Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily select a specific character among a few groups of specific characters even if they increase by scattering and allocating specific characters related to basic characters at every basic character and displaying only the specific characters allocated to the basic ones on a display device so as to select. CONSTITUTION:When a specific character dedicated key 1a is operated to find that it relates to inputting basic characters such as a next key-in alphabet, the specific character allocated to the basic character concerned is displayed on the display device 4. Then an operator inputs the display number, for instance, of his desired specific character and executes the selection processing, whereby said character is displayed at his desired input position. Based on the key-in of (u) the device judges that the input is basic character, and displays the specific character allocated to the (u) on the display device 4. Then the operator numerically inputs and selects (u) put to the display number, whereby (u) is displayed on the display device 4.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention can create European-style sentences such as German, which has umlaut symbols, and can also create sentences that include phonetic symbols such as English. The present invention relates to a text processing device.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, text processing devices capable of creating the above-mentioned texts display all special characters such as umlauts and phonetic symbols at once as a character group, and then select a desired character from this character group. A text processing device that selects and creates sentences, and a text creation device that creates sentences by making two strokes of a key, reassigning all special characters to their respective keys, and selecting the key corresponding to the desired special character. There was a device.

However, such text creation devices have the disadvantage that as the number of special characters increases, in the former case, the number of characters displayed increases, and it takes time to select the desired special character. Moreover, the latter case has the disadvantage that the number of keys must be increased.

<Object of the Invention> The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and in addition to providing a key dedicated to special characters, by combining this dedicated key with alphabetic characters, etc., it is possible to To provide a text creation device that displays only special characters derived from characters and selects a desired special character from among them to create a text.

<Example> The present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the text creation device according to the present invention, in which 1 is an input device such as a keyboard that includes character keys for inputting Japanese characters, English characters, etc. and various control keys, and special characters are selected. 02 is a control device such as a CPU that controls the entire device and performs various editing processes. 3 is the input Japanese and English text.

A text storage memory stores text information such as German text, format information, etc. 4 is a display device that displays input text information, and also displays various setting mode states and special character candidates to be selected. 5 is a special character table that stores special characters, and as shown in Figure 2, each table stores basic characters A such as alphabet letters (a, U, O...) and the number of special characters derived from each basic character. B, and character codes C2C, . . . of each special character.

Next, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the text processing apparatus of the present invention, which will be explained below with reference to this figure.

When a key is input manually (Sl) on the key input device, it is determined whether the input is the special character dedicated key 1a (S2)
, if it is not the special character dedicated key 1a, each process corresponding to the input key is performed (S7).

In addition, when the special character key 1a is operated in S2, it is necessary to determine whether the input position at that time is in an uninput area.
3) If it is an uninput area, that is, if a new sentence is to be input, it is determined whether the next key input (S8) is a key input of a basic character such as the alphabet (S9).
)0 and when inputting a basic character, the special character assigned to the basic character is displayed on the display device 4, and the operator selects the desired special character by numerically inputting, for example, the display number. Process (81
0), a desired special character can be displayed at a desired input position.

Furthermore, if there is a key input other than basic characters in S9, each process corresponding to the input key is performed (Sll) 0 Next, in S93, if the input position is not in an uninput area, i.e. When correcting a sentence that has already been input, it is necessary to judge whether the next input is a basic character (S4), and if it is a basic character, the special character assigned to the basic character is displayed on the display device 4. The character at the desired input position can be corrected by displaying the special character, and the operator inputs a desired special character, for example, the numerical value of the display number, and performs selection processing (S5).

Further, if it is determined in S4 that the input is a character other than basic characters, a warning is issued by a buzzer (S6), and then the initial state is returned.

The above-mentioned operation will now be explained using a case where the word 'a'ff1ffen' is newly input into an uninput area.

To input IXa//, first press the ■a key manually (S
l), determines that it is not the special character dedicated key 1a (S2)
t, , demon a〃 are displayed on the display device 4 and transferred to the text memory 3.

To input s',,n, first press the special character key (S
l) determines that the key 1a is for special characters only (
S2) and also determines that it is an uninput area (S2).
3) Based on the key input of o and u〃 (S8), it is determined that it is a basic character (S9), and the special character assigned corresponding to Nu〃 is displayed on the display device. Then, when the operator inputs and selects the display number attached to % ji //, 'X'y 17 is displayed on the display device 4 and the remaining 'ffen' is transferred to the text memory 3. can be displayed on the display device 4 and transferred to the text memory 3 by the same input operation as ss a//.

Next, change what is entered as 'auffen' to 'a'
The case where the correction is made to ``uffen'' will be described.

First, the cursor was moved to the -u position of 'auffen', and the special key 1a was operated to enter basic characters based on the special and % u /I keys (SS) (S9). If you confirm that SS 11
The special character assigned to correspond to n is displayed on the display device 4. Then, the operator enters the desired display number with 6 and selects it.
is changed to IS itt and displayed on the display device 4, and the contents of the text memory 3 are also rewritten.

To describe the special character input cultin in more detail, as shown in FIG. 4, based on the input of a basic character, the address of the basic character table is determined (S21), and the special character assigned to the basic character is retrieved. indicate(
S22). When the operator selects a desired special character (S23), the character code of the selected special character is determined (S24), and the determined character code is transferred to the text memory 3.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the present invention distributes and allocates special characters related to each basic character for each basic character, and based on the operation of the special character dedicated key and the basic character key,
Since the display device is configured to display and select only the special characters assigned to the basic character, the number of special characters displayed at one time can be limited, so even when the number of special characters increases, the desired special character can be selected. Characters can always be easily selected from a small group of special characters. Since there is no need to increase the number of keys, there is no need to increase costs, and there is no need to change the key layout.
