Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus having a document processing function. In an information processing apparatus having a document processing function, the position of the cursor after the document is moved or the copy function is executed comes to the end of the sentence after the document is moved or copied. Here, if the user wants to correct the document, the cursor must be moved from the end of the sentence to the position to be corrected. The wider the range of correction, the longer it takes to move the cursor, and the more time is required.

Therefore, it is necessary to easily return the cursor to a predetermined position.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional destination of a cursor movement after a document is moved or copied is described with reference to an example. Figure 7
At, the document indicated by A is copied to the position indicated by B. First, the range to be moved or copied is designated by the cursor, and then the execute key is pressed. Then, the position of the moving or copying destination is designated by the cursor, and the execute key is pressed.

FIG. 8 shows a screen after moving and copying. In FIG. 8, the position of the cursor after execution of the movement and copying is indicated by C and comes to the end of the sentence of document B. Here, in order to correct “(1)” within the range of the document B, the cursor must be moved from the end of the document B to the beginning of the sentence.

The wider the range of the document B, the more time and labor it takes to bring the cursor to "(1)". To move the cursor back to the beginning of the sentence, do the following. (1) Continue pressing the cursor movement key upward. (2) Depress the page designation key, specify the page number, depress the execution key, and further depress the cursor movement key downward or upward.

(3) The previous page key is pressed, and the cursor movement key is continuously pressed downward or upward. In this way, the key was repeatedly pressed in all cases.

[0007]

As described above, in the conventional information processing apparatus having the document processing function, the wider the moved / copied area is, the more the cursor is moved from the end of the sentence to the beginning of the sentence to which the cursor returns. There was a problem that it took time and effort to go. The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and it is an object of the present invention to easily return a cursor to a predetermined position to reduce time and labor.

[0008]

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the present invention. The present invention is intended for an information processing device that uses a cursor to move a graphic or a document and copies the same on a screen, and a conversion key that outputs a command for returning the cursor to a predetermined position after execution of processing. 13, storage means 8 for storing a predetermined return position of the cursor and the current cursor position, and conversion processing means 4A for converting the cursor from the current cursor position to the predetermined return position. Is characterized by.

[0009]

According to the information processing apparatus of the present invention having such a configuration, a command for returning the cursor to a predetermined position is output and stored after executing the processing of moving a figure, moving a document, or copying. Since the cursor conversion processing is performed from the current cursor position stored in the means to the predetermined return position, the cursor return position can be selected, and the processing time and labor can be reduced. You can

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 2 to 6 are views showing an embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 is a display unit, and a document or the like is displayed on the screen of the display unit 1, and a cursor is also displayed. The display unit 1 is C through the display control unit 2 and the bus 3.
It is connected to PU4.

A keyboard 5 is used to input a document or the like from the keyboard 5 and to instruct to move the cursor. The keyboard 5 is connected to the CPU 4 via the keyboard interface unit 6 and the bus 3. 7 is RO
The ROM 7 stores a program for returning the cursor to a predetermined position.

Reference numeral 8 is a RAM (storage means)
Stores the cursor return position (for example, the beginning and end of a sentence) and the current return position. The CPU 4 controls each part and has a function as a conversion processing unit 4A for converting the cursor from the current position of the cursor to a predetermined return position. Next, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the keyboard 5.

In FIG. 3, 9 is a move key, 10 is a copy key, 11 is an execute key, 12 is a cursor move key, and 13
Is a conversion key, and 14 is a character input key. Moving documents,
When copying, the move key 9 and the copy key 10 are pressed, the cursor move key 12 is used to specify the range to be copied and copied, and the execute key 11 is pressed and then the move,
Specify the position of the copy destination with the cursor movement keys 12,
Press the execute key 11.

In order to return the cursor to a predetermined position after executing such processing, the conversion key 13 is pressed to give a return instruction. Next, FIG. 4 shows a RAM
It is a figure which shows the structure of No. 8. In FIG. 4, the storage area 15 of the RAM 8 stores the figure movement and copy range top cursor line as, for example, the label CSLLT, and the storage area 16 stores the figure movement and copy range top cursor digit, for example, the label C.
Stored as SLCT, move the figure to the storage area 17,
The last cursor line of the copy range is stored as, for example, the label CSLLL, and the storage area 18 stores the figure movement and the last cursor position of the copy range as, for example, the label CSLCL.

The storage area 19 stores the current cursor display digit, and the storage area 20 stores the current cursor display row. That is, the RAM 8 stores the start and final return positions of the cursor and the current return position, and by pressing the conversion key 13, conversion processing of the current return position is performed.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart explaining the operation. In FIG. 5, step S
The processing from 1 to step S4 is the same as the conventional one. In step S4, the process of moving and copying on the screen is finished, and the cursor is at the end of the sentence.

If it is desired to bring the cursor to the beginning of the sentence, the process branches to NO in step S5 and the conversion key 13 is pressed in step S6. As a result, the position of the cursor moves from the end of the sentence to the beginning of the sentence. After that, the process returns to the determination of step S5 again, and if the position of the cursor at this point is acceptable, the process branches to the direction of "YES", and the process ends. If “NO”, the conversion key 13
By pressing, the cursor moves to the end of the sentence again.

That is, by pressing the conversion key 13 after executing the processing, the position of the cursor is changed from the beginning of the sentence → the end of the sentence → the beginning of the sentence → the end of the sentence → the beginning of the sentence. Next, the internal processing is shown in FIG.
A description will be given based on the flowchart. First, in step S11, a key input is waited after the figure movement and copying are completed. Next, in step S12, it is determined whether or not the conversion key 13 has been pressed. If any key other than the conversion key 13 is pressed, the process is terminated and the process of the corresponding key is performed.

When the conversion key 13 is pressed, it is determined in step S13 whether the top display is being performed. That is, it is determined whether the current return position of the RAM 8 is the top display. If the head display is not displayed, the cursor display column and the cursor display line of the RAM 8 are converted into the head cursor line and the head cursor column in step S14.

If the head is being displayed, step S15
Converts the cursor display column and cursor display line to the final cursor line and final cursor column. Next, in step S16, the return position of the current cursor which is the first or last conversion processing is displayed. As described above, the return position of the cursor can be freely selected and the conversion key 13 can be pressed to move to a predetermined return destination, so that the time and labor can be reduced.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to select the return position of the cursor after executing the moving / copying process by pressing the conversion key. It is possible to reduce the time and labor.
