Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field) The present invention relates to a ruled line block processing device that handles documents with ruled lines.

(Prior art) Conventionally, a lined document is created using a one-line display,
There was a ruled line processing device that could print.

However, there was a device that could create and print block format sentences and non-block format plain text using an l-line display for blocks and, for example, plain text, but for block format sentences, the document must be created with the block structure in mind. This had the disadvantage that it was not possible to easily separate the block format text from the plain text, and it was difficult to extract only a portion of the plain text and convert it into a block format document in fltl.

(Purpose) The present invention compensates for the above-mentioned drawbacks, and uses one mark to separate the plain text and block format portions of a document consisting of one serial character string, create plain text and block format text, and print them. It is an object of the present invention to provide a ruled line block processing device that can perform the following operations.

(Concept of the present invention) The concept of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. Characters are stored in serial form in a 0, for example, line memory, and a delimiter is inputted into the 1-line memory by a delimiter input means. From the l-line memory divided by the delimiter mark, a portion determined as a block by a discriminating means for discriminating between a plain text and a block document is converted into a ruled line block form by a ruled line block creating means and stored together with the plain text.

(Explanation) An example of the operation according to the embodiment of the present invention will be shown below. As shown in Figure 5(a), first input the character string serially in one column, and then set the vertical separator digits of the block as [1, 4, 9] as shown in Figure 5(b). Set a mark to indicate a character break in a character string. If the ruled line block key is pressed after creating such a character string, a ruled line block will be created as shown in FIG. 5(C). the first·
"Aiueo" up to the mark is plain text, and from the next character to the place where two marks are consecutive, that is, "φABC*ab
c*IU Φ12 Button 1 becomes a block format document. Hereafter, ``tachitsuteto'' will be translated as plain text again. The Φ mark also has the meaning of dividing blocks with ruled lines, in this case vertical ruled lines (embodiment) An example of the operation according to the embodiment of the present invention will be shown below. As shown in FIG. Enter the characters serially in the column, and then set the vertical separator digits of the block as [1, 4, 9] at the beginning of the character string from the keyboard as shown in Figure 5 (b), and then set the mark indicating the character separation. Set to insert into the string.

If the ruled line block key is pressed after creating such a character string, a ruled line block will be created as shown in FIG. 5(C). "Aiueo" up to the first mark is plain text, and from the next character to the place where two consecutive φ marks occur, that is, "・ABC・abcφaiu・12・Φ" becomes a block format document. Hereafter, ``tachitsuteto'' will be translated as plain text again. The Φ mark also has the meaning of separating blocks with ruled lines. In this case, the digit where the vertical ruled line is drawn is the number at the beginning of the sentence [
1, 4, 9], and the horizontal ruled line position is automatically determined according to the length of the row of each block.

If the omit ruled line key is pressed before pressing the ruled line block key, a block format is created as shown in FIG. 5(d), but the document becomes a block format document in which all ruled lines are replaced with spaces. Also, if you press the fill line key before pressing the ruled line block key, the horizontal ruled lines inside the block are omitted, leaving the outer ruled lines and vertical ruled lines, as shown in Figure 5(e), and the horizontal ruled lines inside the block are omitted, resulting in one line. This results in a packed block format document.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the character processing device of the present invention.

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) controls each device connected via the path line by executing the program contained in the ROM (Read Only Memory), for example, the procedure shown in Figures 6 to 10. Control. A keyboard KB is connected to this pass line BL, and character information input from this keyboard KB is supplied and stored via the pass line BL to a document memory BSM in a part of a memory RAM (random access memory). To display the stored character information on the LCD (liquid crystal display) display, use the LCD controller DCONT.
The font corresponding to the character code is selected from the character generator CG controlled by C through the path line.
This is done according to instructions from the PU.

In addition to the document memory BSM described above, the memory RAM includes a program memory BRM for forming blocks, a vertical ruled line table TXT that indicates the vertical ruled line position of each divided block when the block is divided, and the first digit of a small block to be described later.

The print key PK is a key for printing the contents of the block memory BRM.

FIG. 4 shows the document memory BSM in the RAM in FIG.
FIG. 4 is a detailed explanatory diagram of a block memory BRM, a vertical ruled line table TXT, and a small block range table SHT.

The document memory BSM is a serial memory in which character information is stored, and is configured in address order from the beginning.
M (1), BSM (2) --- Generally BSM (+
). The block memory BRM has a 9x9 matrix structure, and addresses are sequentially assigned starting from the first digit of the first row.

BRM (1, 1), BRM (1, 2) --- Generally expressed as BRM (x, y). Vertical ruled table TK
T is a table for storing vertical ruled line digit positions set in a document, and addresses are assigned in order from the first line, TXT
(1), TXT (1)---Generally TXT (P)
Expressed as. Small block range table 5l (T is a memory that has a pair of start and end digits indicating to which range of the block memory the character information of each small block is transferred, starting from the beginning SHT (1, 1) , SHT (1,
2), 5HT (2, 1) --- Generally SHT (m, 1
), SHT(m, 2).

With the above configuration, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 1.
This will be explained with reference to the chart 70-' in FIG. 0 and examples of memory contents in FIGS. 11 and 12.

When this device is powered on, it first proceeds to step sl in FIG. 6. In step sl, the document memory BSM in the RAM,
Clear the space in block memory BRM, vertical ruled line table TKT, ruled line flag KF, ruled line filling flag KTF,
The ruled line start flag KSF is cleared to 0, the cursor is set at the beginning of the document memory BSM, and the cursor position memory CRLM is set to the initial state.

Thereafter, the process advances to step S2, and the state of waiting for manual input of keys from the keyboard as shown in FIG. 3 is maintained.

If any key is input, the process proceeds to step S3, where the input key is determined, and the process proceeds to any one of steps 54 to S9.

Step S4 performs processing when a character key is operated.When the 0 character key is operated, the cursor position memory CRLM
The character code is stored in the document memory BSM corresponding to the character code.

Thereafter, the cursor advances by one and at the same time the contents of the cursor position memory CRLM also advance by l addresses.

In step S5, processing is performed when the cursor right movement key or the cursor left movement key is operated, that is, if the cursor left movement key is operated, the cursor position memory CRLM is
When the cursor right movement key is operated, the contents of the cursor position memory CR are decremented by one address.
Processing is performed to add the contents of LM for one address.

In step S6, a process is performed when the line filling key is operated.When the line filling key is operated, *
When the ta packing flag KTF is 0, it is set to l, and when it is l, it is set to 0.

In step S7, processing is carried out when the ruled line omission key is operated.When the 0M ruled line omission key is operated, processing is carried out in which the ruled line flag KF in the RAM is set to 1 if it is 0, and to 0 if it is 1.

In step s8, a ruled line block is assembled from the contents of the document memory BSM shown in FIG. do.

FIG. 7 shows a detailed explanation of the contents of step S8. This will be explained below with reference to FIG. First step 58.
1 sets the pointer i in the document memory BSM to 1.

Next, the process proceeds to step S8, 2, and the digit position of the vertical ruled line in each block is determined from the digit position information that separates the blocks at the beginning of the document memory BSM, and the vertical ruled line table TKT is created. Represented by numbers between marks. According to the example in Figure 11 (1), 1,4
．． 9 is digit position information. As a result, a vertical ruled line table TXT is created as shown in FIG. 11(2).

Next, the process proceeds to step s8.3, and the number of small blocks arranged in the horizontal direction is determined and set to the small block number SS in the RAM. 1st
In the example of Figure 1, there are three vertical ruled line digit positions, 1, 4.9, so the number of small blocks that can fit between them is two.

Further, the process proceeds to step S8.4, and the digit range within which each small block fits is determined from the vertical ruled line table TXT. Figure 11 (2
), there are three vertical ruled line digit positions, 1 and 4.9, so the two small blocks are 2 to 3.5, respectively.
This will fit within 8 digits. The example shown in FIG. 1 (3) is a table of this. Furthermore, pointer m of this small block range table SHT is set to 1,
On the other hand, the pointer i of the document memory BSM is set next to [indicating the end of the digit position information].

In step 58.5, pointer! out of the document memory BSM! The characters from the character indicated by to the first delimiter mark are set in the block memory BRM.

The details will be explained using the flowchart of FIG.

First, in step s8.5.1, pointers x and y of block memory BRM are each set to 1 in 0th order s8.5.
In step 2, the content of the document memory BSM is determined and the process branches to 0. Before branching, the pointer ill is added. If the result of the 0 character determination is a delimiter mark, this routine is exited. On the other hand, if it is a normal character, the process branches to step s8.5.3 and the document memory B
Transfer the contents of SM to block memory BRM. Furthermore, 1 is added to the horizontal pointer y.

Next, the process advances to step s8.5.4 to determine the value of y and branches. When y is less than or equal to 9, step s8.5 again
．． Return to 2. When y is greater than 9 step s8.5.5
Proceed to , set y to 1 in order to process a line feed, and add 1 to the pointer X in the line direction. When this process is completed, the pointer i in the document memory BSM will be positioned next to the delimiter mark Φ. Also, as shown in FIG. 12 (1), only "AIUEO" is transferred to the block memory BRM.

Returning to FIG. 7, in step 58.6, horizontal ruled line information for one line is set in the block memory, and block row NoLN is set.
Processing is performed to set O to the value of the next row. The details of this process will be explained with reference to FIG.

In step s8.6.1 of FIG. 9, the contents of the block memory BRM are checked to find a blank line and its line number is set in the block line NoLNO.

Next, the process advances to step s8.6.2, and the contents of the ruled line start flag KSF and ruled line filling flag KTF in the RAM are determined, and it is determined that the ruled line start flag KSF is 1, that is, an intermediate ruled line, and that the ruled line filling flag KTF is 1. This is the end of this routine in order to close the ruled lines from time to time. On the other hand, if the other conditions are met, proceed to step s8.6.3 and mark the horizontal ruled line mark "-".
” to all vertical ruled lines from the first digit to the last digit by referring to the vertical ruled line table TKT. Thereafter, one is set in the pointer p of the vertical ruled line table TXT.

Further, the process advances to step s8.6.4 and the vertical ruled line table TK
The contents of T are read according to the pointer p, and the process branches depending on whether the value is the first, last, or middle digit. If it is the first digit, proceed to step s8.6.5.

It is read from CG and set in the matrix position of block memory BRM defined by (p.), but R
When the ruled line flag KF in AM is 1, all ruled lines are omitted, so a space is inserted.

Therefore, determine. That is, the ruled line start flag KSF is O.
When , there is no ruled line above it, so the pointer p is advanced by one. Further, the process returns to step s8.6.4 and the next vertical line digit position is read again.

Set it to BRM. Which pattern to set is determined under the same conditions as in step s8.6.5.

Thereafter, proceed to step s8.6.8.

Or read space from CG block memory BRM
is set similarly to step s8.6.5. When this process is completed, the process advances to step s8.6.9, advances the block row NoLNO by one to change the line in the block memory, sets the ruled line start flag KSF to 1, and remembers that the first horizontal ruled line has been transferred. 6 or more, horizontal ruled lines are set in the block memory BRK as shown in the example of the second line of FIG. 12(2) and the fifth line of FIG. 12(5).

Once such processing is completed, the process proceeds to step 58.7 in FIG.

In step 58.7, the character string included in the small block in the document memory is stored in the block memory BRK at the same time as the vertical ruled line information.
This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 10.

First, in step s8.7.1, block memory B
Set the value of block row NoLNO in the horizontal pointer X of RM, and also set the start digit in the small block range table in the vertical pointer y.
Step 8.7.2 reads the document memory and branches depending on its contents.

In the case of normal characters, the process proceeds to step s8.7.3, where the contents of the document memory BSM are transferred to the block memory BRM. Furthermore, the pointer i of the document memory BSM is advanced by one.

Next, proceed to step s8.7.4 and block memory BRM.
horizontal pointer y and small block range table SIT
Compare with the ending digit. This means checking whether the transfer of one row of the small block has been completed. If they match, the transfer of one line has been completed, and to explain this using the example of FIG. 12 (3), this means that up to the third line rABJ has been transferred.

In that case, the process proceeds to step s8.7.5 and sets all the necessary vertical ruled lines on the transferred lines. After that, the vertical pointer
Return to ・ On the other hand, when it is determined in step s8.7.4 that one row is incomplete, the process advances to step s8.7.6 and the block memory BRM is
Advance the horizontal pointer y by one step and proceed to step s8.
Return to 7.2. By repeating this process, data from rABJ to rCJ are transferred as shown in FIG. 12 (3).

On the other hand, if the content of the document memory BSM is a mark in step s8.7.2, the transfer of one small block is completed and the routine exits.

Returning to FIG. 7, in step 58.8, the pointer m of the small block range table SHT is advanced by one. Further, in steps S8 and S9, 5S-1 is executed, and as a result, it is determined whether or not all of the small blocks arranged in the horizontal direction have been transferred to the block memory BRM. If the transfer has not been completed yet, the process returns to step 58.7. When the process is completed, the horizontal small blocks rABCJ rabCJ have been transferred as shown in FIG. 12 (4), and the process proceeds to step s8.10.

In step s8.10, the pointer i of the document memory BSM is advanced by one and the contents of the next document memory BSM are read.
The process branches depending on whether the content is a mark or not. That is, if it is a φ mark, it is two consecutive marks from the last read mark in step 88.8, so the process goes to step s8.11; if it is not a *mark, the process goes to step 58.6 again.

At step s8.11, the transfer of character information for all blocks is completed, so a process is performed to transfer the ruled line of the last line of the block to the block memory. This process is performed at step 58.6.
First, read and set the ruled line pattern r-J over one line from CG, and then set the vertical ruled line pattern r-J in the same way as in the vertical ruled line table T.
Depending on the content of KT, the ruled line pattern rLJ, r↓", """
This means that the process of reading and setting the CG from the CG is performed.

When this process is completed, the entire block memory BRM is completed, and the transfer of lines 1 to 8 shown in the example of FIG. 12 (6) is completed.

Further, the process proceeds to step s8.12, and the next character with two consecutive delimiter marks is transferred to the block memory BRM as plain text. As a result, the transfer to the block memory is completed as shown in FIG. 12 (6).

In the above-described embodiment, the block memory is a 9x9 matrix, but it may be a matrix of other configuration, or the LCD of the display may be replaced by another display device, such as a CRT, without detracting from the spirit of the present invention.

(Effects) As described above, according to the present invention, when converting a document consisting of one serial character string into a block format, only one type of mark is required to divide the intersection in both the vertical and horizontal directions. It became possible to do it.
