2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a system for handling Japanese kanji, with the spread of digital computers, a unique code is assigned to each font, and data can be exchanged between different models by referring to the code. It was being appreciated. As such a code system, a JIS code Chinese character table based on a code system commonly known as a JIS code is widely used. This JIS code kanji table is
As with the Kanji table for common use, it is decided based on the social conventions of the era, and has been revised several times to date. The typeface has changed over time, and among the typefaces that have been introduced from China since ancient times, it is now used only for proper names such as personal names and place names, and in the case of other ordinary texts, the changed typeface is used. There are many different fonts that are called, so-called new and old fonts. Also,
In order to distinguish the typeface, it may be called a regular character, an abbreviation, or a slang character, and they may be confused.
When trying to clarify the definition of terms, the cultural elements of Kanji become stronger and deviate from the main point of this paper. Therefore, each term is defined based on social convention.

In the JIS code Chinese character table described above, some fonts are included in only one of the old JIS code Chinese character table and the new JIS code Chinese character table.
For example, the characters and the like shown in FIG. 10 are examples, but these are treated as the same value in the JIS standard, and the same JIS code is assigned. Regarding personal names, computerization of family register work
The slang and abbreviations that are not corrected by "Ministry of Justice, No. 5200, Ministry of Justice, 5200, Notification of Director General of Civil Affairs" are shown. Many of these fonts are not included in the JIS code kanji table.

In normal text, the use of letters should be based on the cultural background of the user,
If there is a choice, it will be used according to each preference. However, in place names and person names, the stronger the elements of the official document, the more defined the typeface itself must be used.

In the conventional Japanese Kanji system as described above, one of the fonts is assigned a code in the JIS code table, and the other font is assigned a so-called external character area code.

[0006]

However, there is no regulation on how to allocate codes in the external character area, and it is left to the discretion of the manufacturing parties of the Japanese Kanji system. Was assigned, or the font was not defined, which hindered data exchange.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a document information editing apparatus capable of reducing obstacles in data exchange between different models.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

This embodiment is an example in which the document information editing apparatus of the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor.

FIG. 1 is mainly used for document editing in this embodiment.
The block diagram of the control circuit which performs a display display and a process of printing is shown. This control circuit includes a CPU 10, a program memory 11, a working memory 12, and a document memory 1.
3, the display controller 14 and the printer controller 15 are connected via a bus 18.

Further, the display font memory 16
Is connected to the display control unit 14, and the printer font memory 17 is connected to the printer control unit 15.

Further, the input unit 1 input by the operator
9. The display 110 and the printer 111 as the character visualization means of the present invention are connected to the CPU 10.

The CPU 10 controls the entire process of document editing, display display and printing, and the program memory 11 stores the processing procedure performed by the CPU 10. Also, the working memory 12
Is the CPU 1 according to the procedure in the program memory 11.
0 is used for temporary storage of data when processing is performed.

The document memory 13 constitutes the extended document storage means of the present invention, and stores the document data being edited. Document data is stored by aligning extended character codes. The extended character code is composed of a character concept code and a type code. The character concept code is a code indicating the character concept, and in this embodiment, JIS
The ward point code is used. The type code is a code indicating the type of regular character / variant character. In the present embodiment, a regular character is treated as a new JIS font, and a variant character is treated as an old JIS not defined in the new JIS or a font not found in the new / old JIS. Therefore, in the type code, "normal" is added to the normal character and "different" is added to the variant character.

2 (a) and 2 (b) are originally the same character, the new JIS defines the character (a) and the old JIS defines the character (b). Therefore, these are the characters of the same JIS division code 2710. When the shape data of these characters are stored together, since it is not possible to identify (a) and (b) only with the character concept code, it is necessary to add information for distinguishing new characters / old characters.
This is the type code of this embodiment. That is, since (a) is a new character, that is, a normal character, the character code 2710-is positive, and (b) is an old character, that is, a different character, so that the character code 2710-is different. It should be noted that this type data is not limited to the normal / different type, and for example, data indicating the type such as new / old, orthographic / abbreviated / slang, etc. is different if there are multiple cases.
The data may be data to which identification information of the same type such as 1, different-2, etc. is added, but in the present embodiment, for ease of explanation, only type data of normal / different will be described.

Further, the display control unit 14 performs a process for displaying on the display 110, generates shape data of a character to be displayed, and has a desired character shape in a display font memory 16 described later. Whether or not it is determined, and processing such as provision of information such as the display area of the display is performed. Printer control unit 15
Is for performing processing for printing on the printer 111. Generation of shape data of a character to be printed, determination of whether or not there is a desired character shape in the printer font memory 17, which will be described later, and printing by the printer. Processing such as provision of information on areas and the like is performed. The display font memory 16 stores the shape data of the character for display on the display 110 so that it can be referred to by the extended character code, and the printer font memory 17 stores the shape data of the character for printing by the printer 111. Is stored so that it can be referred to by the extended character code. The display font memory 1
6 and the printer font memory 17 constitute the character storage means of the present invention.

The input section 19 is a section for performing a process of inputting an operator's instruction into the control circuit from an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse, and the display 110 displays a display according to an instruction from the display control section 14 and a printer 21. Is a part for performing printing according to an instruction from the printer control unit 15.

The document data creation process in the document memory 13 will be described. The position in the document data designated by the operator with the keyboard or mouse and the character string confirmed using the Kana-Kanji conversion unit (not shown) are input by the JIS division code string, and the input mode such as the insert / overwrite mode is input by the input unit 19. It is input, and the JIS division point code is converted into the extended character code and written at the designated position in the document memory 13 in accordance with instructions such as insertion / overwriting. The conversion from the JIS division point code to the extended character code here is performed by setting the JIS division point code to the character concept code and the type code to "correct". It should be noted that this process is a technique that has already been put into practical use by various methods, except that the character code in the document memory 13 is an extended character code. Those skilled in the art can easily make this change from the conventional method. Also, this processing is not the main part of the present invention. Therefore, the description here is limited to this extent. If the kana-kanji conversion unit outputs the extended character code as a fixed character string, the conversion from the JIS division point to the extended character code is not necessary.

In the present embodiment, it is possible to convert a regular character / a variant character for an arbitrary character in the document memory 13 according to an instruction from the operator. The process of converting a character stored in the document memory 13 into a regular character / a variant character will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

S31 (where S is a step; the same applies to the following S) is a process in which the operator selects a character selected using a keyboard or a mouse and a designated type code from the input unit 19. This processing step functions as the type code input means of the present invention. In addition, S32
Detects the selected character in the document memory 13,
"Correct" / indicated the type data of the extended character code
This is a process of changing the value to "different". This processing step functions as the type code setting means of the present invention.

Although it has been described above that it is possible to change so that a plurality of variants can be defined, in this case, a large number of selection candidates are notified to the operator at the time of conversion, and the operator can select from them. It can be easily changed by those skilled in the art.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the document data in the document memory 13 is displayed, when the shape data of the variant character to be displayed is not present in the font data, it is displayed in place of the regular character. It is possible. The process of visualizing the document data stored in the document memory 13 by displaying or printing will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

There is no fundamental difference in the display / printing process itself, and the only difference is the font data to be referenced and the output device. Therefore, the processing will be described herein by referring to the display font memory 16 and the printer font memory 17 as a font memory, the display 110 and the printer 111 as an output unit, and the display control unit 14 and the printer control unit 15 as a control unit.

In step S41, the read pointer is set at the output start point of the document data in the document memory 13. In S42, the extended character code for one character at the position of the read pointer is read, and in S43, it is checked whether the type code is a variant character.

If it is determined in S43 that the character is a variant character, S
At 44, the control unit is queried to determine whether or not the shape data of the character of the extended character code is in the font memory. The processing step of S44 functions as the character registration determination means of the present invention. If it is determined in S44 that there is no shape data in the font memory, the type data of the extended character code is changed to "correct" in S45.
Then, S46 and subsequent steps are performed. If it is determined in S44 that there is shape data in the font memory, S46 and the subsequent steps are performed.

When it is determined in S43 that the character is a proper character,
The process from S46 is executed as it is.

In step S46, the control unit is queried to obtain the shape data of the character indicated by the extended character code in a format that can be output by the output unit, and the data is transferred to the output unit in S47.

In step S48, it is determined whether or not the read pointer has reached the final point of the output range, that is, the processing is to be ended. If it is determined in S48 that the process has been completed, the process is terminated. If it is determined that the process is to be continued, the read pointer is incremented in S48 and the process returns to S42.

Further, in this embodiment, it is possible to obtain information on whether the character selected by the operator's instruction is a regular character or a different character. Below is a description of the process of notifying the information of the normal / alternate characters of the character selected by the operator's instruction.
It demonstrates based on a flowchart in FIG.

In step S51, an operator inputs a character instruction in the document memory 13 selected by the keyboard or mouse. The processing step of S51 functions as the character designating means of the present invention. In S52, the type code of the extended character code of the designated character is examined to determine whether or not it is a variant. If it is a variant character, S53 is executed, and if it is not a variant character, the process ends. S53 is a process of notifying the operator of the information of variant characters. The processing step of S53 functions as the variant character notification means of the present invention.

Further, this process may be a process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, S51 to S53
Is the same as that in FIG. 5, the determination in S53 is NO in S61.
It is carried out at the time of. S61 is a process of determining whether or not the shape data of the instructed character is registered in the font memory for the output device. When the operator confirms whether or not the character shape displayed on the display is the intended one, here, the display control unit 14 is inquired to check whether or not the character shape data exists, and the character is printed by the printer. In this case, in order to confirm whether or not the shape of the character is the intended one, the printer control unit 15 may be inquired to check whether or not there is shape data of the character. It is easy for the operator to select which of these font memories to check.

The method of notifying the operator of the variant character information in S53 of this embodiment is to display a message as shown in the figure on the display when the character enclosed by the square in FIG. 7 is selected. To do. Various methods can be considered for this method, and the method is not particularly limited. For example, in addition to this, it is also possible to notify by voice or the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the document data in the document memory 13 is printed according to the instruction from the operator, the information on the printing state of the variant characters in the document can be obtained. The process of notifying the operator of the printing state of variant characters when the document data in the document memory 13 is printed by the printer will be described below.
This will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

In step S81, the page line information is initialized and the read pointer is set to the print start position of the document data in the document memory 13, the extended character code at the position of the read pointer is read in step S82, and the extended character code of the extended character code is read in step S83. The type code is checked to determine whether it is a variant.

If it is determined in S83 that the character is a variant, S84
Then, the page line information is checked to detect the page and the line in which the character appears when it is printed. The processing step of S84 functions as the variant character position detecting means of the present invention. In step S85, the printer control unit is queried to determine whether the printer font 17 has the shape data of the character indicated by the extended character code. If there is shape data, in S86, it is notified that there is a variant character of the extended character code with respect to the regular character in the document on the page and the line obtained in S84, and that the character shape can be printed. The processing step of S86 functions as the variant character position notification means of the present invention.

If it is determined in step S85 that the printer font 17 does not have the shape data indicated by the extended character code, then in step S87, the normal character of the extended character code is obtained in the same manner as in step S84. There is a variant character in the document, and the character shape is not printable. In this embodiment, it is displayed on the display 110 as shown in FIG. 9 to notify the operator. This processing step of S87 also serves as the variant character position detecting means. It should be noted that this method is not limited to this, and various other methods are conceivable.

In S89, it is determined whether or not the processing of all the print areas is completed. If it is determined that the processing is completed, the processing is terminated, and if it is determined that the processing is continued, the page line information is updated in S89. And increment the read pointer to S
Returning to the processing of 82.

A file system is added to this embodiment,
It is also possible to convert the document data into a file and store it, or read the stored file into the document memory 13 for processing.

In this embodiment, the display font memory and the printer font have been described as separate components, but they may be configured to be commonly used.

Further, in the present embodiment, the printer is incorporated in the system, but the system may be provided with an interface with the printer and connected to the outside. At this time, the printer control unit and the printer font memory can also be changed to be connected to the outside.
