DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a document creation device capable of displaying ruled lines, and more particularly to a method for creating all kinds of table frames in the device.

(B) Prior Art Conventionally, document creation devices do not have a mode for creating table frames, even though there are many opportunities to create tables in documents.
As shown in the "Operation Manual", operate the cursor movement keys and draw the front lines one by one.
The table frame is created by creating a table frame, or by specifying the start position fδ and end position of the ruled line and drawing the ruled lines one by one.

For this reason, not only does it take a long time to create the table frame, but the work is also troublesome.

(C) Object of the Invention The object of the present invention is to provide a simple table frame creation method that allows table frames to be created with very simple operations.

(14) The simple table frame creation method of the present invention creates a table frame in a document creation device fkl' which is equipped with one input and a display device and is capable of displaying ruled lines on the display device 6'. An instruction means for instructing, and after entering the table frame creation mode by the instruction means,
means for displaying a marker at an arbitrary position specified by a cursor movement key; and after displaying the marker, displaying on a part of the screen of the display device the number of items in the vertical direction of the table frame to be created and 1.73jiT; ! Means for displaying a designation column for specifying the number of winning lines, position data indicating the display position of the iIJ-1 car, and 1'+ according to the number of items and the number of lines.
11 Determine the ruled line code constituting the table frame, and display the ruled line name corresponding to the ruled line code on the display device M. In addition to displaying the marker, the number of items and the number of lines are entered numerically from the input device, and the table frame of the desired /vr is automatically created.

The text memory (3) stores, for each character position,
As shown in Figure 2, it has a 4-byte area, the lower 2 bytes store the character code CC, and the upper 1
Attribute beat information A is stored in the byte, and information indicating whether it is a character code or a ruled line code is stored in the first 4 bits of the tens place 2 byte 1.By the way, 83 line pattern As shown in FIG. 3(a), the pattern is made up of components in four directions: bottom, left, right, and left, and its pattern is determined by the presence or absence of each direction component. Therefore,
The text memo 'J(3)K, as shown in Figure 2, contains the following 4 bits of the upper 2nd byte of each key and the tractor position.
Ruled line direction component bin corresponding to the direction shown in Figure 3 (A))
For example, each ruled line direction component bin 71' (N, S, E
, W) is (0, 0, 1, 1>), only the left and right components exist ('C1) The ruled line pattern is shown in Figure 3 (
Corresponding to (b), 2, below, examples of (・1・ etc.) are shown in Figure 3 (c).
～← Shown in the month.

In this way, each one-bit ruled line direction component bit N, S,
4-bit ruled line direction code N5E consisting of E and W
W has a one-to-one correspondence with the ruled line pattern, and in the embodiment shown in FIG.
When the character position fi', /ν of the text memory (3) is written to the correspondence table (IQ+), the processing device y?4 (9) stores the correspondence table 00. ), convert that code to the ruled line code ((convert and write l) into the F position 2 bytes.

In FIG. 1, (11) and 021 are the term 1*1 number counter KC and row counter Gc, respectively, and 031 is the flag J='G, the details of which will be explained later.

Next, the operating procedure for creating a table frame and the accompanying state of both sides will be explained with reference to FIGS.

While creating statement f1, if you want to create a table frame, use the cursor movement keys to move to the left end of the first row of the table frame ((move, ,U,:
f Press the line key. Then, on the display ++tii side, as shown in FIG.

2: Thick line, 3: Double line, 4: Broken line, 5: Table)'' will be displayed, prompting you to specify the line type when drawing ruled lines or to create a table frame.Here, select the table frame. If you want to create one, use +C to specify the number 5.Then, the table frame "[Group Mode Doll]" appears in the 11th place of the carnol J on the table 7F screen, as shown in Figure 4 (B). A "+" marker is displayed, and both sides are lower yl+,! Tj! 'ni (engineering,
The message ``Phase item specification'' will be displayed.

Next, in order to input information regarding the column direction of the table frame, use the right cursor movement key to move cursor K to the vertical ruled line position of the table frame you want to create, and then press the line key. push. Then, 1-1- is placed at the cursor position 1ffl'.
The J marker will be displayed, and the same operation will be repeated to place all the vertical ruled lines as shown in Figure 4 (C).
Display the i-l-l marker and then press the execution key. When the execution key is pressed, as shown in FIG.
9A designation 4tWJ of ``number of items ΔΔ'' is displayed, prompting the user to enter the number of items in the table frame to be created and the number of lines per item 5, that is, prompting for information regarding the row direction of the table frame.

Here, the number of insertions is the number of horizontally divided items in the table frame in the vertical direction, and the number of lines for one item is the number of document lines that can be written in one item. Then, input the number and number of lines using the keyboard (1) and press the execution key.
As shown in Figure 4), a table frame corresponding to the input information is automatically created and displayed. Note that FIG. 4) is an example in which the number of items is "2" and the number of lines per item is "1".

By the way, in order to display the "+" marker at cursor position 14, the marker " This is done by writing the character code shown in the memory area of the address corresponding to the Kanle position of the Dext Memo (January 3).

Next, the specific processing contents of the processing device (9) will be explained in the fifth section.
This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when the numeric keypad is pressed to specify the creation of a table frame, the Y position of the cursor at the time of suppression, that is, the vertical ruled line corresponding to the X position of the cursor 1% 7 data points indicating position j:'',' are sequentially arranged in the array
The area of memory (6) (
6b) K memorize. Here, for example, "11", column position data is X in order by suppressing the line key. , X,, X2
If obtained, these data will be sequentially converted to XP (
01, XPm, 6c) and (6d) respectively. Then, when the execution key is pressed, a text memo is created based on the stored information.
) Ruled line direction code N S at each character position above
First, the EW is sequentially determined, and the ruled line code of each character position is determined from this ruled line direction code, and the table frame is automatically displayed.

That is, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6, when the execution key is pressed, first, the X pointer (7) and the X pointer (8) are filled with data Xo and YS is sent, and the item number counter KC, line count GC, and flag FG are initialized.

Then, the content X of the X pointer (7) is the array XP(rL)
Judgment of whether it is equal to the candy inside (Stesoge 5TI) and
By determining whether the content Y of the pointer (8) is equal to the bottom row of the table frame or the row position data YS or YF of the bottom row (step ST2 and step 5T3), the text memo 1 bar 3 is ), determine whether the content of the line counter GC is "0" (step S T 4 ), and determine the
7) The content X is the column data X at the left or right end of the table frame. Alternatively, the ruled line direction component bits E and W of the text memory (3) are determined by determining whether or not they are equal to X2 (step ST5 and step 5T6). The ruled line direction code N5EW thus obtained is converted into a ruled line code by referring to the correspondence table 00), and is written into the lower two bytes of the text memory (3). The above processing is similarly performed at all character positions related to the table frame of the text memory (3) by sequentially incrementing the contents X and Y of the X pointer (7) and the X pointer (8). In addition, the row position data YE of the bottom row is YS
It is calculated from G and l(.

Here, an example in which the ruled line direction code is determined will be explained according to the flowchart of FIG. 6.

For example, when the contents (X, Y) of X pointer (1) and X pointer (8) are (Xo, YS), Y
- Since it is MS, detailed direction component Pino) S is set (S=
t), N is reset (N=0). Also, immediately after the execution key is pressed, the line counter GC is incremented and Y-raised, and X=X, so the ruled line component bit E is sent (E21) and W is negated seven times. (W=O).

Therefore, in this case, the ruled line direction code N S E W is "
0110'', and the ruled line code corresponding to the ruled J pattern in FIG. 3(c) is (xo,
ys ), that is, the position relative to the left end of the bottom row of the table frame. It will be absorbed. Also, (x, y) is (X
o-1-1, YS), when GC=00, the ruled line direction components Pino) S and N are reset and E and W are set, so the ruled line direction code N5EW becomes [OO], IJ, and the third The ruled line code corresponding to the ruled line pattern in Figure (B) is inserted into the (Xo-1-1, YS) place (4) of the text memo (January 3).

By the way, FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram schematically drawing a table frame α on the text memory (3). After initialization by pressing the execution key, the contents For example, all the ruled line codes in the YS row indicated by broken lines have been determined, and X is the right edge of the table J,! 1" and becomes X2, Y is incremented and X is the X at the left end of the table. is set to At the same time, the line counter GC is also incremented, and the determination of the ruled line code for the Y S +11th line is then started. Here, in the example of FIG. 7, the input one-item line translation G is "1" and the number of items is [-2]. MS To”
When the determination of the ruled line code for the row is completed, Y and the line counter G (= are incremented, and X is set to Therefore, in order to move on to the processing of the second item, the line counter GC is reset again and the item number counter KC is incremented.Then, YS 4-2nd line and YS+
The third line code is determined. When the ruled line code on the YS+3rd line is completed, reset the line counter GC,
]In order to increment the progress counter KC,
The CO value is K and C1. I feel sick. However, in this state, since the ruled line code of the bottom row, YE, has not yet been determined, the flag I''G is set to 1, and the loop from step Si''1 to ST7 is performed for L16 lines. Then, in step 7, X is 'J1 (right group 1, 1 immediately I)
``, ``It's not right,'' and this 1-A case is flag I.''
G said, ``Since it's II, the process will be delayed.

As described above, all the ruled line codes constituting the table frame α to be created are cleaned up in L(,Text Memo January:)Eco. Therefore, the 6-ruled A code is converted into a wired pattern by referring to the non-memory (4).

By the way, in this embodiment, the cursor K is moved only to the right by 11.D, and then the cursor K is moved to the right. 1. Correspondence 1111 at line position 111'
“The data is obtained flat from the left, that is, from the smallest value to the smallest value. However, the input column 51 data is rearranged from the smallest value to 111+1 and stored in the array X P (rLl) of the memory (6). If you provide a sorting means to Bit N, S, E
, W, but it is not necessary to do so; for example, if the ruled line direction component pins) N, S, E, W are set to -1.
It is possible to carry out similar processing by simply using one register storing 1.5.

(F) Effect The simple table frame creation method in the document creation device of the present invention displays information in the column direction regarding the table frame by moving the cursor and displaying a marker at the vertical ruled line position of the table frame to be created. By inputting numerical values for the number of items in the table frame and the number of rows per item, we manually input the information in the row direction regarding the table frame, and automatically created the table frame based on this information. Therefore, table frames can be created with very simple operations, and the operability is extremely excellent. .
