In order to check whether there are any errors or omissions in the input data, a calibration device has been disclosed in which the data is printed on a recording paper, a calibration method monitor is placed on the recording paper, and the calibration position can be entered by touching the calibration point directly. ing.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in this conventional device, it is necessary to completely match each of the segments of the tablet in the X and Y directions with the line spacing of the monitor used for proofreading. As a result, the printers and tablets that can be used are limited.
The first problem was that general-purpose products could not be used and design changes were not easy.

(Means for solving the problem) Therefore, in the present invention, a recording paper (monitor) on which data is printed is placed on a coordinate input panel, and a predetermined point 2, for example, the text data printed on the recording paper, is placed on a coordinate input panel. Based on the coordinate data when the first character and the last character are Bentouched (including instructions by the cursor; the same applies hereinafter) and the data regarding the printing form such as the number of characters per line, etc., each of the characters on the recording paper specified by Bentouch is The above-mentioned problem is solved by using a method of specifying data from coordinate data related to the bent touch or the like.

(Function) That is, in the present invention, the print area on the recording paper at that time is revealed by touching the first character, the last character, etc., and the data regarding the print form such as the number of two characters per line are used to determine the area within the print area. The layout of data such as characters is determined, and the data specified by the Bentouch is identified from the coordinate data related to the Bentouch.

do. FIG. 1 shows a block configuration of a calibration device to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, 1 is a coordinate input board, and coordinate data Dx, Dy indicating a point indicated by an input bench 2 serving as an indicating means is shown.
Output. A printer 3 prints the supplied data Dp on recording paper and displays the supplied data Dd on a CRT display. Reference numeral 6 denotes a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as "cPU"), which consists of 2, for example, a Z8o, and executes a program stored in a read-only memory 7.

Random access memory 8 is used to perform predetermined data processing.

FIG. 2 shows the surface of the coordinate input board 1. In the figure, 12 is the function definition sheet, which includes the following functions: "Create monitor", "Input title", "Start calibration", "Input reference point" [Calibration point manual 1 "Insert", "Correction", "Delete" [Calibration character input card 1 "Calibration" 5. Various functions and titles necessary for proofreading work such as "Execution", 50 sounds for input, alphabet,
Keys such as numbers are defined. 13 is a character sheet in which kanji, hiragana, and other characters are arranged according to a predetermined rule, such as in the order of the 50 syllabaries.

FIG. 3 shows the KCRT display 50 screen 21. In this embodiment, a dividing vertical line 22 is displayed on the right side of the screen 21, an area 26 on the left side is a text display area, and an area 24 on the right side is displayed.
is the correction insertion character display area.

Note that all characters displayed or printed on the screen 21 and the monitor 11 are expressed with hyphens for convenience of drawing the two diagrams.

Next, the operation of the apparatus of this embodiment will be explained. First, a floppy disk (not shown) recorded with text data to be proofread.
is installed in the floppy disk drive 4, touch the function key "Create monitor" on the function definition sheet 12, and press the function key "Ril".
- Before inputting data, touch the function key to make it clear what data it is, but in the following explanation, we will only state what data is input in principle, and , and the explanation of the names of the keys will be omitted.

As described above, the coordinate input panel 1 supplies the coordinate data Dx, Dy related to the bent touch to the CPU 6 each time the bent touch is performed. When the CPU 6 is supplied with these coordinate data Dx and Dy, it determines which function key is being touched at that time from the area to which these data belong. This is because "Create a monitor" is instructed here.

The CPU 6 reads the text data from the floppy disk based on the title of the text data that is inputted continuously and supplies it to the printer 3, and the printer 3 prints out the text data on recording paper and prints out the text data on one page or over multiple pages. Create monitor 11. This monitor 11 is used for proofreading (or proofreading) as described above.

When the calibration is completed, place the first page of the calibrated monitor 11, on which the calibration position 1 has been written in red, on the bottom left of the coordinate input panel 1, for example, as shown in FIG.

Next, touch the function definition sheet 12,
Instruct “Start proofreading,” and also the title of the text data,
Input the page number "1" of the monitor 110.

The CPU 6 stores coordinate data Dx related to each bent touch.
, Dy, interpret the meaning, that is, the above instructions and input data, and read text data corresponding to the first page of the text with the title and this page (cl) line number data DC1 character data Dr r from the floppy disk and randomly Stored in a predetermined location on the access memory 8 and CR
Next, when the function key "Reference point input" on the function definition sheet 12 is touched, if there is a blank at the top printing position of the monitor 11 placed on the monitor 11, it is also treated as a character and touched in this space. .

For more accurate operation, these characters 31.3
Bentouch to each character 33 on the monitor 11 including 2 is 1
It is preferable to place it in the center of the letters.

When the CPU 6 is supplied with the coordinate data Dx and Dy related to the bent touch to the characters 31 and 32, it stores this in the random access memory 8 and also stores the data Dx and D.
Based on y, the line count data DC and the character spacing data Dr, the line spacing Pc and character spacing Pr of the monitor 11 at this time are calculated.

That is, the y coordinates of characters 31 and 32 at this time are Dy31. D
y32. Set the x coordinate to DX31. If it is DX32, what is the two-line spacing Pc? Pcm(Dy32-Dy3i)/(Da 1), and the letter spacing Pr is.

Pr=(Dx32-Dxro')/(Dr-i), respectively.

Next, after touching the "calibration point input" function key, the user sequentially performs operations such as touching the character on the calibration point indicated in red and touching the function key indicating the type of proofreading. For example, character 3
When correction or deletion of characters 3a to 33b is instructed, touch the corresponding characters 33a and 33b and then press the "insert" or "delete" key with a penta or chi.

Also, when insertion of a predetermined character is specified after the character 33c, touch the character 33c, then touch the ``Insert 1'' key, and so on.

Repeat the Bent-touch to the indicated location and the Bent-touch to the key that indicates the calibration content.

The CPU 6 receives the coordinate data Dxi supplied at this time.

When [o, o] is 1, for example, the coordinate data Dyd and Dxd of the character 33d in the 1st row and 1st column are as follows.

(Dy51+1/2PC)<Dyd<(Dy51+IP
c) (Dy5+1/2PC)<Dxd<(Dx5j+V

blink.

When the calibration point input is completed, remove the monitor 11 from the coordinate input panel 1, touch the function key "Calibration character input", then touch the character sheet 13, and then press the monitor 1.
1. Corrected characters (correct characters) or inserted characters written in red in red; Note that this operation is not performed for the deleted portion.

The CPU 6 receives the coordinate data Dx input at this time.

'Satoru is calculated, and this is compared with a code table to convert it into a character code representing the character, and the characters are stored in a random access memory 8 in pairs for every two proofreading points.

The correction insertion character display area 24 of the CRT display 5 displays the corrected characters in a different line for every two correction locations from top to bottom.

When the above operations are completed, check the calibration points (blinking points) displayed on the CRT5 and each character string to be corrected or inserted, and if there are any errors, touch the required function keys and data keys to correct them. Then, touch the function key "Calibration Execution".

In response to this input, the CPU 6 reads the data of the calibration location and the calibration content one set at a time, and stores the data when the instruction content is "correction J" or "insertion". Note that when the instruction content is "delete", the character string is not read out.

This is how you finish proofreading the entire page.

CPU 6 inverts the characters in the corrected part and prints C
It is displayed on the RT display 5. So check this,
If there is an error, touch the required function key and data key, perform calibration again, and then touch the function key [Next page].

In response to this bench touch, the CPU 6 writes the first page of proofread text data to a new recording position on the floppy disk, and then reads out the second page of text data two times before proofreading and displays it on the CRT display 5. Therefore, the same operations as for the first page are performed on this page to proofread its contents.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, there is no restriction on the print line spacing of the monitor and the character spacing, thereby reducing the cost of the device and increasing the degree of freedom in design. Especially if you do it like the example.

Only one coordinate input panel is required, and all you have to do is enter the calibration points and the characters for proofing all at once, so this also reduces costs and improves operability.In the example, the correction of characters was targeted. .

The present invention can also be applied to graphic data.
