Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily identify the availability of a file, by displaying the ratio of a data storing quantity in a text file on a picture plane. CONSTITUTION:A text input data 10 inputted from a keyboard is stored in an input buffer 11 in a sequence of input. When the input buffer 11 is filled with the text input data, the text input data is sent to an editing means 12 in order, and after being edited, it is written on a filing device by a text file input/output control means 13. A display editing means 15 edits the data so as to display a data quantity on the input/output guidance area of a display device 16, and sends it to the display device 16, thereby, the availability of the file can be displayed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to the text file capacity of a file device,
Especially regarding the display method of file usage.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in this type of display method, when the amount of text file usage increases and the file capacity begins to overflow, a warning message is displayed on the display device.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional file capacity display method described above, it can be seen that the amount of data stored in a file has increased and the file has started to overflow, but the usage rate of the file is not displayed. Therefore, if the storage capacity of the text file is exceeded, the data that is being input and the remaining data must be stored in another file.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above drawbacks by displaying the data storage rate in a text file on the screen, so that the file usage rate can be easily identified and the usable rate of the text file can be easily understood. The purpose is to provide a method for displaying file capacity.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A file capacity display method according to the present invention is configured to include an editing control means, a file device, a processing control means, and a display means.

The editing control means is for dividing the display area on the screen into a data input area and a data input guidance area.

The file device is for storing input data.

The processing control means is for controlling input and output of data to and from the file device.

The display means is for displaying the data usage rate of the file device on the input guidance area.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a file capacity display method according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram specifically showing a device that implements each means in FIG. 1.

In FIG. 1, 10 is text input data, 11 is an input buffer, 12 is editing means, 13 is text file input/output control means, 14 is a character generator, 15 is display editing means, and 16 is a display device. In FIG. 2, 20 is a keyboard, 21 is a central control unit, 22
23 is a file device, 23 is a CRT control unit, 24 is a character generator, and 25 is a CRT.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, text input data 10 input using the keyboard 20 is stored in the input buffer 11 in the order of input.

When the input buffer 11 is filled with text input data 10, the text input data 10 are sequentially sent to the editing means 12. In the editing means 12, the display device 16
The text input data 10 is edited in accordance with the editing format corresponding to the screen configuration of , and is written to the file device by the text file input/output control means 13. On the other hand, the text file input/output control means 13 integrates the amount of data output to the text file and sends the value to the display editing means 15. The display editing means 15 edits the data so as to display the amount of data in the input guidance area of the display device 16, sends it to the display device 16, and displays the usage rate of the file.

As a method of expressing the display rate, for example, it may be expressed numerically, and when the usage amount reaches 90 inches of the file capacity, it may be highlighted to alert the operator.

In FIG. 2, the data processing device includes a central control unit 21,
It is composed of a CRT control section 23 and a character generator 24. A keyboard 20 and a file device 22 are connected to the central control unit 21 and input text data and store data. The input data is converted into a character pattern by the character generator 24, sent to the CRT 25 via the CRT control section 23, and displayed on the CRT 25.

The operation of the data processing device will be explained below. keyboard 2
When text data is manually input from 0 using the keys, the central control unit 21 edits the text data using the text information and sends it to the CRT control unit 23. Further, the data edited using text information is outputted to the file device 22 by the central control unit 21.

At this time, the central control section 21 integrates the output data amount, sends the result to the CRT control section 23, and sends the result to the CRT control section 23.
5 displays the text file usage rate.

3 and 4 respectively show the display device 16
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the usage rate of a text file is displayed.

Figure 3 shows how the file usage is displayed in the input guidance area. In this example, the usage rate is 50.
% case is shown. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the amount of files used has further increased to 90%. At this time, the value indicated by a is highlighted and displayed.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention makes it possible to easily identify the usage rate of a file and easily determine the remaining storage capacity of a text file by displaying the percentage of data storage capacity of a text file on the screen. There is an effect that can be seen.
