In the case of the present invention, a card having a predetermined card format is stored in a data processing device as a card image, and the card image is displayed on a display for processing. Each card image consists of format data as shown in Figures 1 and 2 and field contents (card data) given corresponding to fields (items) such as "Customer Name" on the card image. and are stored separately, and if necessary, the data of both can be merged and displayed on the display. And it is assumed that it represents one real card.

The fields on the card image include character fields and numeric fields. In the format data, "●●●●●" indicating a character insertion point is given corresponding to a character field, and "," indicating a numerical value insertion point is given corresponding to a numeric field.

Generally, there are many cards that share format data as shown in Figures 1 and 2, so card images corresponding to these cards are grouped together into a "box" as shown in Figure 3. Introducing concepts. Symbol 1 is a card image, 2
represents box. In order to provide boxes as one processing unit, the following information (or storage unit) is prepared corresponding to each box. In other words, box profile (memory section)... box number, box name, etc.

Format data (storage unit): Data corresponding to the card format (blank card) as shown in Figures 1 and 3.

Field definition information (storage unit): Field start coordinates and attributes for each field (for numeric fields, presence or absence of commas, number of digits after the decimal point, etc.).

Field name (memory part)...The name of each field.

Card data (storage unit): Card data corresponding to individual card images belonging to the same box is stored in association with each page.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a mode of processing according to the present invention, and it can be considered that the display as shown in the figure is displayed on the display and the processing begins.

The screen on the display shows the cards in the first frame.
An image display, a card image display in the second frame, and an input image display for inputting processing procedures etc. can be performed together. In the case shown in Figure 4, the 7th item belonging to the box “Membership Fee Bill”
All or part 3 of the card image addressed to Mr. Taro Fujitsu on page 3 is placed in the first frame, and all of the card image of Mr. Furo Osaka on page 7 belonging to the box ``Membership Fee Deposit Slip'' is placed in the first frame. Alternatively, part 4 is displayed together in the second frame (hereinafter sometimes referred to as split display). Input image 5 is displayed, and the contents of the second line of the "Billed Amount" field, which is the field on the card image in the second frame, are changed to the "Current amount" field, which is the field on the card image in the first frame. Instructs to transfer the amount to "Invoiced Amount".

In the case of the data processing apparatus to which the present invention is applied, the operator can sequentially create and register contents such as the illustrated input image 5. By pressing the execution key, the input image 5
Actual processing is executed at high speed based on the contents registered as processing procedures in a form corresponding to the above.

FIG. 5 shows the process of creating a processing procedure corresponding to the input image 5 shown in FIG. In addition, Figures A to E in the illustrations show how to delete the information when inputting the processing procedure on one card image by erroneously inputting the ``-'' (quantity x ``unit price =''). .

FIG. 5A shows the display at the time when a predetermined card image is displayed in the first frame and when the user presses the "=" key, it is realized that "unit price=" is inputted incorrectly. Note that 7 in the figure represents an actual cursor according to the present invention, 8 represents a procedure cursor according to the present invention, and 9 represents an overlapping display mark of the actual cursor and the procedure cursor.

In the state shown in FIG. 5A, first press the frame switching key to delete the frame. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5B, the actual cursor 7 is superimposed on the procedure cursor 8, and the mark 9 appears. FIG. 5C shows the mark 9 moved to the position where it is desired to be deleted. Further, FIG. 5D shows a state in which the delete key is pressed under the state shown in FIG. 5C. After deleting in this manner, when the frame switching key is pressed, the actual cursor 7 and the procedure cursor 8 are separated as shown in FIG. 5E. As a result, the operator creates a processing procedure by moving the actual cursor 7 to any desired field.

Note that the actual cursor 7 is managed separately for one corresponding to the first frame and one corresponding to the second frame, and indicates the field to be processed in each card image. Also, step cursor 8
indicates the input position on the input image.

Although not shown, if you are trying to process the card image displayed in the first frame (specified using the frame switching key),
The real cursor is displayed only on the card image in the first frame, and the real cursor on the card image in the second frame disappears. Furthermore, each card image in the first frame and the second frame can be scrolled independently. Further, the size of each of the first frame and the second frame can be increased or decreased as necessary, and at this time, the sizes of the other frames are decreased or increased accordingly.

FIG. 6 shows an aspect of the search process, in which one card image (one of a plurality of images is sufficient) is displayed as a result of the illustrated search process corresponding to the processing procedure. represents the state. For the illustrated search, (i) the address is "Setagaya-ku"
, (ii) the gender is "female", (iii) the age is "between 20 and 30", and (iv) the furigana of the name starts with "to". Instructing.

Needless to say, in addition to the above-mentioned search, sorting processing, card verification processing, etc. can also be performed. FIG. 7 shows a mode in which the same process is performed on multiple fields on multiple cards.
In the case shown in the figure, it is instructed to perform the process Quantity x Unit Price = Amount for item names 1 to 10 for pages 1 to 30 of the card, and calculate the total for each item.

As explained in connection with Figure 3, the box is
It holds an entire group of card images with common card format data, as shown in the figure.
It has at least form data, field definition information, and card data. This box is created by the format analysis unit 15 using the results of an operator creating a card format on the screen of the display 11 and entering characters into each field using the kana-kanji conversion function in the data entry processing unit 16. It is created by That is, a box is created by collecting format data as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, determining definition information and field names for each field, and organizing card data for each card into pages. These created boxes are stored and maintained on the floppy disk 12, but the boxes 20 and 20 are stored on the main memory as necessary for processing.
-1 to 20-n.

The illustration format specification control section 13 shown in FIG. 8 controls the display on the basis of the loaded boxes and handles the above-mentioned process such as box creation. The illustrated card creation management section 14 instructs the data entry processing section 16 in creating the boxes described above, but its main function is to instruct the procedure registration control section 17 as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7. The procedure execution control unit 1 registers processing procedures such as
9 to execute the process based on the contents of the process procedure storage unit 18. Meanwhile, necessary boxes are loaded into the main memory, unnecessary boxes are stored on the floppy disk 12, and an instruction is given to the box selection section 21 to switch the boxes.

In the present invention, the necessary boxes 20-1 to 20-n are mainly loaded on the main memory,
Based on this, the procedure registration control unit 17 and the procedure execution control unit 19 register processing procedures. Therefore, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 showing the essential configuration of an embodiment of the portions directly related to the present invention.

In FIG. 9, the symbols 10, 11, 18, 20-
1, . . . 20-n, 21 correspond to FIG. Reference numeral 25 denotes a procedure instruction control unit, which initiates control based on key input from the keyboard 10. Reference numeral 26 denotes a frame switching control unit, which controls frames 3 and 4, which are explained in connection with FIG. A process of switching is performed, and a process of changing the boundary position between the first frame 3 and the second frame 4 is performed as necessary. To switch the frame, set the "frame number where the cursor is located" 33 in the cursor position information holding unit 31, and select the box selection section 21 described above.
It can be considered that this is done by notifying the person to this effect.

Reference numeral 27 is a page designation control unit that performs processing corresponding to the page designated by the page switching key. On the display 11, as shown in FIG. 4, the card image belonging to the box 20-1 is temporarily displayed in the first frame 3 with the format data and card data merged, and the card image in the second frame 4 is displayed with the form data and card data merged. Assume that the card images belonging to box 20-n are similarly merged and displayed above.
When a new page is specified in this state, the page is set in the ``page number where the cursor is located'' 34 in the cursor position information holding unit 31 corresponding to each frame, and the page selection control unit 41 is activated accordingly. Activated, the page on the box displayed in the frame is extracted and transferred to the card display unit 39. That is, the card image displayed within the frame is changed (the pages within the same box are changed).

28 is a cursor movement control unit which controls the cursor (actual cursor) by using the cursor movement keys.
When the cursor is moved, the position of the new cursor is detected and set in the ``field number where the cursor is located'' 32 in the cursor position information holding unit 31 corresponding to each frame. Then, a cursor is displayed by the actual cursor display unit 36, and based on the field number, the field definition information and field name of the corresponding field are extracted by the field definition information search unit 40 and used for processing. Needless to say, if the field is located at a position that is not displayed on the display screen, scrolling will be performed within the above-mentioned frame by vertical scrolling processing or horizontal scrolling processing.

Reference numeral 29-1 is an operator key control unit which is activated in response to registration of a calculation procedure. Also 2
9-2 is a search key control unit; 29-p
is a list creation key control unit, which is activated when registering the corresponding processing procedure.

30-1 is a calculation formula display control unit,
Based on the operator key determined to be valid by the operator key control unit 29-1, the field name extracted from the field definition information search unit 40, and the box number, for example, a fourth box is displayed on the display 11. The processing procedure is created in the form of an image, such as the input image 5 shown in FIGS.
That is, the input image 5 is displayed as the processing procedure is sequentially created. During this time, the procedure editing control unit 37 controls the movement of the procedure cursor. Further, insertion, addition, deletion, replacement, etc. of procedures are performed while displaying the procedure cursor 8 and mark 9.
The display of the procedure cursor 8 can be thought of as the procedure cursor display control unit 38 managing the procedure cursor position.

30-2 is a search condition display control unit;
Reference numeral 30-p is a list creation procedure display control unit that performs processing for displaying input images corresponding to the search key control unit 29-1 and the list creation key control unit 29-p.

Reference numeral 35 is a procedure code assembly processing unit, which, as explained in connection with the operator key control unit 29-1 and the calculation formula display control unit 30-1, is used to sequentially create the above-mentioned input images. Then, processing procedure codes are sequentially assembled based on operators, field definition information, box numbers, page numbers, field numbers, and frame numbers. That is, as the above processing procedure is displayed as an input image, the processing procedure is written in a code format that is easy to execute by the procedure execution control section 19 shown in FIG. Then, the assembly result is checked by the operator in the form of a display of the input image, and if it is correct, it is stored in the procedure storage section 18. That is, for example, if the processing procedure is given unit price x quantity = total, the procedure storage unit 18
For each address, write "i-th address (Unit price field number and box number) (i+1) address ([x] operator code) (i+2) address (quantity field number and box number) (i+3) address ([=] operator code) (i+4)th address (total field number and box number) = Store as follows. The contents of each of these addresses are
When executed by the procedure execution control unit 19 shown in FIG. 8, they are sequentially read out and executed while extracting necessary field contents from necessary boxes.

In FIG. 9, the boxes loaded in the main memory may be set by loading the same box into two respective frames, or by loading different boxes into two respective frames. You can also set it. For this purpose, the processing performed by registering the above processing steps includes processing between field contents on a single card image, and processing between different card images (different pages) belonging to a single box. Processing between field contents and processing between field contents of card images belonging to different boxes can be registered.

The line repetition process according to the present invention can be clearly understood by referring to FIG.
It corresponds to the process from "Line repeat product name 01 to product name 10" to "Line repeat end". In the case shown in Figure 7, the following process is performed for product name 01: "Quantity x Unit Price = Amount"...(A), and the same process is executed repeatedly up to product name 10 (i.e., executed by changing the execution target line). ). When performing such processing, input image 5 contains the above
When specifying formula (A), only line number 01 is specified, such as quantity 01, so when processing product name 02, it is necessary to update the line number to be executed, such as quantity 02. becomes.

FIG. 10 shows the configuration of a specific example of this processing. Codes 17, 18, 19, 20 in the diagram
corresponds to FIG. 9, and a procedure code corresponding to the process shown as input image 5 in FIG. 7 is registered in the procedure storage unit 18. That is, when a row repetition designation is given from the procedure registration control section 17 to the row repetition designation control unit 42, the unit 42 registers this on the procedure storage section 18. Further, when the row repetition end designation is given to the row repetition state release designation control unit 43, the unit 43 registers this fact. In this way, the code corresponding to 〓 02 line repeat Product name 01 to product name 10 03 quantity 01 x unit price 01 = amount 01 04 line repeat end 〓 is registered on the procedure storage unit 18, as shown in Fig. 7, for example. be done.

Next, when the procedure execution control section 19 activates the procedure execution, each code is sequentially read out from the procedure storage section 18 and transferred to the corresponding execution unit via the route 44-1, and the corresponding process is executed.
At this time, the position from which each code is read is indicated by the procedure pointer 45. When the row repeat code is read from the procedure storage section 18, the row repeat execution control unit 46 is activated, and the unit 46 controls (i) the row repeat state flip-flop 47;
-i, (ii) set the row number update table contents in the row conversion table 48-i, (iii) set the repetition start row number 49 (01 in the case of Figure 7), (iv) end the repetition. The line number 50 (10 in the case of FIG. 7) is set, and (v) the currently executing line number 51 is initially set to 01. At this time, the contents of the procedure pointer 45, ie, the address next to the address where the row repetition code existed, are stored in the row repetition procedure address unit 52.

In this state, the above formula (A) is executed for the product name 01 shown in FIG. In this case, the procedure storage unit 1
8, quantity 01 x unit price 01 = amount 01 is read out and transferred to the execution unit via route 44-2. In this case, since the process is for product name 01, the line number conversion unit 53 does not change the line number in the procedure code according to the instruction from the line conversion table 48-i.

When the procedure code transfer for product name 01 is completed, the execution number 51 is updated to 02, and the line repetition cancellation execution control unit 54 updates the repetition end line number 5.
The content of 0 is compared with 10. In this case, since 02<10, the execution instruction is issued starting from the currently executing line number 51. Further, the contents of the row repetition procedure address unit 52 are preset in the procedure pointer 45, and the code Quantity 01 x Unit Price 01 = Amount 01 is read out from the procedure storage section 18 again and the row number conversion unit 53 is read out.
be guided by. At this time, the unit 53 receives an instruction from the row conversion table 48-i to change the execution target line number to 02, and the unit 53 changes the above code to quantity 02 x unit price 02 = amount 02. Transfer to execution unit.

Such processing is repeated and when the processing for product name 10 is completed, the line repetition cancellation execution control unit 5
4 resets flip-flop 47-n.

Although the term "box" is used above, the term should be interpreted broadly, and it goes without saying that it means a collection of information that falls under the box, including, for example, files.

(E) Effects of the Invention As explained above, according to the present invention, it becomes possible to process a group of cards having a common format as a box, and separate each card image into format data and card data. You can store them, merge them, and output them as needed. Further, card images can be displayed in a split display if necessary, and processing procedures to be processed can be sequentially created and registered. Furthermore, it becomes possible to execute common processing across multiple lines.
