Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a word processor that automatically displays or prints page numbers.

[Conventional technology]

In the word processor system, the input character string is sequentially displayed on the display device for confirmation, corrections and additions are made and edited, the created sentence is stored in the file device, and then output to the printer device. To get a hard copy.

When performing an editing operation, it is important not only to confirm the character string currently being input, but also to confirm the page number and line number of the character string being input.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, in the above conventional technique, the page number and line number cannot be confirmed during the editing operation.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and in the case of multi-page, a page numbering is automatically performed at the time of an editing operation to display it on a display device, and a page number is also inserted at the time of print output. To provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

To achieve the above object, a word processor of the present invention comprises a character data input means for inputting character data, a memory means for storing character data from the character data input means, and character data to be output. And a format changing means for changing the format of
A word processor for correcting, adding, and deleting input character data, further comprising page number assigning means and layout display means for displaying a layout of character data for one page, and the page number assigning means Divides the data into pages of the format of the format on the basis of the format of the format changed by the format changing unit and the input data amount, obtains page data, and divides the page data into the divided pages. The layout display means displays the divided character data in a simplified pattern different from the character pattern and displays the divided character data on the page data associated with the divided character data. Characterized by displaying the page display based on a numerical pattern That.

[Work]

In the present invention, when the format is changed and the size of the paper to be output is halved, one page of characters is divided into two or more pages. The number is displayed for each page. That is, page numbering is performed by counting up the page counter built in the microprocessor by a program. In this case, since the number of characters described in one page is halved when the character filling process is executed by the microprocessor,
By switching the overflow value of the page counter to the number of characters, the numbering code is inserted for each divided page. When displaying this,
The page number is displayed at a predetermined position in a numerical pattern.

EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external view of a word processor of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a connection diagram of each device of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the device of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the word processor according to the present invention includes a keyboard 1, a one-line display device 2, a layout display device 3, an external storage device (floppy disk in FIG. 1) 4, 5 and a printer device (see FIG. 1). In FIG. 1, a facsimile recording unit 6) and a control unit for controlling each device are used to perform automatic editing of Japanese sentences, sentence creation, and printout processing.

In FIG. 2, various data input by the operator from the keyboard device is stored in the memory 9 of the control unit 10, the stored data is transferred to the control unit 20, and the layout display 3 and the one-line display 2 are stored.
Is output to.

This allows the operator to know what was input from the keyboard 1 and stored.

While looking at the layout display 3 and the 1-line display 2, the operator corrects, deletes, or adds the data input from the keyboard device 1 to create a sentence.

The created sentence is stored in the external storage device 4 according to an instruction from the operator. When the operator also needs the created sentence, he or she can take it out from the external storage device 4 at any time and print it out to the printer 6 through the control unit 30 to obtain it.

Here, the operation and effect of each device will be described.

FIG. 3 shows a more detailed block diagram including the interface.

The keyboard device 1 includes Japanese kanji, kana, katakana,
This is a device that allows the operator to input symbols, alphanumeric characters, editing functions, etc. to the control unit 10 by pressing keys on the keys.

The data input from the keyboard device 1 is micro C
It is stored in the memory 9 by the PU 8.

In order to inform the operator what the stored input data was, the micro CPU 8 previously stored in the memory 9
It is possible to know where the Kanji pattern (32 dots × 32 dots) of the “input data” is by referring to the code table stored in. This code table is based on the input data code (16-bit structure), what is the JIS code for this kanji, where it is stored in the external storage device 4, and whether the kanji pattern is in the external storage device 5. It is possible to know whether or not it exists in the internal high-speed memory 25, and the contents of the code table can be changed if necessary.

In addition, high-speed memory 25 (character generator C
In G), when the power is turned on, a kanji pattern that is frequently used is loaded from the kanji patterns stored in the external storage device 5.

The Kanji group to be loaded is selected and determined in advance.

In this way, the micro CPU 8 that has extracted the Chinese character pattern corresponding to the input data transfers it to the memory 7 through the interface 13.

After that, the micro CPU 8 instructs the micro CPU 18 through the interfaces 13 and 14 to display the layout display 3 and the 1-line display 2.
Issue a command to display the Kanji pattern corresponding to the input data.

Upon receiving the instruction, the micro CPU 18 displays a simplified symbol on the Chinese character pattern and the layout display 3 according to the operation parameter from the micro CPU 8 stored in the memory 17.

At this time, if the Chinese character pattern is in the character generator 25, the micro CPU 8 passes the input data to the memory 17, and the Chinese character pattern is stored in the micro CPU 18.
Draws from the character generator 25. if,
When the kanji pattern is not in the character generator 25, the micro CPU 8 extracts the kanji pattern from the external storage device 5, stores the data (kanji pattern) in the memory 17, and issues a display start command to the micro CPU 18.

In this way, the operator uses the keyboard device 1 to input the data as Kanji into the 1-line display 2
The layout display 3 can recognize the above, and which part of what sentence the character is, and the overall movement such as the arrangement when the sentence is printed on the paper.

Thus, the device described here, the word processor, comprises two types of display devices, a layout display 3 and a one-line display 2.

On the layout display 3, it is possible to see the layout of the entire page in which the currently created sentence exists.

The layout here means, for example, the number of characters in one line, 1
Based on the number of lines on the page, the position to start printing characters in the line, the print end position, the print frame, the length between lines, etc., the layout of the input character data within one page is indicated by a symbol, etc. Also, the frame is represented by a line or the like. In addition to the layout, the layout display 3 also provides operator guidance to the operator (give attention to the operator,
A message for giving the next operation instruction) can also be displayed. Of course, the device can display the number of pages, the number of lines, and the like mixed with symbols.

Actual Japanese characters are displayed on the 1-line display 2. In other words, regarding the overall layout, when viewing the layout display 3, only the line currently being input is 1
One line can be seen as an actual character on the line display 2.

In addition to the characters, the 1-line display 2 includes a part of a limited layout (printing range within a line, etc.),
This is a device that can display not only the layout that is particularly required in a line, such as the number of lines displayed from the beginning of the page, but also operator guidance that cannot be displayed on the layout display 3.

Next, the movement of the character data input from the keyboard 1 will be described.

While confirming what the input data was by the layout display 3 and the 1-line display 2, the operator stores the sentence in the memory 9 and the file created as the sentence in the external storage device 4 from the memory 9. be able to. When making a correction to this sentence, the operator instructs the portion to be corrected from the keyboard 1 and takes it out from the external storage device 4 into the memory 9, and adds, deletes, corrects, files from the keyboard 1 through the micro CPU 8 and the interface 12. Editing such as mutual connection can be performed.

This control is performed by the control unit 10, and the control unit 20 determines whether the correction is made or not.
5 through 1 to the 1-line display 2 and the layout display 3.

Since the control unit 10 and the control unit 20 have the bus line 41 and the bus line 42 independently, the micro CP
The U8 and the micro CPU 18 operate completely independently. Therefore, even when the control unit 20 is displaying on the layout display 3, the one-line display 2, or printing through the control unit 30, the control unit 10 prints or modifies the data from the external storage device 4 next time. It is possible to take out a file or input a new sentence from the keyboard device 1.

The bus lines 41, 42, and 43 referred to here are data lines (for example, 8 to 16 lines), a group of control lines necessary for transferring this data, and a group of signal lines such as a power source. Is controlled by the micro CPUs 8, 18, and 28, and each unit (for example, keyboard 1, file, etc.) is connected through these bus lines.

In this device, one micro C is used for one bus line.
Since only PU is connected, each micro C
The PU is free to use the bus line to which it is connected at any time.

The present apparatus has three sets of such bus lines, which are incorporated in the control units 10, 20, and 30, respectively. Therefore, each of the control units 10, 20, 30 has an independent bus line, and can operate completely freely without being influenced by other control units.

These control units 10, 20 and 30 have their respective control ranges defined, and in the case of this device, the control unit 10 mainly has an editing function of a conventional European word processor (automatic European document generator) and the control unit 20. Is a function for displaying a Japanese sentence pattern on the CRT, and the control unit 30 is a printer function.

A telephone line is connected to the control unit 30, and an operator can communicate with the outside using a telephone mounted on the printer 6.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the display of page numbers according to the present invention.

FIG. 4 (a) shows the storage state of the character code group in the memory device, FIG. 4 (b) shows the page number displayed on the display device, and FIG. 4 (c) shows the size of the paper. Shows the page number displayed when is changed to half.

The micro CPU 8 of the control unit 10 has a built-in page count, and when the character code input from the keyboard 1 is stored in the memory 9, the page counter is incremented by 1 by the program each time one character is stored. Counting up, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the page numbering code of (1) is inserted when the number of characters for one page is counted.

Then, the counter is reset and the number of characters for the next page is counted. In this way, since the numbering is inserted at the end of each page, the micro CPU 8
When a display start command and a character code (or a character pattern) are sent from the micro CPU 18 to the micro CPU 18, this numbering code is also sent, and as shown in FIG. It is displayed at a predetermined position on one page of the display device 3.

FIG. 4B shows a full-line display for one page, but if the format is changed and the paper size is halved as shown in FIG. The characters for one page are divided into two or more pages, and in that case, the number is automatically displayed for each page. Also in this case, the page numbering is performed by counting up the page counter incorporated in the micro CPU 8 by the program.

That is, when the character filling process is executed by the micro CPU 8, the number of characters described in one page is halved. Therefore, by changing the overflow value of the page counter to that number of characters, each divided page is divided. The numbering code is inserted. Then, when displaying, the page number is displayed at a predetermined position.

If you insert this page numbering code,
It is possible to create a table of contents and also an index to be placed at the end of a book.

In order to display the page number on the layout display device 3, the character generator built in the display device 3 may be replaced with one storing a numerical pattern (when using a ROM), or By constructing the character generator with a RAM device, a part of the contents can be rewritten to store a numeric pattern, which can be realized.

Further, when a hard copy is obtained by outputting to a printer device, the page number pattern for display is sent as it is to the internal memory 29 of the control unit 30 together with the character pattern so that the paper is automatically printed at the time of printing. You can insert a number into.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, in the case of multi-page, the page numbering is automatically performed and displayed on the display device, and the page number is automatically inserted also when outputting to the printer device. , The input operation at the time of editing becomes easy, and the table of contents and index can be easily created later.
