[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional document processing apparatus having this kind of ruled line display function, there is known a document processing apparatus which stores ruled line data as vector ruled line data as coordinate values and displays them on a screen. In such a document processing apparatus, the coordinates of the sentence data are the character coordinates, the coordinates of the ruled line data are the ruled line coordinates, and each has its own coordinate data, and the sentence and the ruled lines are displayed simultaneously on the screen.

Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-3030 discloses that characters and ruled lines can be moved, copied and deleted at the same time.
A document creation method described in Japanese Patent No. 9171 is known.
This is because the ruled line and the line maintain a relative positional relationship, so that the ruled line and the related line always have interlocking information indicating the positional relationship, and whether the target ruled line exists when moving the line. It is checked whether or not there is a target ruled line, and the ruled line is also moved in association with the line.

On the other hand, a character dedicated to ruled lines is prepared,
There is known a document processing apparatus that handles ruled line data as character ruled lines in the same manner as characters. In such a document processing device, the character ruled line is treated as a part of the character, and the sentence and the ruled line are displayed on the screen.

[0005]

However, in a document processing apparatus in which ruled line data is stored as vector ruled line data as coordinate values and is displayed on the screen, it is not possible to hold coordinate data between text data and ruled line data. Because it is different, even if the character and the ruled line are displayed on the same line,
The coordinate values do not match. Therefore, for example, when moving table data, it is not possible to move the characters and the ruled lines at the same time, and it is necessary to move the characters and the ruled lines separately, such as moving the ruled lines after moving the characters. there were.

Further, in the document creating method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-309171, since interlocking information is provided for each ruled line, interlocking information increases as the number of ruled lines increases, and a large storage capacity is required. Met.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such circumstances, and in a document processing apparatus using vector ruled lines, when a table is moved or copied when a document is edited, characters and ruled lines are used. It is an object of the present invention to combine and automate a series of moving / copying operations of (1) to process ruled lines and characters at the same time or in succession to reduce the work man-hour of the user and reduce the burden.

In addition, in a document processing apparatus using character ruled lines, when moving, copying, or erasing a character ruled line, the character ruled lines adjacent to the source and destination are converted to form the ruled line. The purpose is to reduce the trouble of re-entering ruled lines.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The present invention is not limited to this.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the present apparatus is a Japanese word processor that stores ruled line data as vector ruled line data as coordinate values and displays them on a screen.

In the figure, 1 is a CPU (central processing unit) for executing programs, 2 is a RAM for storing various data, 3 is a ROM for storing a control program, 4 is a key interface, 5 is a keyboard, and 6 is A display controller, 7 is a display device.

The key interface 4 is a keyboard 5
The key pressed by is discriminated and the data signal corresponding to the discriminated key is output. The display controller 6 converts the data from the CPU 1 and displays it on the display device 7.

From the keyboard 5, text data and ruled line data consisting of a large number of character data are input. CPU
1 stores the input text data and ruled line data in the RAM 2, and displays the stored text data and ruled line data via the display controller 6. Then, the character coordinates of each displayed character and the ruled line coordinates of each ruled line are stored in the RAM 2.

Further, when the area is designated by the cursor for editing processing such as erasing, moving, copying, etc. for the character stored in the RAM 2, the CPU 1 or the ruled line included in the designated area, or The ruled line coordinates of the ruled lines adjacent to the boundary of the designated area are converted into character coordinates, and the ruled lines at the converted character coordinates are stored in the RAM 2.

Thereafter, for example, if the movement is designated as the editing process, the character is moved to the destination, the ruled line coordinates of the stored ruled line are calculated from the character coordinates of the moved destination, and the calculated ruled line coordinate position is set. , Move the stored ruled line.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of how to hold the coordinate values of the text data and the ruled line data. As shown in this figure, the character has a vertical coordinate value for the number of lines of the character and a horizontal coordinate value for the number of columns of the character, with the upper left corner of the screen as the origin, and these are expressed as the character coordinates. Then, the ruled line is drawn at two places, that is, directly above the character and between the characters, and similarly, with the upper left corner of the screen as the origin, one character is divided into two.
It is the divided coordinate value, which is expressed as the ruled line coordinate.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the processing contents when editing text and ruled lines. When editing a text (character) and a ruled line, it is first checked whether or not the text is edited (step 21). The text editing in this case includes ruled line simultaneous editing. If it is not text editing, it is checked whether it is ruled line editing (step 22). If it is ruled line editing, ruled line editing processing is performed (step 23).

In step 21, if it is text editing, text editing processing is performed (step 24), and it is checked whether ruled line simultaneous editing is performed (step 25). If it is not the ruled line simultaneous editing, the processing is terminated. If it is the ruled line simultaneous editing, the ruled line editing processing of step 23 is performed,
The process ends. In this case, data such as the area obtained in the text editing process is delivered.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the detailed processing contents of the ruled line editing processing in FIG. In the ruled line editing process, first, it is checked whether only the ruled line outer frame is present (step 31). If it is not only the ruled line outer frame, the ruled line frame inside editing process is performed (step 32) to determine whether the ruled line outer frame is only inside. Is checked (step 33). If it is not only within the ruled line frame, the ruled line outer frame editing process is performed (step 34).

If only the ruled line outer frame is present in step 31, the ruled line outer frame editing process in step 34 is performed. Also,
In step 33, if it is only within the ruled line frame, the process is ended as it is.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the detailed processing contents of the ruled line frame inside editing process and the ruled line frame outside editing process in FIG. The difference between the inside-ruled-frame editing process and the outside-ruled-line frame editing process is whether the ruled line is inside the frame of the character area to be edited or outside the frame. Basically, the same ruled line processing is performed. Is.

In this ruled line processing, the ruled line coordinates are converted into character coordinates (step 41), and the ruled lines at the converted character coordinates are stored (step 42). The ruled line coordinates are calculated from the character coordinates of (step 43), and the saved ruled line is pasted at that position (step 44).

8 to 11 are explanatory views showing an example of the ruled line text simultaneous editing processing. For example, when a ruled line text simultaneous editing process is performed on a table as shown in FIG. 8 to move the characters “(1) and (2)” in the figure, only the movement within the ruled line frame is required. When this is done, the editing result is as shown in FIG. 9, and when only the ruled line outer frame is moved, the editing result is as shown in FIG. 10, and when both the inside and outside of the ruled line frame are moved, FIG. The editing result is as shown in.

In this application, if only the outer frame of the ruled line is erased or only the text and the frame are moved / copied to the table as shown in FIG. 12, the editing result as shown in FIG. If only the inside of the frame is erased or only the text and the outer frame of the ruled line are moved, the editing result will be as shown in FIG. 14, and if only the text is moved or all the ruled lines are erased, the editing as shown in FIG. Will result.

In this way, in text editing including ruled lines, when moving, copying, or erasing text, the ruled lines are similarly moved, copied, or erased, so that conventionally two separate operations are performed. Is one function,
And you can do it only once. As a result, the number of times of entering and leaving a plurality of functions is reduced, and the degree of freedom in designating an area is increased.

Embodiment 2 In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the present apparatus is a Japanese word processor in which a character dedicated to ruled lines is prepared and the ruled line data is treated as a character ruled line in the same manner as a character. In this Example 2,
Since the basic structure is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

In this apparatus, the character ruled lines to be converted and the character ruled lines to be converted are stored in advance in the ROM 3 as a character ruled line conversion table.

Text data including a large number of character data and character ruled line data is input from the keyboard 5. The CPU 1 stores the input text data in the RAM 2 and displays it on the display device 7 via the display controller 6.

When an area is designated by the cursor for editing processing such as erasing, moving, copying, etc. for the character stored in the RAM 2, the CPU 1 edits the character in the designated area. After that, the presence or absence of character ruled lines is recognized for each of the upper, lower, left, and right inside the specified region and outside the specified region that are adjacent to the boundary of the specified region before and after the editing process, and there is a character ruled line. In this case, the type of the adjacent character ruled line and the type of the character ruled line to be converted are determined, and the character ruled line conversion table is referenced to determine the type of the adjacent character ruled line and the type of the character ruled line to be converted. , The character ruled line to be converted is searched, and the character ruled line is converted.

The character ruled line is a character, and the shape of the ruled line is set corresponding to the code. Therefore, for example, when a ruled line and a ruled line intersect with each other, if they are vector ruled lines, they can be crossed so that they pass through the same coordinates. However, in the case of a character ruled line, a code is converted to a different character ruled line. Should be displayed at the intersection. Moreover, it is necessary to determine which shape of the character ruled line is to be displayed depending on the condition.

In this device, in order to solve this, a ROM
3, the character ruled line conversion table as described above is provided. This makes it possible to recognize which shape of character ruled line should be converted depending on the condition.

16 to 27 are explanatory views showing a character ruled line conversion table. 16 to 19 show normal conversion tables, FIGS. 20 to 23 show thick line priority conversion tables, and FIGS. 24 to 27 show thin line priority conversion tables.

In the drawings of these conversion tables, the leftmost column shows the character ruled lines to be converted, and the uppermost row shows the adjacent character ruled lines in the directions of up, down, left, and right. Is shown. That is, FIG. 16 and FIG.
0, in FIG. 24, character ruled lines adjacent to each other in the upper direction,
17, 21 and 25 are adjacent to each other in the lower direction, in FIGS. 18, 22 and 26 are adjacent to each other in the left direction, and in each of FIGS. 19, 23 and 27 are adjacent to the right direction. A matching character ruled line is shown. Then, the intersection of the "character ruled line to be converted" on the left side and the "adjacent character ruled line" on the upper side indicates the "character ruled line to be converted".

Since the character ruled lines have a fixed shape as described above, a feeling of strangeness occurs when connecting character ruled lines having different thicknesses. In such a case, the conversion table corresponding to the bold line or thin line is referred to depending on whether it is prioritized. That is, FIGS. 16 to 19 are normally referred to, FIGS. 20 to 23 are referred to when the thick line is prioritized, and FIGS. 24 to 27 are referred to when the thin line is prioritized.

28 to 37 are flow charts showing the processing contents at the moving / copying destination when the moving / copying is performed by designating the area for the text (character). In these figures, FIG. 28 shows the processing when converting the ruled lines in the designated area, and FIGS. 29 to 32 show the detailed processing contents of FIG. Further, FIG. 33 shows a process for converting adjacent portions outside the designated area, and FIGS.
The detailed processing contents of are shown.

When converting the ruled line in the designated area in the processing at the move / copy destination, first, as shown in FIG. 28, the conversion mode is checked (step 5).
1). This check determines whether to refer to the table for normal conversion, the table for thick line priority conversion, or the table for thin line priority conversion, in normal conversion mode, thick line priority conversion mode, or thin line priority conversion mode. It is a check to know what.

Next, it is checked whether or not it is adjacent to the boundary portion in the designated area above, that is, whether it is the first line in the designated area (step 52). A character ruled line conversion process is performed (step 53), and it is checked whether or not it is adjacent to a boundary portion in the designated area below (step 54). If it is adjacent below, a lower character ruled line conversion process is performed (step). 55).

Then, it is checked whether or not the boundary portion in the designated area is adjacent on the left side (step 56), and if it is adjacent on the left side, the left character ruled line conversion processing is performed (step 5).
7) It is checked whether or not it is adjacent to the boundary part on the right side in the designated area (step 58), and if it is adjacent on the right side, right character ruled line conversion processing is performed (step 59) to check the character ruled line. When it is finished, the process moves to the check of the next character, and when it is finished, the process is finished (step 60).

FIG. 29 is a flow chart showing the detailed contents of the "upper character ruled line conversion processing" shown in step 53 of FIG. In the upper character ruled line conversion processing, it is checked whether or not there is a character ruled line on the opposite side (upper side) across the ruled line boundary (step 61). If there is a character ruled line, the type of the character ruled line that is adjacent to the above is detected. (Step 62), the type of character ruled line is
For example, if the checked conversion mode is the normal conversion mode, it is checked whether it exists in the "upper conversion table" of FIG. 16 (step 63).

Here, if present, inside the designated area,
The type of character ruled line adjacent to the character ruled line on the boundary is checked (step 64), and the character ruled line to be converted is searched using the "upper conversion table" of FIG. 16 (step 65). In this case, the character ruled lines in the designated area correspond to the character ruled lines in the leftmost column in FIG. 16, and the character ruled lines outside the designated area correspond to the character ruled lines in the uppermost row, and these intersected lines. Adopt the position character ruled line. Then, it is converted into the adopted character ruled line (step 66).

In step 61, if there is no character ruled line on the opposite side (upper side) of the ruled line boundary, it is checked whether or not there is a blank instead of the character ruled line (step 67), and if there is, the process proceeds to step 64. If not, the process ends.

Similarly, FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing the detailed contents of the "lower character ruled line conversion process" shown in step 55 of FIG. 28, and FIG. 31 is the "left character ruled line conversion process" shown in step 57 of FIG. FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the detailed contents, and FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the detailed contents of the “right character ruled line conversion processing” shown in step 59 of FIG. 28. At the boundaries of the upward, downward, left, and right directions. Check. With this, 4 per character
After checking the direction, the process returns to step 60 in FIG. 28 to check the next character.

In the processing at the move / copy destination, when converting adjacent portions outside the designated area, first, as shown in FIG. 33, the conversion mode is checked (step 71). Next, it is checked whether or not it is adjacent to the boundary portion in the designated area below (step 72), and if it is adjacent below, the lower character ruled line conversion processing is performed (step 7).
3) Then, it is checked whether or not it is adjacent to the boundary portion in the designated area on the upper side (step 74), and if it is on the upper side, upper character ruled line conversion processing is performed (step 75).

Then, it is checked whether or not the boundary portion in the designated area is adjacent on the right side (step 76), and if it is adjacent on the right side, right character ruled line conversion processing is performed (step 7).
7) It is checked whether or not it is adjacent to the boundary part on the left in the designated area (step 78). If it is adjacent on the left, a left character ruled line conversion process is performed (step 79) to check the character ruled line. When it is finished, the process moves to the check of the next character, and when it is finished, the process is finished (step 80).

FIG. 34 is a flow chart showing the detailed contents of the "lower character ruled line conversion processing" shown in step 73 of FIG. This lower character ruled line conversion processing is basically the same as the lower character ruled line conversion processing shown in FIG. 30, except for the processing within the area and the processing outside the area. That is, the difference from FIG. 30 is that step 81
The point is to check the type of character ruled line outside the boundary. In this process, the type of character ruled line outside the specified area is checked.

FIG. 35 is a flow chart showing the detailed contents of the "upper character ruled line conversion process" shown in step 75 of FIG. 33, and FIG. 36 shows the detailed contents of the "right character ruled line conversion process" shown in step 77 of FIG. FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the detailed contents of the “left character ruled line conversion processing” shown in step 79 of FIG. 33. FIG. 35 is FIG. 29, FIG. 36 is FIG. 32, and FIG.
31 correspond to FIG. 31, respectively, and the processing is basically the same except the processing inside the area and the processing outside the area.

In contrast to the ruled line conversion processing in the designated area shown in FIG. 28, FIG. 33 shows processing at the source, at the time of erasing, and at the destination of copying. In other words, the process of FIG. 28 is a process of converting the character ruled line in the designated area.
The process of 3 is a process of converting a character ruled line outside the specified area, that is, a character ruled line adjacent to the boundary line of the specified area outside the boundary line.

38 to 41 are explanatory views showing an example of character ruled line conversion. In these figures, FIG. 38 shows an example of conversion in the normal conversion mode, and FIG. 39 shows an example of no conversion in the normal conversion mode. 2 at the bottom of FIG. 39
No. 3 shows an example when not converting because the thickness is different.
FIG. 40 shows an example of conversion in the thick line priority conversion mode, and is an example of conversion according to a thick line when the thicknesses are different. In this case, when the thin line and the thick line are connected, the thin line is converted into the thick line by way of example. In contrast to FIG. 40, FIG. 41 shows an example of conversion in the thin line priority conversion mode, and shows an example in which a thick line is converted to a thin line when a thin line and a thick line are connected. Note that it is also possible to create a table for other conditions by rewriting the conversion table.

42 to 45 are explanatory views showing an example in which the character ruled line conversion is performed on the table. Figure 46-
FIG. 49 is an explanatory view showing the character ruled lines disassembled character by character. FIG. 42 is FIG. 46, and FIG. 43 is FIG.
44 corresponds to FIG. 48, and FIG. 45 corresponds to FIG. 49.

As shown in these figures, for example, FIG.
43. If the hatched part of is moved or erased, if the character ruled line is not converted, as shown in FIG. 43, a part of the ruled line remains, but the character ruled line which seems to remain is converted. By doing so, a table as shown in FIG. 44 can be obtained.

Further, when the hatched portion in FIG. 42 is moved or copied to the table as shown in FIG. 44, if the character ruled line is not converted, as shown in FIG. 45, the ruled line is partially missing. However, by converting the character ruled lines that appear to be partially missing, a table as shown in FIG. 42 can be obtained.

In this way, when the character ruled lines forming the table are subjected to editing processing such as moving / copying / erasing, the character ruled lines of the moving source or the erasing source, or the moving destination or the copying destination are unnatural. However, by converting this character ruled line, a table with a natural shape can be obtained. As a result, it is possible to simplify the operation when using the character ruled line, shorten the working time, and the like.

Specifically, when editing a table or the like using character ruled lines, it is possible to assist the user in a troublesome modification work. For example, when the hatched portion in FIG. 42 described above is moved or erased, if the character ruled line is not converted, as shown in FIG. 43, a part of the ruled line remains, and if this is converted manually, 3 Although character ruled lines for characters will be input again, by specifying an area and executing it, it is possible to automatically correct the character ruled lines. Further, various patterns can be used by changing the conversion table.

[0071]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, for example, at the time of editing processing such as moving a character, the ruled line coordinate of the ruled line is calculated from the character coordinate of the destination of the character, and the ruled line is moved to the calculated ruled line coordinate position. Since this is done, the character and the ruled line associated with the character can be moved continuously with one designation. As a result, the work man-hours of the user can be reduced and the burden can be reduced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the character ruled lines are moved, copied, erased, etc. together with the characters, the character ruled lines adjacent to the source and destination areas are moved, for example, in the case of movement processing. , Based on the ruled line conversion table,
Since it is converted into a regular character ruled line, it is possible to simplify the operation and shorten the character ruled line modification work.
