BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a Japanese word processor, and more particularly to an automatic editing function.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art In document input and editing procedures for Japanese word processors, character strings are usually entered using a keyboard using Roman characters or kana characters. In addition, the operator determines from which digit the input character string should be placed by referring to the previous line, etc., and by moving the input character string or placing it in front of the input character string. By inserting a space, it is placed at the determined position.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In conventional Japanese word processors, as described above, the operator determines the placement position for each block of input character strings,
It is necessary to perform an operation to arrange the document at the determined location, which requires a lot of effort and requires a lot of time to input the document.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to automatically determine the placement position of a document and automatically place the document at the determined placement position.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The means of the present invention are as follows. A document data storage means 1 (see the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the same applies hereinafter) stores input document data. The document data dividing means 2 divides the document data stored in the document data storage means 1 into a plurality of blocks. The level information adding means 3 adds level information to each block of document data divided by the document data dividing means 2. The document data rearranging means 4 rearranges the document data of each block divided by the document data dividing means 2 based on the level information added to each block by the level information adding means 3.

[0006]

[Operation] The operation of the means of the present invention is as follows. The document data dividing means 2 divides the document data stored in the document data storage means 1 into a plurality of blocks, and the level information adding means 3 adds level information to each block of the divided document data. Then, the document data rearranging means 4 rearranges the document data of each block divided by the document data dividing means 2 based on the level information added to each block. Therefore, it is possible to automatically determine the placement position of the document and to place the document in the determined placement position, thereby reducing the time required for inputting the document.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 10. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the Japanese word processor with automatic editing function according to the embodiment.
1 is a CPU that controls the entire system. 12 is the above CPU
This is a ROM in which a control program executed by the computer 11 is stored. Reference numeral 13 denotes a RAM, which has a document storage area 131 for storing document data, an editing information storage area 132 for storing various information for realizing an automatic editing function, and a work area 133.

Reference numeral 14 is a keyboard for inputting character strings, and reference numeral 15 is a keyboard control section for controlling this keyboard 14. 16 is a VRAM in which document data to be displayed on the CRT 17 is expanded;
C that controls the CRT17 according to the display data of AM16
This is an RT control section. Reference numeral 19 is a floppy disk as an external storage device in which document files are stored, and 20 is an external storage control unit that controls this floppy disk 19.

As shown in FIG. 3, the editing information storage area 132 includes a section title symbol dictionary 132a, a paragraph information area 13
2b, and a series registration area 132c.

[0010] Here, the term "section title" refers to the section title symbol ("A ”, “B
”,…, “(1)”, “(2)”,…, “I”, “II
”,…, etc.), including periods “. ” means a string that does not contain ”.In addition, in the following explanation, lines other than section titles will be
In addition, there is a line break at the end, an uninput state,
The sequence up to the page break is referred to as one connection, that is, a "paragraph."

The clause symbol dictionary 132a is shown in FIG.
), it stores multiple series of clause symbols. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4B, the paragraph information area 132b includes a paragraph number area 132b1, a series information area 132b2, a level 1 area 132b3, and an attribute area 132b4 for each paragraph. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4C, the series registration area 132c includes a pair of a series area 132c1 and a level 2 area 132c2, which are increased each time a new series is used.

[0012] Next, the automatic undercut processing operation in the Japanese word processor with automatic editing function configured as described above will be explained as follows.
This will be explained according to the flowchart in FIG.

First, the structure of the document is analyzed (step S
1). That is, the section title and section sentence are determined, and a break is added to reduce the number of columns to form a paragraph. Next, the level of indentation is set for each paragraph (step S2). Then, the number of digits to be shifted in accordance with the format is automatically calculated (step S3), and a blank is inserted based on the number of digits to be shifted at the level corresponding to each paragraph to lower the digits (step S4). lastly,
When a paragraph spans between pages, block attribute processing for page separation is performed before the paragraph (step S5).

As shown in FIG. 6A, it is assumed that document data is stored in the document storage area 131 from line 1 to line 8. In the same figure, the section title symbol is “A”,
They are "B", "(1)", and "(2)". Furthermore, "□" in the figure represents some kind of character.

[0015] In this state, when the automatic down-down process as shown in FIG. 5 is entered, in step S1, the document structure analysis process as shown in FIG. 7 is executed.

That is, first, one line of document data is read out (step S101). Here, a one-line sentence refers to the range from the beginning of the line to the line feed mark, non-input state, and page break mark. Then, it is determined whether the first character of the read document data is in the section title symbol dictionary 132a (step S102). If it is determined that it is not in the clause symbol dictionary 132a, it is determined that it is a clause, and the paragraph information area 13
2b paragraph number area 132b1 and series area 132b
2 (step S103). in this case,
A space is written in the series area 132b.

On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a period in the clause symbol dictionary 132a, then it is determined whether or not there is a period "." in the read one-line document data (step S10).
4). If there is, it is determined that it is a clause sentence rather than a clause title, and the process proceeds to step S103, where information is written in the paragraph number area 132b1 and series area 132b2 of the paragraph information area 132b. However, if it is determined that there is no period, the read one-line document data is considered to be a section title, and the paragraph information area 132b
Information is written in the paragraph number area 132b1 and series area 132b2 (step S105). In this case, a series (a, b, c, . . . ) corresponding to the first character of the clause title symbol of the read document data is written in the series area 132b.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6A, line 1 has the section title symbol "A" at the beginning and does not include a period "." at the end of the line, so it is determined to be a section title. . Then, "1" is placed in the paragraph number area 132b1 of the paragraph information area 132b.
is written, and a paragraph symbol “A” is written in the series area 132b2.
Series information "a" corresponding to is written. Also, row 2
There is no clause title symbol at the beginning of the line, and there is a period (.) at the end of the line, so it is judged to be one clause sentence. For the following lines, judge whether they are subtitles or clause sentences in the same way. The section titles and clauses determined here are treated as paragraphs.

When a paragraph is created in this way, there are section titles or section sentences that need to have special attributes. That is, this is a case where a repeated character string exists.

For example, continuous character strings such as "--" may be used to connect character strings. In such a case, when many levels of carry down are executed, the line wraps to the next line, which disrupts the positional relationship of the connected strings, resulting in a strange document. Therefore, in order to prevent this positional relationship from being disturbed, an attribute that prohibits wrapping is added to this line. Then, a block attribute is attached to a character string with an attribute that prohibits wrapping across consecutive lines in order to maintain the relationship between the lines.

That is, after executing the processing in steps S101 to S105, "-" is added to the read document data for one line.
It is determined whether there is a repeated character string such as "-" (step S106). If there is, the paragraph information area 132b
The return prohibition attribute information is written in the attribute area 132b4 (step S107). And attribute area 1 in the previous paragraph
32b4, it is determined whether or not the wrapping prohibition attribute is set in the previous line (step S108), and if it is set, the attribute corresponding to a series of paragraphs to which the wrapping prohibition attribute information is attached is determined. The loopback prohibition attribute information written in the area 132b4 is replaced with the attribute of the block (step S109).

The above process is repeated until the paragraph is determined by determining the section title and the section sentence, and the process of adding attribute information is performed for all lines (step S110).

After the structure of the document has been analyzed in this way, in step S2, a process of adding a lowering level as shown in FIG. 8 is executed.

That is, first, as an initial setting, a register L (not shown) configured in the CPU 11 or the work area 133 is set to "-1", and a register (flag) indicating the state of the immediately previous line is set to "node". A value indicating "title" is set (step S201).

[0025] Then, the series information is read from the series area 132b that has not been read yet in the paragraph information area 132b (step S202), and it is determined whether it is a section title or a section sentence depending on whether it is a space or not (step S203). .

If it is a section title, it is determined whether it is a new series (step S204). If it is a new series, register L
After adding "+1" to the value of register L (step S205), the updated value of register L is added to the corresponding paragraph information area 132.
b to level 1 area 132b3 (step S
206). Furthermore, the new series is registered in the series area 132c1 of the series registration area 132c, and the updated value of register L is set in the level 2 area 132c2 (
Step S207). Then, it is determined whether or not processing has been completed for all paragraphs (step S208), and if there are still unprocessed paragraphs, the process repeats from step S202.

If it is determined in step S204 that the series is not a new series, level 2 is paired with the series area 132c1 of the series registration area 132c in which values corresponding to the series are registered. Area 132c2
The value set in register L is stored in register L (step S209), and the value stored in register L is stored in level 1 area 13 of paragraph information area 132b corresponding to that paragraph.
2b3 (step S210). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S208, where it is determined whether there are any unprocessed paragraphs.

If it is determined in step S203 that the read series information is a space, that is, a clause, it is first determined whether or not the immediately preceding section was a clause (step S211). If it is a section title, the value of register L is incremented by "+1" (step S212), and the updated value of register L is set in level 1 area 132b3 of paragraph information area 132b corresponding to that paragraph. (Step S213). After that, the above step S2
Proceeding to step 08, it is determined whether there is an unprocessed paragraph.

If it is determined in step S211 that the immediately preceding paragraph is not a section title, the value of register L is set in the level 1 area 132b3 of the paragraph information area 132b corresponding to that paragraph, and then ( Step S2
14) Proceeding to step S208, it is determined whether there is an unprocessed paragraph.

[0030] That is, the process of assigning the level of increment is performed according to the following rules.

(1) If the clause symbol is detected first, then
Set to level 0 and register the type of section title symbol.

(2) If a clause title is detected next to a clause title,
Register that subtitle symbol and add one level from the previous subtitle (downward).

(3) If a clause sentence is detected next to the clause title,
Add one level from the previous section problem.

(4) If a clause is detected next to a clause,
The level cannot be changed.

(5) If a clause title is detected next to a clause sentence,
Determine whether the detected clause symbol is the same as the previously registered type, and if it is the same, set it to that level (
If it is new, add one level to the previous clause sentence and additionally register the type of clause symbol. Furthermore, when the level is set to 0 again, a blank line is inserted immediately before the section title.

[0036] Once the level of each paragraph has been set in this way, in step S3, the number of digit shifts suitable for the format is calculated. Here, the number of digits to be shifted down is set so that the number of digits is D percent of the number of format digits set at this point. That is, when the maximum level is set to X by setting the paragraph level in step S2, and the number of digits in the format is NC, the number of digits to be shifted for one level is K=NC×(D÷100)÷X. In this way, the number of digits to be shifted is automatically set based on the number of format digits and the number of levels.

Once the number of digits shifted in accordance with the format has been calculated in this way, in step S4, the digit down processing as shown in FIG. 9 is executed.

That is, for each paragraph, the paragraph information area 132b
The content of the corresponding level 1 area 132b3 is extracted (step S401), and it is determined whether it is "0" (
Step S402). If “0”, document storage area 1
31 to output one line of blank space (step S403).
).

Also, if it is not "0", K from the beginning of the line
x (contents of level 1 area 132b3) blanks are output to document storage area 131 (step S404). Here, K is the number of digit shifts for one level calculated in step S3 above.

[0040] Once the blank space corresponding to the level has been output in this way, the contents of that line are then output to the document storage area 131 (step S405). When outputting the contents of this line, if it overflows to the next line on the display (step S406), the overflowing line is written with K×(level 1 area 13
2b3 contents) Insert blank spaces (step S407
).

[0041] Then, this type of carry down processing is repeatedly executed until all rows are processed (step S408).

In other words, in this digit reduction process, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (B), digits are shifted down by inserting spaces based on the number of digits shifted at the level corresponding to each paragraph. Also, if the number of digits in the format cannot be accommodated due to column reduction, the line is wrapped to the next line. At this time, insert blanks for the number of digits corresponding to the number of digit shifts corresponding to the paragraph into the wrapped line as well (for example, from the fifth line from the top in (B) in Figure 6). 6th line). By the way, when I move on to the process of shifting digits in the next paragraph, the level of digit shifting becomes "0" again.
, insert a blank line just before this paragraph (
For example, the 10th line from the top in FIG. 6(B)).

[0043] Once the carry down processing has been carried out in this manner, then in step S5, block attribute processing as shown in FIG. 10 is executed.

That is, first, the paragraph information of the last line in the page is obtained from the paragraph information area 132b (step S5).
01). Then, the attribute area 13 of the acquired paragraph information
It is determined whether the attribute set in 2b4 is an attribute of a block (step S502). If it is an attribute of a block, it indicates that the block spans from the end of one page to the next page, so move from the beginning of the block to the next page. That is, a blank digit is inserted before the first line of the block attribute (step S503) until the beginning of the block moves to the next page (step S504).
.

In this way, the location of the document is automatically determined and the document is placed at the determined location.

[0046] By the way, when the no-wrapping attribute is attached to a section title or clause sentence, if the column down processing is performed, the character string of the clause title or clause sentence may exceed the number of format digits set for that line. be. In this case, re-format and increase the number of digits to fit the protruding digits.

[0047] In the above embodiment, when the lowering process is executed, the original document data is rewritten, so if the layout of the document after processing is not as expected by the operator, the original There are times when you want to go back to the flat state and make corrections. In such a case, the document data has been rewritten, so it must be done manually. Therefore, if the process of returning to the original layout is performed automatically, the time required for input can be further reduced.

[0048]

According to the present invention, it is possible to automatically determine the placement position of a document and to place the document at the determined placement position. Therefore, the time required for input can be shortened.
