Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the operation for pattern registration and to suitably perform pattern correction, by setting an expanded pattern display region for pattern formation and correction and a region to display the standard pattern of pattern conversion on the same screen. CONSTITUTION:When the operator depresses a function key ''Registration'' on a keyboard KYB, a display controlling section DSC sets an expanded pattern display region A and a standard pattern display region B on one screen. The controlling section DSC makes pattern conversion for the pattern of the region A to convert the expanded pattern into the standard pattern and displays on the same screen. Thus, the operator can observes the pattern to be registered instantly and the expanded pattern and the standard pattern with comparison.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement of a registration method that simplifies the operation when registering new characters, etc., in, for example, a text processing device.

The Japanese processing device t manually displays kana and saragana on the keyboard, and by pressing the conversion key, extracts and displays the kanji corresponding to the pronunciation. These Japanese language processing devices, which have the function of creating Japanese language sentences and displaying, printing, or transmitting them to other devices, must have built-in patterns corresponding to characters, symbols, etc. Having patterns corresponding to symbols increases the storage capacity, which is not desirable. In other words, it is not a good idea to register patterns in advance for characters and symbols that are never used by a certain user or are used very infrequently, but rather for characters and symbols that are likely to be common to multiple users. It is common to provide users with patterns to

Therefore, if each user does not find a character or symbol that corresponds to a desired character or symbol among the provided patterns, he or she must be able to register the pattern at his/her convenience.

A conventional pattern registration method will be described with reference to FIG. 1st
The figure is a block diagram showing an overview of the data processing device, and D
SP is the display unit, DSD is the display drive unit, DSO is the display control unit, MEM is the screen memory, KYK is the key chain, F
DO is floppy disk 11iII 11 copies, 11'
DK indicates a 70-tube disk device.

The screen memory MΣM has a storage capacity for one screen of the display section D8P, and stores information to be displayed in a pattern. The display control section D80 reads out the information from the screen memory MIM at regular intervals and provides it to the display drive section D8D, so that the information is displayed on the display screen of the display section DSF.

Patterns that correspond to letters, symbols, etc. are Fushitsubee disk devices! The display control unit D80 decodes the character code entered manually from the keyboard KYB, reads out the corresponding pattern from the seven stomach disk device FDK, and transfers and stores it in the screen memory.

In this way, among the characters and symbols commanded from the keyboard KYE, those whose patterns are registered in the floppy disk device FDK can be displayed without any problem, but characters and symbols unique to the user can be displayed. I can't. Therefore, the pattern index is operated, and the operation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 8.

Pattern registration is initiated by pressing the function key "Register" on the keyboard KYB. When the "Register" key is pressed, the display control unit DSO sets an enlarged pattern display area as shown in FIG. 8(a) on the display screen. This area A is a one-character display area that is displayed on the screen during normal data processing, that is, a standard pattern display area B.
[Refer to FIG. 8])]. Specifically, if area B is 10 bits vertically and 10 bits horizontally, then
The enlarged pattern display area is in season x w bit! ll-1 dot, and is set to 7 dots vertically and 5 dots horizontally. The operator then uses the keyboard KYB to create the desired pattern. Specifically, while moving the cursor jkA, the operator must select 111! A predetermined character (for example, "x") is displayed on the dot. To simplify the explanation, let's consider registering the number "1" as a pattern, as shown in Figure 2 (3
), the character "x" is displayed on the diagonally shaded dot among the 5X7 dots.

Once the desired pattern has been created, the operator then presses the 7 key "Done" on the keyboard. As a result, the display control unit DSO is set to 1m#J memory ME.
Erase all the display contents of N and stop displaying the enlarged pattern display area. At the same time, the pattern of the person in the enlarged pattern display area is converted into a pattern by the display control @D80.

In the pattern conversion, the pattern in the enlarged pattern display area A is reduced so as to match the standard pattern display area B. When the pattern conversion is completed, the display control section D80 immediately transfers the standard pattern to the screen memory MIIiM without storing it in the 70 disk device IFDK, and displays the standard pattern on the display section D.
Displayed in standard pattern display range B of SP. This is to allow the operator to confirm the balance of the entire pattern. If the pattern displayed in the standard pattern display area B has the desired shape and the balance is good, the operator presses the function key "Correct" on the keyboard KYB and selects the index for continuing this pattern. For example, enter "ichi". As a result, the standard pattern is transferred to the 7p disk device FDK together with the index information and stored therein.

If the operator determines that the balance is poor and does not match the desired pattern, select 7 on the keyboard KYB.
Press the ``Re'' key.

Then, the display control 1@5D80 erases the display contents of the screen memory HEM, and at the same time transfers the enlarged pattern immediately before the "end" key is pressed to the screen memory MEN, and displays it again in the enlarged pattern display area M.

The operator adds or deletes the pattern while moving the cursor again, but at this time, the standard pattern is no longer displayed on the display screen, so the operator uses the standard pattern determined previously. I will remember and do it. When the calibration is completed, the "end" key is pressed again to display the calibrated standard pattern. The operator performs these operations until the desired standard pattern is obtained, but the problem here is that the pattern creation/calibration screen and both sides of the standard pattern display are separate screens. In other words, when calibration and confirmation are carried out several times (
This tends to increase as the shape of the character/symbol becomes more complex), making the operation more complicated. Further, when making corrections, the standard pattern is not displayed on the screen, so there has been a problem that proper correction cannot be made.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and provides a pattern registration method that allows for accurate correction without complicating the registration operation. The present invention is characterized in that while the standard pattern is displayed at the same time, when the enlarged pattern is changed, the display contents of the standard pattern are also changed accordingly. The pattern registration method according to the present invention will be explained below with reference to FIGS. When recording a pattern, the operator first presses the keyboard KY.
Press the 7 Anonymous key r Registration J on B. As a result, the display control unit DSO sets a large enlarged pattern display area and a standard pattern display area B on one screen. Next, the operator displays appropriate characters such as rXJ on each dot in the enlarged pattern display area A while moving the cursor. (Indicated by diagonal lines in FIG. 5.) At this time, the display control unit D80 converts the pattern in area A. That is, the pattern is reduced at certain intervals so that the enlarged pattern fits into the standard pattern display area. Then, the reduced standard pattern is transferred and stored in the m-plane memory MEM in order to be displayed on the same -S plane as the enlarged pattern. As a result, the enlarged pattern and the 41 single pattern can be displayed on the same screen, and the operator can immediately view the pattern to be registered while comparing it with the enlarged pattern. The operator presses the function key [Exit] (at that point, pattern creation and modification are being done at the same time, and the pattern in standard pattern display area B is the new value pattern), and the keyboard KY is pressed.
From B, input an index such as "ichi". As a result, the display control unit D80
The standard pattern and index information are transferred and stored in K, and pattern registration is completed.

As a result, if an operator enters the number "1" from the keyboard KYB during normal work, rlJ will be displayed in the pattern provided by the manufacturer, and if the operator enters "1" and presses the conversion key, it will be displayed as described above. "1", which has been registered as a pattern, will be displayed on the screen.

As explained above, according to the pattern registration method of the present invention, the enlarged pattern display area for pattern creation and correction and the area for displaying the standard pattern obtained by converting the pattern are set on the same screen, In addition, as the enlarged pattern is created or modified, the pattern in the standard pattern display area is also changed, making the operation for pattern registration easy. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of conventional pattern registration, FIG. 3 shows the display state of the display screen in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 shows the flow of pattern registration according to the present invention.
