Description

The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus for inputting a document by a keyboard operation, editing and processing the input document, and outputting the document. In particular, the present invention relates to a document processing device for separating a horizontal sentence such as a Western sentence or a Japanese sentence. The present invention relates to a document processing device which automatically creates a blank line following a paragraph or a paragraph (hereinafter, referred to as a paragraph) indicating "."

Conventionally, when inputting a document, even when a paragraph ends at a certain line, the input about the line spacing is the same as the case of the continuous line input.

For example, the line spacing is often wide between European and American paragraphs, and in the above case, the line spacing must be opened by specifying a line break, and typing work is complicated.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and when it is determined that the input character is the last character in the input line, whether the last character of the line is a character indicating the end of a sentence or not. If a character at the end of the input line is determined to be a character indicating the end of a sentence, the document processing apparatus has a function of leaving the next line blank.

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the character processing apparatus of the present invention, in which reference numeral 1 is a keyboard, and a plurality of keys for inputting character information such as alphanumeric characters and symbols on the keyboard 1. , A margin key for instructing margin information and a cursor movement key are arranged.

Reference numeral 2 is an encoder for converting the key information input by pressing one of the keys of the keyboard 1 into a code signal corresponding to this, and 3 is the key information encoded by the encoder 2 is a margin key input. It is a code determination unit that determines whether or not.

Reference numeral 4 is a register indicating position information of the cursor. The cursor register 4 stores the number of rows and the horizontal position within each row.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a margin control unit that starts control when the code determination unit 3 determines that the input is a margin information key. Details of the margin control unit 5 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the key code is the first left margin code. If the key code is the first left margin code, the process proceeds to step S2, and vice versa.
Proceed to S3. In step S2, the cursor information of the horizontal position of the cursor register 4 is stored in the first left margin register 6. Then, it progresses to step S3. In step S3, it is determined whether or not the code is the second left margin code, and the second
If it is the left margin code, proceed to step S4, otherwise proceed to step S5. In step S4, the horizontal position information of the cursor register 4 is stored in the second left margin register 7, and then the process proceeds to step S5. In step S5, it is determined whether the code has a right margin. If it is the right margin, step S6 follows and the horizontal position information of the cursor register 4 is stored in the right margin register 8. At this time, when the horizontal position is smaller than that of the first and second left margin registers 6 and 7, the value of the maximum number of characters in one line is set.

The margin control is completed as described above, and the keyboard 1
Wait for input from.

The control unit 9 starts the control when the code determination unit 3 determines that an input other than the margin key has been made. In the control unit 9, when the discrimination output from the code discriminating unit 3 means a start key for instructing the start of processing, the cursor register 4, the first left margin register 6 and the second left margin register 7 are respectively set to "1". "Initialization and the right margin register 8 is set to the maximum character value that can be input for one line.

Further, in the control unit 9, when the discrimination output from the code semi-division unit 3 is a character report code, the display control unit 10 is instructed to display the corresponding character, and the sentence end control unit 11 is instructed to control. To do.

Such details will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in step S11, it is determined whether or not the input key is the cursor movement key. If it is the cursor movement key, the process proceeds to step S16. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S12, and it is determined whether the code is a character code. If it is not a character code, the process proceeds to step S15. If it is a character code, the process proceeds to step 13 to instruct the display control unit 10.

The display control unit 10 extracts a character pattern corresponding to the character code from the character generator 12, and displays the character pattern.
It is displayed at the position indicated by the cursor register 4 at 13.
Then, in step S14, the horizontal position of the cursor register 4 is advanced by 1.

Succeedingly, in a step S15, the end-of-sentence control unit 11 is instructed to control the end-of-sentence process. The sentence end control unit 11 will be described later. Then, it moves to step S17. Further, in step S16, the contents of the cursor register 4 are set at the position designated by the cursor movement key. In step S17, the display control unit 10 is instructed to display the cursor to end the control, and the keyboard 1
Wait for input from.

Next, the processing in the sentence end control unit 11 will be described.

The sentence ending control unit 11 first determines whether or not the input key is a code such as end of page or the start of document creation. With these codes, the value of the second left margin register 7 is set at the horizontal position of the cursor register 4, and the number of rows is set to the initial value "1".

When a carriage return code is input, the character before the first character is searched, and if the character before the character is a period, it is determined to be the end of the sentence, and the content of the second left margin register 7 is set horizontally in the cursor register 4. Set to position and add 2 rows. When the horizontal position of the cursor register 4 is equal to or exceeds the content of the margin register 8 or when the character immediately before the carriage return code is not a period, the value of the first left margin register 6 is set to the cursor. It is set at the horizontal position of the register 4 and the number of rows is incremented by 1 to make it the next row.

FIGS. 4 (A) and 4 (B) show the display results on the display unit 13 with and without the sentence ending process according to the present invention. Here, the leftmost number indicates a line, K indicates a line feed mark, and CS indicates a cursor.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the end of a sentence is checked by detecting the end of a paragraph, a few lines, for example, one blank line, is automatically set between the paragraph and the next paragraph. Since it can be added, it becomes possible for the operator to automatically input a blank line after the paragraph is completed without being aware of it.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the blank line between the paragraphs is set to one line, but the number of such blank lines can be easily set by the keyboard 1.
