Abstract

PURPOSE:To display the writing order of a character by putting character data in vector data in its writing order, section by section, and displaying successively the character data in section units at time intervals from a sectioning code. CONSTITUTION:When, for example, 'da' and 'i' are inputted from a keyboard in writing order display mode and a conversion key is operated, a CPU decodes them to obtain the character code of 'dai' which is equivalent to 'large' in English and accesses the vector data head address table part 11 in a CGROM to obtain a head address 'BBBBB', thereby reading vector data out in order. The CPU develops the vector data in initial writing order in a work RAM from a section 12-3 to display one initial stroke. Then the CPU recognizes that the display data do not end, reads a next section 12-4, and displays a stroke after a time set in a timer is elapsed. Similarly, sections 12-6 and 12-7 are read out in order to display the writing order successively and when the character sectioning code is decided, the reading process ends.

The work RAM 23 is used as a work area at the time of character creation, for example, when a character is output by outline vector data, the outline is first written on the work RAM 23 and then the space between the outlines is filled with dots. Is what is used.

Image data to be displayed on the display 25 is written in the video RAM 24. The display 25 is
For example, it is a display such as a CRT or LCD.

Next, CG which is one of the features of the present invention
・ Regarding the data for displaying the stroke order in the ROM 10,
It will be described with reference to FIG. The data for displaying the stroke order is the vector data start address table portion 11 and, for example, "large".
It has a vector data section exemplified by the vector data section 12 of FIG.

In the vector data head address table section 11, a character code and a head address where the data for displaying the writing order of the character are stored are entered. For example, when the character code of the character "large" is 1234 (hexadecimal) and the starting address where the data for displaying the writing order of the character is stored is BBBBB (hexadecimal), the address position is as shown in FIG. As shown, vector data is sequentially stored according to the writing order.

A character delimiter code is entered in the first section 12-0, the number of strokes is entered in the next section 12-1, an image delimiter code is entered in section 12-2, and a section 12-3 is entered. The vector data of the "large" first writing order pixel is written.

An image delimiter code is entered in the section 12-4, vector data of the second large writing order pixel of "Large" is entered in the section 12-5, and an image delimiter code is entered in the section 12-6. , Vector data of the third "write" pixel of "Large" is written in the section 12-7. And division 12-

Next, the CPU 20 recognizes that the display data has not ended, reads the next section 12-4, reads the image delimiter code, and also reads the section 12-5, as shown in FIG.
As shown in, the second fraction is expanded into dot data in the work area.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5D, the second fraction developed in this work area is transferred to the VRAM 24 and the second writing order is displayed on the display unit 25. At this time, The CPU 20 recognizes that the writing order display mode is set, and the data is transferred from the work area to the VRAM 24 after a preset time in the timer 20-1. This delay processing exists in the step of the arrow attached with d in FIG.

The fractions developed in the work area are VR
When data is transferred to the AM 24, it is written while taking the logical sum with the data on the VRAM 24. In this way, division 12-
The 6th and 12th sections are sequentially read out, the same processing is performed, and the sequential writing order is displayed. When the CPU 20 reads the section 12-8 and determines the character delimiter code, it recognizes the end of reading the display data.

As another embodiment of the present invention, a confirmation key 21-2 is provided on the keyboard 21 shown in FIG. 3, and the operator operates the confirmation key 21-2 instead of the delay process based on the timer 20-1. Each time the writing is performed, the writing order may be sequentially displayed. Further, in the above description, the example of "large" is described, but the present invention is not limited to this.
