Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure high operability without using any special display means, by displaying the column number showing the position of a cursor shown together with a text row at a fixed position on the screen of a line display. CONSTITUTION:The line numbers of the text row under display are alloted to head 2 digits 50 on the screen of a line display, and the column number showing the real position of a cursor 54 to the next 3 digits 51. Then underlines are added to the 3 digits for distinction from the display digits 50. A blank equivalent to 1 digit is secured after the display digit 51. The subsequent 74 digits are equal to text display digits. The left and right margins 52 and 53 are fixed at the upper part of the head digit and the upper part of the final digit of a text dislay part respectively. Tab marks 55 and 55' moves on the screen in response to the setting change of tab positions. The cursor 54 is fixed at a position after moving the cursor 54 to the right edge under display of the text row. Under such conditions, only the column number 51 of the cursor is changed. At the same time, the horizontal stroke is possible for the text row.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a word processor device that processes documents in European or Japanese languages.

There are two types of word processor devices in terms of display means. One is to display C using a page display device.
Displays an entire page or a predetermined number of lines of text at once.The other method is to use a line display device that has the number of digits equivalent to one line of text or less, to display text in single line increments. It is to be displayed.

In the case of the latter word processing device, since the screen space is small, operational restrictions tend to occur compared to the former device (-).An object of the present invention is to The object of the present invention is to provide a display method that achieves good operability without adding any special display means other than the device.

However, on the screen of a line display device, a cursor is displayed in addition to the text line, but according to the present invention, a column number (number of digits) indicating the position of the cursor is displayed at a fixed position on the screen. be done. This column number does not indicate the relative number of digits of the cursor on the screen, but rather the number of digits counted from column O on the text print form to the cursor position. Tip 9: The column number is displayed on the screen, not the apparent cursor position, but the true cursor position.

In this way, by displaying the column number at the cursor position on the screen of the line display device, the text line can be displayed in a fixed format regardless of the change in the left column, as described below. Also, as will be explained in detail later, when scrolling horizontally when a line of text cannot be displayed on the screen, the input digit position of the line of text can be correctly recognized even if the cursor on the screen is fixed at the right edge. .

The present invention will be described below with reference to one embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a word processor device according to the present invention. This overall structure is
It is similar to a conventional word processing device.

In the same figure, 101 is a keyboard, which is used for inputting text data and control commands.

103 is a line display device, and in this embodiment, the number of digits is 80 digits, which corresponds to one line (two lines) of text. 104 is an external storage device such as a floppy disk device.

Reference numeral 102 denotes a control device that controls the entire word processing device and performs processing such as text editing. This control device] 02 includes a keyboard 101 and an external storage device 1.
05, a mechanism for data transfer between the memory and external equipment 103, 1.04.105, control regarding the display method of the present invention, and other operations.

Text data input from the keyboard 101 is temporarily stored in the internal data buffer of the control device 102 (internal data buffer) and sent to the line display device 10.
3, and are successively displayed on the cursor indicating the input position on the screen. When one line of text data has been input, the contents of that text line are transferred to the printer 104. i2 is output and C is printed.

Further, data is automatically written to the external storage device 105 immediately before the data buffer overflows.

Also, to add, delete, or modify input data, use keyboard 1.
This is done by moving the cursor to the desired position using the cursor control keys on the 01, but since these may be the same as in the case of conventional word processors, no further explanation will be given.

The display format on the screen of the line display device 103 is shown in FIG.

50 is the display digit of the line number (number of lines) of the text line being displayed, and the first (leftmost) two digits on the screen are assigned to C.
It will be done. 51 is a display digit of a column number (number of digits) indicating the true position of the kernel 54, and the next three digits of the display digit 500 are assigned Q. Each digit (2) of this display digit is underlined to clearly distinguish it from the previous display digit 50. After the display digit 51, there is one blank space, and the subsequent 74 digits are This is a text display digit. 52 is a column number display area that does not indicate the position of the left margin' (LIIM), and is fixed at the top of the first digit of the text display area. 5; 3 is a right margin ' (LIIM) position. This is the column number display section that indicates the position of IL LI M), and is fixed above the last digit of the screen and the last digit of the shunting text display section.55
．． Reference numeral 55' indicates a tab mark, which moves left and right on the screen in accordance with the setting change to tab position 1. 54 is the aforementioned 111
1 < This is a cursor, and indicates the digit position that is the target of operations such as inputting a text line and making 1-1 corrections.

As shown in the figure, even if the left mark is changed, only the column number displayed on the display section 52 changes, and the text itself is displayed at a fixed position (fixed format display). The position of the manual digit of text 1 can be correctly recognized from the column number of the display digit 510, and the relative relationship with the position of the left mark 7 can also be determined from the display section 52 and the display digit 51.
The number of digits that can be used as a text display section is 50.
5] and a total of 6 blank digits (-1 is 74 digits, but this is generally sufficient for creating ordinary documents.

If the text line key manually moves the cursor 54 strokes 1nJ
, and the text line continues (
(If the text line exceeds 74 columns), press Cursor 5/I.
is fixed at the right edge and horizontal scrolling moves the text line and format to the left. Even in this case, the column nanobar display digit 5I at the true position of the cursor 54
, so you can easily recognize the input digit position of the text line. When editing a text line that exceeds 74 columns, horizontal scrolling is also performed to the right, but in this case, 74 columns from the beginning of the text line appear in the text display area, and the cursor 54 is fixed at the right edge. I'm sorry.

In this case as well, the position of the cursor 54 can be clearly recognized from within the display digits 51.

The configuration of the main parts of the control device 102 for performing the above display control etc. is shown in FIG. 8 and will be described.

In the same figure, 200 is an input code determination circuit that distinguishes the human power input from the keyboard 101 into text data and Fa/Kunyo/Data. are stored in other memories 202, respectively.
It is sorted by 0.

The data buffer 201 is 73Z with diagonal lines l1li
As shown above, the first buffer area a and the second buffer SR area b
It is divided into two types. The text data before the cursor is stored in the first buffer area a, and the text data after the cursor is stored in the second buffer area (111).The memory 202 is a memory that stores format information. , and the number of digits for one line, and each format information is assigned in a bit-corresponding manner to 1 and then 1-.

Reference numeral 203 is a line counter that counts up when a text line is switched m, and displays the line number of the text line to be displayed. This line/counter 208 is cleared when the [line] matches the vane size and when a line break or page break is instructed from the keyboard.

204 Huff's play control circuit, keyboard attack
According to the instructions from 1, the text data in the data buffer 201 is processed and transferred to the display memory 205, and the 47 note information, anodar rhino, cursor information, etc. are transferred to the format memory 206.

Display memory 205 and formant memory 2
0 (5) is discarded for 80 digits, and these pieces of information are combined and displayed on the line display device 103 as shown in FIG.

Note that the column number of the cursor can be obtained by calculating the cursor position. That is, the data buffer 102
In the process of transferring the contents of the cursor to the display memory 205, the display control circuit 204 determines the column number of the cursor from the memory address at which the cursor position was set in the format memory 206.

Note that there are parts related to the printer 104 and the external storage device 105 in the control device +1toz, but these are the same as conventional ones (-1, so the explanation will be omitted.

As described above, the present invention has many advantages, such as being able to display text lines in a fixed format without any trouble without adding any special display means other than a line display device, and easily developing even horizontal scrolling. It can be said that the effect of
