Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a document creation method.

When creating a document using a word processor or the like, it is often the case that a template sentence is first registered as a template sentence, and data is written in the variable parts (for example, date, address, name). In such cases, the operator searches for the location where data should be input and moves the cursor to that location to perform the input operation, but this method has the following operational problems. [11 Menjuku searches for input points. '2} Moving the cursor is the trick.

'31 I sometimes forget where I entered. In addition, a system for guiding input currently exists as a form creation function of office computers, etc., but in this case, the length of data that can be input is fixed, and this technology cannot be used as is for document creation. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a document creation method that accurately and quickly performs document creation work by operating on a template sentence and inserting data into its variable parts. shall be.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the internal configuration of a word processor to which the present invention is applied. In terms of hardware, the word processor is composed of a word processor body 5 consisting of a kana keyboard 1, a CRT display 2, an external memory 3, a kanji printer 4, a main memory, and a CPU. The keys on the kana keyboard 1 are JIS
It forms an array of

Alphanumeric characters, special symbols, and kana characters can be entered using the shift key. The CRT display 2 is used for displaying kanji characters provided for interaction between the operator and the system, and the kanji printer 4 is used for hard copying, and display patterns or print patterns exist on an external memory 3, which will be described later. It has two magnetic disk memo IJ as external memory 3,
One is a program and a dictionary (Total heading 47 of Iwanami Japanese Dictionary)
1,800 relatively frequently used words are registered from the 00th section of Tang, and each word is sorted in reading order and stored on a magnetic disk), and the other one stores kanji patterns and conversion results. Used for storage and work. Note that, particularly in relation to the present invention, a template sentence is registered on the external memory 3 and activated (loaded) into the main body 5 when necessary. Under the management program, the main body 5 has an input section and a bunsetsu extraction section that are combined into one module, and a kana-kanji conversion section and a proofreading section that each form one module, making a total of three modules. overlaid on top. One role of the management program is to reside in main memory and perform overlay management of each of these modules. Another role of the management program is to display various messages when the system starts operating, to define the system's operation and configuration, and to automatically update the dictionary when the operation ends. The above-mentioned calibration function will be briefly explained as a part particularly related to the present invention.

There are the following tools for editing and configuring a created document, such as inserting new characters in the middle of the document or replacing it with another sentence. That is, there are functions such as replacing a part of a sentence with a new character string at a specified position in a Hitokuni sentence, and inserting a character string into a part of a exposed sentence. All of the above functions are handled by software within the main body. That is, there is a system area within the main body 5, and this system area contains the above-mentioned kana-kanji conversion program and editing program in addition to a simple system management (residing in the main memory and performing overlay management) and input/output management programs. is overlaid when necessary and the desired processing is performed. In addition, PRL76-4 published by the Institute of Electronics and Communication Engineers on November 15, 1976 provides detailed information on kana-kanji conversion.

FIG. 2 shows in chronological order the contents displayed on a CRT screen by implementing the present invention.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

The creation of fixed phrases can be roughly divided into two phases: registration of template sentences and input of variable data. Each of the above phases will be explained using the case of real estate registration as an example. first,
Text is created by inputting character data into the fixed parts of the template sentence and special symbols into the variable parts.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the "*" mark is input as a special symbol. Also, enter the final part of a sentence. However, this gutter box mark is not displayed. Then, a unique name (identification name) is given to the template sentence created here, and the external memory 3
Transfer to. Figure 3 shows its internal data structure. In the embodiment of the present invention, this is given an identification name as "Ten". Next, the template sentence prepared in advance using the above-mentioned recognition name is called and loaded onto the main memory of the main body 5.

Then, search for character data string from the beginning of the template sentence,
Detect the first special symbol. Furthermore, the special symbol portion is inverted in black and white to set the correction mode. Then, the special symbol is deleted from the character data string, and variable data is inserted in the position where the special symbol was included. When the end code of the variable data is detected, the search for the next special symbol is started, and when a special symbol is detected, the part is inverted in black and white as described above and the correction mode is set.
If a return is detected, a message ``Variable data input complete'' is displayed in the message area. Thereafter, the above-described variable data insertion and special code search operations are repeated. Above operations as well as Wordp. The processing inside the processor is shown as a flowchart in FIG. As explained above, according to the present invention, there is no need to detect the input point of variable data, and since it is only necessary to input the document at all times, there is no need to press a function key such as a correction key. Creation work can be done quickly. In addition, since input errors are eliminated and variable data insertion positions are visible, confirmation becomes easier, and document creation using template sentences becomes more accurate. In addition, it is possible to input not only the bare text of item data like the real estate registration mentioned above, but also the solid text of an indictment (a template example of an indictment) as shown in Figure 5. Become.
