DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creating apparatus. In particular, it relates to a Japanese word processor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A personal computer on which a word processor and word processor software are executed has many functions. This function includes centering, search, memory, character modification, prohibition processing, document recall,
Input mode setting, line format, ruled line, format change, layout display, replacement, abbreviation registration, clear, spreadsheet, etc. As described above, the document creation device has many functions related to display, input, storage, and printing.

If keys are provided for each of these functions, many keys are required. In order to reduce the number of keys, a general character key is commonly used as a key for executing a function by keying the character key together with a shift key for executing the function. However, when the character keys are also used as the function execution keys, the operation is troublesome.

For this reason, there are some keys provided with several keys that operate as function execution keys, and the user can arbitrarily set what kind of function execution key to operate. Hereinafter, this key is referred to as a function setting key. A device in which the user can arbitrarily set a desired function is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-75417 (G06F3 / 023).

[0005] Normally, users use functions that are frequently used,
The convenience is enhanced by setting this function setting key. Hereinafter, executing a function by using a character key also as a shift key for function execution is referred to as normal execution. Executing a function using a function setting key is referred to as skip execution. In the skip execution, the operation and display in the middle are simplified as compared to the normal execution. It should be noted that the operation and the like are not simplified for all functions of the skip execution, but are referred to as such to distinguish them from the normal execution.

[0006]

However, it is troublesome for a user to set a function to a function setting key or the like for skip execution.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the executed function is automatically set to function setting keys (SF1 to SF10) and the like.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the function selected and executed by the user is:
If the same function is to be automatically set to the function setting keys (SF1 to SF10) and executed, the operation is performed by operating the function setting keys (SF1 to SF10) and the like.

FIG. 11 is a screen after the character modification process of “wavy line 2” is performed on the character string “title 2” in the specified range by hitting the execution key (1e) after FIG. . FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a screen after editing is continued after FIG. 11 and a plurality of functions are executed. As described above, the executed function is displayed on the soft menu section (SM1 to SM10), and the soft key (SF1 ...) is used to set the function for executing the displayed function. Works as

FIG. 13 is a screen showing the states of the software menu sections (SM1 to SM10) after execution of ten different editing functions. FIG. 14 shows a software menu section (SM1 to SM1) after performing further different functions after FIG.
26 is a screen showing the state of SM10). At this time, the word processor selects the least frequently used function from the functions displayed in the software menu section (SM1 to SM10), and sets the function executed this time instead of the less frequently used function. In FIG. 14, the function of the soft key (SF3) has been changed from "centering" to "quadruple", and the display of the soft menu (SM3) has also been changed.

FIGS. 15 to 18 show the word processing program. FIG. 15 shows a main part of a program relating to the present application. FIG. 16 shows the steps of the program of FIG.
7 shows a subroutine (S7). FIG.
Shows the subroutine of step 13 (S13) of the program.

FIG. 18 shows step 15 (S
15) shows a subroutine. The operation of this word processor is described below, focusing on the operation of performing character modification.
This will be described with reference to FIG. In the screen of FIG. 3, when performing character modification on the character string "Title 1", the user moves the cursor (3a) to the head of the character string "Title 1" by using the cursor movement key (1a) as shown in FIG. To move.

In the screen shown in FIG. 4, when performing character modification, the user simultaneously inputs the first shift key for function execution (1c) and the character key (1b) corresponding to the character modification function. As a result, the editing target range is specified, and the cursor (3a) is moved by the cursor moving key (1a) to specify the range. This range is underlined as shown in Figure 5.
(HL) is displayed. When the range is determined, press the execution key (1e).

Next, the parameters (modification types) shown in FIG.
The selection menu (M) is displayed. Here, the user moves the cursor (3a) to the position of the star mark of the desired decoration type "wavy line 2" with the cursor movement key (1a). Then, by hitting the execution key (1e) and deciding, the character modification process is executed using the selected content "wavy line 2".

By executing the character modification process, an automatic setting process of the "character modification" function for the function setting key (SF1) is performed. And, if this automatic setting is the first registration after the power is turned on, as shown in FIG.
It is displayed until the execution key (1e) is pressed. And
As shown in FIG. 8, the character string "title 1" is subjected to character modification of the wavy line 2, and the function name "character modification" is displayed in the soft menu section (SM1) at the bottom of the screen. At this time, in order to inform the user that the function setting has been made to the soft key (SF1), the software menu section (SM1) of this "character modification" is used.
Blinks black and white repeatedly, for several seconds.

Next, a description will be given of how the same character modification is performed on another character string "Title 2" by skip execution. The user can move the cursor movement key (1
a), the cursor (3
Move a). When performing the character modification of “wavy line 2” on the character string “title 2”, the user presses the soft key (SF1).

As a result, the editing target range is designated, and the cursor (3a) is moved by the cursor moving key (1a) to designate the range as shown in FIG. This range is
An underline (HL) is displayed. Once the range is determined,
Press the Enter key (1e). By hitting the execution key (1e),
The character modification process of “wavy line 2” is executed. Thus, the screen becomes as shown in FIG.

In the skip execution of the character modification,
This means that the display of the parameter (modification type) selection menu (M) shown in FIG. 6 has been omitted. In the skipping of the character modification, the display of the menu (M) screen and the selection operation of the character modification type are omitted. For example, in the case of the "centering" and "right alignment" functions, the menu display is performed from the beginning. Therefore, the omission of the display of the menu screen is not always performed.

When the editing is continued after this and a plurality of functions are executed, the executed functions are automatically set to the soft keys (SF2...) Sequentially. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, the automatically set function names are sequentially registered and displayed also in the software menu section (SM1 to SM1). After execution of ten different editing functions, the result is as shown in FIG. If another function is executed after FIG. 13, the soft keys (SF1
・ ・ ・ ・ ・ SF10) is not available.
1 ··· Cancels the set function of SF10) and sets this new function. That is, the function of the soft key (SF3) has been changed from "centering" in FIG. 13 to "quadruple" in FIG.

At this time, the software menu section (S
The blinking display of M3) is displayed, and the user is notified that the setting function of the soft key (SF3) has been changed. Fig. 15-
The operation of the normal execution and the skip execution of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the case of executing a function in the word processor of this embodiment, a shift key for executing a function is used.
(1c, 1d) and the normal execution by the character key (1b),
It is possible to select from two ways of performing skip execution.

The operation of these two methods will be described mainly with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. To execute this function, in addition to the above two methods, as shown in the explanatory note (SB) of FIG. 7, the soft key (SF1) corresponding to the soft menu (SM1) in which the function name is registered・ ・ ・ ・) Is the first shift key for function execution
It is also possible by inputting with (1c). Note that the internal operation at this time is the same as the normal execution.

The key type of the key input in step 1 (S1) of FIG. 15 is determined in step 2 (S2). If the result of the determination is that the shift key for function execution (1c, 1d) is a character key (1b), the function name corresponding to the character key (1b) is set as a function to be executed in step 3a (S3a). The judgment result in step 2 (S2) is
If it is (SF1...), In step 3 (S3), the function name already set to this soft key (SF1...) Is set as the function to be executed.

In step 4 (S4), it is determined whether the input is a combination input with the first shift key (1c) for function execution or the soft key (SF
1) The execution method is determined depending on whether the input is a single input. If the former, the normal execution is notified in step 5 (S5), and if the latter, the skip execution is notified in step 6 (S6). As described above, the execution method is determined by the key input, the notification process is performed, and the function execution process of step 7 (S7) is performed according to the notification.

Hereinafter, the case where the character modification is skipped will be described with reference to FIG. 15 and FIG. Figure 9
When only the soft key (SF1) is pressed in the state of
In step 1 (S1), it is determined in step 2 (S2) that only the soft key (SF1) has been input.

In step 3 (S3), this soft key
Set "character modification" which is an editing function code registered in the software menu section (SM1) corresponding to (SF1). In step 4 (S4), the execution method is determined to be skip execution. In step 6 (S6), a notification process of this execution method is performed. With this notification, in step 7 (S7), the skip execution process of the “character modification” function is performed.

The operation of step 7 (S7) will be described with reference to FIG. In step 7 (S7), the user first specifies an edit target range using the cursor movement key (1a) in step 11 (S11), as shown in FIG. Step 12 (S
In step 12), it is confirmed that this range designation has been completed with the execution key (1e), and the process enters the parameter selection menu display section in step 13 (S13).

However, in this step 13 (S13), since the setting for skip execution has been made in step 6 (S6), the menu screen (M) shown in FIG. 6 is not displayed as in the normal execution. For this reason, the process is not interrupted by the user here, and it is automatically determined in step 14 (S14) that the process is to be executed. If the skip execution, because the parameters of the character modification type or the like Ru using the contents selected in the previous normal execution (wavy line 2), the user need not make a selection on this.

That is, parameters such as character modification types are
Contents selected in the previous normal execution from step 13 (S13)
(Dashed line 2) is notified, and the editing function of step 15 (S15) is executed using this. In the case of skip execution, since the function registration to the software menu section has already been performed, the processing in step 16 (S16) is not performed again, and the processing ends as shown in the screen of FIG.

Here, the processing performed in step 13 (S13) of FIG. 13 during normal execution and skip execution will be described with reference to FIG. First, step 20 (S
In step 20), the “wavy line 2” which is a parameter (character modification type) when the “character modification” that is the same function was executed last time is acquired. Note that if this time is the first time this function is used, the initially set parameters are acquired.

Next, the execution method notified in step 5 (S5) or step 6 (S6) in FIG.
The determination is made in (S21). If the result of this determination is normal execution, a menu (M) for parameter selection is displayed in step 22 (S22). Here, the user makes a selection and setting by key input in step 23 (S23), and
If it is confirmed in step 24 (S24) that the character modification type, which is a parameter, is determined by inputting (1e), the selected / set content is registered in place of the parameter obtained in step 20 (S20). You. Further, the contents of the parameter are notified in step 27 (S27) to be used for executing the editing function process.

However, if the user inputs the cancel key (1f) in step 23 (S23) and interrupts the selection / setting of the parameters, this is determined in step 24 (S24), and the function execution processing is performed. Is notified in step 25 (S25). This is the processing performed in the case of normal execution. On the other hand, if the determination result of the execution method in step 21 (S21) of FIG. 17 is skip execution, the contents of the parameters acquired in step 20 (S20) are stored in step 28 (S2
Register according to 8). Then, the content is notified in step 27 (S27) for processing of executing the editing function.

Next, the registration of the soft menu will be described with reference to FIG. 18, which is a flowchart relating to the registration of the function in the software menu during normal execution. In step 30 (S30) of FIG. 18, it is determined whether the same function exists in the registered software menu. If it exists, the registration process is not performed. In addition, after automatically setting "wavy line 2" as a function of "character modification", if "underline" of "character modification" is executed in normal execution, the soft key corresponding to "character modification"
Although the key is the same as that for executing “character modification”, the parameter for determining the character modification type has been changed from “wavy line 2” to “underline” when performing this “character modification”.

Therefore, the user feels that the function setting key of “character modification: wavy line 2” has been changed to the function setting key of “character modification: underline”. On the other hand, step 30 (S
If it is determined in step 30) that the software menu does not exist in the registered software menu, an unregistered software menu is searched in order from the left of the screen in step 31 (S31).

As a result, if there is an unregistered software menu section (SM5...) As in the screen shown in FIG. 12, in step 33 (S33), the function currently being processed is registered at that position. I do. However, in the case of the screen shown in FIG. 13, it is determined in step 31 (S31) that there is no unregistered menu. In this case, in step 32 (S32),
The frequency of use of all software menus is checked, and a menu position with a low frequency of use is determined.

In step 33 (S33), the name of the function currently being processed is registered and updated for the menu position obtained here. As an example of the result, the soft menu section (SM3)
FIG. 14 shows a case in which the function name of “1” has been updated. still,
In the skip execution of the above embodiment, the contents of the parameters such as the character modification type cannot be changed. Therefore, when changing the character modification type of this character modification function, perform the normal execution of this character modification function and select the parameter menu.
If you select the desired character modification type in (M), it will be updated.

FIG. 19 shows the “character modification” of the editing function.
This shows how parameter registration contents are updated by normal execution. That is, in the example of FIG. 19, first,
By normal execution of character modification, "shaded" is selected and executed as the character modification type. Next, character modification is performed by skip execution. The character modification type at this time is automatically "shaded". Similarly, skip execution is performed.

Next, by the normal execution of the character modification, "underline" is selected and executed as the character modification type. As a result, the parameter is changed from "shaded" to "underlined". further,
Character modification is performed by skip execution. The character modification type at this time is automatically "underlined". Next, “inversion” is selected and executed as the character modification type by normal execution of character modification.
As a result, the parameter is changed from "underline" to "reverse". Furthermore, character modification is performed by skip execution. The character modification type at this time is automatically set to "reverse".

In the above embodiment, the software menu section (S
The operation at the time of display of (M1 ・ ・ SM10) was explained.
When the soft menu section is not displayed in (1g), skip execution is not performed even if the soft keys (SM1,..., SM10) are pressed. However, even when the soft menu section is not displayed, the setting operation shown in FIG. 18 is performed.

In this embodiment, as described above, the automatic setting operation shown in FIG. 18 was performed even when the soft menu section was not displayed. The automatic setting operation may not be performed.
In this embodiment, the description (SB) is displayed only at the first automatic setting after the power is turned on. However, this is because, for example, if this word processor can change the level of detail of the description of the help screen, the description (SB) is also made at the time of the first automatic setting after this change according to the change of the level of detail. May be displayed. Also, after this detail level is up,
The description (SB) may also be displayed at the time of the first automatic setting. This means that the fact that the level of detail has changed means that it is highly probable that the user has been replaced.
(SB) is displayed.

In this embodiment, the normal execution by keying the function execution first shift key (1c) and the soft keys (SF1... SF10) is a simple operation. It is to measure the conversion. In other words, it is possible for the user to save the trouble of searching for the key of the desired function from the character keys (1b). In the above embodiment, the soft keys (SF1 ... SF10)
All are set automatically, but any number of keys may be set manually as in the past, and the rest may be set automatically. This manually set soft key is, of course, excluded from the function setting change by automatic setting. The fact that the function of the soft key does not change in this way is hereinafter referred to as fixing the function.

When the functions of the soft keys (SF1... SF10) are fixed as described above, manual setting may be performed from the beginning as described above. In addition, the soft key (S
After setting the function of (F1 ... SF10), press the function execution second shift key (1d), and then press the soft key whose function you want to fix, so that the function of this soft key is fixed. It may be.

In order to notify the user of a soft key having a fixed function as described above, the soft menu section of the soft key having the fixed function is displayed with a thicker border, or the soft key in the soft menu section is displayed. May be displayed in a shaded manner. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the description is made such that “underline” of “character modification” and “wavy line 2” of “character modification” have different parameters with the same “character modification” function. But, of course, this is
It may be defined as completely different functions of “character modified underline” and “character modified wavy line 2”.

As described above, as another function, a plurality of "character modification" functions such as "character modification: underline" and "character modification: wavy line 2" can be set. Further, in the above embodiment, when setting the range of “character modification”, the function was executed after the cursor (3a) was moved to the head position in advance. However, in this case, the head position may be set after executing the function.

In the above embodiment, when the eleventh function is automatically set, the functions that are used less frequently are discarded and the eleventh function is set. However, this is not only the frequency of use, but also sets the importance according to each function in advance,
The function to be discarded may be determined based on the importance. In addition, both the importance and the frequency of use may be set. In the above embodiment, when the eleventh function is used,
Frequency of use is 10 out of 10 functions already set
The 11th function has been set by canceling the 11th function. However, this causes a disadvantage when the canceled tenth function is used more frequently than the eleventh function. So, the setting to the soft key is
Although the number is 10, the frequency of use may be counted by 15 functions larger than this number of keys, and the top 10 functions may be registered in the soft keys.

That is, a plurality of functions to be executed may be weighted according to the frequency of use, importance, etc., and the one with the larger weight may be set to the plurality of function setting keys (SF1 to SF10). Also, in the above embodiment, FIG.
As described in step 30 (S30), when the same function exists in the registered software menu, the registration processing is not performed, but this may be registered. Since the same function is registered even if it is registered, it is substantially the same.

Further, such setting data of the soft key may be automatically and simultaneously stored when the document data is stored in the FD (floppy disk). In this way, when reading the document data from the FD, the soft keys are automatically set. It should be noted that one storage area for setting data of the soft key of the FD may be provided corresponding to one document, or one storage area may be provided corresponding to the FD. Ideally, it should be provided in correspondence with the former document. However, since users usually create and use FDs for each field, even the latter FD has little problem.
Does not occur.

That is, the writing means for writing the data of the function automatically set in the function setting keys (SF1 to SF10) to a separate FD, and the data read out from the FD, the function setting key The functions (SF1 to SF10) may be set. Further, in the embodiment, a keyboard input word processor for inputting by keying a key has been described as an example, but the present invention is also applicable to a mouse input type. In other words, the screen has a function display area in which a function name called a menu is displayed. In this function display area, the cursor is moved by the mouse, and the mouse button is clicked on the function name to be executed. Thus, the present invention can be applied to a type for executing a function.

That is, the function executed in this way is automatically set in the function display area, the cursor display is moved to this function display area, and the mouse is clicked to execute this function. Do. The function display area in which this function is automatically set is called a function setting area.
It should be noted that the function setting area which is automatically set depends on the menu.
May be displayed in a separate area, this separate area may be provided with one area for each function, or this area display may be constantly displayed in response to a mode change.

In the present application, both an input using a mouse and an input using a keyboard may be possible. That is, the function executed by the mouse may be automatically set to the function setting key, or the function executed by the key operation may be set in the function setting area and skipped by the mouse. Also,
In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the soft menu section can be displayed even when no soft keys are registered.
However, in order for the user not to misunderstand, the soft menu section may not be displayed when no soft key is registered. In addition, when the function is executed for the first time after the setting, the display mode of the automatically set software menu unit may be automatically set.

In the embodiment, the function is automatically set at the end of the function execution. However, the function may be automatically set at the start of the function execution. In other words, once the execution of the function is started, the automatic setting may be performed even if the function is canceled in the middle. Further, the automatic setting may be performed by executing a substantial function. In other words, even if a command to execute the “centering” function is given on a line where no character string exists, it is substantially the same as not performing the command. Therefore, in this case, the automatic setting may not be performed.

FIG. 20 shows a second embodiment of the present invention in terms of hardware.
An example will be described. In the figure, (2 ') is a main control unit. (21) is a software menu management unit, which operates in step 16 (S16) of the program. (22) is a function execution unit that performs the operation of step 7 (S7) of the program.

(23) is a menu display for parameter selection and setting, which operates in step 13 (S13) of the program. (23a) is a parameter storage unit that performs the operations of steps 26 and 28 (S26 and S28) of the program.

[0066]

As described above, in the present invention, since the function registration is automatically performed, the setting operation is not required for the soft keys (SF1 to SF10), and the operation can be simplified. .
