Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an editing display method in a display device, and particularly to a display method in an editing function of correction or deletion.

In conventional display devices, the following processing is performed for editing functions such as correction or deletion.

For example, in a correction process, when a cursor is moved to the position of a character to be corrected and a new character is entered using a key, a correction operation is performed on the display control device and the corrected character is displayed. Further, in the deletion process, when the cursor is moved to the position of the character to be deleted and the shift key or erase key is inserted, the deletion operation is performed in the display control device and the displayed character is erased. The present invention is a display device with improved editing functions for correction or deletion.

That is, instead of correcting or deleting each character individually as in the past, it is now possible to specify the range of correction or deletion. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide an editing function display method for a display device that specifies the beginning and end of a character to be corrected or deleted in an editing operation of correction or deletion.

The display device having the editing display method of the present invention has high utility value in systems that often require proofreading of characters.

One example is a Japanese word processor. This Japanese word processor is a device in which an input text entered by keystrokes is edited in a processing device, and the output result is output to a display device or a printer device. These devices frequently proofread the input source text using key-operated editing functions such as correcting, deleting, and inserting characters.
The desired output sentence has been edited on the display device and is then printed by the printer device. Therefore, the processing is slow when correcting or deleting one character at a time, and an editing display method like the present invention is desired. Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a Japanese word processor equipped with the present invention.

The Japanese word processor shown in the figure includes a processing device 10, a main memory 11, a disk storage device 12, a kanji pattern memory 13, a CRT control device 14, a CRT display device 15, and a printer control device 16. , a printer device 17 , and a keyboard device 18 . and main memory 11 and disk storage device 1
2 is connected to the processing device 10 via a memory bus 19. In addition, the kanji pattern memory 13 and the CRT control device 1
4, a printer control device 16, and a keyboard device 18 are connected to the processing device 10 via an I/O bus 20. Furthermore, the CRT display controller 14 and the printer controller 16 are connected to the kanji pattern memory l via the KPM bus 21.
Connected to river 3. The keyboard 18 has alphanumeric characters.
Kana. It is equipped with keys such as symbols, numbers, and functions.

In addition, the kanji pattern memory 13 contains commonly used characters (characters here include not only kanji but also alphabetical characters, numbers, kana, symbols, etc., and the characters listed below have the same meaning. .) The pattern is memorized. Furthermore, the disk storage device 12VC. stores all character patterns and dictionaries. Furthermore, main memory 11V
C stores a program for searching characters stored in the kanji pattern memory 13 and the disk storage device 12, an algorithm for converting kana-kanji, and the like. The operation of the Japanese word processor described above will be explained below.

First, an input sentence is entered by key operation on the keyboard 18. In this key input operation, for the kanji part of the input sentence, the reading of the kanji is input in kana, and for other input sentences, the character itself is input. The input data is then transferred to the processing device 10. Processing device 1
0 means that the kanji part inputted in kana is stored in the main memory 11. Obtain the character code (in this case, only kanji) converted to kanji using the stored kana-kanji conversion algorithm. In addition, the character code is used as is for key input sentences. Then, the processing device 10 uses the two character codes to search for the address of the kanji pattern memory 3 or the disk storage device 12 in which the character pattern information corresponding to the character code is stored. During the search, a copy of a portion of the contents of the disk storage device 12 is stored. The Kanji pattern memory 13, which is composed of high-speed random access memory, is first searched. If the corresponding character pattern is not stored in the kanji pattern memory 13VC, the disk storage device 12 is searched, the character pattern is read out, and written into the kanji pattern memory 13 to be stored in advance. Writing of this character pattern is performed by replacing the old character pattern in the variable area of the kanji pattern memory 13 with the old character pattern (V). For example, the CRT display device 15 [when outputting display characters, the processing device 10
The address information retrieved as described above is transferred from the address information to the CRT control device 14, and the CRT control device 14 reads the character pattern from the kanji pattern memory 13 based on the address information and displays it on the CRT display device.

Also, in the case of VC printing on the printer device 17, the address information retrieved above is similarly transferred from the processing device 10 to the printer control device 16, and the printer control device 16 reads the character pattern from the kanji pattern memory 13 based on the address information, and prints the character pattern to the printer. This is printed by the device 17. Now, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the external configuration of the CRT display device 15 described above.

According to the CRT display device 15 shown in the embodiment, the second

, an operator guidance display area 31 , and an input kana series display area 32 . The converted text display area 30 displays the results of converting the kana series extracted for each clause, and corrections, insertions, deletions, etc. are made in this area. The operator guidance display area 31 displays guides, messages, page numbers, etc. from the system to the operator. All access to this area is prohibited. The input kakana series display area 32 is the keypad 18
Displays the kana series input from the kana keyboard. In input mode, the cursor is in this area. Next, the editing and displaying method of the present invention using the above-described display device will be explained with reference to FIG. That is, the data entered by key input 40 is converted into alphabetic characters by input control 41. Number. Only kana series input sentences such as kana and symbols are extracted and stored in the input sentence display area of the display buffer 43 via the input buffer 42, and the input sentences (kana series) read from the input sentence display area are It is displayed in the input kakana series display area 32 in FIG. In addition, the function input control 41 entered by the key input 40 is extracted as a function command,
It is transferred to the text editor 44, and the text editor 4
4 is the function [Related operator guidance is taken out and stored in the operator guidance area of the display buffer 43, and the guide, message, page number, etc. taken out from the operator guidance area are displayed on the operator guidance display in FIG. Area 311
fC. It will be displayed in a row. Furthermore, the input sentence entered by the key input 40 is sent to the kana-kanji conversion 45 via the input control 41, stored in the converted text area of the display buffer 43 via the kana-kanji converted text buffer 46, and is then converted from the converted text area. The read converted sentence (Kanzi-kana mixed sentence) is displayed in the converted sentence display area 30 of FIG. Among the key inputs 40, the Kanle signal is the cursor control function 47.
The data is input to the display device 15 via the display device 15, and is also input to the text editor 44. The operation shown in FIG. 3 described above will be explained with reference to specific examples of correction and deletion operations.

FIG. 4 shows an example of corrective editing. A trigram,
Prior to the explanation, it is assumed that the keyboard 18 is equipped with a "correct" key, a "delete key", an "execute" key, and a "cursor movement" key. For example, if you want to correct "Kaigaishi Yutsuchiyo" displayed in the output in Figure A to "Business Trip Overseas," first use the cursor movement keys to move the cursor to the beginning of the correction. Move it to the character [ka].
This operation is shifted and displayed on the display device 15 by the output of the cursor control function 47. Next, when you press the correction key, the cursor position and the "correction" function command are displayed in the text editor 44VC. is input. As a result, operator guidance data regarding "correction" from the editor 44 is stored in the operator guidance area of the display buffer 44, and its output is stored in the operator guidance area 31 of the display device 15 [for example, "Correction: Where to go". ?” message is displayed. At the same time, a tag is added to the character pattern of the character "ka" in the document buffer 46 by the function command code from the text editor 44, and when the character pattern is output to the display buffer 43, the tag The character D] to which an attribution bit or code is added and displayed on the display device 15 is displayed as an attribute.The attribute display is displayed in reverse (reverse). In the following explanation, a reversed display (indicated as a mouth seal in the figure) will be used as an example.The operator will see the character "ka" highlighted and the message guide "Correction: How far?" displayed. Then, as a second operation, the cursor is moved to the last character "U" to be corrected, and the correction key is pressed again. As a result of this operation, a display as shown in FIG. 4B is produced. That is, in the same manner as in the above operation, the final character "U" is displayed in reverse video, and the message "Correction: Please input" is displayed in the operator guidance display area 31. Further, in this operation, the cursor moves to the input kakana series display area 32. Then, the operator inputs a corrected sentence from the keyboard 18 as a third operation. The input sentence is displayed in the input kakana series display area 32 of the display device 15 via the input sentence display areas of the input buffer 42 and display buffer 43. Fourth
Figure C shows how the correction input sentence is entered using the keys.
The characters inside the seal indicate the kanji designation. Then, when the operator presses the execution key, the kana-kanji conversion 4
In step 5, it is converted to Kanji, and the corrected sentence is displayed as a mixture of Kanji and Kana. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an editing display for deletion.

This deletion editing operation is performed in the same operating procedure as the correction editing described above. In the embodiment, a case is shown in which "Japanese in Japanese Word Processing" displayed in the converted text display area 30 is deleted. First, as shown in Figure A, move the cursor to the character "日" and press the delete key. As a result of this operation, the characters "day" are displayed in reverse video, and at the same time, the message "Delete: To what extent?" is displayed in the operator guidance display area 31. Next, move the cursor to the previous position of the character and press the execution key.
``Japanese'' will be deleted. As described in detail above, according to the editing display method of the present invention, editing processing for correction or deletion can be performed all at once.

Also, the beginning and end of the characters to be stopped or deleted)
Since the information is displayed in terms of attributes, operation confirmation for the operator becomes extremely clear.
