Description

The present invention relates to a data input device for inputting characters such as symbols and signs in Japanese word processors, typewriters and the like.

[Prior Art] Generally, to input symbol data such as Katsuko,
The character data is input after operating the ▲ [(] ▼ key, and then the corresponding ▲ [)] ▼ key is operated to input the symbol data.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, when a large number of symbols are used, finding a desired symbol key from a keyboard in which a large number of symbol keys are arranged has been a heavy burden on the operator. Moreover,
Immediately before operating the symbol key, it was necessary to operate the mode key to change to the symbol mode. As described above, there is a drawback that the key operation becomes complicated for inputting the symbol data.

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to automatically input the other data of data such as a pair of symbols.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Means of the present invention are as follows.

The data storage means stores a plurality of symbol data including first and second symbol data paired with each other.

The first input means inputs desired one symbol data among various symbol data stored in the data storage means.

The display means displays the symbol data input by the first input means.

The second input means is input by the first input means when a predetermined key for inputting the next symbol data is operated after the symbol data is input by the first input means. When the selected symbol data is used as one symbol data, the other symbol data forming a pair is selected, and the selected other symbol data is input.

[Operation] The operation of the means of the present invention is as follows.

A plurality of symbol data including first and second symbol data forming a pair are stored in the data storage means. And
When one desired symbol data of the various symbol data input devices stored in the data storage means is input from the first input means, the symbol data input by the first input means is displayed on the display means. And after the symbol data is input by the first input means,
When the predetermined key for inputting the next symbol data is operated, when the symbol data input by the first input means is used as one symbol data, the other symbol data forming a pair is displayed. The selected other symbol data is input by the second input means.

As described above, the data input device automatically inputs and selects the other symbol data corresponding to the symbol data when the next symbol data is input by inputting the paired symbol data. .

Therefore, it is possible to automatically input the other data of the data such as the paired symbols.

〔Example〕

(1) Configuration FIG. 1 is a circuit configuration diagram of a word processor. Reference numeral 1 is an input unit equipped with symbol keys and the like, and 2 is a CPU. The data input from the input unit 1 is input to the input buffer 3 via the CPU 2. The CPU 2 retrieves the kanji data corresponding to the kana data in the input buffer 3 from the dictionary 4, stores the kana-kanji mixed sentence in the document memory 5, displays it on the display unit 6 and prints it on the printing unit 7. A RAM 8 has storage areas such as an input pointer IP for storing the address of the input buffer 3 and a memory pointer CP for storing the address of the document memory. Reference numeral 9 indicates a character font pattern for display and printing, and a program for operating the CPU.
It is OM. Reference numeral 10 is a correspondence table RAM that stores correspondences of data such as paired symbols.

(2) Operation FIGS. 2A and 2B are display state diagrams. The same figure (a)
Enter the character data (marked with ○ in the figure) and then ▲ [“] ▼
"""Data is input by the key operation and is displayed, but when the ▲ ["] ▼ key is operated, the """data is read from the correspondence table 10 by the operation described later. When the character key ▲ [A] ▼ is operated in this state, "A" is input and """at the cursor position is displayed as shown in Fig. 2 (b). The data moves to the right by one character, and when the character key ▲ [B] ▼ is operated, the state similarly becomes as shown in Fig. 2 (c). , When you operate a specific key, such as the execute key, """data is input at the cursor position at this time,
The state shown in FIG. 2 (d) is obtained. When the cursor is returned in the state of FIG. 2 (c), the state shown in FIG. 2 (e) is obtained. In FIG. 2 (f), after the ▲ [“] ▼ key, further ▲
This shows the display state when the [(] ▼ key is operated, and ")" and """are highlighted at the cursor position. In this case, the first execution key operation causes the") "data to be displayed. Then, the next execution key is used to input "" data.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the CPU2,
S ₁ to S ₉ are operation when operating the symbol key, S ₁₀ ~S _13, S ₉
Is a character key, S _{14 to} S ₁₉ and S ₉ are cursor keys, S _{20 to} S
₂₃ and S ₉ show the operation when the execute key is operated.

Symbol Code As shown in FIG. 3 flowchart S ₁ when the symbol key is operated is inputted to the input buffer 3, S ₂
The input pointer IP is updated with. And at S ₃ ,
Searches the correspondence table 9 symbols data corresponding to the input symbol data, and writes the corresponding symbolic data to the input buffer 3 in S ₄ to S _7. Then set a flag to indicate that the other corresponding symbolic data is read in S _8, and displays the data in the input buffer 3 in S _9. The display state at this time is as shown in FIG.

When a character key is operated, as shown in S ₁₀ to S _13, to move the symbol data on the input pointer to the right by one character. The display state at this time is as shown in FIG.

When operating the cursor keys, as shown in S ₁₄ to S _19, the input save the symbol data on the pointer IP, and updates the input pointer IP after moving the cursor moving direction of the character on the input pointer IP Move the cursor and write the saved symbol data to the moved position. For example, second
When the cursor is moved to the left by one character in the state of FIG. 2 (c), it becomes as shown in FIG. 2 (e).

When inputting the symbol data displayed at the cursor position, the execute key is operated. As shown in S ₂₀ to S ₂₃ when this moves the input pointer IP +1 Mr cursor one character to the right, may be released at the highlighted symbol data. For example, when the execute key is operated in the state of FIG. 2 (c), the result is as shown in FIG. 2 (d).

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, the other data of the data such as a pair of symbols can be automatically input, and the input operation of the other data of the pair can be simplified. .
