Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a Japanese document creation device, which stores a plurality of specified character strings, displays a list of the plurality of character strings, and stores the most recently specified character strings. This relates to the process of reusing a character string for input by repeating it using the repeat key.

Conventional technology Conventionally, when the same character string is used many times while creating a document,
The abbreviations were sent to the document processing device, and the short abbreviations were entered and replaced with long strings of characters. Furthermore, when copying the same character string, the area of the same character string is repeatedly designated many times.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Even if it is desired to reuse a character string input or specified in the past, it is difficult to do so with current document creation devices. If you can store a specified string and reuse it by calling it when necessary, you can reduce the need for tedious re-input operations. There are many opportunities to reuse the character string that was used immediately before Saranyo, and it is desirable to be able to re-enter it with a simple operation.

In view of this, the present invention has a character string storage section that can store a plurality of specified character strings, displays a list of stored character strings, and displays a list of stored character strings to facilitate operations for the operator. The purpose is to read a specified character string and temporarily store it so that it can be used repeatedly by specifying the re-input of a repeat key.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a means for inputting character strings and instructions to a device, a means for displaying character strings, a means for converting inputted reading character strings into written character strings, and a means for inputting character strings and instructions to a device. a character string storage means capable of independently storing character strings; a means for retrieving a plurality of character strings stored in the character string storage means, storing them in a temporary storage means and displaying them; and a character string storage means for storing specified character strings. This document creation device is provided with means for reading and writing in the means, and is used for repeated input of character strings stored in the temporary storage means according to the specifications of the repeat input designation means.

Effect The present invention has a character string storage unit that can store a plurality of designated character strings, and displays a list of stored character strings to facilitate operations by the operator, and displays a list of stored character strings in order to facilitate operations by the operator. By reading the specified character string and temporarily storing it, it becomes possible to use it repeatedly using the repeat key re-input specification.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a document creation device in an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes an input device, which includes character keys 1o1 for characters and symbols to be created in a document, and cursor movement keys 1o2 (upward cursor movement key, downward cursor movement key, leftward cursor movement key, and rightward cursor movement key). , area specification key 1o3 to specify the area of the character string
, a string storage key 1o4 that instructs to store a specified string in the string storage section, a list display key 1o6 that displays a list of strings in the string storage section, a string display that specifies a string from among the strings displayed. It includes a character string designation key 106, an execution key 107 for executing a given instruction, a release key 108 for canceling a given instruction, a repeat key 109 for designating repeated input of a specified character string, and the like. Reference numeral 2 denotes an input control unit which analyzes the input information of various keys input through the input 1 and controls the apparatus according to the results. 3 is a display device, which displays the contents of the document being created, the characters entered from input device 1, a cursor that indicates the position where characters should be input, the status of the device, and the next step. Displays guidance, etc. that shows the operator what instructions to do. Reference numeral 4 denotes a kana-kanji conversion unit, which converts character key information inputted from the character keys 101 into a written character string (or a foreign word). 6
is a conversion dictionary section for kana-kanji conversion, and this conversion dictionary is used to perform kana-kanji conversion. 6 is a document storage unit that stores character codes and character arrangement information (
tabs, line breaks, page breaks, etc.) are stored. Reference numeral 7 denotes a character string storage unit in which a plurality of specified character strings are stored, and by reading out the character string information, the character strings can be reused. 8 is a character position control section, and a document storage section 6
0 document or a plurality of character strings in the character string storage section 7, it is possible to specify from which character position a character is input or to which character string an instruction is given by using the cursor control key 102. Its position is indicated on the display device 3 by a cursor. This cursor can be arbitrarily moved using the cursor movement key 102. A display control unit 9 performs control for displaying on the display device 3.

For example, it transmits the cursor position information obtained from the character position control section 8, cuts out one screen worth of character strings that can be displayed on the display device 3 from the document storage section e or the character string storage section 7, and instructs to display guidance. 1o is a string management section υ, which stores the specified string in the document storage section θ in the string storage section 7 or specifies it in the string list of the string storage section 7 displayed on the display device 3. The character string is stored in the character string storage section 7.
The process of reading out the character string from the character string temporary storage unit 11 is performed.

The character string temporary storage section 11 temporarily stores the specified character string in the character string storage section 7, and its contents are read by repeatedly inputting the key 1090.

12 is a character string buffer section, which stores input character strings,
This is a buffer that temporarily stores character strings written in the character string storage section 7 or read out from the character string temporary storage section 11.

Next, the operation of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be explained using FIGS. 2, 3, and 4.

FIG. 2 shows the contents displayed on the display section 3 and the contents stored in the character buffer 12. a is the state before processing, and "AB" is displayed on the screen 2o of the display device 30.
The character string cDXJ is displayed, and the character string buffer 12 shows a state in which nothing is stored. b is a state in which the character string "BODEJ" is specified using the cursor movement key 1o2 and the area specification key 103, and the specified character string is temporarily stored in the character string storage buffer 12. The control unit 9 learns the position of the displayed character string, displays it in reverse video, and retrieves the corresponding character string from the document storage unit 6 and stores it in the character string buffer 12. C is a character string storage buffer. In this state, the character string storage key 106 is pressed in order to store the contents of 12 in the character string storage section 7. A list 22 of character strings stored in the character string storage section 7 is displayed on the screen 20. A plurality of character strings are displayed on this display 22, and each character string can be specified and specified.When the character string storage key 104 is input at step d, the character string is stored in the character string storage section γ. When the position is specified, the string management section 10 stores the contents of the string buffer 12 in the string storage section 7, and further performs processing to copy the contents of the string storage buffer 12 to the temporary string storage section 11. At the same time, the character string management unit 10 displays a list of character strings stored in the character string storage unit 7 to indicate that they have been stored (23).The storage location can be specified, for example, by the number of character strings that can be stored. Assign a number for each minute,
The configuration may be such that by specifying this number, the specified character string is stored in the desired storage location. Therefore, by specifying multiple numbers, the same character string can be stored in multiple storage locations.

FIG. 3 shows the contents displayed on the display section 3, the contents stored in and read out from the character buffer 12, and the status thereof. e is the state before processing, and the character string "...xYz..." is displayed on the screen 2o of the display device 3,
The character string buffer 12 shows a state in which nothing is stored. When the list display key 105 is pressed in f, the character string management section 1o displays a list 22 of the contents of the character strings stored in the character string storage section 7 on the screen 2o. At this stage, the character string management unit 1o does not perform any storage processing on the character string buffer 12 yet. g is the fourth character string 1'-ABO from the display contents of the list 22 using the character string specification key 106.
This is the state where DE J is specified. Displayed string -
When a character string is specified as shown in the table 22, the character string management unit 1o stores the specified character string “BCDI!: J” in the character string storage unit 7.
The character string is read out to the temporary character string storage section 11, and the contents are simultaneously stored in the character buffer 12. At h, the contents of the read character string buffer 12 are used as the input character string, and the character string "...XYZ...
” is inserted immediately after.

What is the content of the character string temporary storage unit 11 in Figure 4? repeat key 1
This shows the state in which the document is read out and inserted into the document according to the specification of 09. i is the state before processing, and the display device 3
The character string "...αβγ..." is displayed on the screen 2o, and the character string temporary storage section 11 stores "muB (jDEFJ), and the character string buffer 12 stores nothing." When the key 109 is pressed repeatedly at j, the contents of the temporary character string storage section 11 are copied to the character string buffer 12 through the character string management section 1o. At k, the contents of the copied character string buffer 12 are copied. The content is the input string, and the string that was already input is "...αβγ..."
It shows the state inserted immediately after.

Insertion is taken as an example here, but in addition to this, for example, a character string that has already been input can be treated as an input character string, an area specification character, a search character string, etc., and can be reused.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, character strings that have already been input can be reused with simple operations. If you memorize character strings such as kanji strings that are difficult to input, you can use them repeatedly with easy operations. 2. Because the character strings are stored in a specific memory section, Unlike a tray, once read, it does not disappear. 3. Displays a list of stored strings, so it can be used very easily by beginners. 4. The most recently used string is also stored in temporary memory. So,
By repeatedly inputting a key, it becomes possible to reuse it with a simple operation, which has a great practical effect.
