It has both physical processing and character arrangement functions, reduces the load on the computer, and can handle character arrangement area management for a wide variety of printing objects, reducing development elements in system construction and streamlining the system. The present invention aims to provide a possible kanji display device.

(Summary of the Invention) In order to achieve the above object, the kanji display device of the present invention includes an instruction storage section that stores instructions for arranging characters on a printing object, and a character data storage section that stores character data to be arranged. All or part of the area of the printing object is divided into rectangular areas whose two sides are the maximum horizontal and vertical dimensions for which the character arrangement position and character size on the printing object can be uniquely set. an area management storage unit that stores information for identifying a character arrangement target area, a non-character arrangement target area, or a character arrangement completed area for each division; an array data storage unit that stores character arrangement result data for a printing target; A display section displays this on a monitor, and data in the area management storage section is created from the data in the instruction storage section, and the data is stored in the character data storage section. and an arithmetic control unit that converts the area in which the character data codes are arranged into an area in which the character data codes are arranged to create data in the array data storage unit and display data on the display unit, and performs display control. It is a feature.

(Embodiment of the Invention) Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an electronic computer 1 and a kanji display device 12 of the present invention connected thereto. Two or more similar kanji display devices can be connected to the computer 1, but since the other devices have similar configurations, illustrations are omitted.

In FIG. 1, the kanji display device 2 includes an arithmetic control section 3, an input section 4, an interface section 5, an instruction storage section 6, a character data storage section 7, an area management storage section 8, an array data storage section 9, and a display section 10. The main part is composed of

In the input section 4, an operator performs an operation to input data of a sentence containing kanji or to call up a sentence previously stored in the computer. The interface unit 5 receives and transfers data between the electronic computer 1 and the arithmetic control unit 3. The instruction storage unit 6 stores only the data corresponding to the instruction content for arranging characters on the printing object out of the input data, and the character data storage unit 7 stores the data code of the character data to be arranged out of the input data. In addition, the area management storage unit 8 stores the entire printing target area or A part of the area is divided, and information identifying a character arrangement target area, a non-character arrangement target area, and a character arrangement completed area is stored for each division. The array data storage section 9 stores the character array data of the print object that has finally been edited, and the display section 10 displays the data in the array data storage section 9 on a monitor. The arithmetic control unit 3 is directly connected to these units and controls the input unit 4, sets data in the instruction storage unit 6, creates information in the area management storage unit 8, and creates and displays display data on the display unit 10. Take control.

Next, the operation of the kanji display device of the present invention will be explained.

First, when the input unit 4 inputs a set of character data corresponding to a sentence containing kanji that has been input and stored as data in the computer in advance, '11D No.', 10 No. is inputted through the interface unit 5.

is sent to the electronic If 11 machine 1, and a set of character data codes is returned via the interface section 5 and stored in the character data storage section 7. Further, when information regarding the character arrangement, such as instruction data such as character size, number of information lines, line spacing, and arrangement start position, is input from the input section 4, these are stored in the instruction storage section 6.

The arithmetic control unit 3 determines the arrangement position and character size of a part or all of the two-dimensional area corresponding to the paper surface of the print target stored in the area management storage unit 8 in advance based on the data in the instruction storage unit 6. The area is managed by dividing it into rectangular areas whose two sides are horizontal and vertical disciple dimension units that can be uniquely set, and creating data for each division to distinguish between areas subject to character arrangement and areas not subject to character arrangement. The information is stored in the storage unit 8.

This process is performed, for example, as follows.

If the object to be printed is a printed matter as shown in Figure 2, the line @
Since the horizontal dimension of 11 is half the horizontal dimension of character size 12, the horizontal and vertical sizes of rectangular area 13 are set to 1/2 the character size, as shown in FIG. Then, part or all of the two-dimensional area corresponding to the paper surface of the printing object is divided. Therefore, when data is input that arranges the character data of [Aiueo Kakikukeko] as shown in the second ffi from the first line, the area management storage unit 8 stores N data in advance as shown in Fig. 3. A character array non-target area 14 and a character array target area 15 containing Y data are prepared. Next, the character data storage section 7 is placed in a position corresponding to the character arrangement target area 15 of the area management storage section 8.
character data are arranged and stored in the corresponding area management storage unit 8.
is converted into 0 data representing the character arrayed area data, and the character array result data, such as the character code and array position of - for example, is stored in the array data storage section 9. That is, the arrangement data storage section 9 stores the text whose arrangement has finally been completed. When the array of a series of character string data is completed, the array result in the array data storage section 9 is edited for display on the monitor and displayed on the display section 10, and the array result data in the array data storage section 9 is displayed via the interface section 5. It is sent to electronic computer 2.

In the above embodiment, the data in the instruction storage section 6 is stored in the input section 4.
However, all or part of the data may be sent from the electronic i1 calculator 1 via the interface section 5, or other data may be sent, for example, to a disk device. good.

Furthermore, the information in the area management storage unit 8 includes the character arrangement target area,
Area not subject to character arrangement, character arrangement completed am.

In addition to the three types of conditions, if necessary, four or more types of areas may be set by setting other four additional conditions, such as a □ area where only specific character data can be arranged. . Further, the device connected via the interface section 5 may be a device that receives data from the array data storage section 7 and directly prints it without looking at the computer, or a device such as an external storage device.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the kanji display device of the present invention, the load on a computer can be reduced and character arrangement processing in a wide variety of printing systems can be simplified.
