Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the unnaturalness of a sentence by displaying the marks to be positioned specifically such as ' deg.', ',', 'rt. angle', ''', ''', etc. within a spare dot if those characters are set at the head of a line. CONSTITUTION:When a character input key is supplied through a keyboard 1, a control part 2 decides whether or not the input character is the one follow ing a carriage return code from the contents of a memory 4. If one of those the marks character is detected, it is stored in a spare dot of a memory DM and displayed. This eliminate the unnaturalness of a sentence where said the marks is put put at the head of a line.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention particularly relates to a word processor device that displays punctuation marks and special symbols and controls printing positions.

Traditionally, this type of equipment always gave one character's space for punctuation and special symbols, just like any other character, so when printing, displaying, and determining the line length,... The prohibited character sometimes appears as the first character of a line, which is unnatural in Japanese text notation.

The present invention includes, for example, , JJ)'
If the prohibited character ” comes at the beginning of a sentence, it is automatically detected when inputting it, and it is inserted at the end of the previous line.
The object of the present invention is to provide a word processing device that can eliminate unnaturalness in Japanese sentences.

FIG. 1 is a hardware block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a keyboard which is an input device, and 2 is a control unit for controlling the apparatus, which has an M control memory CM having a control procedure program as shown in FIG. 4.6, as will be described later.

3 is a display for soft copying (displaying) texts, etc., and has a memory DM corresponding to one display screen. 4 is a memory for storing information, ie, text. Reference numeral 5 denotes an auxiliary memory such as a floppy disk for storing the sentences stored in the memory 4. 6 is a printer for obtaining hard copies.

Currently, most of these types of devices (word processors) display characters using dot representation.

The dot configuration of the - line is, for example, as shown in FIG. In other words, one character is expressed as 24 x 24 dots) -7 trictus, and the space S between the characters is, for example, two dots. Figure 3 shows the dot configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention as 71\\. vinegar. This is done by adding a few dots (e.g. 8 dots) at the end of the conventional line configuration.
It is a dead thing. For example, prohibited characters. ,””)”
°゛ If it comes at the beginning of a line, the unnatural character is d′
In addition to the character 1θ゛, it should be displayed in the spare dont. The memory mentioned above has a spare dot area.

The operation of the embodiment having the configuration described above will be explained.

When a character key for inputting a character is operated, the control unit 2 checks the contents of the memory 4 to determine whether or not the character inputted by the key operation is the next character in the carrying return code. If the character is a prohibited character, that is, a special character, the special character is stored in a spare dot in the memory DM and displayed.

11Jl 1211 Part 2 constantly monitors the position of characters, and when the special symbol mentioned in L comes to the beginning of a line, it is displayed using a spare dot at the end (if it comes after a carriage return), and control so that it does not become the beginning of the Fifth
The figure shows F and 7) configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention. In this method, when a special symbol comes at the beginning of a sentence, the space dot a between the characters on the previous line is adjusted to create a space equal to the number of dots for the special symbol that came at the beginning of the sentence, and the special symbol is placed in that part. insert. When a character is input, the control unit 2 looks at the contents of the memory 4 and determines whether it is the next character in the carriage return code. If it is a special character, 1iij
The characters shown in Table 4< in Table 11 are read out from the memory 4 and the storage location in the memory DM is changed, that is, the spaces between the lines are shortened as shown in Fig. 5, and the special characters created manually can be displayed at the end of the line. Let me remember it.

As explained above, this has the effect of preventing special symbols from being displayed at the beginning of sentences, resulting in unnatural end-of-phrase expressions when inputting characters.

4. Detailed explanation of Figure if+i Figure 1 is a software block diagram of a word processor.

4 is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a display dot configuration diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a flow chart of the second embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a keyboard, 2 is a control unit, 3 is a display, 4 is a memory, 5 is an auxiliary memory, and 6 is a printer.
