Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically extend a block, by extending the block by one line portion when character information up to the right end of the final line is inputted, and converting the ruled line information indicating the end of a table contained in said line, to block prescribed information of nondisplay. CONSTITUTION:When a character input is advanced and a cursor reaches a display part of a lower left corner of a table, it is decided that it is the right end of the final line of a block, and a line which copies a block end prescribed mark of the line concerned is inserted between its line and the next line. However, this inserted line contains a code of the table and it indicates the end of the table, therefore, subsequently, the code of the lower left of the table and the lower right of the table is replaced with a code of a indent mark 61, and the cursor is shifted to the left end of this replaced line and is set to a key input waiting state. Thereafter, the block editing area is expanded by the indent mark 61.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Regarding the water valve 1iVi word processor, more specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a word processor with improved block editing functions.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on drawings showing embodiments thereof.

Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the Japanese word processor according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the keyboard.

Fig. 1 shows a $'itel ij keyboard, a control unit including a 2ti CPU, a 3Fi control block storage unit, and a storage unit for Kugata text. Various memos for the dictionary club, etc.! J, 1jcRT, 5
is a printer. Sentences input from the keyboard 1 are stored in a text memory constituting a memory 3 by the action K of the control section 2, and are displayed on the KCRT 4 as well. This text is printed by the printer 5K by giving a print command, and is also stored in a floppy disk provided as an external memory in the memory 3, so that it can be used for subsequent printing.

This word processor has the following block editing functions. To explain this function, let's start with the third
As shown in the figure, if you want to keep the photo pasting space Km on the right side, write a diamond-shaped indent mark 61 on the left side of that space in advance by touching [=7=Cokey 11]. Edit the I[ that is sandwiched between the mark 61 and the left margin mark 62 as one block (when inputting, when the cursor comes to the indent mark, a line break is made. When deleting or adding, KVi is done within this block, etc.) ing. Note that the indent mark is not involved in printing.

In addition, in order to avoid the trouble of writing a large number of indent marks 61, by writing an indent)-r-ri 61 on the upper line, indent marks are automatically placed one after another on the lower line each time there is a line break. It is written so that it is written directly below it.

In addition, the product of the present invention has a tabulation function, but as shown in Figure @4, the ruled line 63 is viewed in the same way as the indent mark, and the block &14f! It is possible to perform block editing in the area sandwiched between the margin mark 62 and the ruled line in the outside area. If the table is in an unfinished state as shown in Figure 5, that is, if the horizontal line at the bottom of the table is not drawn, KI/i
When the text input reaches the lower end of the table line 64 and the right end of the current row, the vertical bar is automatically extended downward, and the block editing area of this table is expanded. This enlargement function also applies to the area sandwiched between the margin mark 62 and the vertical line 64. Such an enlarging function is exactly the same as the enlarging function of the block editing fIi area by automatically writing an indent mark to the next line.

Therefore, when expanding the block editing @ area in a table as described above, even if the table is closed in advance by drawing a horizontal line at the bottom of the table as shown in Figure 4, when entering text in this table, The rows of the lower horizontal line are moved down one row at a time.

On the other hand, when the bottom end of the table is closed with a horizontal line as shown in Figure 6, the left margin mark 6
Text is input into the block editing area between 2 and the vertical line 65 of the table, and when the characters are filled to the right end, the table is extended. Indent mark 61 on the vertical ruled line without
is displayed at the extended position, and if text input is continued thereafter, the block editing area is enlarged by adding 11゛1 to the indent mark in the same way as described above for Aft.

To execute the block editing area enlargement function for the 191 unreleased items with IAl mentioned above, from the ruled line pattern to the table position (α
need to be identified. First, the tabulation function of the product of the present invention will be briefly explained.

The operation procedure for drawing ruled lines is as follows. In other words, move the cursor to position 1N on the CR74 screen where the starting edge of the ruled line should be.
1 Touch the ward lokey 12.

In response to this, the control unit 2Vi executes a predetermined program and displays a pattern to guide the selection of the type of ruled line (thin line, thick line, double line, broken line).

By operating the tincture corresponding to the desired type of ruled line, a cross pattern of the corresponding line type is displayed at the cursor position, and the same cursor l repeat key 13 is pressed in the direction in which the ruled line is desired to be drawn.
When you touch VC, ruled lines will be drawn in that direction.

The code related to the display or printing of such ruled lines is a 16-bit code, and 7 onts of the pattern of the ruled line display or the ruled line printing are assigned to each code. The upper 8 bits of the 16-bit data indicate that it is a ruled line code, and the lower 8 bits specify a 7-ont pattern. In this example, the 7-ont for printing is 32x32 and CR
T-screen display font #- Each is composed of a 124x24 dot matrix, but in the case of 7-ont ruled lines,
Very limited portions of these matrices are used.

In other words, the area 71 in FIG. @ area 72 indicating a ruled line portion extending downward. These are the area 73 indicating the ruled line portion extending to the left and the @ area 74 indicating the ruled line portion extending to the right. Two bits each are allocated from the upper side of the lower 8 bits. And no ruled line = 00, thin line: 01, double line: 1o1 thick line: 11
This is represented by , so the lower 8 bits are ooooooo
oo I/'i No borders in that part, 00000101
H As shown in Figure 7 (b), SaW extends to the full left and right width of the font, 00000001 Fi 7th FgJ ('+
A thin horizontal line that appears only on the right half of IIC (a dashed line is drawn across the continuation of this line), 11111
111 ij (see FIG. 7), there is a thick cross section, and 10100000 I/i (I/i), as shown in FIG. 7 (e), there is a double line extending over the entire vertical direction of the font. Therefore, from the code written in the text memory, it is possible to identify whether the display content corresponding to the code is a ruled line (based on the first 8 bits) and the type of ruled line (based on the lower 8 bits). The lower 8 pits of the written data in the text memory, which can be checked in relation to the shuffling cursor position, are 0.
If it is 1000001, then K as shown in Figure 7 (to) K
It has an L-shaped pattern, and it is determined that this Baku12 display area corresponds to the upper left end of the table, and the lower 8 pits are 010.
If it is 00100, it is determined that the pattern has an inverted pattern as shown in FIG.

Now, the control section 2 that performs the enlargement of block editing as described above.
The processing will be explained based on chart 79 in FIG.

Characters are written into the text memory by touching the character key 14, and are displayed on the CRT 4, and the cursor is moved each time a character is input. Now, as shown in FIG. 9(A), as you proceed to enter characters into the darkness between the left margin mark 62 and the indent mark 61 located to the right, the characters between them will eventually become -
The cursor will be at the KIri indent mark 61 position. The control unit reads the contents of the cursor position in the 2-bit text memory and checks whether the right end of the block has been reached or not, in other words, the mark (indent mark, margin mark, vertical Ruled line -
For example, it is checked whether a vertical ruled line (-) such as 01010000 has been written. Character writing and cursor advancement are repeated until the right end is reached, but
When the right end is reached, the control section 2 next checks whether that position is the right end of the last row of the block. This reads the contents of the next line immediately below the cursor position from the text memory, and the read code is shown in Figure 9 (/4) [as shown by the two-dot chain line, it is a block end regulation mark (indent mark). If so, move the cursor K to the left end of the same block in the next line, assuming that it is not the right end of the last line of the block. On the other hand, if there is no block end regulation mark, the block end regulation mark in the line of the current cursor is copied and written to the corresponding position of the next line. (Insert the line where the mark is copied) [Figure 9 (b)]. If the block end definition mark is an intent mark, the block editing area is expanded one after another by repeating such processing. This enlargement can be stopped by deleting the newly copied indent mark by operating the cursor movement key L 5 el key 16. Also, if you perform an operation such as starting a line before reaching the right end of the block, the expansion will be automatically stopped.

Copy the indent mark as shown in Figure 8.
The presence or absence of a table in this copy material or inserted line, in other words, the presence or absence of a ruled line code, is checked, and then it is checked whether this is the end of the table.
The code is as shown in (g). If it is not the end of the line, even if there is a ruled line code, it will be in the state of waiting for key input as in the case of an indent mark.

Therefore, in the case of a table with an open bottom end as shown in FIG. 5, the vertical ruled lines are extended in the manner of copying the indent mark.

Such a process of extending the table downward is performed in the same way when characters are input inside a table whose lower end is closed in advance (a horizontal line at the lower end is drawn in advance) as shown in FIG. this! ! To explain based on LO diagram U), no characters are written in the bottom row of the table (the horizontal line occupies one line by itself, so no characters are written in the horizontal line part).

Therefore, when characters are input to the right end of the table (the bottom line in the table is one line above the horizontal line) and cursor K reaches the position of the vertical ruled line, the control unit recognizes that it has reached the right end of the block. and reads the code in the display area under the cursor position (indicated by a two-dot chain line) from the text memory. Then 010
00100, the current cursor position is determined to be the right end of the last line of the block, and as shown in
Insert a line with 0000 in two places. Then, the inserted row is checked to see if there is a table, but since there is no code in the row indicating the end of the table, example J-, there is no code in Figure 7 (f) or (g), so the cursor is moved to the inserted row. The next line is waiting for key personnel. In this way, the block edit @ area is expanded downward even when 8 is included in a closed table.

On the other hand, in the case shown in Figure 6, the table is not extended unnecessarily. 1 of the bottom horizontal ruled line as shown in Figure 11 (a).
When the cursor K is positioned on the vertical ruled line 65 on the left side of the table in the next upper row, the control section 2 uses the code box 7 (see) J on the display section below the cursor position to set the current cursor position to the corresponding one. It is determined that it is not the right end of the last line of the Glock, and the cursor K is advanced to the left end of the next line [Figure 11 (b)]. Then, as the character input progresses further and the cursor K reaches the display area in the lower left corner of the table, [Fig. Insert the line where the mark is copied between the next line [11th
)1o However, this inserted row contains the code of the Fi table,
That indicates the end of the table, so next #i table bottom left +
7) 01000001 and outer cloth bottom O01000100
The code is replaced with the code of the indent mark 61, and the cursor is moved to the left end of the replaced line to wait for key input. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, the block editing area is enlarged by the indent mark 61, and the state aFi shown in FIG. 11 is not actually visible.

Note that this process is performed by providing a margin directly below the table, and adding the title of the table to this margin.

This is to facilitate the entry of annotations, etc. Therefore, the sixth
The block editing area is not enlarged by adding an indent mark to the vertical ruled lines inside the table as shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure.

As described above, the word processor according to the present invention is a word processor equipped with a block editing function, which includes the ruled lines that constitute a table as block regulation information, and when character information is input up to the right end of the last line of a default block. extends the block by one line, and when the ruled line information indicating the feeding of the table is included in this extended line, the ruled line information is added to a non-printed line such as the indent mark, or even a line without any display. Since it is configured to convert into hidden block specification information that does not cause the block to be edited, it is convenient that the own ship can be extended without requiring any special operations even if the lower limit of the block editing area is not specified in advance. In addition, if the size of the table is set in advance, and there is insufficient space to enter characters in the table due to an error in character count calculation, etc., the table will be automatically enlarged downward. This provides convenience. Furthermore, when entering characters in the block editing area on the side of the table, the unnecessary downward expansion of the table as described above is not performed, and the lower part of the table is automatically blanked out and used as another block editing area. This makes it possible to create a word processor with extremely useful block editing functions.

Note that the present invention can be applied to a Kana-Kanji conversion type Japanese word processor and a European language word processor in exactly the same manner.
