Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a character processor with the easy input and handling of external character. CONSTITUTION:Whether an incorporated character pattern is used or an external pattern is used is decided in accordance with the contents of a convertion table 4 corresponding to a character code inputted from a key board 3. A control part 1 fetches a desired pattern from either a memory 5 where the incorporated pattern is stored or a memory 6 the registered external pattern is stored based on the decision.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a character processing device,
In particular, it relates to a document processing device such as a Japanese word processor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an external character has been created for a code in an area (for example, a code area such as 90 wards) to which a JIS kanji code character is not assigned.

When using an external character, the code is designated by using a keyboard or the like to read the character pattern of the external character from the area to which the external character is assigned and output it.

In the following description, the external character is described by using the substitute characters corresponding to each external character as shown in FIG.

[0005]

In the conventional document processing apparatus as described above, therefore, for example, in order to use "C" instead of "瘘", an external character input or a phrase input is made each time. Or use the user dictionary "C paper""C
It was necessary to register a word containing this character such as "over". In addition, when multiple people share one sentence and assign the same character to different codes in the external character area, the machine to be used is limited for each user or the kanji code is changed at the editing stage. Occasionally, the work of unifying

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a document processing apparatus in which input and handling of external characters are easy.

[0007]

A document processing apparatus according to the present invention allows an arbitrary character code to be set for a registered external character, and is assigned to a character pattern built into the character processing apparatus from the beginning. When the existing character code is set for the external character, the character pattern of the external character can be preferentially used for this character code. Even if the character processing device itself does not have a built-in JIS auxiliary kanji pattern,
The IS auxiliary kanji code (X0212) can be set.

FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. When displaying or printing a character, the code determination means 102 determines whether the output character code 101 uses a built-in character pattern or an external character pattern. Then, the result is transmitted to the output means 103, which outputs the character pattern storage means 1 based on the result.
The character pattern is extracted from 04 and output. On the other hand, when the external character setting means 105 registers the external character pattern in the character pattern storage means 104, the character code data set for the registered external character can be registered in the code determining means 102.

[0009]

According to the present invention, if the input character code is the set code, the character pattern corresponding to the predetermined code is output.

[0010]

2 is a block diagram showing the construction of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, the document processing apparatus includes a control unit 1 including software for inputting characters, a buffer for storing character data, software for creating external characters, and a CRT or L.
A display unit 2 made of a CD, an input unit 3 made of a keyboard, a table 4 for converting codes set for external characters into original codes of external characters, a memory 5 for storing character patterns built in the device, The memory 6 stores a pattern of external characters registered by the user.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the specific contents of the table 4, memory 5 and memory 6 of FIG.

In the following description, JISX0208 and JISX0212 are used as the character code. These codes are expressed by using the lower 7 bits of each of the 2 bytes. In this embodiment, if the most significant bit of the lower byte is "0", the X0208 code,
If it is "1", the X0212 code is expressed.

In the document, the character code is "63-46" using the division number so that it is convenient to explain with a figure.
It is expressed as "66 * 39". Here, the expression connected by numbers with "-" indicates code X0208, and the expression connected by numbers by "*" indicates code X0212.
In addition, here, as an example, the character pattern data is expressed by the Chinese character itself.

FIG. 3A shows the contents of the table and the memory when the external character is not registered.

As a built-in character pattern in the memory 5,
The character pattern of the code of X0208 is stored according to the code. On the other hand, the memory 6 for storing the external character pattern is empty. The storage area for external characters is not assigned with the X0208 code 90-
It uses 94 wards. The table 4 is composed of a memory 41 for storing the set character code and a memory 42 for storing the codes of the original 90-94 wards of external characters, and they correspond to each other. In this case, since the code setting for the external character is not made, the content of the memory 41 is the same as the content of the memory 42.

FIG. 3B shows an example of the contents of the table and the memory in the state where the external character is registered and the character code is set for the external character. The contents of the memory 5 are the same as the contents of the memory 5 in (1) of FIG. “A” is assigned to each of the areas 01 to 03 in the 90 wards of the memory 6,
Character patterns of "B" and "C" are registered. In Table 4, "66 * 39" is set as the character code corresponding to the external character "B" of 90 wards and 02 points, and "63-46" is set as the character code corresponding to the external character "C" of 90 wards and 03 points. It is shown. The contents of the table 4 are sorted in ascending order based on the area 41 side in the left column for the convenience of retrieval. The external character "A" for which no code is set is
As before, it is treated as an external character of 01 points in 90 wards.

Hereinafter, referring to the memory and the table in the states (1) and (2) of FIG. 3, an example is given in which the codes of "63-46" and "66 * 39" are to be output as characters. The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In the case of the state of (1) of FIG. 3 When outputting the code “63-46” First, in step S 201, it is searched whether or not this character code is stored in the area 41 in the left column of the table 4. To be done. If the character code is stored, the character corresponding to the character code is determined to be an external character, but in the case of (1) of FIG. 3, since the character code is not stored in the area 41, the flow proceeds to step S203. move on.

In step S203, it is determined whether or not the character code corresponds to the character having the built-in pattern (in this case, the character X0208). In this case, since the character corresponding to the character code is a built-in character, the flow proceeds to step S204.

Next, in step S204, the pattern of the character "R" corresponding to "63-46" is retrieved from the memory 5 and output (displayed or printed).

When outputting the code "66 * 39" First, in step S201, the character code is set to the table 4
It is searched whether or not it is stored in the code in the area 41 in the left column of. If it is stored, the character corresponding to the character code is determined to be an external character, but since it is not stored in this case, the flow proceeds to step S203. Next, in step S203, it is determined whether or not the character code corresponds to a character (a character of X0208 in this case) having a built-in pattern. In this case, since the code is X0212, the flow proceeds to step S205. Then, in step S205, the number character pattern is extracted from the memory 5 and reduced, and the size of one character is set to "6".
The characters "6", "3", and "9" are combined and output (displayed or printed).

The result thus output is as shown in FIG. 5 (1). In the case of the state (2) in FIG. 3 When outputting the code “63-46” First, in step S201, it is determined whether or not the character code is stored in the area 41 in the left column of the table 4. Here, since "63-46" is stored in the area 41 in step S202, the flow proceeds to step S206.

Next, in step S206, the area 41
The content of the area 40 in the right column corresponding to "63-46", that is, "90-03" is taken out. Then, step S20
In 7, the pattern of the character “C” corresponding to the code “90-03” is fetched from the memory 6 and output (displayed or printed).

When outputting the code "66 * 39" In step S201, it is first searched whether the character code is stored in the area 41 in the left column of the table 4. Here, since “66 * 39” is stored in the area 41, the flow proceeds to step S206.

The content "90-02" in the area 42 in the right column corresponding to "66 * 39" in the area 41 is taken out.

Then, the code "90-0" is read from the memory 6.
The pattern of the character "B" corresponding to 2 "is extracted and output (displayed or printed).

The result thus output is as shown in (2) of FIG.

In the above cases as well, the contents of the buffer storing the character code have not changed. That is,
Even when it is desired to use "C" instead of "filter", there is no need to perform a special operation for input. Also, when exchanging data with another device, it is not necessary to convert the external character code according to the device.

According to the present invention, by assigning a code of "filter" (46 points of JISX020863 ward) to the registered external character "C", "C" is displayed and printed instead of "filter". become. In addition, when "B" is created as an external character, the JIS supplementary kanji code (66 wards 39
By registering the points), it is not necessary to assign different characters to the same kanji among multiple devices, and the exchange of document files between the device that has the auxiliary kanji pattern built-in and the device that supports external characters. Is also simplified.

[0031]

As described above, according to the present invention, if the input character code is the set code, the character pattern corresponding to the predetermined code is output, so that the external character can be easily input. Further, since the exchange of documents including external characters is simplified, the external characters can be easily handled even when working with a plurality of devices.
