FIG. 2B is a buffer in which information indicating the display start position (P) of the window is stored. Based on the coordinate value set here, the window is displayed at the position on the screen corresponding to that value. It The value of P is also set by the device user at the time of document input. In the case of the present embodiment, consider a rectangular coordinate system in which the upper left corner of the CRT 19 is the coordinate origin and the X coordinate is in the horizontal direction and the Y coordinate is in the vertical direction. FIG. 2C shows a buffer (IBUF) for storing document data which is data to be displayed in the window, and the document data input therein is expanded in the VRAM 23 according to the display mode designated by the control of the CPU 12. Displayed in window. When inputting a document, first, the characters input from the keyboard 11 are stored in the IBUF. When the IBUF becomes full with the character code, the data is transferred to the document data storage area (DS) 15 and the information displayed on the CRT screen is scrolled.

FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the coordinate values indicating the specific display start position, the vertical and horizontal display modes, and the actual window screen opened on the CRT 19. In FIG. 3, the value of the display start position (P) of the window is P (5,3). This window is a title window that displays the title of the document. Here, FIG. 3A is a window screen when the display mode is the horizontal mode, and FIG. 3B is a window screen when the display mode is the vertical mode.

In the horizontal mode, the window is opened such that the upper left corner of the window screen is located at the position indicated by the value of the display start position (P) as shown in FIG. Display document data as a position. Further, in the vertical mode, as shown in FIG. 3B, the vertical window 24 is opened such that the upper left corner of the vertical window screen is located at the position indicated by the display start position (P), and the vertical window is opened from that position. The document data is displayed with the point on the right side of the width (W) of the window for use as the reference position for document display.

Next, the document input and display processing executed by using the document processing apparatus having the above-mentioned configuration will be described with reference to the text display examples shown in FIGS. 4 to 5 and the flowchart shown in FIG. It should be noted that this description will focus on the document display processing in the vertical mode, and the processing in the horizontal mode follows the well-known technique and will not be described. Further, in the following description, the document data is input by the device user from the keyboard 11 and IBUF is input.
It is assumed that the display mode, the window display position, the window size, etc. necessary for the processing have already been set by the keyboard 11 or the like.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a window display example when the display mode is the horizontal mode, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a window display example when the display mode is the vertical mode.

First, in step S1, the value set in the vertical / horizontal display mode switching flag (IFLG) is checked to determine whether the display mode is the vertical mode or the horizontal mode. Here, if it is determined that the display mode is the horizontal mode, the process proceeds to step S100, and the document data display process is executed based on a known technique. On the contrary,
If it is determined that the display mode is the vertical mode, the process proceeds to step S2.

In step S2, the coordinate value of the display start position (P) set in the display start position buffer is read out,
In step S3, the document display reference position is calculated based on the value of P and the value of the width (W) of the vertical window.
This reference position is the coordinate value of the upper right corner of the vertical window. Next, in step S4, the vertical window 24 having the size of the horizontal width (W) of the vertical window and the vertical width (L) of the vertical window based on the point P is opened. At this time, the reference position calculated in step S3 is set in the cursor register (CR) 16. At the same time, the head address of the document data storage area (DS) 15 in which the document data is stored is set in the data head register (HR) 17.

Further, in step S5, when the user of the apparatus inputs characters from the keyboard 11, the data is stored in the display data buffer (IBUF). In step S5, the document data stored in the display data buffer (IBUF) is expanded in the VRAM 23. At this time, the title of the document is the VRAM 2 corresponding to the area in which the vertical window 24 is defined with reference to the position indicated by the cursor register (CR) 16 set in step S4.
In the area within 3, the sentences are expanded from top to bottom and right to left. At the same time, the value indicated by the cursor register (CR) 16 is also counted up according to the development of the sentence.

When the title of the document is completely expanded in the VRAM 23, the value of the cursor register (CR) 16 is C.
It is set to a value indicating the upper right corner on RT19. at the same time,
In the data head register (HR) 17, the head address of the text part 32 of the document data storage area (DS) 15 is set. Thereafter, with reference to the position indicated by the cursor register (CR) 16 (upper right end of the CRT 19), the text is expanded on the VRAM 23 so as to continue from top to bottom and from right to left in accordance with the data key-in.

After the expansion onto the VRAM 23 is completed in this way, the process proceeds to step S6 and the VRAM 23 to C
The information is transferred to the RT 19 and the document data is displayed on the screen 25 as shown in FIG.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, according to the display mode specified when the document data is displayed, when the display mode is the vertical mode, the vertical display is performed so that the sentence continues from top to bottom and from right to left. be able to.

In this embodiment, the case of displaying in the horizontal window in the horizontal mode and the vertical window in the vertical mode has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the window display mode can be switched by adding processing such as pressing the vertical / horizontal window switching key and changing the value of the vertical / horizontal display mode switching flag (IFLG). As a result, the windows can be mixed in the vertical and horizontal display modes regardless of the document display mode, and the window display mode can be manually switched to the horizontal mode or the vertical mode.

Further, although the present embodiment has described only the document input display processing according to the display mode, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, according to the display mode, the present invention can be applied to the case where the document data stored in the RAM or the external storage device (HD, FD) is read out and displayed on the CRT. In this case, the process of step S5 described above is not data input from the keyboard but data reading from the storage device.

The present invention may be applied to a system composed of a plurality of devices or an apparatus composed of one device. Further, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to the case where it is achieved by supplying a program to a system or an apparatus.
