Abstract

PURPOSE:To edit the document picture images in a simple way, by converting a row of edited character codes into a pattern picture on the basis of the format of a character pattern and then setting the pattern picture into an original picture. CONSTITUTION:Display picture data is properly transferred to a picture/character converting part 7 or a control part 2 by means of an indication controlling signal. The part 7 recognizes a character pattern and converts and delivers the pattern into a character code on the basis of the result of recognition. A sentence correction controlling part 9 feeds a correction signal and a character code and performs the correction and a display of the corrected sentence. When the correction is over, a sentence display part 10 receives a display request signal and the character code and energizes a character reading circuit 11. Then the part 10 reads out the character pattern picture of a prescribed format which is previously registered to a character pattern memory 12 to display it and at the same time receives a character pattern data transfer request signal from the control part 9 to transfer it to the control part 2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a highly practical document collection device suitable for storing documents as images and editing them.

Technical Background of the Invention Recently, document editing systems that input document information as an image, edit it, and file it have been attracting attention. Editing the text in this document information, that is, correcting, inserting,
Deletion lines have conventionally been performed exclusively in the following manner. That is, the document image GL is once output to a printer or the like, the Tagata document is edited, and then the document is input again as an entire document, or the image is partially cut and pasted. Documents are edited by directly inputting image information and sound using a graphics tablet device.

Problems with the Background Art Somehow, with the conventional editing methods mentioned above, the quality of the deleted and collected documents deteriorates9, and alignment during cutting and pasting is complicated, and cutting and pasting makes it difficult to change the font format. There were problems such as different documents being created. Furthermore, when directly writing image information, there are problems such as uneven font formats and difficult writing operations. Despite the existence of such problems, due to its nature as a document, there is a strong need to proofread the text several times and create a new document. There is a strong desire for a high quality document image editing device.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to flexibly perform editing operations such as correction, insertion, and deletion of document information input as a thi image.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly practical document image editing device that can be easily edited.

Summary of the Invention The present invention recognizes character turns in the area to be edited in documents that have been input and stored as images, converts them into character codes, and performs editing processing on nine sentences that have been converted into character codes. Afterwards, change the above character code to i! according to the specified character/arm turn format. The document is edited by turning the image into a turn image and incorporating it into the document image.

Effects of the Invention Therefore, according to the present invention, text can be easily edited by correcting, inserting, or deleting character codes, and then the edited character code string is converted into a turf according to the specified character pattern format. Since it is converted into an image and incorporated into the original image, it is possible to easily create a document image without causing irregularities in character patterns or their sizes, and without causing the hassle of conventional cutting and pasting (cutting and pasting) or alignment. It appears that it is possible to do one series. In addition, with the #i device of the present invention, it is possible to easily input the character code to be edited by manual key operation of the keypad device, and to easily specify the format of the output character pattern.

This image memory 5 is composed of, for example, an optical disk memory. The writing of the document image into the two-way memory 5 and the start-up are performed by the llkigI read/write (R/v) circuit 4 which operates under the control of the control section 1. Further, the input section 1 can directly instruct the document image address tube image R/W circuit 4 on the image memory S.

By the way, the picture! The editing display section 6 receives the display request signal and image data from the control section 3, displays the document image to be edited, and also receives various image-collection signals and displays the literary honor for the image. - configured to perform collection processing. This direct command of the collection is performed, for example, by the operator's operation on the command key l-. Then, according to this instruction control signal, the display image r
-Yu is transferred as appropriate to the image character conversion unit 1 and the control s2 described below.

Further, the image character conversion section 7 recognizes the character base turn given as the image, and converts it into a character code according to the recognition result.

The proofreading input section 8 includes a kanji tablet for proofreading, a command key, a cursor device, etc. 9.
Information such as nine proofreading commands and proofread sentences inputted through the proofreading control section 9 is supplied to the proofreading control section 9. In response to such information, the proofreading control section 9 inputs the proofreading signal and the above-mentioned character code under the control of the control section 2, and performs the proofreading work and displays the proofread text. When the proofreading work is completed, a proofreading completion signal is sent to the control section 2, and at the same time a character gloss turn data transfer request signal is sent to the text display section 1o. The text display unit 10 receives the display request signal and the character code, and accordingly energizes the character readout @) circuit 11.
Character no J? A character pattern image *t- of a predetermined format registered in advance in the turn memory 12 is being read out. Then, this character pattern image is displayed, and at the same time, the character/gram pattern data is transferred from the grammar proofing control unit 9! ! *Receive the signal and control the character base turn data displayed above #s2
The character pattern memory 121d stores character patterns in multiple formats, and the character reading circuit 11 specifies the character pattern and selects it according to the format. This character pattern/image is read out in the text display section 1 after its size etc. are adjusted.
Sent to 0.

The control section 2, which centrally controls each section, analyzes input data and its input control signal tube and generates various transfer request signals, data transfer signals, etc. As a result, each of the aforementioned units transfers data and executes various processes under a predetermined control sequence, and edits the input text image.

The general configuration of this device has been described above, and its main parts are configured as follows, for example.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of the image character conversion section 1, which is composed of a control circuit 7m, a comparison section yb, and a character dictionary 7C. The control circuit 1a receives the conversion request signal and the image position data from the control unit 2, and supplies the corresponding position (image data of the specified area) to the comparison s7b.
In b, the character pattern of the given image data is analyzed, the character is recognized, and the character code registered in the character dictionary 711 is read out. When analyzing and comparing this character pattern, multiple candidate character codes may be selected for 4 turns (one character), but in such cases, the most likely one is selected by calculating the degree of similarity. Select a higher character code as a conversion code. Also, the given image data has blurring, blurring, etc., and lf! In the case of the fi table to ensure sufficient information for recognition, the above recognition is executed after preprocessing for image recognition such as ljigl enlargement processing and interpolation processing is performed. In this way, the character pattern is ia
! The recognized and converted character code is sent from the control circuit 1a to the control @j[.

Further, an image-related display section 6 is constructed, for example, as shown in FIG. The control circuit 6h receives a display request signal, an image editing signal, character/translation data, etc. from the control section 2, and writes the image data to be displayed into the frame memory 1k. This image data is then read out to the display circuit 6c under the control of the control circuit 6a and displayed on the display 6d. Further, the control circuit 6
If a accepts the image collection request, an editing control signal is given to the collection acid section 6. At the same time, the control circuit 6aB inputs position designation information from the image character conversion section 1, and inputs 1iir* of the designated position on the frame memory 6b.
The data is successively sent to the conversion section 7.

In addition, the collecting acid section 6 receives the new image data edited by the grammar proofing control section 9, and replaces it with the image data of the position of the skeleton stored in the frame memory 6b. Performing one-line synthesis. As a result, the edited image on the frame memory 6b is displayed on the display 6d. Then, the edited image confirmed by this display is transferred to the control VIS2, and this 11111
412 and then written into the image memory 5.

Further, FIG. 4 shows an example of the text display section 10, which is constituted by a frame memory readout circuit 10c1, a display circuit 10d, and a display circuit JO@. 1IIJ control circuit 1
01 receives a character code and its display request signal from the grammar proofing control s9 and energizes the character reading circuit 11, thereby writing round character pattern data read from the character reader/memory 12 into the frame memory xobVc. . Reading of this character data from the character 14 turn memory 1z is performed by specifying its address and data amount.

Therefore, the control unit W&ROM is connected to the display circuit Jolt.
When a display request signal is generated, the display circuit 10d reads out the character pattern data written in the frame memory Iobrc in accordance with the display request signal, and displays it on the display 10. The character/pronunciation data displayed and confirmed on the display gray 10 is read out from the frame memory succession circuit 10aK and transferred to the control section 2 in accordance with a transfer request signal applied to the control circuit 1oa. The information is then transferred from the control section 2 to the friend image collection display section 6 described above.

By the way, the character static d7e in the image character conversion section 1
has a memory configuration as shown in FIG. 5, for example.

That is, 4-turn data for a plurality of types of characters classified by their fonts and *gutter/ is stored in advance, corresponding to the character code specified for each character. The above fonts and 4-ter/ are shown as character pattern format data, for example, r1-AJ is Mincho, 2-AJ is Square Gothic, r2-B
J is defined as a square Gothic font, II-CJ is defined as a thin line character, etc. After the format of the edited character is specified in this character dictionary 4 by referring to 7e, the data of the character/9 turf corresponding to 1rJ for the given character code is selectively read from the character pattern memory 12. It has become.

FIG. 6 (1b) shows an example of a keymate board with input @1.8 which is operated by an operator. The keys of the input section 1 shown in FIG.
3. It is composed of Lighty/24 etc. Figure 6 (
The keyboard of the calibration input unit 8 shown in b) is composed of a group of control instruction keys 25, an execution control key 26, a number key 21, a cursor movement key 28, and the like. By selectively operating these keys O by the operator, control data for editing processing and various information are applied to each part of the main body of the apparatus.

Next, a document editing operation performed by the apparatus configured as described above will be explained.

First, operate the "Image display" key on the coin door,
Subsequently, when the registered address of the document image is input using the numeric keys 23, the data is analyzed by the control section JIK and provided to the image R/W circuit 4. As a result, the document image at the specified address is read from the memory 5, and is fixed to the image editing display s6 via the control section 2. As a result, the specified document image is (a
It is displayed as shown in +. The image display operation in the image-related display section 6 is as described above.

When modifying a part of the document image displayed in such a trap, for example, after operating the "code edit" key, the user uses the light pen 24 to indicate the position of the target on the display screen. As a result, the text area to be corrected is specified, and the beginning and end of the text position are marked, for example. The string of 4 turns of characters constituting the sentence identified in this way is led to the image character conversion section 1, where the character pattern is sequentially recognized, converted into a string of character codes, and sent to the control section 2. It will be done. Ganga, in this case, the letter iJ? By inputting a control command indicating that the turn size is one foot or irregular, the character/leaf recognition described above can be performed smoothly.

The character coded information is then given from the grammar proofing control section 9 to the text display section 1o, and is displayed on the display as shown in FIG. 7(e) using the character pattern memory Ilt.

The proofreader Hisakata s8 gives an instruction to edit the displayed text, and correction information for the text is input. In this case, for example, the information "this new Japan" is given to the sentence "Japan was born in this way". Then, in accordance with the character code string indicating the sentence "This New Japan," a coughing character pattern is read out from the character/four-turn memory 12 and displayed on the display gray, for example, as shown in FIG. 7(d). Then, the data of the displayed four turns of characters is transferred to the image-related display section 6 and replaced with the image of the instructed text to be edited.

Similarly, this image replacement often causes a shift in the position of the text on the document-image. In this case, all the character patterns in the document image are converted into character codes, and the position of the sentences is re-edited based on the coded characters, and then ii! ii*. Even in this case, it goes without saying that the character format should be specified accurately. In this case, Fig. 7(b)
A document image edited as shown in K can be obtained.

Then, this document tiii* is registered in the image memory 5, and printed out via the output unit 3, etc.
The collection ends.

Similarly, when editing a document, it is of course possible to perform operations such as image rotation, movement, cutting and pasting as appropriate by operating the command keys. In addition, even if there are differences in font or size during cutting and pasting, it is first converted into character codes (1). It won't be a problem.

As described above, according to the present apparatus, the character pattern of a document image to be edited is converted into a -H character code, and h-set/proofreading processing is performed at the level of this character code. Thereafter, the text consisting of the character code string subjected to the iM processing is uniformly transformed into characters and arm turn pictures in a predetermined designated format, thereby forming a document image. Therefore, even if various art collection processes are performed, or even if text ◆ is edited by cutting and pasting, the final edited document image will have a unified font format and size. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a very good edited document. Furthermore, since characters are handled in coded form as described above, it is easy to carry out import operations, and there is no need for complicated positioning work as in the past. Therefore, the collection work can be facilitated, which has many practical advantages. It has tremendous effects that could not be expected in the past, such as allowing for more flexible editing work.

Similarly, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, the image editing display 1!6 and the text display section 10 may be integrated into one display 31 as shown in FIG. Only the display circuit 32 to be driven may be used, and the water selection circuit 33 may be used to selectively supply display data to it.One display screen may be divided and one of them may be used to display edited text. It is also possible to use the other area as an area for displaying proofread text.

Furthermore, the editing processing sequence is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and editing may be performed by performing kana/kanji conversion as appropriate. The gist is to convert into a character code, edit this string of character codes, and then convert it into a document image in a predetermined format.9 It can be implemented with various modifications without departing from this. be able to.
