Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus including a word processor for general document creation and editing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of document editing apparatus, an editing control section is composed only of a general editing control section, and an editing control section is composed of a general editing control section and a secret editing control section. There is. However, even in the latter case, the secret control is effective only in the range of one document unit (different from a certain arbitrary area in one document).

[0003]

In the above-described conventional document editing apparatus, since there is no secret editing function for making the range of certain specific arbitrary document information visible or invisible, the following artificial work is performed. There was a problem that the target document could not be created unless the above was performed, which was very inefficient.

(1) With respect to a document into which all the completed document information is input, a part of the document information within a certain arbitrary range is deleted, erased, moved by the general document control unit, etc. In order to make it invisible, it was necessary to eliminate the document information in that range. This is a very cumbersome operation and has the drawback of having to temporarily destroy the completed document.

(2) When it is not desired to temporarily destroy a document in which all document information once completed is input,
Copy the completed document to create two documents with the same document information.
It is conceivable that one document may be created in advance and some of the document information within a certain specific arbitrary range may be deleted for either document. However, this method increases the number of documents, so
There is a drawback that the management of the document becomes difficult and a drawback that the storage capacity of the auxiliary storage device for storing the document information increases.

An object of the present invention is to provide a document editing apparatus having a secret editing function, which solves the above drawbacks.

[0007]

A document editing apparatus according to the present invention includes a document to be newly created and proofread (character information,
(Including graphic information, image information, etc.) An input control unit including an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse for inputting information, and a display for visualizing document information input from the input control unit A display control unit equipped with a device and the like, receives document information from the input control unit and determines whether it is general document editing or secret editing, and depending on the determination result, general document editing or secret editing. It is characterized by comprising an edit control unit for performing the above, and a storage control unit including an auxiliary storage device such as a disk for storing document information to be newly created and proofread.

The edit control section executes a general document edit (insert, delete, move, etc.) when the document information from the input control section is instructed to execute a general document edit. When the document information from the input control unit is instructed to execute secret editing, for making visible and invisible information editable in a certain specific arbitrary area of document information to be visualized. It consists of a secret edit control unit.

When the document information from the input control unit is instructed to execute secret editing, the secret editing control unit determines whether or not the instruction is setting of invisible information, and When it is a setting instruction, the information in the invisible designated area in the original document information is temporarily erased.

[0010]

In the document editing device with the secret editing function of the present invention, the general document editing control unit enables general document editing with respect to the document information visualized by using the display control unit, and the secret editing is performed. The control unit makes it possible to edit visible and invisible information in a specific arbitrary visible document information area, and visualize based on the document information processed by such general document editing and secret editing. Only the document information of the power part can be visualized on the screen of the display device or the like.

[0011]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

The input control unit 1 is a keyboard (including a mouse) 11 for inputting document information (character information, graphic information, image information, etc.) to be newly created and proofread.
A keyboard control unit 12 for controlling the keyboard 11, a disk device 13 for enabling registration or expansion of document information to be newly created and proofread,
It is calibrated by the file controller 14 for controlling the input / output of the disk device 13.

The editing control unit 2 includes a general document editing control unit 21.
The general document editing control unit 21 enables general document editing (insertion, deletion, movement, etc.) based on the execution instruction information input from the keyboard 11. The secret edit control unit 22 uses the secret information (either visible information or invisible information) input from the keyboard 11 for a specific arbitrary document information area based on the execution instruction information input from the keyboard 11. Originally secret edit (In the case of visible information, the document information is not processed,
In the case of invisible information, it has a role of temporarily erasing the document information in the designated area).

The display control unit 3 sends to the display device 4 the document information processed by the general document editing and the secret editing in the editing control unit 2. The display device 4 visualizes the document information sent from the display control unit 3.

FIG. 2 shows an example of one document before the secret edit, which is a feature of the present invention, is visualized with all the document information input by the user.

FIG. 3 shows that the invisible information is set in a specific arbitrary area based on the document example of FIG. This is a visualization of document information when an instruction to execute secret edition, which is a feature of the invention, is made visible, in which the item field of the assessment value visualized in FIG. 2 disappears.

FIG. 4 shows a processing flow from the expansion of the original document information to the secret editing and the visualization on the display device 4 for the specific examples shown in FIGS.

First, in step S1, the document information for which general document editing and secret editing are desired is developed. In step S2, it is checked whether or not there is a general document edit execution instruction, and if there is a general document edit execution instruction, it is executed (step S3) to process the original document.

Next, in step S4, it is checked whether or not there is a secret edit execution instruction. If there is a secret edit execution instruction, it is checked whether or not the instruction is invisible information setting (step S5).
If it is not the instruction of the invisible information, nothing is done and the secret editing is ended, but if it is the instruction of the invisible information, the original document information in the invisible designated area of the original document information is temporarily erased (step S6). .. Then, information transfer for enabling visualization of the original document information processed as described above is performed (step S7). This transfer information is displayed on the display device 4 (step S8).

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, general document editing that enables conventional general document editing (insertion, deletion, movement, etc.) for document information to be newly created or proofread is performed. In addition to the control unit, by providing a secret edit control unit capable of editing visible and invisible information with respect to a certain specific arbitrary region of document information to be visualized, the following effects are obtained.

(1) There is an effect that it is possible to easily create a document in which a certain arbitrary area is made secret (meaning invisible state) without destroying the completed document. This is a document editing device which is extremely effective particularly for creating document information including confidential information.
