The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to one drawing.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of the document processing device of the present invention, where 1 is document data recorded on a recording medium such as paper and input to the document processing device according to the present embodiment, and 2 is document data 1 An optical character reading device (OCR) serves as a document data input means for reading the text, 3 is a memory storing processing procedures, etc., which will be described later with reference to FIG. 4, and 4 is an input means for inputting keywords, commands, etc. It is a keyboard. 5 is a CP that executes the processing procedure stored in the memory 3;
U, 6 is a memory for storing the document data 1, 7 is a memory for registering keywords, 9 is a CRT for displaying the document data 1 and the processing results of this embodiment, etc.
8 is a refresh memory for temporarily storing display contents for display on the CRT 9; Further, PM is a memory for storing keywords, commands, etc. input from the keyboard 4, and uses a register of the CPU 5, for example.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the processing by the CPt 15 shown in FIG. In this example, the processing and processing order of the CPU 5 are stored in the memory 3, and the
It is read into CPU 5 by a request from 5,
The commands are executed sequentially, and this figure shows an outline thereof. In FIG. 0, 51 is a command analysis section, which analyzes the command when it is input from the keyboard 4. 52 is a keyword detection unit, and a command analysis unit 51
As a result of the analysis, if the input from the keyboard 4 is a keyword, that keyword is detected from the document stored in the memory 6. Reference numeral 53 denotes a position detection unit, which detects the position of the keyword detected by the keyword detection unit 52 in the document. This position detection is actually performed every time a keyword is detected, and the results are stored in the memory 7. Reference numeral 54 denotes an instruction graphic generation section, which adds, for example, an angle line to the keyword detected by the keyword detection section 52. 55
2 is a display switching unit, which performs switching between display (A) and display CB) shown in FIG. 5 (described later), for example.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a processing procedure according to this embodiment stored in the memory 3 and executed by the CPU 5.

First, when document data is input from 0CR2, the document data is stored in the memory 6 (step S1). Next, when a command, keyword, etc. is input from the keyboard 4, the input information is stored in the memory PM provided in the CPU 5 (step S2).
It is determined whether both sides of the RT9 are in a display state as shown in the display (B) shown in the fourth figure (step S3), and in the case of determination that the line is set, the display is switched to a state as shown in the display (A) in the same figure (step S3). Step 94'). Next, it is determined whether the input information is an end command for instructing the end of the process (step S5), and if the determination is affirmative, the process ends.

On the other hand, if the determination is negative, it is determined whether it is a display switching command (step SB).

If the determination is negative here, it is determined whether or not it is a keyword (step S7). If it is a keyword, the contents of the memory 7 are checked to see if it is a new keyword different from the previously input keyword. If the keyword is not a new keyword, the keyword is searched from the position on the document data currently being processed (step S9), while if it is a new keyword, the keyword is At the same time as registering in the memory 7, the number of keywords in the if document in the memory 6 is counted (step 10), and then keywords are searched from the beginning of the document in the memory 6 (step Sll).

When a keyword is found in this way, the position of the keyword in the document (page, line, column, etc.) and the number of the keyword are detected (step S12), and then it is displayed on the CRT 9 in the form shown in (A). Display is performed (step S13), and the process returns to step S2. Note that if it is determined in step S7 that the input is not a keyword, an error is displayed (step S14) because the input is neither a command nor a keyword, and the process returns to step S2. Furthermore, if it is determined in step S6 that it is a display switching command, the screen of the CRT 9 is switched to display CB) (step S15), and step S
Return to 2.

FIG. 5 shows the display output according to this embodiment, where l is the document data of FIG. 1, and 9 is a CRT. Reference numeral 91 indicates document data 1 displayed on the CRT 9. Reference numeral 92 indicates a keyword to which an angle line is added. 93 is a prompt indicating that a command or keyword is being input, and 94 is the input keyword. 95 to 97 indicate the positions of the keywords, and indicate the page, row, and column, respectively. Reference numeral 88 indicates the number of the currently displayed keyword, and reference numeral 89 indicates the total number of keywords in the document. 9A represents the keyword, 8B represents the keyword number, and 80 to 9E represent the page, row, and column of the keyword, respectively.

In this example, information 91 to 89 is displayed as display (A), and information 93.9A to 3E is displayed as a table as display (B).

In this embodiment, keywords are displayed with an underline added, but keywords can be easily recognized in the displayed document by, for example, changing the brightness or inverting the display. Of course, the mode does not matter.

Furthermore, in the embodiments, a case has been described in which a display means is used as an output means for performing search output, but a recording means such as a printer may be provided instead of a display means, or a recording means may be used in combination with a display means. It is also easy to print out the contents of the memory 7 or the display (B).

Moreover, by doing so, index creation can be performed extremely easily.
