In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a broadcasting device for performing text multiplex broadcasting by FM broadcasting.
Receiving apparatus 2 for receiving and displaying character information, and receiving apparatus 2
A transmitting device 3 for transmitting information wirelessly, and an input device 5 for inputting information to the transmitting device 3 via a telephone line 4 or the like.

The receiving device 2 receives an FM data receiver (reception means) 6 for receiving a plurality of lines of information data transmitted from the transmitting device 3 and an electronic signature (display) as a display means for displaying the information. 7 and a display controller (display control means) 8 for controlling the display of the received information, and the electronic signature 7 has one line of display portion 7a.
The information is displayed in the running mode. The FM data receiver 6 and the display controller 8 may be connected by a cable of RS-232C or RS-485 format or the like.

To the transmitter 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, data 9 in a format in which one screen (one page) is composed of 15 characters per line × 3 lines is input from the input device 5 in page order. The above data is composed of a header sentence 10 indicating the title of the information on the first line and a body 11 indicating the contents of the information on the second to third lines.

The display controller 8 converts the received character information composed of a plurality of lines into one line of information based on the following conversion rules i to iV, and outputs it to the electronic signature 7. Delete the consecutive space characters from the end of line i to the beginning of the line,
ii Insert three space characters between the header sentence and the body. iii The number of characters in the first line of the body is 15 characters (double-byte equivalent) without including space characters, and the beginning of the second line is not a space character. No space character is inserted between the first and second lines if it is a character of, and one space character is inserted in the case other than the above, and it is a sequence sandwiched by characters other than iV space character. Convert the plurality of space characters into a single space character.

Needless to say, the number of lines, the number of characters, and the number of space characters referred to in the above conversion rule are one example.

Next, the operation of the apparatus 1 of this embodiment will be described. The information transmitted from the transmitter 3 is the FM.
When received by the data receiver 6, the display controller 8 converts the data 9 according to a predetermined conversion rule.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, based on the conversion rule i, the end of the first line to the beginning of the second line and the end of the second line to the third line of the above information. The consecutive space characters that are placed across the beginning of are deleted.

Further, based on the conversion rule iii, the text 1
Since the number of characters in the line is not 15 except the space character, a space character is inserted between "0%" and "clear" at the end of the second line to the beginning of the third line.

Furthermore, based on the above conversion rule iV, 2
Between "Osaka" and "precipitation probability" in the line, and "precipitation probability",
A plurality of consecutive space characters between "0%" are converted into one space character.

Based on the conversion rules i to iV, the three lines of information 9 are converted into one line of information and transmitted to the electronic signature 7, and are sequentially displayed as shown in FIG.

In this way, the space character extending from the end of the line to the beginning of the line is deleted, and the space character is inserted between the header and the body so that the first and second lines in the body become one continuous sentence. If there is a space character between the end of the first and second lines and the beginning of the line, insert a space character between the end of the line and the beginning of the line if it is not a continuous sentence. In addition, since multiple space characters sandwiched between normal characters are converted to one space character, when displaying information consisting of multiple lines in one line, the spacing between character strings is appropriate. The information content can be easily read.

In the above embodiment, the one-line scroll display of information for one page has been described, but the present invention can be applied to the one-line scroll display of information for a plurality of pages.
