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 data of one of a pair of data such as a pair of symbols that sandwiches character data and the like.

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

The input means inputs the first data such as characters and the second data such as symbols and codes.

The corresponding data storage means stores the second data such as the symbol and the code, and the third data such as the symbol and the code that form a pair with the second data.
Memorize the data of.

The storage means stores various data input from the input means.

The first storage control means stores the first data input from the input means in the storage means after the second data input from the input means.

The reading means reads the third data corresponding to the second data from the corresponding data storage means when a predetermined designation is made.

The second storage control means, when the third data is read by the reading means, the read third data is followed by the stored first data, and then the storage means. To memorize.

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

The second data such as symbols and codes and the third data such as symbols and codes that form a pair with the second data are stored in the corresponding data storage means, and various data input from the input means are stored in the storage means. Remembered. Then, the first data input from the input unit is stored in the storage unit following the second data input from the input unit under the control of the first storage control unit, and a predetermined designation is made. The third data corresponding to the second data is read by the reading means from the corresponding data storage means, and when the third data is read, the third data is read. Further, the third data is stored in the storage under the control of the second storage control means after the stored first data.

Therefore, it is possible to automatically input the data of one of the pair of data such as a pair of symbols that sandwiches the character data and the like.

〔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 searches the dictionary 4 for kanji data corresponding to the kana data in the input buffer 3, stores the kana-kanji mixed sentence in the document memory 5, displays the kana-kanji mixed sentence 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 is a ROM for storing character font patterns for display and printing and programs for CPU processing operations. Reference numeral 10 is a correspondence table RAM that stores correspondences of data such as paired symbols.

(2) Operation FIG. 2 is a display state diagram, and the o marks indicate characters. FIG. 6A shows a state in which "" data has already been input and displayed. When inputting """data at the cursor position in FIG. 9A, if a specific key such as an execution key is operated without operating the symbol key ▲ [”] ▼, it will be input in advance as described later. Whether or not there is symbol data in the retrieved data is searched, and the data corresponding to the retrieved symbol data is read from the correspondence table RAM 10 and automatically input. It is a figure which shows the state in which the corresponding data was input into FIG. 2 (b).

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the operation of the CPU 2 when the execution key is operated. In S ₁ , it is detected whether or not there is data in the input buffer 3, and if there is data in the input buffer 3, the input buffer 3 is processed in S _{2 and} subsequent steps S _7.
A search is made as to whether or not one of the data in the correspondence table 10 is present and the other data is read from the correspondence table 10. Data read from the table 10 at S ₇ is, S ₉
At, the data is read to the input position of the input buffer 3. S ₁
If there is no data in the input buffer 3 with, or S ₄
When the search in the input buffer 3 is completed with, S _{11 and} below S ₁₈
By the processing of 1, the search of the correspondence table 10 for one data in the document memory 5 and the reading of the other data from the correspondence table 10 are executed, and the read data is input in S ₉ described above. It is written in the buffer 3. S ₁₄
In after retrieval of the data in the document memory 5 has been completed and the process is terminated returning the memory pointer CP to its original state at S _19.

Incidentally, in the search of the correspondence table in the state shown in FIG. 4, it is detected that the data of "" and """have been input as a pair of data, and"("data of the other data" ) ”Is read from the correspondence table.
When there are many symbols and the like in the document, each symbol may be detected in order, and corresponding data may be sequentially read from the correspondence table and selected by the operator.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, when inputting and storing data such as characters and symbols, one of the pair of data such as symbols which sandwiches the character data is automatically input. Therefore, the operation of inputting one of the paired data can be simplified.
