Abstract

PURPOSE:To underscore inserted data by giving an underscore at or near an indication symbol for showing where data is to be inserted into another data. CONSTITUTION:A CPU performs arithmetic, logical judgement, etc., to peform according to input data from a keyboard KB. The keyboard KB consists of a key group CK for character input and a key group for commanding various functions; the key group CK includes character keys and an underscore key, and the key group FK consists of a registration key MK, a name key NK, a print key PK, a call key CLK, a storage key MK, a start key SK, etc. Processed data are displayed on a display device DISP. The device DISP has an undrscore displaying function and performs display while judging whether undescoring is required from the high-order one bit of each character code. In a buffer BUF1, information from the keyboard KB is stored and while the high-order one bit is furnished with information on whether underscoring is required or not, insertion data are stored in a buffer BUF2.

However, the removed/inserted data to be inserted is stored in a specific medium.

Also, when creating the insertion data (7), it had to be saved on a special storage medium before it could be used for the insertion process.

Furthermore, there was no means to easily instruct whether or not to add an underground line to the inserted data. Furthermore, when the insertion data has a variable length, it is not easy to make the length of the unlined data to be completely variable.

Furthermore, even if a symbol for specifying the insertion position is present in the inserted data, the symbol cannot be used for any purpose other than as a means for specifying the position.

The purpose of the present invention is to
It is another object of the present invention to provide a processing device that enables the method of type i1 and has a good operation fI. The object of the present invention is to provide a processing device t that can register and use the same data even at 4111 degrees.

The purpose of the present invention is to fix the insertion position by 411 when attempting to print without adding 0 to the tab that is valid when inputting and collecting pongee collection, and to print manual data. It is an object of the present invention to provide a processing device that can be executed extremely easily when inputting data.

The object of the present invention is to
It is an object of the present invention to provide a processing device which can easily instruct whether or not to attach an angle line.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a processing device that can change the length of the unlined line to be attached when inserted, even if the inserted data has a variable length of t+J. be.

One embodiment of the present invention will be explained below.

CPU1 is a microprocessor that performs calculations, logical judgments, etc. The fast address bus AB, control bus CB, and f-1 bus DB are connected to 9LT, AB, CB, and D.
Controls the Kanryu equipment etc. connected to B.

AB transfers No. 16 indicating the target of control 'f@j' via the address bus.

OB is a control bus that applies control signals to each controlled object.

The DB transfers various data via a data bus.

The ROM is a control memory that stores control procedures and the like shown in FIGS.

RAM is random access memory, each building data KB
The i-keyboard consists of a group of keys used by the operator to give instructions to the non-device. KB is a group of keys for inputting characters.
and a group of keys FK for commanding each 'Ni function. Figure 2 shows the i1\ and details of the keyboard.

The key I\1cKi includes, for example, a character key and an underline key. Key group FK is registered key RK
, name key NK, print key PK, call key OLK, save key MK, opening key SK, B tab set key BTK
, B tab execution key BTkK, and its Sendai type editing keys, such as cursor movement keys, tab keys, etc.

1) ISP [, Display device and refresh memory.

It includes a cursor register, CRT controller, CRT, etc. The CRT controller plays the role of displaying character code information written in the refresh memory and cursor position information stored in the cursor register on the CRT. The contents of buffer BUF 1, which will be described later, are as follows:
The information is displayed on the CRT according to the CPU's 114 instruction.

DISP also has an underground display function. That is,
The high-order 1 bit of the 8-bit character code is used to determine whether or not there is an underground line, and the result is displayed on the CRT.

PRT is a printing device, and plays the role of printing information stored in a buffer BUF3, which will be described later, according to instructions from the CPU.

DISC1i This is a storage device that stores literary texts created by this device.

NAME R11i: CI is a register for temporarily storing the name given to each document, that is, the file name when saving the document etc. to the DISC.

BLIF 1 is a buffer for storing information such as characters input from the keyboard KB, and documents such as letters, lists, etc. are created here. The information stored here is
It is assumed that one character is expressed in 8 bits, the lower 7 bits express the character type, and the upper 1 bit expresses whether or not there is an underline.

The contents of buffer BUF1 are generally BUF i (N)
Let it be expressed as That is, it is assumed that BUF1(N) represents the Nth information in the buffer BUF"1.

BUF2 is a buffer that stores information to be inserted. The information to be inserted as described later is in the buffer BL.
A file is created using IF1, and transferred to buffer BUF2 by one of the two routes described below. One is the ltL connection 7a BULI' from the buffer BUFI.
2, and the other is a path to the buffer BUF 2 via another storage medium, for example, a storage device kDISG. Also, the information stored in the buffer BUF2 consists of a plurality of records separated by ti\information. Alternatively, it may be a plurality of fixed length records. It is assumed that the inner bounds of buffer BUF 2 are generally represented by buffer BLIF2(N). That is, buffer BUli':2 (N) represents the Nth blue information in B buffer BUF2. Also, let us express it as BLIF2 (P, Q) as another expression. That is, B.U.
Let F2(P,Q) represent the information of the Qth: vinegar l of the Pth record in the buffer BUF2. Buffer B
Once the information in UF2 is determined, it is easy to establish a correspondence between BUF2(N) and BUF'2(P, Q). Especially when the buffer BUF 2 is composed of fixed length records, the correspondence is obvious.

BUF3 is a buffer for temporarily storing information to be printed, and the information stored in buffer BUF2 that should be inserted is inserted into the information stored in buffer BUF1 for hand # and temple. This is used to store information about the results of input.

P″GH1GH1 One of the aforementioned paths, i.e. buffer BU
This is a 7lag to notify that information has been transferred directly from Fi to buffer BUF2.

(3PTE1( is a register for storing the position of the cursor to be displayed on the CRT, and (1) (I
II U, which is also associated with the address of buffer BLIF 1. That is, as mentioned above, when the inscription of buffer BUFI is displayed on the CRT, the register CP'I'hJ (which corresponds to the position in buffer BUFi and the position on the CRT) is , the correspondence can be seen as a cursor on the CRT.

The operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be explained.

After turning on the power, the operator starts operation by pressing the start key. Furthermore, pressing the start key is essential when starting a task.

By pressing the start key, the screen on the cRT is cleared and a new document is ready to be created. Here, the operator operates the keyboard KB to create a new document, etc., or modify a previously created document stored in the storage device @DISC.

First, I will briefly explain B tab M&N.

The operator can freely set the B tab in any position in the input sentence. The setting method is to press the B cup set key BTK. This is exactly the same as the method of inputting characters. The operator can move the cursor by pressing a cursor key (not shown), but by pressing the B tab execution key BTKK, the cursor can be moved to the position where the B tab is set.
You can jump to @ at once. This function is 6%
This greatly helps input information. Thus, by using the single letter key or many other editing keys,
Text data 2 Insert data such as list.

It is used to create data to be inserted such as letters.

Next, the operating method when attempting to perform mail merge printing will be explained.

The operator first creates the information to be inserted. Figure 6 (
An example is shown in 2). The book marks here are delimiter marks for each record, and each record has a name written on it. Once you have created the list, DISC it.
You can save it to your account and take it out when you need it, or you can directly insert the list you just created! It may be registered as information.

Saving to storage device 1 DISC 3 is performed as follows.

First, enter the file name when saving. To enter, press the name key NK and then enter the file name from the keyboard KB. After that, the data is saved by pressing the save key MK. The saved list can be used later as an insert file. -You can also use the list you just created as data for insertion without saving it to a storage device such as DISG. At that time, the operator only has to press the registration key RK. Easily insert the data next. Of course, it may be created anew, or it may be discharged from the storage device DISC.

To recall from the storage device DISC, press the name key NK, then enter the file name from the keyboard KB,
And press the discharge key. The data to be inserted, such as a letter, is created and completed using a known method. 61st
An example of this is shown in the mountains. Here, it can be input by pressing the mark [B tab set key BTK]. When insert printing is executed, insert data is inserted one after another at this position and output. Next, I will explain how to perform mail merge printing. If f-1 has been registered by RK during registration, mail merge printing will be executed simply by pressing the print key. If the registration has been made in advance and insertion data such as a list is stored on the storage device DISC, first press the name key NK and then input the file name using the keyboard KB.

Next, press the print key PK to display the storage device DIS.
Insertion printing is performed using insertion data such as lists stored on C.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained in detail using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 6 to 5.

FIG. 6 is the main flowchart of this embodiment.

By turning on the power, this flow is executed and the above-described operations are executed. Each step will be explained below.

1. Wait for data input from KB. If it has been entered, proceed to step 2.

2. Read the input data from KB.

If the input data is from a character key, tab set key, etc., proceed to step 4. If not, proceed to step 5.

4. Write the input data to the position corresponding to the cursor pointer in BLIF 1, and increment the value of the cursor pointer. As a result, the input data is displayed at the position of the cursor on the CRT screen, and the cursor advances by one.

Step 4 will be explained in further detail.

(1) Load the input data into BUF 1.

If the input data is underlined data,
Turn ON the upper 1 bit of internal medicine in the memory corresponding to the cursor position in BUF1.

If the input data is character data or output data from the tab set key, the data is stored in BUF1.
Move to the position corresponding to the cursor position within.

(2) Increment the cursor pointer.

(The internal medicine and cursor pointer contents of 31BUF1 are refreshed into the memory and the cursor pointer is written.)

5. If the input data is input data from the start key, proceed to step B. If not, proceed to step 7.

6. Initialize flags, etc. 0 ■ Clear refresh memory (fill with space code) ■ Clear NREG Clear oBUFl ■ Clear BUF2 ■ Clear BtJF 3 ■ Reset FG ■ Initialize cursor pointer ■ Initialize the cursor register 7. If the input data is input from the tab execution key, proceed to step 8. If not, proceed to step 9.

8. Move the cursor to the position where the B tab is set. In order to do this, the contents of BUF 1 from the position where the cursor exists are sequentially read to find the position where the B tab code exists, and the address corresponding to that position is written to the cursor pointer. Finally, take the value of the cursor pointer into the cursor register,
Display on CRT.

9. If the input data is input from a registration key, the process advances to step 10. If it is old, proceed to step 11.

10. Move all the contents of 8UF1 to BUF2 and set it to F”0
Set.

11. If the input data is input from the name key, proceed to step 12. If not, proceed to step 13.

12. All data registers NRE that are hidden from KB

15. If the input data is input from the Indo key PK, proceed to step 14. If it is old, proceed to step 15.

14. Perform merge print processing. Details will be described later 〇15,
If the input data is input from the save key MK, the process advances to step 16. Even the oldest advances to step 17.

16. Save the data stored in BUFl to I) ISG. Assume that the keyword (filename) at that time is the name stored in the fi register NREG.

17. If the input data is input using a call key, proceed to step 18. If not, proceed to step 19.

18. Recall document data etc. from DISC and
Put it in. The keyword (file name) at this time is the register NRgGK stored name=1.

19. If the input data is any other editing key, proceed to step 20. If not, proceed to step 21.

(Figure 4).

If 141 F G =: l, proceed to step 14.6.

If FC,...0, step 14.21Cp.

14.2 Recall a document from DISC using the data stored in register NREG as a keyword (file name) and store it in BUF2.

14.5 Reset the FC.

14.6 Execute print processing. (Output the contents of BUF'3 to the printer.) 14.7 Increment the current parameter P.

14.8 If P2PM^X (that is, if the insertion is completed), return.

If not, proceed to step 14.3.

Here, P=PMAX indicates that the insertion has been completed for all records of the insertion data.
