Abstract

PURPOSE:To revise one block efficiently without complicated key operation by displaying a specified section in each block specified by attribute information corresponding to each block together with an original picture as an image. CONSTITUTION:In revising a block 33c, an image block attribute image is displayed on a CRT display device 23, command information is selected by a pointing device 27 and when a desired numeral is inputted by a keyboard 26, an image block attribute 38 is revised automatically and the revised block 33c is displayed again on the display device 23. Moreover, when no attribute is given as a page 22b, a document default list image is displayed on the display device 23, the device 27 and the keyboard 26 are operated to select default command information thereby inputting a numeral and revising the document default list, then the size, character interval and line interval of the page 22b are revised.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a terminal device having a mixed mode that processes image information and document information in blocks.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when specifying the size of one page of a manuscript, or the position and size of blocks to divide one page of manuscript into multiple blocks, input is made on the screen, for example, from the keyboard, as shown in Figure 10. The screen is configured to display numerical information corresponding to the entered input items. When changing the size of an already created block, etc., it is configured to be done by newly inputting numerical information.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] - However, only displaying item information such as block size, block position, initial offset, character spacing, and 9-line spacing does not actually indicate the size of the registered document or image. It is difficult to grasp the hard copy that has already been output, or after outputting the hard copy, you have to enter the information corresponding to the above items one by one. There was a problem in which it was not possible to modify or change the document or image on the page.

This invention was made to solve the above problem, and when modifying or changing the block attributes of each block of characters or images on a registered page, the characters or images of each block are displayed on the screen. By indicating the section defined by each attribute information corresponding to this character or image, it is possible to obtain a terminal device that can input attribute information while grasping the part corresponding to the attribute of each block to be corrected or changed as an image. purpose.

[Means for solving problems]

A terminal device according to the present invention is provided with attribute information image display means for displaying an image of a prescribed section within each block defined by attribute information corresponding to each block displayed on the display together with a document image. It is.

[Effect]

In this invention, when changing the mixed image information registered in the storage medium, the attribute information image display means displays the specified range of the attribute information that defines each block of the document image displayed on the display. Display the image along with the original image.

For example, the character block attribute image 43 shown in FIG. 7(a), that is, the layout input screen is displayed on the CRT display 23 (1). Here, the instruction information 44a to 44a displayed on the CRT display 23 together with the text data 34a is displayed. 44h is selected using the pointing device 27, and a desired numerical value is input using the keyboard 26 (2). For example, when the instruction information 44a is selected by the pointing device 27, the height of the block 33a can be changed. Next, a command for interrupting the change operation, i.e. an interrupt key (not shown)
3), if YES, C
Clear the character block attribute image 43 displayed on the RT display 23, that is, the layout input screen 4), and if NO, check whether the command to end the change operation, that is, whether the end key (not shown) has been pressed. Please judge 5), if NO, return to step (2),
If YES, in step (2) it is determined whether the numerical value entered from the keyboard 26 exceeds the preset value or is an incorrect input6), YES
If so, display an error message on the CRT display 23 (7) and return to step (2); if No, change the character block attributes shown in FIG. 5(b) based on the numerical value input in step (2). Update attribute information. Then,
The character block attribute image 43 displayed on the CRT display 23, that is, the layout input screen is cleared 8), the updated block 33a is redisplayed on the CRT display 23 9), and the control is ended.

When changing the block 33b, since the block 33b does not have block attributes, the document default value list image 41 is displayed on the CRT display 23.
is displayed, and the pointing device 27. By operating the keyboard 26, default value instruction information 42a to 42j
You can update the document default value list by selecting and entering a numerical value.

In addition, when changing the block 33c, display the image flock attribute image 45 on the CRT display 23, select instruction information 48a to 46e with the pointing device 27, and input a desired numerical value using the keyboard 26. The block attribute 38 is automatically updated, and the updated block 33c is redisplayed on the CRT display 23. Note that when the page 32b does not have attributes, the document default value list image 41 is displayed on the CRT display 23,
Operating the pointing device 27° keyboard 26, selecting the default value instruction information 42a to 42j,
By updating the document default value list by entering numerical values, the size, 9-character spacing, and 9-line spacing of the page 32b can be changed.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention provides an attribute information image that displays an image of a prescribed section within each block defined by attribute information corresponding to each block displayed on a display together with a document image. Since the display means is provided, the section defined by the attribute information can be changed while understanding it as an image for each block, so it has an excellent advantage of being able to efficiently change one block without complicated key operations.
