Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention creates, edits, and prepares a document having a standard format such as manuscript paper and standard paper for business use.
The present invention relates to a document processing device used in a Japanese word processor for printing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a word processor or the like,
The document format is specified by setting the number of digits per line. And the document is created according to this format,
The created document is printed by the printer. In this case, the editing is performed by the functions such as line feed, page break, indent, and prohibition processing. On the other hand, this created or being created document is a CRT, LCD (liquid crystal display)
Etc. are displayed on the display unit. When creating a document, the operator inputs and edits document data while looking at this display section. By the way, there is a case where a document having a standard format such as a manuscript paper or a standard paper for printing the same data on each page is prepared as a standard format in addition to the normal document preparation. Conventionally, when creating a document with this type of fixed format, the format of the fixed part is stored in a predetermined storage unit, and the format of the fixed part stored in the document data input later is superimposed and printed. What you do is common.

[0003]

However, in such a conventional document processing apparatus, when a document having a fixed format is created, a storage unit for storing a fixed part format is used as a normal document data. Since it was provided separately from the storage unit that stores the fixed format, the document format of the storage unit that stores the fixed part format may differ from the document format of the storage unit that stores normal document data. There was a problem that the format had to be checked whenever the format of the part was to be corrected or added. In addition, different formats also hinder data compatibility. To avoid this,
It is conceivable to copy the format of the fixed part to each page and store it, but in this case, the document of the fixed part will be resident in each page, and a large amount of memory will be required and the storage capacity will be insufficient. The problem arises. If you try, you can store a fixed part (fixed data) such as a fixed format in a specific page of multiple pages, and print the page where the fixed data is stored and another page when printing. For example, it is obvious that fixed data can also be stored in the storage unit that stores normal document data, and the efficiency of memory can be improved while maintaining compatibility of document structures. An object of the present invention is to enable a specific page of a plurality of pages to be set as fixed data, and to allow the set page and other pages to be overlapped and printed at the time of printing.

[0004]

The means of the present invention are as follows. The document data storage unit 1 (see the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the same applies hereinafter) is a RAM or the like for storing document data over a plurality of pages. The fixed page setting means 2 sets a predetermined page among a plurality of pages as a fixed page for storing fixed data, and is provided with function keys such as a key for inputting alphanumeric characters, a numeric keypad, and an execution key. A soft key displayed on the keyboard or the display screen is selected with a cursor movement key or the like to set a page and stored in a register such as a RAM. Print control means 3
Controls to print the document data of the fixed page set by the fixed page setting unit 2 so as to overlap the document data other than the fixed page when printing the document data stored in the document data storage unit 1. And is printed by a printer or the like.

[0005]

The operation of the means of the present invention is as follows. First,
The document data storage unit 1 stores document data over a plurality of pages. Further, in the fixed page setting means 2, a predetermined page among a plurality of pages is set as a fixed page. Then, when the document data is read from the document data storage unit 1 and printed, the document data of the fixed page set by the fixed page setting unit 2 by the print control unit 3 is superimposed and printed on the document data other than the fixed page. Controlled by. Therefore, fixed data can also be stored in the storage unit that stores normal document data, and the efficiency of the memory can be improved while maintaining compatibility of document structures.

EXAMPLES Examples will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the document processing apparatus. First, the configuration will be described. FIG. 2 shows a document processing device 1.
It is a block diagram of 0. In this figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a CPU that controls the entire apparatus and performs various data processing including document creation processing described later. The CPU 11 performs various operations of the document processing apparatus according to a microprogram stored in a ROM (not shown). Control. The CPU 11 has
A document input / edit key 12a for inputting / editing a document, a fixed page setting key 12b for setting a page for storing fixed data, and a print start key 12 for instructing the start of print processing
A key input unit 12 including a keyboard provided with c and the like, a document input / edited document is stored in the document content storage unit 13, and page management data is stored in the page management register 14.
When the fixed page setting key 12b is operated, the fixed page setting key 12b receives fixed page information, and the fixed page storage register 16 stores the input information. A fixed page setting control unit 17 for controlling the above-described control, and a print control unit 19 for performing a printing process on the content stored in the document content storage unit 13 according to the contents of the fixed page storage register 16 and the page management register 14 are respectively connected. ..

The document content storage unit 13 stores the document data converted into the code of the input document, and the page management register 14 stores a plurality of pages among the document contents stored in the document content storage unit 13. When the data is transmitted to, the information such as the page address is stored. Further, the fixed page storage register 16 is provided in the fixed page setting controller 1
Stores the information of the page to be overprinted by 7, and
The print control unit 19 refers to the page information stored at the time of printing. The print page management register 18 stores the page information currently printed when the print control unit performs the print processing.

The print control unit 19 is also connected to a print content storage unit 20 including a print buffer for expanding and storing print contents, and a print unit 21 including a printer for printing out a document. The print content storage unit 20 is
If there is a setting for overlapping printing, the data of the fixed page and the data of the printing page are superimposed and transferred to the printing unit 21.
The print unit 21 uses the print control unit 1 according to the set format information.
The data sent from 9 is printed out.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the document creation process. In FIG. 3, the symbols Sn (n = 1, 2, ...) Show each step of the flow.

First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the input key of the key input unit 12 is the print start key 12c. If the input key is not the print start key 12c, in step S2 the input key is the fixed page setting key 12b. Determine whether. If the input key is not the fixed page setting key 12b, it is determined in step S3 whether the input key is the end (End) key. If it is not the end key, it is determined that the character input edit key 12a is operated and the key is pressed in step S4. According to the input data, the document content storage unit 13 and the page management register 1
The contents stored in 4 are input, the characters for editing and the editing process are performed, and the process returns to step S1 to wait for the next key input. If the input key is the end key in step S3, the document creation processing operation is ended.

If the input key is the fixed page setting key 12b in step S2, the fixed page setting process is performed in step S5 and the process returns to step S1. In this fixed page setting process, for example, the page to be fixed is displayed on the display screen of the display unit (not shown), and the fixed page setting key 12b is displayed.
Is a process in which the page number is directly input by operating or by inputting, and the input fixed page information is stored in the fixed page storage register 16.

On the other hand, when the input key is the print start key 12c in step S1, the process proceeds to the printing process in step S6 and subsequent steps, the print page management register 18 is cleared in step S6, and whether there is document data to be printed in step S7. Check the page management register 18 to determine If there is no document data to be printed in the page management register 18 in step S8, it means that the printing contents have been completed. If there is print content in the page management register 18, it is determined that there is a page to be printed, and the print content storage unit 20 is cleared in step S9. Then, step S10
In step S11, it is determined whether or not there is a fixed page setting in the fixed page storage register 16. If the fixed page is set, the contents of the fixed page are printed in step S11.
When the fixed page is not set, the process directly proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, the data of the page to be printed stored in the print page management register is transferred from the document content storage unit 13 to the print content storage unit 20 in an overlapping manner.
Next, in step S13, the storage content of the print content storage unit 20 is output to the printing unit 21 and printed. In step S14, the count of the print page management register 18 is incremented and the process returns to step S7 to process the next page.
