Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document editing device, and particularly to a document editing method suitable for editing a fair document based on a draft document.

[Conventional technology]

In a document editing device that creates a document while displaying a display corresponding to key operations, key operations are often performed while viewing a draft document. In such a case, conventionally, a draft document is placed near the document editing device, the operator refers to it, determines the layout of one document, and reproduces the layout on the display.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method, when attempting to obtain a document with a draft layout on a display screen, trial-and-error editing operations for the layout take time and are inefficient.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a document editing method that solves the above problems and allows easy positioning of a document layout on a display screen.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose? To achieve this, the present invention includes a first step of displaying a draft document image input from an image input device in a document editing device that includes a display device, an image input device, a key input device, and a printing device; The present invention is characterized in that a second step of inputting data and performing a display operation is carried out on a fair copy screen that is displayed superimposed on the original image so that the entire image can be seen through.

In the present invention, in the operation of the second step, the above object is achieved by performing a step of erasing unnecessary parts of the draft manuscript image or a step of moving the display position of the draft manuscript image with respect to the fair copy screen. I am trying to achieve better.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, by performing the first and second steps described above, it is possible to perform editing operations on the fair copy screen while looking through the draft document on the display screen. Therefore, the entire content of the draft document can be easily copied onto the fair copy screen, improving the operability of document editing. Furthermore, when the third step is executed, it is possible to erase unnecessary portions of the draft document that overlap with the displayed portion of the input data on the fair copy screen, making the fair copy screen easier to see. Furthermore, according to the fourth step, it is possible to copy any position of the draft manuscript to any position on the fair copy screen,
The operability of document editing is improved.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a flowchart of a program that implements the present invention. In the first step 51, a key code input from the key input device 5 is received. Step 5
In step 2, the received key code is determined and the corresponding subroutine is called.

When the key code is a draft manuscript input instruction, a blue routine 53 for displaying draft manuscript input is called. When the key code is a draft document deletion instruction, draft document deletion subroutine 5
Call 4. When the key code is an instruction to create a clean document,
A blueprint 55 for creating and displaying a fair document is called. When the key code is a clean document storage or print instruction, a clean document storage/print subroutine 56 is called. When the key code is a window operation instruction, a window operation subroutine 57 is called.

FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of the blue routine 53 for inputting and displaying a draft document. In the first step 531, management data for a window displaying a draft document is registered in the window management table 240.

In step 532, the image input device 6 is activated to read the draft original image, and the read image data is stored on the virtual screen memory 25. In step 533, the data in the display range 46.47 of the draft original image data stored on the virtual screen memory 25 is transferred to the window portion indicated by the position 44.45 on the display refresh memory 29.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the draft original deletion subroutine 54. In the first step 541, the erase range input from the key input device 5 is read.

In step 542, the specified deletion range of the draft original image data on the virtual screen memory 25 is cleared. In step 543, similar to step 533 in FIG.
The data in the display range 46.47 on the virtual screen memory 25 is transferred to the window 44.45 on the refresh memory 29.

FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of the blueprint 55 for creating and displaying a fair document. The first step 551 is to determine whether a clean document window has already been set. If it has not been set, in step 552, the management data of the window for displaying the faired document is registered in the window management table 240, and even if the faired document window has already been set, step 553 is performed.

In step 553, the document data inputted from the key input device 5 is stored on the virtual screen memory 25 of the fair copy document. In step 554, the data in the display range on the virtual screen memory 25 is expanded into a bitmap format by the bitmap processor 27, and transferred to the windows 44 and 45 on the refresh memory 29.

FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of the fair document storage/print subroutine 56. First, in step 561, the processing type of storage or printing is determined, and in the case of storage, step 56
2. For printing, perform step 563. Step 5
At 62, the faired document data on the virtual screen memory 25 is stored in the document file 7.

For window resizing, step: '721
Then, the type of window whose size is to be changed and the size of the changing diameter of the window are read from the key input device 5. In step 712, the window before resizing is erased. In step 723, the XY coordinates 45 of the lower right end point of the window on the window management table 240 and the xy coordinates 47 of the lower right end point of the display range on the virtual screen are updated to the values after the size change. In step 714, the bitmap processor 27 expands the data of the updated display range 46.47 on the corresponding virtual screen memory 25 into a bitmap format, and transfers the data to the updated window 44.45 on the refresh memory 29. Forward.

In the case of scrolling the display range on the virtual screen, in step 731, the type of window to be scrolled and the changed display position on the corresponding virtual screen are read from the key input device 5. In step 33, the window management table 240
The xy coordinates 46 of the upper left end point of the display range and the xy coordinates 47 of the lower right end point of the display range on the virtual screen, which are stored in , are updated to the values of the position after the display range has been moved. In step 563, the fair document data on the virtual screen memory 25 is output to the printing device 8.

FIG. 10 shows a flowchart '4' of the window operation subroutine 57. In the first step 571, whether the window operation is to move the window or change its size,
Determines whether the display range on the virtual screen is scrolled. In the case of window movement, the type of window to be moved (draft document window/clean document window) and the destination position of the window are read from the key input device 5 in step 711.Step 7
In step 12, the window before the window movement is erased.

In step 713, the XY coordinates 44 of the upper left end point of the window on the window management table 240 and the
Update the Y coordinate 45 to the destination value. In step 714, the data in the display range 46.degree. 47 on the virtual screen memory 25 is expanded into a bitmap format by the bitmap processor 27 and transferred to the updated window 44.45 on the refresh memory 29.

In step 714, the bitmap processor 27 expands the data of the updated display range 46.47 on the corresponding virtual screen memory 25 into a bitmap format, and transfers the data to the updated window 44.45 on the refresh memory 29. Forward.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, a draft document is displayed on the display screen, and a fair document is displayed superimposed on the draft document so that the draft document can be seen through.

Therefore, the contents of the draft document can be easily copied onto the clean copy document. It is possible to erase unnecessary portions of the draft document that overlap with the displayed portion of the input data in the fair copy, making the fair copy easier to see.
