In this figure, reference numeral 1 is a CRT display screen, which is called A or B.
An example is shown in which characters are displayed from the left end of the top line. Reference numerals 21 and 22 denote memories, which are storage units that store information about the characters A and B displayed on the display screen. Of these, 21 is a character information storage unit that stores information regarding the type of characters to be displayed, and 22 is the display color of the characters to be displayed and the background color (background color) of the characters.

The details of the display unit that displays a predetermined character at a corresponding position depending on the type of character and the content of the color information storage unit will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the overall construction of the document creating apparatus. In this figure, 1 is a CRT, 2 is a random access storage device (hereinafter abbreviated as RAM), 3 is a microprocessor as an arithmetic processing unit, and 4
Is a keyboard constituting an input unit, and 5 is a read-only storage device (hereinafter abbreviated as ROM). Reference numeral 6 denotes a clock oscillation circuit that generates a clock signal serving as a reference for operation, 7 denotes a timing control circuit, 8 denotes a character / font ROM, 9 denotes a CRT control circuit, 10 denotes a refresh memory, and 11 denotes a parallel-serial conversion circuit. is there.

These operations are as follows. That is, when data is input from the keyboard 4, the program stored in the ROM 5 causes the microprocessor 3 to operate based on the instructions of the program, and the character font corresponding to the character data input from the character font ROM 8 is refreshed in the refresh memory 10. Transferred to.

Next, when another key is input from the keyboard 4 again, the character font corresponding to this input data is transferred to the next position of the refresh memory 10 in the same manner. In this way, the microprocessor 3 transfers and stores the character font in the refresh memory 10 in response to the input. Above, the microprocessor 3 operates and is executed by the program stored in the ROM 5. At this time, the clock transmission circuit 6 inputs a basic pulse so that the microprocessor 3 operates regularly.

On the other hand, the basic clock pulse from the clock transmission circuit 6 is also input to the CRT control circuit 9. CR
Upon receiving this basic pulse, the T control circuit 9 reads data from the refresh memory 10 using a time period during which the microprocessor 3 is not accessing the refresh memory 10. The read data is converted into a short pulse train through the parallel / serial conversion circuit 11. This pulse train is input to the CRT 1 as a video signal v. Further, the synchronizing signal s output from the CRT control circuit 9 is also input to the CRT 1 together with it. With these signals, the CRT 1 brightly lights the dot at the corresponding position of the CRT 1 when the video signal v is at a high level voltage. This scans from the upper left of the screen of CRT1 to the right based on the synchronization signal s, and then scans the rows below it from left to right, and displays all dots on the screen of CRT1. Therefore, the CRT control circuit 9 transfers the data in the refresh memory 10 to the CRT1.
From the upper left to the right of the screen, the data of the next stage is sequentially taken out and sent to the parallel / serial conversion circuit 11. Therefore, the CRT control circuit 9 generates the memory address for the refresh memory 11 so that the data can be taken out in the order described above for the refresh memory 11.

Next, an explanation for performing color display will be given with reference to FIG. In this figure, 101, 10
Reference numerals 2 and 103 are refresh memories for red (R), green (G), and blue (B), respectively. Also, 111, 112, 1
Reference numeral 13 is a parallel / serial conversion circuit for red (R), green (G), and blue (B) corresponding to the refresh memories 101, 102, and 103, respectively. Next, the operation will be described.

The read command of the refresh memory from the CRT control circuit 9, such as the read pulse, the row address, and the column address, is actually as shown in FIG.
Refresh memories 101 for R, G, and B,
102 and 103 simultaneously. The data from these three planes are read at the same time and the corresponding R, G,
Respective parallel / serial conversion circuits 111 and 11 for B
Join separately to 2,113. Then, it is converted into a bit-serial pulse train signal, converted into a red (R) video signal v _R , a green (G) video signal v _G , and a blue (B) video signal v _B , and input to the CRT 1. . The CRT 1 blinks each dot of red, green and blue by these signals. As a result, color display is achieved.

In the above description, the refresh memory 101,
By writing character data to be displayed separately in 102 and 103, it can be understood that the character corresponding to this character data is displayed on the screen of the CRT 1.

Next, a description will be given of the color editing of the document which is the subject of the present invention. First, the contents of various information storage units will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. As shown in FIG. 4 and as described above, the characters on the screen of the CRT 1 (first
A character information storage unit 21 that stores the type of each character and the like, and a color information storage unit 22 that stores the color information of that character are provided. Each of the storage units 21 and 22 is stored in a continuous storage area corresponding to the display position for each character of the CRT 1. Further, the color information is stored by occupying a 1-byte storage area for each character, like the character code. For color information memory,
As shown in the lower part of the figure, the display character color (hereinafter referred to as the front color) and the background color (hereinafter referred to as the back color) are stored together. R _F , G _F , and B _F corresponding to 5, 6, and 7 bits in one byte correspond to the front colors red, green, and blue. Also, R _B corresponding to 1, 2, and 3 bits,
G _{B, B B} corresponds background color of red, green, and blue.

Further, FIGS. 5 (a), (b), (c),
The character code specified as shown in (d) and (e) is used as an input, and the character font is set to the character font ROM.
An area P for reading the data of No. 8 and temporarily storing the data and an area (bar) p for storing the inversion information of this pattern are provided. Furthermore, the refresh memory 1
When the character font is transferred to 0, areas R, G, and B for temporarily storing the transferred data are provided. Each is for red (R), green (G), and blue (B). Each of the above storage units is set to a predetermined address in the RAM 2.

Next, the operation will be described. In the embodiment, the character code storage unit 21 and the color information storage unit 22 are previously prepared.
It is assumed that the character code and color information displayed on the screen of the CRT 1 are stored in. Also, CRT1
The characters displayed on the screen are
Being set to a single color, that is, the color information storage unit 22
Assumes that the same value is set for all areas. The storage of the input data in the character data storage unit 21 and the color information storage unit 22 is not special and is achieved by a well-known technique, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. An example of a flowchart of a technique for storing data in the character data storage unit 21 of data is briefly shown.

A program corresponding to this flowchart is stored in the ROM 5 in advance. The outline of this figure is as follows. The character code storage unit 21 is set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 2. Therefore, first in step 61, the character code storage unit 2
A pointer is set at the first address of 1. Next, at step 62, the input from the keyboard 4 is awaited, and when a key is pressed, the character code corresponding to the pressed key is read. In the following step 63, it is determined whether the character code read in step 62 is a code indicating the end of data input. As a result of the determination, if the read character code is not the character code of the end of data input, it is determined that the character code is a normal input character code. To be stored. And
In step 65, the address of the character code storage unit 21 is stepped, that is, the value of the pointer is incremented by 1,
Returning to step 62, the process waits for a character code input from the keyboard 4 again. By repeating these, the character code is sequentially stored in the character data storage unit 21. Then, when the character code indicating the end of data input is input from the keyboard 4, these processes are ended in step 63.

Next, the colored editing process, which is a main part of the present invention, will be described. FIG. 7 shows the main routine of the processing in the embodiment. Similar to the above, the program for realizing the processing is stored in the ROM 4 and executed by the microprocessor 3. According to this embodiment, the processing function means is roughly divided into four. The first functional means is edit range setting means CRAS for the colored edit range. This is to set an arbitrary range of the document displayed on the CRT 1 as a colored edit range. The second function means is the color setting means ECRS in the editing range. This is for setting the color of each character or the background color of the document in the range set by the setting means CRAS of the document displayed on the CRT 1.
The third functional means is the color information operating means CTLE in the color information storage unit 22. This is to rewrite the stored contents of the color information storage unit 22 with the color data set in the setting unit ECRS within the range set by the setting unit CRAS. The fourth functional means is the character font transfer means RMMV. This is to rewrite the character font data in the refresh memory 10 corresponding to the range set by the setting means CRAS. When the character information storage unit 21 and the color information storage unit 22 are updated by the combination of the above means CRAS, ECRS, CTLE, and RMMV, the display control unit DC transfers the contents of the refresh memory 11 to the CRT 1 thereafter. And displays the edited document on the screen in a desired state.

Hereinafter, the above-mentioned functional means CRAS, EC
RS, CTLE, and RMMV will be described in detail. FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the color edit range setting means CRAS. The setting of the colored editing range is achieved by storing the colored editing starting position and the ending position. In the case of the embodiment, the start position and the end position are designated by the cursor position on the display screen displaying the document. That is, the cursor displayed on the display screen is moved to a desired position by the cursor movement keys provided on the keyboard 4, and the return key indicates that the cursor is at the desired position. ,
The end position is designated and each position is stored. In this case, the start and end positions are CRT1
Set the beginning position of the screen of "0" to "1", "2",
..., "n", and is stored as one-dimensional relative coordinates.

Hereinafter, FIG. 8 will be described step by step. First, in step 801, the cursor position is initialized. As described above, this is a process of setting the value at the screen head position of the CRT 1 of the cursor to "0". In the following step 802, the keyboard 4
Wait for the input from and read the key code corresponding to it. Then, it is determined whether or not the key code read in step 803 is a key code corresponding to the horizontal advance key HF of the cursor, and if so, a process of advancing the cursor position by 1 is executed in step 804. If not, the process proceeds to step 805 to determine whether the read key code is the key code corresponding to the horizontal backward key HB of the cursor, and if so, the cursor position is determined in step 806. The process of moving back by 1 is executed. If not, execution is directly moved to the process of step 807. Step 807 is based on the processing of steps 804 and 806.
This is a process of displaying the cursor at the updated position. In a succeeding step 808, it is determined whether or not the key code read in the step 802 is a return key. If not, the process returns to step 802 and the keyboard 4
Wait for key input from. Through the above steps, the cursor is placed at a desired character position of a large number of characters that form the document displayed on the display screen of the CRT 1. And
When the return key is pressed, step 808 determines this, and step 809 stores the current cursor position as the color editing start position. For storing this, a predetermined address of the RAM 2 is used. Subsequent Steps 810, 811, 812, 81
3, 814, 815, 816, and 817 are processes for deciding and storing the color editing end position, each of which is performed in step
02, 803, 804, 805, 806, 807, 80
Since it is equivalent to 8, 809, it is omitted. However, the difference is that in step 817, the start position is stored in step 809, whereas the end position is stored.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the color editing color setting means ECRS. Here, an example is shown in which the display character color (front color) and the background color (back color) are set. In the figure, as the front color setting, the "F" key is pressed, and then the display color designation key (for example, "R" key, "G" key, "B" key) is operated, and then the back color setting is performed. After the "B" key,
Back color designation key (eg "R" key, "G")
An example is shown for the case of pressing the key "B" key). The front color data and the back color data are stored in predetermined storage areas of the RAM 2.

Below, FIG. 9 will be explained step by step.
Step 901 is waiting for an input from the keyboard 4, like step 801. In step 902, it is determined whether the key code read in step 901 is the "F" key for instructing the setting of the front color.
If this is not the case, the process returns to step 901 again. If it is determined that the key is the "F" key, the process proceeds to step 903, and the process waits for key input of color information setting data. Then, when the color information is input, it is read, and in step 904, this color information is also stored as the set display character color data at a predetermined address in the RAM 2, and the process proceeds to the next processing step. After step 905, the back color is designated. Step 905 is the above step 901.
Similarly to, it is waiting for input from the keyboard 4. Step 9
At 06, it is determined whether the key code read at step 905 is the "B" key for instructing the setting of the back color. If this is not the case, the process returns to step 905 again. If it is determined to be the "B" key, step 90
The process moves to 7 and waits for key input of color information setting data. Then, when the color information is input, it is read,
In step 908, this color information is also stored as preset background color data in the RAM 2 at a predetermined address.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the color information operating means CTLE in the color information storage unit 22. This is the display color set by the color editing color setting unit ECRS for the colored editing range set by the color editing range setting unit CRAS, and the bit corresponding to each color in the color information storage unit 22 is set to "1". It is a process of setting to ". As is clear from FIG. 4, R _F , G _F , and B _F represent the front color red, green, and blue bits of the color information storage unit 22, and R _B , G _B , and B, respectively.
_B indicates each bit of the back color red, green, and blue of the color information storage unit 22.

Below, FIG. 10 will be explained step by step. First, in steps 1001 and 1002, step 8 of the color editing range setting means CRAS shown in FIG.
From the color editing start position and the color editing end position stored by 09 and 817, the corresponding address of the color information storage unit 22,
That is, the color edit start address and the color edit end address are calculated, and the value of the address is stored in the predetermined address of the RAM 2. Next, in step 1003, the color information storage unit 2
A pointer designating each address of No. 2 is set to the color editing start address calculated in step 1001, and it is designated that the subsequent processing is the update of the address. Then, in step 1004, the color information stored in the predetermined address of the RAM 2 in step 904 of the coloring and editing color setting means ECRS shown in FIG. Step 100 for green and blue
5, 1006, or 1007,
R of the address of the color information storage unit 22 indicated by the current pointer
"1" is written to the _F , G _F and B _F bits. Then, in step 1008, the color information stored in the predetermined address of the RAM 2 in step 908 of the coloring / editing color setting means ECRS shown in FIG. 9 is read out, it is judged what color is set, red, Step 1 according to green and blue
By any one of steps 009, 1010, and 1011, “1” is written in the bits R _B , G _B , and B _B of the address of the color information storage unit 22 indicated by the current pointer. next,
In step 1012, the content of the pointer is updated by one, and the process of rewriting the content of the next address is started. At this time, in step 1013, it is determined whether or not the content of the pointer exceeds the editing end address calculated in step 1002, that is, whether or not the editing command range is exceeded. If not, step 1004
Move on to processing.

FIG. 11 shows a character font transfer means RMMV.

With the color edit start position data of the color edit range set by the color edit range setting means CRAS as input data, the corresponding addresses of the character data storage unit 21 and the color information storage unit 22 are calculated. Then, this address is set in the pointer. Similarly, in step 1102, the address of the refresh memory 10 is also calculated, and this address is set as the pointer. Next, a character font information creating means GCP described later.
Reads and creates character font information. Then, by the character pattern creating means CPG described later,
Character patterns for each color of green and blue are created, and in the next step 1103, the created character patterns R, G,
Transfer B to each corresponding refresh memory. The above processing is performed up to the end position of the colored editing in steps 1104, 1105 and 1106. That is, in step 1104, the addresses that are the contents of the pointers calculated and set in step 1101 are sequentially updated one by one, and similarly, in step 1105, the addresses are calculated in step 1102 and the set pointer addresses are divided by one character. Update.
Then, in step 1106, the color edit end position data of the color edit range set by the color edit range setting means CRAS is used as input data, and it is determined whether or not the color edit end position is exceeded. If there is, the processing is moved to the character font information creating means GCP, and if it exceeds, the series of processing is ended.
