Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention is a text creation device that has a page boundary display function, especially a text creation device that inputs a kana character string and creates a sentence mixed with kanji. Includes an in-page line position count section that counts the number of lines being created, and displays page boundaries visually on the display device. Check page boundaries that occur in undesired positions at any time during input for text creation. This invention relates to a text creation device that can be modified.

In a text creation device that inputs a kana character string and automatically converts it into a kanji-mixed sentence within the device, page boundaries are not determined in advance, and pages may end up in undesired positions.

Especially when adopting a method in which the operator inputs kana character strings one after another and creates sentences with kanji mixed in one after another,
It is desirable to find and correct page changes at undesired positions each time.

This is because one of the major advantages of this method is that it eliminates subsequent modifications.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve this problem, and the text creation device of the present invention having a page boundary display function includes an input section for inputting a character string corresponding to the reading, and a display device. In a text creation device that converts the pronunciation input from the input section on the screen into the kanji corresponding to the pronunciation and sequentially creates a sentence mixed with kanji, information about the number of lines in a page of the sentence to be created is used. A line setting holding section that holds the line settings, an in-page line position counting section that counts the number of lines for each completed line of a sentence that is sequentially created, a line correspondence display holding section that displays the complete precepts status for one page, and the above page. A comparison section that compares the contents of the inner line position count section and the contents of the line setting holding section, and when the comparison section detects a match between the two contents, displays the above line correspondence in correspondence with a predetermined line corresponding to the line. The present invention is characterized in that a control section is provided for setting this in the section and visually displaying a page boundary at a position corresponding to the predetermined line on the screen of the display device.

This will be explained below with reference to the drawings. The figure shows an embodiment of the invention.

In the figure, 1 is a keyboard, 2 is a text creation device, 3 is an information storage unit, and 4 is an input character conversion/display control device that converts an input character string into, for example, a sentence mixed with kanji and displays it on a display device. , 5 is a display device, 6 is a display screen, 7 is a line completion detection unit, 8 is a plus 1 circuit, 9 is a register for counting the line position within the page, and 10 is a line setting holding register, which corresponds to the text being created. 11 is a comparison section; 12 is a line correspondence display holding section; 13.
13' represents displayed characters, and 14 represents page boundary display.

When, for example, a kana character string is sequentially input from the keyboard 1, the input character conversion/display control device extracts words from the kana character string and converts them into kanji to create a sentence mixed with kanji, as is well known.

The resulting converted sentence containing kanji is displayed on the display device 5.
are displayed as characters 13 on the display screen 6.

Also, the text determined as a result of conversion is stored in the storage unit 3.
will be accumulated in.

In the case of the present invention, prior to creating the text, for example, the operator presets in the line setting holding register 10 how many lines will fit on one page when creating the text.

While the text is being created in this state, the state of text creation in the control device 4 is monitored by the one-line completion detection unit 7.

When one line is completed, the contents of the in-page line position count register 9 are updated via the plus-one circuit 8.

When the contents of the line setting holding register 10 and the contents of the in-page line position count register 9 match, the comparison section 11 issues a match output and notifies the line correspondence display holding section 12 and the control device 4.

Then, the contents of register 9 are reset.

The row correspondence display holding section 12 is provided with, for example, a row correspondence flip-flop corresponding to each row of the display screen 6, and upon receiving the above notification, sets the flip-flop corresponding to the row as shown in rIJ.

As a result, a page boundary display 14 appears on the display screen 6 as shown in the figure.

The operator looks at the appearance state of this page boundary display 14 and the position of the sentence with a good break, and determines, as necessary, (1) if the number of breaks in the sentence is less than the position within the page;
Delete the sentence that starts on the page, that is, the sentence that should go on the next page, and insert a blank space. After deleting the existing sentence, add a sentence to fill the page, or delete or correct a part of the previously input sentence if the break in the book text extends beyond the page. Correction processing is performed to make the image fit exactly within the page.

In this case, for example, the input character conversion/display control device 4:
The contents of the line-corresponding display holding section 12 are fixed, and the displayed characters on the display screen 6 are deleted, added, or modified using an existing modification function.

At this time, the page boundary display 14 based on the contents of the line correspondence display holding unit 12 is visible, and correction processing is performed to match the display 14.

During the correction process, the in-page line position count register 9
In order to prevent the contents of the register 9 from being changed undesirably, the control device 4 issues a 1 fix instruction YO to fix the contents of the register 9.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to inform the operator of the page boundaries while the operator is inputting information, and to have the operator perform correction processing as necessary.

Then, as the operator creates a sentence mixed with kanji while inputting it, it becomes possible to eliminate the need for later correction processing in the sentence creation device.
