Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify a data structure and to improve the universality of the data structure for general purposes, by always developing and storing independently character atributes and character codes in the form of manuscript papers. CONSTITUTION:A character string and control code from an input section 2 are sent to a Kana (Japanese syllabary)-to-Kanji (Chinese character) converting device 8 where they are converted into a Kana-Kanji character string. Then locations to be stored from the point of composition layout are calculated by a document developing section 11 and separately stored in an attribute storing section 6 and character storing section 7 through a document storing section 5. Regarding the control code, the operation is decoded by a function decoding section 9 and the function is executed by a function developing section 10. When necessary, data are reworked by connecting the attribute and character through the document storing section 5. Then a new location of the composition is determined by the composition developing section 11 and the attribute and character are decomposed again and registered by the document storing section 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a Japanese text input device that inputs and stores Japanese text using a keyboard or the like.

(Prior art) When storing a sentence, Jukyo's Japanese text input device changes the character size (half-width, full-width, double-width), presence or absence of underlining, presence or absence of ruled lines, characters such as ruby, etc. IJ butte or right alignment, left alignment, center alignment, even distribution,
Function codes such as half-line breaks and character data were registered in the storage device as a data structure for Japanese text input devices.

Therefore, when using Japanese text from a Japanese text input device in another application, a converter is required to edit the data structure into the desired data structure rather than the data structure for the Japanese text input device. There was an inconvenience that there was a lack of sex.

(Purpose) In view of these problems, the present invention simplifies the data structure in a Japanese text input device by always expanding and storing character attributes and character codes independently on manuscript paper (squares). The purpose is to improve its versatility.

(Features of the Invention) The features of the present invention are that a) IJ buttes and character data of Japanese text data are developed and stored independently on manuscript paper (squares).

(Structure of the Invention) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a Japanese text input device of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 in the figure is a central processing unit that controls the entire system based on data input from an input unit 2 (keyboard). The character strings and control codes read into the input section 2 are sent to the kana-kanji conversion device M8 and converted into kana-kanji character strings.

The kana-kanji candidate selection unit 3 selects the candidate i, converts it into a document into the document development unit 11, calculates the position to be stored in the layout, and stores the attribute part and the character code separately in the document storage unit 5. ) and are stored separately in the attribute storage unit 6 and character storage unit 7.

Regarding the control code, the operation is decoded by the 1-function decoding unit 9, and the function is executed by the 1-function expansion unit 10. If necessary, the sentence is sent to the storage unit 5, and theatributes and characters are combined. The operation of extracting and processing the data, determining a new position of the text in the text development section 11, and disassembling and registering the attributes and characters in the document storage section 5 is repeated.

(Embodiment) FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the present invention. Here, the 0PU 51 performs overall control, data is input from the keyboard 52, and data is input by the kana-kanji conversion device 55. , Kana-Kanji conversion is performed.

Further, data and programs are stored in the microcassette 53, and the display section 4 is a section for displaying input data, etc., and may be a liquid crystal display.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG. First, when a key is input from the keyboard, it is determined whether it is a control code (<1>). Then, if it is a control code, the function of the control code is decoded (<6>), and the function is executed (<6>).
7>) and the process ends.

Also, if a character string instead of a control code is input in <1>, that character string is then converted to a kana-kanji character string (<2>), and one of several kana-kanji candidates is selected. (<5>).

After <3>, the position at which the converted character should be stored on the text layout is determined (<4>)
, Furthermore, the sentence 1 storage unit 5 stores the character string for each attribute separately in the attribute storage unit 6 and the character storage unit 7 at the storage location calculated in the process of <4> above (<5>).

Further, as a method for storing attributes, for example, a dedicated storage area may be provided for each type of attribute, such as character size, and the attributes may be stored there. Alternatively, similar types of attributes may be grouped together to use one dedicated storage area.

(effect) As explained above, the present invention has the following effects.

Because the data structure is simple, the structure of the editing functions is also simple, which simplifies the software.

Since the data structure is simple, no special data processing is required when using the data for other purposes.

If you don't need the attribute, copy the character file to its
1 box can be used for other purposes.

That is, it can be said that the present invention simplifies the data structure of the Japanese text input device, takes into consideration other purposes of use, and allows the data to be used easily.
