Abstract

PURPOSE:To quickly display or print a prescribed sentence by recording sentences such as a demonstration one in the ROM of the main body of a word processor. CONSTITUTION:A demonstration data area 31 storing demonstration data is formed in a system program 3. When a main power source is turned on, an edition control part 2 reads the demonstration data out of the demonstration area 31 of the system program 3 according to the system program, and stores it in the sentence buffer of an edition memory 4. The demonstration data in the sentence buffer is displayed on a display device 6 through a display control part 5, and is printed by a printer 8 through a printer control part 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to improvements in system program memory (ROM) in word processors.

<Prior art> When demonstrating a word processor at a store, etc., it is often necessary to demonstrate and explain to customers the display, printing, etc. operations, and conventionally, the demonstration text is input using a floppy disk or the like. In the former case, it was necessary to prepare a special floppy disk because the salesman entered the data manually on the spot, and in the latter case, the salesman had to enter the information by hand.

<Objective of the Invention> The present invention has been made in view of the conventional problems, and it is possible to record sentences such as demonstration sentences in the ROM in the word processor body and quickly read the contents into the document memory of the word processor body. The purpose is to provide a word processor that can.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of the word processor of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the appearance of a word processor according to the present invention, and numeral 9 denotes a main body of the word processor, which is equipped with a keyboard 1, a display device 6, and a printer 8.

10 is a sample example of a demonstration sentence printed by the word processor.

The configuration of the word processor of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

1 is a keyboard device, which is equipped with character keys for inputting character information and various control keys for editing text. Reference numeral 2 denotes an editing control section, which performs editing control according to an editing control system program stored in advance in a system program memory, which will be described later. 3 is a system program memory consisting of a ROM or the like, which stores a system program for editing control. 31 is a demo data area for storing demonstration data (hereinafter referred to as demo data) provided in the system program 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes an editing memory such as a RAM, which includes a text buffer in which text data is stored and various buffers constituting flags during editing processing and demo data processing. Reference numeral 5 represents a display control unit having a built-in display buffer, and reference numeral 6 represents a display device for displaying demo data, text data, etc. stored in the text buffer of the editing memory 4.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a printer control section, which causes the printer 8 to print out the demo data and text data stored in the text buffer of the editing memory 4 in response to instructions from the editing control section.

Next, the demonstration designation operation and operation of the word processor of the present invention will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, turn off the power to your word processor.
Turn on the power of the main unit while holding down (Sl) a specific key (for example, 匪JUEI+Q) on the keyboard L (S2
). Based on this operation, the editing control unit 2 reads the demo data from the demo data area 31 of the system program memory 3 according to the system program, stores it in the text buffer of the editing memory (Sa), and then stores the demo data in the text buffer. The data is displayed on the display device 6 via the display control section 5 (S4), and the demo data is printed on the printer 8 via the printer control section 7 (S5). When all the demonstration data has been printed (S6), the demonstration mode is canceled and the printer enters the next mode designation standby state.

According to the present invention as described above, demonstration data is automatically transferred from the system program memory (ROM) in the word processor body to the text buffer (RAM) of the editing memory by a specific key operation, and then can be displayed and printed. This eliminates the need to enter demo data from a keyboard or from an external storage device such as a Frochitix, which not only saves time, but also reduces the time it takes from starting operation to displaying or printing demo data. It can be significantly shortened. Furthermore, since the mode is set by operating a specific key, there is no possibility that a demonstration sentence will be output due to a key operation error by someone (such as a user) who does not know the operation.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the present invention includes an input means such as a keyboard, a first storage means (ROM) having a data area for storing a system program for editing control and a data area for storing text; The data area of the first storage means includes an editing control means for controlling editing, and a second storage means such as a text buffer in which text data is stored and various buffers configuring flags during editing processing. Since the text data stored in the input device is configured to be transferred to the second storage device by operating a specific key on the input device,
Since data can be directly retrieved from the ROM in the word processor itself, the time from the start of operation to display or printing can be significantly shortened. Furthermore, since the text is retrieved by operating a specific key, there is no possibility that the text will be output due to a key operation error by someone who does not know the operation.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A first storage means (ROM) having an input means such as a keyboard, an editing control system program and a data area for storing sentences, an editing control means for controlling editing according to the system program, and storing text data. and a second storage means consisting of various buffers constituting a text buffer to be edited and flags during editing processing, etc., the text data stored in the data area of the first storage means can be inputted using a specific key of the input means. A word processor characterized in that data is transferred to a second storage means by an operation.
