Abstract

PURPOSE:To clarify recording by leaving the record of processing on a document. CONSTITUTION:When an operator moves a cursor to the top word [in this case KANJI (chinese character) 'KI' in 'KIOKU' (memory)] of a character string to be corrected and presses a correction specifying key, 'KI' turns out to be white and black inversion character. Next, when the operator moves the cursor to the latter character 'OKU' of the character string to be corrected and presses again the correction specifying key, 'OKU' also turns out to be the white and black inversion character, and the operation is waiting for the input of a new character string. When the operator inputs the new character string processing to press an execution key, he inputs a lateral line 16 under the 'KIOKU'on a display device 8, and corrected characters 'SHO-RI' (processing) 17 are displayed upward, whereby documentation data stored in a main memory part 2 is re-written.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, and more particularly to an information processing apparatus capable of storing and outputting a history of modifications, etc. related to a document during document processing.

Theft and Re-creation W Conventional computer systems, word processors, and other information processing apparatuses that handle documents can easily perform corrections and other processes. However, in such an information processing apparatus, the modified portion becomes the same as the surrounding document, and it is not possible to leave the modified state in the document even if it is necessary for a report or the like.

1. An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus that satisfies the above requirements in document processing.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. Controls the main storage unit 2 and external storage unit 3 that store information such as documents and data, the input control unit 4 that controls the input device 6 that inputs information, and the printing device 7 and display device M8 that output information. The output control units 5 each have an address bus 9 .
It is connected to the CPUI via a data bus 10.

FIG. 2 is an external view of a part of this embodiment. In the keyboard corresponding to the input device 6 in FIG. 1, keys 11, 12, and 13 are keys for specifying modification, addition, and deletion, respectively. To specify conventional simple corrections, etc., either prepare another key in a different location, or use the same 11.12.13 keys as the corrections of the present invention, and input them at the same time as the shift key. I'll do what I do.

FIG. 3 shows an example in which a document created in advance and recorded in the external storage device 3 is displayed on the display device 8 in this embodiment.

The operator selects the word "record" in the sentence displayed on the display device 8.
The following describes an example of an operation for modifying ``process'' to ``process''. (
(Figures 3 to 5) First, the operator uses the input device 6 to move the cursor 14 to the first word of the character string to be modified.
, and press the correction designation key 11. At this time,"
"Note" is in black and white inverted text.

A display of "Modification 2" appears on, for example, the bottom line of the display device. This is to distinguish it from the conventional modification, and in the case of the conventional modification, the display of "Modification 1j" appears.

Next, the cursor is moved to the last character F of the character string to be corrected, and the key 11 is pressed again. At this time, ``Roku'' also becomes black and white inverted characters like 15.

The device is now waiting for a new character string to be input. After the operator finishes inputting the new character string "process", the operator presses the execution key provided on the keyboard.

As a result of the above operations, the display device 8 will appear as shown in Fig. 5.9 In Fig. 5, 16 is a character to be corrected with a horizontal line inserted into the character "RECORD" to indicate that it is a character to be corrected, and 17 is In this state, the corrected characters "process" are displayed above the corrected characters "record". The above flow is as shown in Figure 6.

Note that while inputting a new character string, conventional corrections such as drop correction can be used for the character string being input.

Along with this, the document data files stored in the memory (main storage unit 2) are shown in (A) to (B) in Figure 7.
It is rewritten to the state of Here, from the correction start mark 18 in FIG. 7(B) to the intermediate identification mark 19 is 1 in FIG.
In addition, the intermediate identification mark 19 to the end mark 20 are displayed in the state 17 in FIG. 5. Each mark is recorded as one character.

At the same time, for example, the date and time of the modification, the name of the person who modified it (
Data such as the document password code (which may be a personal identification code), two lines of the corrected page, corrected character data, corrected J-character data, and the number of corrected characters are recorded in a special area of the memory or on a floppy disk. Of these, the date and time, the name of the person who made the correction, the document password code, etc. are entered immediately after the start of operation of the device (how to use these data will be described later).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of document correction.

First, the correction key 11 is pressed and the correction subroutine starts running (Sl). Check the current cursor position (S
2).゛If there is no character, return to waiting for key power (
S15) If it is text, reverse it in black and white (
S3). If the key input in step S4 is a cursor movement key (S5), the operation is performed (S6) and the process returns to step S4.

If it is a correction key (S7), the position of the cursor is checked (S9), and if it is not a character, the process returns to step S4, and if it is a single character, black and white is inverted (S10).

After that, when the corrected character is input (Sll) and the execution key is pressed (S12), a horizontal line is put on the corrected character (313) + the corrected character is displayed at the predetermined position = 4- and ( S14) The operation is ended and the process returns to the normal key-manpower waiting state (S16). In step S7, if it is not a correction key, a bell or the like is rung (S8), and the process returns to step S4 to wait for input.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for displaying characters read from a document file on the screen.

In step 817, characters are extracted from the file area, and in steps SL8 to S20, the extracted characters are examined and the respective processes are performed. When the correction start mark is detected in step S20, the subsequent characters are displayed with overlapping horizontal lines until the intermediate identification mark appears (521), and after the intermediate identification mark, the blank space above the line to be corrected is displayed until the end mark appears. A display is performed between the lines (828). After the end mark appears, the processes from step 317 onwards are repeated until the end of the file is detected in step S30.

Also, step S23. S27, and step 322
．． 326 is an addition in each file.

This is a routine that displays the deleted part. FIGS. 1O and 11 are examples of additions and deletions made to documents on a display device according to the present invention, respectively. In this case as well, in order to distinguish between the additions and deletions according to the present invention and the conventional m additions and deletions, "Addition 2" is displayed at a predetermined location on the display device 8, as in the above modification.

The text “Delete 2” appears. At this time, the document file becomes as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 (B), and their history is also recorded in the same manner as "Modification 2". FIGS. 14 and 15 are flowcharts of addition and deletion operations, respectively.

The distinction by letters such as "Modification 2" used here is just one example, and other means may be used as long as the distinction can be made.

In addition, in FIGS. 5, 10, and 11, when in the correction mode, CP LT 1 counts the number of characters to be processed, and as shown in 23 of FIG. It is also possible to display the number of characters deleted or added in the blank space on the right side of the line that has been deleted.

FIG. 17 shows an example in which the stored history of corrections, etc. is output as a list to the display device 8 or the printing device 7 in response to commands from the input device 6 or the like. When commanding the output of the modification history list, it is also possible to select the data to be output.

The embodiment described above has the section 7.12.1 in the document file.
As shown in Figure 3, data such as corrected characters and marks are added, but there is also another option: 1. For example, leave the original document as it is and collect data related to corrections etc. in another location such as memory. Another method is to record it. In this case, data such as the date and time of the above-mentioned modifications, etc. are also recorded in the same location, and are referred to when outputting the history list of the above-mentioned modifications, etc.

The following formats are available as display formats on display devices and printing devices when processing to leave a history of modifications, etc. is performed. (Engineer) Move the text below the corrected part one line at a time to create a blank line, and display the corrected text there. 121 Increase the line spacing of the sentences little by little in advance.

Display it there in smaller font than usual. In addition, on the display device, (31) the line spacing of sentences is opened little by little in advance, a symbol indicating that there has been a correction is displayed there, and when there is a special key human power, a display such as ■■ Change. These mainly concern corrections, additional indications.

To print a document that includes a history of revisions, etc., (1) check the revision layer list, store one line of the page containing revisions in another area of memory, and print the necessary line after the printing operation enters that line. Perform processing, ■ - Check whether there are any modifications in the document file line by line. ■After the printing operation begins at the location to be corrected, etc., the necessary processing is performed each time. In the case of method (2), it is also effective to add information indicating the presence or absence of modifications to the beginning of each line of the document file.

In addition, as document formats to be printed and output, ■ a document according to the present invention that includes a history of revisions, etc. (Fig. 18), ■
A document (FIG. 19) in which modifications made according to the present invention are considered in the same way as simple modifications made up to now.

There are three possible types: (1) the original document before the modifications and the like according to the present invention (FIG. 20); It is also possible to specify which of these documents to print using a keyboard or the like.

-8= There are several methods for selectively using the modification according to the present invention and the conventional simple modification.

In the explanation so far, conventional corrections, etc. can be used until the 5(1) document is completed, and only corrections, etc. according to the present invention can be used after completion. I have described the method called C? Conventional correction methods can be used until a document is completed, and after completion, either method can be used. 1) Can be used anytime, anywhere. etc. are possible. Note that "after completion" here is intended to mean after the creation of the document is completed and the document including data indicating that it is completed is registered on a floppy disk or the like.

Among these methods, more effective use can be expected if the following settings are made using the fake method.In other words, when creating a new document, processing using simple corrections can be performed in the same way as with conventional devices. .Document is not completed and external storage unit 3
After temporary registration in , the process of reading out from the external storage unit 3 to the main storage unit 2 and continuing creation is the same as new creation. Next, when the document is completed, the operator confirms that there are no errors in the content, and registers it, including the data indicating that it has been completed, as described above. For example, when entering a document name to register a document, add ``''*'' at the beginning or end of the document name.
This can be done by having them add symbols such as .

This way, when you process this document in the future.

Modifications and the like will be made according to the present invention. However, when it becomes necessary to carry out the conventional modification, the conventional modification can be carried out by inputting the document password code described above. by this.

A person who does not know the document PIN code can only use the correction method according to the present invention, and the document will not be changed without the creator's knowledge. You will be able to perform tasks easily and reliably.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, records of modifications, additions, deletions, etc. can be clearly displayed in a document, and their history can also be made clear.
