Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve an operability by providing a retrieval control means and outputting the same output as the case corresponding information is present in an information memory at the time of outputting character string data in a data buffer to a printing medium. CONSTITUTION:The inputted character data string is stored in the data buffer and outputted to an output medium by a buffer output means. At the time of retrieving the information memory by a retrieving means on the outputted character data string, the retrieving means is controlled so as to constantly output the same output as the case the information is present even when the corresponding information is not present in the information memory by the retrieval control means. Thereby, for instance, in a spelling check mode, at the time of copying and printing a word, when the word is not stored in a dictionary memory or a user dictionary memory, even if the word is a misspelled word, it is not alarmed by a buzzer, so that an input operation or an edition operation can be smoothly carried out without an interference by the buzzer at every time.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device, and in particular, when an information memory is searched for an input character data string, the same processing is performed as in the case where there is information corresponding to the data string. The present invention relates to a document processing device configured to output an output.

[Prior art]

Generally, as a document processing device, for example, a control device such as an electronic typewriter is equipped with a dictionary memory that stores a plurality of words as information memory, and when in typewriter mode, the words input from the keyboard are printed and processed for spell checking. You can also check the spelling while entering words from the keyboard when in memory mode.

In this case, if a misspelled word is detected, a buzzer or alarm lamp will alert the operator.

Some conventional typewriters have a copying function (word copying function) that allows you to repeatedly print words that have already been printed, but if you wish to switch to memory mode and copy while printing in typewriter mode. This required the cumbersome operation of memorizing the words and switching back to typewriter mode.

Therefore, the applicant of the present application developed an electronic typewriter (Japanese Patent Application No. 1982/2003) that can easily copy and print a series of data that has already been printed without changing the mode of the control system of the typewriter.
No. 7711) was proposed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the electronic typewriter according to the earlier application, desired words can be easily copied and printed. However, in spell check mode, if you use the copy function to repeatedly print a word that is not stored in the dictionary memory or user dictionary memory, such as a proper noun, a buzzer will sound each time the word is printed. There is a problem that the buzzer is annoying.

Furthermore, in order to avoid being warned by a buzzer each time a copy is printed, it is necessary to register the word in the user dictionary memory each time, resulting in a problem of lack of operability.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a system in which, when an information memory is searched for an input string of character data, the same output as when there is information corresponding to the string of data is output, so that inputting and editing operations can be performed smoothly. An object of the present invention is to provide a document processing device.

[Means for solving problems]

As shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the document processing device according to the present invention includes an input means for inputting character data, an output means for outputting the character data to an output medium based on the input of character data, an information memory storing information corresponding to a string of character data; a search means for searching for information corresponding to the input string of character data in the information memory and outputting the result; a data buffer for storing a character data string stored in the data buffer; a buffer output means for outputting the character data string in the data buffer to the output medium; and a search by the search means for the character data string output by the buffer output means. and search control means for controlling the search means to always output the same output as when the corresponding information is stored in the information memory.

[Effect]

In the document processing device according to the present invention, based on character data input by the input means, the character data is outputted to an output medium by the output means. Furthermore, the search means searches whether or not there is corresponding information in the information memory for the input character data string, and outputs the result.

Further, when the input character data string is stored in the data buffer, the character data string in the data buffer is outputted to the output medium by the buffer output means.

When the search means searches the information memory for the character data string output by the buffer output means, the search control means always outputs the same result as when there is no corresponding information in the information memory. The search means is controlled so that.

Note that if there is no corresponding information in the information memory as a result of searching for the output character data string by the search means, the character data string may be stored in the information memory by the search control means.

For example, if a word such as a proper noun that is not stored in the dictionary memory as information memory or user dictionary memory is stored in the data buffer in spell check mode, and the word is copied and printed using the word copy function, the word may be misspelled. Even words are not alarmed.

Furthermore, when a word such as a proper noun that is not stored in both dictionary memories is stored in the data buffer for copy printing, an alarm is not generated when the word is stored in the user dictionary memory and is copied and printed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the document processing device according to the present invention, as explained above, when character string data in the data buffer is output to a print medium, corresponding information may be stored in the information memory for the character string data. Since the same output is output, input work and editing work can be performed smoothly, and operability is improved.

For example, when copying and printing a word using the word copy function in spell check mode, if the word is not stored in the dictionary memory or user dictionary memory, the buzzer will not alert you even if the word is a misspelled word. No need to be bothered by buzzer every time,
You can perform input and editing tasks smoothly.

Furthermore, when the word is stored in the user dictionary,
There is no need to store the word in the user dictionary each time, improving operability.

and its driving circuit, printing ribbon 26 or correction ribbon 29
A ribbon switching mechanism for selectively arranging the ribbon at a printing position is provided, and this printing mechanism PM is similar to the printing mechanism of an ordinary electronic typewriter.

Next, the overall configuration of the control system of the electronic typewriter will be explained based on the block diagram of FIG.

A typewriter l basically has a keyboard 3 and a printing mechanism P.
The keyboard 3, printing mechanism PM, and display mechanism are connected to a main CPU (central processing unit) 39 of the control device via a data bus or the like.

The control device C includes a main CPU 39 and its main CPU 3.
The data storage system 9 is composed of a ROM (read only memory) 40 and a RAM (random access memory) 50 connected to the memory 9 via a data bus or the like.

The program memory 41 of the ROM 40 includes the keyboard 3.
A control program that controls the printing mechanism PM and display mechanism in response to code data input from each character key and various function keys, a control program for spell check processing,
A control program for search control, which will be described later, is also stored.

The dictionary memory 42 of the ROM 40 stores, for example, data related to approximately 70,000 words classified in alphabetical order, like a normal dictionary, for the purpose of checking the spelling of words.

The RAM 50 includes a current position memory 51 that sequentially updates and stores the current position of the carriage 22 (print head) from the absolute origin in correspondence with the print position when in print mode, and data such as printed characters. A print data memory 52 that stores approximately 500 characters in sequence in correspondence with positions, and a print data memory 52 that stores approximately 500 characters in sequence in correspondence with positions, and a print data memory 52 that stores characters, etc. input from the keyboard 3 or read from the text memory and displayed on the display 75 when in memory mode (display mode). An input buffer that stores data, a text memory that stores input data as file data, a user dictionary memory 53 that can freely register and delete words such as proper nouns that are not stored in the dictionary memory 42, and arithmetic processing by the main CPU 39. In addition to various memories that temporarily store the results of the spell check, there is also a word data memory 54 that stores the latest word data input for spell checking or word data instructed by the print head, and a word copy key 12 that is operated. A word memory 55 or the like is provided for temporarily storing word data to be instructed by the print head when the print head is pressed.

When in the typewriter mode, the main CPU 39 causes the printing mechanism PM to print characters/symbols corresponding to data input from each character key based on the control program, associates the print data with the print position, and stores the print data in the print data memory. 52 sequentially.

In addition, when in the memory mode, the main CPU 39 causes the input data for one print line to be stored in the input cover and displayed on the display 75, and stores the data for one line in the text memory in response to the operation of the return key. .

The display mechanism includes an interface 70 and a display CPU 7.
1, a character generator 72, a display controller 73, and a liquid crystal display 75, which are connected as shown.

Approximately 400 types of dot matrix display data are stored in the character generator 72 in correspondence with code data in order to display characters and symbols on the display 75.

The display CPU 71 continuously outputs display data corresponding to command data and character data output from the main CPU 39 via the interface 70 from the character generator 72, and outputs the display data to the display controller 73. The display controller 73 writes display data into the display RAM 74 and at the same time outputs a display signal corresponding to the display data to the display 75. Furthermore, the display CPU 71 also performs cursor movement control that instructs the display controller 73 of the address to which the cursor should be moved, in response to cursor movement data from the main CPU 39 via the interface 70.

When in spell check mode, after inputting the character data of a word, if you operate the word separator keys such as the space key 11 or the return key (however, symbol keys such as period, comma, colon, semicolon, etc. are also included), the input Dictionary memo IJ42 and user dictionary memory 5 about words
Words with the same spelling are searched for by checking each word in 3. If a word with the same spelling as the input word does not exist, the operator is alerted to the spelling error.

This spell check process is similar to the existing spell check process, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.

Next, a search control routine performed by the electronic typewriter control device C will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

When the typewriter is powered on, this control starts and moves to step Sl (hereinafter simply referred to as 81, other steps are handled in the same way), where initial settings such as clearing each memory are executed, and then the process moves to S2. Migration and waiting for key personnel.

When a key is operated, the process moves to 83, and it is determined whether or not it is the character key 10. If it is the character key 10, the process moves to S4, and the data corresponding to the operated character key 10 is stored in the print data memory 52 and the word data memory. 54, the process moves to S5, characters corresponding to the input data are printed, and the data currently in the memory 51 is updated as the print head moves, and the process returns to S2. At this time, the main CPU 39
outputs a control signal to each drive circuit of the printing mechanism PM. Then, steps 82 to S5 are repeated to print the character string (word).

When a word separation key such as the space key 11 is operated, the process moves to S6 through steps 82 to S3. Yes in S6
If it is determined that this is the case, the process moves to 87 and the process corresponding to the delimiter key is executed. In the next step 88, the input word is spell checked based on the data in the dictionary memory 42 and the user dictionary memory 55, and the data in the word data memory 57, and in S9 it is determined whether there is a misspelling, and the answer is Yes. When this happens, the process shifts to SIO. 31
At 0, alarm processing such as sounding a buzzer or lighting an alarm lamp is performed, and the process returns to S2.

If NO is determined in S9, that is, if there is no misspelling, the process returns to S2.

When the word copy key 12 is operated, 82 to S3・S
6 and then moves to Sll. If the determination is Yes in Sll, the process moves to 312. In S12, word data designated by the print head of the print data memory 52 is stored in the word memory 55 based on the data of the print data memory 52 and the data of the current position memory 51. In the next step 813, the data in the word memory 55 is checked based on the data in the dictionary memory 42 and the data in the user dictionary memory 53, and when a misspelling is detected, that is, the word data in the word memory 55 is checked in both dictionaries. If neither of the memories 42 and 53 has it, the process moves to S14, the word data in the word memory 55 is stored in the user dictionary memory 53, and the process returns to S2. Ye in 513
If it is determined as s, the process returns to S2.

When the registration key 13 is operated, S2 to S3, S6, Sl
1 and then proceeds to S15. If it is determined Yes in S15, the process moves to 316. In S16, word data instructed by the print head of the print data memory 52 is stored in the word data memory 54 based on the data of the print data memory 52 and the data of the current position memory 51, and the word data specified by the print head of the print data memory 52 is stored in the word data memory 54.
If the word data in the word data memory 54 is not stored in both dictionary memories 42 and 53 after S14, the word data is stored in the user dictionary memory 53, and the process returns to S2.

When the light key 14 is operated, 32 to S3, S6, S
The process moves to S17 via ll.315.

If the determination is Yes in S17, the process moves to 318.

At 31B, the data in word memory 55 is printed from the current print head position, and the process returns to S2.

When the word delete key 15 is operated, S2 to S3.
The process moves to S19 via S6, Sll, S15, and S17. If the determination is Yes in S19, the process moves to 320. At 320, the user dictionary memory 53 is searched for the word data in the word memory 55, and it is determined whether or not the word data is stored in the user dictionary memory 53. If it is stored, the process moves to S21.

In S21, based on the data in the word memory 55,
Word data similar to the word data in the word memory 55 is erased (deleted) from the user dictionary memory 53, the process moves to S22, the data in the word memory 55 is cleared, and the process proceeds to S2.
Return to

If the determination is No in S20, the data in the word memory 55 is cleared in 322 and the process returns to S2.

When the determination in step 319 is No, the process moves to S23, the process corresponding to each operated mechanical key is executed, and the process returns to S2.

As explained above, when the word copy key 12 is operated to store a word to be copied and printed, if the word is not stored in either of the dictionary memories 42 and 53, the word is stored in the user dictionary memory 53. is memorized.

For example, when copying and printing a special word such as a proper noun, the word is automatically written to the user dictionary memory 53 by operating the word copy key 12, so even if the word is printed from the second time onward, the word is automatically written to the user dictionary memory 53. not detected as a misspelling,
Input work and editing work can be performed smoothly without being bothered by buzzers or the like.

In the above embodiment, the case where this search control is applied to the typewriter mode has been explained, but it is applied to the memory mode, and the word specified by the cursor instead of the print head is not searched in either of the dictionary memories 42 or 53. When the word is not stored, the word may be written into the user dictionary memory 53.

In the above embodiment, the words specified by the print head were explained, but an idiom copy key is provided separately, and the idiom copy key is provided separately.
Operate the idiom copy key twice, once when the print head is positioned at the first character position of the idiom (idiom), and when the print head is positioned at the last character position of the idiom, and the idiom data that is sandwiched between the idiom copy keys is stored in the word memory 55, and the user dictionary memory 5
3 may be stored.

In the above embodiment, when the word copy key 12 is operated and the word data stored in the word memory 55 is not stored in both dictionary memories 42 and 53, the word data is stored in the user dictionary memory 53. When the word data in the word memory 55 is printed by operating the light key 14 without storing the dictionary data in the user dictionary memory 53, the spell check process may not be performed and an alarm may not be generated.
