Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily grasp the positional relation between the sentences and the image data and to omit the shift of the data once stuck by deciding the position of the image data to be stuck on the basis of a cursor included in the sentence data and also varying the distance between the areas of both data. CONSTITUTION:A placement standard setting means 6 is added to a CPU 1 to set the cursor position in the sentence when the image data are stuck and also to vary the distance between the areas of both data based on the cursor position together with a confirming display means part 7 which shows the layout of the corresponding negative elements to enable a user to previously confirm the layout before a sticking instruction is carried out. Then the image data produced previously are stuck on a document input screen with the mutual positional relation kept with the present cursor position, and the layout of a single page is shown by a confirmation key when the image data are stuck. Thus the image data can be stuck into the sentence data in a simple way and with high accuracy.

Reference numeral 52 is a display device such as a CRT or LCD, 53 is an input unit such as a keyboard, 54 is data created by an input pen or mouse, and image data is read by a scanner or the like. , 55b is an image data buffer for storing the created image data and the read image data, 55c is a dictionary section,
Further, it is collectively referred to as a storage unit 55 including a control program and the like.

FIG. 6 (1) shows an image creation screen. Display the image data created by inputting from the keyboard, the mouse, the trag operation with the input pen, the image data read by the scanner, etc. on the screen,
When the paste key of the function is pressed, the paste mode is entered. FIG. 6 (2) shows an operation of actually pasting image data in a sentence. The image data is automatically pasted at a certain position from the cursor, and once pasted, the pasted data is moved, I took it to the final position. (Fig. 6 (2) A, B)

[0006]

In the conventional text editing device, when image data is pasted into a sentence, it is automatically pasted at a fixed position from the cursor. It was not possible for the user to arbitrarily select whether the reference point (upper left apex) was pasted. In addition, there is no display function for prior confirmation for displaying the layout when the image data is pasted before executing the pasting command and allowing the user to confirm the layout.

From the above, when pasting the image data in the text, the pasting command is executed, the task is actually pasted, and the task is moved again to the place designated by the user, which is troublesome twice. . In addition to that, moving the image data requires a lot of labor because the key operation is basically different compared to the case of moving the character.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, and is a text editing apparatus comprising a text input means, a bit image input means, a text editing means, and a layout display means. , When arranging the bit image data in the text data, a placement reference setting means that can vary the distance between the two areas with the cursor position of the text as a reference, and the corresponding page of the page when actually placed. It is a text editing device having a confirmation display means for enabling prior confirmation by displaying a state.

[0009]

With the above configuration, in the image data to be placed in the text data, the position of the image data to be pasted is based on the cursor in the text data and the distance between the two areas can be varied, so that the text and the image data are Since it is easy to understand the positional relationship and the layout can be confirmed on the confirmation display before executing the pasting, it is not necessary to move the pasted data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details will be described below based on the embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to these examples.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the device of the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a CPU (central processing unit) that executes a program. Reference numeral 2 is a display device such as a CRT or LCD, 3 is an input unit such as a keyboard, 4 is an image data input unit for reading data created by an input pen or a mouse, or data is read by a scanner or the like, and 5a is input and processed. A text buffer for storing characters and the like, 5b is an image data buffer for storing created image data and read image data, 5c is a storage unit 5 including a dictionary section, a control program, and the like. When the image data is pasted, the CPU 1 determines which page the corresponding page is before the execution of the pasting command and the placement reference setting unit 6 that can change the distance between the areas based on the cursor position of the sentence. A confirmation display unit 7 is additionally set to display whether or not the layout is to be displayed and to make the user confirm in advance.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the device of the present invention.

FIG. 2A shows an image creation screen.

Image data created by inputting from the keyboard, dragging with the mouse or the input pen, image data read by the scanner, etc. are displayed on the screen, and the paste mode of the function is pressed to enter the paste mode. Become.

2 (2) and 2 (3) show pasting operation screens. Image data created immediately before the current cursor position on the document input screen is pasted while maintaining the mutual positional relationship (FIG. 2 (2) A, C). A one-page layout when pasted as image data with a confirmation key (not shown) is displayed (Fig. 2
(2) B).

If the position is wrong after confirmation in the confirmation layout display, move the cursor (FIG. 2 (3) D), paste the supporting image data (FIG. 2 (3) F) and confirm again (FIG. 2 (3) F).
(3) F) If this is acceptable, the paste command is actually executed with the execution key (not shown).

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the operation of the present invention.

First, when the image data is completely created, the image data is opened at 31. If the wait key is pressed in 32 and the end key is pressed, 33 is executed to close the data and return to the initial screen. If the paste key is pressed in 32, the document input screen is displayed in 34, the key operation is waited for in 35, and 36 if the cursor movement key is pressed.
Press to move the cursor in the document, and wait for key operation again at 35. If the paste key is pressed in 35, the image data is stored in the sentence buffer in 37. Next, at 38, the image data is closed and the process ends. If the confirmation key is pressed after pressing the paste key in 35, the layout is displayed in 39, and if waiting for key operation is pressed in 40, 4 is pressed.
After returning to the normal screen display at 1, the operation waits for the key operation at 35.

Even if no operation key is pressed within a predetermined time at 40, the operation waits for the key operation at 35 as in the above case.

FIG. 4 shows one of the embodiments of the present invention, which is a method of calculating a position when pasting image data.

First, the size of pasting is set to the same size as the image data (the magnification may be set arbitrarily).

Next, in the horizontal direction of the screen, the number of dots of the character at the cursor position and the inter-character dot are multiplied by the cursor position from the left end. In the screen vertical direction, the number of lines from the beginning of the page of the cursor is multiplied by the line feed pitch (Fig. 4 (1)). Incidentally, FIG.
The left side of the equation (1) is a set value of the distance between the two, and by arbitrarily selecting a numerical value other than 0, the distance between the cursor position and the base point (upper left apex portion) of the image data can be changed. Further, when the image data protrudes from the frame of one page by the above-mentioned operation, the image data is automatically inserted so that the reference point is the position where the width of the image data is subtracted from the right end (FIG. 4 (2)). The same processing is performed when it extends beyond the bottom edge.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily and accurately paste image data into text data. Besides, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and it goes without saying that the present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0025]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION In the image data to be arranged in the text data, the position of the image data to be pasted is based on the cursor in the text data, and the distance between the two areas can be varied, so that the text and the image data are combined. It is not necessary to move the pasted data because the positional relationship is easy to grasp and the layout can be confirmed on the confirmation display before executing the pasting. Therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce labor by eliminating the need for complicated operations as in the conventional case.
