Abstract

PURPOSE:To save the time and labor for production of documents by storing sentences or vocabularies designated by a designating means together with the page data and writing the storage data to a memory by the designation for production of an index after the production is over with documents. CONSTITUTION:When the vocabularies supplied when a document is produced are registered to an index, an index register key is operated after input of data. Thus it is checked whether the same vocabularies are stored in an index memory 20 for KANA (Japanese syllabary) or the vocabularies of KANJI (Chinese character) data converted a KANA/KANJI converting circuit 13. When an index control circuit 16 decided the absence of the same vocabularies, the vocabularies and the page number are written to the memory 20. If the presence of the same vocabularies is decided, these vocabularies are written to the memory 20 together with the page number. These actions are repeated every operation of keys. When the production is through with documents and the index register key is operated, the vocabularies and the page numbers within the memory 20 are set alphabetically. Then the index is displayed on a screen and also written to a document memory 18. Thus a series of indexes are produced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a document table of contents index creation device for a word processor.

[Prior art and its problems]

With the spread of Japanese word processors and improved functionality,
Increasingly, documents such as manuals, instruction manuals, and the like are created using word processors. Tables of contents and indexes are indispensable in manuals, instruction manuals, etc., but conventionally the operator has to input them as part of the main text, making the operation very cumbersome. The items listed in the table of contents are the headings of each chapter of the text and their page numbers (11+), and the index is the words and phrases that appear in the text and their page numbers.

[Eye of invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and when creating a document using a word processor, by manually specifying the table of contents or expanded index, the corresponding sentences or omissions are automatically registered as the table of contents or index, and the document is It is an object of the present invention to provide a document table of contents index creation device that can automatically generate a document table of contents as a part of the index.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
As shown in the figure, 1 is a keyboard, which is equipped with a kana key, a numeric key, a function key, an index registration key, an index creation key, a table of contents registration key, and a table of contents creation key.
The key force is sent to CPt1 J 2. This CP
A display device (not shown) is connected to U 12, as well as a kana-kanji conversion circuit 13, a document control circuit 14, a table of contents control circuit 15, and an index control circuit 16.

A dictionary memory 17 for kana/kanji conversion is connected to the kana/kanji conversion circuit 13.

Further, the kana-kanji conversion circuit 13 has a document memory 18.
, a table of contents memory J9, and an index memory 20. Further, the document control circuit 14 stores the document memory 18 and the page number management register 21, and the table of contents control circuit 15 stores the table of contents memory 1.
9 and the page number management register 2, the index control circuit 16
is connected to the index memory 20 and the page number management register 2. This page number management register 2 is used to manage the number of pages of a created document, and its output data is sent to a document memory 18, a table of contents memory 19, and an index memory 20.

Further, an external storage device 22 is connected to the memory 18, and a data table of contents memory 19 and an index memory 20 are connected to each other.
The contents written in are sent to the sentence 1-memory 18 and stored therein. Further, an external storage device 22 is connected to this document memory 18, and data can be read from and written to and from the external storage device 22.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Key 1)? When the key 'f' on the - door 1 is operated, the content of the operated key is determined as shown in step A of FIG. 2, and processing is performed in accordance with the result of the determination. That is, if the kana key is operated, the process proceeds to step A2, and the kana key is stored in a buffer (not shown) in the i CpU 12, displayed on the display section, and the process returns to step A1. Similarly, each time the Kanaky is operated,
The kana input is stored in the buffer and displayed on the display section. Thereafter, when the key indicating the delimiter is operated at the single M or word delimiter point, if kana/kanji conversion is not required, the process advances from step AI to step A3, and the kana in the buffer is converted via the document control circuit 14. and write it into the document memory 18. Furthermore, if the kana-kanji conversion key is operated in the key & -do 11, the process advances from step A1 to step A4, and the kana-kanji conversion circuit 13 accesses the dictionary memo +117 to convert the kana in the buffer into kanji. , is displayed on the display section and 1 step, 7'A,
The document is written into the document memory 18 as shown in FIG. By repeating the above input processing, a document as shown in FIG. 3 (&) is created, for example.

However, when creating the above document, chapter headings, etc.
If you have entered text that should be registered in the table of contents, key date 1
1. Operate the table of contents registration key in step 1. For example, Figure 3 (-
), when registering the text r2.2.3 Computer Networks indicated by symbol A in the table of contents, operate the table of contents registration key after inputting the above table of contents text. When this table of contents registration key is operated, the table of contents control circuit 15 is activated from step AI to step AsK in FIG. Write in Table of Contents Memory No. 9. and,
After that, when you finish creating the body 1 document and operate the table of contents creation key or register the document in the external storage device 22, proceed from step A to Stella fA7,
The table of contents data stored in the table of contents memory 19 is converted into a document format by the table of contents control circuit 15 and additionally stored in the document memory 18.

Further, in step A, the contents of the table of contents, that is, the table of contents items and pages are displayed on the display section.

When creating a document, if the user wishes to register the input word in the index, the user operates the index registration key after inputting the data. When this index registration key is operated, the word index such as the kanji data converted by the kana or Hirokana/Kanji conversion circuit 13 in the buffer is written into the document memory 18, and at the same time, in step A9, the word index such as the kanji data or the like is written into the document memory 18. Kana is written into the index memory 20 under the control of the index control circuit 16. Also, at this time, the page number register 21 is stored in the index memory 2o.
The current number of pages held in is also written. In this case, if the corresponding word business exists in the index memory 20, the page number management register 2
Only the number of pages from Thereafter, if the same start of work as the start of work stored in the index memo IJ 2o is input during document creation, the number of pages from the page number management register 21 is sequentially additionally stored.

Then, when the creation of the main text 9 document is completed and the index creation key is operated or the document registration operation to the external storage device 22 is performed, the process proceeds from step A1 to AIO, and the index memory 2
The word works in 0 are arranged in alphabetical order, and then in step All, those with the same beginning are arranged by page number.

Next, the process proceeds to step A12, where the index self-answer is displayed on the display section, and at the same time, it is written into the document memory 18 at step AI3, and the process returns to step A. Further, when a key operation other than the above is performed, the program corresponding to the operation key is executed in the Stella 7'AI4.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

However, the circuit configuration is the same as the professional diagram in Figure 1,
Since the operation is different from the flowchart of FIG. 2 showing the operation of the first embodiment only in terms of index registration and index creation, the index processing will be explained. In addition,
In the flowchart of FIG. 4, the step symbols of the flowchart of FIG. 2 are used for steps other than index registration and index creation.

When creating the above-mentioned document, if the user wishes to register the input start of work in the index, the user operates the index registration key after inputting the data. When this index registration key is operated, it is checked in step B1 whether or not the starting word of the kana or kanji data converted by the kana-kanji conversion circuit 13 in the buffer is in the index memory 20. The index control circuit 16 determines the presence or absence of the same word work in step B, and if there is no same word work, the process proceeds to step Bs, where the word work and page number are written in the index memo 1+20.

On the other hand, if the same word business is in the index memory 20, step B
Proceed to step 4 and add the 4-ji number to the same-Kn-do and write it. Thereafter, each time the index registration key is operated, these nine operations are repeated.

When the document creation is completed and the index creation key is operated, the process proceeds to step B, where the words in the index memory 20 are arranged in alphabetical order along with the page numbers, and the index is displayed on the screen at step B6.

Further, the index is displayed on the screen and written in the document memory 18 in step B7, thereby creating a series of indexes.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when creating a document using a word processor, by simply manually specifying the table of contents or index, the corresponding text or language work can be automatically registered as the table of contents or index, thereby saving time and effort in document creation.
