Abstract

PURPOSE:To reuse keyed-in data or commands so as to reduce the burden of input operations, by temporarily storing the keyed-in data or commands in an input buffer. CONSTITUTION:When a user keys in character strings of data or commands from a keyboard 1 and depresses an ''execute key'', the content is temporarily stored in an input buffer 3. A discriminating circuit section 4 judges whether the content of the input buffer 3 must be cleared or stored under the same condition based on a successively keyed-in content. Therefore, a content inputted just before can be reused by operating the ''execute key'' or ''edit key''. In this way, the burden of input operations, such as data, commands, etc., necessary for making documentation can be reduced.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a document creation device that creates a document by inputting data, and is particularly suitable for data input where similar data and commands are repeatedly used. Between methods.

[Background of the invention]

When a document creator creates a tabular document using a document creation device, a document creator enters "data" into the document.

"Arithmetic expression data" specified for the arithmetic relationship between data.

"Command, document format that specifies the creation operation type."

Specifying “command parameters” to specify entry locations, etc.
and an "execute" instruction to start the creation operation (usually by pressing the "execute" key on the creation device).

The "execute" key is a key for starting processing based on the key-in contents. ) etc. A series of operations are required. When the amount of data to be entered on a document increases.

This increases the burden on the document creator to input data or commands. In order to reduce the burden of this input operation, a method has been adopted as a conventional technique of reusing data or commands input during document creation. There are the following methods for reusing it.

(1) Data that has already been input and stored in the document memory,
[By commands (abbreviated as "copy" commands) that instruct operations such as copy J, l'-00PYJ, etc.

There is a way to reuse it. In this method, each time it is reused,
I had to enter the "copy" command.

In addition, with this method, one data is often entered in multiple locations at once, or numeric data is entered all at once, which has the disadvantage that it is difficult to check the entry status of each individual data. It was also difficult to reuse it by partially modifying it (hereinafter referred to as 1 editing function).

(2) Enter commands such as "EditJ, 1EDITJ,""?" (hereinafter referred to as "edit" commands), and
This 1. Document data stored in the document memory is stored in a common editing work area (usually an input area for data and commands).
It is often used as a gathering area, and will simply be referred to as ``Irikaniria'' hereafter. ) and use it as is or edit it and reuse it. This method had the disadvantage that the ``edit'' command had to be keyed in each time, and it was a heavy operational burden when entering a large amount of data.

(3) There is a method of accumulating and storing input commands or command parameter groups in a specific memory or file and reusing them (usually called command cataloging).

Regarding this command catalog, as in the case of data reuse above, the command for calling the command catalog (hereinafter referred to as "command") is used to call the command catalog.

A key-in (referred to as a "call" command) is required each time.

In any of the above cases, data or commands that have been keyed in will be cleared from the input buffer or input canister when the "Execute" key is pressed to start an individual process, and if reused, they will be cleared from the storage location. It is necessary to perform a "recall" operation or perform another command operation for direct use. (Objective of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device that reduces the amount of stress.

(Summary of the Invention j In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, data or commands entered by the user are temporarily stored on the sofa when the user enters the room using the press of the "execute" key as a trigger, and the data or commands keyed in by the user are temporarily stored on the sofa when the user enters the room. By determining whether to clear the contents of the input buffer or store them as is, depending on the input contents, the immediately previous input contents can be reused with a simple operation. An overview of the processing flow is shown below. First, the user enters a string of data or commands from the keyboard and presses the ``Execute'' key. Therefore, the processing mode is ``basic mode'', and at that point, the input line on the display device that displays the input l<shaft or input buffer holds the data or command input just before. Depending on the type of key that is pressed first in the state, in the case of the ``Execute'' key, the contents of the input input immediately before can be used.If it is a data key for data input.

Clear input data from the input buffer.

In the case of the "direction" key or "edit" key, the data input just before is stored in the input buffer, and the "execute" key is used.
Similar data can be easily entered into other cells by simply pressing a key. In this way, even if the user does not know how to use different keys or commands, the information that has already been entered can be recognized while identifying the content of the user's keystrokes. The data can be used with simple operations.

(11 System configuration Figure 2 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. 1 in the figure is a keyboard, data keys are used to key in various data and commands, and specific functions are used instead of the command input type using the data keys. It includes the function keys used for execution and the "Execute" key to start each process execution. 02 is the input character register, 3 is the input character register, and "Execute" Contains a series of input strings separated by keys. Reference numeral 4 is a determination circuit section, which includes a processing mode pit ("basic mode") for determining whether to store or clear data in the input buffer.
data entry mode, etc.). Reference numeral 5 denotes an input character editing circuit section, which edits character strings on the input buffer. Reference numeral 6 denotes a document creation circuit section, which creates document data on the document memory 7 in accordance with data or commands on the input buffer. 8.9 is a display control unit and a display device for displaying the contents of one document memory or input buffer on the display device.

(2) Example of system operation An example of creating a product shipping ledger as shown in FIG. 3 will be explained.

First, a table frame as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on display device 5 (9 in FIG. 2). The bottom row is the input buffer, where data and commands entered by the user are stored in the input buffer (second
At the same time as being stored in 3) in the figure, the 5-man power contents are displayed in this input canister.

When the "Execute" key on the keyboard (1 in Figure 2) is pressed as a trigger, if the contents of the input area are data, the key-in contents are stored in the document memory (7 in Figure 2) and the topmost area of the area is A.
, B, Ol..., etc. At the left end of the table area, there are 1, 2, . Line numbers such as ... are displayed. The one with the national seal at A1 is called a block cursor, and it indicates the area where data can currently be written. Each location in the table area is called a cell. When moving or specifying an entry cell in the table area, click "" on the keyboard.
Move the block cursor to the desired cell using the direction keys (Country, [E], 3.Mi), or enter the cell symbol (AI, B5゜...) in combination with the column symbol and row number. ...) is used. How to move the block cursor.

It is also possible to do this automatically by predefining the direction of movement or by storing the previous movement direction.

(Al In the case of reusing input data, for the table frame in Figure 4, Tokyo, Tokyo Minami, Osaka 9 Nagoya, ・
Based on the "shipping request slips" collected from various places such as..., the requesting branch name, product name, and quantity are entered.

)゛The lock cursor will automatically move from A2 → A3 → A4, and each branch will have 3 slips for Tokyo and 2 slips for Tokyo South.
Suppose there are 3 Osaka cards. First, in order to enter the branch name for the number of slips, enter "1 TOKYO" in the input field and press the "Execute" key. As shown in Figure 5, 1 TOKYO 1ν is entered in cell A2, and the block cursor is , move to cell A3, and the ``1 power'' keyed in earlier remains on the input box.Next, when you press the ``Execute'' key, 1 power is input in cell A3, and the ``1 power'' button is pressed again. "By pressing the key, you can also print to A4"
"TOKYO" is input.

At this time, Irukaniria was still called "Tokyo".

The block cursor is at A5, and I want to input "1 Tokyo Minami" into this cell.Therefore, I press the "Edit" key to generate "Tokyo" in the entry box and add "Minami" after that. In this state, if you key in "Minami", you will hear "1 Mi" after "1 Tokyo" in Ikanilia.

When "su" and "mi" are entered and the "execute" key is pressed twice, A5°A6. "1 Tokyo Minami" is input.

Next, in order to input 1 Osaka' in A7, first enter "O".
When you key in, the character string "Tokyo Minami'" on the input screen is cleared, and the state shown in Figure 7 appears.Next, key in 1o', @su', 1ka, and press the ``Execute'' key 3. When you enter times.

As shown in Figure 8 A7. A.8. Enter "Osaka" into A9.

Next, based on each slip, enter the product name in columns B and 0.

Input the number one by one and enter LQ+<. From the state shown in Figure 8 above.

To move the block cursor to B2, press the direction key circle eight times, then press [E] once, and the block cursor moves to 82.

At that time, the input Kanria remains as ``1 Osaka'', and the string of characters ``Osaka'' is cleared, and the character string ``Osaka'' is cleared, and later, the character string ``Osaka'' is keyed in as ``Te''.

When the "Execute" key is pressed, "TV" is entered in B2.

In Figure 8, enter more data and use the "Sort" command.

When one row/column is rearranged using the r-move J command or the like, the "product dispatch ledger" shown in FIG. 3 is completed.

(-In the case of reusing human commands, nine lines for the subtotal by product shall be inserted at the end of each product in the table shown in Figure 3.

The input key is ``1N5ERT 6''.The leading ``1'' is a symbol to distinguish between data input and command input as described in (a).

"6" is a command parameter indicating the 6th line. Next, when the "execute" key is pressed, a blank line is inserted in the 6th line as shown in FIG. At this point, "1N5ERT 6" is displayed on the input canister.6
If you want to insert one more line into the 10th line, just press the "Execute" key. 10” and press the “Execute” key.

In this way, when inputting commands, the same procedure as for inputting data in (a) above is used to input the previously input commands. The user's input operation load for data or commands is extremely heavy. In response to this (1), according to the present invention, data or commands once input by the user are temporarily stored in the input buffer, and unless another data or command is input, the "execute" key is pressed or l'# A simple key, such as pressing the "i collection" key, allows the take or command to be reused.
