Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a document creation device, and more particularly to a device for easily creating a table frame in the document creation device.

(b) Prior Art Conventionally, document creation devices do not have a mode for creating 5 table frames (for example, "Word Processor Japan 5WP-1000"), even though tables are often created in documents.
As shown in the "Operation Manual", operate the cursor movement keys and draw the ruled lines one by one.
Create a table frame, or create a table frame by specifying the start and end positions of the ruled lines 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.

(・→ Purpose of the Invention The object of the present invention is to provide a simple table frame creation device that can create a table frame with a very simple operation.

B) Structure of the Invention The structure of the table frame creating device of the present invention includes means for storing position data indicating the first row of the table to be created and a plurality of position data indicating the positions of vertical ruled lines, and ψ means for storing the number of items and the number of lines per item; means for determining a ruled line code at each character position constituting the table frame according to the position data, the number of items and the number of lines; and the ruled line code. It consists of a conversion means that converts the dot pattern into a dot pattern, and a display device that displays the dot pattern.By inputting the position data, the number of items, and the number of lines from the input device, it automatically displays a given table. It is designed to create a frame.

匝) Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a document creation device that implements an embodiment of the present invention, in which (1) shows a keyboard as an input device, (2) shows a CRT display device δ, (3) is a text memory that stores character information such as the sentence t (shi), (4) is a pattern memory that stores the dot pattern corresponding to the character code, and (5) is a video RAM for display. , (6) is a memory that stores various information, (
7) and (8) are an X pointer and an The character is converted into a corresponding dot pattern in the memory (4) and written into the video RAM+51, and the character is displayed on the screen of the CRT display device (2).

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 A is stored in the byte, and a '115 report indicating whether or not the character code is a ruled line code is stored in the first four bits of the second most significant byte.

By the way, a ruled line pattern is made up of components in four directions (up, down, left, right) as shown in Figure 3 (a), and the pattern is determined by the presence or absence of components in each direction, so it is stored in the text memory (3). As shown in Figure 2, the last 4 bits of the upper 2nd byte of each character position are
B) N, S,
For example, each ruled line direction component bit (N, S, E, W) is (0,0
, 1, 1), since there is only a horizontal component, the ruled line pattern corresponds to FIG. 3(b), and various examples are shown in FIG. 3(c) to rule below.

In this way, each one-bit ruled line direction component bit N, S,
The 4-bit ruled line direction code N5EW formed by 4'ki from E and W has a one-to-one correspondence with the ruled line pattern, and in the embodiment shown in FIG. Equipped with a code correspondence table (10),
When a T1 direction code is input to each character position of the text memo (January 3), the processing device (9) looks up the correspondence table (10) and converts the code into a ruled line code. Then, in the 2nd byte of the 1000th place:・-1 write-in addition, the 1st
In the figure, (11) and (12) indicate that the item number counter KC and the line counter GC1tl:31 are flags 1''Cx, the details of which will be explained later.

Next, the operating procedure for creating a table frame and the resulting screen shape will be explained with reference to FIGS.

If you wish to create a table frame while creating a text rule, first operate the cursor movement keys to move the cursor J( to the left end of the first row of the table frame to be created, and press the ruled line key.

Then, on the display screen, as shown in FIG.

2: Thick line, 3: Double line, 4: Broken line, 5: Front)" message will be displayed, and when drawing ruled lines, eA 4!, it.
If you want to create a table frame and want to create a table frame, specify the sound number 5 using the numeric keypad. Then, the table frame creation mode is entered, and as shown in Figure 1 (b), the digit (i;
A marker is displayed, and five messages titled "Horizontal item specification" are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

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 are trying to create, and press the ruled line key. , a ``+'' marker will be displayed at the kernel position, and hereafter, repeat the operation 4)) and place a ``-'' marker at all vertical ruled line positions as shown in Figure 4 (・→). After that, press the execution key. When the execution key is pressed, as shown in Figure 4 (・→), the bottom of the screen displays the following message: ``Item specification: 1 item number of lines ΔΔ 1 item number △/・″
and ℃・5 specified fence are displayed, prompting you to input the number of rows per 1+I+M and x:+)jg of the table frame you are trying to create.

In other words, the manual input of information regarding the row direction of the table frame is encouraged. Here, the number of items is the number of vertical items divided horizontally in the table frame, and the number of rows per item is the number of sentences that can be written in one item.
Enter the number of lines and the number of lines using the keyboard (1) numerically, and press the execution key. As shown in Figure 4 (2), a table corresponding to the input information will be displayed. A frame 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 the cursor position, press the numeric keypad to specify the table frame creation mode, and press the ruled line key 1υ after moving the cursor to display the marker r -4. -Character code indicating J,
Text memo January 3) Cursor position 1#? This is done by writing to the memory area at the address corresponding to :.

Next, the place flI! The specific processing contents of the device (9) will be explained with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 and 6.

First, when the numeric keypad is pressed to designate the creation of a table frame, line position data YS indicating the X position of the cursor at the time of the press, that is, the first row of the table frame, is stored in the area (6a) of the memo January 6). In addition, in accordance with the depression of the numeric keypad and the depression of the ruled line key when specifying a horizontal item, the column position data indicating the X position of the cursor, that is, the vertical ruled line position, is sequentially arranged in an array XP(n)Cn: integer)
memo (January)) is stored in the area (6b). Here, for example, by suppressing the ruled line key, the column position data is
. , X, , X2, these data are sequentially expressed as
It is stored in the memory (6) as XP(2). Further, the number of I JAtq lines G and the number of items inputted when specifying vertical items are stored in the areas (6C) and (6d) of the memory (6), respectively. Then, when the execution key is pressed, the ruled line direction code N5EW at each character position on the text memory (3) is first sequentially determined based on the stored information, and the ruled line at each character position is determined based on this ruled line direction code. When the code is determined and the table frame is automatically displayed, as shown in flowchart 1 of FIG. 6, when the execution key is pressed, the X pointer (7) and the , respectively, data X in the leftmost position 11↑ of the top row of the table frame. and YS are set, and the term U? 1 counter K
C, row counter QC, and flag FG are initialized. .

Then, the X pointer (determine whether the force content X is equal to the value in the array
and the content Y of the X pointer (8) is equal to the bottom row of the table frame or the appendix I11: data YS or YE of the bottom row (step ST2 and step S 'J')
3) By doing this, text memory (3)
J: Determine S and N, and check whether the content of the row counter CiC is "0" or not.
fj (step sT 4) and the X pointer (within '15').
. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not it is equal to X2 (step ST5
and step 5T6), the ruled line direction components Pino).E and W of the text memory (3) are determined. The ruled line direction code N5EW thus obtained is converted into a ruled line code by referring to the correspondence table (101), and is written into the lower two bytes of the text memo (January 3). The above processing is performed in the same way at all character positions related to the front frame of the X pointer (by sequentially incrementing the contents X and Y of the X pointer (8), text memo January 3). . In addition, the row position data YE of the bottom row is YS and G.
An example of how the ruled line direction code is determined will now be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6.

For example, the X pointer (force and the contents of the X pointer (8)
When x, y) are (XO, YS), Y==M
S, so the ruled line direction component bit S is set (S=1
), N is re-cented (N20). Also, immediately after the execution key is pressed, the line counter GC is initialized and X==Xo, so the ruled line direction component via) E is Seno]
・W is set (E=1) and W is set (W=O). Therefore, in this case, the rule +1 is the direction code N5EW is r-0
110J, and the ruled line code corresponding to the ruled line pattern in Figure 3 (・→ is (x,, ys) in Text Memo January 3).
digit 11' (i.e., digit 1 relative to the left edge of the bottom row of the table frame)
It will become obsolete in tY. Also, (X, Y) is (X
o-1-1, YS) (, i C-20, the ruled line direction component bits S and N are reset and E and W are inverted, so the ruled line direction j-t N S E W is l-0
011, J, Figure 3 IL Suno: 1 I F! 1. The ruled line code corresponding to A butter 7 is in text memory (3)
111 is inserted into the position (Xo+1, Y S ) of

By the way, Figure 7 shows the text message (3)-
This is an explanatory diagram schematically drawing a table frame α in I:, or after initialization with the execution key, the inside of the X pointer (7) is

All the gland codes are determined, and
When it becomes 2, Y is incremented and X is the X at the left end of the table.
. is set to At the same time, the row counter GC is also incremented, and from now on Y S +11th row, 1゛ Trout “
4. Enter the code decision. Here, in the example of FIG. 7, the input number G of rows for one item is "1", and the number I of rows G (is [2-1). Then, Y and line counter GC are incremented, and X is set to is reset again and the item number counter KC is incremented. Then, MS -
1-2 rows 1" and MS-1 to 3rd rows are determined. When the ruled line code on the YS+3rd line ends,
The KCO value is equal to K because the row counter GC is reset and the item number counter KC is incremented.

However, in this state, the ruled line code for the bottom row YE has not yet been determined, so the flag I"G is set to 1.
, execute the loop up to step STI or ST7, and in step 7, X is at the right end of the table, that is, X2 and 4.
In this case, since the flag 1"G is "1", the process ends. The ruled line code is inserted. Therefore, each ruled line code is stored in the pattern memory (4).
Convert it to a ruled line pattern with reference to the video RAM (
5i, the desired table frame will be changed to CI (, T display device (
By the way, in this embodiment, by moving the cursor (■) only in the right direction, the column position data of the vertical ruled line position is changed to 11■ from the left, that is, from the smallest value. However, I rearranged the input column position data in order from the smallest value to the array X P of the memo January 6).
(rL), the cursor K
The vertical ruled line position (1t) can be specified randomly.Also, all the character position 11 of the text memory (3) is specified by the vertical ruled line direction component viat N, S,
T': , 'Although we have created an area to store vV, it is safe to use 7.' (: <, for example, the ruled line direction component Pino) N , S , , 1; It is possible to perform similar processing by simply using two registers.

Fourth, in this embodiment, move the cursor K and select []-J
By displaying the marker, the vertical ruled line position fi/, the ones digit 1i9. ．． Although the data is inputted in the above example, other methods may be used, for example, numerical values may be entered manually.

V→ Effect The simple table frame creation device according to the present invention creates 1 to 3L table frames in the first row position +l'? You can create a table frame on your own by simply entering position data indicating the data and vertical ruled line positions, the number of items in the table frame, and the number of rows per item. There is no need to draw each ruled line one by one, making the operation very simple.
