Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the collective underline processing by using a collective undeline means to underline the Japanese, English and numeric characters strings respectively. CONSTITUTION:The position where the collective underline process should be instructed is stored within a document stored in a document memory 2 with the instruction of a document store instructing means 1. Then an instructing means 4 instructs said position of the document by the output of a designated position memory means 3 which instructs the designated position. A character type collective underline means 6 receives the documents from the memory 2 in response to a command given from a character type collective underline command means 5 which delivers a command for execution of the collective underline process of the same character type and gives the collective underline process to the character type instructed by the means 4 within the document until the character type is changed into the character types set before and after said designated position. Then a designated position control means 7 counts the number of characters included in a part of the document information undergone the collective underline process and the storage contents of instruction memory designating means 3 is renewed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides the ability to simultaneously press the underline key for three character types: Japanese, English, and numbers.
The present invention relates to a character processing device having a function of collectively underlining the character type at a position in a document indicated by a cursor until the character type changes to different character types before and after.

[Prior art] Conventionally, in this type of function, underlining/in processing is performed only for the character indicated by the cursor, and if you want to repeat the underlining processing, you have to press the underline key many times, which is a hassle. The disadvantage was that it forced users to perform various operations.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Therefore, the purpose of the wooden invention is to eliminate such conventional drawbacks,
An object of the present invention is to provide a character processing device that can perform underlining processing for various character types at once with a simple operation.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a document memory for storing document information, and a document storage instruction for instructing storage of document information in the document memory. an instruction means for specifying a position in the stored document information; an instruction position storage specifying means for storing a position where collective underlining is to be specified and specifying the specified position in the instruction means; Character batch underline command means for generating a command to perform batch underline processing of the same character type for each character type, and in response to the command, the character type at the position designated by the command means changes to a different character type before and after. A character type collective underlining means that performs a process of collectively underlining similar characters up to 1. A character processing device comprising: designated position control means for updating the storage contents of the designated position storage designation means in accordance with the number of characters specified.

[Function] According to the present invention, batch underlining processing can be performed for Japanese, English, and numeric character strings by a simple operation of simply pressing the batch underline key.

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

FIG. 1 shows an example of the overall configuration of an embodiment of the character processing device of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a document storage instruction means, and 2 a document memory. A desired document is stored in the document memory 2 according to an instruction from the document storage instruction means 1. Reference numeral 3 designates a designated position storage designation unit for storing a position where collective underlining is to be designated in a document stored in the document memory 2 according to an instruction from the document storage designating unit 1, and designating the designated position; Based on the indicated position designation output from this means 3,
The indicating means 4 indicates the position in the document.

The character type batch underlining unit 6 receives a document from the document memory 2 in response to a command from the character type batch underlining command unit 5 which generates a command to perform batch underlining processing of the same character type, and receives a document from the document memory 2. Then, using means 4, the designated character type is underlined all at once until it changes to different character types before and after the designated position. The number of characters included in a part of the document information processed by batch underlining is counted by the designated position control means 7, and the storage contents of the designated storage specification means 3 are updated in accordance with the counted number of characters. do.

2 shows another embodiment of the character processing device of the present invention.

Here, 11 is a keyboard, and a batch underline key instructs to underline all at once until the character type in the document indicated by the cursor changes to a different character type before and after. It has a key that instructs the necessary processing.

12 is a CPU in the form of a microprocessor, for example, and performs control necessary for character processing according to processing procedures stored in nOM 13. This ROM 13 is a read-only memory that stores processing procedures such as those shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, for example.

The RAM 14 is a writable random access memory, and the document memory 15. The document memory 15, which includes a cursor register 16, a display start register 17, and other memory areas 18 necessary for character processing, stores character information based on input character codes, as well as information regarding the stored character information. For example, a character flag NFL representing the character type, a leading flag SFL representing the beginning of the same character type, and a character flag EFL representing the end of the same character type are also stored. The cursor register 16 stores the cursor position.

The display head register 17 stores the character position of the first digit of the line to be displayed.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a display device that displays one line, and one line displays, for example, 20 digit characters and a cursor.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a path line that 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 apparatus of this embodiment, which is stored in the ll0M 13 and executed by the CPU 12.

In FIG. 3, when the device of this embodiment is turned on,
First, proceed to step St. In this step S1, the state of waiting for the key input from the keyboard is maintained, and if any key is inputted, the process proceeds to step S2, where the inputted key is determined and the underline key t is pressed.
When lL is manually operated, the process proceeds to step S3, and when other keys are manually operated, the process proceeds to step SIO.

In step 510, when a key other than the collective underline key is operated, characters are processed according to the operated key, and then the key is in a state of waiting for human power.Step S1
Proceed to.

In step S2, the batch underline key 11L
When the key is operated, the process proceeds to step S3, where it is determined whether or not there is a document to be edited. If there is, the process proceeds to step S4, and if it does not exist, the process proceeds to step S1, which is in the state of waiting for key manual input.

In step S4, the type of character on the cursor is determined.

Discrimination of each character type is performed based on the code of each character type, and the character type is determined based on each code.

An example of the subroutine procedure for character type discrimination is shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, first, by step 54.1,
A character flag NFL representing the character type, a leading flag SFL representing the beginning of the same character type, and a character flag EpAo representing the end of the same character type are cleared. Then step 34.2
If it is determined that the code of the target character is a Japanese code (kanji code, hiragana code), the process advances from step 34.2 to step S4.3, where the character flag MFL is set to 1. do.

On the other hand, in step 54.2, if the code of the target character is an English character code (English uppercase code, English lowercase code), the process proceeds to Step 54.4, where the determination of the English character code is made. , proceed to step 54.5 and set the character flag NFL to 2.

Similarly, in the case of a numeric code, the process proceeds from step 34.4 to step 34.6, and the character flag MFL is set to 3 in the next step 34.7.

If the code is for any other various characters, the process proceeds from step 54.6 to step 34.8, where the character flag NFL is set to 4.

Referring again to FIG. 3, when the character type on the cursor is determined as described above in the subroutine of step S4,
In the subroutine of the next step S5, the type of character immediately before is determined.

An example of the procedure of the subroutine is shown in FIG. 5. In FIG.
Steps S4.3, S4.5, S4.7, S4 in the figure
．． The character type on the cursor is determined based on the character flag NFL set in step S5.3.55.5, S5.5, etc., and if the character type is the same, The process is then terminated and the process proceeds to step S6. On the other hand, if the character types are different, the head flag SFL is set to 1 in steps S5.6, S5.7, S5.8, etc., and then the process proceeds to step S6.

For example, if the character type on the cursor is Japanese, the character flag MFL is set to 1 in step S4, and the fifth
The code read in step S5.1 in the figure is compared as a Japanese code in step 85.3 according to the determination in step 55.2. As a result, if it turns out that the read code is not Japanese, step 35
．． In step S6, the head flag SFL is set to 1, and the process advances to step S6. On the other hand, if the read code is a Kanji code, the process directly advances to step S6.

In step S6, the leading flag SFL is determined, and if the leading flag SEL is set to 1, the next character is determined to be the leading character of the same character type, and the process proceeds to step S7. On the other hand, when the head flag SFL is O, it is determined that the same character type continues, and the process advances to step S5 to determine the previous character type.

When the beginning of the same character type is determined in step S6,
Proceeding to step S7, one-character underlining processing is performed, and one character at a time is underlined from the beginning of the character type. Underlining of characters in this case can be performed using existing underlining processing.

When the one-character underline process is completed in step S, the process advances to step S8, where a subroutine for determining whether the same character type is finished is executed.

An example of the subroutine for determining the end of the same character type in step S8 is shown in FIG. 6.
．． In INS 8.8, character types are determined using the same determination method as steps 35.1-35.8 in FIG. However, as a result of comparing the character codes in steps S8, 3 to 38.5, if they are of different character types, it is determined that the previous one is the end of the same character type, and the process ends in steps 58.6 to S8, 8. After setting the flag EFL to 1, the process advances to step S9. Step 58.
3 to 38.5, if the characters are of the same type, the process is directly terminated and the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, the end flag EFL is determined. If the end flag EFL is set to 1 in step S8, it is determined that the characters up to the previous character are of the same character type, and the process proceeds to step S1 after completing the batch underlining process of the same character type. On the other hand, if the end flag EFL is O, it is determined that the same character type continues, and the process advances to step S7 to continue underlining processing.

According to the process flow described above, by pressing the batch underline key only once, it is possible to perform batch underlining processing for Japanese, English, and numeric character strings.

It should be noted that in the above description, the simultaneous underlining process is performed for three character types: Japanese, English, and numbers, but the present invention is not limited to such examples.
It is also possible to perform batch underlining processing for other languages such as French, German, Chinese, etc., and the number of character types is not limited to three, but it goes without saying that any desired type can be used.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, batch underlining can be performed for Japanese, English, and numeric character strings by simply pressing the batch underlining key. It is possible.
