Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus used in a word processor or the like, and more particularly, to an automatic document determination apparatus for automatically determining the layout and format of an input document without considering the layout. The present invention relates to a document processing device having an editing function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a word processor or the like,
The document format is specified by setting the number of lines per line. Then, a document is created according to this format, and the created document is printed by the printer. In this case, the character representation is hardware (storage capacity, printer, built-in font, screen resolution, etc.) in display or printing.
There are many parts that depend on, and the characteristics of each word processor come out, but in general, you can use full-width, half-width, 1/4 double-width, double-width double, vertical double-width, and double-width characters as a character It is possible to specify the pitch, and many have underline, character decoration, and ruled line functions. In addition, when creating a sentence, an automatic editing function that automatically determines the layout may be used. Automatic editing is a program that analyzes the structure of an input document without paying attention to the layout, determines the layout from the structure, sets the appropriate format according to the amount of documents, and adjusts the appearance of the document.

The flow of processing of the above-mentioned automatic editing program is shown in FIG. As shown in this figure, first, step S
The initial value of the program is set at 1 and the margin value is determined at step S2. That is, in the conventional automatic editing program, the margin value recommended for each size of paper is stored in the program in advance, and the recommended value corresponding to the used paper size is determined as the margin value.

Next, in step S3, the structure of the document is analyzed. For example, the "title" and "body" can be distinguished from the symbols and numbers described at the beginning of each line that composes the document, and the punctuation at the end of the line, or "the layout position in the document is predetermined. "Character string", for example, a character string indicating a date or other specific character string is selected. Then, the document is divided into paragraphs based on these "title" and "text", the range requiring a digit indentation at the same level is determined, and the line is inserted at an appropriate position to shape the document.

Then, in step S4, the format is determined.
In this case, the number of lines, the number of digits, and the format are determined in consideration of the recommended character points, line digit pitch, paper size, margins, and document amount. Then, in step S5, the digit reduction is performed on the portion that requires digit reduction. Here, the maximum width of the carry-down is determined by calculation in consideration of the carry-down amount of the portion where the carry-down is deepest and the width of the paper.

In the operation of the automatic editing program described above, the automatic editing result is always determined in a form that the program judges to be most appropriate.

[0007]

However, in such a conventional document processing apparatus having an automatic editing function, the amount of digit reduction when performing digit reduction and the value of the margin of paper are as follows.
Since it is configured to be uniquely determined by a value specified in advance by the program, there is a drawback in that it is not possible to perform fine adjustment according to the user's preference and various purposes. In other words, in the operation of the conventional automatic editing program, the automatic editing result is always determined in the form that the program considers to be the most appropriate, so the detailed format setting and editing suitable for each individual's preference or various purposes are made. I couldn't. By doing so, it is possible to set the value of the amount of margin reduction and the margin, which was uniquely determined in the conventional automatic editing program, to the value entered according to the purpose, and perform the automatic editing based on the set value. Obviously, if this is done, the user's will can be reflected in the setting of the margin and the carry value. An object of the present invention is to make it possible to set the carry-down amount and the margin value to the input values according to the purpose.

[0008]

The means of the present invention are as follows. The automatic editing function 1 (see the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the same applies hereinafter) analyzes the structure of an input document without paying attention to the layout, and based on the structure, the layout and the format are set based on preset values. A document editing function that is automatically determined and is executed by, for example, the CPU processing an automatic editing program. The input unit 2 is an input device or the like for setting a set value used in the automatic editing function 1 (for example, a digit-carrying amount when carrying out digit-carrying or a margin value of paper). A keyboard provided with function keys such as an input key, a numeric keypad, and an execution key, or a soft key displayed on the display screen is selected and designated by a cursor movement key or the like. The format determining means 3 determines the layout and format of the document by the automatic editing function 1 and determines the format of the document based on the setting value when the setting value is input by the input means 2. For example, by the CPU. Executed. In this case, the setting values used in the format determination by the format determining means 4 are saved, and when the automatic editing function 1 is activated, the saved setting values are called and the setting values are supplied to the automatic editing function 1. Means may be provided.

[0009]

The operation of the means of the present invention is as follows. Usually, the structure of a document input by the automatic editing function 1 is analyzed, and the layout and format are automatically determined based on the structure based on preset values. User input means 2
When the setting value used in the automatic editing function 1 is input, the format determining means 3 determines the format based on the input setting value. Therefore, the intention of the user can be reflected in the setting of the margin and the carry-down value, and it is possible to set or edit the detailed format suitable for each individual's preference or various purposes.

EXAMPLES Examples will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the document processing apparatus 10, which is an example applied to a word processor. First,
The configuration will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the document processing apparatus. In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a CPU that controls the entire apparatus and performs address data printing processing described later.
Reference numeral 11 controls various operations of the document processing apparatus according to a micro program stored in a ROM 12 described later. The CPU 11 includes a ROM 12 that stores fixed data such as a predetermined program and a character pattern, and a RAM 1 that temporarily stores data used for calculation and calculation results.
3, a video RAM (V-RAM) 14 that stores image data displayed on a CRT 15 (described later), a CRT control unit 16 that controls the CRT 15 that displays the input image data on a screen, and an input device 17 such as a keyboard. Keyboard control unit 18, external storage control unit 20 that controls writing / reading of data to / from an external storage device 19 such as a floppy disk (FD) that stores a document file or an automatic editing program, and a printer that prints out a document Two
1 are connected to the printer control units 22.

The ROM 12 is an OS for starting the system.
(Operating System) IPL program, CRT
15, IOCS (Input Output Control S) for controlling input / output of keyboard 17, floppy disk 19, etc.
ystem) is a fixed memory that stores programs and character font data.

The storage area of the RAM 13 is divided and used for each predetermined purpose. Specifically, a document memory 31 for storing document information, a program memory 32 for storing an automatic editing program, etc. (FIG. 3), It is provided with a work memory 33 (FIG. 3) for temporarily storing data being processed.

The input device 17 is a keyboard provided with keys for inputting alphanumeric characters, hiragana, etc., and function keys such as a cursor movement key, an execute key, and a stop key.
When any key on the input device (keyboard) 17 is operated, the keyboard control unit 18 converts the key code into a predetermined key code corresponding to the key and outputs the key code to the CPU 11. Further, the printer 21 is for printing out the document stored in the RAM 13 according to the format information preset by the creator.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the relationship between the program memory 32 and work memory 33 provided in the RAM 13, the input device 17, and the external storage device 19. In the figure, the program memory 32 stores an automatic editing program 41 for performing automatic editing, a recommended margin value 42 and a carry-down value 43 used in the automatic editing program 41. Further, the work memory 33 is the calculation memory 5
1 and the recommended margin value 42 are transferred and stored, and when the margin value is input by the input device 17, the margin value 43 is changed to the input margin value and stored. The digit-down value 44 is transferred and stored, and when the digit-down value is input by the input device 17, the digit-down value is changed to the input digit-down value and stored. And are provided. Here, in order to be able to select either the “recommended value” or the “numerical value setting” for the margin, a recommended margin value 42 and a margin set value 43 are provided in the program memory 32, and the “numerical value setting” is set. When is selected, the values of the top, bottom, left and right margins can be specified by the numerical value in millimeters.

The automatic editing program is loaded from the external storage device 19 and stored in the program memory 32 as the automatic editing program 41. In addition, a margin recommended value 42, a margin set value 43, and a carry-down value 44 are stored in advance in the program memory 32.

Normally (when the automatic editing function is used as it is), the margin set value 43 of the program memory 32 is stored in the margin value register 52 of the work memory 33, and the carry-down value 44 is stored as the carry-down value register. The data are stored in 53, respectively, and are automatically edited based on these values.

On the other hand, when the user wants to change the margin value or the carry-down value to a desired value and automatically edit it, the input device 17 is used.
The value of the margin value register 52 and the value of the carry-down value register 53 of the work memory 33 are rewritten by the input from, and automatic editing is performed based on the rewritten value.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a program of the automatic edit setting processing, and in the figure, reference numeral Sn (n = 11, 12, ...) Shows each step of the flow. When the program is started, the automatic editing program is loaded from the external storage device 17 including the FD in step S11, and the margin setting value 43 is stored in the margin register 52 (margin setting value → margin value register) and the digit is lowered in step S12. The value 44 is stored in the carry-down value register 53 (carry-down value → carry-down value register). Next, in step S13, it is determined whether or not the "set" function is executed, and when the "set" function is executed, it means that there is an input instruction from the input device 17 to rewrite the set value for automatic editing. The setting value changing process is performed in steps S14 to S19, and when the "setting" function is not executed, it is determined that the automatic editing setting value is not rewritten, and the process directly proceeds to step S20 (automatic editing process).

Specifically, in step S14, it is determined whether or not a margin is set, and when the margin is set, it is determined in step S15 whether or not a recommended value is designated. When the recommended value is designated, the recommended margin value 42 is stored in the margin value register 52 in step S16 (recommended margin value → margin value register). When the recommended value is not designated, the margin value is keyed by the input device 17 in step S17. The blank value entered and keyed is stored in the blank value register 52. When the margin value is not set, steps S15 to S17 are skipped and the process proceeds to S18. That is, the document processing apparatus 10 of FIG.
As shown in, the "margin setting value 43" is stored in the automatic editing program of the program memory 32, and when the program is loaded, the setting value is set to the work memory 3
3 in the "margin value register 52". When determining the format with an automatic editing program, the value of this register is referred to as the margin value. In addition, a "setting" function for changing the margin value is newly provided so as to have a function of changing the numerical value in the "margin value register 52" to a value desired by the user by key input. However, since the set value can be freely set to a desired value by the user, even if the user wants to return to the standard value again, he / she has to re-enter the set value by similarly performing the key input, which is troublesome. Therefore, in this embodiment, a recommended value indicating what value is generally good for the paper is stored. In particular, since there are four margin values, that is, upper, lower, left, and right, it is troublesome to restore the standard value again. Therefore, in this embodiment, the "recommended margin value 47" is stored in advance in the automatic editing program 41, When the margin value is specified as the "recommended value" with the "Set" function, the value of the "margin value register 53" is set to "recommended margin value 4".
It has a function of rewriting to "2". With this function, it is possible to return the margin value changed by specifying the numerical setting to the recommended value with a simple operation.

Returning again to the flow of FIG. 4, step S
In step S19, it is determined whether or not to set the carry-down value. When setting the carry-down value, the carry-down value is key-input in step S19, and the carry-down value key-input is stored in the carry-down value register 53. If the carry-down value is not set, step S2 is directly performed.
Go to 0. Here, as the carry-down value, the carry-down value 44 stored in the automatic editing program 41 is stored in the "carry-down value register 53" as in the case of the margin value. The function of changing the value of the "carry value register 53" by the "setting" function is also provided. Since the carry-down value is determined by the ratio of the width of reduction to the width of the entire sheet, it is not appropriate to specify the number of digits considering that the automatic editing program 41 handles various paper sizes. Therefore, in this embodiment, "more" and "less"
It is set according to the degree. Therefore, unlike the case of the margin value, there is no need for the troublesome operation of returning to the recommended value. Therefore, unlike the case of the margin value, the operation of storing the recommended value in the automatic editing program 41 is not performed.

In step S20, the processing of the automatic editing program such as the margin determination, the document structure analysis, the format determination and the document digit indentation processing shown in FIG. 5 is performed. In the operation of this automatic editing program, when the "setting" function is not executed, the automatic editing result is always determined in the form that the program determines to be the most optimal, and by executing the "setting" function, each individual preference, Or, it becomes possible to set and edit a fine format suitable for various purposes, and it is possible to reflect the user's will in the setting of the margin and the indent value.

Then, the margin setting value 43 of the program memory 32 is rewritten with the value of the margin value register 52 (margin value register → margin value setting value), and the carry-down value 44 of the program memory 32 is carried to the carry-down value register. Rewrite with the value of 53 (carry value register → carry value). Next, in step S22, the automatic editing program 41 is saved in the external storage device (FD) 19 together with the set value, and the process of this flow ends. In this way, when the automatic editing program ends, the margin setting value 43 in the program memory 32 is rewritten to the value of the margin register 52 and is saved in the external storage device 17 together with the automatic editing program 41 and other setting values. When the automatic editing program 41 is started next time, the value of the margin value register 52 used last time is set again, so that the margin value once set can be used any number of times thereafter, which is convenient. In addition, if the carry-down value is also stored in the external storage device 19 as in the case of the margin value, the set value can be used when the program is terminated and the program is started again. It is convenient.

By executing the above program, it becomes possible to specify the margin value and the digit-increase value, which have been uniquely determined by the automatic editing program until now, according to the user's preference and purpose, and set once. The value will be available the next time you start the program.

As described above, in the document processing apparatus 10 of this embodiment, the program memory 32 of the RAM 13 stores the automatic editing program 41 for automatically editing, the recommended margin value 42, and the carry-down value 43. Then, the calculation memory 51 and the recommended margin value 42 are transferred and stored in the work memory 33, and the recommended margin value 42 is changed when the margin value is input by the input device 17. The margin value register 52 for storing the
4 is transferred and stored, and a carry-down value register 53 for changing and storing the carry-down value when the carry-down value is input by the input device 17 is provided. The margin setting value 43 of the working memory 32 is stored in the margin value register 52 of the work memory 33, and the carry-down value 44 is stored in the carry-down value register 53, respectively. When there is an input from the device 17, the value of the margin value register 52 and the value of the carry-down value register 53 of the work memory 33 are rewritten by the input set value, and the automatic editing is performed based on the rewritten value. , The value such as the margin value and the indent value at the time of automatic editing, which was uniquely fixed by the program until now, can be freely changed by the user's setting, and the set value By storing in the external storage device 19, the value set even when re-started after the completion of the program is available.

In the present embodiment, the change of the format value is the value of the carry-down value or the margin, but it is not limited to this, and other format setting values (for example, centering, padding, etc.) may be set. You can

In the present embodiment, the document processing apparatus 10 is applied to a Japanese word processor, but it is also applicable to all other apparatuses having a function of outputting document data, for example, personal computers. It goes without saying that you can do it.
