Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform printing at a desired position in a pattern inputted through a graphic reader similarly with the printing of a general document by inserting a character, symbol, etc., at the desired position through a keyboard device. CONSTITUTION:When a character, symbol, etc., are entered into base paper 11 such as a slip, etc., whose insertion is speified by an underline 9 or frame 10, the format of the base paper 11 is read by an optical reader 2 and displayed on a CRT6. A cursor 12 is moved to the desired position by key operation on the keyboard device 1 while seeing the display, and the character, symbol, etc., are inserted. Printing is carried out by feeding a line feed printing head properly after feeding the base paper 11 to a specific position so that the printing is performed accurately at the desired position on the base paper 11 where the underline 9 and frame 10 are drawn.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a word processor having a function of arranging characters, symbols, etc. in designated positions using frames or the like.

In general, with conventional word processors, in documents where the position to write characters, symbols, etc. is specified, in order to accurately print at the specified position, it is necessary to rely on the direct typing function of a typewriter. However, the printing process became complicated and speeding up could not be expected.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional difficulties, to enable characters, symbols, etc. to be inserted into desired positions on figures input by a figure reading device, and to print at these positions in the same way as printing on general documents. The aim is to provide a word processor that makes it possible to do this.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In FIG. 1, when characters, symbols, etc. are input through a keyboard device 1, these are converted into corresponding signals, and figures (in this specification, frames and (including underlines) are also converted into corresponding signals, and both of these signals are sent to the graphic display device 4 via the central processing unit 3. In this graphic display device 4, signals such as figures, characters, symbols, etc. are synthesized and converted into signals corresponding to graphic display, and then sent to a CRT (cathode ray tube) control circuit 5 and displayed on a CRT 6. Both characters and 2@kasa are displayed. In addition, the floppy disk device 7 can store data of both the figures and characters/eye openings, etc. on the floppy disk, and the printer 8 can print the figures on the letters/symbols, etc. as necessary. I can do it.

The operation of the above configuration will now be described with reference to FIGS. 2(a) and 3(I)) and FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b).

When writing on a base paper 11 such as a slip where the place to write characters, symbols, etc. is designated by an underline 9 or a frame 10 as shown in Fig. 2 (1)), use this base paper 1.
1 is read by the 0CR2 and displayed on the CRT 6 as shown in FIG. Insert characters, symbols, etc. in the same way. In order to accurately print at a desired position on the base paper 11 on which the underline 9 and frame 10 are drawn, the base paper 11 is fed to a predetermined position using a slip feeding device, and then line feed is performed as appropriate. , the print head is moved and executed.

In this case, the central processing unit 3 separately stores the information read by the OCR 2 and the information input by the keyboard device 1 in the storage section, and transfers the characters, symbols, etc. input by the keyboard device 1 to the printer. 8.

In addition, if you want to synthesize graphs, frames, underlines, etc. with other text, please use the graph shown in Figure 3 (a).
The base paper 13 on which frames, underlines, etc. have been drawn is read by the 0CR2 and displayed on the CRT 6, and while looking at this display, the keyboard device 1 is operated to move the graph or insert text as shown in FIG. 3(b). It is sufficient to perform the printing manually. In this case, since it is necessary to also print the content read by the OCR2, the printer 8 is of a dot type having a graphic function or a combination type of a dot type and a type using matrix type.

As detailed above, in the word processor according to the present invention, figures such as frames and underlines, which are troublesome to manually input, are input using a figure reading device, and the composition of these figures with characters, symbols, etc. is checked on the screen. However, the key is that it can be done by human power, and the effect it produces is human.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a word processor that can display characters, symbols, etc. entered using a keyboard device on the screen and also modify and edit the display contents, a figure reading device and a graphic display device are installed, and figures input through the figure reading device are used. A word processor, characterized in that it is possible to display a graphic on a screen using a graphic display device, and to insert characters, symbols, etc. into a desired position of the graphic using the keyboard device.
