Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify inputting a line with contents the same as or similar to a line that has been inputted just before by modifying a cursor position after line inputting has been completed in response to a normal input mode in which lines are inputted and to a similar line input mode. CONSTITUTION:A similar line input mode setting means decides whether the similar line input mode is set or not when the similar line input mode setting means sets the similar line input mode and when a line feed key input decision means decides the input of a line feed key and decides whether a similar line input mode decision means inputs the line feed key. When the similar line input mode decision means decides that a cursor setting means sets the similar line input mode, a cursor is moved to the top of the inputted line. If the similar line input mode decision means decides that the similar line input mode is not set, the cursor is moved to the top of a line next to the inputted line.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a screen editing method, and particularly to a screen editing method using a screen editor in an information processing system such as a personal computer.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in this type of screen editing method, the cursor position after completion of line input is unconditionally positioned at the beginning of the line following the input line.

By the way, when inputting lines using the screen editor, if the contents of the line to be input are significantly different from the contents of the line input just before, as shown in Figure 5, all the lines that make up that line will be As you input new characters, if the contents of the input line are the same or similar to the line you input just before, as shown in Figure 6, you can use the contents of the line you input just before. It takes less time to operate the keyboard than re-entering all the contents; therefore, in the case shown in Figure 5, it is better to position the cursor at the beginning of the next line after completing the line input. In the case shown in FIG. 6, it is often desirable that the cursor be positioned at the beginning of the input line after the line input is completed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional screen editing method described above, the cursor position after completing line input is positioned at the beginning of the next line, so if you are inputting a line with different content from the line input immediately before, you must continue the input operation. However, when inputting a line with the same or similar content to the previous manually entered line, the operator must first move the cursor to the previous line and then perform the input operation. This method has the disadvantage of poor operability when inputting a line with the same or similar content as the previous input line.

In view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to easily perform an input operation without moving the cursor to the previous line when inputting a line with the same or similar content to a line manually input immediately before. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a screen editing method that allows users to edit the screen.

[Means for solving problems]

The screen editing method of the present invention includes a similar line input mode setting means for setting the 'R modest line input mode, a linefeed key input determination means for determining input of the linefeed key, and a linefeed key input determination means that determines whether the linefeed key is input. a similar line input mode determining means for determining whether a similar line input mode is set by the similar line input mode setting means when it is determined that a similar line input mode has been input; The cursor is positioned at the beginning of the input line when it is determined that the line input mode is set, and the cursor is input when the similar line input mode determining means determines that the H4Q line input mode is not set. and cursor setting means for positioning the cursor at the beginning of the next line.

[Effect]

In the screen editing method of the present invention, the similar line input mode setting means sets the similar line input mode, the line feed key input determining means determines the input of the line feed key, and the similar line input mode determining means determines the line feed key input determining means. When it is determined that the line feed key has been input, the similar line input mode setting means determines whether the similar line input mode is set, and the cursor setting means determines whether the similar line input mode is set by the similar line input mode determining means. When it is determined that the cursor is set, the cursor is placed at the beginning of the line where the cursor is input.When the similar line input mode determining means determines that the similar line input mode is not set, the cursor is placed on the next line of the line where the cursor is manually input. Position it at the beginning of.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information processing system to which a screen editing method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. This information processing system includes a central processing unit 1 and a storage device 2.
Its main parts are composed of a keyboard 3, a display device 4, and a screen editor 5.

Referring to FIG. 1, the processing in the screen editing method of this embodiment includes a key manual step 11, a similar line input mode setting key manual determination step 12, a similar line input mode determination step 13, and a normal input mode setting step. 14 and
Similar line input mode setting step 15, line feed key manual determination step 16, input key editing processing step 17,
Cursor position line entry step 18, H4Q line entry mode determination step 19, cursor input line start positioning step 20, cursor next line start positioning step 21
It consists of.

Note that normal input mode refers to a mode in which the cursor position after line input is completed is located at the beginning of the next line. On the other hand, similar line input mode is a mode in which the cursor position is located at the beginning of the next line after line input is completed. This is the mode located at the beginning of the input line.

Next, regarding the operation of the screen editing method of this embodiment configured as described above, FIGS. 3(a) to (C1) and FIG. 4(a)
l~(This will be explained with reference to C1.

First, from keyboard 3, use the similar line input mode setting key (M
A predetermined specific key for setting and canceling the eccentric input mode. (Same below) is pressed manually (step 11), it is determined whether the 1 operation input mode setting key is pressed manually (step 12),
After passing this determination with a yes, it is determined whether or not the current mode is similar waiting power mode (step 13) 1.
1 (J1 line input -), the normal input mode is set (step 14).If it is determined in step 13 that it is not the similar line input mode, the similar line input mode is set (step 15). )0 After setting the normal manual input mode or the similar line input mode, the process returns to step 11 and waits for the next key manual input.

In the normal input mode, when a key other than the similar line input mode setting key is pressed manually from the keyboard 3 (step 11), it is determined whether the input key is a line feed key (step 16). If the input key is other than the line feed key, the input key editing process is performed, such as echobanking the manually entered characters and displaying them on the display device 4 (step 17), and the process returns to step 11. .

By repeating this input key editing process,
For example, as shown in FIG.
Characters are sequentially input to the line where the upper cursor 7 is positioned, and one line of characters has been input.

When the line feed key is pressed manually from the keyboard 3 in this state, it is determined in step 16 that the input key is the line feed key, and the contents of the line where the cursor 7 is located are input (step 18). Then, it is determined whether or not the mode is similar line input mode (step 19), and since the mode is now normal manual mode, the cursor 7 is positioned at the beginning of the line next to the input line as shown in Figure 3). (step 21), and the process returns to step 11.

Therefore, as shown in tel in Figure 3, by manually inputting the contents of the next line, the contents of the next line will be displayed, and after the display is completed, by inputting the new line key, the next line will be displayed. The contents of are also input.

On the other hand, in the similar line input mode, if a key other than the similar line input mode setting key is pressed manually from the keyboard 3 (
Step 11) It is determined whether the input key is a new line key or not (step 16). If the input key is other than the new line key, the input key is echoed back. Editing of the input key, such as displaying it on the display device 4, is performed (step 17), and the process returns to step 11.

By repeating this input key process, for example, as shown in FIG. The characters for the minute will be entered.

When the line feed key is input from the keyboard 3 in this state, it is determined in step 16 that the input key is a line feed key, and the contents of the line where the cursor 7 is located are input (step 18). Next, it is determined whether or not the mode is the M line input mode (step 19), and since the mode is now the similar line input mode, the cursor 7 is positioned at the beginning of the input line as shown in FIG. 4 (bl). (Step 20
), return to step 11.

Therefore, as shown in Fig. 4(C), move the cursor 7 to the desired character and modify the contents of the previously input line to set the contents of the next line, and after completing the modification, press the line feed key manually. By doing so, the contents of that line will be input.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a similar line input mode setting means, a line feed key input determination means, a similar line input mode determination means, and a cursor setting means, and supports the normal input mode and the similar line input mode during line input. By making it possible to change the cursor position after line input is completed, it is easier to input lines with the same content as the line input just before, and input lines with similar content to the line input just before. There is an effect that can be done.
