Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a media suitable for creating a table containing documents using a personal computer, word processor, or the like.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when creating a table using a personal computer or a word processor, the method has been to first create a table frame and then insert the document into this frame. For this reason, when inserting a document, if the document does not fit within the frame, it becomes necessary to re-correct the frame. However, at this stage, part of the document has already been written, so this modification becomes a very troublesome operation.

[The problem that the invention aims to solve]

In the conventional technology, when creating a table, editing processing does not require changing the frame of the table, so there is a lack of consideration for facilitating operations.

For this reason, while editing, there are many documents that are placed in the frame.
If it becomes necessary to widen the frame, a large amount of man-hours will be required to correct it.

An object of the present invention is to provide a user with the ability to easily perform this simple editing process.

[Means for solving problems]

The difficulty of the prior art described in FEJ is due to the method of creating a table in 1.1. A frame is created and then a document is inserted into the frame. That is, since the frame creation and the text/animal creation are processed independently, the relationship between the two depends on the data input by the operator, causing the above-mentioned problems.

The present invention creates a file containing a mixture of frame data and document data, and provides a means to automatically determine the size of the frame and the position of the triangle, and the length of the document data is changed. However, by automatically recalculating the size of the frame and the position of the ruled line (k) based on this document data, we have achieved the goal of facilitating editing processing that requires minor corrections. .

[Effect]

The present invention will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

That is, FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the relationship between a table to be created and a file structure for storing this table.

In FIG. 1, a document file 2 is created by a document file creation means 1. This document file 2 is structured with ruled line information and document information as shown in Figure @2. In order to create a screen and display it on the screen, first, the position of the ruled line is calculated in advance by the ruled line position calculation means 3. The operation of this calculation means 3 will be explained with reference to FIG.

The upper part of the figure shows a part of the table to be created, and ml-j represents a document (character string). In order to create this table, it is necessary to create a file like the one shown at the bottom of the figure. The [ ] character at the beginning of the file distinguishes whether the ] record (one line) indicates ruled line information (Y) or document information (M). The numbers indicate the vertical lines. For example, “Yo,
3" is 61j! The 3rd place reached from the AO position &"! It means "draw a horizontal line".It also means "MO, no-O".
s 1 Punch...1 means a fist which is document information, first draw a vertical line at the position of vertical line point 0, then document m o
-o, and then draw a vertical line at the vertical line A].

The ruled line position calculating means 3 of the present invention examines the contents of the file and calculates and stores the husband's vertical line position corresponding to the vertical line position fIItA. 1 Vertical to the left end (X coordinate = 0)? Determine the location of R&0. Next, the vertical line point l is determined, but this is done by calculating the document information record of the file and the record containing the vertical line AI, checking the number of characters in the document information immediately before each, and placing this number of characters at the position of the vertical line AO. The added position is calculated as the position of 1 m long and 1 m wide. However, vertical HA1
The actual position of is determined and stored as the maximum of the respective calculated values. Thereafter, the vertical line position weight is determined one after another in the same way. Furthermore, since the ruled line information of the horizontal line is written in vertical 11FJA, if the position of this vertical line is determined, the X coordinate of the horizontal line will also become the determined fist. As described above, the ruled line position calculating means 3 calculates this position based on the document file 2. The result is stored in the ruled line position storage means 5.

The table data display means 4 reads the document file 2 record by record, compares it with the ruled line position information in the ruled line position storage means 5, and creates and displays a table.

[Embodiments of the invention]

One embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of a word processor, for example, and the following devices are connected around a data bus. 1 is CRT (Cathode Ray
Tube Display), 2 is RAM (Ra
ndom Accθss Memory), 3 is the microprocessor, 4 is the keyboard, 5 is ROM (Re
0nly Memory), 6 is a clock oscillation circuit, 7 is a timing control circuit, 8 is a character font ROM, 9 is a CART control circuit, ]O is a refresh memory, 1] is a parallel/serial conversion circuit, 12 is a Dinuk control device , 13 is a disk drive device.

The basic operation of the word processor configured as described above will be briefly explained below. When data is input from the keyboard 4, this data is transferred to the character font ROM 8 by the microprocessor 3, which operates according to the program stored in the ROM 5 and as described in this blockrum.
The fonts are then transferred to the refresh memory 10 as read character fonts. If another key is then pressed again, the character font corresponding to this input data is transferred to the next position in the fresh memo IJIO by a convenient route.

In this way, the data entered manually is converted into character fonts one after another and transferred to the refresh memory 10. Such a series of operations is managed by basic pulses generated by the clock oscillation circuit 6. The basic pulse of this clock oscillation circuit 6 is also transmitted to the CRT control circuit 9, and the CRT control circuit 9 supports this basic pulse and utilizes the time period when the microprocessor 3 is not accessing the refresh memory 10. , reads the data from the refresh memory 10 and transfers it to the parallel/serial conversion circuit 11. Parallel/transferred data
The serial conversion circuit 11 converts this data into a rectangular pulse train and inputs it as a video signal V to the CRTl. The synchronizing signal S output from the ORT*I'4jAJ circuit 9 is also input to the CRT. (!RTI uses these signals to brightly light up the dot at the corresponding position on the screen when the video signal V is at the H1gh level potential. The rows below are also scanned from left to right to display all dots on the 1m! A memory address for reading data from the refresh memory 10 is generated so that the data of the next stage is sequentially taken out from the upper left to the right and then transferred to the parallel/serial conversion circuit 11. , disk drive ali13
The reading and writing of the disks set in the ROM 5 is also performed sequentially by the microprocessor 3 controlling the disk drive device IIL13 via the disk control device 12 according to the description of the control program stored in advance in the ROM 5.

That is, FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the main routine of table processing for creating a document file. Here, for example, a menu screen is displayed and all menu selections are made. This menu selection is normally performed using function keys or numeric keys, and if the data entered from the keyboard 4 in step 41 is a command to start editing processing, a subroutine EDIT (50) is selected to perform the editing processing in step 42. is started. In addition, in steps 42 and 43, if the key input data instructs display processing of a document file (table data), the subroutine T for determining the vertical line position (1! (200), The subroutine HYDS (250) for data display processing is started sequentially.Furthermore, in steps 42, 43 and 45, when the data entered by the key commands the end of all processing, the processing of this device is started. ends.

Now, before starting to explain various processing operations, the configuration of the document file BF engineering LE of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 33 shows an overview of the various work areas used in this embodiment, and the functions of the individual work areas will be explained in detail later. In other words, the document file BF engineering LE has the document information MDATA and the diagonal line information KD.
It is constructed by a document information record in which a flag area RFLG indicating the record type is added to the document data BDATA constituted by ATA, and is managed by a file record No. FNO pointing to this document information record. When "Y" is stored in the flag area RFLG, this document information record includes information regarding the horizontal line of the ruled line, and when "M" is stored in the flag area RFLG, this document information record includes the document information MDATA. It includes ruled line information KDATA (vertical line A). Also,
When E1 is stored in the flag area RF'LG,
This document information record is the final record of the document file (
end mark). Further, an appropriate control code (classification data) is assigned to the division between the document information MDATA and the ruled line information KDATA of the document data BDATA, but in the embodiment, in order to simplify the explanation, "
, ′ (comma) indicates this. Further, a control code for return and line feed is added after each document data BDATA to close the document information record.

Next, the subroutine EDIT of editing processing will be explained with reference to FIG. When the subroutine ED T is activated, it is determined in step 52 whether the data entered manually in step 5 is a command to end the editing process. The keys that command the end of the editing process are usually the function 7 key, 5 TOP key, and CLEAR.
The key, KSO key, etc. are assigned 1, and this subroutine ends with the manual input of these keys. However, if a key other than these keys is input, subroutine C for cursor control, which will be explained in more detail later, is executed.
! 5ON (110), ap (60) is activated next from a subroutine for inserting, deleting, and overwriting processing (set of ruled line data and document data).

FIG. 6 shows an overview of the CP from the subroutine shown in FIG. 5, and by starting this subroutine, the subroutine NMC (
70), subroutine C for inserting character data

As a result, by this insertion process, the character string after the edit character pointed to by the pointer EPT is moved by one character into the test field. Next, in step 84, after the pointer EFT is updated (+1), a subroutine KDDP for displaying the data in the editing area KDAR is activated. In addition, in steps 81 and 82, if the data entered manually does not correspond to this routine, or after subroutine KDDP is executed, this routine ends and the next subroutine 0CGP is started via the upper subroutine IDCP. be done.

FIG. 9 shows the contents of the subroutine C0GF shown in FIG. 6. In this subroutine, contrary to the previously explained subroutine If it is not in the insert mode, the processing from step 93 onwards is performed. That is, in step 93, the editing character pointed to by the pointer EFT is replaced with data (characters) input manually using the key.
This replacement result is executed in a subroutine KDDP for displaying data in the editing area EDAR.

In addition, in steps 91 and 92, if the data entered manually does not correspond to this routine, after executing the subroutine EDDP, this routine terminates, and the data is transferred from the upper subroutine via CPf to the primary R data. In this routine, in step 101, it is determined whether the data entered manually is an instruction to delete data. This data deletion instruction is usually assigned to a delete key or other function keys, and in step 102, the edit character pointed to by the pointer EFT is deleted by the manual input of these keys.

As a result, as a result of this deletion process, each character after the character pointed to by the pointer FT in the editing area KDAR is moved forward by one character. This editing result is displayed in the next subroutine KDDP. After this subroutine KDDP is executed, or if it is determined in step 101 that this routine does not apply, this routine ends, and control is transferred from a higher-level subroutine to a higher-level subroutine KDDP via CP.

After processing this step 172 or step 171
If the record is not recognized as a paper screen record, this subroutine ends and the upper subroutines UPPR and CB
Subroutine 0BRT is activated via ON.

FIG. 18 shows the processing contents of the subroutine C3RT shown in FIG. 11. In step 18], it is determined whether the data entered manually with the key is an instruction to move the cursor to the right. The &ε key (rightward arrow key) or a function key is assigned to the normal rightward movement instruction, and in step 182, it is first checked whether the cursor can be moved to the right using these keys. Specifically, the content of the counter CRX that manages the cursor position & is read out, compared with the limit value for cursor movement, and if it is within the limit value, the cursor is allowed to move. If it is determined that the cursor can be moved, the counter CRX that manages the cursor position is updated in step 183, and the horizontal axis counter is increased by +1)L.
The contents of RX are transferred to the CRT control circuit 9. As a result, the on-screen cursor of the CRTI is moved one character to the right and redisplayed. Also, at the same time, in step 184,
