[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ruled line selecting device, and more particularly, to selecting a ruled line to be edited in a workstation, personal computer, word processor or the like having functions of document editing, spreadsheet, form editing and the like. The present invention relates to a suitable ruled line selection device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The applicant of the present application is the Japanese Patent Application No. 14981 of 1991.
No. 1 applied for "ruled line selection device" (hereinafter, this application or invention is referred to as "earlier application" or "earlier invention"). First, the contents of the previous application will be described. That is, as a ruled line selection method, there have been the following methods. (1) One point is designated, and a ruled line passing through this one point is set as an edit target. (2) Specify two points. One ruled line whose starting point and ending point are the two points is targeted. (3) All ruled lines displayed there are targeted. (4) Enter one point and the upper, lower, left and right. A vertical line passing through the point,
All left or right, upper or lower ruled lines divided by horizontal lines are targeted. (5) Specify two points. All ruled lines in a rectangular area whose two points are diagonal are targeted. (For example, JP-A-60-68473.
(See Japanese Patent Publication). Conventional workstations, personal computers,
A word processor or the like is provided with a ruled line selection device incorporating these methods, and the user uses this to edit the ruled line.

In this conventional device, for each mode,
The number of points to be specified and the contents of data (including functions (commands)) to be input were different. Therefore, in editing, it was necessary to switch the mode according to the processing purpose and to perform the input operation required in the mode. For example, when setting the ruled line in FIG. 13D, the following is done. First, the mode (5) is set, the cursor is operated to designate the points 71 and 72, and the ruled line setting function is input. Figure 1
A ruled line of 3 (A) is set. Next, the mode (2) is set, points 73 and 74 are designated, and a function for changing the line type from a solid line to a broken line is input. Figure 13
The state of (B) is obtained. This operation is repeated from the set of points 75 and 76 to the set of points 85 and 86. Alternatively, FIG. 13 (A)
After this state, the mode is changed to (1), the point 87 is designated, and the line type changing function is input. Do this operation at point 88
To point 93. This is the desired figure 13 (D)
The table frame of is set. Even with such a table frame, it was necessary to specify 8 to 16 points, input the function eight times, and switch the mode once.

By the way, the visibility of the front frame and the like is better if the type of the line, the thickness, the size of the cell (mesh) and the like are changed. However, in the conventional device, as in this example, it is necessary to switch between modes and input in a different procedure for each mode, so the operation is complicated, and since many operations are required, it takes time to edit. Was hanging. Therefore, in the above invention, the starting point ruled line information storage means for storing the direction and coordinates of the ruled line designated as the start point, the end point ruled line information storage means for storing the direction and coordinates of the ruled line designated as the end point, and the starting point ruled line direction The above problem is solved by using the selected ruled line determining means for selecting the edit target ruled line based on the coordinates and the direction and coordinates of the end point ruled line.

[0005]

However, there are some things that the previous invention cannot do. That is, when editing a ruled line, it may be desired to select only the outer frame ruled line of the rectangular area, for example, changing only the outer frame of the table to a double line. This was not possible with the previous invention. In the above invention, as shown in FIG. 14, when vertical and horizontal ruled lines are designated as the start point and the end point, all the ruled lines inside the rectangular area defined by the start point ruled line and the end point ruled line are selected. It was

[0006]

It is an object of the present invention to enable what was not possible in such earlier inventions, and a) including the selection of the ruled lines that make up the outer frame; ) All horizontal ruled lines c) All vertical ruled lines d) All vertical and horizontal ruled lines are to be selectable by the same operation procedure as in the previous application. In order to achieve this object, in the invention of claim 1, in a ruled line selecting device which has a display means and an input means and which selects the ruled line to be edited by these means, the direction of the ruled line designated as the starting point by the input means. And starting point ruled line information storage means, the end point ruled line information storage means for storing the direction and coordinates of the ruled line designated as the end point by the input means, and the internal ruled line selection information input by the input means. Internal ruled line selection information storage means, selection ruled line selection for selecting a ruled line to be edited based on the direction and coordinates of the ruled line specified as the start point, the direction and coordinates of the ruled line specified as the end point, and the internal ruled line selection information And means. Further, in the invention of claim 2, the position of the cursor when the ruled line of the end point or the start point is designated is also used as the internal ruled line selection information.

[0007]

In the invention of claim 1, the start point and the end point are
The ruled line coordinates and the direction of the ruled line, which are the same as those of the previous invention, are stored, and information on whether or not to select a ruled line inside the rectangular area is stored. The selected ruled line determining means selects a target ruled line based on the direction and coordinates of the starting point ruled line, the direction and coordinates of the end point ruled line, and information on whether to select the ruled line inside the rectangular area. In the invention of claim 2, the position of the cursor when the ruled line of the end point or the start point is specified is
It is also used as information as to whether to select a ruled line inside this area. For example, even if the same start point ruled line and end point ruled line are designated, for example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the vertical ruled line VU (4, 4)
When the inside is designated, all the ruled lines inside the area are selected, and when the outside is designated as shown in FIG. 8B, only the ruled lines forming the outer frame of the area are selected.

[0008]

The details of the present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. First, the terms are explained. (1) Vertical ruled line unit VU, horizontal ruled line unit LU Vertical line segments and horizontal line segments that configure one cell (FIG. 2).
The length is set and changed by the user. When referring to individual ruled line units, coordinates (x, y) are added after the respective symbols VU and LU. The coordinate component x is the ruled line unit number when the leftmost one of the table is sequentially counted as "1", and the coordinate component y is the topmost one of the table as "1". It is represented by a number in ruled line units when counting in order. As an example, VU (2,2) and LU (3,2) are shown in FIG. (2) Ruled line unit When the vertical ruled line unit VU and the horizontal ruled line unit LU are not particularly distinguished, they are simply referred to as “ruled line unit”. (3) Ruled line: A ruled line unit VU or a horizontal ruled line unit LU. (4) Start point ruled line unit, end point ruled line unit, designated position This embodiment corresponds to an embodiment of the invention of claim 2. When two points are specified, three pieces of information, that is, a unit of a starting point ruled line, a unit of an end point ruled line, and a designated position are input. Starting point ruled line unit is mouse 3
When the left button 31 (see FIG. 6 etc.) is pressed, it is a ruled line unit designated by the cursor 14 (see FIG. 6 etc.). The end point ruled line unit is a ruled line unit designated by the cursor 14 when the right button 32 of the cursor 3 is pressed. The designated position refers to the position of the cursor 14 when the end ruled line unit is designated. If the designated position is closer to the starting point ruled line unit than the designated ruled line unit, the designated position is inside the rectangular area, or if it is far from the outside. It is said that When the designated position is inside, all ruled line units inside the rectangular area are selected, and when outside, the ruled line units forming the outer frame of the rectangular area are selected. This designated position corresponds to the internal ruled line selection information in the claims.

The configuration of the apparatus 100 of the embodiment is shown in FIG. Each of these configurations is realized by hardware and software such as the workstation. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a console, which includes a keyboard 2, a mouse 3, a display 4 and the like. The mouse 3 and the display 4 correspond to the input means and the display means of the present invention. Reference numeral 5 denotes a ruled line unit / designated position detection unit that determines whether the two points designated by the cursor 14 are the start point or the end point, and the direction of the ruled line unit registered for the designated divided area at that time. (VU, L
U) and ruled line coordinates, and whether the designated position of the end point is inside or outside the rectangular area. Note that the cursor is shown only in FIG. 6A because the figure becomes difficult to see.
The same applies to other parts. A ruled line unit storage unit 6 includes a start point ruled line unit storage unit 61 and an end point ruled line unit storage unit 6
2 and a designated position storage unit 621, and stores the direction and coordinates of the start / end ruled line units detected by the ruled line unit / designated position detection unit 5 and whether the designated position is inside or outside (Fig. 3). The starting point ruled line unit storage unit 61 is the starting point ruled line information storage unit of the present invention, the end point ruled line unit storage unit 62 is also the end point ruled line information storage unit, and the designated position storage unit 6
Reference numeral 21 also corresponds to the internal ruled line selection information storage means. Reference numeral 7 denotes a set ruled line calculation unit, which is based on the direction and coordinates of each start point / end point ruled line unit and whether the specified position is inside or outside,
Select one or more ruled line units. The set ruled line calculation unit 7 corresponds to the selected ruled line determining means of the present invention. A set ruled line display unit 8 instructs the display 4 to highlight the start point and the end point in ruled line units and display the selected ruled line unit.

Referring to FIG. 4, the direction, the coordinates of each ruled line,
The procedure for determining the designated position will be described. This determination is executed by the ruled line unit / designated position detection unit 5. FIG. 4 shows an example of the display state of the display 4. The solid line 11 is a scale indicating the size of the cell, not a ruled line. The broken line is an unset ruled line unit, and this is used as an index to select the ruled line unit. 12 is a division line that passes through each intersection of ruled lines, which is logical and is not displayed on the display 4. Marking line 1
Each area 13 divided by 2 includes one vertical ruled line unit VU or one horizontal ruled line unit LU. For example, the hatched area 13A includes a vertical ruled line unit VU (2,2). As described above, in the present embodiment, only two points are designated, and three pieces of information of the starting point ruled line unit, the end point ruled line unit, and the designated position are input. Therefore, each area 13 further includes a pair of left and right or upper and lower areas 13L, 13 that sandwich the ruled line unit.
It is divided into R, 13U, and 13D. For example, ruled line unit VU
The area 13B including (2,1) is divided into a left area 13LB and a right area 13RB, and the area 13C including a ruled line unit LU (2,2) is divided into an upper area 13UC and a lower area 13DC.

The ruled line unit / designated position detection unit 5 is realized by using a cursor position determination function provided in a workstation or the like. For this cursor position determination function,
Each of these divided areas, for example, 13LB, 13RB, 13U
Data defining the sizes and positions of C and 13DC, the direction (VU or UL) of the ruled line unit assigned to the data, and the ruled line coordinate data (x, y) are set. in this case,
The same ruled line unit is assigned to the divided areas adjacent to each other with one ruled line unit as a boundary. For example, the divided area 13L
Ruled line unit VU (2,1) is added to B and 13 RB
Ruled line unit LU (2, 2) is assigned to UC and 13DC. When the end point ruled line unit is designated, the designated position is "inside" if the cursor 14 is in an area closer to the start point ruled line unit in the upper, lower, or left and right regions sandwiching the ruled line, and the far side is designated. The position is “outside”.

FIG. 5 shows the processing procedure of the apparatus 100 of this embodiment. Here, it is assumed that a new ruled line is set. First, when the left button 31 is pressed, the answer is "yes" in S1. The ruled line unit / designated position detection unit 5 stores the data of the direction of the starting point ruled line unit and the ruled line coordinates (x, y) in the starting point ruled line unit storage unit 61 (S2). Further, the set ruled line display unit 8 instructs the display 4 to highlight the starting point ruled line unit. If the right button 32 has been pressed, the answer is "yes" in S3. The ruled line unit / designated position detection unit 5 performs a storage process on the end-point ruled line unit storage unit 62 to store the direction and ruled line coordinates (x, y) of the ruled line unit at the end point, and whether the designated position is inside or outside. (S
4).

When the direction and ruled line coordinates of the ruled line unit at the start point and the end point and the data of the designated position are prepared, the set ruled line calculation unit 7 selects the ruled line unit to be set according to the rules of Table 1 (S5). The set ruled line display unit 8 stops the previously highlighted portion and instructs the display 4 to highlight selected ruled line units. Table 1 shows the starting point ruled line unit, the end point ruled line unit, and the ruled line unit selected for the designated position, and specific examples thereof. The contents of Table 1 will be described. First, referring to FIG. 6, an operation example in the case of setting the same plurality of horizontal ruled lines as in the embodiment of the previous application will be described. First mouse 3
Is operated to align the tip of the cursor 14 with a desired ruled line unit, for example, a horizontal ruled line unit LU, and clicks the left button 31 (in the figure, the pressed button is indicated by filling).

When the left button 31 is clicked, the answer in S1 becomes "yes". The ruled line direction “horizontal (LU)” and coordinates “2, 3” are stored in the starting point ruled line unit storage unit 61 (S
2). In addition, from here, regarding "positioning of the cursor 14", "clicking of the mouse button 32", etc.,
Don't mention it one by one. Next, a desired horizontal ruled line unit LU is designated. The information on the designated position is not used when the ruled line is selected only in the horizontal direction or only in the vertical direction afterward. Therefore, in these cases, it is not necessary to pay attention to whether the position of the cursor 14 designating the end ruled line unit is inside or outside the ruled line unit. The answer of S2 becomes "yes" because the end point ruled line unit is designated. The end line ruled line unit storage unit 62 stores the ruled line direction “horizontal (LU)” and coordinates “3, 8”. Also, although not used, the designated position storage unit 62
1 is the cursor 1 that was pointing to the end ruled line unit at that time
Data is stored whether 4 is located inside or outside the rectangular area (S4).

The ruled line unit to be set is selected by the set ruled line calculation unit 7 (S5). In this case, the relationship between the start point and the end point is the relationship in the first line of Table 1. A rectangular area including two ruled line units and having their left or right ends as their corners is assumed, and all the horizontal ruled line units LU therein are selected.
In the present embodiment, the part corresponding to the side of the rectangle is also included. In this example, the horizontal ruled line unit LU having the coordinate components of y = 3 to 8 and x = 2 to 4 is selected. In the general form, when the coordinates of the ruled line unit at the start point are (x ₁ , y ₁ ) and the coordinates of the ruled line unit at the end point are (x ₂ , y ₂ ), x ₁ ≤x ≤x ₂ and y ₁ ≤y A horizontal ruled line unit LU having a coordinate component of ≦ y ₂ is set as a selected ruled line.
Next, the type of ruled line is designated (FIG. 6C). The solid line is specified here. In response to this, the set ruled line display unit 8 displays the selected ruled line unit in solid lines (FIG. 6D). FIG. 7 shows an operation example when setting a plurality of vertical ruled lines. This example is also basically the same as the example of FIG. 6, and is also the same as the embodiment of the previous invention. Here again, it is not necessary to pay attention to the designated position of the end point. All vertical ruled line units VU in the rectangular area are selected and displayed (second line in Table 1).

FIG. 8 shows, as it were, an example made selectable by the present invention. The hatched portion in each of the figures on the left side represents the ruled line unit that is the starting point. The hatched portion on the right side represents the ruled line unit that is the end point and the set ruled line unit. What the present invention has attempted to improve is to make it possible to select a ruled line of only the outer frame by the same operation procedure as in the previous invention. Here, as a concrete method thereof, when designating the ruled line unit at the end point, the position of the cursor 14 is discriminated depending on whether it is inside or outside of the ruled line unit at the end point. That is, first, when it is desired to select all the ruled line units in the rectangular area defined by the start point ruled line unit and the end point ruled line unit, the designated position of the end point ruled line unit is set to the inside of the ruled line unit, that is, the region near the start point ruled line unit. To do. Specifically, in the case of FIG. 8A, the area on the left side of the vertical ruled line unit VU (4, 4), and in the case of FIG. 8C, the horizontal ruled line unit LU
This is the upper region of (3, 5). In addition, here, the left-side area is the vertical ruled line unit VU (2,1) in the example of FIG.
A region such as the region 13LB on the left side and a region above the region are regions such as a region 13UC above the horizontal ruled line unit LU (2, 2) in FIG. The starting point ruled line unit, the end point ruled line unit, and the designated position data are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
As in the case of the ruled line selection example of No. 3, the data is stored in the starting point ruled line unit storage unit 61, the end point ruled line unit storage unit 62, and the designated position storage unit 621 in S2 and S4. Then, in S5, ruled line units are selected based on the stored data. Here, since the designated position is inside the ruled line unit, all ruled line units within the rectangular area defined by the start point and the end point are selected (FIG. 8A or 8C, the third line of Table 1 or 5th line).

When it is desired to select only the ruled lines of the outer frame portion made possible by the present invention, the designated position in units of the end ruled lines is changed to
The area is outside the ruled line unit, that is, on the side farther from the starting point ruled line unit (FIG. 8 (B) or (D), line 4 or line 6 in Table 1). The starting point ruled line unit, the end point ruled line unit, and the designated position data are similarly stored in the respective storage units 61, 62, and 621. Then, in S5, a ruled line unit is selected based on these data. Here, since the specified position is outside the ruled line unit, the starting point ruled line unit,
The ruled line unit forming the outer frame of the rectangular area defined by the end point ruled line unit is selected (FIG. 8 (B) or (D), line 4 or line 6 in Table 1).

FIG. 9 shows another specific example. This example is the same as the embodiment of the previous invention. In this case as well, it is not necessary to pay attention to the position of the cursor 14 when designating the end ruled line unit. Further, in the example of this figure, the starting point ruled line unit and the end point ruled line unit are on the same straight line. Even in this case,
The general form equations can be applied and the ruled line units between them are selected. Further, in FIGS. 9C and 9D, the same ruled line unit is designated. In this case as well, the general formula can be applied, and only the ruled line unit concerned is selected.

Application examples are shown in FIGS. 10, 11 and 12.
These examples are also similar to the previous application. When designating the vertical ruled line unit 42 of FIG. 12, it is not necessary to pay attention to the designated position of the end point ruled line unit except for designating the inside of the ruled line unit 42. Each example will be described. FIG. 10 shows an example in which vertical ruled lines and horizontal ruled lines are set by changing line types. Seven horizontal ruled lines 23 are set by specifying the horizontal ruled line unit LU 21 and 22 and the line type solid line. Five vertical ruled lines 27 are set by specifying the vertical ruled lines 25 and 26 and the line type broken line. FIG. 11 shows an example in which vertical ruled lines are partially set. 28 and 29 horizontal ruled line units L
The seven horizontal ruled lines 23 are set by specifying U and specifying the line type solid line. By specifying the vertical ruled lines 33 and 34 and the line type solid line, 2
The vertical ruled line 35 of the book is set. One vertical ruled line 38 is set by specifying the vertical ruled line units 36 and 37 and the line type solid line.
FIG. 12 shows an example of partially changing (resetting) the vertical ruled line and the horizontal ruled line. The table frame 43 is specified by specifying the inside of the horizontal ruled line unit LU of 41, the vertical ruled line unit VU of 42, and the line type solid line. To set. 44 horizontal ruled line unit LU designation, 45 horizontal ruled line unit L
Three horizontal ruled lines 46 are set by designating U and designating a line type broken line. By specifying 47 vertical ruled line units VU, 48 vertical ruled line units VU, and line type broken line, three vertical ruled lines 4
Set 9.

The supplementary items will be described below. (1) In the above embodiment, when the end point ruled line unit is designated, data indicating whether or not all the ruled line units in the rectangular area are selected depending on whether the position of the cursor 14 is inside or outside the ruled line unit ( Internal ruled line selection information) was input. However, the point of the present invention is that "the starting point ruled line, which is used in the previous invention,
The point is that this "internal ruled line selection information" is added to the "end point ruled line data" to determine the ruled line to be selected. Therefore, the input procedure itself of this "internal ruled line selection information" is arbitrary. Here are some examples. (A) Contrary to the above embodiment, "inside specified position" and "outside specified position" are input on the starting point ruled line unit side. (B) The end point or the starting point ruled line unit is designated while pressing the shift key or the control key only when selecting the outer frame. (C) The mouse key 32 or 31 is clicked twice when designating the end point or the starting point ruled line unit only when selecting the outer frame.

(2) In the above embodiment, a new ruled line is set. As in the previous invention, the device of the present invention can be applied to all the changes, deletions, and other editing of ruled lines. (3) The lengths of the vertical / horizontal ruled line units VU and LU are arbitrary as described above. These can be set and changed by the user in the case of new setting and correction of ruled lines, and in other cases. (4) In the above embodiment, the mouse 14 controls the cursor 14. You may control with a cursor key, a joystick, etc. (5) In the above embodiment, the cursor 14 is used to specify the starting point ruled line unit and the end point ruled line unit. The rules LU, VU and the coordinates of each ruled line unit may be input from a keyboard or the like to specify the ruled line unit. In this case, information on whether to select a ruled line inside the rectangular area may be input from the keyboard. (6) In the above-described embodiment and the supplementary items, the ruled lines designated as the start point, the end point, and the selected ruled line are handled in ruled line units. This ruled line unit is useful when a new ruled line is set, but for example, if there is an existing table frame, it may be processed based on that. That is, the ruled line unit itself is not an essential item for the configuration of the present invention. (7) In the above embodiment, the start point and the end point are distinguished by the difference of the mouse button. You may make it a start point and an end point after input.

[0022]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the invention, the object to be edited is based on the coordinates and directions of the ruled lines designated as the start point and the end point and the information as to whether or not the internal ruled line is selected. Changed to select ruled lines. Therefore, it is possible to select a ruled line only in the outer frame, which was not possible in the previous invention, and like the previous invention, it is possible to select a plurality of vertical ruled lines and horizontal ruled lines which were not possible in the conventional device. Then, all the operations for selecting the ruled lines including the selection of the internal ruled lines can be performed by the same procedure as in the previous invention, and there is no complexity of switching the operation mode for each purpose unlike the conventional device. . Further, there is no need to input differently for each operation mode, and there is no need to remember the procedure. Further, in the invention of claim 2, the information of the cursor position when the end ruled line or the start ruled line is designated is also used as the information of whether or not to select the ruled line in the rectangular area. That is, in the invention of claim 2, the ruled line designating operation at the end point or the starting point also serves as a designating operation as to whether or not the internal ruled line is selected at the same time, and this operation is performed when all the ruled lines in the horizontal and vertical directions are selected. You only need to pay attention, and other operations do not need to pay such attention. Therefore, the operation is simplified and a so-called user-friendly operation environment is realized.
