Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides a document creation device equipped with an external memory that stores JIS 2nd level character patterns and external character patterns together with their corresponding Kuten codes. Regarding the display method.

(Conventional technology) In recent years, Japanese word processors, etc. are equipped with LC as a display.
A small document creation device has been developed that uses a micro-flash disk device (for example, 3.5 inches), etc. as an external memory. In such a document creation device, due to constraints to achieve miniaturization and cost reduction, the only character types that can normally be used are JIS level 1.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in creating a document, there are many cases where not only the above-mentioned first level characters but also, for example, second level character types or other arbitrary character patterns are required. There are some document creation devices that allow character types other than those provided as standard equipment to be used as optional characters, but there is no suitable system for such small, low-cost document creation devices. Additionally, some small document creation devices allow you to create arbitrary custom character patterns using the display screen, but the pattern registration area is limited to a small number of internal memory areas. It is impossible to store a large number of custom character patterns and read and use them as appropriate.

Therefore, a large number of custom character patterns created by the custom character creation function of the document creation device are stored in an external memory such as a custom character floppy disk, corresponding to all of the JIS Gaiu-kuten codes, and roughly created by JIS second-level character types. It is contemplated that the device could also use external memory, such as a stored second level floppy disk. In this case, since the internal memory of the device does not have a storage area for all the character patterns saved in the external memory, the input part of the second level character code or custom character code in the document on the display screen may be blank or special. It is desired that the actual second-level character pattern or custom character pattern of that part can be displayed, even if it is indicated by a symbol or the like.

The present invention provides a document creation device equipped with a storage area as a separate external memory for storing JIS level 2 character patterns and external character patterns together with their corresponding Kuten codes. It is an object of the present invention to provide a display method for a document creation device that makes it possible to display and confirm the actual character pattern in a private character code input section.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means and Effects for Solving the Problems) That is, the display method of the document creation device according to the present invention is such that, for example, the character code of a character on a displayed document specified by a cursor is J.
It determines whether it is an IS second level character code or a custom character code, reads the second level character pattern or custom character pattern corresponding to the determined character code from external memory, and displays it together with the corresponding character code information above. be.

(Example) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of a document creation device according to an embodiment. In FIG. 1, a microprocessor (CPU) 10 is a circuit that controls the entire document creation device, and executes document creation processing and custom character creation processing. RAMII is a memory that stores various information necessary for document creation. This RAM 11 includes a document area, line image (print buffer area), external character registration area (external characters (8
01 points in 4th ward) to (16 points in 84th ward)), word registration area (i
It consists of an area for storing fi clauses (1) to (10)) and various control information. The ROM 12 is a memory that stores programs that determine the operation of the CPU 10, displays, printed character patterns, and the like.

The keyboard 13 is a key-powered device for inputting input information necessary for document creation to the CPU 10 via the keyboard controller 14. As shown in FIG.
, a cursor key 22, an insert key 23, a delete key 24, a selection/execution key 25, an end key 26, and a numeric keypad 27. The display 15 is composed of, for example, a four-line liquid crystal display device. The display controller 16 is a CPU
io controls the display on the display 15.

A floppy disk device (FDD) 17 and a disk controller (F()C) 18 store created documents, store external characters, second level characters, etc. in advance, and constitute an external memory. Here, the floppy disks that can be used in the floppy disk device 17 include a document floppy for storing created document information, etc.
A second level kanji floppy 17a that stores second level character patterns in correspondence with their character Kuten codes (48 ku 01 points to 83 ku 94 points) and a large number of custom character patterns created by the custom character creation process There is a private character floppy disk 17b that stores registered private characters in correspondence with registered Kuten codes (01 point for 85th district to 94th point for 94th district).

Figure N3 (A) and <8) respectively show the allocation of the private character pattern memory area to each sector of the private character floppy disk 17b. For example, as shown in Figure (B), only the private character code 85 section is extracted. Each external character pattern is J
Each of the IS outside school point codes is stored in a one-to-one correspondence state.

The printer 19 and printer controller 20 are used to store created documents or the floppy disks 17a.

The character information etc. read into the main body from 17b is transferred to the above cpui.
A printing device is configured to print according to printing control by o.

Next, the display operation of the second level character pattern and the external character pattern in the document display state of the document creation device having the above configuration will be explained.

First, for example, in the display state of a created document stored in the RAM 11 during document creation, or in the display state of document information read into the RAM 11 from a document floppy, the part where the second level character code is input is For example, ``2'' is displayed on the picture of 7O tsubee indicating that a level character has been input.
'' is displayed, and in the area where the private character code is input, a specific pattern indicating that a private character has been input is displayed, such as a picture of a floppy with the word ``gai'' written on it. Here, if you want to check the actual character pattern in the second-level character code and the input part of the external character code scattered on the display document, first select "2" or "external character code" for which you want to check the actual character pattern. ” Use the cursor keys 22 to move the cursor to the display position of the specific pattern.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the display operation of the second level character or non-standard character after the cursor is placed on the input position of the second-level character or non-standard character. First, in step S1, cpulo stores the above document information. Current cursor position from RAM11! Read the character code corresponding to (row/column). Here, it is assumed that the cursor is placed on "2" indicating the second level character code input position on the displayed document, as shown in Figure N5, for example. Then, the CPU 10 determines whether the character code read corresponding to the cursor position is a second level code, that is, 48th ward 01 point to 83rd ward 9.
This is to determine whether or not the code exists between four points. If the determination is YES in step S2, the process proceeds to step S3, where the second level character pattern corresponding to the cursor designated character code is stored. It is determined whether or not the second level kanji floppy disk 17a has been set. Here, for example, if no floppy disk is set, or if a floppy disk other than the second level floppy disk 17a is set, the process proceeds to step S4, and CPtJlo is displayed on the display 15 as shown in the fifth factor. , a message requesting the setting of the second level floppy disk 178 is displayed.

On the other hand, the specific pattern specified by the cursor is "outside" and the character code read in step S1 is 85.
If it is a private character Kuten code that exists between the 01 point and the 94 point Ku94, the set message display state of the private character floppy 17b is made through the processing of steps 82.85 to S7.

Then, when the operator sets the second level floppy disk 17a in the floppy disk drive 17 in the main body according to this floppy set request message (in this case, according to step S4), in step S3 (
YES), and the process advances to step S8. In step S8, the second level floppy disk 1 corresponding to the character code read in step S1 by the CPLJ 10 is read.
It calculates the sector address within 7a, and the CPU 10
reads the second level Kanji pattern stored in the memory area in the second level floppy disk 17a corresponding to the determined sector address. Thereafter, proceeding to step SIO, CPLJlo displays the kanji pattern read from the second level floppy disk 17a and the Kuten code corresponding to this kanji pattern on the display 15 as shown in FIG. let

Therefore, even if a specific second level pattern or custom character pattern is displayed in the second level character or custom character input area on the display document, you can move the cursor to the pattern position and select the corresponding second level 7O character pattern. By setting the 17a or the external character floppy 17b, it becomes possible to easily check the actual second-level kanji pattern or the external character pattern along with its Kuten code. By checking the level 2 kanji and non-standard characters in advance, it is possible to prevent failures due to typographical errors at the printing stage.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, in a document creation device equipped with a separate external memory for storing JIS level 2 character patterns and external character patterns together with their corresponding Kuten codes, for example, a cursor determines whether the character code of the character on the display document specified by is a JIS second level character code or a private character code, reads a second level character pattern or a private character pattern corresponding to the determined character code from an external memory, Since the above-mentioned corresponding character code information is displayed together with the corresponding character code information, the actual character pattern in the second level character code input area and the external character code input area on the displayed document can be appropriately displayed and confirmed. Display method can be provided.
