Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability, and the input speed of character picturing, by providing a character changing and storing means, and a character picturing control means which retrieves and outputs a character stored in the character changing and storing means on the basis of a bit of cursor position information. CONSTITUTION:A key deciding means 1 decides an input to which group, such as a cursor, a character change, a character picturing, or a character erasing, belongs the input, from an input signal. A cursor position changing and storing means 2 changes a cursor position being displayed at present, and stores the position, and a character changing and storing means 3 fetches an inputted character, and changes the character already stored to a fetched character anew, then storing it. A character picturing control means 4 outputs the character stored in the character changing and storing means 3 in the character picturing, and a non-inputted code which represents a state where no character is inputted, in the character erasing, to the cursor position stored in the cursor position changing and storing means 2.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3.Yall Explanation of the Invention Industrial Field of Application The present invention is a wordpress [I] that manually inputs and edits characters.
L! The present invention relates to a character-powered device for inputting sentence 51 information into an information processing device such as a Tuna or an electronic 81-bit machine.

Conventional technology Conventionally, in this strange character human power system, cursor movement and character input were independent of each other, and by inputting a character, cursor position information was referenced, the character was displayed at that position, and the cursor moved to the next position. 7 people) 4Q It is configured to move to ffff.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, the H-trail normally only moves in a fixed direction from left to right as characters are input, so it cannot be moved from top to bottom, bottom to top, or right to If you continue to enter a character in ``!J!'', move the cursor to the input position each time ``8'' and then input the character (1). If you try to draw by repeatedly using , the operation becomes very cumbersome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a character input device that can draw characters with a simpler operation than conventional ones.

Means to solve the problemKi Mitsuaki's character input device can be used to select which group to use, such as cursor, character change, character drawing, character deletion, etc. Judgment - (
- a first stage of determination, a cursor position change storage means for changing the cursor position and storing the position when the key determination means determines that it is a cursor, and a cursor position change storage means that changes the cursor position and stores the position when the first stage of key determination determines that it is a character change; 76 character change storage means that takes in the input characters and changes the already stored characters to the new characters that have been taken in; A statement that outputs a character stored in the means to the cursor position stored in the cursor position change storage means when a character is determined to be erased, a non-input = 1- code indicating a state in which no character has been input. The present invention is characterized in that a means for controlling drawing is provided.

According to this method, the first stage of character drawing control searches for characters stored in the character change storage means based on cursor position information and repeatedly outputs them along the cursor trajectory.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a character input device according to the present invention. 1 is a 21-decision r stage, from the input signal to the cursor, character change, and sentence '? 'iii! It is determined which group it belongs to, such as ii and character deletion. 2 is a cursor position storage means for changing the currently displayed cursor position and storing the position. Reference numeral 3 denotes a character change storage means which takes input characters, changes the already stored characters to the newly taken characters, and stores them. Reference numeral 4 denotes a character drawing control means which changes the cursor position by changing the character stored in the memorized character history storage means when drawing a character, and by changing the uninput code indicating a state in which no character has been input when deleting a character. It is output to the cursor position recorded in the storage means 2.

FIG. 2 shows an operation flowchart of FIG. 1.

It should be noted that the following explanation assumes that a certain arbitrary character is stored in the character change storage means 3 prior to character drawing.

First, the key determining means 1 takes in a signal inputted by an input means such as a keyboard, and determines the type thereof (step 5). Check whether the unity of this judgment is in the character drawing mode (step 6), and if character drawing [-] is specified, change the characters up to [Sfutsub 16] below, and Jj and sentence ``r'' are executed.This will be explained in detail.When character change is specified in the character drawing mode, [step 8] is executed via [step 7].(Su 1 Tub 8) Then, the character change storage means 3 takes in the characters to be changed.After that (step 8),
Sentence 7 History storage means 3 changes the already stored characters to new characters taken in by [Sfutub 8] and stores them.

When the process ends (Step 9), the process returns to [Step 5]. When character drawing is specified in the character drawing mode, [Step 11] is executed via [Step 10]. [Step 11] The character drawing υ control means 4 searches for characters stored in the character change storage means 3. Next, by moving the cursor key via [step 14], the searched character is output based on the cursor position information stored in the cursor position change storage means 2 (step 15). Then, as soon as the cursor moves to the next specified position, the cursor position change storage means 2t changes and stores the already stored cursor position to a new position [suit tab 16], and then executes the process via the above-mentioned [step 14]. Te(su7tsu7
15)→[Step 16] is repeated to output the character (f) on the path of the cursor.

When character deletion is designated (step 10), (step 12) is executed, and then (step 13) is executed.

(Step 13) searches for a non-input code indicating the state of 11ti in which the character drawing controller stage 4 inputs characters.

Then, the uninputted code is used in place of the character searched in [Step 11] to execute the character drawing operation (Step 14) and [Step 15] (Step 16).

In other words, by outputting a non-input code instead of a character, the cursor trajectory becomes a state where no character has been input.

In the above embodiment, an example was explained in which drawn characters are output one character at a time, but this is structured so that multiple character strings are stored and the cursor position can be selected based on that information. It is clear that it is also possible to draw character strings by doing this.

Detailed Description of the Invention J, Uniki's character input device has a character history storage means that captures input characters, changes already stored characters to new characters, and stores them. , a sentence that searches and outputs the characters stored by the character change storage means based on cursor position information. 'The drawing control means is designed to use a combination of cursor position information and drawn character information, so just by moving the cursor, the operator can draw any character continuously on the trajectory.
It is now possible to write characters that follow the trajectory of the characters, and this improves the operability of character drawing and the input speed compared to the past.
