Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cut data editing method in a window system having a cut-and-paste function for cutting a part of a document displayed in a window and copying it to another window.

In the multi-window system, a part of the document displayed in the window is cut (cut), saved in the cut data storage unit (internal buffer) 3, and cut into the window displayed itself or another document. You can copy the pasted part.

However, in the conventional window system,
The contents of the cut document could not be displayed on the screen and edited on the screen. According to the present invention, the cut data cut and saved in the internal buffer is displayed on the screen so that the cut data can be edited on the screen.

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 shows a cut and paste process in a conventional window system.

In the figure, reference numeral 61 denotes a display, which displays a window of document data of an application program. 62 is an internal buffer (see FIG.
(Corresponding to the cut data storage section), which stores the document data cut in the window. 63 is a window area 1 for displaying the document data of the application program, and 63 'is a window area 1
The cut area designated by (63), the window area 2 for displaying the document data of the application program 2, 64 'are the paste areas designated for the window area 1 (64'), and are stored in the internal buffer 62. Represents the copied document data. Reference numeral 65 denotes a window data storage unit, which is a window area 1 (6
3), the document data to be displayed in the window area 2 (64) is stored.

The operation of the configuration shown in the figure will be described. The document data in the window data storage unit 65 is the window area 1 (6
3), it is displayed in the window area 2 (64).

A cutting process is selected by an input device (not shown) such as a pointing device, and the display 61 is displayed.
The cut area 63 ′ in the selected window area 1 (63) is designated. Cut area 6 by cutting
The 3 ′ document data is stored in the internal buffer 62. To copy the cut data, select paste processing and specify the copy destination. By executing the paste, the document data in the internal buffer 62 is displayed at the designated position.

[0008]

In the conventional cut-and-paste function, the cut data stored in the internal buffer 62 is not displayed on the screen. Therefore, when confirming the cut contents, the contents can be known only by executing the paste. I couldn't. If you want to paste after changing the cut contents, execute paste once,
Change on the pasted application program,
I had to cut it further and paste it.

According to the present invention, cut data editing in a window system having a cut-and-paste function capable of displaying cut document data captured in an internal buffer on the screen and editing the displayed cut data on the screen The purpose is to provide a scheme.

[0010]

According to the present invention, a cut data display control section 4 for displaying cut data and a cut data edit control section 7 for editing the displayed cut data are provided in the cut and paste processing. ， Enabled to edit the cut data without executing paste.

FIG. 1 shows the basic configuration of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a display screen for displaying window data, 2 is a cut data edit window (buffer window) on the display screen for displaying cut document data, 3 is cut data storage A part (internal buffer) that stores cut document data. A cut data display control unit 4 controls the display of the data stored in the cut data storage unit 3. Reference numeral 4'is a cut data display in the cut data edit window. Reference numeral 5 is a window area for displaying document data of the application program 1, 5 '
Is a cut area, and the cut data is stored in the cut data storage unit (internal buffer) 3 when the cut function is selected and the cut area is specified. . 6 is a window area 2 for displaying the document data of the application program
6'is a paste area, select the paste function,
The document data in the cut data storage unit 3 displayed by designating and executing the paste position is shown. A cut data editing control unit 7 edits the cut data in the cut data storage unit 3 displayed on the screen.
An input device 9 is composed of a keyboard, a pointing device, etc., and is used to input edit data, select a cut function, a paste function, specify a cut area and execute, specify a paste position, execute, and the like.

[0012]

The operation of the configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The description will be given in the order of the alphabets shown.

The cut function is selected by, for example, designating the cursor of the icon by the A input device 9. And the input device 9
Specifies the cut area in the window area 1. The document data in the area designated by the cut execution operation is stored in the cut data storage unit (internal buffer) 3.

The B and C cut data display control unit 4 displays the document data stored in the cut data storage unit (internal buffer) 3 on the cut data edit window (buffer window) 2.

When the D or E edit mode is selected, the cut data edit mode is set. Then, edit data is input from the input device 9 on the cut data edit window 2.
The cut data edit control unit 7 edits the document data in the cut data storage unit 3 (characters, deletion, correction of figures, etc.).

The F cut data edit control unit 7 stores the cut data in the cut data storage unit (internal buffer) 3. The paste function is selected by the G input device 9. Then, the window area to be pasted and the paste position are specified by the cursor and executed. The document data stored in the cut data storage unit (internal buffer) 3 is displayed on the screen in the paste area 6 '.

The cut data targeted by the present invention is not limited to the document data of the application program displayed in the window area, but the document data of the internal buffer displayed in the cut data editing window (buffer window). But it is possible.

[0018]

FIG. 2 shows the construction of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes an internal buffer for storing the document data cut in the window area or the buffer window in the window system (the window area is a window for displaying the document data of the application program, and the buffer window is It is a window that displays document data in an internal buffer that stores cut data (the same applies in the following description)).
Reference numeral 20 'is an internal buffer monitoring unit that monitors data changes in the internal buffer. Reference numeral 21 is a cut processing unit that, when the cut function is selected, displays a window area or an area specified on the buffer window. The document data is cut out and stored in the internal buffer 20.
Reference numeral 21 'denotes a cut data display control unit, which displays the changed internal buffer data when the internal buffer monitoring unit 20' detects a change in the internal buffer data. An internal buffer edit control unit 22 displays the document data in the internal buffer 20 on the screen and edits the document data based on the edited data input by the input devices (keyboard, mouse) 25 and 26. Display the result on the screen and display the edited document data in the internal buffer 2
It is stored in 0. Reference numeral 23 denotes a paste processing unit which, when the paste function is selected, specifies the paste position on the window area and copies the document data in the internal buffer 20 when the paste function is executed. Reference numeral 24 is a display and 25 is a keyboard for inputting edit data of document data and the like. A mouse 26 is used to select icons such as a cut function and a paste function. 27 is a display control unit, which is a keyboard 2
