Abstract

PURPOSE:To display or print an original document by generating an individual font previously or sequentially. CONSTITUTION:An individual font generating process part 20 extracts feature elements from handwritten character information inputted from a handwritten character input device 12. Then variation quantities between the feature elements and feature elements of a standard handwritten character font in a storage part 24 are calculated and the variation quantities are reflected on the feature elements of the standard handwritten character font to generate the individual font, which is stored in the storage part 24. When a user operates a keyboard 11 to create a document under the control of an editing process part 21, a display process part 22 reads the individual font of characters corresponding to input keys out of the storage part 24 and displays it on a display device 14.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a word processor suitable for use, for example, in the case of producing a large number of letters expressing the personality of a user.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 5, in a conventional word processor, when a key is input from a keyboard 1,
A code corresponding to the key is generated and sent to the system body 2. The system main body 2 sends a display signal of a character font corresponding to this code to the display device 3. Display device 3
Displays characters according to the signal sent. When a predetermined key of the keyboard 1 is operated to instruct the system main body 2 to print, the system main body 2 sends a print signal to the printer 4. The printing device 4 prints characters in accordance with the transmitted signal.

As described above, by using a font prepared in advance in the word processor, anyone can easily create beautiful and uniform characters and print them out.

Thus, for example, once a sentence is created, a large number of documents having the same sentence can be printed out.

[0005]

As described above, in the conventional word processor, the characters can be displayed or printed only by the font prepared in advance.
Therefore, there is a problem that the document has no individuality.

Therefore, a method of increasing the number of fonts prepared in advance and selecting a predetermined font from the fonts so that a unique document can be created can be considered. However, this method has a problem that the type of fonts to be prepared is limited because the memory capacity becomes large.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and the individual font of each user is previously set.
Alternatively, it is possible to display or print a unique document by sequentially creating it.

[0008]

A word processor device according to claim 1 of the present invention is a handwritten character input device 12 as a handwritten character input device for inputting handwritten characters, and an individual handwriting character for each user. An individual font creation processing unit 20 as an individual font creation unit for creating a font, and a display device 14 as a display unit for displaying an individual font are provided.

[0009]

In the word processor device according to the first aspect, from the handwriting of, for example, several kinds of characters input by the user,
A user-specific individual font is created, and the document created by the user is displayed using the individual font.

Therefore, a document expressing the individuality of the user can be created by using the individual font, and a large amount of it can be printed out.

[0011]

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a word processor device of the present invention.

The handwritten character input device 12 is composed of, for example, a tablet, converts handwriting of handwritten characters drawn by the user into a signal, and sends it to the system main body 13. The keyboard 11 generates a signal corresponding to the key pressed by the user and sends it to the system main body 13.

The display device 14 is composed of, for example, an LCD, a CRT, etc., and displays texts and handwritten characters input by the keyboard 11 and the handwritten character input device 12 in response to signals output from the system main body 13. indicate. The printing device 15 prints characters and the like corresponding to the signal output from the system body 13 and prints out a document created by the user.

As shown in FIG. 2, the system main body 13 including, for example, a microcomputer, an individual font creation processing section 20 for creating an individual font, an edit processing section 21 for editing an input text, and a created text. A display processing unit 22 that manages the display of the display on the display device 14, a print processing unit 23 that manages the printing of the created text on the printing device 15, and a text file, a standard handwritten character font, and an individual font are stored. The storage unit 24 is configured.

The handwritten character information input from the handwritten character input device 12 and the key code corresponding to the key input from the keyboard 11 are sent to the individual font creation processing section 20 and the editing processing section 21, respectively.

The individual font created by the individual font creation processing section 20 is stored in the storage section 24. Therefore, the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be collectively shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of creating an individual font will be described with reference to FIG. First of all, step S
1, the handwritten character is input from the handwritten character input device 12. Next, in step 2, whether or not handwritten characters have been input by the handwritten character input device 12 for each of the number of times (N times) instructed for each of several preset characters instructed by the individual font creation processing unit 20. Is determined. If it is determined that the input has not been performed the specified number of times, step 1 is performed again.
Return to. That is, the user manually inputs a predetermined number of characters a predetermined number of times to create an individual font. In step S2, when it is determined that the predetermined character has been input from the handwritten character input device 12 the number of times as instructed, the process proceeds to step 3, and each characteristic element representing the form of the input character is extracted, And proceed to step 4.

In step 4, the numerical values of the respective characteristic elements representing the standard handwritten character form prepared in advance and the respective characteristic elements representing the user handwritten character form obtained in step 3 are calculated. The difference (change amount) from the digitized value is calculated, and the process proceeds to step 5.

In step 5, the amount of change obtained in step 4 is reflected in each characteristic amount representing the form of a standard handwritten character prepared in advance, and the individual font (not only the designated and input character, Create a font (for all other characters). Step 5 can be realized by using an inheritance function based on a frame system description which is often used in artificial intelligence.

Next, in step 6, the individual font created in step 5 is registered in the storage unit 24.

As described above, not only the predetermined number of handwritten input characters but also other characters that have not been handwritten input are processed by the normal word processor after the process of creating and storing the font of the handwritten character in advance is completed. The same operation is performed as in the case.

That is, depending on the user, the keyboard 11
Is operated, and a text is created by the edit processing unit 21 (FIG. 3) of the system main body 13. The individual font corresponding to each character of the created sentence is read from the storage unit 24 (FIG. 3) by the display processing unit 22 (FIG. 3), and the display device 1
4 (FIG. 3). The display device 14 performs a display process according to the transmitted signal. As a result, handwritten characters corresponding to the characters input by the keyboard 11 are displayed on the display device 14.

Next, when a predetermined key of the keyboard 11 is operated to instruct the system main body 13 to print, an individual font corresponding to each character of the created sentence is displayed by the print processing unit 23 (FIG. 3). Read from the storage unit 24,
It is sent to the printer 15 (FIG. 3). The printer 15 is
Printing processing is performed according to the signal sent.

Although the individual fonts are created in advance in the above-described embodiments, the individual fonts are not created in advance as described above, but the characters specified by the user during the text creation are Individual fonts can be created each time.

When the individual font is created in advance, once it is created, the user only has to input the text thereafter. On the other hand, when the individual font is created each time, the user needs to create the individual font each time when encountering a character whose font is to be changed, when inputting a sentence, which is troublesome. Therefore, it is possible to input the text more quickly if the individual font is created in advance.

The present invention can be applied not only to a dedicated word processor, but also to a personal computer to which application software is applied and used as a word processor.

[0027]

According to the word processor device of the first aspect, by inputting the handwritten character, the individual font for each user is created from the handwriting of the handwritten character. Is displayed, or
Can be printed.

According to the word processor device of the second aspect, the individual fonts are created in advance or sequentially, so that they can be used properly according to the purpose.
