[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing method and a document processing apparatus having a function of inserting another document into a specific position of a certain document.

[0002]

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

[0003]

However, in the conventional document processing apparatus, the character mode in the document (original document) to be merged (particularly, the setting of the mode made regarding the insertion position (merge position)) is
Documents to be merged (merged documents)
On the other hand, it does not have any effectiveness (binding power) after execution of the 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 inserted merge document and the mode setting is not performed. become.

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

Further, among the conventionally known document processing apparatuses, there are models in which the character mode of the merge document cannot be individually set.

As a result, there is a drawback that not only the operability of the document processing apparatus is lacked, 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-mentioned point, the object of the present invention is to easily and quickly confirm the inserted document and edit it by storing the document in which the insertion process is completed in the external storage device. A document processing method and a document processing apparatus configured as described above are provided.

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

In this embodiment, the document information is sequentially input from the KB 6 under the control of the CPU 1. This input document information is temporarily stored in the RAM 3 and at the same time C
Displayed on RT4. Then, after being edited, it is recorded on the FD 5 or printed by the PRT 11. Here, each command is input from the KB 6, and the character string mode setting, merge position and the like in this embodiment are also set in the document information. Further, the inserting function is also instructed by KB6.

Next, the control procedure of this embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to the flow chart.

5 and 6 are flow charts showing the editing process at the time of creating a document in this embodiment.

In FIG. 5, first, in step S1, a key code acquisition process is performed. In step S2, it is determined whether or not the obtained key is a general key. If the key 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, first, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the key is the mode setting key. In the case of 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 it 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, when the setting flag of the corresponding mode is turned off, it is turned on.
To turn it on, turn it off. As a result, if the flag is ON at the time of character input, the corresponding mode information in bit units is set to the current position of the attribute area TB_a of TB in FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG. 10. The bold mode flag is set in bit units in each attribute area of the character input when the bold mode is ON.

In the general processing of step S3 shown in FIG. 5, the character code input to the current position TB_c [TB_P] of the character area TB_c of TB is set, and at the same time, the same position is set according to the mode flag as described above. Attribute area TB_a of
The corresponding attribute information is set in [TB_P].

In the merge position setting process of step S8, a merge position code (M with bar) is set in the current position TB_c [TB_P] of the character area TB_c of TB. The code thus set corresponds to "M with bar" at the OB_P_M position shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the overall merge function processing.

In step S10, as the initial process of the merge process, the original document is set to OB and the merge document is set to MB, the character count of the merge document is performed, and the number of characters to be merged is set to CNT. Set to.

In step S11, the original document buffer pointer OB_P is set to the start position OB_.
Set to P_I. Then, in step S12, O
It is checked whether or not the content of OB_c pointed to by B_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 "M with bar", that is, the merge position code.

If it is the merge position code, it is necessary to perform the merge process at the corresponding position.
The merge process is performed at 14, 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, the print process is performed in step S18. If the print mode is not set, step S
At 17, processing such as saving the contents of the OB in the FD 5 is performed.

8 and 9 show the step S shown in FIG.
14 is a flowchart showing in detail the contents of 14 (merge processing).

First, in step S19 shown in FIG. 8, the merge document buffer pointer MB_P is set to the head position M.
B_P_I is set, and in step S20, a process of moving the contents of the original document after the merge position to the rear part is performed.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing details of step S20. In step S25 shown in the figure, OP is used as a work pointer and the current pointer OB_
Set to P. 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.
Here, the tail end of the original document is detected, and its position is obtained in OP.

When "E _OF " is detected in step S26, the control is shifted to step S28, and when "E _OF " is moved backward by a predetermined count number (CNT-1), the original buffer OB is removed. Judge whether there is a risk of protrusion. That is, OB_P_MAX-
If {OP + (CNT-1)} is negative, the buffer overflows, so the last buffer pointer OP to be moved in step S29 is OB_P_MAX- (CNT-.
1) and at the same time OB_c [OB_P_MAX]
Set "E _OF " to.

When a negative determination is made in step S28 (in the case of positive) and when step S29 is executed, it is determined in step S30 whether OP is the merge position OB_P (OB_P_M). It As a result, if it is not OB_P, it means that the moving process has not been completed yet, so in step S31, the contents of the OB pointed to by OP are moved to the OB pointed by OP + (CNT-1).

In step S32, the OP is decremented, and in step S30 the determination is made again.

In step S30, OP = OB
If it is determined to be _P, it is determined that the character movement of the original document for merging has ended, and the process of step S20 ends.

Returning to FIG. 8 again, step S21 and subsequent steps will be described. In step S21, it is determined whether MB_c [MP_P] is "E _OF " (whether all the merged documents are merged into the original document). To be judged. As a result, if it is not "E _OF ", it is determined in step S22 whether OB_P is OB_P_MAX.

If a negative determination is made in step S22, merge is executed in step S23. That is, the content of MB_c [MB_P] is changed to OB_c [OB_
P] to merge the characters. Next, MP
If _a is "0", it means that the original document merge position has no mode specified. Therefore, the merge document mode is enabled and MB_a
Move [MB_P] to OB_a [OB_P] (copy)
Then, the mode of the merge document current position is set to the attribute area of the original document current position. Further, 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.
a is moved (copied) to OB_a [OB_P], and the merge position designation mode is set to the attribute area of the original document current position.

Then, in step S24, OB--
Both P and MB_P are incremented, and the process returns to step S21.

When the merge is realized by the loop described above and a positive determination is obtained in step S21 or step S22, the process ends.

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

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, whether or not 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.

As described above, the modes of merge documents having different modes can be easily unified by simply setting the merge position mode 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 effective after the merge is executed by not setting the mode at the relevant merge position. Become. As a result, detailed document information can be obtained according to the purpose of merging.

[0056]

As described above, according to the present invention, the attribute information is given to each character of the "insertion character string" to be inserted in the document, and the attribute information previously given to the insertion position in the document. Since the attributes of each character included in the above "inserted character string" are determined according to the relationship with, and stored in an external storage device, the stored contents can be saved, and then inserted. Not only can the document be checked, but it can be edited later.
