Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus, and more particularly to a document processing apparatus having a spelling verify function for input words.

[Prior Art] In recent years, document processing devices (word processors) have also been downsized,
It has become more and more popular. In particular, some electronic typewriters have made remarkable progress by maintaining the traditionally established typewriter function and adding new functions supported by recent electronic technology. The spelling verifiy function for key-in words is one of them. Even if the operator inputs a word, even if a spelling mistake is made, the typewriter itself makes a dictionary search and verifies, and immediately informs the user of an error, so there is an advantage that a complete document is created at the time of input.

However, this requires an enormous memory for the dictionary, and there is a drawback that the device is more expensive and larger than the conventional one. In addition, the time required for the processing by the control unit increases, which may hinder the operation.

Moreover, a dictionary containing only one word cannot handle special and specialized document processing, and inconvenience in operation is rather rare.

[Object] The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional example, and an object of the present invention is to provide a document processing apparatus that can check whether or not the spelling of a word is correct again after correcting the spelling of the word.

[Means for Solving Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the document processing apparatus of the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the input means for inputting the document data, the first instructing means for instructing the execution of the spell verify operation for the words contained in the document data input by the input means, and the instruction by the first instructing means First verifying means for executing a verifying operation of spelling on a word included in the document data input by the inputting means, and a spelling check for a word included in the document data input by the inputting means by the first verifying means. As a result of the execution of the verify operation, if it is determined that the word is spelled incorrectly, a correction instruction means for notifying that there is a spelling error and instructing correction of the spelling of the word, and an instruction by the correction instruction means Second instruction means for instructing execution of a spell verify operation for a word whose spelling has been corrected And, based on the instruction from the second instruction means,
Second verifying means for performing a verifying operation of spelling on the corrected word.

[Operation] In the above configuration, when the execution of the spell verify operation is instructed for the word included in the input document data, the spell verify operation for the word included in the input document data is performed based on the instruction. Run. If it is determined that the word is misspelled as a result of executing the spell verify operation for the word included in the input document data, the word is notified as a spelling error, and the word Instruct to correct spelling. Following this instruction, the spelling of the word has been corrected,
When the spell verify operation is instructed to the corrected word, the spell verify operation is performed to the corrected word based on the instruction.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an electronic typewriter (ET of an embodiment according to the present invention.
It is an external perspective view of FIG. In the figure, the platen knob 1
Is used for manually loading paper or for fine adjustment of the print position in the vertical direction. When the knob 1 is pushed inward, the connection with the internal drive pulse motor is released and the nose 1 can be manually rotated. Paper support 2
Is a paper guide plate for making the printing surface face the operator even when thin paper is used. The page end indicator 3 is a ruler that indicates the length to the end line of the paper, and the operator preliminarily adjusts the indicator 3 in the vertical direction as shown by the arrow according to the vertical length of the paper, and passes it through the platen. It is possible to know the length to the end line of the paper when the upper side of the paper that has come out reaches the scale position of the indicator 3. The release lever 4 is used when the pinch roller arranged below the platen is separated from the platen and the inclination of the sheet is manually corrected. Soundproof cover 5
Is for suppressing the impact sound of impact printing, and since it is made of transparent acrylic, the printed characters can be seen through the soundproof cover 5. When the typeface is changed or the ribbon cassette is replaced, the upper cover 6 is opened while rotating backward, and the type wheel loaded in the carriage portion is replaced or the ribbon cassette is replaced. This electronic typewriter has a lateral printing pitch of 10 characters, 12 characters, 15 characters per inch, and proportional spacing (hereinafter PS) that changes the printing pitch depending on the size of the type.
It is described as 4). The scale 8 has three scales engraved with 10-character pitch, 12-character pitch, and 15-character pitch, and the carriage indicator 7 has 3 LEs.
It is composed of a lamp such as D, and the lamp is mounted on a carriage, and the lamp corresponding to the pitch designated by the keyboard 10 is turned on to indicate the carriage position on the scale 8. The keyboard 10 is a character key group 10a for inputting and printing characters, and control key groups 10b, 10c arranged on both sides of the character key group 10a.
Consists of.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the operation panel of the electronic typewriter. In the figure, the "Pitch" key specifies the number of characters to be printed per inch as described above. "Pitc
Each time the “h” key is pressed, the display unit L1 which is composed of lamps such as LEDs relating to the pitch lights up in the order of 10, 12, 15, PS, and also in a cyclic manner. The unit of 10,12,15 is the number of characters / inc
Although it is h, the number of characters per inch for PS differs depending on the characters printed. The "Line Space" key indicates the line feed amount, and the basic unit length 1 of the line feed is 1/6 inch. In this case as well, the lamp L2 is lit cyclically by pressing the key as before. The "KB select" key is a key that cannot be selected by using the "SHIFT" key that specifies uppercase letters, lowercase letters, etc., that is, a single key such as K III.
It gives an alternative meaning to the key corresponding to the type of the seed. The "RM Control" key on the upper right is for instructing the function of the electronic typewriter in the right margin. Either JUST, AUTO, or OFF is selected each time the "RM Control" key is pressed. This is also indicated by the cyclic lighting of lamp L4. When the JUST lamp is lit, select the light stay stay function (right alignment) function,
Perform auto line feed when the AUTO lamp is lit.
OFF literally indicates nothing. "OP control" key Used to determine the print mode of the electronic typewriter. As in the previous case, one of C, W, L, and STORE lights up each time the key is pressed to indicate the print mode. C is character-by-character printing, W is word-by-word printing, L is line-by-line printing, STORE means registration in the internal storage device (text buffer TB), and STORE means line-by-line printing L mode. "MEMOR
The "Y" key is used to perform a character string (sentence) operation and declares the start of operation for the storage device. The margin release “MARREL” key is used to release the state where the key input is blocked (margin stop). For example, it is also used to release when a spell verify error occurs at the time of word input described later. Relocation "RE
The "LOC" key is used to correct the word entry and re-spell verifi. The lever switch SSW is a switch that selectively selects one of the three operation modes of the apparatus of this embodiment. When the switch lever is in the manual mode MN, the operator presses the "VER" key of the verifi-eye, and the spelling of the word just before that is verified. The operator inputs a word when the switch lever is located in the autoverify eye mode AV ("SPACE"
Every time you press a key, the word is automatically spelled. In the case of the above two modes, if the designation (STORE designation) to the internal storage device is made, the inputted word character code is stored as it is in the text buffer TB. In addition, the switch lever is in autoconversion mode.
When located in AVC, each time the operator inputs a word, it verifies the word spelling automatically, and at the same time, the word character code is converted into the corresponding word identification code ID. In this case, if STORE is designated for the internal storage device, the converted word identification code ID is stored in the text buffer TB.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the electronic typewriter. The same reference numerals are given to those already shown in FIG. 1, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the figure, 11 is a central processing unit (CPU) which controls the main control of an electronic typewriter (ETW), and 12 is a C.
ROM storing programs executed by the PU 11 (shown in FIGS. 6 to 9), 13 is RAM for temporarily storing keyed document data and data necessary for ETW control, and 14 is for printing document data. The printer unit, 15 spells verifiy key input words, and if necessary, converts between word character code and word identification code Spelling verifi unit (SVCU), 16 connects each of the above-mentioned components to CPU 11
It is a common bus inside TW.

Although not shown, by connecting a serial interface to the internal common bus 16, it is possible to perform data communication with another ETW or the like.

The SVCU 15 also includes a central processing unit (CPU) 152 that similarly controls the main control in order to realize its complicated operation with a simple configuration, and further includes a control program for the CPU 152 (see FIGS. 6 to 9). ROM153 with some procedures),
A RAM 154 for temporarily storing data and the like required for spelling verification, a dictionary memory (ROM) 155 for storing a huge number of spellings in a table, and each of these components.
SVCU internal common bus 156 connected to CPU152, and SVCU1
An interface that connects the entire 5 to the ETW internal common bus 16.
It consists of 151.

FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram showing the functional structure of the spelling verify unit (SVCU) 15 shown in FIG. In the figure, 157 is a spell check / conversion control unit (SVCC) realized by the configuration of the CPU 152 and ROM 153 of FIG. SV
The CC157 follows the key input data and various command data sent from the ETW via the interface 151, and controls the spelling verifiy of the key input word and forms the document data by the word identification code ID in the text buffer TB. The control for converting the code to the word identification code ID and the control for inversely converting the ID read from the text buffer TB for printing the document data including the word identification code ID into the character code data are performed. Further, in order to execute such control, the RAM 154 has a character counter CC that counts the number of key input character data sent from the ETW, a word buffer WB that stores one word of spelling (character code data),
A code buffer IDB that stores a word identification code ID and a flag buffer IDFB that stores a code of a word attribute are provided. Further, FIG. 4 shows an example of the structure of the dictionary memory 155. In the figure, one word consists of a spelling part SP, a word identification code ID, and an identification flag IDF consisting of an attribute code attached to the word, and these are stored in a table for a plurality of singular items. Therefore, SVCC157 is the spelling part SP of a word or word identification code ID.
The dictionary memory 155 can be searched for.

Although the examples are shown in English spelling, any other language such as Japanese, German, and French may be used.

Now, the main purpose of this type of device is usually to perform spelling verification of key input data. Of course, in the apparatus of this embodiment, the dictionary memory 155 as described above is prepared for that purpose. However, one of the features of the apparatus of this embodiment is that the dictionary memory is diverted to enable more efficient processing of document data. Hereinafter, the description will be made focusing on this point.

5 (a) to 5 (d) relate to the description of the operation of this embodiment, and FIG. 5 (a) is a diagram showing a case where a key input word is converted into a word identification code ID. In the figure, when there is a character key input from the keyboard 10, the key input data is line buffer LB of the RAM 13, the display buffer DB of the display unit 9, and the word buffer WB of the SVCU 15 according to the processing purpose.
Sent to. For example, in the line buffer LB, the purpose is to assemble 1 line data, and the display buffer DB
The purpose is to display 20 characters, and the purpose of word buffer WB is to extract words for dictionary search. According to one aspect of this embodiment, a word is separated by detecting the "SPACE" key input. Therefore, at some point the word "An
(Sp) ”key input, the character counter CC counts the number of characters (2) +1 of the word, and the word buffer WB stores the spelling (character code) of the word. Therefore, SVCC15
When 7 searches the dictionary memory 155 with this character code data, a comparison match is obtained with "An" in the spelling portion SP in FIG. 4, and the corresponding word identification code ID = 0023H (H is hexadecimal display. Is shown in the buffer IDB and the attribute code IDF = A is read in the flag buffer IDFB.
In this case, the attribute code "A" indicates that the search word is found in the dictionary. That is, it indicates that the word identification code 0023H in the IDB is valid. Based on this result, the ETW CPU 11 transfers the contents of the IDB to the text buffer TB, and as a result, the input character data can be converted into a short word identification code and stored. The following keystroke word, "electronic (sp)"
The same applies to "thermometer (sp)". It should be noted that the actual key input data is 26 characters (bytes) and is stored in the text buffer TB in a shortened form to 12 bytes (6 bytes).

FIG. 5 (b) is a diagram showing a case where proper nouns such as a person's name are automatically identified. Generally, a person's name is not familiar with a dictionary search. Therefore, in this embodiment, useless spelling verification is not performed for personal name input. However, if the person's name input is not foreseen somehow, it may be judged as the person's name input as a result of carrying out an unnecessary dictionary search. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is possible to identify a predetermined abbreviation that is usually placed before the personal name. For example, if a dictionary search match of Mr. "Mr." is obtained in the dictionary memory 155 of FIG. 4, the next word input is a person's name. In the present embodiment, in order to realize such control, the attribute code C is written in the IDF of such abbreviation "Mr." to distinguish it from other words. Besides, "Mrs.""D
If the same attribute code C is stored in an abbreviation having this type of attribute such as "r." ..., It is convenient because the same processing can be performed. This idea can also be easily applied to other types of attributes. Now, in FIG. 5 (b),
The CPU 11 of the ETW discriminates the attribute code IDF = C in the IDFB after the dictionary search for the word "Mr. (sp)" so as to prevent the next word from being automatically verified or transcoded. In this case, it becomes necessary to store the document data converted into the word identification code and the document data not converted into the text buffer TB in a mixed manner. Therefore, when storing in the TB the document data that is not converted like the proper noun, the CPU 11 puts a specific mark "*" at the beginning, then inserts the contents of the character counter CC to indicate the number of characters, and then The word's spelling (letter code) is stored as is.

FIG. 5C is a diagram showing a process when a key input error is made. In the figure, the word "stabir" is used in the first dictionary search.
The search result is negative (absent in the dictionary) because r of "ization" is an error of 1. In the embodiment, this is IDF = F
It shows with. Here, the attribute code F is the dictionary memory 155.
SVCC that detected the absence in the dictionary, not the one in
It was generated by 157. When the CPU 11 of the ETW detects this state, it reverses the word display of the display buffer (DB) and further applies a temporary margin stop to the keyboard 10 to call the operator's attention. In this state, the operator can perform operations such as returning the cursor to the left side. So, for example, return the cursor to the "r" position,
"R" can be changed to "l". After correction "REROC"
By pressing the key, the dictionary is searched again, and the word identification code ID = 4C35 and the attribute code IDF = A are transferred to the buffer IDB and IDFB, respectively, as shown in the figure. CPU11 is I at this point
Transfer the contents of DB to text buffer TB.

Figure 5 (d) shows the word identification code on the text buffer TB.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a case where document data including an ID is converted into character code data and printed. In the figure, the word identification code ID in the text buffer TB is RAM1 in SVCU.
Sent to IDB at 54. Next, the CPU 11 issues a code reverse conversion command to the SVCC157. As a result, the SVCC 157 searches the dictionary memory 155 with ID = 4C35, for example, and reads the corresponding character word “stabilization” into the word buffer WB.
Next, the CPU 11 prints this character code data
Transfer to B and print the characters one after another.

In this way, the apparatus of this embodiment has both a conversion means for converting character data to ID data and a conversion means for converting ID data to character data, and stores the document data in the text buffer TB in the form of a short word identification code ID. Makes it possible. Therefore, the text buffer size can be made significantly smaller than before, and conversely, if the same text buffer size is used, many page data can be stored. Moreover, in the case of performing data communication with other ETWs of this kind, even one page of text has a very short data length, so transmission is fast and efficient.

6 to 8 relate to the control means of the CPU 11 in the three operation modes of the apparatus of this embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the processing when the slide switch lever of the keyboard 10 is located in the manual mode MN. is there. In FIG. 3, the mode selection signal from the keyboard 10 selects and activates the MV processing program in the ROM 12. When the device is in this mode of operation, no normal spelling verifi- cation will be performed by pressing the "SPACE" key, but when the operator presses the "VER" key, the word entered immediately before that will be converted into a word and the spelling verifi Do. Since it is possible to specify the verifi eye only when necessary, such as when there is no confidence in the key input operation, high-speed key input processing is possible as a whole, which is a practical operation mode. Also, since the "VER" key has a function of forcibly separating words, this key is convenient because words can be separated at arbitrary places.

Step M1 waits for key input. In the step M2, "VE
It is judged whether or not the "R" key is pressed. If it is not the "VER" key, the process proceeds to step M3 to perform key input processing. The key input process is, for example, a process of transferring the input character code to the line buffer LB, the display buffer DB, and the word buffer WB. If the key input is a character editing key input, the corresponding processing (insertion, deletion, cursor movement, etc.) is executed. When it is "VER", the process proceeds to step M4, where a "start SVC (1)" command is issued to SVCC157, and step M5 waits for the end of processing of SVCC157. Where SVCC C
The processing executed by the PU 152 is indicated by steps S1 and S2.
In step S1, the contents of the word buffer WB are stored in the dictionary memory 15
5 is searched, and in step S2, the corresponding IDF is transferred to IDFB.
As a result, when SVCC is not busy (BSY) at step M5, it is checked at step M6 whether the content of IDFB is "F". If it is not "F", it means that the retrieval word has been found, and the program proceeds to step M7 to issue the "reset SVC" command. As a result, the CPU 152 of SVCC executes steps S3 and S4 to initialize the contents of the character counter C and the word buffer WB to O.
Next, the CPU 11 of the ETW executes the margin release at step M8 and waits for the next key input data at step M1.

If the content of IDFB is "F" in the determination of step M6, it means that the search word is not found in the dictionary. Flow applies Margin Stop to the keyboard with Step M9,
Make sure that no further digits are entered. However, it is possible to return the cursor and perform a certain key editing process. Margin Release "MAR REL" in Step M10
It is determined whether or not it is a key input, and if it is the "MAR REL" key, it indicates that spelling of the word is no longer a problem and the next word input is proceeded to, and the flow exits to step M7. "MAR REL"
If it is not a key, press the M11 relocation button "RELO
Whether or not it is the "C" key is determined, and if it is the "RELOC" key, the dictionary memory is searched again. This is the process when you want to check again after correcting the spelling error. If it is not the "RELOC" key, input key processing is performed with step M12. For example, it is a process of moving a cursor, inserting, deleting, converting, or the like in order to correct a misspelled spell. In this way, according to this operation mode, the spelling verify at any time by the operator is possible.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the processing when the slide switch lever of the keyboard 10 is located in the autoverify eye mode AV. In FIG. 3, a mode selection signal from the keyboard 10 selects and activates the AV processing program in the ROM 12. When the device is in this mode of operation, the normal “SP
Every time there is an "ACE" key input, it is judged to be a word break and the spelling verifi operation is automatically performed. When the operator presses the "VER" key while the device is in this operation mode, the word entered immediately before is pressed as a word to perform spelling verification. In this case, the "VER" key is "SPA
This key is convenient because it works by separating the words forcibly regardless of the "CE" key.

Now, in FIG. 7, the process blocks which perform the same processing as in FIG. 6 are given the same numbers and their explanations are omitted. As described above, in AV processing, verifai is automatically performed for all words. And the word division is done by identifying the "SPACE" key input. That is, in step A1, it is determined whether or not the key is the "SPACE" key, and if it is not the "SPACE" key, the process returns to step M1 and waits for the next key input. In addition, "SPAC
If the "E" key, the process proceeds to step A2 to check whether the content of the IDFB is C or not. When the content of IDFB is C, it indicates that SVCC157 verifies a predetermined word (abbreviation) added to the front of the person's name, for example, when the last word is input, and the flow advances to step A3. At step A3, the contents of IDBF are returned to A and no spelling verify operation is performed. This is because a person's name after the predetermined abbreviation does not fit into the dictionary search. However, proper nouns such as place names such as "Tokyo" can be treated in the same way as ordinary words. If IDF = C is not satisfied at step A2, it means that the input word is a normal word, and the flow advances to step M4 to execute the same processing as described in FIG.

Data transfer to the text buffer TB in this operation mode is performed as usual, for example, line buffer.
This is done by accumulating character code data for one line in LB.

Although not shown, for example, the word “An, I, H
Since "e, ..." and the like usually do not make a mistake in spelling, it is possible to prevent the spelling verifay from being judged by the CPU 11. The criterion can be determined on the condition that the number of characters is a predetermined number or less.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the processing when the slide switch lever of the keyboard 10 is located at the automatic verification eye and conversion AVC. In FIG. 3, a mode selection signal from the keyboard 10 selects and activates the AVC processing program in the ROM 12. Here, FIG. 6 and FIG.
Blocks of steps that perform processing equivalent to those in the figure are assigned the same numbers and explanations thereof are omitted. When the device is in this operation mode, it will automatically perform spelling verifay operation by judging it as a word break each time there is a normal "SPACE" key input, and the word with a positive verifai result corresponds. It is converted into a word identification code ID and stored in the text buffer TB. Also, when the operator presses the "VER" key while the device is in this operation mode, the word entered immediately before that is used as a word to perform spelling verification, as in the above description.

One feature of this operation mode is, for example, if it is determined in step A2 that the immediately preceding word is an abbreviation to be placed in front of the person's name, the process proceeds to step C1, the "*" signal and the character counter CC.
The contents and the contents of the word buffer WB are assembled and transferred to the text buffer TB. Since a person's name cannot be converted into a word identification code, the character code is stored as it is in TB, so that the CPU 11 can recognize later that it is data, for example, a specific mark "*" and the number of word characters are recorded. I chose As described above, it is suitable for a dictionary search such as a famous place name, so that it can be stored in the dictionary memory 155 in advance. If RAM is added as a part of the dictionary memory 155, appropriate data can be registered and used when the device is used.

Another feature of this operating mode is the step
When M6 determines that IDF = F is not satisfied, it means that a dictionary search comparison of words has been obtained, and the flow of the CPU 11 is step C2.
Proceed to the text identification code for the word ID code ID in the IDB.
It is to transfer to B. Also for this purpose SVCC CPU15
In step T1 executed by 2, the word identification code ID of the word obtained by the dictionary search comparison is transferred to IDB. When the key input process proceeds in this manner, the assembled character code and code-converted word identification code ID are mixed in the text buffer TB as document data.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the process of printing the document data stored in the text buffer TB. At step P1, the data (1 byte) from TB is read. At step P2, it is determined whether the data is the specific code "*". If the specific code is "*", the character number data and word data are still contained in TB, so the character number data is read in step P3, the number of character data according to the character number data is read in step P4, and read in step P5. The transferred word data is transferred to the print buffer PB. The data in the print buffer PB thus transferred is printed by another program (not shown) of ETW. At step P11, it is checked by the end sealer whether or not the text data ends, and if not ended, the process returns to step P1 and if ended, the print processing is ended.

If the specific code is not "*" at step P2, the next ID (1 byte) is read at step P6, and at step P7.
Transfer ID data to IDB of SVCU15. At step P8, a start SVCC (3) command is issued, and at step P9, SVCC157
Wait for the execution of. On the other hand, in step U1 executed by the CPU 152 of SVCC157, a dictionary search is performed using the ID data, and when a match is obtained, the spell SP of the corresponding word is read out and step U2
To transfer the spelling (letter code) to WB. ETW CPU152
Determines that SVCC is no longer BSY at step P9,
The contents of WB are transferred to PB in step P10. When the contents of WD are transferred to the display buffer, they are displayed on the display unit 9.

The present invention may be applied to a system including a plurality of devices or an apparatus including one device. The present invention can also be applied to a case where the present invention is achieved by supplying a program for implementing the present invention to a system or an apparatus.

As described above, according to the present invention, when it is determined that the word included in the document data is misspelled, the spelling of the word is corrected, and then the corrected word is corrected again. This has the effect of performing a verify action on the spell of to check if the corrected spell is correct.
