Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent deviation of correspondence of KANA letters (Japanese phonetic syllabary primated at the side of ideograph) due to edition by storing characters designated to add KANA in a specified memory area correlating to the KANA letters, replacing character code with controlling information, and obtaining KANA letters according to the information. CONSTITUTION:A cursor is set to the position of the forefront character of a character string to which KANA letters are to be added by operating a key inputting device 11 After operating a KANA designation key, the cursor is set to the position of last character of the character string to which KANA letters are to be added following guide message of a display unit 13, and the KANA designation key is operated. When designation of character string to which KANA letters are to be added, an input controlling mechanism 12 displays character string (characters to which KANA letters are to be added) in above-mentioned designated extent in the input line of the display unit 13 to demand inputting of KANA letters. When inputting of KANA letters for above-mentioned designated characters to which KANA letters are to be added is completed, inputted KANA letters are to be added is completed, inputted KANA letter string is handed over to a proofreading and editing mechanism 14. The proofreading and editing mechanism 14 checks adequacy of inputted KANA letters and prepares data structure, and displays KANA letters in a KANA letter display space when the cursor is on the character to which KANA letters are to be added.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a Japanese word processor capable of handling ruby characters.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] In conventional Japanese word processors that can handle characters with ruby, ruby is added in half-width hiragana, katakana, etc., so ruby is added. Separate from the text line, a line specific to ruby is required above or below it, and if proofreading or editing is done, the correspondence between ruby and ruby characters will be lost. There was an inconvenience.

[Purpose of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is possible to easily input ruby without treating it as an independent or line, and also allows for correspondence between ruby and ruby-covered characters by proofreading, editing, etc. The purpose is to provide a Japanese word processor that does not deviate.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention stores a specified character with ruby in a specific storage area in association with the ruby character, and also stores the code of the specified character with ruby in the specific storage area. Replace it with the control information of the stored ruby character specification,
The ruby text and the corresponding ruby text are obtained according to this control information.This allows ruby to be input easily without treating ruby as an independent line, and also allows for ruby text to be used in proofreading, editing, etc. It is possible to always handle characters with ruby at the correct ruby position without shifting the correspondence with the ruby characters.

Embodiment of the Invention FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a Japanese word processor in an embodiment of the invention. In the figure, 11 is a key manual device used for inputting documents containing ruby characters, specifying work, etc. Here, a specific function key for specifying ruby characters (J: J, referred to as the lower ruby specification key) is used. is provided. 12 interprets the input key of the key human power device 11;
This is an input control mechanism that controls the display and output of input characters (input sentences) and controls the activation of a proofreading/editing mechanism that will be described later.

can be stored in

Figure 6 shows an example of ruby pattern composition when outputting ruby print in the above embodiment, where (a) is a composition example of each ruby font in horizontal writing, and (b) is an example of ruby font composition in vertical writing. It shows.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the printing position of characters with ruby in the above embodiment.

Here, the operation of one embodiment will be described without reference to the drawings. First, from the display screen of the display device 13, a character string to which ruby is to be added is selected and specified. That is, operate the key input device 11 to move the cursor to the first character position of the character string to which you want to add ruby, operate the ruby specification key, and then follow the guide message on the display device 13 to move the cursor to the position of the first character of the character string to which you want to add ruby. Place the cursor on the character position and operate the ruby specification key. When the specification of the character string to which ruby is to be added is completed, the input side t11I mechanism 12 displays the character string in the specified range (ruby characters) on the input line of the display device 13, and prompts for the input of ruby characters. . FIG. 2 shows the display layout of the display device 13 when inputting ruby characters. When the input of ruby characters for the designated ruby characters is completed, the input ruby character string is passed to the proofreading/editing mechanism 14. After checking the validity of the input ruby characters, the proofreading/editing mechanism 14 creates a data structure as shown in FIG. Display ruby in the display field. To explain the data structure shown in FIG. 3 here, 21 is a sentence buffer provided in the proofreading/editing mechanism 14, and for normal character strings, document information consisting of the character code string is stored. A control code pointer (Ccp> is entered in place of the normal character code for characters with subscripts (superscripts, subscripts, etc.). This i13 control code pointer (cap) is stored in the control code table 22. The control code table 22 contains a specified ruby character, a ruby character code input corresponding to the ruby character, and control information for identifying ruby. Therefore, even if you edit the front and back of ruby characters, the correspondence between ruby characters and non-ruby characters will not be lost.When saving this document, the document control mechanism 15 uses the data shown in Figure 3 above. The structure is converted into the storage image shown in FIG. 4 and stored in the external storage device 16. When the document is retrieved, the document control mechanism 15 performs a conversion process that is the reverse of the data conversion for storage.

Since ruby characters are input and edited in this way, there is no need for extra lines for inputting and displaying ruby characters, and proofreading and editing also ensure that ruby characters correspond to ruby characters. You can always have the correct ruby bones without being misaligned.

In addition, even when there is ruby, the speed of proofreading and editing is almost not slowed down, and since ruby input corresponds to ruby-covered characters, it is more specific, so inputting, correcting, etc. It can be done easily and smoothly.

Next, the operation of printing out ruby characters stored as described above will be explained. From the displayed menu, ``When printing is specified, the document to be printed is specified, and the four types of printing are set, the printing fee m mechanism 17
Document information designated for printing is read out from the external storage device 16 via the document system tiI mechanism 15. Here, when the printing fee tI mechanism 11 inputs a character code string including a ruby control code (rs, +'e) as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. Controls printing of subscript characters.

(a) First, by detecting the ruby control code (rs), a line feed is performed to a preset ruby print line position. That is, a line break is made to the ruby print line shown at (1j) in FIG.

(b) Divide one line of input text into a ruby character line and a ruby character line, and store them separately in associated line buffers (181, 1B2).

(c) Calculate the address of the ruby font from the JIS code of the ruby character, and input the ruby font.

(d) Combine ruby fonts two characters at a time. See Figure 6.

(e) The synthesized image with ruby is output to the printing device 18 and the ruby is printed.

(to) Line feed to the normal character printing line position. That is, the line feed is performed to the line position where the ruby-covered characters are printed, as shown by (j) in FIG.

(g) Print a normal document (in this case, a ruby text string).

Figures 5 to 7 are for explaining the above-mentioned printing operations, respectively. In Figure 5, one line of character string is divided into a ruby character string and a ruby-covered character string based on a ruby control code. In the ruby character line, the positions where ruby is not added are supplemented with a space code (sp), and the printing position correspondence between ruby and ruby-covered characters is established.

FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b) each show an example of ruby pattern composition, in which two characters of 1/-□4 ruby font of normal characters are synthesized to make it 1/2.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the printing position of a ruby-covered character, and the ruby print position (1j) is set with the optimum line pitch most suitable for the ruby-covered character.

Since such a printing system for characters with ruby is performed, it is possible to obtain a clear printing result of characters with ruby that is very easy to see and in which the ruby is always placed at the optimum ruby position. Furthermore, since a line feed to the ruby print position is automatically performed when ruby is printed, the user does not have to control the line feed.

The above explanation is based on an example in which ruby characters are displayed in a specific display position called a ruby character display field, but the application is not limited to this, and can also be applied to, for example, when ruby characters are displayed in a reduced size and displayed in a document display area. can.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the Japanese word processor of the present invention, a specified character with ruby is stored in a specific storage area in association with the ruby character, and the specified character with ruby is stored in a specific storage area. By replacing the character code with control information for specifying characters with ruby stored in the above-mentioned specific storage area, and obtaining ruby characters and corresponding ruby characters according to this control information, ruby can be made independent. To easily input ruby without treating it as a line with ruby, and to always handle characters with ruby at the correct ruby position without changing the correspondence between ruby and ruby-covered characters even when proofreading, editing, etc.
