Abstract

PURPOSE:To minimize key operation and to create a document speedily by storing a document which is used repeatedly in a memory when there is the document in document information, and storing modification information to be accessed together with the document information. CONSTITUTION:Signals from key groups K1-K8 are identified by a CPU and processing is performed corresponding to a pressed key. An internal dictionary is divided into a variable part, typical part, modification part, and fixed part, which are stored in a document body in a document dictionary ROM in control code except the fixed part together with the fixed part. Specific operation is performed with the key group and the ROM is retrieved on the basis of information stored in a register in a CRAM to select and input one desired document among plural synonyms to a RAM area. Thus, the desired document is inputted and then control codes showing the variable information part, typical part, and modification part are checked in the RAM, and processing is performed when there are the codes for respective parts. When control code detection processing is completed, the document creation is completed.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] branch The present invention relates to an electronic device that can process texts and the like.

Prior Art When creating documents using electronic devices such as English or Japanese word processors, documents that often use similar expressions may be created, and the expressions that are used repeatedly are stored in memory. Whenever necessary, sentences are read from memory and created, but it is not always easy to create sentences.

Purpose The purpose of the present invention is that when there is second text information that is repeatedly used within the first text information, the N42 that is repeatedly used is
The present invention provides an electronic device in which text information is stored in a memory, and modification information for calling the text information is stored together with the first text information.

,-,/,/ ,,,/ Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a Japanese word processor for electronic equipment according to the present invention.

Kl is used to input a document name in kana or numerical value using a kana document conversion key, and then retrieve document information corresponding to the document name from the first memory to the second memory.

K2 is a built-in document print key, which after inputting a document name in kana or numerical values, prints the document information corresponding to the document name.

K3 is a standard part automatic setting key that randomly selects one of the plurality of document information stored in the memory.

K4 is a standard section selection key, which is used to select a plurality of pieces of document information stored in the memory by operating the corresponding keys.

K5 is a group of kana keys for inputting kana.

K6 is a group of shift keys that allows multiple inputs with one key.

K7 is used to input numerical values using a group of numerical keys.

K8 is a print key.

The CPU is a central processing unit that performs logical judgments on the data of the entire device.

This processing section is a processing section AL that performs logical judgment and arithmetic processing.
It has a U.

The processing unit CPU further has a read-only memory, that is, a so-called ROM, and this memory stores the control procedure of the entire device and also stores various processing procedures, for example, 13th to 1st.
The procedure shown in FIG. 7 is also memorized. Furthermore, the processing unit CPU has a memory CRAM, which is used for temporary storage of various data.

Figure 2 shows the details of such a memory CRAM.
M has a register ADRN for storing memory addresses, a register N for storing key input, and a register RN for storing random number data.

The processing unit CPU also outputs control signals according to the control procedure in the memory ROM and via the control mcONT.

FIG. 3 shows a part of the control unit C0NT, and is a block diagram for reading out a document stored in the standard part ROMC, which will be described later. The random number information is sent to the decoder D by pressing 4 in the standard part selection key or 3 in the standard part automatic setting key.
C and generates an address signal. , G1. G2
is an AND gate, and G3 is an OR gate. The FF is a flip-flop, and the key is 3. The set is reset at 4.

Returning to FIG. 1, the ROM is a memory that stores document dictionaries and the like. As shown in FIG. 4, this memory ROM includes a document name table ROMN, document body ROMF, and variable 6 part R
It has OMV and standard part ROMC.

As shown in Figure 5, the document name table ROMN stores the document name and the address of the memory ROMF where the document is stored.
An example is shown for "ten" as shown in the figure.
The same memory address rADRIJ is attached to the document names ``Tenkiyo'' and ``Ido.'' This makes one document easier to access by giving it multiple document names.

The document body ROMF stores a document as shown in FIG. 6, for example. Taking the document shown in FIG. 96 as an example, the CI, Vl, V2. Portions such as V3°Ml and M2 are changing parts, and the other parts are fixed parts.

The document body ROMF stores the above-mentioned document, but the changing part, that is, the variable part, does not store itself, but the control code representing it. Therefore, it is stored as shown in FIG. 7, for example.

The variable part mentioned above is divided into two parts here, one is parts such as C1 and C2 shown in Fig. 8, and the fixed part ROM.
Those parts are stored in C. Figure 8 shows the standard part R.
This explains OMC. This memory stores a fixed form section which is an entity of a fixed form section stored in the document body using codes such as C1 and C2. As shown in Figure 5, the season for C1, lr green leaves has arrived. ” C2, lr, I hope you are all doing well and doing well. ' is memorized.

This is because it is inefficient in terms of saving storage capacity to store fixed parts that are not unique to the document but are used in multiple documents, such as seasonal greetings, etc., in each document body. Therefore, storage capacity can be saved by creating a storage structure in which a fixed form part common to a plurality of documents is coded (in this example, C1°C2) and written in the document body, and the entity can be retrieved from the code.

ROMI stores the same code as that stored in the document body, ROM2 stores a serial number, and ROM3 stores the actual document corresponding to the code.

As is clear, four types of entities are registered for code CI and three types of entities are registered for code C2. This is because by registering a plurality of interchangeable entities for the same code, the degree of freedom in document expression can be increased and unique documents can be created.

The rest of the variable parts are, for example, the date vl, v2 in Figure 9.
address, and the name of v3.

Information configured to be easily input by the operator to these variable parts is stored in the variable part ROMV shown in FIG. 4.

An embodiment of the variable portion ROMV is shown in FIG.

ROMI is an identification code, ROM2 is an attribute owned by each variable information, ROM3 is key mode information for automatically setting the key mode, and ROM4 is a modification section that can be added automatically by analogy with information input by the operator. This is a table of qualification relationships that expresses the relationship between

The variable part can be input freely by the operator, but its characteristics and attributes are often known in advance.0For example, the address in v2 is a compound word of a place name, and in 3, a person's name is input.

When it is known that the information input in advance will be categorized in this way, the attributes are written in ROM2 as shown in Figure 9, and the attributes are written in the general dictionary ROMD for kana-kanji conversion as shown in Figure 1θ. 1.2. By having attribute information like this, searching can be made easier.

For example, if "1234J Kaminagatani, Konan-ku, Yokohama City" is input for variable part v2 in Figure 7, this information can modify other parts of the same document, namely Ml and M2. Ml is the market value of the input variable part. Yes, the postal code may be added to M2 from the variable section using an address-postal code table such as the address ROMA shown in FIG.

Returning to FIG. 1, RAM is a memory, and as shown in FIG.
Area RAMI for storing shift information, Area RAM2 for storing document names, Area R for creating documents.
It has AM3, an area RAM4 for storing display information, and the like.

CG is a character generator that generates a pattern for displaying each character of document information as a code.

DISP is a display device, which is realized by liquid crystal, CRT, etc.

PRT is a printer, for example, a dot matrix type printer.

The operation of the embodiment constructed as described above will be explained with reference to FIGS. 13 to 16.

In the above-mentioned device, a signal from a key is identified by the central processing unit CPU, and the following processing is executed for the operated key.

First, an example of a built-in document will be explained in order to explain an embodiment according to the present invention. What is shown in FIG. 7 is an example of a "change of address notice."

The built-in document has a variable part (in this example, date Vl, address v2, name V3), a fixed form part (phrase C1°C2 in this example), and a modification M part (in this example, variable part v2 → modification part M1.Variable part v2 → modification part M2), fixed part (document-specific information), and the parts other than the fixed part are control codes (Vl, V2.V3.C1,
C2°Ml, M2) and is stored in the document main body ROMF together with the fixed part.

When 5 is operated on a group of kana keys, it is determined that the number 5 is on a group of kana keys, and this is stored in register N. After that,
When operation 1 is detected on the kana document conversion key, the information stored in register N is treated as a document name, the document name table ROMN is searched, and the corresponding start address (shown in Figure 5) is stored in register ADRN. Set. (Step 37) At this time, if only one document name is associated with one document body, it will not be possible to search for the corresponding document when a synonym is input. For example, in response to the above-mentioned "Notice of Relocation", "
If only "Tenkyo" is made to correspond, the document cannot be searched using synonyms such as "Hikkoshi" and "Tenkyo". In this respect, as shown in Figure 5, "ten", "ito", "tenkyo", "hikkoshi"
→ADRI (notification of change of address) "Osan", "Shussan", "Tanjiyou", "Hatsumago" →ADR2 (Notification of birth) If you prepare multiple document names for one document, you can use synonyms. It becomes possible to search for documents that correspond to the document master's ability, and the degree of freedom of the operator in converting kana documents is improved.

If the kana document conversion key Kl has been operated, in step S8, the process moves to step S9, and the desired document in the document body ROMF is placed in the area RAM3 of the memory RAM.

After inputting a desired document, it is sequentially checked whether a control code is included starting from the first part of the document in area RAM 3. (Step 511) First, it is checked in step 312 whether or not there is a control code v1 representing a variable information section, and if so, the process goes to step 313 to execute the overwriting process. For details, identify the code as shown in FIG.

The attributes of the data to be input are sent to the area RAM4 and displayed on the display device DISP to prompt data input, and the key mode shown in FIG. 9 is set in the memory RAM1. Such a set of modes facilitates key operation. When data is input, the attribute display is erased, and the input data is stored in a predetermined portion of the RAM 3 based on the address information ADRN, and the address ADRN is incremented. Then, the process returns to checking the control code in the RAM 5 again.

Control code CI representing a fixed form part in control code check,
When C2 is checked in step 317, the selection of the standard part is performed. At this time, if 3 is operated on the automatic standard setting key, one of the documents in C1 shown in FIG. 8 is selected based on the value of register RN, which stores numerical values randomly generated by the program. and insert it into RAM3. When 4 is operated on the standard section selection key, the message is transferred to RAM 4, and when 0 selection information is input that prompts the input of selection information, the message is erased, and after the selection information is displayed, the control code is pressed again. Return to check routine.

In the control code check routine, when a control code representing a modification part is checked in step 321, processing for detecting modification information is performed as shown in FIG.

For example, after the operator inputs v2, the ROM in FIG.
Referring to ``object°'' in the modification relation table of 4,
There are "Ml" and "°'M2'", and v2 is the modification part Ml and M2
Detects the modification of . Furthermore, it can be seen that the relationship is v2-market→Ml v2←address-zip code→M2.

In this way, input "■2 Market r Yokohama" into Ml,
M2 is r23 from the address-zip code table in Figure 11.
If 3J inputs, this document will be completed.

Then, the process returns to the control code check process in the RAM 5.

When the detection and processing of the control code is completed as described above, the document creation is completed.

Note that when 2 is operated on the built-in document print key in the check step of step 8, the process shown in FIG. 17 is performed.

When the document body is read from the ROM, it is checked whether or not there is a control code, and if it is not a control code, it is printed by the printer PRT via the character generator CG,
If it is a control code, for example C1, the standard part RO
Select the appropriate one from the MC and print it using the character generator CG.

When the control code for the variable part is, for example, ■l, and the control code for the modifying part is, for example, Ml, processing is performed to provide a predetermined space. When printing of the built-in document is finished, the process ends.

As explained above, the present invention relating to built-in documents enables speedy document creation operations with minimal key operations by the operator, and is undoubtedly extremely effective.

In addition, in this embodiment, the built-in documents are stored in the fixed storage device ROM for convenience.
However, it goes without saying that this can be done with any non-volatile memory as long as it is a non-volatile memory, and can be implemented even with volatile memory as long as it can back up the power supply.

Furthermore, although this example assumes a Japanese word processor, it is easy to imagine that it can be implemented in any device that is used for creating documents, regardless of the language, and that it will produce great effects. .
