Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a document creation device f equipped with a portable document input device that creates a simple document externally and sends the document file data to a higher-level document creation device for editing. This is related to K.

Conventionally, a single document creation machine often creates all documents. However, the work of creating a fortune telling with one machine is monopolized by the machine, and other creators cannot use it.

For this reason, documents created in the lower model were stored on a floppy disk that was compatible with the lower model and the higher model, and the documents were transferred by inserting the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive of the higher model. However, when creating a document with a lower model, the creation 41 is almost the same as with a higher model.
Many of them have i-functions, and documents are often transferred through connections between models.

On the other hand, in terms of the time required to create a document, it is possible to create a document using an off-line device while the higher-end model is in use, and create a document while the higher-end model is in use. ) is more efficient if done manually. The method of inserting a memory medium includes a method in which a module medium such as a thin C-MO8RAM is inserted in addition to a floppy disk to read documents.

The C-MOS RAM is a battery backup and includes a battery, which increases the cost. In addition, the aforementioned floppy disk can be used as an off-line dexterity for inputting documents, but it is sensitive to temperature, humidity, dust, etc., is unstable, and is low in reliability, so it has little merit as a balkful type.

Furthermore, due to the need for a motor-driven K (source, etc.).

There were problems with single-warp stitching and low cost, and there were drawbacks with the F6 structure and operability.

This invention is an OF F' line device that is exclusively used for document creation, and is an initial input to Sani Isogane, and for example, has a crude human power function that does not include kana-kanji conversion, and is fully complemented by higher-end models, making it a full-fledged type. Further, document transfer is performed by manifold transfer by inserting a memory medium into a higher-end model, with the aim of reducing costs and improving document creation efficiency. The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

In the above connection configuration of each unit, the document creation procedure will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

1), input the document to be created in advance from the keyboard section 1a (-1 RA not shown in figure 2)
It is stored on M and displayed on display section 1bK. On the other hand, when creating a document on the OFF line, turn on the low-level document creation machine 60', turn on the main switch section 11, and insert the memory card 5 into the card writer section 9.
Insert into. At this time, the bin contact section 5a of the memory card 5 is connected to each No. 4g connection bin of the card writer section 9 (not shown), and waits for data input. Sixth, make sure that the memory card 5 is set using the card set lap IQ.
Display as a. Signals input from the keyboard unit (in this embodiment, a tablet is shown) 7a are sent to the keyboard controller 17°ROM13. It is displayed as a character on the -C display section 8 via the control circuit 192 and character generation section 20.

These operations are performed by instructions from the CPU and peripheral circuit 12, the input shrine name is stored on the RAM 14, and the document is created by input from the document input section 7. Furthermore, when it is necessary to convert hiragana into kanji in a Japanese document, the conversion can be input by using the kana-kanji conversion dictionary section 21 and operating the function keys not shown on the keyboard unit 7a.

The document created in the first part is transferred from the RAM 14 to the function key section (not shown) of the keyboard unit 7a via the interface control circuit 16.
Through email! J car +: Controlled by an active element (not shown) in s, and stored in a storage element (not shown).

In this case, after transferring the data to the memory card 5, the RAM
The data on IJ is automatically reset. During writing, the card writing operation lamp 10
b indicates that the operation is in progress and disappears after completion. Also, search for the memory card 5 that was created once.

If you want to copy, use the keyboard control section)? a
By pressing the function key (not shown), the information is displayed on the display unit 8 and search is made possible. During this time, the lamp 10c is displayed during the reading operation. In the case of copying, once the contents of the memory card 5 are displayed on the display section 8 and confirmed, the contents can be transferred from the memory card 5 to the RAM 14 by pressing a function key (not shown) on the keyboard unit Ia. At this time, the number of copies is instructed from the guidance information section of the 1 display section 8, and the required number of copies can be made only by inserting the memory card 5.

In this case, the card embedding lamp 10b is displayed first. An example of the low-level document creation 4a6 has been described above. This low-level document creation machine 6 handles the print output 1 function of a printer, etc.
It is impossible to completely report the document format because it is not done, but it goes without saying that by adding a link control section, character generator, etc., the output can be QJ-enabled and the format can be supported to some extent. . Since the low-level document creation machine 6 is an OFF line machine, it is desirable to have a portable format so that it can be used anywhere.1.1 Next, the document created with the low-level document creation machine 6 is Manually transfer the memory card 5 to input to the higher-level document creation machine 1 / Connect the bin contact part 5a of the memory card 5 to the card set part 4a of the card reader unit 40 connected to the higher-level document creation machine 1 using the C5 model. 4 cents.

At this time, a card set wrap 4b indicating cent completion;
is displayed.

On the other hand, in order to simplify the operation, the high-level document creation machine 1
6. Keep the control section 2a always in the ON state.

Accordingly, upon completion of setting the memory card 50, a card interrupt signal 25 is transmitted from the card reader unit 4, a data read signal 26 is transmitted from the communication control section 2a facing the communication control section 2b, and in response to this, the card reader unit 4 transmits a data signal 2T. This data is stored character by character in the same way as the code information of the memory card 5 and input into the read buffer 24 from the keyboard section 1a. Note that the data format of this read buffer 24 distinguishes between the memory card 5 and the keyboard section 1&. Furthermore, if the code created externally (off-line machine) differs from the code of the higher-level document creation machine 1, code conversion for the higher-level document creation machine 1 is required.

This step 4 is performed by the AP interface section 2B. After the conversion, each character is requested by the editing AP section 29 and transferred. The transferred code or code is stored in a RAM (not shown), and then sent to the display unit 1b via the ROM and character generation unit.
displayed as an interrupt. The above is from the OFF line,
This is an example of a method for creating a document by importing data onto the upper-level document creation machine 1. Note that the timer control circuit 15 is used as a means to transfer information without error.

Because of this structure, in the OFF U/IN correct sentence r4 creation 1196, rather than manually inputting information in a format modeled on the automatic format of the lower document creation machine 1,
It is possible to respond.

Although the above-mentioned embodiment shows a case in which kana-kanji conversion is performed, from a cost perspective, although there will be future advances in IC technology, the cost of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary cannot be overlooked.

As another embodiment, FIG. 4 shows a tab left input section which is designed to completely complement the higher-end models.

The tablet input section corresponds to Moe's key port unit) 7a.

In this embodiment, the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG.
21 is required. In other words, its characteristics are control characters (equivalent to function keys), ANK, ? It is possible to input characters such as ``fi'' in a solid manner, and use the higher-level document creation machine 1 to convert these control characters into document creation control characters, thereby allowing normal sentence errors to be input.

Normal documents contain a mixture of kanji and kana. The proportion is said to be 30-40% in Kanji and 60-7% in Kana for Ichibun moss.

Top 1 most frequently used characters (1) If one character is 5 or 14, 42 characters are kanji, and the remaining 58 characters are kana and symbols. These 100 characters can be used in approximately 71% of normal documents. It is.

Therefore, from these results, the number of kanji characters is reasonable f40 ~
Approximately 50 characters are recommended. In this implementation 11, 39 characters that are relatively frequently used in official documents are arranged, but in addition to kosu t, there are also kanji that are frequently used for general sentence reading.

32 is a function key for "Create a document with the lower document creation machine 6"; 33 is an alphabetic character; 34 is a number; 35
indicates kana/English symbols. Reference numeral 36 indicates kanji characters used in normal documents, 31 indicates a hiragana character area, and the document input section is composed of a small number of dial surfaces. In addition, katakana,
Lowercase letters, etc. are written in katakana on function key 32,
Press the lowercase letter key - to ``koto (deyori, board + f +
The f mode can be converted and supported by the keyboard control section 17 shown in FIG.

Note that the voiced and half-voiced marks are controlled by pressing the pillow key in the kana/English symbol 35.

The control characters may be allocated using internal codes in the lower document creation machine 6Vc, and these characters may be made readable by the higher order document creation machine 1 using software. Table 1 shows examples of control display characters, and Table 2 shows an example of inputting a sentence using these characters.

Sentence-t in Table 2 is created with the configuration shown in FIG. 2 of the low-level document creation machine 6 shown in FIG.
It is stored in the card writer section 9.

Note that the display section 8 of the lower sentence slJ generator 6 is underlined to make it easier to read when inputting the conversion specification. This method is applicable only to the display section 8 and is not written on the memory card 5. By inserting the memory card 5 containing data into the card reader unit 4,
Using the method described above, code conversion is performed by the AP interface unit 28, and data is transmitted through exchange with the editing AP unit 29.

This data is displayed as a document in the form of an interrupt on the display section fb'2 of the lower-level document creation machine 1, and is stored in the RAM (not shown) of the higher-level document creation machine 1, so that it appears as if the higher-level document creation machine 1
It is edited and created as if the document was created with .

Table 1 Table 2 Example of Document Input to Memory Card The elements of the memory card 5 will become cheaper in the future due to advances in T and SX technology. If the floppy disk described above is used, a power supply is required because a motor is used, and the machine becomes larger. Therefore, it is not suitable as a portable type document creation machine. On the other hand, it is possible to use bubble memory, but it consumes a large amount of current, requires a large power supply, and has disadvantages in terms of miniaturization. More sticky tails, memory card 5.

I used it as a balk full type, and it was very good in terms of operability.

Najt+, information food can be used as is as a Japanese document if it is used as a 2-byte code. On the other hand, if a 1-byte code is stored in the memory card 5, the higher-level document processor 1 converts it into a 2-byte code 'ft+,' which means that the capacity of the memory medium of the lower-level document processor 6 on the OFF line can be used twice as much. Furthermore, the tablet configuration of the document input unit 7 in the latter embodiment described above can of course be used on the platform having the Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary t# in the former embodiment. Therefore, the document input device using the memory card 5 can be made compact in terms of its mechanical structure and has particularly excellent operability.

In addition, the card reader unit 4 is
Write the contents of the memory card 5 set in the
It is also possible to configure 414 so that it can be calibrated.

By creating an input method that allows the input of a mixture of control characters, ANK, and some kanji without using calligraphy, OFF
It is possible to completely complement a high-end document creation machine as a line machine, and it has great advantages in terms of low cost and miniaturization. In addition, memory cards are more reliable than floppy disks, are smaller and can be easily carried, and can be used for business cards, telephone calls, etc.

Management information, other normal use - It can be used as a memo medium for items.
Since it is possible to simply display, search, etc., there is a great advantage that the off-line machine can be used as a normal memo writer.

On the other hand, since the inkface connection part of the higher-level document creation machine is configured with a general-purpose interface, it is possible to connect with other models, as well as micro cassettes and floppy disks, expanding the use of the higher-level document creation machine. It has the advantage of being able to achieve
