Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute smoothly processing of a system by constituting the titled device so that a message sentence can be set freely to match a person in charge. CONSTITUTION:A sentence generating device is constituted of an input device 1, a storage device 2, a menu message information storing device 3, an output sevice 4 and a control device 5. To this storage device 2, character and word information, numerical information, etc. are inputted from the input device 1, and also in addition to said information, message information for operating application software of said menu message information store device 3 is stored and edited. A result stored and edited by this storage device 2 is outputted from the output device 4. In this way, by changing a message itself, or by changing picture using information, or by changing position information, number registering information, etc., a person in charge can process freely message information, and can display a message adaptive to a job site.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical fields> The present invention relates to a text creation device.

<Prior Art> In text creation devices, normally, when application software is operated, the message text transmitted from the system to the operator is fixed from the beginning and cannot be modified.

Therefore, even if you carefully read the explanatory manual, it is often not clear because the message does not hit the target.

<Object of the Invention> In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a text creation device that can freely set the message text to match the actual person in charge.

<Embodiment> FIG. 2 shows a block configuration diagram of a text creation device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is an input device, 2 is a storage device, 3 is a menu message information storage device, 4 is an output device, and 5 is a control device.

The input device l is for inputting character/word information, numerical information data, etc. into the storage device 2.
saves and edits the input information as well as message information necessary for operating the application software in the menu message information storage device 3.

The results stored and edited in the storage device 2 are outputted from the output device 4.

The transmission and reception of signals between the above-mentioned components is controlled by the above-mentioned control device 5.

This Utility Message and 5ystein
Messages can be used as a common area if they do not operate in the same way. The method for storing message data is as follows.

The overall structure is shown in Figures 1 (a) and (b).

This message data is divided into an index section and a main section, and the index section stores various data as shown in FIG. That is, in the same figure, area A contains the total number of bytes used in the index section, area B contains the relative address value of how far the Pr ompt message is from the main part, and area C contains the Pr
The D area shows how many ompt messages are registered, the relative address value of how far the System message is from the main part, and the E area shows the relative address value of how far the System message is from the main part.
The number of stem messages registered is in the F area, the relative address value of how far the Utility message is from the main part, and the C area is the U.
How many t i l i ty messages are registered, the relative address value of how far the Error message is from the main part in the H area, and the Error message in the 1 area.
The number of or messages registered is entered.

More specifically, as shown in Figure 4,
K stores the message volume value for one item,
Correspondingly, L contains the message string, M contains the message end code, and N.

The relevant message usage screen information is stored in N', the final code of the record for one item is stored in 0, and the numerical value of the amount of messages for the next item is stored in P.

In addition to this, there is a screen information area, which stores all screen information to be displayed on the system, as shown in FIG. In other words, Figure Q shows the number of messages displayed on one screen (only standard messages are displayed, urgent messages are omitted) (how many pieces of message information in Figure 4 above are used). ) is input, and coordinate axis information indicating where on the screen S (the message text shown in FIG. 4 above) is to be output is input. S is for messages like System, Prompt, Uti 1ity, Er
It contains numerical information such as which group of ror it belongs to and what number of message text in that group. Hereinafter, R and S are repeated the number of times indicated by Q. T is a code representing the division of messages on one screen. Like UldQ, it contains message information for the next screen, but when FF (Hexa) is input, it indicates the end of the entire process.

The explanation will be based on actual data.

In order to configure a screen like that shown in FIG. 6, it is necessary to input the data shown in FIG. 7 in the tenth position of the screen information area shown in FIG. 5 above. "12" in FIG. 7 indicates that 12 messages are being used on the screen. Next r0212007
34 "02" is the second line.

"12" is! It indicates that the message shown below will be output on the screen starting from the second colon, and ro073j is 0073.
Change Page Forma in the number area of
This means that the message t is registered.

The message with the next ID ITEM is registered in the number area of 000'l. The example shown in FIG. 10 is the state in which the specific message shown in FIG. 6 is included. Data related to this can be changed by changing the message itself in Figure 10, by changing the screen usage information, or by changing the location information 1 number registration information in Figure 7 above. The person in charge can freely handle message information.

Here, a method for modifying, adding, or deleting a message text will be described. See Figures 8(,) to (c).

First, when the message correction mode is set, the 00th System message is automatically displayed as shown in FIG. 8 (,). Then, if you press the ffiη key, the beginning of other group messages will be displayed sequentially.

Message data is displayed one by one by pressing the cursor movement key. Therefore, if you want to modify [Change' Format (Page) j to rChangePage Format J as shown in FIG.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3(c), a message input area (indicated by mouth) is displayed below the current message, so a new message can be input there, and the replacement of the messages is completed by pressing the 7 key.

Also, if you want to add a new message area, use REST
If it is within the displayed XXXX Byte, then
New data can be input by moving the cursor to the corresponding non-input area using the ■key and pressing the 錡Ipunishi key in the same way as described above. If you want to change the screen usage information number, press the U key instead of the [key] and a data input area will be displayed in the field below the current screen usage information number. You can also delete the message by pressing the fl key or the I key. Of course, the system performs a correlation check and displays any errors each time.

To change the menu in Figure 6 to the menu in Figure 9,
From Fig. 10, change the text ``, , 1-;'' to the one shown in Fig. 11 to complete the menu sentence.

Similarly, by changing the message from English to German as shown in FIG. 12, the German menu shown in FIG. 13 can be easily created.

As an application of these, it is possible to have messages from several countries by preparing not just one type of message file but several types in advance and making it possible to automatically call up the corresponding message using a switch when the power is turned on or a parameter value of Ba5e Format information. You can also do that. The correction mode menu at that time will be via a menu as shown in FIG.

Incidentally, the correcting method is to switch to correction mode, operate a normal Roman word processor, and when the system displays the relevant menu, press the I key four times to move the cursor to the corresponding message, and press the As shown in the menu shown in FIG. 8(C), there is also a method of returning to the original corrected screen once the correction is completed. However, with this method, P
It is not possible to modify rompt messages and Error messages.

<Effects> As described above, according to the text creation device of the present invention, there is no need for the person in charge at the site to adapt the text of the message provided by the system, and the person in charge can freely change the message. Messages can be displayed according to the user's needs, and system processing can be performed smoothly.
