Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive the improvement of the operability of inputting sentence by displaying only the sentence inputted in a home television set in a maximum display rows and displaying simultaneously every kind of information necessary for input on the display device of the device side. CONSTITUTION:A display distribution means 7, which is operated by a signal outputted from a display selection means 6, allows a connected home television 5 to display the sentence inputted from a key input means 1 and the sentence stored in a sentence storage means 2. At the same time only various kinds of information stored in various kinds of information storage means 3 are displayed on a display means 4. Thus only inputted sentences are displayed on the home television in the maximum display rows and simultaneously all the information of various kinds necessary for input are displayed on the display means of the device.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention relates to a character processing device that performs character input processing or text editing in information processing, particularly when a home television is used as an external display device. This relates to the display method.

(B) Conventional technology In general, character processing devices that integrate a liquid crystal display with a keyboard or printer, and which can be connected to a home television, are Sentence ib and part of various information C input into television a
and nothing is displayed on the LCD display d in the device, or, as shown in Figure 4B, the -IEe of the sentence displayed on the home television a is displayed on the LCD display. The one shown in d is well known.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, in the above configuration, the home television a
While displaying the maximum number of lines that can be displayed, it was not possible to simultaneously check all of the various information necessary for inputting text, and it was necessary to operate specific keys to check.

This invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and allows the home television to display only the input text with the maximum number of display lines, and at the same time display all of the various information necessary for input using the device's display means. The purpose of this invention is to provide a character processing device with excellent operability that displays images on the screen.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems As clearly shown in FIG. 1, text storage means 2 for storing sentences inputted from the key input means 1, various information storage means 3 for storing various kinds of information required when inputting sentences, and displaying sentences and various information. Display means 4
and a display selection means 6 for selecting whether or not to display text on the connected home television 5;
This character processing device is characterized in that it is equipped with a display distribution means 7 for displaying sentences on the screen and for displaying only various information on the display means 4.

(E) Operation The display distribution means 7 is activated by a signal output from the display selection means 6, and the text input from the key input means I to the connected home television 5 and the text storage means 2
At the same time, only the various information stored in the various information storage means 3 is displayed on the display means 4.

(F) EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

In FIG. 2, numeral 10 denotes a display device, preferably a dot matrix liquid crystal display, for example, which displays characters composed of 16×16 dots.

Display device IO is connected to central processing unit 11 .

The central processing unit 11 is mainly composed of, for example, an 8-bit microcomputer, and runs programs stored in a ROM (not shown). Therefore, it has the function of controlling the text storage device 12, the various information storage device I3, and the printer 14, as well as editing the text input from the keyboard 15 and then storing it in the text storage device 12. Text storage device 2 is preferably a storage medium such as RAM, bubble memory, or a diskette. Further, the various information storage device 13 uses, for example, a ROM as a storage medium, and stores information for users corresponding to various crowd modes. 16 is an interface circuit that outputs a signal for display to a home television 17 installed outside, and the signal includes RF
This may be a double signal video signal or an RGB signal. In the above, the remaining components except the home television 17 are integrated to form the character processing device 18.

Next, this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B.

Normally, a character string (sentence) input from the keyboard 15 is stored in the text storage device 12 via the central processing unit 11 and displayed on the display device IO.

Here, when displaying text input to the connected home television 17, a specific key on the keyboard 15 (
For example, when the user operates the selection function key (selection function key), the human-written text is displayed in the maximum number of lines that can be displayed on the CR7 screen of the home television I7. In this case, for example, the third
As shown in Figure B, six lines of input text are displayed on the CRT screen. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3A, the display device lO in the main body of the device displays 8-type information about the character input mode (hiragana, katakana, alphanumeric, etc.) and the cursor position, which is the position where the character is entered manually. (-Number of characters,
Line feed pitch, paper size, etc.), layout display that allows confirmation of character arrangement on the entire paper, etc. are read out from the various information storage devices 13 and displayed. Display device 10
As the cursor moves, the various information displayed on the screen is constantly updated to reflect the position of the cursor. The distribution of the display is done by the central processing unit II, and the human-written text signal is sent to the home television 17 via the interface circuit 16.

In the above embodiment, the number of lines displayed on the home TV screen is 6 lines, but the number of lines may be changed to 8 lines or 10 lines as appropriate depending on the size of the characters. Also, regarding the characters displayed on the liquid crystal display,
For example, the characters may be composed of 24×24 dots, and may be selected and typed as appropriate depending on the size of the display screen of the liquid crystal display.

(g) Effects of the Invention According to this invention, only the text input into the home-use turpentine is displayed with the maximum number of display lines, and at the same time all the various information necessary for input is displayed on the display device of the device. A character processing device with improved input operability can be obtained.
