Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a screen control system for a display method that moves the screen when an instruction is given to scroll the screens that are being displayed in parallel.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] In recent years, computer systems have been used to convert Japanese text into English text and messages (
Various automatic translation systems such as Yu-translation have been proposed. This translation process creates a translated text by translating the document sentence by sentence (varnish cutting, - sentence by sentence). Therefore, it is useful to display the original text and the translated text in correspondence with each other on the display device attached to this system C2. .

If you want to see sentences outside the screen because the display does not fit 32 sentences, give instructions to the input section of the display device to scroll up or down, and scroll the original and translated sentences left and right (up and down while maintaining synchronization). It is necessary to move the display to

At that time, the characters of the corresponding sentence will vary depending on the national language. Some sentences will have more Z) and some will have fewer. Therefore, if you scroll down the corresponding sentences while always synchronizing them, depending on the amount of sentences, some sentences are all out of the screen area, and some sentences are almost out of the screen area, so the operator cannot see it. There was a problem that it would not work.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to display each item of a display form that is displayed in relation to each other under simple display control. When displaying (sentences) in parallel and moving the entire item in synchronization, items that are likely to protrude from the screen will not be moved outside the screen and the display area will be moved as long as there is room in the blank area between the items. The purpose is to provide a display method that can be used effectively.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention is characterized in that the ri number area C is divided into two screens, and within that area, items (text) C: are further separated by spaces, etc., and each item is in the same order between the areas. In normal scroll creation, each item in any area moves in sync with the other items, but when an item is about to go off-screen, there must be enough space between that item and the following item. When there is a separator such as a blank space, the extra area of the separator is deleted to control the display so that the item remains on the screen and other items move in synchronization with the whole. It is.

[Effect of the invention] Thus, according to the present invention C2, when there is a sufficient separator margin between items (sentences), by closing the margin area, the item itself can be kept out of the screen as much as possible. As a result, fewer screens can be used effectively, and the correspondence between items can be seen with less screen movement than in the conventional method [-
Become. Also, because the number of items on the screen to be moved is reduced, the time for displaying the back side is shortened. Furthermore, since the control is simple, great practical effects such as a reduced control burden can be achieved.

[Embodiments of the invention] - Below, with reference to the drawings, the screen control of the translation device will be described as an example C.
An embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an embodiment of the apparatus, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of display of an original text and a translated text on a display section. In this example, the above-mentioned area is the Japanese area, and the English area item has a sentence similar to the one shown in the diagram in both Japanese and English.

Q: In this example, we will explain how to input an English sentence and then translate it into a Japanese sentence.

The original text consisting of an English sentence given through the input unit 1 is stored in the original text storage unit 2C, and is then cut out, sentence by sentence, for example, and manually entered into the translation device main body 3. This one sentence extraction is performed by detecting a period or the like in the input character string, for example. A sentence number consisting of, for example, 1 to n is assigned to one cut out AC current (U), and the input original text is managed according to the sentence number C2, and the output to the translation device main body 3 is controlled.

The translation device body 3 extracts each word (phrase), for example, a word constituting a given fc original sentence (one sentence), by detecting spaces in the input character string, etc., and refers to the translation dictionary 4 to calculate each word C. The two corresponding translated words are searched, and simultaneously C: the above input original text is parsed. Then, using this syntactic analysis result, inappropriate translation candidates are excluded from among the translation candidates for each word, and the remaining translation candidates are combined as the translation processing result of the original sentence C: vs. I'm looking for it.

As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the display section 6 divides the display screen into two left and right parts, with the left side being an original text display area 5a for displaying the original text, and the right side being a translation display area 5a for displaying the translated text. This is defined as region 6b. The display section 6 inputs the sentence number (Y, therefore, the original sentence and the translated sentence, each of which is read out at about one sentence) from each of the storage sections 2 and 5 under the control of the original text display control section 7 and the translated text display control section 8. and each area 6a.

6b and C are displayed horizontally.

Incidentally, the sentence spacing control section 9 inputs the display control information etc. inputted through the input section 1, controls the reading of the original text and the translated text by each of the display control sections 7.8≦2, and performs the management as described above. This controls the display of each sentence.

FIG. 3(,) shows an example of the basic sequence of display control of the original text and its translation in the sentence control unit 9C. Waits for a command to change the display of the cursor keys, etc.

Then check whether it is a command for scrolling (step a). If it is a command other than scrolling, step b
The command is processed and the process ends.

Next, if the command is a scroll command, the process advances to FIG. 3(b) if the command is a scroll up command, and to FIG. 3(C) if the command is a scroll down command.

From now on, the explanation will be continued assuming that a scroll up command has been received. Next (1) In step C of FIG. 3(b), the sentence number of the sentence at the top position on the display screen is determined by the sentence management table (not shown) in C'-O in the sentence interval control section 9. Find the sentence number i.

Next, in step el-, it is determined from the sentence management table whether there is a blank line between the sentence number 1 and the top edge of the screen in the Japanese area, and this value is set to 10. Next, do the same thing in the English area and set this value as mo.

In the next step f, find at least two blank lines from the sentence management table between the sentence number (i+1) in the Japanese area C2 and the next sentence in C2. The number is calculated by subtracting the number of blank lines that can separate sentences on display (this is predetermined), and this value is set to 1. Let m be the number of lines in the English area ζ−, which was similarly calculated.

In step g, the number of lines determined in step e is 10゜mo
The value of is compared, and the comparison leads to the next step h.

l-Go forward.

If j' and m' both have values of 1 or more, it is determined that there is room for scrolling up, and in the next step h, the entire ζ2 is scrolled up by one line like normal scrolling, and the process ends.

If 10. If at least one of m' is 0, the next step ii is to determine whether both are 0. If both are 0, step j in Figure 3(d)
Otherwise go to step. When proceeding to step, judge which value is not 0, and if there is a blank line on the English side, judge whether there is enough blank line number 1 for the next sentence on the Japanese side.Step J -) If there is room, leave only the Japanese area with sentence number l as it is, and scroll up the other areas by one line. (English side is mo
〉There is a margin of C2 from 0, so the characters do not disappear off the screen) (Step h).

If 1=0 and there is no margin with the next sentence, the entire text is scrolled up by one line (step 0). In this case, one line disappears from the screen on the Japanese side, but only one blank line disappears on the English side, but the characters do not disappear.

Stair Fu k I return, this time, t'>o, m'
= o, if there is a blank line on the Japanese side and not on the English side C2, step m + - move, this time between the sentence with the next sentence number (i + 1) on the English side Determine if there is room for a blank line (step m), if not, scroll up the entire line by one line in step O, and if there is room, scroll up all sentences other than English in sentence number i (step p
).

Returning to step i again, this time we will explain the case where both 1° and mo are 0, that is, there is no 1° blank line between the Japanese and English areas and the top edge of the screen. In this case step j in Figure 3(d)
, compare the sizes of J and m, and proceed with steps q, r, sr accordingly.

If J is smaller than m, the English area of sentence number l is smaller than that of Japanese, so leave only the English area of sentence number I unchanged, and the Japanese area of sentence number 1 and the English area 9 other than sentence number I. Scroll up the Japanese area by one line. (
Step q) If m, step rl-advance sentence number i
Since the number of lines in English and Japanese is the same, if j=m=Q, the entire display area including sentence number i is scrolled up by one line (step U), and if j=m4Q, English9Japanese excluding sentence number i is scrolled up by one line. Scroll up both areas (step t).

If L)m, contrary to step h, only the Japanese area of sentence number i is not moved, and the English area of sentence number 1 and sentence code! Scroll up one line to the other Japanese and English areas (Step S). Then, the series of processing is completed.

The above is the flow of processing when scrolling up.
If step a in figure (a) is determined to be a scroll down command and the command advances by C2 after step d, as shown in figure 3(e) (
e) Instead of finding the sentence number i in the topmost area of the display area in step C as shown in FIG. In order to check the number of blank lines between sentence number i and (i+1), we calculate the number of blank lines between sentence number i' and the bottom edge of the screen, and the number of blank lines between sentence number i' and sentence number (i '-l), and the rest can be processed in the same way as when scrolling up.

The above will be further explained using FIG. 4. Figure 4 (a)
When a command to scroll up is received, the number of blank lines between sentence number 1 and the top edge of the screen and between sentence number 1 and sentence number 2 is checked. There is no space between sentence number 1 and the top edge of the screen, and the number of blank lines between sentence number 2 is 1 line on the English side and 3 lines on the Japanese side.

If the minimum number of lines that distinguish the area of sentence number 1 and sentence number 2 is predetermined to be one line in this example, then in this case, step e and step f in Figure 3 (b) -1 at C.
”, mo, 1 and m are respectively 1°=Q, m
'=0.2==3-1=2. m=1-1=O.

Therefore, in Fig. 3(b), go through steps g and i, and in Fig. 3(d), step j, sr, and scroll up by one line without moving only the Japanese side of sentence number 1, so the result is It becomes C as shown in Fig. 4(b).

When the next C roll up comes, the same process is performed.

This time, j=l and m=o, so as in the previous case, go to step sl2 and get the result as shown in (C) in the same figure.

If you scroll up further, this time L = 0゜m =
At step O, the process advances to step U, where the entire page is scrolled up by one line to 7,- as shown in FIG. 7(d).

Therefore, according to this method, even when a scroll instruction is received, the entire screen does not always move, and the items that are removed from the screen are kept to a minimum, so the number of times the operator has to operate an area larger than the screen size is reduced compared to conventional methods. It's bigger than the one.

Therefore, the workload can be significantly reduced, etc.
Great practical effects can be achieved.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.

In this example, we will take an example of a translated sentence, and the area will be Japanese and English, and each item will be the original sentence and the corresponding sentence (translated from that sentence) The same is true for enlarged ζ2 areas into 3 or 4 areas, as shown in C:C:, which is not limited to displaying translations, but has the area in two directions, up and down and left and right. C
