2. Description of the Related Art Today, a word processor (or personal computer) of a simple document creation system is used when creating an office document or the like, which handles a relatively small amount of data. The customer who requests the printing plate making may create the document data of the printing document with this word processor.

One such word processor is shown in FIG. In the word processor of FIG.
Various instructions are given by moving the cursor on the display unit or the screen with the mouse 1, and the central processing unit 3 creates the document data. This document data is displayed on the screen and the printer 4
On the external magnetic disk 5, recording on an external magnetic disk 5, or recording on a floppy disk (for example, 8 inches) 6. When the manuscript of this document data is submitted, the floppy disk 6 on which this document data is recorded can be used. In FIG. 6, reference numeral 6A is a floppy disk drive.

On the other hand, a computer for printing plate making is a huge system that handles extremely large-capacity data, which expresses images with high precision and high resolution. Therefore, the printing plate making computer is different from the word processor not only in the format (document format) but also in the character code data that can be handled, and in particular, the registered external characters and control codes are completely different.

Conventionally, when the document data created by the word processor is input as a print document into a printing plate making computer, the external characters may be lost by simply converting the format.

[0006]

Therefore, conventionally, as described above, the data of the first processing system such as the word processor having a relatively small data capacity is used for the large-capacity second printing plate making.
When inputting into the processing system, the operator manually re-inputs the external characters and the like, and it takes a lot of time to input and the efficiency is low, which is an obstacle to the efficient work of plate making.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and all of the document data processed by the first document data processing system can be input to the second document data processing system without omission. It is an object to provide a data input support system.

[0008]

According to the present invention, each of a first system and a second system for processing document data includes code data that cannot be read by the second system in at least the processed data of the first system. A data input support system for inputting the document data processed by the first system to the second system when the document data processed by the first system is retained. A first recording medium, a means for rewriting the document data of the first recording medium to the format of the second system, and the code data that cannot be read by the second system in the document data, and are left as they are. Or, means for performing predetermined code conversion and processing, and of the document data, code data that can be read by the second system, and As it is the code data,
Alternatively, a means for writing code conversion or processed code data in the second recording medium is provided, and the document data written in the second recording medium is read into the second system to solve the above problems. It is a thing.

Further, in the present invention, the above-mentioned processing is performed by deleting a line feed, deleting a page break, deleting a control character, converting a half-width character to a full-width character, shading, adding an underline code, and a screen constituent character. It can be deleted and / or deleted.

Further, according to the present invention, according to the contents described in the function check table, the start and end pairs of the combination function in the document data are checked, the nest check of the same function function, the check of the existence prohibition function, and the sequence check. Means for performing a check of at least one of the above.

[0011]

In the present invention, the document data processed by the first system is held in the first recording medium, the held document data is rewritten in the format of the second system, and the first of the document data The code data that can be read by the second system and the code data or the code conversion that is left as it is in the document data, which is left as it is, or is subjected to predetermined code conversion and processing for what cannot be read by the second system. Or processed code data second
Writing to the second recording medium and reading the document data written to the second recording medium into the second system.

Therefore, all the document data processed by the first document data processing system can be input to the second document data processing system without omission. Therefore, document data, for example, an original document such as a printing plate can be easily and quickly input to, for example, a printing plate computer.

Further, at least one of the above-mentioned processing is deletion of line feed, deletion of page break, deletion of control character, conversion of half-width character to full-width character, shading, addition of underline code, and deletion of screen constituent character. In that case, since it is not necessary to perform these processes in the second system, it is possible to speed up the process in the second system. In particular, the second system
In the case of a computer for printing plate making, it is difficult to increase the processing speed of the computer, so if the processing is performed in advance as described above, the processing speed of the whole stamp making plate work will be increased and the processing time will be increased. Can be shortened.

Further, according to the contents described in the function check table, at least one of the check of the start and end pairs of the combination function in the document data, the nest check of the same function function, the check of the existence prohibition function, and the sequence check. If only one check is performed, it is possible to determine whether or not the function is normal before the processing in the second system, so that the processing in the second system can be speeded up.

3) to (17).

(13) Combination function correspondence check: The correspondence between the start and end of the combination function (function that functions as a start and end function) is checked.

For example, if "S" = start and "E" = end function, an error message is output if there is no end function corresponding to "... S .........". If there is no start function corresponding to "......... E ...", an error message is output.

(14) Combination function existence prohibition check: When a certain combination function is prohibited from existing within the range of combination functions of different functions, it is checked whether or not it is in this prohibition state.

For example, “A · S” = start of function A, “A
・ E ”= Function A to end function A
If “S” = start of function B, “BE” = end of function B, and function B is prohibited from existing in function A, then ... B ・ S ………… A ・ E ………… B ・ E ……………… A ・ S ………… B ・ S ………… B ・ E ……… AE ・ ………… B ・ S ………… A ・ S ………… B ・ E ………… A ・ E …… The underlined part becomes an error and an error message is output.

(15) Checking nesting of combinational functions having the same function: Checking nesting of combinational functions having the same function.

For example, as a function of "S" = start and "E" = end, if nested as in S ... S ... E ... E ..., the underlined part is an error message. Is output.

(16) Single function existence prohibition check: It is checked whether or not there is a single function that does not exist within the range of a certain combination function (a function that functions independently, eg, line feed, etc.).

For example, "S" = start function of a certain function, "E" = end function of a certain function, and "T" = single function prohibited from existing between start S and end E. If ... T ... S ... T ... E ... T The single function T underlined causes an error and outputs an error message.

(17) Sequence check: It is checked whether the parameters added to the individual functions in one file are in ascending order.

For example, in the case of a single function in which "T" = parameter is added and the parameters must be in ascending order, ... T1 ... T2 ... T4 ... T3 ... T5 ...... The underlined part becomes an error and an error message is output.

Next, the contents of the auxiliary work / procedure registration function 28 will be described.

That is, the number of characters in the first floppy disk 20A file is counted.

Further, the designated file is deleted from the files existing in the floppy disks 20A to 20C.

That is, when a file is designated and executed, the designated file in the floppy disks 20A to 20C is deleted.

At this time, if the volume name is designated, the file in the volume of that volume name is designated, and
If the volume name is omitted, the current volume name is inherited and the files in the volume are deleted.

Further, registration, correction, deletion, and printing of the conversion procedure used for executing the conversion work are performed.

Here, in registration (new registration), a new procedure can be created.

Further, in the modification (procedure modification), the existing procedure can be modified.

When deleting (procedure deletion), an existing procedure is deleted.

In printing (procedure printing), the existing procedure contents are printed.

Also, a file dump list is output. That is, the data contents of the files in the first to third floppy disks 20A to 20C are output to the printer.

Next, the table setting processing function 30 will be described.

First, a table for conversion from JIS83 to JIS78 is maintained. In this case, the table is created / corrected / deleted.

Also, a table for conversion from JIS78 to JIS83 is maintained. In this case, the table is created / modified / deleted.

It also maintains a table for code conversion. In this case, the table is created / modified / deleted.

Further, the code conversion table document created by the Japanese word processor 12 is read to create a table.

It also maintains a table for limited code conversion. In this case, the table is created / modified / deleted.

Further, the document of the limited code conversion table created by the Japanese word processor 12 is read,
Create a table.

It also maintains a table for 1: 1 code conversion.

For example, the 1: 1 code conversion data created in the MS-DOS text file is converted into a table format used in the 1: 1 code conversion.

Also, a table for function check is maintained. That is, the table is created and modified.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described.

Since the data input support system 10 according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, the document data of the print original created by the Japanese word processor 12 or the like is printed by the printing plate making system via the second floppy disk 20B. Fill in all 18 without omission. At this time, there is no data loss in data input. This is because all the codes are processed, and there are no characters that are unconditionally deleted or gettered.

Further, the conversion work is simple. This is because the worker selects the procedure of the work target and specifies the execution,
This is because the conversion work is over.

Also, initial input mistakes can be prevented to a minimum. With this function check, initial input errors can be detected and accurate data can be created.

Data can be converted bidirectionally in various systems. For example, data input from the personal computer 14 can be input to the Japanese word processor 12, to the printing plate making system 18, and vice versa.

Data correction can be done by a Japanese word processor. That is, the text data edited by the simple typesetting system 16 and the printing plate making system 18 can be input to the Japanese word processor 12 and corrected.
