The present invention relates to a character input method in an input device of a computerized photographic type system, and in particular, it is possible to facilitate input of character set format information, and the character set inputted even during input of character information. The present invention relates to a text input method that makes it easy to know format information.

The input data for outputting the printout in the computerized photographic system is usually created using a dedicated input device. FIG. 1 shows an example of the basic configuration of the input device, and outputs to a medium such as a keyboard 1, a control unit 2, a display unit 3, a storage unit 4, and a floppy disk, a printer, a computer writer, and the like. Is composed of an output unit 5. In order to prepare the input data, first, character set format information for instructing the format when printing the printout from the output unit 5 is inputted on the keyboard 1, and then character information of the body is input. When the format of the printout is changed during the input of the character information, new character set information is commanded each time, and then character information is continuously input. The input data being prepared is displayed on the display unit 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, and the operator performs the input operation while checking the display unit 3 to confirm whether or not the input information is correct.

In FIG. 2, the portion indicated by A is character set format information inputted for commanding the format, and the portion indicated by B is character information, and in this example, the horizontal scale.

Referring to A in the drawing, "table" in A1 indicates a tone, "0" in A2 indicates that this tone is newly created, and "double" in A3 indicates the character. The magnitude | size is shown, and "upper-left" of A4 shows that the basic origin of this tone is the upper left. In addition, "0.5" of A5 represents the space | interval between the column which comprises a table | column, and a column is 0.5 m, and "7" of A6 has shown that the width of a column is 7 cm, respectively.

The input data created in this way is stored in the general storage unit 4. And if necessary, it can be output from the output unit 5, such as a printer for calibration, and it can also check whether there is an input miss. The input data is in the form of a paper tape or a floppy disk, and finally, the printout is outputted from a computerized typewriter.

However, as illustrated in FIG. 2A, the character pattern staying information in the computerized photographic system is complicated and has many kinds of items to be ordered. Moreover, various typesetting such as vowel, page tone, and tone Since the items to be ordered also vary depending on the conditions, the quantity is considerable. Therefore, in order to set character stay information, the operator must remember both the types of items to be ordered and the order of commands, and not everyone can input them. In addition, since the quantity is large, even an experienced operator sometimes incorrectly terrains an item to be inputted, and the output unit 5 outputs the input miss. As a result, the work efficiency was lowered and wastes such as sensitization were generated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and it is easy to input and confirm character set format information, and furthermore, it is possible to easily know the designated character set format information even during input of character information. It is characterized by operating a keyboard of an input device having a keyboard, a display unit, and a storage unit to input character set format information and character information and store them in the storage unit in synchronization with the display unit. In the character input method of the input device for creating the input information for output from the output unit, when the character set format information is input, the character set format information is inputted as the screen of the character set format information input mode on the display screen of the display unit. Subsequently, the mode screen for text information input is switched to input the text information. The character set format information entered is displayed together with the character information as part of the mode information input mode screen.

Next, this invention is demonstrated based on drawing.

3 shows a flowchart of the present invention, and describes the contents of the process in order. In the following description, inputting character set format information by switching to the mode screen for inputting character set format information will be described as "input support".

S1: Command "input support" from the keyboard. The control unit 2 then reads data from the storage unit 4. then

S2: The input support selection menu as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the screen 3 of the display unit.

S3: The data to be set (tone or page tone, etc.) is now selected from the selection menu shown in Fig. 4 and is commanded from the keyboard.

S4: A registration address for storing the character set staying information to be created in the storage unit 4 is specified.

S5: Specify on the screen whether or not the character set format information to be created is newly created.

S6: Answer YES or NO to S5. In case of new construction, call YES, previously written and registered information in the memory, and use it as text format information, or respond with NO when modifying a part of it.

S7, S9: As shown in the example of FIG. 5, the screen displays the character format information to be input by items. According to this item, the operator inputs or corrects character set format information. Fig. 5 shows that after inputting character set format information, the data in the four-sided frame on the screen is variable data, and only this variable data is corrected when correction is necessary.

S8, S10: Register the pastoral stay information entered and modified in S7 and S9 at the registration address specified in S4.

S11: The input of the character set format information is terminated by input of the "end" "execute" key, the mode screen for inputting character set format information is switched to the screen for inputting character information, and the character set format information created now is removed. It is displayed as 6 degrees.

When the character information is ready, the character information BB is continuously displayed after the character type format information AA as shown in Fig. 7, and the operator inputs the character information and inputs the character information. You can check it.

In the case of changing the character set format information in the middle of inputting the character information, the variable data may be corrected as it is in the character information input mode screen of FIG. 7 without returning to the mode screen for inputting the character set format information of FIG. Of course, the input support may be commanded, the mode may be switched as described above, the screen of FIG. 5 may be called to correct the variable data, and then the mode screen may be switched again for character information input. In this way, the screen of FIG. 6 is displayed again at that time. In any case, the character set format information and character information are alternately mixed, that is, the character set format information shown in FIG. 6 is regarded as part of the character information and displayed on a common screen.

Next, some of the contents displayed on the character set format information input mode screen shown in FIG. 5, that is, the display section 3 will be described.

This example is a case of the page pair commanded by "2" in FIG. The sheet surface direction indicated by reference numeral 31 is set so that the paper sheet is in the longitudinal direction when " 1 " Reference numerals 32 and 33 designate the outer circumferential dimensions in the left and right and up and down directions. In this example, the size is considerably large such that the left and right are 592 mm, and the top and bottom are 840 mm.

Reference numerals 34 and 35 are plate dimensions in the left and right and up and down directions set inside the outer threshing dimension, and are areas to be actually printed. In this example, the left and right sides are 462 mm and the top and bottom are 667 mm. Reference numeral 36 indicates the direction, and when "1" is indicated, character sets are formed from left to right, and when "2" is specified, character sets are formed from top to bottom. If "3" is specified, character sets are formed from right to left, and if "4" is specified, character sets are formed from bottom to top.

The number of stages 37, the number of stages 38, the length of the stage 39, and so on. … Is entered sequentially.

In this way, since the stay information necessary to form the character set is displayed on the screen by the items illustrated in FIG. 4, the character set staying information can be input without any omission by sequentially commanding from the keyboard 1.

As described above, in the example of FIG. 5, the data in the enclosed squares are variable data, and the others are stored in the storage unit 4 as fixed data. The stored fixed data is read out by the command of the input support S1 in FIG. 3 and displayed on the screen 3. Subsequently, variable data is inputted in S7 and S9 of FIG. 3, and data inputted in S7 and S10 is registered. When it is finished in S11, the screen of FIG. 5 of the character set format information input mode is switched from the mode screen for character information input of FIG.

In FIG. 6, the portion indicated as AA shows variable data input in the character set format information input mode shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 31a shown in the drawing indicates that the plate surface direction 31 described in FIG. 5 is designated as "1", and reference numeral 32a is a command in which the left and right outer peripheral dimension is "592". Hereinafter, since the same as the number of FIG. 5, the description thereof will be omitted.

When the screen is switched to the character information input mode screen as described above, the variable data input in the character set format information input mode is displayed. This is done by reading the variable data in the predetermined registration number of the storage unit 4.

As described above, according to the present invention, when inputting character set format information, the instructions displayed on the mode screen for inputting character set format information are many, and there are many items that need to be inputted conventionally. It becomes easy to input character set information which was complicated enough. In addition, the character set format information created on the mode screen for inputting character set type information is treated like normal character information and displayed on the mode screen for inputting character information. Therefore, the screen is not changed while inputting the character information. You can check the current text format information, and if necessary, you can modify it.

In addition, although the above description has described the character input method of the input device in a residual photographic typesetting system, this invention is not limited only to this, Even the apparatus which presupposes to output from an output machine, such as a laser printer, for example. It is a matter of course that the present invention can be practiced.
