Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability and correctness at the time of editing a document in terms of edition processing for every page by displaying graphically the page of a document on a display screen and carrying out the edition processing with respect to the graphically displayed page. CONSTITUTION:A control part 2 displays a graphic page 7 and an editing com mand 8 with respect to the page on a display part 4 through a display control part 3. When a page in the position where a cursor 1 lines at present is selective ly inputted from an input part 1, and the control part 2 receives a page selection signal from the input part 1 and stores a selected page number 2 in a memory part 5. When an input is so executed from the input part 1 to move a cursor 10 to the page of the moving destination, the display control part 3 shifts the cursor 10 on the display part 4 to the specified position based on the signal from the control part 2, which receives the page selection signal from the input part 1 and stores a selected page number 4 in the memory part 5. The control part 2 displays a displayed picture on the display part 4 through the display control part 3 from the page numbers 2 and 4 stored in the memory part 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document editing device that allows documents input in advance to be edited with simple operations.

Structures of conventional examples and their problems In recent years, document editing devices have been used to create desired documents by inputting images of characters and figures, and to create desired documents by changing previously inputted documents. In addition to processing, page-by-page editing, such as copying, deleting, adding, and moving pages of a created document consisting of a plurality of pages, is required.

Conventionally, in such page-by-page editing processing, for example, a method for moving a page is to first display a page to be moved on a display screen and input a move command.

When a movement command is input, input instructions for which page to move to before or after are displayed on the display screen, and the operator can move the page by inputting the page number of the movement destination. It is being

However, with the above editing method, there is no way to visually confirm whether or not the page has actually been edited correctly, and this has the problem of poor operability and reliability during editing. .

Purpose of the Invention The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.In the page-by-page editing process, pages of a document are displayed pictorially on a display screen, and the pages displayed pictorially are edited. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document editing device that improves operability and reliability during editing by performing processing.

Structure of the Invention The present invention provides a document editing method that includes means for pictorially displaying pages of a document on a display screen, and means for performing editing processing on the pictorially displayed pages in page-by-page editing processing. It is a device that improves operability and improves operability by editing pages graphically displayed on the display screen.
It is possible to perform highly reliable editing processing.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a document editing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. ) is the display screen after the second page is moved before the fourth page by the page move operation.

In Figure 1, 1 is a display screen, 2 is an input section such as a keyboard, mouse, etc., which is used to select graphically displayed pages and editing commands, and instruct the movement of a cursor, and 2 is an input section that analyzes selection information from input section 1. 3, a display control section that changes the display screen and moves the cursor based on signals from the control section 2; is display control section 3
a display unit that displays screen signals or cursor signals from 5;
is a storage unit that stores selected page numbers and document data. In FIG. 2, 6 is a display screen, 7 is a pictorially displayed page, 8 is an editing command for the page, and 9 is a graphically displayed page.
is the page number, and 10 is the cursor.

The operation of the document editing device of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained below using the flowchart 1 in FIG. 3, taking a page moving operation as an example.0 ■: FIG. 2 ('a) As shown in FIG. 2, the control section 2 displays a pictorial page 7 and an editing command 8 for the page on the display section 4 via the display control section 3 as an initial screen.

@: When an input is made from the input section 1 to move the cursor 10 onto the page to be edited, the control section 2 receives the cursor movement signal from the input section 1 and moves the cursor 10 on the display section 4.
A movement signal is sent to the display control section 3 to move the cursor 10 on the display section 4 based on the signal from the control section 2. Now, suppose that the cursor 10 is moved onto the second page by the cursor movement operation described above.

θ: When a selection input is made from the input section 1 to the page at the current position of the cursor 1o, the control section 2 receives the page selection signal from the input section 1, and stores the selected page number (2) in the storage section 6. Store in.

■=When an input is made from the input section 1 to move the cursor 10 onto the desired editing command (movement) in the editing commands 8, the control section 2 receives and receives the cursor movement signal from the input section 1, and the display section 4 A movement signal is sent to the display control section 3 to move the upper cursor 9, and the display control section 3 moves the cursor 10 on the display section 4 to a specified position based on the signal from the control section 2.

When a selection input of an editing command at the current position of the cursor 1o is made from the two-person blade section 1, the control section 2 receives an editing command selection signal from the input section 1.

O: When an input is made from the input section 1 to move the cursor 1o onto the destination page, the control section 2 receives and receives the cursor movement signal from the input section 1, and moves the cursor 1o on the display section 4''.
A movement signal is sent to the display control unit 3 to move the cursor, and the display control unit 3 moves the cursor 1° on the display unit 4 to a designated position based on the signal from the control unit 2. Now, assume that the cursor 1o is moved to the top of the fourth page by the cursor movement operation described above. Next, when a selection input is made from the input section 1 to select the page at the current position of the cursor 1o, the control section 2 receives the page selection signal from the input section 1 and stores the selected page number (4) in the storage section. 6.

[F]: The control unit 2 uses the page number (2) stored in the storage unit 5 in process O and the page number (4) stored in the storage unit 5 in process G, as shown in FIG. 2(b). A display screen like this is displayed on the display section 4 via the display control section 3.

As described above, according to this embodiment, pages of a document are displayed pictorially on the display screen, and page editing is performed on the page graphically displayed, so that page editing can be performed on the display screen. Editing can be done visually, with good operability and with high reliability.

Although the embodiment has been described using a page moving operation as an example, similar effects can be obtained when copying, deleting, and adding pages.

Effects of the Invention The document editing device of the present invention includes means for graphically displaying the pages of a document on a display surface, and editing processing such as copying, deleting, adding and moving pages on the graphically displayed pages. By providing a means to do this, it is possible to visually edit a page on the display screen, improving operability when editing.
The reliability can be improved, and its practical effects are significant.
