Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus for inserting and printing a character to be inserted at a inserting position in a document.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, the insertion function (that is, the merge function, the merge print function, etc.) in this type of document processing apparatus simply inserts other document information into a specified position in the document information created in advance. , Only printed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional document processing apparatus, the character mode in the document to be merged (original document) (particularly, the setting of the mode made regarding the insertion position (merge position)) is merged. A document to be (inserted) (merged document) does not have any effectiveness (binding power) after execution of merge. For example, if the merge position of an original document is set to bold mode, and the merge document is inserted at that merge position, the bold mode has no effect on the merge document inserted.
The mode will not be set.

Therefore, when the same mode is set for all the documents to be merged, the same mode needs to be set individually for each merged document.

In addition, there are some types of conventionally known document processing apparatuses in which the character mode of a merge document cannot be individually set.

As a result, there is a drawback that not only the operability of the document processing apparatus is lost, but also the possibility of causing an operation error increases. In addition, the execution of the merge creates a document against the operator's will, which is inconvenient.

Therefore, in view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide the first attribute information set to the pointing position indicated by the insertion instruction information and the second attribute information set to the character information corresponding to the character to be inserted. Based on the above, by determining the attribute of the character information when the character information is inserted into the document information and printed, it is possible to provide a character processing device capable of creating a detailed document according to the purpose of merging. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve such an object, the character processing device according to the present invention provides insertion instruction information indicating an insertion position in document information, and insertion instruction indicated by the insertion instruction information. A first storage means for storing the first attribute information set at the position, a second attribute information set for the character to be inserted, and second attribute information set for the character information.
Storage means, determination means for determining the attribute of the character information when the character information is inserted into the document information and printed based on the first attribute information and the second attribute information; and the insertion instruction information. A print control unit for printing the character information based on the attribute determined by the determination unit is provided at the position shown.

When the first attribute information is not set, the determining means can determine the attribute by validating the second attribute information. Alternatively, the determining means can determine the attribute by taking the logical sum of the first attribute information and the second attribute information.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 3A is a memory configuration diagram of the RAM3. In this figure,
A text buffer pointer (TB_P) 12 is a pointer for designating the position of the text buffer TB. Similarly, the original document buffer pointer 13 (OB_P) and the merge document buffer pointer 14 (MB_P) are pointers indicating the positions of the original document buffer 19 (OB) and the merge document buffer 20 (MB), respectively. Also, as a work pointer, the original document buffer work pointer 15 (OP),
It has a merge document buffer work pointer 16 (MP). Reference numeral 17 denotes a merge document character counter CNT, which is an area for holding the number of characters in the OB.

In FIG. 3B, TB_P_I is an area for holding the start position of the text buffer TB, and TB_P_MAX is an area for holding the end position of the text buffer TB. This buffer TB is composed of a character buffer TB_c and an attribute buffer TB_a, both of which are positioned by a pointer indicated by TB_P. The same applies to the original document buffer OB and merge document buffer MB.

The operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described below.

In this embodiment, the document information is sequentially input from KB6 under the control of CPU1. The input document information is temporarily stored in the RAM 3 and displayed on the CRT 4. After being edited, it is stored in the FD 5 or printed by the PRT 11. Here, each command is input from KB6, and the character string mode setting, merge position, etc. in this embodiment are also set in the document information. Furthermore, the plug-in function is also instructed by KB6.

Next, the control procedure of the present embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to the flowchart.

4A and 4B are flow charts showing the editing process at the time of creating a document in this embodiment.

In FIG. 4A, first, in step S1, a key code fetching process is performed. In step S2, it is determined whether or not the obtained key is a general key, and if it is a general key, the process proceeds to step S3 to perform general processing. If the key is not a general key, the corresponding special process is performed in step S4, and the process ends.

The contents of the special processing described above are shown in FIG.
Here, it is first determined in step S5 whether the key is the mode setting key. If it is the mode setting key, the mode setting process is performed in step S7, and the process ends.

If a negative determination is made in step S5, it is determined in step S6 whether or not the key is the merge position setting key. In the case of the merge position setting key, merge position setting processing is performed in step S8, and the processing ends. Otherwise, another process is performed in step S9, and the process ends.

In the mode setting process of step S7, the setting flag of the corresponding mode is turned ON when turned OFF, and turned OFF when turned ON. As a result, if the flag is ON when entering characters,
Bit-wise corresponding mode information is set to the current position of the attribute area TB_a of TB in FIG. 3 (B). This will be described with reference to FIG. 7 (A).
The "bl": bold mode flag is set in bit units in each attribute area of the character input when bold mode is ON.

In the general processing of step S3 shown in FIG. 4A, the current position TB of the character area TB_c of TB is set.
At the same time as setting the input character code in _c [TB_P], corresponding attribute information is set in the attribute area TB_a [TB_P] at the same position as described above according to the mode flag.

In the merge position setting process of step S8, TB
Character area TB_c current position TB_c [TB_
Set the merge position code in [P]. The code set by this is OB_P_M shown in FIG. 7 (A).
Corresponds to the position "".

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the entire merge function process.

In step S10, as an initial process of the merge process, the original document is set to OB, the merge document is set to MB, the character count of the merge document is set, and the number of characters to be merged is set to CNT as a predetermined position in RAM3. .

In step S11, the original document buffer pointer OB_P is set to the head position OB_P_I. Next, in step S12, it is checked whether the content of OB_c pointed to by OB_P is the document end code "E _OF ". As a result, if it is not "E _OF ", it is determined in step S13 whether or not the content is "", that is, a merge position code.

If it is the merge position code, it is necessary to perform the merge process on the corresponding position, so the merge process is performed in step S14, and the process returns to step S12 again. On the contrary, if it is not the merge position code, the pointer OB_P is incremented in step S15, and the process returns to step S12 again.

If "E _OF " is determined in step S12, it is determined in step S16 whether the print mode is set. As a result, when it is determined that the print mode is set, print processing is performed in step S18. If the print mode is not set, the OB contents are changed to FD5 in step S17.
Processing such as saving to

6A and 6B show step S14 shown in FIG.
It is a flowchart which shows the content of (merge processing) in detail.

First, in step S19 shown in FIG. 6 (A), the merge document buffer pointer MB_P is set to the head position MB_P_I, and in step S20, the contents of the original document after the merge position are moved to the rear.

FIG. 6 (B) is a flowchart showing details of step S20. In step S25 shown in this figure, OP is set to the current pointer OB_P as a work pointer.
In step S26, it is determined whether or not the content of the OB pointed to by this OP is "E _OF ". As a result, if it is not "E _OF ", OP is incremented in step S27 and the process returns to step S26 again. Here, the end of the original document is detected and its position is obtained by OP.

When "E _OF " is detected in step S26, the control is transferred to step S28, and "E _OF " is counted by a predetermined count number (CNT
-1) Original buffer if moved to the rear
Determine whether there is a risk of protruding from the OB. That is, when OB_P_MAX- {OP + (CNT-1)} is negative,
Since the buffer overflows, the last buffer pointer OP to be moved is set to OB_P_MAX- (CNT-1) in step S29.
Set OB_c [OB_P_MAX] to "E _OF " at the same time.

If a negative determination is made in step S28 (in the case of positive) and if step S29 is executed, the OP is in the merge position OB_P (OB_P_M) in step S30.
Is determined. As a result, if it is not OB_P, it means that the moving process is not completed yet. Therefore, in step S31, the content of the OB pointed to by OP is OP + (CNT-1).
Move to the OB pointed to by.

The OP is decremented in step S32, and the determination is performed again in step S30.

If it is determined in step S30 that OP = OB_P, it is determined that the character movement of the original document for merging is completed,
The process of S20 ends.

Returning to FIG. 6 (A) again, step S21 and subsequent steps will be described. In step S21, whether MB_c [MP_P] is "E _OF " (whether all the merged documents have been merged into the original document) Is determined. As a result, if it is not "E _OF ", OB_P is OB_P in step S22.
It is determined whether it is P_MAX.

If a negative determination is made in step S22, merge is executed in step S23. That is, MB_c [MB_
The contents of P] are moved to OB_c [OB_P], and the characters are merged. Next, if MP_a is "0", it means that the original document merge position has no mode specified, so the merge document mode is enabled and MB_a [MB_P] is moved (copied) to OB_a [OB_P]. , Merge Document Set the current position mode to the original document current position attribute area. When MP_a is other than “0” (that is, when the attribute bit flag is set), it means that the mode is specified in the original document merge position, so MP_a is set to OB_a [OB_
P) and set the merge position specification mode to the attribute area of the current position of the original document.

Then, in step S24, OB_P and MB_P are both incremented, and the process returns to step S21.

Merge is realized by the loop described above, and step S2
1 or when a positive determination is obtained in step S22,
The process ends.

In the above-described embodiment, the mode set for the merge document is valid only when the mode is not specified for the merge position in the original document.
It is also possible to validate both attributes by obtaining the logical sum of the content of the attribute area) and the mode of each position in the merge document (that is, the content of the attribute area).

As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, whether the mode of the merge position is valid for the document after the merge is executed depending on whether the mode (that is, attribute information) is set in the merge position,
Alternatively, it is possible to select whether to enable the merge document mode. For example, when the mode is set to the merge position, the mode is set to the entire document merged to the position after executing the merge.

In this way, the modes of merge documents having different modes can be easily unified by simply setting the mode of the merge position when creating the original document. Thus, it is not necessary to individually set the mode for each merged document, and the operator's labor can be saved, and at the same time, the operation error can be suppressed to the minimum.

Further, when it is desired to set a different mode for each merge document, the mode of each merge document is kept alive even after the merge is executed by not setting the mode at the merge position. As a result, detailed document information can be obtained according to the purpose of merging.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the first attribute information set in the pointing position indicated by the insertion instruction information and the second attribute information set in the character information corresponding to the character to be inserted. Based on the above, it is possible to create a detailed document according to the purpose of merging by determining the attribute of the character information when the character information is inserted into the document information and printed. The effect can be obtained.
