Abstract

PURPOSE:To decide whether the words forming an idiom are correct or not by using an idiom dictionary memory storing plural idiom data. CONSTITUTION:The idiom data indicated by an idiom copying action is stored in an idiom memory (data train memory) among those word data supplied by an input means. Then, a retrieving means retrieves an idiom dictionary memory (information memory) storing plural idiom data for the idiom data stored in the idiom data. As a result, an alarm is produced when no idiom data is stored in the idiom dictionary memory.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document processing device equipped with an information memory, and in particular, searches the information memory for a specified data string among input data strings, and The present invention relates to a document processing device that outputs a result of the presence or absence of information corresponding to a document.

[Prior art]

In general, document processing devices such as electronic typewriters are equipped with a dictionary memory that stores a plurality of words in their control device, and when a separator key such as the space key is operated following an input word, the word is added to the dictionary. It is configured to search memory and check the spelling of words you type.

When a misspelled word is detected, an alarm such as a buzzer sounds, so that the operator can correct the misspelled word.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional electronic typewriter or the like equipped with a spell check function, input words can be spell checked.

However, when creating documents, idioms consisting of multiple words are often used. For example, there is an English idiom "by the way" that corresponds to the Japanese word "by the way." This idiom ``rby the way'' is ``rby'' incorrectly.
then way”, the spell check process will check each word “by”, “rthen”, “rway”
The incorrect idiom consisting of the correctly spelled words "by", rthenJ, rway4 "rby then way" is only checked for spelling.
There is a problem that a search is not performed for .

Furthermore, if an idiom copy function is provided in which the idiom is stored in the idiom memory and the idiom is copied and used many times by operating the idiom copy key that commands the copying of the idiom, the above-mentioned incorrect idiom " When "by then way" is copied and used many times using the idiom copy function, the operator must delete or correct all incorrect idioms, which requires a complicated operation. However, there are problems in that the operability is poor and work efficiency is reduced.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to search an information memory for a specified data string among input data strings (for example, idiom data, etc.), and output a result indicating the presence or absence of information corresponding to the data string. An object of the present invention is to provide a document processing device with good operability.

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 C via a data bus or the like.

The control device C includes a main CPU 39 and its main CPU 3.
9 through a data bus etc.
Only memory) 40, 43 and RAM (random)
access memory) 50.

The keyboard 3 is stored in the program memory 41 of the ROM 40.
A control program for controlling 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 spellchecker processing, a control program for idiom search control to be described later, etc. are stored. There is.

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.

In the idiom dictionary memory 43, a large amount of idiom data for spell checking of idioms is stored, sorted in alphabetical order along with the number of words making up each idiom, and in descending order of the number of words making up the idiom. .

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 typewriter mode, and data such as printed characters. Print data memory 5 that stores approximately 500 characters in sequence in correspondence with the print position
2, an input buffer for storing data such as characters input from the keyboard 3 or read from the text memory and displayed on the display 75 when in the memory mode (display mode); and a text for storing the input data as file data. In addition to memory and various memories that temporarily store the results of arithmetic processing by the main CPU 39,
A print data pointer 53 that searches for data at a specified address in a print data memory 52, and an idiom data memory 54 that stores idiom data when spell-checking an idiom specified by the print head.
An idiom memory 55 for storing idiom data for copying and printing idioms is provided.

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 and updates the data in the current position memory 51.

Further, when in the memory mode, the main CPU 39 stores the input data of the I-print line bone in the input buffer and displays it 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 reads out 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 the spell check mode, after inputting the character data of a word, if you operate a word separator key such as the space key 11 or the return key (however, symbol keys such as period, comma, colon, semicolon, etc. are included), the input word While checking each word in the dictionary memo IJ42, words with the same spelling are searched for.

When checking the spelling of an idiom, for each idiom consisting of a plurality of words in which words printed in the opposite printing direction are added by one word from the word indicated by the print head, the check is performed according to the number of words in the idiom dictionary memory 43. The same idiom is searched for by matching each idiom.

Next, the idiom search control carried out by the control device C of the electronic typewriter will be explained 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 Sl, and other steps are handled in the same way), where initial settings such as clearing each memory are executed, and the process goes to step S2. and wait for key human power.

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.

In S4, the input data is written to the print data memory 52, and the process moves to S5, where characters corresponding to the input data are printed, and the data in the current position memory 51 is updated as the print head moves, and the process moves to S2. Return to At this time, the main CPU 39 outputs control signals for each drive circuit of the printing mechanism PM.

82 to S5 are repeated and, for example, as shown in FIG.
yJ is printed and the print data memory 52 is shown in FIG.
As shown in b), the print data [byμthe欝Wa 3
1J is memorized. In addition, G is a space code, Ho
is the print head position.

When the printed character string is an idiom, when the idiom copy key 11 is operated in order to copy and print the idiom thereafter, the process moves from 32 to S3 to S6. If it is determined Yes in S6, the process moves to 37.

In S7, based on the data in the print data memory 52 and the data in the current position memory 51, it is determined whether there is data to be idiom copied from the print head position in the opposite printing direction, that is, print data, and if there is print data, it is determined. Move to S8.

In S8, the data in the current position memory 51 is written to the print data pointer 53, and the print data pointer 53 moves each data in the print data memory 52 from the currently indicated address by two words in the direction of the start address of the print data memory 52. , 3 words, 4 words, and so on, each time the number of words constituting the idiom is increased, the idiom is written into the idiom data memo IJ54, and the idiom dictionary memory 43 is searched for the idiom data in the idiom data memory 54. In the next step 89, it is determined whether or not there is an idiom that is the same as the idiom data in the idiom data memory 54, and if YES, the process moves to 510.

In SIO, the idiom data in the idiom data memory 54 is written into the idiom memory 55, and the process returns to S2. It is determined No in S7, or No in S9.
If it is determined that this is the case, the process moves to Sll, where alarm processing such as sounding a buzzer is performed, and the process returns to S2. For example, in Figure 5 (
As shown in bl, the address P indicated by the print data pointer 53.

First, the idiom "rthe way" is written into the idiom data memory 54, and the idiom rth
The idiom dictionary memory 43 is searched for ``e way'', and if the same idiom is not found, then the idiom dictionary memory 43 is searched for the idiom ``rby the way'', and if the same idiom is detected, this idiom ``rby the way'' is searched. It is written into the idiom memory 55.

Here, the number of words constituting the idiom for which the idiom dictionary memory 43 is searched is limited to a maximum of five words from the address indicated by the print data pointer 53.

In addition, following the idiom copy key 11, the number keys corresponding to the number of words constituting the idiom are operated,
The idiom dictionary memory 43 may be searched for the number of idioms specified by the number keys from the address specified by the print data pointer 53.

When the write key 12 is operated to print the idiom data, the process moves to S12 through steps 82 to S3 and S6.

If it is determined Yes in S12, the process moves to 813. S1
At step 3, the idiom data in the idiom memory 55 is printed from the current print head position, and the process returns to S2.

When a key other than the character key 10, the idiom copy key 11, or the light key 12 is operated, a negative determination is made in S12, the process moves to S14, the process corresponding to the operated key is executed, and the process returns to S2.

As explained above, for each printed word, misspelled words are detected by a separate spell check processing control, but when copying and printing an idiom consisting of multiple words for which no misspellings are detected, only the correct idiom is detected. Since the idiom is copied and printed, there is no need to correct the idiom, improving operability and work efficiency.

In the above embodiment, the idiom search control in the typewriter mode has been described, but this control may also be applied to the memory mode and the idiom dictionary memory 43 may be searched for the idiom indicated by the cursor instead of the print head. good.

Incidentally, in the above embodiments, idioms have been explained, but it goes without saying that the present invention can be similarly applied to control for searching for idioms, phrases, and the like.

In addition, although the above embodiment has been explained using an electronic type-like as an example, in a Japanese word processor, etc., idioms and phrases are registered in the user dictionary memory, and the input idioms and phrases are checked. It can also be similarly applied to the case of storing data in memory for copying.

In this case, the phrase is a fixed phrase such as "Dear Sir or Madam, Your company is working hard..." or an address.
