Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention converts an input kana into kanji, and
The present invention relates to a word processor used for creating and editing sentences.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for updating a text stored in a word processor, a method by insertion in which a newly input text is added and stored without deleting the already stored text,
Two methods are used: a correction method in which previously stored information is sequentially erased and replaced with a new one.

In editing by inserting, after a specific character string is first input, move the cursor to the input position in the character string and enter the kana character there, the previously entered sentence will be converted to the kana character. Each time it is entered, it moves backward one after another,
The input character string is inserted between them. When the conversion key is pressed after the kana characters have been input, the kana characters are changed to kanji, and the decision key is pressed here to complete the editing of the sentence.

Also, with the correction method, as in the case of insertion, if you move the cursor to the input position in the character string and enter the kana character there, the previously entered sentence will be replaced with the entered character one after another. If you press the Enter key when you have finished entering the kana characters, the kana character string is converted to kanji, and if the number of characters decreases, the space between it and the subsequent character string is filled in Editing is complete.

In other conventional word processors, the display of the input kana character string and the display of the sentence are performed at different positions, and when the conversion is confirmed, a new character string is inserted or corrected in the sentence. Some do.

Further, conventionally, some word processors have a function of drawing an underline and a ruled line.

First, as one conventional example, there is one that handles underlines and ruled lines as ancillary information of characters.

Further, as another conventional example, there is one in which an underline or a ruled line is treated as information of a character print position.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, when a new character is to be input at a position underlined or ruled in advance or a position before it in the middle of a character string that has already been determined. However, there were the following problems depending on the respective combinations.

(1) If the conversion is already completed in another area,
Since the actual input position is far from the position where the conversion is performed, there is a problem that it is difficult to understand how long the new character string occupies in the document when the conversion is confirmed.

(2) In other cases, when a character is input by inserting or correcting in the character string, the position of the first character string changes before or after the conversion, and the layout needs to be confirmed again. Was.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is provided with a display means for displaying characters stored in a first character storage means and a second character storage means with reference to a character font. When a character is newly input in the middle of a character string that has already been stored, if there is a character having the accessory information in the additional information input mode or the character string stored in the second character storage means, The character input to the character storage means is displayed while correcting the display by the second character storage means, and the character determined by the correction is stored.

Operation Depending on the above configuration, it is possible to enter the auxiliary information input mode or the second mode.
If there is a character with attached information in the character string stored in the character storage means, the underlined or ruled line is displayed in order to display the input unfixed character string over the already fixed character string. The positional relationship does not change, and the confirmed character is stored by correction, so the character position does not shift.

Practical Example A word processor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a word processor according to the present embodiment. Reference numeral 1 has a large number of keys such as a conversion key (not shown in the figure) and an enter key (not shown in the figure). Character input means for inputting kana characters, 2 is a control means for outputting a code corresponding to the kana characters input from the character input means and for performing control according to a conversion key or an enter key, and 3 is input means 1. Undetermined character code storage means for storing the character code of the input kana character, 4 is a kana-kanji conversion means for converting the kana character stored in the undetermined character code storage means 3 into kanji, and 5 is an undetermined character The character stored in the code storage means 3 is converted by the kana-kanji conversion means 4 by pressing the conversion key, and when the appropriate conversion result is obtained, the character string is written by pressing the confirm key. A determined character code storage means which is, in the fixed character code storage means 5, also stores information underlined and lines with one single letter code.
Reference numeral 6 is a character font pattern storage means for storing information of dots forming a character corresponding to a character code, and 7 is a reference to the character font storage means 6 for referring to the undetermined character code storage means 3 and the confirmed character code storage means. Reference numeral 5 is a display means for displaying the stored characters, and reference numeral 8 is a judgment means for judging whether the mode is for inputting or correcting ruled lines or underlines.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the word processor of the present embodiment. 10 is a keyboard, 11 is a liquid crystal display (hereinafter abbreviated as LCD), 12 is a central processing unit (hereinafter CPU).
Is abbreviated. ), 13 are read-only memories (hereinafter, RO
It is abbreviated as M. ) And 14 are random access memories (hereinafter abbreviated as RAM).

The operation of the word processor of the present embodiment constructed as above will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

Figure 3 shows a state in which the character string "Aiueokakiku only this" is input as already determined character, 15 a display screen of the display unit 6, the storage area of the fixed character code storage means 5 16,
Reference numeral 17 denotes a storage area of the undetermined character code storage means 3. In the word processor of the present embodiment, when ancillary information such as underlines and ruled lines is input, characters are input and updated in the ruled line mode. Here, since the current time is immediately after all the input characters are confirmed, there are no unconfirmed characters. And the underscore "" Is attached.

Suppose that all the characters that have just been input are confirmed, and the user moves the cursor to the position of the character "e" and tries to correct the characters after "e".

First, when the user inputs a new character "wa" from the keyboard 8 (step (a)), this character has not been decided yet (steps (a) and (c)), so the storage area 17 in FIG. As shown in (4), it is stored in the undetermined character code storage means 3 (step (d)). At this time, the storage area 16 of the fixed character code storage means 5 has not changed, but the determination means 8 determines that the current mode is the ruled line mode (step (e)), and the display means 7 displays the character "e". The characters newly stored in the undetermined character code storage means 3 are displayed one after another from the position (step (S)).

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when all the new characters "Iwa" are entered and the conversion key is pressed (step (e)), the kana-kanji conversion means 4 causes the characters "I" to be displayed as shown in FIG. Is converted to "" (step (e)). Then press the confirm key at this point (step (a),
(A), (c)), the control means 2 is, as shown in FIG.
The character "Eo" in the storage area 16 is updated by correcting it to the character "Iwa" stored in the storage area 17 (steps (K) and (K)).

In the present embodiment, since the documents that have been input in advance in the ruled line mode are corrected one after another, when a character string is inserted in the middle of a long document, subsequent documents may be input again. Or it is necessary to cancel the ruled line mode once and then insert it.

Further, in the present embodiment, the display method and the storage method are changed by determining whether the mode is the ruled line mode.
This can also be done by judging that there is ancillary information such as ruled lines and underlines in the document in which a new character is input even in the ruled line mode.

Advantageous Effects of Invention The present invention includes display means for displaying a character stored in a first character storage means and a second character storage means by referring to a character font, and a character already stored in the second character storage means. When a character is newly input in the middle of the string, if there is a character having the attached information in the input mode of the attached information or the character string stored in the second character storage means, the first character storage means The input character is displayed while correcting the display by the second character storage means, and the character determined by the correction is stored, and the character is stored in the auxiliary information input mode or the second character storage means. If there is a character with attached information in the column, the entered character string before confirmation is displayed over the already confirmed character string, so the positional relationship of underlines and ruled lines does not change, and Correct the confirmed characters Since it is stored by, the character position does not shift.
