Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a document creation machine, and more particularly to a document creation machine that can create and manage text strings (memos) other than regular documents.

[Prior art]

A conventional document creation machine (hereinafter referred to as a word processor) is also equipped with document correction and addition functions.

However, this correction/addition function is only applicable to official documents, and does not apply to so-called memo writing.

However, when handling documents in an actual office, writing memos and the like is often an essential daily task. In other words, comments by the document creator when circulating a document, related document names, prerequisites of the document content that cannot be written on the document, logical development process, alternatives, detailed matters, etc. Although personal memos cannot be included in official documents, they are essential in daily work.

Conventionally, when using a word processor to attach a memo to a specific part of a document to be created or stored, the only option available was the following method.

(a) Write the content of the memo or its index properly in the created document.

(b) Print the document in memory, handwrite the contents of the memo in the margin of the printing paper, and save it.

However, method (a) has disadvantages such as the document itself becomes complicated, it is not possible to write in many memo contents, and furthermore, it is not possible to write in the memo of individual A.Method (b) The only documents in the files managed by the company are official documents, and the mask (original) of the document with all relevant information filled in must be stored on printing paper rather than in the memory of the word processor. The disadvantage is that it does not.

In this sense, the medium for document creation and storage has changed from paper to electronic
In this technological trend, it cannot be said that conventional word processors have successfully digitized pages.

Furthermore, as a similar known technology, there is a function to display a document list index on a display and retrieve the corresponding document by instructing it on the screen. It is not possible to create an arbitrary link between any part of a document and any part of another document.

[Purpose of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and has an important relationship with documents created and stored by word processors (hereinafter referred to as regular documents), but cannot be displayed in written form. Other text strings (so-called memos, etc.)
An object of the present invention is to provide a word processor having a function of creating and storing an attached document (hereinafter referred to as an attached document) in a form associated with any specific part of a related regular document in the same manner as a regular document.

In the case of a format input signal by the format key 101, the format input control circuit 502 is selected by the control circuit selection circuit 500. Based on the cursor position signal sent from the display 2, the 7-bit input control circuit 502 creates format data indicating the character input range on the screen, and stores it in the format data main area 302 on the memory 3.

The file control circuit 503 activated by the file key 103 sequentially transfers character string data from the file 4 to the text data main area 301 on the memory 3, and sends text data in the same format as that formed by the character string input control circuit 501. Generate data. Further, format data indicating the character input range of the text data in the file 4 is also transferred to the format data main area 302.

After the format control circuit 502 or file control circuit 503 is controlled, control is then transferred to the main display control circuit 504. The main display control circuit 504 sequentially extracts all character data one character at a time from the text data main area 301,
The arrangement position on the display screen is determined by fitting the character into the character input area represented by the format data in the format data area 302, and the code and arrangement position of each character are sent to the display 2.

The pick control circuit activated by the pick key 102 is
The position on the display screen indicated by the cursor movement key 106 is received from the display 2, the address on the text data main area 301 of the character displayed at the same position is found, and the address is moved to the pick address main area 303.

Assuming the above basic functions, you can create and write memo notes.
The operation in the case of management will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. Here, 200 to 204 in FIG. 3 and 205 to 209 in FIG. 4 show the states of the screens on the display 2.

It is assumed that a document being newly created in memory 3 or a document recalled from file 4 is already displayed on the screen of display 2 (301, 302° 303, 200).
.

If there is a part to which a memo is to be attached, pick that part using the big key 102 (ao4).

The addresses at both ends of the tangled part (portion A of 201) (9) are stored in the pick at 1/area 303.

When the instructions from the memo attaching section are completed, the user presses the combination key 107 to indicate to the system that the memo creation/management function is to be started (305). When the combination key 107 is pressed, the attached character input control circuit 506 is activated.

The attached character input control circuit 506 receives input through the input device 1. Create an attached document by sequentially storing the attached character string data in the text data subarea 301' (aOS)
At the same time, the main display control circuit 504 is activated to display the attached document in the system area (SE) of the screen of the display 2 (S portion of 202).

If the attached document has already been filed, the attached character input control circuit 506 activates the file control circuit 503 based on the pressing of the file key 103, and files the file 4.
The specific document (attached document) inside is called up (307), stored in the text data sub-area 301', and the main display control circuit 504 is activated (10) to display the specific document in the system area of the screen of display 2. do. If the operator wishes to attach a part of the displayed specific document, the operator activates the Bic control circuit 505 by pressing the Bic key 102, and presses the cursor movement key 106.
The character string data narrowed by the position specified on the play screen is checked (part B of 309.203). The addresses of both ends of the character string data that was read in the text data subarea 301' are stored in the read address subarea 303'.

The attached character input control circuit 506 inputs the text data big part on the text data main area 301 and the text data sub area 301' based on the pressing of the execution key 105.
The above text data (or its big part) is data-linked (310° 204). This link is made as follows. In other words, as shown in Figure 5 (a)
An identifier having a unique system ID number is added to the highlighted part (attached character string B) in the text data sub-area 301'. (b) Next, text (11) Insert the identifier C at the tip of the checked part (attached character string combination part A) of the data main area 301. This identifier C includes a functional character a indicating that the memo is attached, and a text data main area 3.
The length of the data that is bitked with 01 has the ID number of the picked part in the linked area, that is, the text data subarea 301'.

Next, with reference to FIG. 4, an explanation will be given of the operation when it is desired to know whether or not a memo has already been attached to an official document or a document being created, and the contents thereof.

The official document being newly created in memory 3 or recalled from file 4 is displayed on display 2 (401, 402, 403, 205). If you want to know whether there is one or not, press the combination display key 108 (404).

By pressing the combined display key 108, the part of the official document to which the attached document is attached is specially displayed (for example, black and white inverted display) (12) (parts A and E of 405 and 206). Here, if an attached document is attached, as described above, the attached document part in the text data sub-area 301' is already linked to the corresponding part of the text data in the text data main area 301. There is.

If there is a part of the specially displayed part that you want to display the contents of the attached document on the display 2, move the cursor to that part, for example, part E of the screen 206, and press the join key 107. (406.207).

When the combination key 107 is pressed, the attached character control circuit 508 is activated, which further activates the BIC control circuit 505 to obtain the address on the text data main area 301 of the character displayed at the designated cursor position. Next, the position of the tip of the bump is determined.

The attached character control circuit 508 further determines the identifier C added to the tip position of the big character, extracts the character data on the linked text data subarea 301' (13), and displays it in the main display control circuit 504. Start up and display it in the system area on display 2 (
208).

If the attached document cannot be displayed in the system area, the screen is switched and displayed by pressing the screen switching key 104 (407, 209).
