Abstract

PURPOSE:To specify a card item at a page position relative to the current page in procedure registration by specifying a page change on the basis of the current page during computation control in card image processing. CONSTITUTION:When a computation key is pressed during card formation, a computation indication control part 60 sends a request to initialize page information to a relative page change control part 68, which clears the relative page information and set the page number being displayed at present as an initial page. The control part 60 updates the relative page information when a page change from a keyboard is read in a keyboard control part 9. Further, a page change control part 65 reads card data on an objective page out of a data storage device 25 in a record buffer 32 through an access control part 22 during the card generation, merges the data with the data in a format buffer 31, and displays the resulting data. The control part 60 when inputting information represented as an arithmetic symbol couples an objective field name with the images of the current relative page and displays the result as an item name of arithmetic.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to page switching control regarding card calculation items in a data processing device having a card image processing function.
For example, when registering a procedure that includes a calculation formula, it is related to a calculation control method using card page switching that allows you to specify a card item located at a relative page position from the current page and embed it as an operational term in the calculation formula. be.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in general office processing, it has been widely adopted to store information in the form of cards and use this information. It is desirable to be able to do this. However, when trying to manage card data using a regular Japanese word processor, etc., card format information, including ruled lines and fixed characters, and card data, which differs depending on each individual card, are stored in an integrated form without being distinguished. This not only results in wasted storage space, but also makes it impossible to perform various processing such as search processing and calculation processing regarding entry fields on the card. Therefore, the present inventors have developed a data processing device that manages common form data and individual card data separately and has card image processing functions such as document processing functions, table creation functions, calculation processing functions, and procedure registration functions. is proposed.

In the data processing device having the above-mentioned card image processing function, a format consisting of fixed information common to cards is first defined by creating a format image of the card on the screen using character keys, etc., and subsequent card creation In doing so, data in a predefined format image is called up, and variation data for each card is entered in fields defined by this format to create individual cards. Each card is managed so that one card corresponds to one page. Numerical calculations can be made for numerical fields specified in the form by providing calculation formulas while looking at the screen. Additionally, a series of processing procedures including calculation formulas can be registered and called up and executed at any time.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, it is desirable that the numerical calculation described above can be specified not only for fields within one card but also for fields spanning multiple cards. In that case, it is necessary to specify the page by some means.

However, in the past, it was possible to specify absolute page numbers and give calculation formulas, but page switching was specified based on the currently displayed page, and items on relative pages from the current page were specified. It was not possible to freely select it and easily embed it in a calculation formula to make it an operational term.

Therefore, especially when registering a calculation formula, the number of cards is generally not determined at the time of registration, so there is a problem in that it is not possible to freely specify, for example, a field one page before the last page.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention aims to solve the above problems, and allows users to freely switch pages when specifying and executing calculation formulas, specifying fields, and retrieving their contents. It is equipped with such means. That is, the calculation control method using card page switching according to the present invention includes a display, a format information storage unit that stores card format information including ruled lines or fixed characters, and a field definition information storage that stores definition information regarding entry fields of the card. and a card data storage section that stores the contents entered in the entry fields of each card, and displays the contents of the form information storage section and the card data storage section on the display screen in the field. It merges based on the contents of the definition information storage unit and generates and displays a card image in the form buffer in correspondence with the page, and also specifies the individual fields on the card image to give the processing mode and performs processing on the card contents. A calculation control method by switching card pages in a data processing device having a card image processing function that performs the processing, comprising an input means for inputting a calculation formula targeted for the entry field, and a calculation formula input by the input means. means for displaying and storing a predetermined page indicator indicating the page position of the card image relative to the current page in combination with a field name when inputting a calculation formula; means for controlling page switching to the page indicated by the page indicator based on the combination information of the page indicator and the field name when executing the above calculation formula, It is characterized by specifying page switching in calculation formulas. Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of the main parts of an embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrams for explaining the concept of a card image and a box related to the present invention, and FIGS. 4 and 5 are 6 is an overall schematic diagram of an embodiment to which the present invention is applied; FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of information stored in the field definition information storage unit; FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the correspondence between the format buffer and the screen code buffer, FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams for explaining the calculation processing mode by page switching in an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a processing overview of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the case of a data processing device having a card image processing function related to the present invention, a card image having a predetermined card format is displayed on a display and processing is executed. That is, for each card image, format data as shown in FIG. 2, for example, and field contents (card data) given corresponding to fields (items) on the format image, such as "product name", are separated. Remember it in
If necessary, both data are merged and displayed on the display. And it is considered to represent one card.

The fields on the card image include a character field and a numeric field. Then, on the form data, there is a "
...'' is given and indicates the insertion point of the numerical value corresponding to the numerical field [LJ LJ LJ r LJ LJ
LJ J is given.

For example, as shown in Figure 2, "product name", "quantity",
When fields such as "unit price" and "amount" are consecutive, specify only the first field group, and for the part of the field list with the same attribute, simply specify the repetition of the first field group. It's looking good. Such a repetition of a group of fields is called a "table", as opposed to an independent field that exists alone. Of course, procedures such as entering, editing, calculating, and searching data in fields included in a table can be performed in the same way as for independent fields, but for fields with common attributes in a table, Batch processing is now possible.

Since there are generally many cards that share the format data shown in Figure 2, the card images corresponding to these cards are grouped together into a "box" as shown in Figure 3.
Introduce and manage the concept of Reference numeral 1 represents a card image, and reference numeral 2 represents a box. In order to manage the boxes as one processing unit, the following information (or storage unit) is prepared corresponding to each box. That is, i) Box management information (storage unit): profile information such as box number and box name.

ii) Format data (storage unit): data corresponding to the card format (blank card) as shown in Figure 2.

iii) Field definition information (storage part)...
-Field start coordinates and attributes (number of digits, number of lines, etc.) for each field.

iv) Card data (storage unit): Contents of each field corresponding to each card image belonging to the same box, each associated with a page.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the manner in which processing is performed in this embodiment, and it may be considered that the display as shown in the figure is displayed on the display and the processing begins. The screen on the display can simultaneously display a card image in the first frame, a card image in the second frame, and an input image for inputting processing procedures and the like.

In the case shown in Figure 4, all or part 3 of the card image addressed to Mr. "Fujitsu Abe" on page 7, which belongs to the box "Membership Fee Invoice", is in the first frame, and belongs to the box "Membership Fee Deposit Slip". All or part 4 of the card image of Mr. "Fujitsu Abe" on the 7th page is displayed together in the 02th frame (sprint display).

Input image 5 is displayed, and the content of the second line of the "Claim amount" field, which is a field on the card image in the second frame, is placed in the first frame. It instructs you to post it to the ``Currently invoiced amount'' in the lido.

Note that, in contrast to the first and second display frames, the frame in which the human power image is displayed is referred to as a procedure frame.

FIG. 5 shows a mode in which the same process is performed for multiple fields on multiple cards. In this example, the process "Quantity x Unit Price - Amount" is applied from the 1st page to the 30th page of the card.
For the page, execute the product name from the 1st line to the 10th line,
It tells you to calculate the total for each. These processing procedures can be registered and stored, and can also be called up and executed at any time. In addition, searching, sorting, card verification, etc. are also possible.

As explained in connection with Figure 3, a box consists of a series of four card images with common format data, and includes at least format data, field definition information, and individual card data. . The format of each box is created according to the result of an operator entering characters, etc. on the screen of the display 43 using the kana-kanji conversion function in the data entry control unit 14. In the form creation management section 11, the form analysis section 12 determines definition information and field names for each field, and the box management section 20 stores the results in the form data storage section 27, field definition information storage section 28, etc.

The form data storage section 27 stores, for example, a form as shown in FIG. The field definition information storage section 28 has information 50 as shown in FIG. 7, for example. That is, the field includes an independent item 50A and a table item 50B, and the number of items and each item attribute are stored as independent items. Further, as table items, vertical attributes (number of rows, each Y coordinate) and horizontal attributes (number of items, each item attribute) are stored.

The above item attributes are, for example, record buffer address,
It consists of information such as the starting coordinates of the item within the card, the number of digits and lines, and the type of character field/numeric field.

The card creation management section 13 stores and manages the data entered in the format image determined by the format data and field definition information in the card data storage section 29. For example, when calling a box to display a card image, the contents of the form data storage section 27 are loaded into the form buffer 31, the contents of the field definition information storage section 28 are read out into the field definition information buffer 33, and then the contents are loaded into the record buffer 32. The read contents of the card data storage section 29 are merged on the form buffer 31 with the contents of the field definition information buffer 33, and this is transferred to the screen code buffer 41.

As explained in connection with FIG. 4, a plurality of display frames can be provided on the display screen to display parts of a plurality of card images. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the window control unit 40 cuts out the data 51.51' that is requested to be displayed from the plural format buffers 31.31' according to the contents of the window control table 52, and stores the data 51.51' in the screen code buffer. 41. Therefore, the window control table 52 holds information such as addresses and sizes of data 51 and the like in the format buffer 31 and the like.

Primarily, the present invention relates to the control of calculation specifications for cards displayed on a display screen in the manner described above.

FIGS. 9 and 10 show the designation of calculation formulas and the results of their execution in one embodiment of the present invention. In particular, FIG. 9 shows an example of specifying immediate execution of a calculation formula, and FIG. 10 shows an example of specifying execution of a calculation formula by procedure registration. In the figure,
Reference numeral 55 represents a card image displayed on the display screen.

In the case of the present invention, in order to express a calculation formula that spans different pages for card data, a page indicator is introduced that indicates the page position of the card in which the item to be processed exists in the calculation formula, and page switching and field name 7 is used for control during extraction. Examples of page indicators include the following:

"Next page", "Previous page", "Last page", "roo01 page", "r+0006 page", "r-0010 page", "Last page - 0003 page", "Additional page", "Current page"...The combination of this page indicator and field name becomes the calculation item name in the calculation formula, making the item name more clear when calculating between pages. .

In other words, while inputting a calculation formula, press the "previous page" key or "next page" key.
When you press a page switching key such as the key, the above page indicator is displayed on the title line, and by pressing the calculation instruction key, the item name that is a combination of the page indicator displayed at that time and the field name where the cursor is located is displayed. Displayed in the step frame. Note that if the page indicator is omitted, the item on the current page is the target.

For example, if each member of the card has a field for total sales and a field for growth rate for each period, and you want to calculate the growth rate of the current period's total sales relative to the previous period's total sales, Figure 9 (a)
Give the calculation formula as shown in . This calculation formula can be easily created as follows.

■ First, press the "calculate" key while the card image of the current page (page 0005) is displayed. This will display a procedure frame at the bottom of the screen in which you can specify the calculation formula.

■ After entering the character "(", move the cursor to the total sales field and press the "-" key.

■ Next, use the "previous page" key to display page 0004, move the cursor to the total sales column, enter the characters ")", and press the "÷" key.

■ While keeping the cursor on the total sales column, press the "%" key (
X (has the same meaning as 100-).

■ Next, use the ``Primary Page'' key to return the display to the current page, move the cursor to the growth rate field, and press the ``Execute'' key.

Through the above operations, calculation formulas as shown in Figure 9 (a) will be displayed one after another in the procedure frame, and with the execution instruction in (■), (1500-1000) ÷ IQOOX100 = 50
The following calculation is performed, and 50 (%) is substituted for the elongation rate of the current page 9, as shown in FIG. 9(b). The operation is not limited to the above operation, and the calculation formula may be directly entered in the procedure frame.

The same applies when specifying a calculation formula by registering a procedure.
FIG. 10(a) shows the registration procedure, and FIG. 10(b) shows an example of the execution result. The total sales from page 0001 to the current page is substituted for the cumulative sales of the current page. Then, "card repetition" is performed from page 0001 to the last page.

Note that, although the method of specifying calculation items is the same during procedure registration and non-procedure registration, page switching control when inputting a calculation formula is different. In calculations during non-procedural registration, the page is actually changed by pressing the page change key, and the page indicator in the calculation formula is the actual antilog number displayed in the upper right corner, or the next page/previous page from the current page.・Represented as the last page/additional page.

On the other hand, in the calculation formula when registering the procedure, the page indicators are relative pages from the current page (+XXXX page, -XXXXXX next page, last page.

additional pages, end page - XXXX page, etc.).

0 FIG. 1 shows the configuration of main parts for realizing the processing explained in FIGS. 9 and 10.

In the figure, the same symbols as in FIG. 6 correspond to those in FIG. 6, 60 is a calculation instruction control section, 61 is a calculation execution control section, 62 is a calculation procedure creation section, 63 is a field information retrieval control section, and 64 is a calculation instruction control section. A field name extraction control section, 65 a page switching control section, 66 a buffer section, 67 a field name buffer, and 68 a relative page switching control section.

When the "calculation" key is pressed during card creation, the calculation control section 19 is activated from the card creation management section 13, and the calculation control section 19 activates the calculation instruction control section 60 to input a calculation formula. The calculation instruction control unit 6o determines the operand from the page indicator and the field name, and displays it in the procedure frame as shown in FIG.
It displays an input image as shown in Figure (a) and instructs the calculation contents. When the page switching key is input while inputting a calculation formula, the relative page switching control section 68 processes a page relative to the current page.

The relative page switching control section 68 is activated by the calculation instruction control section 6.sub.1 and manages page information in the calculation formula. It notifies relative page information to the calculation instruction control unit 6o, reads new card data by activating the page switching control unit 65, and displays the line page number in the title line.

The calculation execution control unit 61 is activated when a calculation formula is input and the "execute" key is pressed, or when a calculation formula appears during the execution process of a registration procedure, and controls the execution of calculations based on the calculation formula. It is. In execution, the page switching control section 65 is controlled in accordance with the instructions by the page indicator, the card data stored in the data storage device 25 is read out to the record buffer 32 as necessary, and the card data stored in the data storage device 25 is read out to the record buffer 32, and the card data is read out according to instructions from the field information retrieval control section 63. The value of each operand is calculated based on the information about the field. Similarly, the calculation results are stored in designated fields by switching pages as necessary.

When a procedure registration instruction is received from the keyboard 8, the procedure registration control section 16 activates the calculation procedure creation section 262. The calculation procedure creation section 62 secures area g of the procedure storage section I7 in the buffer section 6G and creates a processing procedure. When the "calculation" key is pressed during procedure registration, the calculation instruction control unit 60 brings the calculation into a state where it can be registered. The calculation formula instructed by the calculation instruction control section 60 is stored in the procedure storage section 17 and registered in the data storage device 25 along with other procedures and the like. This registration procedure can be executed at any time by pressing the "work selection" key to instruct execution of the procedure. When a calculation formula appears during the execution of a procedure, it is executed by the calculation execution control unit 61.

FIG. 11 shows an outline of the processing of the embodiment shown in FIG. The calculation formula specification between different pages is mainly performed by the calculation instruction control section 60 and the relative page switching control section 6 related to screen control.
8 controls. For example, when the "calculate" key is pressed during card creation or procedure registration, the calculation instruction control unit 60
The relative page switching control unit 68 is requested to initialize page information. The relative page switching control unit 68 clears the relative page information,
3 Set the currently displayed page number as the initial page.

Next, the calculation instruction control section 60 requests the keyboard control section 9 to read data from the keyboard. If a key is available and it is a page switching key, control is passed to the relative page switching control section 68. The relative page switching control unit 68 updates the relative page information and requests the page switching control unit 65 to switch to a page determined by the initial page information and the relative page information. If a card is being created, the page switching control section 65 uses the call control section 22 to read the card data of the target page from the data storage device 25 onto the record buffer 32, merge it onto the form buffer 31, and display the data. If the procedure is being registered, the card data may not be prepared yet, so actual page switching is not performed. The relative page switching control unit 68 displays new relative page information in the title line of the display frame.

If the information read from the keyboard 8 is an item specification, that is, an operation symbol, etc., the calculation instruction control unit 60 calls the field name extraction control unit 64 to specify the target field name based on the cursor coordinates at that time. This is combined with the image of the current relative page and displayed as the item name of the calculation. If procedure registration is necessary, control is performed to transfer it to the procedure storage section 17.

As described above, since page switching control is performed by combining page indicators and field names, calculation formulas that span different pages can be easily specified.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, in calculation control in card image processing, it is possible to specify a calculation formula that specifies page switching based on the current page, and by registering a procedure, it is possible to specify a calculation formula that specifies page switching based on the current page. Since it is possible to specify the card item at the correct true position and embed it in the calculation formula, the degree of freedom in specifying the calculation formula is increased and the creation of the calculation formula is also facilitated.
