Abstract

PURPOSE:To make information generated in a word processor available at an external information processing device, by holding control data and attribute data as internal data in case of input of attribute information and suppressing addition of these data in case of printing-out. CONSTITUTION:When attributes of input characters are inputted from an attribute input part 6, control data indicating addition of attribute data and attribute data are added to internal data by an attribute information generating part. When these data are outputted to a printer 11, they are eliminated by a print control part 10. Character data to which attributes are added are displayed on a display device 4 by an attribute display part 8 on demand and are recognized. When character data are stored in a magnetic disc file 12, internal data including control data indicating addition of attribute data and attribute data is transferred as it is.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the structure of internal data in a word processor and its control.

(2) Prior art and problems Traditionally, internally stored data generated by a word processor consists only of a data string of character codes to be printed out and formatting information such as line breaks and page breaks for controlling print output. Ta.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of internally stored data in a conventional word processor, in which 1 to 3 are data sections, 1 is text name data attached to the beginning of registered text data, and 2 is text name data attached to the beginning of registered text data. Character code data 3 is printed out as the main function of the word processor, and 3 represents the respective positions of data (line feed, page break, etc.) for format control during printout.

In conventional word processors having such an internally stored data structure, information created using the word processor (for example, specifications, tables, etc.) cannot be handled by information processing devices other than the word processor. Therefore, even if you use another information processing device to process exactly the same take that was processed in a word processor, you will have to re-input it into that information processing device, which will result in large losses due to duplication of effort, as well as input errors. There were drawbacks such as the possibility of occurrence of

(3) Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, it is an object of the present invention to provide a system in which information created by a word processor can be used by an external information processing device.

(4) Structure of the Invention According to the present invention, the object is to provide a means for inputting attribute information of human-powered characters in a word processor, and characters to which an attribute take of internal data is attached, in a word processor. A control take indicating that attribute data is added to the take and a means for generating and adding attribute data are provided, and when attribute information related to the character data is input when inputting character data, the character take is added. Also, control data and attribute takes indicating that attribute takes are attached to the character data are held as internal data, and on the other hand, control data and attribute takes indicating that these attribute takes are attached when printing out. This is achieved by a character data attribute input method characterized by suppressing the output of .

(5) Embodiment of the invention FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the invention,

o represents a print control unit, l represents a printer, and 2 represents a magnetic disk file.

In FIG. 2, when inputting characters from the keyboard 5,
When the attributes of the input statement are input by operating the attribute input unit 6, the attribute information generation unit generates [control take and attribute data indicating that an attribute take is assigned].
is added to the internal data by +1'7JD. When these data are output to the printer 11, the print control unit], O
``The control data and attribute take indicating that attribute data is assigned'' are deleted. The character data to which an attribute has been attached can be recognized by the operator by changing the brightness of the character displayed on the display device 4 using the attribute display section 8 as necessary. When character data is stored in the magnetic disk file 12, it is accompanied by "control data and attribute data indicating that attribute data is assigned"! The internal data of t and man are transferred.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of the internal data of the word processor according to the present invention, in which 13 to 18 indicate data sections, 13 is sentence name data attached to the beginning of registered sentence data, and 14 is sentence name data. Character code data, (printed data) 15 is data that performs format control during print output such as page breaks and line breaks, 16 is control data indicating that attribute data is added, 17 is attribute data, 18 is Indicates the position of character data to which attributes are attached.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a take to which the present invention is applied (aJ
is an example of word processor internal data (bl is fIJNIc of the print output of the take shown in (a+)) is an example of data created as an internal take of another information processing device by extracting the necessary information from the data shown in (&) ing.

In FIG. 4, 13.14.16-18 are the same as in FIG. Control take 4-3, which indicates that attribute data of section 16 has been assigned, represents 4 characters of attribute data and 3 characters of attributed data.

(6) Effects of the Invention As explained in detail above, according to the method of the present invention, data in sentences created with a word processor can be directly used in other information processing devices, so errors caused by re-input can be avoided. This is extremely effective since it never occurs and the loss of operation required for input can be greatly reduced.
