Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a character processing device, and particularly to an improved layout display of a document memory. Here, displaying the layout of the document memory means displaying all the character arrangement configurations in one page of the document memory on the display.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, character processing devices such as word processors generally have a display device that can display all the characters in a part of a document. There are known devices that have been improved to enable this.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, due to the physical limitations of the display device, the layout is such that one character is expressed in a font of several dots x several dots, and the character where the cursor is located is expressed as follows. The method used was to make the font blink.

Therefore, the operator is forced to look at the layout display and determine which character is currently being proofread or converted from the blinking display of small dots, resulting in the disadvantage that the layout display function is not effectively utilized.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a character processing device that eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional example and further associates a character display with layout display contents.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an input means for inputting characters, a document memory for storing characters inputted by the input means, a display device, and a document memory. a character display means for reading out characters stored in the document memory and displaying J on the display; a layout display means for reading out the character arrangement configuration in the document memory and displaying it on the display; and a display displayed on the display by the layout display means. It is characterized by comprising a control means for controlling the display so as to display a portion of the content corresponding to the display content displayed on the display by the character display means in a manner different from other layout displays. do.

[Function] That is, the present invention provides a correspondence relationship between the display content displayed on the display device by the character display means and the display content displayed on the display device by the layout display means. It is.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a character processing apparatus according to the present invention.

That is, the present invention includes an input means 100 for inputting one character, a document memory 101 for storing characters input by the input means 100, a cursor indicating means 102 for moving a cursor, and a cursor for storing the current position of the cursor. instruction storage means 103; character display means 105 for reading characters stored in document memory 101 and displaying them on display 104; and layout display means 106 for reading character arrangement configurations in document memory 101 and displaying them on display 104. Then, among the display contents displayed on the display device 104 by the layout display means 108, a portion corresponding to the display contents displayed on the display device 104 by the character display means 105 is blinked differently from other layout displays. and a control means 107 for controlling the display 104 to display the display in this manner.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the character processing device of the present invention.

Here, 5 is a keyboard as an input means, and has various keys for instructing processes necessary for character processing. Reference numeral 1 denotes a central processing unit (CPU) in the form of a microprocessor, which performs control necessary for character processing according to procedures stored in a ROM (read only memory) 3. The ROM 3 stores, for example, the processing procedure shown in the third figure. Reference numeral 4 denotes a writable RAM (random access memory), which includes, for example, a document memory 4-1, a display buffer 4-2) a layout display buffer 4-3, and other areas 4-4 necessary for character processing.

6 is a printer for printing, and 7 is a display capable of displaying layouts in addition to displaying characters. A path line 2 transfers address signals, data signals, and control signals necessary for controlling each part.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure of the embodiment of the present invention stored in the ROM 3 and executed by the CPU 1.

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

Then, in the next step S-2, necessary processing for character processing is performed for each key, and then, in step S-3, the contents of the display buffer 4-2 are updated. Here, the one-character code, other attributes necessary for displaying characters, the cursor position, etc. are also updated.

After that, in step S-4, the layout buffer 4-3
Update the attributes of the part currently being edited that is necessary for displaying the layout. Here, all character strings displayed in the display buffer 4-2 are given a blink display attribute so that they are displayed in a blinking manner.

Therefore, in the next step S-5, the contents of the updated display buffer 4-2) layout buffer 4-3 C character,
(attributes, etc.) is displayed on the 5 display 7.

Examples of the display on the display at this time are shown in FIGS. 4(B) and 4(C), for example. That is, the fourth
As shown in (C) of the figure, in the layout display displayed on the display, an area 41 indicated by a dotted line is displayed blinking.

The contents of this blinking area 4I correspond to the area 42 shown by the dotted line in the document memory shown in (A) of FIG. Corresponds to the character display example that is included.

In addition, in order to indicate the current cursor position in the layout display example, the blinking cycle of only the character where the cursor is located is changed, and the frame parts 4a to 4d corresponding to the sieve are outlined in white, as shown in FIGS. 4(D) and 4(E). (Figure 4 (E))
.

Thereafter, the process returns to step S-1 to wait for a key.

FIG. 5(A) is an example of a layout display in which the area 51 indicated by the dotted line is displayed blinking as described above, and FIG. 5(B) is an example of the display at that time.

However, when the display content on the display has a lot of blank space as shown in FIG. If the blinking is inverted as shown in (C) in correspondence with (D), the parts corresponding to the characters will be whitened out, making the layout display clearer.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, since the characters displayed on the display are associated with the layout display, there is an effect that the operability is improved. Additionally, there are advantages in layout display.

In addition, in the present invention, the display of the corresponding portion as described above is not limited to the case where the corresponding portion is blinked once, but the corresponding portion may be whited out, the thickness of the display may be changed, or other display marks may be used. It also includes any case where the layout is displayed in a format different from other layout displays.
