Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate a search for a necessary special character by making the special character into a block and controlling such that the block is displayed at first the next time when one character in said block is selected. CONSTITUTION:In order to search the candidate of the special character a mark key 12 is inputted through a key input part 1. A CPU 2 loads the contents of a top block pointer 51 to a display block pointer 52, and permits a display part 11 to display one block from a mark dictionary 3. If a desired character is not present, a conversion/next candidate key 13 is inputted to display the next block. When the desired character is present in said block, it is inputted through a selection key 14. A character code in the mark dictionary 3 at this time is stored in a document memory 7, and the block at the stored address is displayed next time.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention, when reading special characters such as symbols from a conversion dictionary and inputting them into a word processor, sets a plurality of special characters of the same type as one block and sequentially selects candidates for each block. a control means that performs control so that when one character among the desired display candidates is selected, the display block containing the currently selected character is displayed first in the next candidate display; Beg for what you have.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a conversion dictionary updating device that can efficiently select a series of connected special characters when inputting special characters such as symbols from a conversion dictionary in a word processor.

[Conventional technology]

In a word processor, when inputting a special character such as 〈1〉 or ∆, candidates are read out from the conversion dictionary that stores these symbol codes, and then type 1 on the display screen.
Displays 0 characters one by one.

When a desired candidate is found, the desired character is input by selecting the number of that character.

In this case, there is a strong possibility that a special character selected once will be selected again. Therefore, conventional word processors have a character-by-character learning function in which a selected special character is rearranged to the top of the candidate display from the next display.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Special characters are, for example, ■, ■, ■, ..., or 〉
, ≦, ≧, . . . , etc. When creating one document, the above special characters are often used consecutively as shown in the primary example.

Example ■ Our purpose ■ Our action ■ Our reflection When creating a document like the one above using a word processor, special characters such as ■, ■, ■,..., etc. Suppose that it is stored as a candidate near the th candidate. First, we display candidates 10 characters at a time,
Assume that the special character ■ is found and selected in the fifth candidate display. Next, suppose that after inputting a normal document from the keyboard, the user wants to input a special character such as ■. but.

In the conventional one-character learning type word processor, the first 10 characters that are displayed in the ninth candidate display are the special character ``■'' at the beginning.

The special character ``■'' remains as a later candidate. As a result, 9 are originally related ■, ■,
■Special characters such as , ... are displayed as candidates separated from each other, which increases the number of key operations needed to input special characters and makes it difficult to know where the special characters you need are located. There was a problem.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned problems of the present invention, the order relationship of special characters having a series of connections is not impaired.

In the next display of candidates after the - character is selected, a conversion dictionary updating device is provided that can collectively display a set of connected special characters including that character as the first candidates. The purpose is to provide.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a document storage means (7) that sequentially stores two document information in the input order, and displays the document information stored in an arbitrary storage area on the document storage means (7) on a screen. means (11) for converting special characters such as symbols into blocks for each type and storing them in advance as a conversion dictionary; and the special characters stored in the conversion dictionary means (3). Candidate selection display means (13) sequentially selects candidates in block units and displays them sequentially on the screen on the display means (11); Select a desired character from the special character candidates and display the indicator a (11
), the character selection means (14) is inserted into an arbitrary position of the document information displayed on the screen and stored in the document storage means (7), and the candidate selection display means (13) selects the special character candidates. In the case of displaying the candidates, the present invention includes a control means (2.5) for updating the block candidates including the characters selected by the character selection means (14) in the previous candidate display so that they are displayed first. The present invention provides a conversion dictionary updating device with features.

[For production]

In the above means, document information input from the keyboard is first stored in the document storage means (7) and displayed on the screen on the display means (11). Now, suppose that you want to input a certain special character following the displayed document. In this case, the candidate selection display means (13) causes the display means (11) to display special character candidates from the conversion dictionary means (3) in block units, for example, 10 uppercase letters.

If the first block does not contain the desired special character, the next block is displayed. As a result, when a desired special character is found, the character selection means (14) selects the special character and inserts it into a predetermined position in the displayed document indicated by a cursor or the like. Then, when inputting a special character for the first time, the control means (2, 5) controls the display order so that candidates for the block containing the special character selected in the previous candidate display are displayed first. Update. As a result, 1. For example, if the special character ■ was selected in the previous candidate display and you want to select the special character ■ next time, the block containing that candidate will be displayed first, so you can immediately select it. It can be performed. That is, the special character related to the special character selected in the previous candidate display appears in the first block of the second candidate display.

〔Example〕

Examples of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[Configuration of document creation device according to the present invention (Fig. 1)] First,
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a document creation device according to the present invention. No conversion key 11. Symbol key 12, conversion/next candidate key 13. The key manual section 1 including the number selection key 14 is C.
Connected to PU2.

The CPU 2 includes an input buffer 82, a document memory 7°, a CG pattern/program memory 4. Pointer register group 5 (
First block pointer 51. Display block pointer 52
．． and an intra-block pointer 53), a kanji dictionary 6. Symbol dictionary 3° display control section 9. and print control section 12
is connected.

The display control unit 9 is connected to the display unit 11 via the display driver lO.
is connected to the print control section 12, and a printing section 13 is connected to the print control section 12.

(Operation of Document Creation Device (Figures 1, 2, and 3)) In the embodiment with the above configuration, the human-powered document information input from the key human-powered unit 1 is temporarily processed via the CPU 2. The input is stored in buffer 8.

Thereafter, kana-kanji conversion is performed by the kanji dictionary 6 (these operations are performed by the non-conversion key 11 or the conversion/next candidate key 13 of the key manual section 1).

The document containing kana and kanji characters is converted into code and then stored in the nine-document memory 7. At the same time, the CG pattern memory 4 generates a dot pattern for each character from the contents of the 9-document memory 7, and the CPU 2. Display control section 9. and is displayed on the display unit 11 via the display driver 10. Further, if necessary, the information is printed by the printing unit 13 via the printing control unit 12.

Next, regarding the special character input operation related to the present invention, the second
The explanation will be given using the operation flowchart shown in the figure and the explanatory diagram of the pointer operation shown in FIG.

First, in order to search for special character candidates, the symbol key 12 is input from the key input section 1 (Fig. 2).

The CPU 2 first loads the contents of the first block pointer 51 into the display block pointer 52 (Fig. 2). As a result, the CPU 2 loads one block from the address on the symbol dictionary 3 indicated by the display block pointer 52 (Fig. 3). Display range 1) 9 For example, display 10 special characters on the display section 11.
If the desired character is not found among the displayed candidates, the convert/next candidate key 13 is inputted from the 9th key input section 1 (FIG. 2). As a result, C
The PU 2 updates the value of the display block pointer 52 by +10 and displays the special characters of the primary block (display range 2 in Figure 3) on the display unit 11 from the symbol dictionary 3 (Figure 2 ■). , the desired character 1, for example 2@, is displayed among the display candidates.
If ≧ or γ (see display section 11 in FIG. 1), the second selection key 14 is input from the key input section 1 (■ in FIG. 2). As a result, the CPU 2 sets the value of the intra-block pointer 53 at number 2 (Fig. 2). display range 2
2) code is stored in a predetermined address on the document memory 7 (address corresponding to the cursor position on the display document on the display section 11) and displayed on the display document on the display section 11 (see FIG. ■). After that, the CPU 2 loads the value of the display block pointer 52 into the first block pointer 51 (FIG. 2), and then ends the input processing of the special character (FIG. 2 @l).

Next, after inputting normal document information from this state using the key input section 1, if you want to input special characters again, input a new symbol key 12 from the key input section 1 (Fig. 2 ■)
. As a result, the CPU 2 loads the contents of the first block pointer 51 into the display block pointer 52.
), one block of special characters in the symbol dictionary 3 indicated by the address is displayed on the display unit 11. At this time, the value of the first block pointer 51 is the previously selected special character ≧
Since this is the first address of the block containing
Display range 2 of the diagram is displayed first.

At this time, the desired special character is often a character 1 related to the previous special character ≧, such as ≦.

It becomes easier to find related special characters relatively quickly. As described above, according to this embodiment, related special characters are always displayed as a set in blocks.

Moreover, since the block containing the previously used special character is displayed as the first candidate next time, it becomes possible to easily find the related special character with a few key operations. In addition,
The above operations are performed under the control of the CPU 2 according to a program stored in the program memory 4.

In the above embodiment, the number of data in each block is equal, for example 10, but the number of data in each block may be different. In that case, the number of data for each block may be stored, and each number of data may be displayed when one display is performed, and the address of each block may be updated by the number of data.

Further, in the above embodiment, the content of the first block pointer is updated, but the symbol data string may be rearranged for each block and stored in the memory so that one selected block will be at the beginning next time.

In that case, candidates are displayed in the order of the blocks that appear.

〔effect〕

According to the present invention, the set of special characters of the same kind is not spoiled by the candidate display, so it is easy to search for the necessary character, and when related characters are used consecutively, key operations are easy. It has this effect.
