Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the work efficiency of documentation by turning on a power source with a floppy disk(FD) for system file set in a deck and automatically calling data recorded on the FD to a main body device to eliminate a need of the system call operation on a function select picture. CONSTITUTION:When the FD for system file is set in the deck of an FDD 8 by a user and the power source of the device is turned on, data stored in an EEPROM 4 is copied in a RAM area for condition setting of a RAM 5 in accordance with a need of automatic system call. Consequently, a system file is checked and data in the system file is called automatically when data copied in the RAM 5 requires the automatic system call. Thus, data in the system file is called during the start processing at the time of power-on.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a Japanese word processor as an information processing apparatus, generally, a user operates a keyboard to input document information such as characters and figures, and the document information is controlled by a control means. Then, the document is created by displaying it on the display.

Further, the Japanese word processor as described above has an FDD (Floppy Disk Dr) for recording / reproducing document information in units of floppy disks (hereinafter referred to as FD).

Returning to step 2, the function selection screen is displayed on the display.

[0004]

However, in the conventional system call process as described above, the "system call" must be selected / executed by a few touch key operations on the function selection screen immediately after the power of the device is turned on. For example, the data in the system file cannot be recalled to the main unit.

Therefore, there is a problem that the user has to perform a troublesome system call operation each time the device is used.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an information processing apparatus of the present invention comprises a medium driving means for driving a recording medium to reproduce data recorded on the recording medium. In the information processing apparatus including the control means for controlling the operation of the medium driving means, the following means are taken.

That is, when the power of the apparatus is turned on with the recording medium for the system file set in the medium driving means, the control means controls the medium driving means to record on the recording medium for the system file. The retrieved data is called to the main unit.

[0008]

According to the above construction, when the power of the apparatus is turned on with the recording medium for the system file set in the medium driving means, the control means automatically controls the medium driving means to control the system. The data recorded in the file recording medium is recalled to the main unit. Therefore, the data in the system file is called during the startup process when the power is turned on, and the troublesome key operation for calling the system becomes unnecessary.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The following will describe one embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, the information processing device is exemplified as a Japanese word processor.

As shown in FIG. 2, the Japanese word processor according to the present embodiment has a keyboard 6 for inputting document information such as characters and figures and a CRT (Cathode) for displaying document information by a user's key operation. Ray Tube) 7,

Each of 7, 8 and 9 is connected to a CPU 2 constituting a control means 1 described later via a controller (not shown),
Each operation is controlled.

Further, the Japanese word processor of this embodiment is provided with a control means 1 for controlling document information such as characters and figures in the main body. The control means 1 is a CPU (Central Proc) that is a main control unit that causes the operation of the entire apparatus to function.

Further, the Japanese word processor of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, has a RAM 5 constituting a storage unit 3.
In addition, the RAM area for condition setting, user dictionary, external characters,
And each buffer for learning data are formed.
Further, the EEPROM 4 forming the storage unit 3 is adapted to be written with data according to the necessity of automatic system call by the condition setting function. The data written in the EEPROM 4 is stored when the power of the apparatus is turned on. At the time of initial setting, the data is transferred to the RAM area for setting the condition of the RAM 5.

The automatic system calling process in the Japanese word processor of the present embodiment having the above-mentioned structure will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the following description, for convenience of description, the user has previously selected / executed the necessity of automatic system calling in the condition setting function, and the data corresponding to the necessity of automatic system calling has been written in the EEPROM 4. And

First, when an FD for a system file is set in the deck of the FDD 8 by the user (S1) and the power of the apparatus is turned on (S2), the automatic system call is required in accordance with this. The data stored in the EEPROM 4 is transferred to the RAM area for condition setting of the RAM 5.

Next, the RA for setting the conditions is set as described above.
It is determined whether or not the data written in the M area requires automatic system call (S3). When it is determined in S3 that the data in the RAM area does not require the automatic system call, the function selection screen is displayed on the CRT 7 and the system call process is terminated (S6). On the other hand, if it is determined in S3 that the data in the RAM area is the data that requires the automatic system call, it is next determined whether the FD for the system file is set in the deck of the FDD8. Determined (S
4).

In S4, if the FD for the system file is not set in the deck of the FDD8, the CRT
A function selection screen is displayed in 7 and the system call process is terminated (S6). On the other hand, in S4, if the FD for the system file is set in the deck of the FDD8, the FD for the system file is driven by the FDD8, and along with this, the user dictionary, external characters, and learning in the FD. The respective data items are transferred to the user dictionary, external character, and learning data buffers in the RAM 5, and the system call process is executed (S5). After that, the function selection screen is displayed on the CRT 7 and the system call process is terminated (S6).

As described above, the Japanese word processor according to the present embodiment is provided with the EEPROM 4 capable of writing the data according to the necessity of the automatic system call, and the data written in the EEPROM 4 is stored in the device. It is adapted to be written in the RAM 5 when the power is turned on and when the initialization is performed. When the data transferred to the RAM 5 is data that requires automatic system call, the system file check and the data call in the system file are automatically performed. There is.

For this reason, the system file is checked and the data in the system file is called during the startup process when the power is turned on. Therefore, it is not necessary to call the system on the function selection screen, and immediately after the power is turned on. In addition, users can create documents with user dictionaries, external characters, and learning data registered so far.

The above embodiment is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the data recorded in the FD for the system file includes the user dictionary, the external character, and the learning data, but the data is not particularly limited to these data.

[0020]

As described above, in the information processing apparatus of the present invention, the control means, when the power of the apparatus is turned on with the recording medium for the system file set in the medium driving means, the medium driving means. Is controlled to call the data recorded in the recording medium for the system file to the main body device.

As a result, since the data in the system file can be called during the startup process when the power is turned on, the operation of calling the system on the function selection screen as in the conventional example becomes unnecessary. Therefore, immediately after the power is turned on, it is possible to create a document with various data registered by the user so far, and it is possible to provide an information processing apparatus with improved document creation work efficiency. Play.
