2. Description of the Related Art In a document preparation apparatus, the input position, the designated position, the copy position, etc. of a document on a display unit are usually designated and displayed by a cursor. Therefore, in the document creating apparatus, it is necessary for the user to quickly move the cursor to a desired position and return it to the original position.

In order to move the cursor, the current cursor position is stored, and then the cursor is moved to a predetermined designated destination, that is, a page line digit call destination. In many cases, the moved cursor is returned to the original current position after performing a predetermined operation at the moving destination.

Moving the cursor to a predetermined designated destination, that is, a page line digit calling destination is called a page line digit calling function, and returning the cursor to the original current position is called a bookmark function.

Conventionally, either one of a page line digit calling function and a bookmark function has been performed to move the cursor. However, this has a problem that the document creation efficiency cannot be improved.

In particular, when the moving position increases, it has been demanded to use the page line digit calling function and the bookmark function together in order to improve the efficiency of creating a document.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an easy-to-use document creating apparatus and method in which a page line digit calling function of a cursor and a bookmark function are integrated.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a storage means for storing the current cursor position memory and a designation for designating a specific destination position from the current cursor position. Means, a moving means for moving the cursor to the position designated by the designating means, a returning means for returning the cursor moved by the moving means to the original current position by referring to the position information of the storage means, And a canceling unit for canceling the memory of the current cursor position returned by the returning unit.

Further, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides:
Remember the current cursor position, specify a specific destination position from the current cursor position, move the cursor to this specified position, return this moved cursor to its original current position, A document creating method is characterized in that the memory of the returned current cursor position is deleted.

[0010]

The current cursor position of the document creation device is stored. The position to move the current cursor position is specified. After specifying, move the current cursor position to the specified destination. After the operation at the specified destination, the cursor position is returned from the specified destination to the original current position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the document creating apparatus and method of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main part for carrying out the document creating apparatus and method of the present invention.

The document creating apparatus 10 is provided with a central control unit 11 having a CPU and the like, and an input unit 1 such as a keyboard.
2, the document data, the graphic data and the like are sent to the second storage unit 15 and the display unit 16 via the input control unit 13.

The central control unit 11 includes a first ROM such as a ROM.
The storage unit 14 is provided to store program data in the first storage area 14a and display pattern data in the second storage area 14b.

The central control unit 11 has a second memory such as a RAM.
The storage unit 15 is provided, and the first storage area 15a stores document data and graphic data, and the second storage area 15b stores the current position of the cursor, the position of the cursor designated in advance, and the like.

The central control unit 11 also includes a page line digit calling unit 1
It is connected to 7 and moves the current cursor position to a designated page line digit or returns the cursor to the original current position by a command from the input unit 12.

Further, the central control unit 11 has a display RAM 18
Is connected to a display control unit 19 having
9 is provided with a display unit 16 such as an LED. The display unit 16 reads out and displays the program of the first storage unit 14 or the like by the input data of the input unit 12, the document data stored in the second storage unit 15 by the display pattern, the cursor movement position data, or the like. It has become.

The flowchart of FIG. 2 shows a case in which the current cursor is moved to the designated destination position or the destination cursor is moved to the original current position by the document creating apparatus 10 configured as described above. Will be described with reference to.

First, the document created by the document creating apparatus 10 or the document being created is displayed on the display unit 16. In this document, positions P1, P2, ... (Not shown) for calling page line digits are designated in advance. This page line digit calling position P
Move the cursor to 1, P2 ...
P2 ... Is stored in the cursor storage unit 15b of the second storage unit 15. As a result, the page line digit calling position P of the cursor
1, P2 ... Are designated and set (S1). The input of the designated position of the set cursor is displayed on the display unit 16 (S2).

After performing such an operation, the document creation or the like of the document creation device 10 is performed via the input unit 12. For this document creation, a document is input by operating the input unit 12, and this input document is sent to the central control unit 11 via the input control unit 13. The central control unit 11 reads the program and display pattern of the first storage unit 14 and the document data and graphic data of the second storage unit 15, and these are read via the display control unit 19, the display RAM 18, and the like. 16
To display.

In such a state, the cursor moves together with the input document, and the page line digit calling movement is not performed and the cursor is in a standby state (S3).

In this state, when the numerical data designated by the page line digit calling position P1 is input from the input unit 12, it is determined whether or not the numerical data is changed (S4).

When the numerical data at the designated position is changed (S
4), the numerical value is changed (S5). If the numerical data has not been changed (S4), it is determined whether or not to store the current position of the cursor (S6). If it is determined that the cursor needs to be stored (Y in S6), the current cursor position is stored in the cursor storage unit 15b of the second storage unit 15 by operating the input unit 12 (S7). If it is determined that it is not necessary to store the memory (N in S6), it is determined whether or not to clear the memory of the cursor (S8).

When it is determined that the cursor memory needs to be cleared (Y in S8), the cursor memory is cleared (S9). When it is determined that it is not necessary to clear the memory of the cursor (N in S8), it is determined whether or not the cursor is moved to the page line digit calling position P1 (S10).

When it is determined that the cursor is moved to the page line digit calling position P1 (Y of S10), the movement is executed (S11). By this execution, the cursor can be quickly moved from the current position to the page line digit calling position P1 desired by the user.

By this movement, the user adds, corrects, corrects, copies, etc. the document at the destination.

After performing these operations, an operation of returning the cursor to the original position is performed. This operation is performed almost in the same way as the movement of the page line digit calling position P1.

First, the original destination is input (S3).
If there is no numerical value change (S4), there is no memory of the position of the cursor (S6), and there is no clear operation (S8), it is judged that the movement to the original movement destination is executed (S10). Based on this determination, an execution operation for moving the cursor position to the original current position is performed (S11).

As a result, the cursor can be immediately returned to the original position and operations such as document input can be continued.

When these operations are finished and the memory of the original current position is cleared, the memory of the cursor is cleared by the above-described operation (S9).

When canceling the document input, cancel processing may be performed (S12).

According to the present invention, the storage means for storing the current position of the cursor, the designating means for designating the position of a specific destination from the current position of the cursor, and the cursor at the location designated by the designating means. The moving means for moving, the returning means for returning the cursor moved by the moving means to the original current position, and the canceling means for canceling the memory of the current position of the cursor returned by the returning means are provided. You can quickly return to the specified position or the original current position,
This improves the usability and improves the efficiency of document creation.

Also, the current position of the cursor is stored, and the position of a specific destination is specified from the current position of the cursor,
Since the cursor is moved to the designated position, the moved cursor is returned to the original current position, and the memory of the returned current cursor position is canceled, the document creation efficiency can be improved.
