Description of the Related Art In a document preparation device such as a word processor, not only character data but also various data such as key lines and figures can be mixed to prepare a document. Recently, it has become possible to input image data such as photographs and illustrations into a document using an image reading device such as an image scanner. Conventionally, regarding the input of image data, there is
As described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-120557, there is a method in which an input image is temporarily displayed on the screen at the time of image input and a partial area is designated on the screen. In addition, as another related technology, after creating the image area, instruct the image input from the scanner on the image edit screen, specify the required range from the read image information, and place the image data in the document. There was something to enter.

[0003]

However, in the first conventional technique, the size of the image data read by the image reading device is pasted in a document including characters and figures. Was not considered.

Further, in the second prior art, although it is possible to specify the magnification and change the size when inputting into the document, it is automatically performed according to the size of the area to be pasted. It was not taken into consideration that it would be scaled up or down. Also, since it is necessary to create an image area before inputting an image, if the range of image information that you try to read exceeds the range of the image area, temporarily enlarge the size of the image area. There was a problem that you had to correct it and input the image again.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to allow the image cutting range specified by the user to be pasted into the document as it is when the image data is taken into the document, and to specify the magnification at the time of pasting. Or by automatically scaling according to the paste size,
It can be operated with the same feeling as manual cutting and pasting work,
In addition, the object is to provide a document creation apparatus capable of changing the magnification when an image is input by a simple procedure.

Next, 5 is a control unit such as a microprocessor for controlling each of the above-mentioned units. The control unit further includes an edit control unit 51 for controlling creation and editing of various documents, a character control unit 52, and a graphic control. There are a unit 53, an image input control unit 54, an image edit control unit 55, a frame cursor control unit 56, and the like. Here, the character control unit 52 controls the editing of the text data 32, and similarly, the graphic control unit 53.
The graphic data 33, the image input control unit 54, and the image edit control unit 55 control the image data 34, and the frame cursor 56 controls the frame cursor management data 40, respectively.
Next, 6 is an output unit such as a printer for printing the input contents.

Next, the creation / editing of a document in the Japanese word processor of this embodiment will be described.

First, in the initial state, when the operator gives an instruction to newly create a document or update an existing document, the edit control section 51 is first activated. The process at this time will be described with reference to FIG.

The edit control unit 51 first determines whether the operator's instruction is new creation or document update. In the case of new creation, the document data is initialized and a document of only one page is created as initial data. In the case of document update, the document data to be updated is called from the storage unit 3 (step 10).
1). Next, the edit control unit 51 displays the layout of the document on the display unit 2 (step 102), and waits for an edit instruction from the input unit 1 (step 103, FIG. 5). If there is an input from the input unit 1, the content is judged by the edit control unit 51 (step 104), and if a character is designated, the character control unit 5
2 is started to input and edit characters (step 1
05), if a graphic is instructed, the graphic control unit 53
To start figure input and edit processing (step 10
6) If the image input is instructed, the image input control unit 54 is activated to perform the image input processing (step 107), and if the image editing is instructed, the image edit control unit 55 is activated. Then, the image is edited (step 108). Also, the above input,
When the end is instructed in each edit process,
The layout is displayed (step 102), and the editing instruction from the input unit 1 is waited again (step 103). When the end of document editing is instructed in the determination of the input in step 104, the editing is ended (step 109) such that the created document data is stored in the storage unit 3, and the document editing is ended.

Next, the image input process (step 107) for directly reading an image on the layout screen will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 3, 8 to 20, and 26 to 28.

First, when the image input process is designated,
A new image is read and pasted on the document is selected, or a new input is performed on an already created image area (step 201, FIG. 6). When new input is selected (step 202), the input condition setting screen is displayed (FIG. 26), and the dot density and density of the image to be read, the paper direction, and the pasting magnification information are set (step 205). .. After the input condition is designated, when the execution is instructed (step 206), the input condition is stored in the input condition management data 35 (step 207).
On the other hand, if cancellation is instructed in step 206, the process returns to step 201. If re-input is specified in step 202, after specifying the image area to be re-input (step 203), when execution is instructed (step 204), input condition setting is performed (step 205).
If cancellation is instructed in step 202 or when the image area is designated (step 203), the image input function ends. Now, step 205 to step 207
When the setting of the input conditions is completed in, the temporary reading of the image data is first performed to specify the image to be cut on the screen next, the temporary reading image data 39 is created (step 208), and the screen is displayed. The image is displayed above (step 209) and the cutout range is designated for the displayed temporary reading image data (step 210). To specify the cropping range, first, within the range (referred to as the basic area) excluding the margins of the created document, the frame cursor with the maximum size for creating the image area is initially displayed as the cropping frame (Fig. 8). By moving the frame or changing the size, the user specifies the range to be cut out from the image displayed on the screen (FIG. 9). On this occasion,
Every time the cut frame is moved or resized, information on the cut frame is stored in the frame cursor management data 40 (step 211). Next, after setting the cut range of temporary reading data,
When execution is instructed (step 212), the contents of the frame cursor management data 40 are stored in the cut frame management data 36 (step 213), the layout of the document being created is displayed (step 215), and the image is pasted there. A destination is designated (step 216). On the other hand, if cancellation is instructed in step 212, input condition setting (step 205)
Return to. In the case of specifying the paste destination, first, in the case of the normal size mode and the automatic enlargement / reduction calculation mode, the cut frame that has been cut out is initially displayed in the same size as the paste frame on the document being created (FIG. 10). On the other hand, in the case of the enlargement / reduction ratio designation mode, the cropping frame is corrected to the enlarged or reduced size with respect to the designated ratio and initially displayed (FIG. 1).
1). Then, the user moves the pasting frame to the position where the pasting frame is to be pasted (Fig. 12) and changes the size (Figs. 13 to 16) to specify the pasting destination in the created document. (FIG. 17). At that time, each time the paste frame is moved or resized, the information of the paste frame is stored in the frame cursor management table 40 (step 21).
7). Also, when changing the size of the frame where the image is pasted, in the normal size mode and the enlargement / reduction ratio specification mode,
When the size of the pasting frame is smaller than the size of the initial display frame, the initial display frame is displayed so as to be aligned with the upper left of the pasting frame (Fig. 13), and the size of the pasting frame is larger than the size of the initial display frame. At this time, the initial display frame is displayed so as to be located at the center of the pasting frame (FIG. 15). In the case of the automatic enlargement / reduction calculation mode, the cut image is enlarged / reduced according to the size of the pasting frame and displayed (FIGS. 14 and 16). Next, when execution is instructed after determining the image pasting destination (step 218), the contents of the frame cursor management data 40 are stored in the pasting frame management data 37 (step 219), and the area attribute change screen is displayed. Shi
(FIG. 27), the area attribute is set (step 220).
When the cancellation is instructed in step 218, the temporary reading image data is displayed again (step 209), and the process returns to the temporary reading image data cutting range specification (step 210). Next, after selecting the area attribute item, when execution is instructed (step 221), the input information is stored in the area attribute management data 38 (step 222), and after officially reading the image data (step 221). 223), the document configuration data 31 and the image data 34 are created based on the input condition management data 35, the cut frame management data 36, the pasting frame management data 37, and the area attribute management data 38 (step 224), and the document being created. After the layout display is displayed (step 225), the continuous input selection screen is displayed (FIG. 28), and continuous input is designated (step 226).
In addition, if cancellation is instructed in step 221, the document being created is displayed again (step 215) and the process returns to the designation of the image pasting destination (step 216). Now, in the continuous input designation (step 226), it is possible to designate whether or not the image is continuously input. When the continuous input is further performed, it is possible to cut the image read in step 208, "continuation (same image)". And "continuation (new image)" that can be cut for a new image 2
There are types. When "continue (same image)" is designated (step 227), the temporary reading data is displayed by the original temporary reading image data 39 (step 209), and the cutting range can be designated again for the image. (Step 210). Further, at this time, by copying the contents of the cut frame management data 36 to the frame cursor management data 40, the cut frame is initially displayed at the same position as the frame having the same size as the previous cut (FIG. 9). Therefore, if you want to cut out illustrations of the same size and orderly from the same drawing, you can cut the arranged illustrations to the same size simply by moving the frame cursor vertically and horizontally (Fig. 18). .. Also, when pasting it (step 216), since the previously created image is already displayed as an image area in the document being created,
It will be possible to paste while looking at the position of the image. When "continue (new image)" is specified (step 227), the input condition setting screen (Fig. 26) is displayed, the input condition is set (step 205), and the image input process is performed again from the beginning. You can Therefore, even if it is desired to continuously cut out images from different drawings, the cutting can be continuously performed. When "end of function" is specified, the image input process ends.

Next, an image editing process (step 108) of first creating an image area and reading and editing the image at the time of editing in the area will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 4 and 21 to 28. To do.

In the image editing process, "new creation" in which an image area is newly created and edited first and "update" in which a previously created image area is updated and edited can be selected (step 301, FIG. 7). ). When "New" is selected, the position of the image area is first set (step 302, FIG. 21), and after the position is confirmed, execution is instructed (step 303), and the area attribute setting screen (FIG. 2) is displayed.
7) is displayed and the area attribute is set (step 30).
4). If the cancellation is instructed in step 303, the image editing process ends. When the execution is instructed after setting the area attribute (step 305), the document configuration data 31 and the image data 34 are updated (step 306), and the image edit screen is displayed (step 307, FIG. 24). For editing, you can enter new image, edit data, or select edit end. This image editing screen allows image editing within the size of the newly created image area (FIG. 22). Further, if the cancellation is instructed in step 305, the position of the area can be set again (step 302). If "update" is selected in step 301, execution of the image area is designated after designating the image area to be updated (step 310).
The image edit screen is displayed (step 307) and the image area edit can be selected. Also on the image editing screen at this time, image editing can be performed within the range of the size of the updated image area. Further, when the cancellation is instructed in step 310, the image editing process ends. Next, the image area editing will be described. When a new image input is selected, the input condition setting screen is displayed (FIG. 26), the input conditions are set (step 311), and when the execution is instructed, the image data is officially read (step 313). , Display the read data (step 31
4), specify the cutting range (step 315, FIG. 2)
3). If the user gives a cancel instruction in step 311, the image edit screen is displayed again (step 307) and the process returns to the selection of image area edit. When the execution is instructed after the cutout range is designated (step 315), the cutout data is displayed (step 317), and the process returns to the selection of the image area edit (step 307). If cancellation is instructed by the input determination in step 315, the input condition setting screen (FIG. 26) is displayed and the input condition is set again (step 311). If data editing is selected when selecting image area editing (step 308), data editing processing such as image movement and copying is performed (step 318). When this is finished, the image edit screen is again displayed (step 307), and the edit of the image area can be selected. Further, when the edit end is selected in the input judgment of the image area edit selection (step 308), the image data 34 is created (step 319), and the image edit is completed (FIG. 25).

From the above, when the image input process (step 107) is used, first, when the cutting range is designated (step 210), the required range is designated from the image data input from the input section, Next, when the image paste destination is specified (step 216), the position in the document where the range specified by the cut range specification is to be pasted is specified, and the image is read based on such information. Image input is possible with the same simple procedure as the cutting and pasting work.

Further, the image input control unit can specify a new input of an image or a re-input for an already created image area by designating an input mode (step 201), and the re-input is designated. in case of,
Specify the already created image area (Step 2
03), since the image is officially input to the specified image area, even if you want to read again the already input image,
Re-entry is possible with a simple procedure.

In the continuous input designation (step 226), after the first image input is completed, it is possible to select whether or not to continuously input the image, and the next image can be continuously input. If you want to read a large amount of data, you can easily operate.

Further, in the continuous input designation (step 226), if the same image is input, if it is input continuously,
It is possible to specify whether to input a new image, and according to the specified contents, the image input control unit 54 does not specify the image input condition when the same image is specified.
Re-execution is started from the cut-out range specification by the cut-out range specification, and when a new image is specified, it is executed again from the image input condition specification, so that there are a plurality of figures on one sheet of paper. In such a case, since it is not necessary to read the same image many times, it is possible to input images of a plurality of figures with good operability.

Further, continuous input designation (step 226)
When the input of the same image is specified by, the cut range specification displays the range that was cut last time as the initial condition of the cut range, so there are multiple figures on one sheet and When it is desired to cut out the same size with respect to the drawing, the cutting can be performed only by a simple operation such as moving the cutting range.

The magnification can be designated to retain the original size or to be enlarged or reduced at the time of inputting an image. For further enlargement or reduction, the magnification is designated or the pasting range is set. You can specify whether to automatically scale according to. Further, in the formal reading of image data (step 223), since the image is read according to the mode designated by the magnification designation, it can be operated in the same sense as a manual cutting and pasting work, and at the time of image input by a simple procedure. It is possible to change the magnification.

Further, designation of an image pasting destination (step 2)
16) calculates the size of the pasting range according to the size specified by the cutting range specification (step 210) and the magnification specified by the image input condition setting, and sets the frame of the calculated size as the initial value. Since it is displayed, you can see at a glance how large it is actually read. This also makes it easier to understand the relative relationship with the created document.

When a mode other than the automatic scaling mode is designated in the image input condition setting, the image pasting destination is designated (step 216). If the pasting range is larger than the cutting range, the center position of the cutting range is pasted. The cutting range is centered and displayed separately from the pasting range so that it coincides with the center position of the pasting range, and when the pasting range is larger than the cutting range, the cutting range is set to the center of the pasting range. So that it is positioned, enter a white dot in the empty area around the cutting range, and if the pasting range is smaller than the cutting range, position it so that the cutting range touches the upper left of the pasting range. Sometimes, the cutout area is input with the part outside the pasted area deleted, so paste the cutout image into the created document. Kicking at the time, also by changing the cut scope and size, in a way that was commensurate with the paste size, it is possible to easily image input.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention, the pasting magnification can be designated to retain the original size or to be enlarged or reduced at the time of inputting an image. When doing so, it is possible to specify whether to specify the scale factor or to automatically enlarge or reduce according to the pasting range.

Further, in the formal image input, since the image is input according to the mode designated by the pasting magnification designation, it is possible to operate in the same sense as the manual cutting and pasting work, and the image input is performed by a simple procedure. Sometimes it is possible to change the magnification.

Further, the image pasting destination is specified by calculating the size of the pasting range according to the size designated by the cutting range designation and the magnification designated by the image input condition setting means. Since the frame is displayed as the initial value, it is possible to see at a glance how large the frame is actually read. This also makes it easier to understand the relative relationship with the created document.

When a mode other than the automatic scaling mode is specified in the image input condition setting, the image area setting is such that when the pasting range is different from the cutting range, the center position of the cutting range is the center position of the pasting range. The cutting range is displayed by centering it separately from the pasting range so that it coincides with, and when the pasting range of the image is larger than the cutting range, the cutting range is located at the center of the pasting range. If you enter a white dot in the empty area around the cutting range and the pasting range is smaller than the cutting range, when the cutting range is located at the center of the pasting range, the cutting range will be the pasting range. Since the input is done with the part that protrudes from the part removed, change the cut range and size when pasting the cut image into the created document. , In the form commensurate with the paste size,
You can easily enter an image.
