality of document frames and making it storable, that is, the document frame number, its start point, end point, and predetermined electronic identifier are integrated. Remembered. As a result, the document as shown in FIG. 7 is printed or displayed. Now, as long as there is no request from the operator to switch the document data within the document frame, the document shown in FIG. 7 is edited as it is, as in the prior art. (Note that the operator referred to in this switching operation is not necessarily the same person as the text creator. This is the same in other embodiments.) Next, the operation and processing according to the present invention will be described. However, when the operator requests the document frame document switching unit 4 to display the latest document for all the document frames in FIG. 4 as of September 20, 1991, the document frame document switching unit 4 stores the document frame data. From the data of FIG. 10 stored in the part 3, the latest document data as of September 20, 1991 is obtained based on the above-mentioned predetermined identifier for the year, month, etc. and the instruction input by the operator for the document frame itself. Judgment, document editing unit 2
The document data is switched for each document frame with respect to all the document frames. As a result, the document shown in FIG. 6 is displayed.
At this time, the identifier is a well-known technique widely adopted in electronic information processing organizations in patent applications, for example.
Numerical values such as 1, 9 and 20 are also available. For example, searching for a specific person by employee number in a company, searching for an application publication by inputting the application date and time, and searching for necessary books by a material number, book number, etc. in a library. The automatic input of the document creation date and time is a well-known technique that is widely adopted for automatic printing of the reception date and time on the recording paper in a facsimile machine and automatic input in a normal word processor. Creation of basic programs for these and storage in ROM are also well known techniques.
For this reason, the description of the specific processing such as retrieval and calling of a predetermined sentence based on them, the contents of the program, etc. will be omitted.

(Second Embodiment) A document processing apparatus according to the first, third and sixth inventions will be described based on an embodiment. This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment in the basic structure and operation, and therefore FIG. 1 of the first embodiment is used as a block diagram thereof. Now, the document processing apparatus includes a document frame management unit 1, a document editing unit 2, a document frame data storage unit 3,
It is composed of the document switching section 4 in the document frame. Of these, the document frame management unit 1 and the document editing unit, which are components that are not technically different from the first embodiment except that a sentence creator name field is created in the text frame instead of the text creation date / time field. 2 and the document frame data storage unit 3 will not be described in principle. Now, the document frame document switching section 4 according to the invention of the present claim calls the document data related to the corresponding sentence creator name from the document frame data storage section 3 based on the operator's instruction of the sentence creator name. The document data is switched to the document data of the document editing unit 2.

Next, this operation will be described. Next, a case will be described in which the document frame as shown in FIG. 4 is created and the document is edited by operating in the same manner as in the first embodiment. When the operator AAA requests the document frame management unit 1 to create a document frame, the document frame management unit 1 requests the operator to set the start point and end point coordinates of the document frame. When the operator AAA inputs a predetermined set value, the document frame management unit 1 creates a document frame according to this set value. The operator AAA requests the document frame management unit 1 to edit the document frame 31 in FIG. Document frame management unit 1
Instructs the document editing unit 2 to edit the document in the document frame 31 shown in FIG. The document editing unit 2 creates document data based on the operation of the operator AAA from the document frame managing unit 1, and FIG.
Such data is stored in the document frame data storage unit 3. As a result, the document shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the CRT or the like.
At this time, as in the first embodiment, the document creator's name is input to the position within a predetermined frame by the operator and then stored with a predetermined identifier, information about the position within the frame, and the like. Similarly, when there is a document edit request from the operator AAA in the document frame 32 of FIG. 4, the data as shown in FIG. 12 is stored in the document frame data storage unit 3. This gives C
A document as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the RT or the like. Further, when there is a document edit request from the operator BBB in the document frame 31 of FIG. 4 similarly to the above, the data as shown in FIG. 13 is stored in the document frame data storage unit 3. As a result, a document as shown in FIG. 7 is created on the CRT or the like. Now, unless there is a request from the operator to switch the document data within the document frame,
The document shown in FIG. 7 is edited as in the case of the document processing apparatus according to the related art. This is the same as in the first embodiment, as described above.

Next, the operation according to the present invention will be described. When the operator AAA requests the in-document-frame document switching section 4 to display only the document data in which the document frame 31 in FIG. 4 is the document data created by the operator AAA and the document frame 32 in FIG. 4 is created by the operator AAA, In the document frame document switching unit 4, the document frame 31 of FIG. 4 is document data created by the operator AAA from the data of FIG. 10 stored in the document frame data storage unit 3 and the document frame 32 of FIG. The document data created by AAA is read and the document data is switched for each document frame of the document editing unit 2. As a result, the document shown in FIG. 6 is displayed. In addition, for the description of the method of searching by the name of the creator of the sentence, the identifier, etc., only a predetermined word is displayed blinking on the CRT for correction of the sentence in an ordinary word processor, and the personal number in the automatic payment and withdrawal of the bank ( In this case, since it is a technique that is used for extremely everyday things, such as calling the other side by the number, not the person's name, the calling of the central CPU, the description thereof will be omitted like the first embodiment.

(Third Embodiment) A document processing apparatus according to the inventions of claims 4 and 7 will be described based on an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of this embodiment. This document processing device is
A document edit switching unit 11, a document frame management unit 12, a document editing unit 13 for Japanese editing (hereinafter, simply referred to as "Japanese document editing unit"), and a document editing unit 14 for English sentence editing (hereinafter, referred to as "Japanese document editing unit"). Simply referred to as "English document editing section") and the document frame data storage section 1
5 and 5. The document edit switching unit 11 selects one of the two document edit units 13 and 14 based on an instruction from the operator. The document frame management unit 12 transmits an instruction from the operator to the Japanese document editing unit 13 or the English document editing unit 14 designated by the document edit switching unit 11. Both document editing units 13 and 14 are installed according to their uses, and create document data according to the uses based on an instruction from the operator from the document edit switching unit 11. At this time, the Japanese document editing unit 13
More specific contents, for example, normally, A4 is automatically set to 36 characters / line, 29 lines / page, etc.
More specific contents, for example, normally, A4 is automatically set to double spacing, 69 characters / line, 25 lines / page or pica, etc., and other characters / lines, lines / pages, etc., B4, B5, etc. Since the setting can be changed to the paper standard, and the hardware and programs for operating these, various standards, and prohibition processing are known techniques, their description will be omitted. The document frame data storage unit 15 stores the document data created by the Japanese document editing unit 13 or the English document editing unit 14.

Next, this operation will be described. When the operator requests the document frame management unit 12 to create a document frame, the document frame management unit 12 requests the operator to set the start point and end point coordinates of the document frame. When the operator inputs desired setting values, the document frame management unit 12 creates a document frame. A case where the document frame shown in FIG. 14 is created by the same operation and the documents shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 are created will be described. The document edit switching unit 11 uses the document frame 6 shown in FIG.
The Japanese document editing unit 13 is selected to edit the first document. The document frame management unit 12 supplies the Japanese document editing unit 13 with an instruction from the operator to edit the document frame 61 of FIG. The Japanese document editing unit 13 creates the document data of FIG. 15 based on the operator's instruction from the document frame management unit 12, and stores it in the document frame data storage unit 15. Similarly, the Japanese document editing unit 1 is used to edit the document in the document frame 62 of FIG. 14 based on an instruction from the operator.
16 is made by editing the document by using the document No. 3. Next, a case will be described in which a European document such as 92 shown in FIG. 17 is edited in the document frame 72 shown in FIG. 15 according to an operator's instruction. The document edit switching unit 11 selects the English document editing unit 14 for document editing of the document frame 72 of FIG. 15 based on the instruction of the operator. Document frame management unit 12
Informs the English document editing unit 14 of an operator's instruction to edit an English sentence in the document frame 72 of FIG. The English document editing unit 14 creates the English document data shown in the document frame 92 of FIG. 17 based on the operator's instruction from the document frame management unit 12, and stores it in the document frame data storage unit 15. At this time,
Needless to say, congestion of prohibition processing does not occur because the document editing units are different. At this stage, the documents indicated by 91 and 92 in FIG. 17 are edited unless the operator requests the document editing unit to be switched.

Next, when the operator requests the document edit switching section 11 to continuously use the Japanese document editing section 13 for editing the document in the document frame 72 of FIG. 15, the document edit switching section 11
Selects to continue operating the Japanese document editing unit 13 for document editing of the document frame 72 of FIG. 15 based on the instruction of the operator. As a result, the document frame management unit 12 continues to use the Japanese document editing unit 13 for document editing of the document frame 62 of FIG. 14 after using the Japanese document editing unit 13 for document editing of the document frame 61 of FIG. As a result, a Japanese document as shown in FIG. 16 is created.

In this embodiment, the CRT shown in FIG.
Both Japanese and English texts are displayed and printed at the same time when displayed on the screen, printed on recording paper, etc. This is widely used not only in current word processors but also in other fields such as facsimile machines. Because of the technology of
The description is omitted. Further, the switching of the document editing section is, so to speak, only a switching operation programmatically, which is a widely adopted technique in computer systems such as selection of an icon, calling of a file, that is, not only data but also a program. Therefore, the description will be omitted in the same manner.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. That is, specifically, (1) the inventions of all claims can be said, but the number of sentence frames that can be created is not limited to one or more.

(2) In the invention of claim 1, the switching of the sentence data for each sentence frame is performed by a sentence composed of Japanese and European sentences instead of the creation date and time and the name of the sentence creator according to the inventions of claims 2 and 3. In, it also includes switching such as selecting only one. Therefore, in this case, the document processing apparatus is a combination of the invention of claim 1 and the invention of claim 4. (3) Similarly, the switching of the document data in the text frame is to switch not only by the text creation date and time, the text creator but also the text creation department, font, and the like.

Further, because of this, there are three or more types of switching. Of course, for these purposes, necessary programs are improved and identifiers are adopted. (4) In the inventions of claims 1, 2 and 3, switching the text data means displaying only the contents instructed by the operator on the CRT while keeping the storage of the text data such as a floppy disk or a built-in semiconductor memory. Alternatively, it is a concept that includes both printing on recording paper and addition of erasing the memory as unnecessary if the stored text data other than the one displayed or printed by the operator is unnecessary. .. A capability is added to allow the operator to select erasing along with display and printing.

(5) In the inventions of claims 4 and 7, and in the third embodiment relating to these, the Japanese document editing section 13

A large number (not limited to two types, three or more types) of document editing units are provided.

(6) A text processing apparatus incorporating the invention of claim 5 or claim 6 or both of them and the invention of claim 7 based on internationalization of business activities, increase of employment of foreigners, and the like. Therefore, in this case, it is possible to print only the document created in Japanese as of September 20, 1991. (7) The function according to the present invention is added to the existing text processing device by adding new hardware or improving the program.

(8) In the manufacture of the text processing apparatus according to the present invention, each constituent element is dispersed in a plurality of parts or a plurality of constituent elements are integrated into one part for the convenience of manufacturing. (9) In the inventions of claims 2 and 5, when used for management of update of text, only the updated part is created for the text created after that based on the text created first. The data is recorded together with the date and time, and when the text is printed at the time of switching and the stored contents are changed, the necessary corrections are made to the basic document before printing. As a result, the required program amount increases, but the storage capacity for the sentence itself created by the operator also increases.

(10) As can be said with respect to the inventions of all claims, a password is provided for switching, and another capability is added so that only a person who knows the password can switch. (11) In the inventions of claims 2 and 3, if there is no corresponding document, a message to that effect is displayed on the CRT.
Etc.
