Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten a telegram editing time when adding or deleting a character to a designated telegram, by securing an available space area immediately after the designated telegram, with a subsequent adding or deleting of character to the designated telegram. CONSTITUTION:A telegram searching part 2 reads out a stored head address of the designated telegram concerned and the number of characters from a control table, and stores and holds them. Subsequently, the telegram searching part 2 reads out the number of stored head addresses of a telegram which becomes an object to be under-filled, compares this value with a value which had added the stored head address of the stored designated telegram, and the number of characters, and holds its result. Subsequently, the searching part 2 applies a telegram under-filling indicating signal to a telegram under-filling circuit 6. The telegram under-filling circuit 6 is driven by the telegram under-filling indicating signal from the searching part 2, and starts under-filling at every 1 telegram from a final statement (n) through an available space area E positioned at the end of the whole telegram in an editing memory 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a message editing method for a telex device with an editing memory, and particularly to a message editing method suitable for adding or deleting characters to a specified message in an editing memory.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing message editing in a conventional telex device with an editing memory, in which 1 is a message specification input section, and 2 is a message search section that searches for a specified message by specifying the message and reads the message contents from the editing memory, which will be described later. , 3 is a U-telegram storage section (editing memory) for storing messages; 4 is an editing section having a printer and a keyboard for editing input; and 5 is a message storage section management table for storing the storage start address and number of characters of each message.

In the above configuration, when a message specification is given to the input section 1, the message search section 2 also reads out the storage start address and number of characters of the specified message from the management table 5, and the editing memory 3
is driven, and the message is printed on the printer of the editing section 4. Addition or deletion of characters to or from the printed designated message is performed via the editing input keyboard of the editing section 40. When such a correction is made, the message is moved within the editing memory 3. For example, when adding one character to a specified message, all messages following that message are moved down by one character, and when deleting one character, all subsequent messages are moved up by one character. Ru.

As a result, changes in the storage start address and number of characters that occur in the editing memory 3 are applied to the management table 5 by the editing section 4, and the contents of the table 5 are updated.

In this way, in conventional message editing, when adding or deleting characters to a designated message, all subsequent messages must be shifted character by character by the number of added or deleted characters. Therefore, the processing time for adding or deleting characters increases in proportion to the message capacity stored after the specified message, and especially if there is a large amount of message after the specified message, the processing time becomes extremely short. There is a drawback that it cannot be helped.

Therefore, the present invention aims to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a message editing method that can shorten the message editing time when adding or deleting characters to or from a specified message.

A feature of the present invention for achieving this object is a message editing method for a telex device with an editing memory, which reads an arbitrary message as a specified message from a plurality of messages in the editing memory, and adds or deletes characters to the message. , first locate the empty area in the editing memory at the end of all stored messages, sequentially lower each message after the specified message through the empty area, and place the empty area immediately after the specified message. The present invention provides a message editing method for a telex device with an editing memory, such as adding or deleting characters to the designated message after securing the message.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show an embodiment of message editing according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing message editing, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of message bottom alignment in the editing memory.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 6 is a telegram sub-speech circuit, and the other configurations are basically the same except for the operations associated with the telegram sub-speech circuit 6. The message lowering circuit 6 is a circuit that sequentially lowers each message after the specified message in the editing memory 3 via the empty area in order to secure an empty area immediately after the specified message.

Figure 3 shows the structure of the message storage management table.
Five words are prepared for each message, and for each message, one word is used as the message classification, two words are used as the storage start address, and two words are used as the number of characters. Note that the message classification indicates the nature of the message, such as whether the message has been received, has been sent, or was created in local mode, and is particularly relevant to the present invention. If a message designation is given in the configuration shown in FIG. 2, the message search unit 2 reads the storage start address and number of characters of the specified message from the management table 5, and stores and holds them. Next, the message search unit 2 reads the number of storage start addresses of the message to be bottom-aligned from the management table 5, and compares this value with the value obtained by adding the storage start address and the number of characters of the stored specified message. , hold the result. Next, the search section 2 gives a message bottom end instruction signal to the message bottom voice circuit 6.

Here, as shown in Figure 3, a message (
2) is given.

The message lowering circuit 6 is driven by the lower message instruction signal from the search unit 2, and reads all the messages (telegrams (11 to (n)) in the editing memory 3.
)) is located at the end of the final telegram (n
) for each message. The telegram downstream circuit 6 continues to use the search unit 2 until the comparison results in the search unit 2 match.
The search unit 2 is driven for each message by the message bottom fill instruction signal, and updates the corresponding table in the management table 5 every time it bottom fills one message.

As a result of the above operation, an empty area is automatically secured in the editing memory 3 immediately after the specified message ((b) in FIG. 3).

Next, the editing memory 3 is driven by the message search unit 2,
The specified message is printed on the printer of the editing section 4, and characters are added to or deleted from the specified message via the edit input keyboard.

After the specified message is corrected, the empty area CB immediately after message (2) (specified message) is returned to the state before bottom filling, as shown in (a) of Figure 3, and the next specified message is It can be used as a preparation for telegrams. At this time, each message (telegrams (3) to (n)) after the specified message is filled up through the empty area (equal), and the management table 5 is updated.

As explained above, according to the present invention, an empty area is secured immediately after a specified message, and characters can be added/added to the specified message.
Since deletion is performed, it is no longer necessary to shift all the messages after the designated message character by character, making it possible to significantly shorten the message editing time.
