Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] - (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention provides a system for adjusting display content at a specified position on a display screen using a coordinate input mechanism for specifying an arbitrary position on the display screen. It is equipped with an input means for inputting unique information and an image scanner for inputting image information, and by selecting a command on the menu bar displayed on the display screen using the input means, a pull-down menu is displayed. This relates to a data processing device configured to display a property sheet by selecting a menu using the input means described above, and execute an operation according to the command described above after completing the settings of the sheet. In particular, when creating an area, The present invention relates to a data processing device in which each property sheet used during various operations such as image input and image storage has a learning function.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in document creation devices such as Japanese word processors that have a wide range of document processing capabilities, emphasis has naturally been placed on word processing, and emphasis has been placed on processing non-code information, especially image processing. However, most devices do not have this processing function.

On the other hand, in recent years, with the progress of office automation, there has been a demand for devices that can process images in addition to document information.

Therefore, in recent years, devices that can handle both text and images have been developed, but conventional devices of this type, for example,
When you want to call up an image in the middle of editing a text, you need to switch the processing mode to image processing mode after text processing has finished, and then switch back to text processing from image processing using almost the same switching operation. The operation was complicated and work errors were likely to occur, and there were also problems in terms of work efficiency.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in conventional devices, when text processing and image processing are to be executed simultaneously, the operation for switching the processing target is complicated, and the workability is poor. This method has the disadvantage that it can easily lead to work errors.

The present invention displays a menu bar on the display screen, displays a pull-down menu by selecting a command from the menu bar, displays a property sheet by selecting a command from the pull-down menu, and after completing the setting of the It has a processing function that executes actions according to commands, and also has a learning aspect to the property sheet mentioned above, making it easy to input and edit text and other images at the same time. The present invention provides a data processing device that can perform operations quickly.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention inputs information specific to display content at a specified position on the display screen using a coordinate input mechanism for specifying an arbitrary position on the display screen. an image scanner for inputting image information, an external memory for storing image information input from the image scanner, and an internal memory having a system initial information area, and a menu bar on the display screen. is displayed, a pull-down menu is displayed by selecting a command on the same menu bar using the above input means, a property sheet is displayed by selecting the same pull-down menu using the above input means, and after the setting of the sheet is completed. , the data processing device that executes the operation according to the above command reads the information registered in the above system initial information area by selecting the command from the above menu bar or pull-down menu, and according to the same information, the data processing device executes the operation according to the above command. A means for selectively displaying a property sheet for creating an area, a property sheet for inputting an image, or a property sheet for saving an image in which setting items are specified as initial values, and When a setting item that is not in a display state is selected, means for displaying the selected setting item as a specific display and canceling the specific display of other setting items within the same selection target;
and a means for registering the setting information in the system initial information area upon completion of the setting of the displayed property sheet, and each time the property sheet is displayed, the initial setting contents of the corresponding property sheet are updated to the latest setting contents. The configuration includes a learning function for rewriting property sheets.

(Function) When the processing target is switched by selection operation on the menu bar, pull-down menu, etc., property sheets corresponding to the processing task, such as area creation, image input, and image storage, are selectively displayed and the same property sheet is displayed. When the initial settings of the displayed property sheet need to be changed, only that item is selectively changed and the item setting operation is completed. Upon completion of this item setting, the above setting contents are saved in the system initial area and displayed as initial information the next time it is used. By switching the operation target using the menu bar and pull-down menu and the learning function of the property sheet, it is possible to simplify operations when editing text and images, including changing items on the property sheet. When inputting and editing images simultaneously, the process can be done quickly and easily.

Here, the operation of one embodiment will be explained with reference to the above figures.

First, the operation from power-on until the initial screen is displayed will be explained according to the flowchart of FIG. 41.

When the device is powered on, a self-diagnostic test is first performed under the control of the CPU to ensure that the device internals are operating normally.

Normally, a CRT display device cannot display images immediately after power is turned on, and requires a waiting time of several seconds. This test is conducted using this waiting time and does not interfere with operation. However, is it better to test all hardware openings? Il
Since this is expensive, ROM and RAM are generally tested (step A11 in FIG. 41).

If an abnormality is found in this test, a message to that effect is displayed on the CRT display 8 to warn the operator (steps A11 and A17 in FIG. 41).

Also, if it is normal, the next step is to check the connection status of the connected external device (steps A12 and A13 in Figure 41).
.

If the connection status is normal, the initial screen as shown in Figure 5 will be displayed, and the operator will be waiting for instructions to be input (see Figure 4).
Figure 1 Step A14. A15). If the condition is not normal, a warning message is displayed and an initial screen is displayed (steps A14 and A16 in FIG. 41).

In this initial screen display state, the cursor mark 504 on the display screen moves as the mouse 6 is moved, points to the 1st meaning icon 501 with the cursor, and presses the mouse 6 Ls (left button). By performing a single-click operation, it is possible to select one desired icon.

Here, for example, operate the mouse 6 to select the cursor mark 50.

By moving up and operating Ls (single click of the left button), the processing mode shifts to "'operation'".

The operation of the "" operation pad on this menu bar (MB) will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 42.

Before ``operation°'' is selected, the target of the operation must be determined.This will be described later.

That is, the basic operation of the apparatus of the present invention is always to first specify what to do, and then to instruct what to do.

Here, we will explain what to do above.

First, specify the "operation" button on the menu bar (MB) 502 and press the left button (L) of the mouse 6. This will select "operation".

Figure 2 step 811). At this time, the overlapping part of the display on the screen for displaying the pull-down menu is the video memory 7.
It is saved to work 'JJH in 1. Then, when the pull-down menu is deleted later, the saved screen information is restored.

While holding down the left button (L) of the mouse 6, move the mouse 6 to select the pull-down menu 503. As a result, the specified command in the pull-down menu is displayed in reverse video according to the movement of the cursor (steps [312 to B15 in FIG. 42). At this time, even if the cursor points outside the pull-down command frame, the highlighted display will not change.

With the desired command highlighted, press mouse 6
By releasing the left button (L), that command is selected, the pull-down menu is cleared, and the original screen is then restored (Step 81 in Figure 42).

Here, when the oven command is selected (step B17 in FIG. 42), the operation differs depending on the object to be opened. This will be explained in detail in the flowcharts starting from (Part 2) in the same figure.

If the close command is selected, the target is closed (step 818°B19 in FIG. 42).

Next, the target icon or icon-W is deleted (step B20 in FIG. 42).

In Figure 43, move the mouse 6 to point to the scanner icon on the initial screen, and Ls (single click the left button).
It is used to instruct input from the image scanner 14 by performing an operation.

At this time, the designated icon 501 is displayed in reverse video and becomes the target of the operation panel (steps C11 to C13 in Figure 43).
). At this point, the object of the "operation" can be changed. Place the cursor on the desired icon and press mouse 6 Ls
When you (single-click the left button), the highlighted icon returns to normal display, and the newly specified icon becomes highlighted. That is, as mentioned above, it is a matter of selecting what to do.

When this scanner icon 501 is selected, and the aforementioned "operation" and then "open" are selected, the menu bar changes from an icon operation menu bar to an image processing menu bar, and a work view for image processing is opened. be done.

The frame size of this work view can be changed using the enlargement/reduction function described later, but as an initial display, the area DB shown in Fig. 17 and the screen shown in Fig. 22 are displayed on the right half of

At this time, if the document view has already been opened, the size of the frame of the document view is adjusted so that the screen size of the branch view and the work view are the same. If opening a work view does not impact the size of the document view frame, it will remain as it is.

Next, a property sheet for image input is displayed at the bottom right of the screen as shown in Figure 17 as area DC, and each
Used for setting parameters.

FIG. 44 is a flowchart for explaining the operation when inputting image information from an external storage device.

As explained on the initial screen, various devices are supported here as external storage devices. One of these external storage 4a device icons (here, fixed disk/
By specifying the cartridge disk/optical disk/floppy disk) 501 with the cursor and pressing Ls (single click of the left button) on the mouse 6, the specified icon is highlighted and becomes the target of the above-mentioned "operation". (Steps D11 to D13 in Figure 44).When this external storage device icon is selected and the aforementioned ``operation'' and ``Open'' are selected, the directory is read from the target external storage device and a list of folders is displayed. and the icon is deleted (steps 341 to B43 in FIG. 42).

FIGS. 45 and 46 are flowcharts illustrating the operations up to displaying a document.

A document in the device according to the present invention has a hierarchical structure.

Further, a plurality of document folders can be stored in the eight external storage locations.

A plurality of documents are stored in the document folder. or,
Sentence J is composed of multiple pages. All of these are designed to facilitate document retrieval.

FIGS. 47 and 48 are flowcharts illustrating the operations up to displaying an image in the work view.

Images in the device according to the present invention have a hierarchical structure. Furthermore, images stored in the external storage device have image names added to them.

This image name can be set as a group name, which is very convenient when searching for images.

When the group name list is displayed as shown in Figure 14 (when no quadruple words are specified) or Figure 15 (when confidential words are specified), point the cursor to the group name icon and press the mouse 6 8 (Single click left button)
When operated, the icon is selected and displayed in reverse video, and becomes the target of the above-mentioned "operation" (steps (311 to G13 in FIG. 47). When this icon is specified, the "operation" is performed.

When an oven is selected, a list of image names included in the group name as shown in FIG. 16 is displayed (steps 830 to B55 in FIG. 42).

Spaces are also allowed in group names here.

When the image name list as shown in Figure 16 is displayed, point the cursor to the image name icon and press the mouse button 6.
When you operate Ls (single-click the left button), that icon is selected, highlighted, and becomes the target of the previous) operation.This icon is specified and the oven is When selected, the image information according to the specification is displayed in the work view shown in Fig. 22. Along with this, the icon list is deleted (
Steps 336 to B40 in FIG. 42).

FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing the processing flow related to the operation of the icon viewing area.

Here, due to screen size constraints, only up to 15 icons can be displayed at one time, as shown in FIG. 10.

It is well known that there are generally 16 or more icons, and for this reason, there are "previous page" and "next page" marks (PaSPN) as page operation marks.

Here, as shown in FIG. 10, 15 icons are sequentially displayed as a unit. At this time, the icon-list display area 1
The page number currently being displayed is displayed at the upper right corner of 01. Also, "previous page", next page mark (PB).

Scrolling beyond the page size is not possible.

The marks on the four sides of the document view indicated by diagonal lines in FIG. 20 indicate which part of the input image information is displayed in the document view, and are updated each time the document view is scrolled.

Further, during the scrolling operation, if further scrolling is not possible (the limit has been reached), the scroll mark (SC) is erased to prevent further scrolling and also as a warning. This mark (SC) will be displayed again when the limiting condition is no longer present.

FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing the processing flow related to page turning in the document view.

By operating the "previous page" and "next page" marks (Pa, PN) at the four corners of the document view shown in FIG. -1 page and +1 page can be displayed with respect to the middle page (steps 11 to 14 in FIG. 51, or 11.K12.K18).

At this time, if the currently displayed page is the first page, the "previous page" mark (PB) is replaced with a space, and if it is the last page, the "next page" mark (PN) is replaced with a space. (16. K17. K in step 51)
20. K22).

This serves both to prevent erroneous operations and to provide guidance to the operator. Furthermore, the display area indicator indicated by diagonal lines in the figure is also updated each time the page is turned (Step 15.K19 in Figure 51).

FIG. 52 is a flowchart showing the processing flow related to scrolling of the work view.

In the work view on the screen shown in FIG. 22, input images are displayed on a one-to-one basis in accordance with the resolution of the input image information.

Generally, A4 size image information has a resolution of 8 lines/
The limit is a huge amount of 1,680 dots horizontally x 2,376 dots vertically, which is impossible to display on a single screen on a normal display.

For this purpose, scroll steps in the horizontal and vertical directions are essential.

By placing the cursor on the "↑", "↓", "Pa, "←'° marks (SC) at the four corners of the work view shown in FIG. Figure (a).

As shown in (b), the work view can be scrolled vertically and horizontally in units of one dot (Fig. 52, Step 1).
11-L46).

Now press and hold the left button of mouse 6 (
Lh operation) allows continuous scrolling (
Fig. 52 Step L16~L21°L22~127.1
31-L36. shi41~shi4G).

At this time, it is impossible to scroll beyond the input size limit. The same applies when the input size is smaller than the work view.

In Figure 23, the diagonal lines on the four sides of the working view (displayed in black on the display screen) indicate which part of the input image information is displayed in the working view. Yes, and updated every time it is scrolled.

FIG. 53 is a flowchart showing a processing flow related to enlarging/reducing a work view.

Enlarging/reducing the working view does not involve enlarging/reducing the input image information itself, but rather changes the size of the working view as a display window.

When saving, etc., the range displayed in this work view is valid.

Place the cursor on one of the enlargement/reduction marks LS, LS, etc. at the four corners of the work view shown in Figs. 22 and 23, press the left button of the mouse 6, and then If you move the cursor while holding down the same button (Lh operation), the same mark will be displayed following the current value of the cursor. That is, as a result, the working view as a display window is enlarged/ill reduced as shown in FIGS. .Also, it is impossible to enlarge beyond the screen size (No. 53)
Figure steps M11 to M44).

In FIG. 24, marks indicated by diagonal lines on the four sides of the work view are marks for scrolling and studs.

FIGS. 54 and 55 are flowcharts showing the processing flow when setting an image area within a document.

Here, first, an image frame is set within the document page.

When the left button (L) of the mouse 6 is pressed within the document, the specified coordinate point becomes one point of the frame, as shown in FIG. From then on, this coordinate point will be fixed (step N in Figure 54).
11). Then, as similarly shown in FIG. 27, by moving the cursor while holding down the button (L) of the mouse 6, another point changes. The area frame follows this change. When the button on the mouse 6 is released, the area frame becomes fixed (steps N12 to N18 in FIG. 54).

You can also move the cursor to set the frame,
At the stage when the latest area frame is set, the previous area frame is deleted. That is, there is only one current mbI frame on the screen.

After setting the area, select "Create Area" on the menu bar, and a pull-down menu (PDM) as shown in Figure 27 will be displayed (Step 01 in Figure 55).
1). By selecting this pull-down menu, you can define the type of area (steps 012 to 0 in Figure 55).
23). The relationship between the menu bar, pull-down menu, and property sheet at this time is shown in FIG.

FIG. 55 shows a processing flow when defining an image area.

By selecting "Image" from the pull-down menu, the menu becomes a menu bar for image processing as shown in FIG. 7(f).

Also, at this time, a work view for image processing is opened.

This working view is expanded as described above//l! Its size can be changed using the il small function, but in the initial display, the right half of the screen is fixed as described above (see FIG. 17).

FIG. 56 is a flowchart for explaining the setting process of a property sheet for setting an image area.

Here, as the frame line of the image frame as the area, the 28th
Various line types can be selected as shown in the area creation property sheet in the figure. Furthermore, in this case, the line type and its thickness can be set separately.

In FIG. 28, the shaded area is selected as the initial display and is displayed in reverse.

If you do not need to change this setting, you can leave it as is and select ``Complete''. Also, if you want to change it, place the cursor on the input frame of the item you want to change and press mouse 6 Ls.
(single-click the left button), the highlighted display changes to the specified one (step P15 in Figure 56).
．． PI3. PI3. PI3).

When the changes are complete, select "Finish" in the same way as above.

When "Complete" is selected, the specified frame line is displayed at the specified frame position (step N11 in Fig. 54, P22.
P2O).

The information of this property sheet is registered in the system initial information 911e secured in advance in the main memory 2, and is used for initial display when displaying this property sheet from now on (Steps P24 and P25 in Fig. 56). . In other words, the latest selected information is always displayed.

FIG. 57 is a flowchart showing a processing flow related to image input from various devices.

Point to “Input” on the menu bar and press the left button of mouse 6 (
By pressing L), a pull-down menu (PDM) regarding input is displayed as shown in FIG.

FIG. 29 shows the relationship between the menu bar, pull-down menu, and property sheet of the cover in this case.

By selecting an arbitrary pull-down menu command from the pull-down menu and releasing the left button (L) of the mouse 6, the command is selected and the pull-down menu is deleted.

For example, if "for image scanner" is selected, the display area (
DC), a property sheet for the image scanner as shown in FIG. 31(a) is displayed, and the input settings are awaited (steps N11, Q12, Q1 in FIG. 54).
6-Q19. Q23). Here, if the unit is IJ'' with manual setting, the display will be as shown in Figure 31 (b), and if the hand vJ' = 2 constant and the unit is inch, the display will be as shown in Figure 31 (C). It will be in display state.

Also, if any of the external storage devices is selected,
A dedicated property sheet as shown in Figure 32 is displayed in the property sheet display area (DC), and has its input settings (Steps Q20 to Q2 in Figure 57).
3). Here, FIG. 32(a) shows the case where the secret word designation is unnecessary, and FIG. 32(b) shows the case where the secret word designation is necessary.
) indicate cases where only the confidential word is required.

In addition to inputting image data, the following pull-down menu is provided for operating the work view.

If you specify "Redisplay", a property sheet as shown in Figure 33 will be displayed, and you can select the image that was stacked by closing the work view and display it again in the work view (Figure 57, step Q3+~ Q37).However, if there is no image information already displayed in the work view or stacked, this command operation will be invalid.Here, Fig. 33(a) shows that when the stack area is empty, b) and (C) are cases in which there is image information in each stack area (in Figure (b), stack number 1.2 is in use, and stack number 2 is highlighted because it has been used most recently). In addition, FIG. 3C shows that the stack area is full and stack number 4 is highlighted because it is the most recently used stack area.

``When the initialization parameter is specified, the display of the work view is cleared (Steps Q38 and Q39 in Figure 57).

Also, when "close °' is specified, image information is stacked and the working view is deleted as instructed on the property sheet.

Figure 34 shows the property sheet when ° "closed" is specified, and Figure 34 (a) shows that when the stack area is empty,
b) and (c) are cases in which the stack areas are already in use, and in figure (b), stack number 3 is used (stack number 1 is reserved for system use); C) shows a case where the stack area is full.

FIG. 58 is a flowchart for explaining the process of setting a secret talker Kaburo buddy sheet.

If a group name with a confidential word (password) is specified in the image input described above, this property sheet will be displayed. You cannot correctly "complete" unless you enter the correct secret word. If you "complete" without entering the secret word, or if you enter the wrong secret word, a guide will be displayed (Figure 58). Step R11
~R13°R19~R24). The setting of 靝子字 can be set for each group when saving images as described later.

When a correct fence secret word is input, all image names belonging to that group name are displayed as a list (steps R21, R23, R25 to R27 in FIG. 58).

FIG. 59 is a flowchart for explaining internal processing operations from setting the property sheet for image input to displaying the read image information in the work view.

In the property sheet used here, as shown in FIG. 31(a), the most frequently used case is selected as the initial temperature setting. Therefore, if there is no change, just move the cursor to [Complete] and operate the mouse 6 Ls (single click the left button). Also, if you want to change it, place the cursor on the part you want to change and operate the mouse 6 Ls (single click the left button) to change the third
As shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the inverted display position is changed and the setting parameters are changed (Steps 818 to 530 in FIG. 59).

For example, as shown in FIG. 31(a), ``Auto'' is set as the initial value and is displayed in reverse video.

This is a case where information such as resolution set as the scanner device can be read. However, some scanner devices cannot read the data, and in this case, the setting is reset to "manual" and the resolution is set through the screen, as shown in FIG. 31(b) or (C). That is, in this case, move the cursor to ``Manual °'' and move the mouse 6 to Ls.
By operating (single click on the left button),
The "auto-pa" has been reversed up until now, but it is now changed to "manual" as shown in FIG. 31(b).

This then makes it possible to set the resolution.

There are two types of resolution settings: unit designation and numerical value indicating resolution. Two types of units are possible: N I+ and "inches". Place the cursor on the desired frame and press the mouse 6 Ls (
By single-clicking the left button, the desired unit will be highlighted and the resolution unit will be displayed accordingly.

12°513). Also, by selecting ``Cancel'', all set parameters will be returned to their initial state (5th
Figure 9 Steps 315 to $17).

Note that when "Complete" is selected, this property sheet is registered in the system initial information area in the main memory 2 and used as initial information.

FIG. 60 is a flowchart showing the processing flow when inputting an image from an external storage device is specified using a property sheet. As shown in FIG. 32, this property sheet has been initialized by selecting the most frequently used property sheet. Here, the device number corresponds to this, and '01' is set as the initial value.If you want to change this, specify the target input frame and press mouse 6 Ls (single click the left button). The device number, group name, image name, etc. can be input and modified using this method (steps 720 to T31 in Figure 60).At this time, the group name and image name are initialized with spaces (
b) is stored.

When the input is completed, move the cursor to "Complete" and operate the mouse 6 (single-click the left button), and the property sheet will disappear (Step T14 in Figure 60.
15. T41. ...).

At this time, the specification of the group name and image name will be as shown below.

1) When neither the group name nor the image name is specified This case is used when you do not know what is contained in the target external storage device.

Here, if a group name is specified in the image information in the target external storage i-plane, a list of group names is displayed (Steps T14 T54 T55. T5 in Fig. 60).
7. T58). At this time, there are cases where image names without a group name are included, and in this case, the group name is displayed as a space.

As mentioned above, point to one of the group names with the mouse 6, operate the mouse 6 with Ls (single click with the left button), then select "P" on the menu bar, and then select "OvenP" from the pull-down menu. As a result, a list of image names included in the group name is displayed (steps T41 to T48 and T51 in FIG. 60).

If no group is specified, a list of image names is displayed directly (steps T41, T54, and T5 in Figure 60).
5. T57. T59).

Next, select one of the image name icons and perform the "operation" and "oven" operations as described above to display the desired image in the work view (step T14 in Figure 60).
．． T53).

2) Group name specified, image name not specified This case is the same as selecting the group name icon in 1) above.

3) Image name specified, group name specified In this case, image information is input and displayed from the image name belonging to the specified group name (step T49 in FIG. 60).

4) Image name specified, group name not specified In this case, input image information from the group name or the new image name in the space and display it (Step T56 in Figure 60)
.

In either case, once the image has been displayed in the work view, the menu bar is returned to the original image display.

If the group name specified in 2) and 3) is specified, a confidential word is checked (step T42 in Fig. 60).
~T45).

That is, if a group name with a secret word specified is specified, the operation will not be completed unless the correct secret word is input. When "completed", this property sheet is registered in the system initial information area and becomes the initial display from now on, but the confidential word must be set every time.

FIG. 61 is a flowchart for explaining the redisplay property sheet setting process.

As shown in FIG. 33, this property sheet displays the stack number corresponding to the stacked image information together with the input frame.

At this time, the latest stack number is highlighted. Select the stack number with the cursor and select "Complete" to display the corresponding image information in the work view (steps U11 to U21 in Figure 61). is deleted, and the corresponding stack number input frame is added to the property sheet for closing as shown in Figure 34.This property sheet is updated and registered in the system initial information area, and is used as the initial display the next time the property is displayed. (Steps U22 and U23 in Figure 61).

This operation is invalid if the work view has not been initialized or opened. Property sheets are not updated. Also, “Reset” and “Cancel” are the same as other property sheets (No. 61)
Figure step U12. U17゜U14. U24. U
25).

FIG. 62 is a flowchart for explaining the closing property sheet setting process.

In the initial state, input boxes for stack numbers 2 to 4 are displayed, as shown in FIG. 34(a).

At this time, stack number 1 is reserved for system use and cannot be selected.

By selecting the stack number and selecting “Done”,
As shown in FIG. 34(b), the corresponding stack number input frame is deleted from the property sheet for closing, and on the other hand, the corresponding stack number input frame is added to the property sheet for redisplay as shown in FIG. 33. (Figure 62 Step 11
~V16. V18°V19).

This property sheet is updated and registered in the system initial information area, as in the case of redisplay, and becomes the initial display the next time the property sheet is displayed (steps V20 to 62 in Figure 62).
V23).

If the input frame is not displayed, that is, if all stacks are used, complete this operation by clicking “Reset” (
FIG. 62 Step V12. V17).

In addition, the most recently used stack number will be the 33rd stack number when redisplaying.
It is displayed in reverse video as shown in Figure (b) and serves as a guide.

FIG. 63 is a flowchart for explaining image information storage processing.

Here, if you point to "Save" on the menu bar and press the left button (L) of the mouse 6, a pull-down menu (PDM) as shown in FIG. 37 will be displayed (step W11 in FIG. 63).

From this displayed pull-down menu (PDM), select the storage location of the image information while holding down the button (C) of the mouse 6 (steps W12 to W15 in FIG. 63). At this time, the highlighted display changes according to the movement of the mouse, similar to other menu selections.

When the desired menu is selected and the button (C) of the mouse 6 is released, the pull-down menu (PDM) is cleared and a property sheet as shown in Fig. 38 is displayed, waiting for input of the property sheet (No. 63). Figure step W1
2. W16-W20).

FIG. 64 is a flowchart for explaining the setting process of the property sheet for saving image information.

Here, when ``Reset Pa'' is selected, nothing is done except erase the property sheet (Fig. 64, Step X1).
2. X13).

Also, when "Cancel" is selected, the various parameters that have been set are returned to their initial states (steps X16 to X1 in Figure 64).
9).

At this time, in the initial state, as shown in FIG. 38, the device number is '01' and all others are spaces.

Also, when "Complete" is selected, confirm that the settings have been completed, and save the image information of the work view to the designated device (steps X14, X41 to X in Figure 64).
50).

At this time, there are three types of setting parameters: "device number", "group name", and "image name".

Among these, the "device number" is used to specify by number which device to select when a plurality of devices of the same type are connected. In this case, place the cursor on "Device number", operate the mouse 6 Ls (single click the left button), and enter the numerical value (6th
Steps X20 to X22 in Figure 4). At this time, the input is terminated by pressing the "Select/'Execute" key.

Further, "Blueprint name" is used for hierarchical management as a means of information management, and is not an essential input item (steps X23 to X25 in FIG. 64).

In addition, "Image name is a name used for information 911m identification, and in any case it is a required input item, move the cursor and operate the mouse 6 Ls (single click on the left button) to input characters (Step X32 in Figure 64). ~x34).In this case, the input is also terminated by pressing the "Select/Execute" key.

Note that the device number designation becomes the display initial value when the designated number is displayed next time.

The device number is '01' as the initial value, and if changed, that number will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

The initial value of the group name is a space, and if you change it, that name will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

The initial value for secret word designation is "disabled", and if it is changed, that designation will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

If you specify "Yes" for the secret word designation, a guide and input frame for entering the secret edict will be displayed, and if you specify "No", the display will be erased (Step X26 in Figure 64).
〜×28).

It is necessary to set the secret word each time.

The initial value of the image name is a space, and if you change it, that name will be displayed as the initial value from now on.

If you select “Complete”, the image name will be checked (Fig. 64, step X14.X15.X41゜X4
2〉.

When saving an image, the image name is a required item.

Also, if you set the mercenary edict to "Yes", the group name,
Setting the filter word is an essential item. In particular, there is no way to display kuwa secret words, so care must be taken when handling them.

FIG. 65 and FIG. 66 are flowcharts relating to editing of image information.

At this time, the read image information is displayed in the work view (DB> shown in Fig. 40). Specify a frame for the necessary part in this work view using the same procedure as for setting the area (step in Fig. 65). Y11-Y18).

After this, select "Edit" on the menu bar and select "Cut" on the pull-down menu (PDM). At this time, the menu bar PaI! The contents of the pull-down menu when selecting a collection are shown in FIG.

This transfers the specified frame to the paste buffer and clears the image within the frame in the working view. At this time,
The image information previously stored in the paste buffer is cleared (steps 711 to Z19 in FIG. 66).

Next, a storage area is created at the image information transfer destination (ie, document view) (step Z20 in FIG. 66).

By selecting ``Edit'' from the menu bar and then ``Paste'' from the pull-down menu, the information already stored in the base buffer is transferred to the set area frame (steps Z21 and Z22 in FIG. 66). At this time, if the transfer sizes do not match, the extra range is discarded.

As mentioned above, when collecting sentences 111H containing images, it is easy to use the document view and work view opened on the display screen, and a series of operation selection mechanisms using the menu bar, pull-down menu, and property sheet. With simple operations, you can quickly and smoothly process documents that include images. Furthermore, by adding a learning function to the property sheet, it is possible to simplify operations when editing text and images, including changing items on the property sheet, and it is possible to input and edit text and images simultaneously. When doing so, the work can be done quickly and easily.
