Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a word processor containing a memo function that can register words and phrases even with no use of existing documents, by providing a memo memory means and putting the memo contents of the memory means into a document. CONSTITUTION:When a memo key is operated while the document read out of a document memory 16 is displayed at a display part 26, a memo mode is set and the display is erased. Then a character key is operated for input of words and phrases for memo. Thus these words and phrases are displayed at the part 26 via an input buffer 14. Then a conversion key is operated for retrieval of a dictionary 28 and the pertinent KANJI (Chinese characters) are displayed on the low lines 262 of the part 26 as the candidate KANJI. The memo key is operated again after selection of the desired KANJI for confirmation of the words and phases. Then the memo register number is designated and an execution key is operated for registration of said register number to a memory 20 for memo. Then an insertion key is operated during display of the document of the memory 16 and an insertion mode is set. Thus the memo register number is designated by a numerical key and then an execution key is operated. Then the memo of a designated number is inserted to a document.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention provides a method for registering and modifying memos, which are character strings that can be set independently of documents, and for inserting memos into documents currently being edited. The present invention relates to a word processor having functions.

[Prior art and its problems] Conventional word processors with document creation functions allow users to specify and register the range they wish to register in an existing input document.
It has standard functions. However, this does not allow registering words that are not present in the document, or registering words with slight modifications to the words in the document.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a word processor having a memo function that allows words and phrases to be registered even without an existing document.

[Summary of the Invention] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the present invention provides a document input means that operates in the same way as when inputting a normal document even in the memo mode, and a memo that is a character string unrelated to the document. a memo storage means for storing; a registration means for registering a character string in the memo storage means by changing the mode even during document input; a means for editing the character string registered in the memo storage means; The present invention is characterized by comprising means for inserting the character string registered in the storage means into the document currently being edited.

[Embodiments of the invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows its configuration, and 10 is a central processing unit (
CPU), 12 is the "memo" key, "execute" key, r conversion" key, r no conversion" key, numerical keys ("1" to "O")
and character keys (kana, alphanumeric characters, symbols), such as a tablet, and operation signals from each key are input to the CPtJ10. 14 is an input buffer in which input kana characters are stored, and 16 is a sentence memory in which a document after kana-kanji conversion is stored. 18 is a program and CG pattern memory in which programs and character generator (CG) patterns are stored, and 20 is a memo and work memory in which various information and notes at the time of program execution are stored. 22 is a display memory that stores display data in a dot pattern, and the characters in the manual buffer 14 or document memory 16 are
The program is converted into a corresponding pattern in the CG pattern memory 18 and then stored. 24 is a display driver, and 26 is a display section (LCD) that displays the data in the display memory 22.

This display section 26 is composed of a dot matrix LCD, and displays the characters in the manual buffer 14 or the document memory 1.
The characters in 6 that have been converted into character patterns are displayed in the row 261 above them. Further, during the memo mode, characters converted into character patterns of the characters in the manual buffer 14 are also displayed in the upper row 261. Descending 262
displays homophones of conversion candidates. And 28
is a dictionary consisting of an idiom dictionary and a kanji dictionary.
This includes a two-letter idiom that corresponds to the reading! A large number of $1 kanji are memorized.

Memo registration in such a configuration is shown in Figure 2 (
This is carried out as shown in a) and (b). However, (a) in the same figure shows an example of the operation, and (1) in the same figure shows an example of the display at that time. That is, (1) the document read from the document memory 16 is displayed on the display section 26 as shown in FIG.
) are displayed as shown.

(2) If the "memo" key is operated as shown in FIG. 2(a), the memo mode is entered and the display of document data disappears as shown in FIG. 2(b).

(3) Operate the character keys from the input unit 12 to input "word processor big" as shown in FIG. 2(a). Then, this character is input into the input buffer 14, read out from the manual buffer 14, and displayed on the display section 26 as shown in FIG. 2(b).

Here, when the r conversion J key is operated as shown in FIG. 2(a), the dictionary 28 is searched and the corresponding kanji is retrieved. are displayed as candidate kanji characters in the lower row 262 (not shown), and when "calligraphy" is selected from among the candidate kanji characters (not shown), it is displayed as shown in FIG.

(5) Next, as shown in FIG. 2(a), operate the memo j key to confirm the memo document.

(■ Here, as shown in Figure 2 (a), "1" ~ rO
Specify the memo registration number using the J numerical key.

(7) Finally, when the "execute" key is operated as shown in FIG. 2(a), the memo is registered at the specified number and the memo mode is ended. At the same time, the display on the display section 26 returns to the display before the memo mode, as shown in FIG. 2(b).

Such a memo recording operation is performed according to a flow chart as shown in FIG. That is, when the "memo" key is operated, the memo mode is entered.

When a character key is operated from the input section 12 in this memo mode, it is input to the manual buffer 14 and displayed on the display section 26 (step 5T301).
'). Here, the operation of character input and kana-kanji conversion is as follows.
Since it is well known, I will not specifically discuss it here.

If you operate the "Memo" key again, character input ends, and you wait until the number is specified using the numeric keys of the input section 12 (
Step 5T302).

If a number is specified, that number will be added to the memo and work area above.
It is temporarily stored in the work memory of the memory 20 (step 5T303).

Here, "When the execution j key is operated (step 5T3
04), memo registration processing is performed. That is, based on the memo registration number, the address of the memo memory in the memo and work memory 20 is calculated (step 778-305).

Then, the input buffer 714 is added to the calculated address.
Transfer and store memo data in (Step 5T3)
06). However, since the memo memory is composed of RAM, the memo contents disappear when the power is turned off.

Next, when using the memo registered as described above, for example when inserting it into a document, Figure 4 <a) and (1)
)) for explanation. However, FIG. 5(a) shows an example of the operation, and FIG. 6(b) shows an example of the display at that time. That is, (1) The document read out from the document memory 16 is displayed on the display section 26 as shown in FIG. 4(b).

(2) Here, as shown in Figure 4 (a), "insert"
Press the key to enter insert mode.

(3) Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4 <a), "Memo"
Press the key to enter memo mode.

(4) Next, as shown in Figure 4(a), “1” to r
Use the numerical keys on OJ to specify the registration number of the memo you want to insert.

(5) Best of all, “Execution” as shown in Figure 4 (a)
When the key is operated, the memo with the designated number is inserted into the document as shown in FIG. 2(b), and the insertion and menu mode are terminated.

This will be briefly explained with reference to the flow chart of FIG. That is, if you operate the Memo J key during the insert mode, the memo mode will be entered. In this memo mode, if you operate the numerical keys from the input section 12, the memo and work memory 20
(Step 5T5)
01).

If the "execute" key is operated here, memo use processing begins (step 5T502). That is, based on the registration number of the memo entered above, the memo and work memory 20
(Step 5T)
503).

Read the memo contents corresponding to the calculated address and calculate the length (number of characters) of the memo (step 5T50)
4).

The document data after the cursor position is moved backward by the calculated length (step 5T505).

Then, the memo contents are transferred to the moved and blank area (step 5T506).

In this way, since a memo is provided separately from the document, necessary items can be temporarily stored in the memo even while inputting the document, and the memo can be inserted into the document, so the document Word processors can be used more conveniently by making a note of another requirement while inputting information, or by memorizing and inserting frequently occurring words into a document.

In the above embodiment, the memo was made up of 10 lines of 12 characters, but it is also possible to have a memo paper separate from the document paper and write memos freely on it as if inputting a document. It is possible.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, there is provided a word computer having a memo function that allows words and phrases to be registered even without an existing document.
A processor can be provided.
