[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creating apparatus capable of pasting image data read by an image reading apparatus such as an image scanner into a created document.

[0002]

2. 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,
As described in Japanese Patent Application 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.

As another related technique, after the image area is created, an image input from the scanner is instructed on the image editing screen, a required range is designated from the read image information, and the image is written in the document. There was something to input image data.

[0005]

However, in the first conventional technique, consideration is given to how to paste the image data read by the image reading device into a document including characters and figures. Was not done.

In the second prior art, although it is possible to import the image into a document, it is necessary to create an image area before inputting an image. When the range of information exceeds the range of the image area, there is a problem in that the size of the image area must be enlarged again and the image must be input again.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to perform a manual cutting and pasting work by allowing the cutting range of the image designated by the user to be pasted into the document as it is when the image data is taken into the document. An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation apparatus that can be operated with the same feeling and can input an image by a simple procedure.

A second object of the present invention is to re-input a simple procedure even if it is desired to re-read an image that has already been input when the image data is taken in. It is to provide a possible document creation device.

[0009]

The above object is to provide an input unit for inputting described elements such as characters, key lines, figures, and images described in a document, a storage unit for storing the inputted data, and In a document creating apparatus including a display unit that displays data stored in a storage unit and a control unit that controls various types of editing so that the data stored in the storage unit is formatted as a document When the image is cut and pasted, the image data input by the input unit is displayed on the display unit, and according to the display, a cutting range designating unit for designating a necessary range, and a creation range stored in the storage unit. Of the document data is displayed on the display unit, and according to this display, an image for designating which position in the document to paste the range designated by the cut-out range designating means Image area setting means and image data input by the input section, the image data in the range specified by the cutout range specifying means is extracted, and the extracted image data is specified by the image area setting means. This is achieved by equipping the document creation apparatus with an image formal input means for taking in as document data at different positions and an image input control section for controlling the respective means.

In the second object, further, an input mode designating means for designating a new input of an image or a re-input for an already created image area, and an already created image area are designated. Image area designating means for controlling the image input control section, and the image input control section is further configured such that, when re-input is designated by the input mode designating means, the image input control section This is achieved by formal inputting an image in the area designated by the image area designating means without designating.

[0011]

The image input control unit first specifies the required range from the image data input by the input unit when the image information is cut and pasted into the document by the cut range specifying means, and then, The image area setting means specifies the position in the document where the range specified by the cut-out range specifying means is to be pasted, and the image formal input means selects from the image data input by the input section, Since the image data in the range designated by the cutting range designating means is extracted and the extracted image data is taken in as the document data at the position designated by the image area setting means, it is as simple as the manual cutting and pasting work. The image can be input by the procedure.

Further, the image input control unit designates, by the input mode designating means, whether to newly input an image or to re-input the image area already created. When the re-input is designated, the image area is controlled. By designated means
Since the image area that has already been created is specified and 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.

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 and the character is input and edited (step 1
05), if a graphic is instructed, the graphic control unit 53
To perform 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 20
7). 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 2).
05). If cancellation is instructed in step 202 or when the image area is designated (step 203), the image input function ends. Now, when the setting of the input condition is completed in steps 205 to 207, in order to specify the image to be cut on the screen next,
First, the temporary reading of the image data is performed to create the temporary reading image data 39 (step 208), which is displayed on the screen (step 209), and the cut range is designated for the displayed temporary reading image data (step). 21
0). 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). At this time, each time the clipping frame is moved or resized, information on the clipping frame is stored in the frame cursor management data 40 (step 211). Next, when execution is instructed after setting the cut range of the temporary reading data (step 21
2) 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 paste destination of the image is designated there (step 216). .. on the other hand,
When the cancellation is instructed in step 212, the process returns to the input condition setting (step 205). 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 is initially displayed (FIG. 11). Then, the user moves the pasting frame to the position where the pasting frame is to be pasted (see FIG. 1).
2) By changing the size (Figs. 13 to 1)
6) Specify the paste destination for 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 217). In addition, when resizing the pasting frame of the image, if the size of the pasting frame is smaller than the size of the initial display frame in the normal size mode and the enlargement / reduction ratio specification mode, the initial display frame is pasted. When the size of the pasting frame is larger than the size of the initial display frame, the initial display frame is displayed so as to be positioned in the center of the pasting frame (Fig. 1).
5). 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. (FIG. 27), the area attribute is set (step 220). Further, when the cancellation is instructed in step 218, the temporary reading image data is displayed again (step 209), and the cutting range of the temporary reading image data is designated.
Return to (step 210). Next, after selecting the area attribute item and instructing execution (step 221), the input information is stored in the area attribute management data 38 (step 2).
22) After the formal reading of the image data (step 223), 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, the document configuration data 31 After the image data 34 is created (step 224) and the layout of the document being created is displayed (step 225), the continuous input selection screen is displayed (FIG. 28) and continuous input is designated (step 226). Further, if the cancellation is instructed in step 221, the document being created is displayed again (step 2
15), specify the paste destination of the image (step 216)
Return to. Now, in the continuous input designation (step 226),
It is possible to specify whether or not to continue inputting images, and when inputting further, it is possible to cut out the image read in step 208, "Continue (same image)".
And there are two types of "continuation (new image)" that can be cut for a new image. 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 in the document being created as an image area, it is 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 and the input condition is set.
(Step 205), the image input process can be performed again from the beginning. 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, the 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 with reference to FIGS. 1, 4 and 21 to 28. To do.

In the image editing process, "new creation" in which a new image area is first created and edited 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 unit, and then the 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 specified is specified, and the image is read based on such information. Image input is possible with the same simple procedure.

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), it is possible to select whether or not to continuously input the image after the first image input is completed, 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 inputted when consecutively inputted,
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. When the image is further enlarged or reduced, the magnification is designated or the paste 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.

[0030]

As described above, according to the present invention, the image input control unit, first, cuts and pastes the image information into the document by the cut-out range designating unit, and the image data input by the input unit Specify the required range from the inside, then specify the position in the document where the range specified by the cut-out range specifying means will be pasted by the image area setting means, and input by the image official input means. Since the image data in the range designated by the cutting range designating means is extracted from the image data input by the section, and the extracted image data is captured as document data at the position designated by the image area setting means. As with the manual cutting and pasting work, it is possible to input images in the same simple procedure.

Further, the image input control unit designates, by the input mode designating means, whether to newly input an image or to re-enter the already created image area. If re-input is designated, the image area is controlled. By designated means
Since the image area that has already been created is specified and 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.
