Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for calling internal characters in a word processor. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of calling up internal characters in an interactive manner with a display unit and using these characters as characters for inputting sentences.

[Conventional technology]

There is a multi-stage shift key method as a character input method for word processors. In this method, multiple characters are arranged on one character key, and characters are entered by pressing the shift key at the position corresponding to the character to be input on this character key at the same time. It is a method.

In this method, the operator inputs data by directly pressing the character keys on the keyboard.
All necessary characters must be placed on the board. However, because there is a physical limit to the size of the keys, there is also a limit to the number of characters that can be placed on the board. On the other hand, the word processor's built-in ROM for storing character dot patterns can store more characters than the total number of characters on the board.

For this reason, a word processor with a function that allows characters stored in the ROM mentioned above but not on the screen (hereinafter referred to as internal characters) to be called up on the display screen and input as needed. There is Setsa.

Conventionally, such word processors have had internal characters stored in a ROM in alphabetical order, and the desired internal characters can be searched based on how the internal characters are read.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, many of the inner characters are used less frequently and are difficult to read. For this reason, the above-mentioned word processor has a problem in that it is difficult to search for internal characters.

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for calling internal characters in a word processor that allows easy searching even for internal characters that are difficult to read.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a function key, a shift key,
In a word processor internal character calling method that has a keyboard section provided with character keys, a control section and a display section, and inputs characters using a multi-stage shift key method, the method is stored in a memory built in the control section. When inputting a character that is not on the character key board, (a) First, press the internal character call mode key among the function keys to set the internal character reading mode, (b) Next, Display the internal characters within a certain range on the screen by pressing a character that has a common component with that internal character, and (c) press the shift key at the position corresponding to the internal character to be input from among the displayed internal characters to input it. This is a method for calling internal characters of a word processor, which is characterized in that:

〔Example〕

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a word processor for implementing the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 10 is a keyboard section, 20 is a display section, 30 is a memory, 40 is an external memory, 50 is a printer, and 60 is a communication interface section (hereinafter referred to as
70 is a CPU. memory 30
and CPU 70 constitute a control section.

The keyboard section 10 includes a function key 1.
1, a shift key 12 and a character key 13 are provided. The keys are arranged, for example, as shown in FIG. The function key 11 is, for example, a key for correction, deletion, confirmation, etc. The shift key 12 is used to designate a desired character in the character keys 13, or to designate a desired character called up on a search result display screen. By using the shift key 12 and character key 13 in combination, characters are input using a multi-stage shift key system.

Here, each character of the character key 13 is assigned an internal character related to that character. This allocation is performed according to the following rules.

When an internal character ``bia'' or 旁 constitutes a character by itself, that internal character is assigned to that character. For example, the internal character ``鮃'' is assigned to the character ``fish'' in the character key.

Assign the internal character to a character that has the same bias or 时 as that of the internal character. For example, the internal character ``cortic'' is assigned to the character ``ill'' in the character key.

The internal character is assigned to a character that has elements in common with the elements that constitute the internal character, but is not the same as the internal character. For example, the internal character ``豁'' is assigned to the character ``harm'' in the character key.

If the internal character originally represents the same thing as the character in the character key, that internal character is assigned to that character. For example, the inner character "A" is assigned to the position of the character key "A".

Using the above rules to allocate 3384 JIS Level 2 Kanji characters, the rule covers approximately 56%, and the rule covers approximately 39%. The remaining 5% can cover most of the cost. Characters that cannot be covered by these rules are collectively assigned to a specific key as other characters.

According to the rules, the same internal character may be assigned to multiple characters on the board. for example,
``Put'' is assigned to ``Harm'' and ``Valley'' on the board, as well as to the key. Hereinafter, the elements that constitute the character, which are other than the character's polarity, the character's polarity, and the character's character, are referred to as constituent elements.

Such allocation is performed by specifying addresses for characters and internal characters on the board.

The display section 20 displays the text desired to be created in response to operations on the keyboard section 10.

The memory 30 includes a program memory in which a program indicating a processing procedure to be performed by the control unit 70 is stored, a text memory in which text with contents corresponding to the created sentence is stored, and a ROM in which internal characters are stored.
It is composed of etc. This memory 30 is provided with first to third tables 31 to 33. The first table 31 stores addresses corresponding to the numbers of the character keys 13 and the addresses of the second table 32, and the second table 32 stores the addresses of the third table 33.
The third table 33 stores character codes of internal characters, the number of characters, display codes, etc.

The external memory 40 is, for example, a floppy disk, and stores text corresponding to the created sentence as necessary.

The printer 50 prints out the created text as necessary.

The I/F 60 is for exchanging signals with the outside.

The control unit 70 controls the operation of reading data input from the keyboard unit 10, displaying it on the display unit 20 so that it can be seen that the data has been input, and storing the image data in the memory 30 according to a predetermined format. do. It also controls operations such as storing data in the external memory 40, printing with the printer 50, and exchanging signals with the outside via the I/F 60, as necessary. In the control unit 70, 71
is an internal character search means and controls internal character search. The specific operation of this internal character search means 71 will be described later.

Next, a method of calling internal characters using such a word processor will be explained.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operating procedure of the word processor of FIG. 1.

When the internal character calling mode key among the function keys 11 is pressed, the internal character reading mode is set.

Next, it is determined whether or not the character key 13 has been pressed. This is decision _D1 .

If judgment D ₁ is YES, the key number of the pressed key is read, and the internal character assigned to the character on the board specified by the key is stored in the first table 31.
is read from.

Here, a determination is made as to whether or not there are internal characters to be read. This is decision _D2 .

If the determination _D2 is "Yes", it is determined whether there is one element or two or more elements assigned to the specified character key. this is,
Judgment _D3 . For example, if the specified letter key on the board is the key shown in Figure 5, this key is assigned ``禾'' for ``autumn'' and ``fune'' for ``fune'', so judgment D ₃ is 2. Become an individual.

Judgment D: If there is only one ₃ , internal characters containing the corresponding element are displayed on the screen.

When judgment _D3 is two or more, a plurality of elements are displayed on the screen, and when one of these elements is selected, internal characters including the corresponding element are displayed on the screen.

Here, a desired one is selected from among the internal characters displayed on the screen and stored in the memory 30 (text memory of the memory 30). This selection is made by pressing the shift key at the position corresponding to the internal character to be input from among the displayed internal characters.

After that, return to the main loop.

A specific internal character search will be explained.

As an example, a case of searching for the internal character "笕" will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the procedure of internal character search.

When a character key including "綕" shown in FIG. 5 is specified, a predetermined position _A1 of the first table 31 is accessed. This predetermined position _A1 contains the number B1 of the character elements assigned to this key (in this case, there are two types, ``禾'' corresponding to ``autumn'' and ``fune'' corresponding to ``fune'', so it is 2). ) and the address of the second table 32 are stored. Based on this information, a predetermined position _A2 of the second table 32 is accessed. In this predetermined position, the address of the third table 33 in which information on the elements "禾" and "fune" is stored is stored. Since there are two elements, according to decision D ₃ ,
Since the elements "He" and "Fune" are shown, if you select "He" using the shift key, based on the information in the second table 32, the information on "He" in the third table 33 will be added. The accessed part _A3 is accessed, and the corresponding internal characters are displayed on the screen. Here, the internal character "秕" is designated by the shift key 12. Such a search is performed along the route shown below.

On the other hand, if a character key including ``Kita'' shown in FIG. 6 is specified, the internal character ``笕'' is searched for through the path . Even if other characters on the board containing "禾" are specified, the internal character "秕" is searched.

In addition, when searching for the internal character ``豁'', you can specify it using the character key on the board that includes ``harm'' or the character key that includes ``tani''.

Such a search for internal characters is performed based on a command from the internal character search means 71.

〔effect〕

According to the method according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

In other words, even internal characters that are difficult to read can be searched based on the constituent elements of the internal characters, making it easy to search for internal characters.

Furthermore, since the internal character is searched from characters on the board that have common constituent elements with the internal character, the number of characters that can be designated on the board is not necessarily one. This also provides the same effect as described above.

Also, keyboards that have internal characters assigned according to reading can be used as is without any mechanical changes.
