Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve an efficiency at the time of retrieving again by retrieving plural character strings by one operation during the edition of a document and applying a number which can be identified for every retrieved character string in the document when the coinciding retrieved character string is present. CONSTITUTION:A KANA (Japanese syllabary) KANJI (Chinese character) converting part 4 uses a converting dictionary 5 to convert the input character string to a notation character string, whether it is stored in a document storing part 6 or a retrieved character string chart storing part 7 is identified by a storing part discriminating flag 9 and the input character string is stored to the respective storing parts. A retrieval processing part 11 retrieves the retrieved character string in the document storing part 6 according to a retrieved character string chart storing part 7 and when the character string coinciding with the retrieved character string is detected, a retrieval mark is applied to the detected retrieved character string by a retrieval mark control part 12. Thereby, the efficiency in a second retrieval can be attained by retrieving the number of the applied retrieval mark in the second retrieval.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a Japanese document creation device.1, In particular, it is capable of searching a plurality of specified search strings from character strings in a created document in a single operation. , relates to a process of adding search marks that can identify individual character strings to matching searched character strings in a document.

Conventional technology When searching for multiple character strings in a conventionally created document, the operation of specifying just one character string to be searched and performing the search can be replaced by the search operation statement as many times as the type of character string to be searched. The common method was to repeat the process.

Sequential search processing is a little more advanced than this, but this processing searches a certain search string sequentially until the end of the sentence.
This is intended to eliminate the trouble of starting the search process over and over again. However, even with this method, only one type of search string can be searched at a time, and in order to search for other strings, the search string must be specified again and the search processing operation must be repeated.

Problems that the invention aims to solve Especially when editing books that consist of long sentences or documents that use many technical terms, it is possible to search for similar character strings9, or to search for strings with the same meaning all at once. There are cases where you want to do so. It is time-consuming for the operator to specify a search string each time, search for the desired string, and manually mark each searched string on the printed document.

In view of this, in the present invention, multiple searched strings are included in one list, and a single search operation is performed to search all the way to the end of the sentence, and the number specified in advance when creating the list of search strings is (different for each search string for identification) is added as a search mark to the matched search string, and the purpose is to improve the efficiency of the search process when searching again or replacing strings later. .

Means for solving the problem Consists of a means for inputting character strings and instructions to the device, a means for displaying the character string, a means for converting the input reading character string into a written character string, and a created character string. A means for storing a document in a document storage section in the device, a means for reading it, a means for creating a list of character strings to be searched and storing it as a list, and a match between the search character string and the character string to be searched in the document. This document creation device is equipped with a search means that takes the following characters, and is capable of attaching search marks that can identify individual character strings to searched character strings that match a search character string when executing a search process.

(Operation) According to the above-described configuration, the present invention searches for multiple character strings in one operation during document editing, and if a matching searched character string exists, identifies each searched character string in the document. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device that can increase efficiency when re-searching is performed later.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a document creation device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 designates an input device, including character keys 101 for characters and symbols to be created in a document, cursor movement keys 1o2 (upward cursor movement key, downward cursor movement key, leftward cursor movement key, rightward cursor movement key), A search start key 103 that starts searching for a character string in a document, a search list creation key 104 that creates a list of search strings, a re-search key 1o6 that causes a search to be performed again for a string that has been searched once, and instructions given. It is provided with an execution key 106 for executing the . It is provided with a release key 107 for canceling the given instruction.

Reference numeral 2 denotes an input control section, which analyzes input information from various keys input to the input device 1 and controls the device according to the results. 3 is a display device, which displays the content of the document being created, the characters entered on input device 1, a cursor that indicates the position where characters should be entered, and the status of the device and the next step. Guidance etc. are displayed to give the document creator instructions on what to do. 4 is a kana-kanji conversion unit, which converts the input character key information from the character key 101 into a shiki character string (
or foreign words). Reference numeral 6 is a conversion dictionary for kana-to-kanji conversion, and this conversion dictionary is used to perform kana-to-kanji conversion. Reference numeral 6 denotes a document storage section, which stores character codes and character arrangement information (tab, line feed, page break, etc.) regarding the document being created. Reference numeral 7 denotes a search string list storage section, which stores a plurality of search strings assigned numbers for identifying individual strings to be searched. Reference numeral 8 denotes a character position control unit, which inputs an arbitrary character in the document using the cursor control key 102 to instruct at which character position in the document storage unit 60 or the search character string list storage unit 7 to input the υ character. This can be done by Its position is indicated on the display device 3 by a cursor. This cursor can be moved arbitrarily using the cursor control key 102.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a storage unit determination flag, which is used to select whether the notation character string being input is to be stored in the document storage unit 6 or the search character string list storage unit 7. A display control unit 9 performs various controls for displaying on the display device a.

For example, transmission of cursor position information obtained from the character position control unit 8, document storage unit 6, or search character string list storage unit 7.
It cuts out a character string for one screen that can be displayed on the display device 3, instructs to display guidance, and so on. A search processing section 11 compares the search string stored in the search string storage section 7 with the searched string stored in the document storage section 6 to find a match. Reference numeral 12 denotes a search mark control unit which adds a search mark to a search character string stored in the search string list storage unit 7 for a searched character string in the document storage unit 6 for which a match has been detected by the search processing unit 11. The search number will be added along with the search mark.

Next, the operation of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be explained using FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, step 21 is a state in which the input control section 2 is waiting for input from the document creator through the input device 1. If the input information is from the character keys 101 and does not indicate the end of document creation, the process advances to step 22. In step 22, the kana-kanji conversion unit 4 is activated and uses the conversion dictionary 6 to convert the input character string into a written character string.

In step 23, it is determined by the storage unit discrimination flag 9 whether to store it in the document storage unit 6 or in the search character string list storage unit 7, and in step 24 and step 2
6, the data is stored in each storage unit.

The character position control section 8 adjusts the cursor position by the number of characters stored in the character storage section 6 in step 25, moves the cursor by the necessary amount, and displays it on the display device 3.

If the cursor exits the screen, display control unit 1
o is adjusted so that the cursor is displayed on the screen. The input key information in step 21 is the cursor control key 102
If so, the process advances to step 26, and the character position control section 8 selects the top,
Adjusts the character position according to the bottom, left, and right cursor directions. If the cursor that has been moved to the display device 3 cannot be displayed, the screen processing described above is performed, and then the process returns to step 21.

If the input information is the search list creation key 104, step 2
Proceed to 7. In step 27, depending on the status of the storage unit discrimination 7 lag 9, if the flag is off, it is turned on (step 28), and if it is on, it is turned off (step 29).
, are changed in a flip-flop manner and the process returns to step 21.

If the input information is the search start key 103, the process advances to step 30. In step 30, the search processing unit 11 is activated and starts searching for the searched character string in the document storage unit 6 according to the search character string list storage unit 7. If a character string matching the search character string is detected in step 31, a search mark is added to the detected character string in step 32. This addition processing is performed on the character string in the document storage section e, and although it is inserted into the document as control information, it does not appear as a print result when printing. Step 3
In the search process 0, all search strings stored in the search string list storage section 7 are searched. This series of processing is continued until the search processing reaches the end of the sentence in step 33. When the processing is finished, the process returns to step 21.

If the input information is the re-search key 105, the process advances to step 34. In the re-search, the number in the search mark given in step 32 is searched. Therefore, in step 34, the search number to be searched is input, and in step 36, the re-search process is started. This process is similar to the process performed by the search processing section 11. In step 36, it is determined whether a matching search number exists, and in step 37, this process is repeated until the end of the sentence.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the insertion state of the search mark added to the document in the document storage section e by the document storage section 6, the search string list storage section 7, and the search mark control section 12 after the search process. . Reference numeral 61 indicates the contents of the sentence/document storage section 6 before the search. Reference numeral 62 indicates the contents of the search string list storage section 7, and in this case, three types of search strings are used to perform the search simultaneously. A number 56 is assigned to each search character string 62 for identification. If the number 66 for identification is not given, a search mark without a number will be given. At the time of re-searching, after inputting the re-search key 105, a number 65 for identification is specified. In this case, the search is performed not by comparing character strings, but by comparing only one character, so it is expected that the processing speed will be increased.

As described in detail of the invention, according to this embodiment, (1) multiple search strings can be searched in one operation; ) By adding search marks that can identify individual character strings to documents, it is possible to improve the efficiency of re-searches, which has a great practical effect.
