Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a handy word processor which displays much information even on a small display screen and is good in visibility and operability. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 104 decides whether a character string inputted from a keyboard 111 is a command or text data; and the decided text data are converted from character codes to character modification codes, which are temporarily stored in a temporary file 105 and then transferred to a document file 106, so that they are added at the tail. The contents of this document file 106 are written in a VRAM 103 by referring to character font data in a font ROM 107. A display controller 102 displays the data in the VRAM 103. When attribute data on double em, a underline, etc., are attached to the document data in the document file 106 and a display of the attribute data is instructed, the attribute data are displayed substituting part of the document data without decreasing the display area of the document data on a display body 101.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handy word processor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The structure of a conventional word processor is shown in FIG. The processing flow will be described with reference to FIG.
The character string input from the keyboard 711 is the CPU 70
The command 4 determines whether it is a command (a command issued to a word processor such as printing, editing, or calling data from an external storage device) or text data (data of a document to be created). If the text data is converted into a code, the temporary file 705 Stored temporarily. The contents of the temporary file 705 are written in the VRAM 703 with reference to the character font data in the font ROM 707 so that the temporary font 705 can be displayed on the display 701 as close as possible to the image when it is printed on the printer 710 by the CPU 704. The display controller 702 displays the data in the VRAM 703. The operator of the word processor looks at the contents displayed on the display body 701 to make corrections and edits.

When modifying a document file that has already been created and creating a new document, the CPU 704 calls the data from the document file 706 to a position designated by the operator with a cursor or the like and displays the display data so as to display in a form close to the print image. Is expanded and written in the VRAM 703 and displayed.

At the time of printing, the CPU 704 calls data from the document file 706, develops it into a print image, and stores it in the printer buffer RAM 709. Printer 71
0 prints according to the data in the printer buffer RAM 709.

The internal data of the document file 706 and how it is displayed will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 9 shows an example of a document to be created, and 901 is a quadruple-width character which is doubled in length and width. 9 more
Reference numeral 02 denotes a document having a character spacing of 0 dots and line spacing of 10 dots, and 903 denotes a document having a character spacing of 5 dots and a line spacing of 36 dots.

The image displayed on the display body 701 during the preparation of such a document is almost the same as the image printed conventionally as shown in FIG. However, in the conventional handy word processor, the screen of the display body 701 is smaller than the print image, and therefore the user has to scroll and confirm many times, and cannot obtain much information at one time. There is no handy word processor that can change line spacing and character spacing in the middle of a sentence.

Further, since a dedicated guidance line for displaying the number of digits and the number of lines is required, the result is that the document display area is further narrowed.

[0009]

In the case of the handy word processor described above, the size and function of the keyboard, printer, and liquid crystal must be greatly restricted in order to realize portability and cost reduction. Above all, the liquid crystal display is greatly restricted, and the number of characters displayed is small, and it is extremely inconvenient to use compared to the desktop.

In the case of a conventional handy word processor,
It is impossible to display the liquid crystal display body so as to satisfy many functions, and the user has to confirm by scrolling vertically and horizontally.

Further, there are some functions which cannot be displayed by the conventional handy word processor and cannot be supported and must be deleted. For example, it is impossible to display a change in a sentence such as setting of line spacing and character spacing, which is a function that had to be deleted.

Further, since the current line and the number of digits are displayed and one line is provided as a guide line for displaying characters by punctuation and reading input, the screen size of a small display body is further reduced. , It was not easy to use and it was impossible to give much information to the user.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a handy word processor which gives a large amount of information even on a small display screen, has good visibility, and has good operability.

[0014]

According to the present invention, in a handy word processor for creating document information based on data input from input means, display means for displaying the document information, and document information displayed on the display means. Specifying means for specifying a part of the document, and attribute data displaying means for displaying attribute data indicating an attribute of a part of the document information specified by the specifying means according to the specification of the specifying means in the newly secured area. It is characterized by comprising means for changing the attribute data displayed by the attribute data display means and means for releasing the newly secured area.

[0015]

[Effect] Therefore, even if multiple character modifications are performed at the same time, you can check it in the window and display, modify,
And the confirmation can be confirmed with the normal font size. In addition, a window can be opened anywhere to set character attributes and character attribute parameters, and a dedicated area such as a guide line is not required.

Reference numeral 111 is a keyboard. Keyboard 1
The character string input from 11 is discriminated by the CPU 104 as a command or text data, and if it is text data, it is converted into a character code or a character modification code and temporarily stored in the temporary file 105. The contents of the temporary file 104 are displayed in order to display the contents of the temporary file 105 so that the user can modify or select the kanji in the case of Japanese.
6 is added and added to the end. The contents of the document file 106 are displayed as close as possible to the image when the CPU 104 prints on the printer 110.
The character font data in the font ROM 107 is referred to in order to be displayed on the screen No. 1, and the data is written in the VRAM 103. The display controller 102 displays the data in the VRAM 103.

However, special text data (line spacing,
In case of character spacing setting, skip, punctuation / reading input, etc., a window is opened based on the cursor position as shown in FIG. If it already contains numbers and letters, those numbers and letters are displayed. Here you can change or select the numbers and characters (punctuation, reading), close the window, and save the data to the document file 1
Transfer to 06. To make changes, open the window again, make changes, and then close the window.

When modifying a document file that has already been created and creating a new document, the CPU 104 calls the data at the position designated by the operator from the document file 106 with a cursor or the like and displays the data in a form similar to the print image. The data is expanded, written in the VRAM 103, and displayed. When confirming and canceling character modification (shading, centering, script, double-width, etc.), bring the cursor to the beginning of the character modified as shown in Fig. 4 (a). Here, "Control symbol" key Press to go 4th
A window is opened and the modified state is displayed as shown in FIG. At this time, if there is a character decoration to be released, carry the arrow and press the line feed key to release the character decoration, as shown in FIG. 4 (c).

At the time of printing, the CPU 104 calls data from the document file 106, develops it into an image similar to printing, and prints according to the data in the printer buffer RAM 109.

The display state of the handy word processor of the present invention is shown in FIG.

□ 501 indicating that character modification (double-width, centering) is performed □ End of character modification 502 ・ Indication that character modification (centering) is performed □ 503 □ End of character modification 504 □ 505 indicating that character modification (character spacing: 5 dots, line spacing: 36 dots, indentation) has been performed. Also, the number of lines and the number of digits at the cursor position can be displayed in a window. By pressing the function shift + shift simultaneously, a window is opened and the number of lines and the number of columns at the cursor position can be displayed as shown in FIG. Therefore, a dedicated guide line for displaying the number of lines and the number of digits is not required. Similarly, punctuation and reading input are also displayed in the window, so a dedicated display area is not required.

[0023]

By adopting the configuration described above, it is possible to easily change the character spacing and line spacing in the middle of a sentence, which is impossible with the conventional handy word processor.

Further, when displaying small characters such as ruby, superscript, and subscript, the conventional handy word processor cannot provide sufficient display due to insufficient resolution, but this is corrected when the method of the present invention is used. , Confirmation can be done in normal font size by opening a window.

Further, even when a plurality of character modifications are made, the display space can be effectively used by opening the window, and more information can be given to the user by using the limited display body. It is possible to realize a handy word processor that is easy to use.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to develop a handy word processor having good visibility and operability even if a display body having a small display screen is used.
