Description

The present invention relates to a character processing device such as a Japanese word processor.

(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, in this type of character processing device, a specific symbol such as "○" or "£" is used instead of an address, a family name, etc. in a fixed form document or the like.
If you want to use the standard document by registering it by entering etc., call the registered standard document and replace the specific symbol with the entered character to complete the standard document. Those who have are known.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above character processing device, if there is a line in which it is not necessary to input a character in the input mode in the standard document, it is necessary to leave no character input in that line. , The line remained in the standard document as a specific symbol, and when the standard document was printed in this state, the specific symbol was printed as it was. Therefore, in order to delete unnecessary lines, it is necessary to switch to the normal text input mode and delete the lines corresponding to partial deletion, which makes the key operation complicated.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and when there is a line that does not require character input during the input to the simple format,
An object of the present invention is to provide a character processing device capable of erasing unnecessary lines without switching the input mode.

(D) Means for Solving Problems As shown in FIG. 1, the configuration of the present invention has a first key input means 1, a display means 2 for displaying data, and a first text memory for storing input text data. 1 storage means 3 and second storage means 4 for storing a simple format composed of a series of pouring symbols
Reading means 5 for reading the simple format stored in the second storage means 4 and displaying it on the display means 2, searching means 6 for searching the flow-in symbol of the read simple format, and starting the flow-in from the key input means 1. The replacement means 7 for replacing the series of flow symbols searched by the search means 6 with the characters input by the key input means 1 in response to the key input indicating the, and the simplified format after the replacement is stored in the first storage means 3. The storing means 9 for storing and the flow symbol of the certain line based on the key input from the key input means 1 for instructing the start of the flow when a character to be replaced for a series of flow symbols forming a certain line of the simplified format is not inputted. And a line erasing means 8 for erasing the line.

(E) Action The reading means 5 reads the simplified format stored in the second storage means 4 from the second storage means 4 and displays it on the display means 2. The search means 6 searches for the flow-in symbol read out and in the simple format. By the key input of the pouring start instruction, the pouring symbol is replaced by the character inputted by the key input means 1 by the replacing means 7 and displayed on the display means 2. If there is a line in a simple format that does not require character input among the flow symbols searched by the search means 6, when the key input means 1 receives a key input for instructing the flow start without inputting characters, the line is deleted. The means 8 erases the corresponding flow symbol and the line. And the simplified form that has been replaced and deleted is the first
The data is stored in the storage means 3 by the storage means 9, and the input to the simple format is completed. Therefore, if there is a line in which it is not necessary to input characters to the flow-in symbol, the unnecessary line can be deleted without switching the input mode by key operation.

(F) Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention.
A key input device 11 is provided with a plurality of function keys and an alphabet / kana (character) key for inputting characters. A central processing unit 12 comprises, for example, an 8-bit or 16-bit microcomputer, processes input data from the key input device 11, and displays it.
13, data is exchanged with the storage device 14 and the printing device 15. The display device 13 may be composed of, for example, a CRT or a liquid crystal display device. The storage device 14 stores a simplified format buffer 14a for storing a simplified format (fixed format), and sentence data after the flow symbol (mark) is replaced with characters and edited, or sentence data created in the normal input mode. And a flow input buffer 14c for storing the simple format stored in the simple format buffer 14a when replacing and editing. The flow input is the flow symbol preset in the simple format.
This is a function that allows the user to input desired characters and create sentence data when desired. The printing device 15 prints a text or the like formed by a thermal transfer printer or a dot impact printer on a printing paper.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the operation of this embodiment.

First, when the pouring mode is activated, the central processing unit 12
Is displayed from the simple processing buffer 14a on the calling display device 13 as shown in FIG. 4 (a) (step 100). The simple format is a flow code 16, a ∘ code, and a series of ∘ codes. It is composed of an edit symbol (code) 17 displayed at the beginning of the. The edit symbol 17 is displayed, for example, "right claw", "left claw", "centering", and so on. The called simple format is stored in the text buffer 14b (step 101), and the flow symbol 16 is searched (step 1).
02). Next, the result of the search is judged (step 103),
If the flow-in symbol 16 is present, the editing code 17 is searched (step 104). When it is determined in step 103 that there is no flow-in symbol, the edit code for canceling the flow-in mode, that is, the normal input code, is searched from the edit code 17 (step 105), and if there is the normal input code (step 106), the normal input mode Automatically switch modes.
That is, if the normal input code is set at a desired position in the simple format, a text or the like can be input from that position in the normal input mode.

When the edit code 17 is searched in step 104, it is determined whether or not the edit code means a "right claw" (step 107), and if the code is a "right claw", the right claw edit flag is set ( (Step 108) If the code is not the "right claw" in step 107, it is judged whether it is a code that means "centering" (step 109), and if it is the "centering" code, the centering edit flag is set (step 110). ). In step 109, it is judged whether it is a code that means "left claw" if it is not the "centering" code (step 111), and if it is a "left claw" code, the "left claw edit flag is set (step 111).
112), if the code is not "left claw", the process returns to step 102.

After one of the respective flags is set, the central processing unit 12 waits for the input of the pouring data from the key input device 11 (step 113). Here, it is assumed that the code of "right claw" is retrieved as the edit code 17. When the flow-in data is input while waiting for the flow-in data to be input (step 114), it is displayed on the display device 13 as shown in FIG. 4 (b), and the flow-in data is stored in the flow-in input buffer 14c ( In step 115), it is judged whether or not there is an instruction to start pouring (step 116). The pouring is started by operating the execution key, for example. If there is an instruction to start pouring, the edit flag is checked (step 117),
It is judged whether or not the right claw edit flag is set (step 118), and if it is set, the right claw is performed by replacing the series of flow symbols with the flow data of the input characters or the like (step 119). It is displayed on the display device 13 as shown in FIG. Next, a search is made to see if there is a pour symbol 16 in the left part of the series of pour symbols after the replacement and the right squeezing (step 120). Then, the result of the search is judged (step 121), and the pour symbol is inserted in the left part. If there is a symbol 16, that flow symbol 16 is replaced with the code for the "space" (step 122). That is, for example, if there are 8 flow symbols in a series, if five characters are input, "right claw" is displayed. When editing, there will be a flow symbol 16 to the left of the five characters entered, which has not been replaced by a character. However, this is the "space" code, and when the simple format is printed, the characters The flow symbol that was not replaced with is prevented from being printed. Next, contrary to the above, the flow-in symbol 16 on the right side is searched (step 123), and then the result of the search is judged (step 124). "Right claw"
When the editing process of is performed, since the pouring symbol 16 does not remain in the right side portion, the process returns to step 102 to search for the next pouring symbol. When it is determined in step 124 that the flow symbol 16 is present in the right side portion, the flow symbol 16 remaining after the replacement, that is, after the flow input is completed (determined) is deleted (step 125). That is, if it is determined in step 109 that the "centering" code is present, the above-described steps 110 to 117 are executed, and in step 118, the "right claw edit flag set state is determined. Since it has not been set, it is determined whether the centering edit flag is set (step 126). If it is determined that the centering edit flag is set, a series of flow symbols are replaced with flow data to perform centering. (Step 127) When centering is performed in this way, if the number of flow symbols set is greater than the number of characters to be input, the flow symbols will remain on the left and right of the input characters. However, as described above, these flow-in symbols remaining without replacement are
After the execution of step 127, the code of the space is automatically replaced and the deletion is performed by steps 120 to 125.

If the edit flag is checked in step 117 and the right claw and centering edit flags are not set and the left claw edit flag is set (step 128), "right claw", "centering" As in the case of “”, the replacement and the left claw processing are performed (step 129).

As described above, the simple format created by replacing the flow symbol with a character and editing it with the edit code is the same as the text entered in the normal input mode.
It is stored in 14b. If no data is input to the pouring symbol and pouring start is instructed, step 12
By 0 to 125, one line is deleted. That is, since there is no flow-in symbol on the left side of the cursor on the screen and there is a flow-in symbol only on the right side, the flow-in symbol is erased by steps 123 to 125, and therefore one line is erased. This line erasing not only executes the line of the simple format which is read and is currently being input, but also the line erasing process of the corresponding line of the simple format stored in the simple format buffer 14a corresponding to this simple format. Is.

In the above embodiment, "right claw", "centering", and "left claw" are explained as the editing code, but a combination of "centering" and "underline", "double angle" or "equal allocation" is used. It may be a code that means an editing function such as.

The simple format may be set in a mask ROM or the like, may be set by the user arbitrarily, and the already set format may be changed by the user to a desired format. May be.

(G) Effect of the Invention According to the present invention, unnecessary lines in the simple format can be displayed by simply inputting a flow start instruction without inputting characters without switching from the flow mode to the normal input mode. Since it is possible to delete in units, a special key operation for deleting is unnecessary, and the usability of the simple format input function is improved.
