[Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention] On the other hand, when converting a document with bullet points into a document with continuous display, it is possible to This was done by repeatedly moving the items listed. Therefore, the work is complicated and requires a lot of time.

An object of the present invention is to enable easy continuous display of document data displayed as bullet points.

[Means to solve the problem] The means of the present invention are as follows.

A document data storage means 1 (see the functional block diagram in FIG. 1; the same applies hereinafter) stores control codes for displaying bullet points on the display together with document data.

The display means 2 displays the document data stored in the document data storage means 1 in bullet points based on the control code.

The instruction means 3 instructs the display means 2 to change the display format of the document data from bullet point display to continuous display.

The continuous display means 4 responds to the change instruction from the instruction means 3 and continuously displays the document data by successively displaying the next bulleted item after one bulleted item displayed as bulleted points based on the control code. .

[Effect] The operation of the means of the invention is as follows.

The document data stored in the document data storage means 1 is displayed in bullet points by the display means 2 based on the control code. In this state, when the instruction means 3 issues an instruction to change the display form from bullet point display to continuous display, the continuous display means 4 will display the next bullet point item after the first bullet point item displayed in bullet points based on the control code. The document data is displayed continuously by continuously displaying the bulleted items.

Therefore, document data displayed as bullet points,
Can be easily displayed continuously.

Further, in mode (1), when a line feed is performed by operating Key-R, cursor digit information Y is written to the C register, or data in the B register is written. Data “1” is written to the D register when Key-I is operated, and when Key-D is
Data “0” is written during the operation. The Y register is a register that stores cursor digit information, and when Key-R is operated, the data in the B register is set.

The display control section 16 is a circuit that converts input data from the key input section 11 and document data in the document memory 14 into display signals and displays them on the display section 17. In this case, the display section 17 is, for example, a CRT display device. Consists of. The print control section 18 also includes the key input section 1.
This is a circuit that causes a printing section 19 consisting of a printer to print input data from 1 and document data in the document memory 14.

Operation Next, the operation will be explained with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 3 and the display state diagrams in FIGS. 4 and 5.
The case where the document shown in FIG. 4 is input as bulleted items and written into the document memory 14 will now be explained.

First, in order to input the document "What is the invention?" in the normal mode, set mode (0) by operating Key-0. At this time, steps A1 to A3 in the flowchart of FIG. 3 are executed, and mode (0) is set in the A register.

Next, the user inputs "What is the invention?" from the key input unit 11 using the character keys. At this time, after step A1,
Each processing step of steps A2, A4, A7, A18, A20, and A22 is judged as NO, and the step is
Proceed to A24. As a result, normal Japanese word processor processing is executed by the CPU 13, and the sentence "What is the invention?" is written in the document memory 14 and displayed on the display section 17. At this point, the cursor is at the position indicated by symbol 21 in FIG.

Next, operate Key-1 to set mode (1). At this time, step A1 and A2 are
Proceeding to A4, Key-1 judgment processing is performed. Then proceed to step A5 and set the mode (1) to the A register.
is set. Further, in step A6, information on the current cursor position set in the Y register, ie, the digit 21 in FIG. 4, is written into the B register.

Next, if you input the document "Using natural laws" using the letter keys, steps A1, A2,
A4, A7, A18, A20, A22, and A24 are executed and written into the document memory 14.

Next, when Key-R is operated to execute a line feed, the key operation is determined at step A7 via steps A1, A2, and A4, and then the process proceeds to step A8, where the mode (1) of the A register is determined. The result C
Information on the current digit position of the cursor in the Y register (the digit indicated by symbol 22 in FIG. 4) is set in the register (step A9). Then, in step A10, Code-E indicating the batch deletion portion is written in the digit corresponding area set in the C register of the document memory 14, and then in step A11, the data (digit position information) of the C register is written in the digit corresponding area set in the C register of the document memory 14. It is determined whether the maximum digit of the format matches. But now
If NO, the process advances to step A12, where the data in the C register is incremented by 1, and the process returns to step A10. Thereafter, until it is determined in step A11 that the data in the C register matches the maximum digit of the format, the process continues in step A10.
.about.A12 are repeatedly executed, and as a result, Code-E is sequentially written into the document memory 14 from the digit indicated by the symbol 22 in FIG. 4 to the last maximum digit of the line. When the data in the C register reaches the maximum digit, the process advances from step A11 to A14, and the C register data reaches the maximum digit.
Register B register data (symbol 2 in Figure 4)
1 digit position information) is set, and the data of the B register is set in the Y register. Next, in step A15, it is determined whether the data in the C register is not "0", and NO
Therefore, proceed to step A16 and store the document memory 14.
In the digit corresponding area according to the C register data of
Code-E is written. Next, in step A17, the data in the C register is set to -1, and the process returns to step A15.

The processes in steps A15 to A17 are repeated until the data in the C register becomes "0" in step A15.
Code-E is stored in the digit-corresponding area of the document memory 14 from the digit to one digit before the digit shown by symbol 23 in Fig. 4.
is written.

After the above processing, the cursor is at the position indicated by the data in the Y register held in step A14 (the digit of symbol 23, which is the same as symbol 21 in Figure 4). When inputting the key, and finally changing the line by pressing Key-R, the text "Of technical creation" is stored in the document memory 14 in the same way as when the text "Using the laws of nature" is entered.
is written, and from the digit next to the last word "chi" in the sentence to the maximum digit of that line (second line), and then from the first digit after the line break to before the cursor position after the line break is executed. In the digit area of document memory 14,
Code-E is written.

Key− even after entering the next sentence “Advanced”
Even after pressing R to start a new line and entering the key for "say."
If you press Key-R to start a new line, the same process as described above will be executed. At this time, the input text is displayed on the display section 17 as shown in FIG.

In this display state, if you operate Key-E to execute batch deletion, steps A1, A2, A4,
After each process of A7 and A18, the process advances to step A19, where all of the sentences in the text in FIG. 4 written in the document memory 14 are
Code-E is searched and deleted, and as a result, the bulleted sentences in FIG. 4 are re-edited into continuous sentences as shown in FIG. 5.

[Other Embodiments] Next, the text form of the bullet points in FIG. Another embodiment will be described in which the document format shown in FIG. 5 or the document format shown in FIG. 4 can be arbitrarily output. In this embodiment, Key-I in FIG.
, Key-D, and register D are used, and steps A20 to A23 of the flowchart in FIG. 3 are executed.

Now, to explain the outline of its operation, if you create a bullet point document as shown in Figure 4 in the document memory 14 and then operate Key-D, the steps in Figure 3 will be executed.
This is determined at A22, and data "0" is written to the D register. In response to this, the CPU 13
When displaying or printing document data in the document memory 14, the code in the document memory 14 is
The data in E is determined to have no code, and as a result, the document displayed or printed as shown in Figure 4 is
The document is converted into a continuous document as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if you operate Key-I after displaying and converting the document in FIG. 4 into the document in FIG. 5 in this way, this will be determined in step A20 in FIG.
Data "1" is set in the D register. As a result, the CPU 13 determines Code-E in the document memory 14 as a space code and performs display processing or printing processing, and as a result, the document shown in FIG. 5 is converted into an itemized document as shown in FIG. 4. Note that such mutual conversion processing becomes invalid after the execution of Key-E because the contents of the document memory 14 are re-edited.

[Other Embodiments] Next, still other embodiments will be described with reference to FIG. 6. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, Key-I
A bullet point specification code for specifying the starting position of a bullet point by operating Key-R is stored, and a bullet point delimiter code is stored by operating Key-R.

Therefore, when the bullet point format is specified by a predetermined operation, a space code is automatically set between the bullet point delimiter codes in the document memory 14, as shown in FIG. 6, and the bullet point document is Can be created.

In addition, the bulleted documents in Figure 6-2 are based on the Key
-E operation can be executed in the same manner.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, bullet points can be easily displayed in a continuous manner, so that editing and the like can be performed in a continuous display state. Therefore, editing etc. can be limited to a narrow area and can be performed efficiently and quickly.
