Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device, and in particular, to a document processing device that determines a registration mode or a deletion mode applicable to a spell-checked word based on the result of a spell-check process. and displaying its name.

[Prior art]

In general, a word processor for English, for example, is equipped with a fixed dictionary memory that stores spelling information for multiple words in its control device, a user dictionary memory that stores spelling information for multiple words that can be registered and deleted, and a Many of them are equipped with a check processing control program so that spell check processing can be executed for each input word.

Conventionally, in word processors equipped with this spell check function, spelling information for words such as proper nouns that are not registered in the fixed dictionary memory can be registered in the user dictionary memory using the "Register" key, and spelling information for words that have already been registered can be registered using the "Delete" key. You can delete the spelling information for the word from the user dictionary memory.

Recently, based on the results of spell check processing, when registering misspelled words such as proper nouns in the user dictionary memory or deleting already registered words from the user dictionary memory, for example, "1 :Registration,
2: A menu consisting of the registration mode name ``Register'' and the deletion mode name ``Delete'' is displayed, such as ``Delete'', and ``Register'' or ``Delete'' can be selected from this menu. ing.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] Generally, when registering or deleting word data of an input word from the user dictionary memory, only one of registration and deletion can be applied to the input word. Only.

However, as mentioned above, in English word processors that allow you to select "Register" or "Delete" using the cursor on the menu displayed during spell checking, there is a fixed dictionary of spell checked words. Although only registration mode or deletion mode can be applied to items that do not exist in memory or user dictionary memory, or items that are stored in user dictionary memory, "registration" and "deletion" are always performed at the same time. Since it will be displayed,
Problems include that the menu contents are unreasonable and unfriendly for the operator, and that the operator has to judge and select whether to apply "registration" or "delete" each time, resulting in poor operability. be.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a document processing device that displays only the names of registration modes and deletion modes that are applicable to spell-checked words.

[Means to solve the problem]

As shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the document processing device according to the present invention includes an input means for inputting characters, symbols, and various command signals, and an input data buffer for storing input characters and symbols. , a display means for receiving and displaying data from an input data buffer, a fixed dictionary memory storing spelling information of a plurality of words, and a user dictionary memory storing spelling information of a plurality of words that can be registered and deleted. A dictionary memory means, a spell check means for searching the dictionary memory means for a word input to the input data buffer and checking the spelling, and a registration mode for registering words in the user dictionary memory and a deletion mode for deleting the words, respectively. In a document processing device comprising a settable mode setting means and a registration deletion control means for performing registration control or deletion control in a mode set by the mode setting means, spell checking by a spell checking means for each of both dictionary memories is performed. a mode determining means for determining a registration mode or a deletion mode applicable to the spell-checked word based on the result; and a display means displaying the name of an applicable mote in response to the determination result from the mode determining means. and a mode display control means for controlling the display mode.

[Effect]

In the document processing device according to the present invention, the mode determining means applies spell checking to the spell checked input word based on a spell check result obtained by spell checking the word input to the input data buffer using the spell check means. Determine possible registration or deletion modes.

The mode display control means receives the determination result from the mode determination means and causes the display means to display the name of the applicable mode.

That is, upon receiving the result of the spell check by the spell check means, if the same word as the input word does not exist in both dictionary memories, the mode determination means determines that the registered mode is a compatible mode, and also determines that the registered mode is compatible with the input word. When the word exists in the user dictionary memory, the deletion mode is determined to be an applicable mode.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the document processing device according to the present invention, since only the name of the mode applicable to the spell-checked word is displayed by including the mode discrimination means and the mode display control means, the displayed content can be changed. It can be streamlined and the operability when registering or deleting can be greatly improved.

〔Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

This embodiment is a case where the present invention is applied to a word processor.

As shown in FIG. 2, a keyboard 3 is disposed at the front of the body frame 2 of the word processor 1.
A daisy-wheel type printing mechanism PM is provided in the main body frame 2 at the rear of the keyboard 3, and a liquid crystal display 10 capable of displaying one line of characters and symbols is provided at the rear of the keyboard 3.

The keyboard 3 has character keys including alphabet keys, numeric keys, and symbol keys, a space key return key, cursor movement keys for moving the cursor on the display 10, and various function keys, etc., just like a normal keyboard. At the same time, there is a registration key for setting the registration mode for registering the word data of the input word in the user dictionary memory 9, and a registration key for setting the deletion mode for deleting the same word as the input word from the user dictionary memory 19. A delete key and a menu display key for displaying menus related to spell checking and word registration and deletion are provided.

The printing mechanism PM has a general configuration including a platen, a carriage, a daisy wheel, and the like.

Next, the control system of the word processor 1 is constructed as shown in the block circle of FIG.

The display mechanism DM is a general display device comprising a liquid crystal display 10 and a display controller 11 including a display RAM for outputting display data to the display 10 and a character generator ROM storing a large number of dot patterns such as characters and symbols. It has a similar structure. still,
Reference numeral AM designates an alarm mechanism that includes a buzzer 12 and a drive circuit 13 that causes the buzzer 12 to sound.

The control device C is composed of a CPU 16, an input/output interface 14 connected to the CPU 16 via a data bus or the like I5, ROMs 17 and 18, and RAMs 19 and 20.

The program memory of the ROM 17 includes a control program that controls the display mechanism DM in response to code data input from the keyboard 3, a control program that stores the code data in the input data buffer 21 and the line buffer 22, and applicable mode determination. Control programs, menu display control programs, etc. are stored.

The applicable mode determination control program stores a spell check processing control subroutine for executing spell check processing on each word of the document data stored in the input data buffer 21.

The menu display control program includes a registration control subroutine for registering word data of the word specified when the registration mode is set in the user dictionary memory 19, and a registration control subroutine for registering word data of the word specified when the registration mode is set, and word data that is the same as the word data specified when the deletion mode is set. A deletion control subroutine for deleting the spelling data of from the user dictionary memory 19 is stored.

Since the spell check processing control is well known, it will be briefly explained.The word data of the words input from the keyboard 3 and stored in the input data puff 21 is stored in the fixed dictionary memory of the ROM 18 and the user dictionary memory of the RAM 19. It checks the spelling by comparing it with a large number of word data.

In the fixed dictionary memory of the ROM 1B, spelling data relating to approximately 70,000 words, for example, is stored in alpha-heads like a normal dictionary in order to check the spelling of words.

The user dictionary memory of the RAM 19, which is non-volatile or backed up, stores spelling data for any plurality of words in a manner that can be registered and deleted.

The input data buffer 21 of the RAM 20 has a memory capacity for approximately five print lines, and document data input from the keyboard 3 is stored therein.

The line buffer 22 stores the document data in the input data buffer 21 and displayed on the display 10 for one print line.

The cursor pointer 23 stores one address within the line buffer 22 corresponding to the cursor display position. Let this content be the cursor pointer CP.

One address in the manual data buffer 21 based on the data of the cursor pointer 23 is stored in the buffer pointer 24 . Let this content be the buffer pointer BP.

The flag memory 25 stores a spell check flag SF that is set when spell check processing control is activated. The flag memory 26 stores a registration mode flag AP that is set to set the registration mode. The flag memory 27 stores a deletion mode flag set to set the deletion mode.

Next, the applicable mode determination control and menu display control routines performed by the control device C of the word processor 1 will be described. First, the applicable mode determination control routine will be explained based on the flowchart of FIG. 4. Note that the menu display control is preset so that the spell check process is executed. In the figure, St
(i=1.2.3...) is each step.

Every time various keys such as a character key or a space key are operated on the keyboard 3, code data corresponding to that key is stored in the input data buffer 21 and line buffer 22, and this control is started at the same time. When a word separation key such as a return key is operated (SIO: Yes), both flags AP and Kano are reset (S11), and when flag SF is set (S12: Yes), the input data buffer 21 is reset. The word data of the latest input word indicated by the cursor is read based on the buffer pointer BP (S13), and the spelling data stored in the user dictionary memory of the RAM 19 is first searched for the input word data (314).
, when the same word as the input word does not exist (S15
: No), the spelling data stored in the fixed dictionary memory of ROM 1B is searched (S16), and if the same word does not exist (S17: No), the buzzer 12 sounds to warn of misspelling (31B), and the flag AP is is set and the flag is reset (S19), this control is ended and the process returns to the main routine. That is, since the input word is, for example, a proper noun, and the same word as this input word does not exist in the user dictionary memory 19 or the fixed dictionary memory 18, at this point, the input word that has been spell checked is The applicable registration mode is set.

On the other hand, if the same word exists as a result of spell checking the input word using the user dictionary (515:
Yes), the flag AP is reset and the flag YES is set (320). That is, since the same word as this human-generated word exists in the user dictionary memory 19, at this point, a deletion mode applicable to this input word is set.

Furthermore, when the same word as the input word exists in the fixed dictionary memory 18 (315: No, S17: Yes), both flags AF - DF are reset (321). That is, at this point, neither the registration mode nor the deletion mode is applicable to this input word, so neither mode is set.

Furthermore, when a key other than the word separator key is operated (S
10: No), and when the flag SF is reset (S12: No), this control is ended.

Next, a menu display control routine will be explained based on FIG. 5.

This control starts when the menu display key is operated,
First, menu display processing control is executed (530). This display processing fee? When Il (Fig. 6) is started, the document data displayed on the display 10 is erased (S
50) First, information regarding spell check processing settings is displayed at a predetermined position on the display 10 (S51).

When the flag AF is set and the registration mode is set (S52: Yes), the name of the registration mode is displayed (S53), and when the flag is set and the deletion mode is set (S54). :Yes
), the name of the deletion mode is displayed (S55), and when both flags AP-DF are reset and neither the registration mode nor the deletion mode is set (S55), the name of the deletion mode is displayed (S55).
54: No), no mode name is displayed, this control is ended, and the process moves to S31. For example, flag AP
is set and the registration mode is set, as shown in FIG. 7(a), the information rSP 0N10FFJ regarding the spell check setting is displayed with the number "1j", and the names of the applicable registration modes rADD, is displayed with the number "2".

On the other hand, when the flag leaf is set and the deletion mode is set, the name rDELJ of the applicable deletion mode is displayed with the number "2" as shown in FIG. 7(b).

Then, each time the number key "1" is operated (S31-3
32: Yes), the 7-lag SF is reset (S34)
, or is set (S35), and after the displayed menu is erased, the document data is displayed (336), this display control is ended, and the process returns to the main routine.

When the number key “2” is operated (S31/S37:
(Yes), when the flag AP is set and the registration mode is set (338: Yes), the word data pointed to by the buffer pointer BP is stored in the user dictionary memory 1.
9 (S39), and when the flag is set and the deletion mode is set (S40: Yes
), the spelling data that is the same as the word data indicated by the buffer pointer BP is deleted from the user dictionary memory 19 (S41).

When the cancel key is operated (S31-342
:Yes), return via S36, but press numeric key 51'', r2. When a key other than the cancel key is operated (S42: No), and when the result in S40 is No, the buzzer 12 sounds (343).

Here, in addition to checking whether the spelling of a word is correct, the spell check includes a knee-sage alert process that checks for homophones and the like. In knee-sage alert processing, target words are stored in a fixed dictionary, and words that the user wants to exclude from the fixed dictionary are stored in the user dictionary. Then, if the word you want to process for Knee Sage Alert is in the fixed dictionary but not in the user dictionary, the name of the deletion mode will be displayed.

Furthermore, if the word to be processed exists in both the fixed dictionary and the user dictionary, the name of the registration mode is displayed to ask the user whether or not to target that word again.

As explained above, the applicable registration mode or deletion mode for the spell-checked word is determined and its name is displayed, so the display contents of the menu can be streamlined and registration or deletion can be executed. This greatly improves operability when

Incidentally, if a dedicated message line is provided on the display, the menu contents may be displayed on this message line without erasing the display of document data.

It goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to various document processing apparatuses that have various printers such as thermal printers and are capable of spell check processing, such as electronic typewriters and word processors for Roman languages.
