Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a word processor, and in particular, it is required from the above blocks that are sequentially displayed among a plurality of symbols divided into a plurality of blocks when a symbol is input. The present invention relates to a word processor capable of selecting and inputting symbols.

<Prior Art> In the input of symbols in a word processor, a plurality of symbols previously divided into a plurality of blocks B1, B2, ..., Bn are sequentially displayed for each block as shown in FIG. Select the desired symbol from the block and enter it. The display order of the blocks B1, B2, ..., Bn is fixed.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> As described above, since the display order of the blocks B1, B2, ..., Bn is fixed, when the text is input, the symbol related to the previously input symbol is input. Even if you do, the block containing the symbol you are trying to enter is displayed from block B1 every time,
It was necessary to perform a troublesome display operation.

<Means for Solving Problems> The present invention divides a plurality of symbol data into block units and repeatedly displays them in a predetermined order, and selects and inputs desired symbol data in the displayed blocks. In the word processor configured to do so, the symbol input key for instructing the start of symbol input, the next block display instruction key for instructing the display of the block following the current display block, and the next block display instruction key for the next block are displayed in the reverse order. A previous block display instructing key for instructing display, a first storage means for storing a large number of symbol data divided into blocks in advance, and a second storage for storing block information to which previously selected symbol data belongs.
The second means based on the operation of the storage means and the previous symbol input key.
Each symbol data belonging to the block corresponding to the block information stored in the storage means is read from the first storage means, and each symbol data belonging to the block succeeding the read block is operated based on the operation of the next block display instruction key. A reading unit that sequentially reads from the first storage unit and sequentially reads from the first storage unit the symbol data belonging to the block immediately before the block that has already been read based on the operation of the previous block display instruction key, and the reading unit that reads the symbol data. By providing a display unit for displaying each symbol data of the issued block unit, each symbol data of the block to which the previously selected symbol data belongs is preferentially displayed.

Further, the reading means may be provided with a function of reading each symbol data belonging to the head block stored in the first storage means based on the operation of a specific key.

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 shows the basic configuration of a word processor of this embodiment. Reference numeral 1 is a keyboard having keys for inputting characters and numbers and various function keys, and 2 is a display device for sequentially displaying the input sentence and the above blocks of a plurality of symbols divided into a plurality of blocks in advance. 3 is a memory area for storing an input sentence and a system program for sentence processing, 4 is a memory area for storing a block number to which a previously input symbol belongs, and 5 is an input character string. The sentence processing device performs a process of editing a sentence, a process of displaying a symbol block and a process of inputting a symbol, which will be described later.

In this word processor, when a symbol is input, the block to which the previously input symbol belongs is first displayed this time, thereby facilitating continuous input of related symbols. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the symbol "I" is input last time, the block Bn to which the symbol "I" belongs is displayed at the time of inputting the symbol this time. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform a complicated display. Furthermore, when a plurality of symbols are displayed in blocks in a predetermined number, even if they are in the same group (brackets, numbers, arrows, etc.), they may span different blocks depending on the number to be displayed.
For example, "I, II, III, IV, V" of block Bn in FIG.
“VI, VII, VIII, IX, X” of block Bn ₊₁ is a group of Arabic numeral symbols, but since the number of displayed symbols is 5, the desired symbol may be spread over two display groups. . If the previous input is “VI” and the symbol to be input this time is “V”, the block learned by the previous input causes the screen to show “VI, VII, V” of block Bn _{+ 1.}
III, IX, X "will be displayed. However, if the operator looks at such a screen, it can be easily determined that" V "exists in the previous block. In such a case, the block Bn of the previous block can be
Can be displayed, the symbols of the same group can be displayed, and operability is improved.

The processing procedure will be described below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, after the input with the symbol input key (not shown) of the keyboard 1, it is checked whether or not the number of the block to which the previously input symbol belongs is stored in the memory area 4 (steps # 1, # 2). When the block number is stored in the memory area 4, the symbols belonging to the block of that number are displayed on the display device 2 (step # 3). If the block number is not stored in the memory area 4,
The symbol belonging to the block of number B1, that is, the first block is displayed on the display device 2 (step # 4).

In the key input process after step # 5, the symbol of the block before the currently displayed block is displayed by the input of the previous block display instruction key with the ↑ mark on the key top of the keyboard 1 (step # 6). Do (step #
7). By inputting a next block display instruction key having a ↓ mark on the key top (step # 8), the symbol of the block next to the currently displayed block is displayed (step # 9). By inputting the function block and the front block display instruction key having the ↑ mark on the key top (step # 10), the symbol of the first block (block number B1) is displayed (step # 11). Enter the numeric keys (step # 12)
When a symbol is selected from the blocks being displayed, the number of the block is stored in the memory area 4 (step # 13). That is, for example, if the desired symbol to be input belongs to the block immediately before the currently displayed block, or if the desired symbol is included in the currently displayed block, the next block When the display instruction key is erroneously operated, it is possible to immediately move to the display of each symbol of the block including the desired symbol by operating the previous block display instruction key, which is complicated due to the display movement in one direction. There is no need to perform useless operations. In addition, since each symbol is generally divided into blocks and stored in order from the one with the highest frequency of use, the symbol with the lowest frequency of use is input the last time, and the symbol that should be input this time is the first block or the second block with the highest frequency of use. It is often the case that the operator belongs to the block.
By simultaneously operating the function key and the previous block display instruction key, a block including a desired symbol can be contributed extremely quickly.

<Effect> As described above, in the present invention, the block to which the previously input symbol belongs is stored, and the content of the stored block is displayed first when the next symbol is input. When entering a symbol that is related to the previously entered symbol, it is not necessary to display the blocks in a complicated way, and moreover, the previously infrequently used symbols can be entered or the desired block is displayed. Even if a symbol is present and the display moves to the next block due to an erroneous operation, the previous block display instruction key can be used to quickly move to the display of the block to which the desired symbol belongs. Therefore, the operation of the word processor can be simplified and the work efficiency can be improved.
