Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document creation device that stores created documents in association with file names.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a document created according to input data from an input means is stored in a document storage means, and after the document is created, a registration process is performed according to the input from the input means. Depending on the file name input from the document storage means, the file name and the storage contents of the document storage means are associated and stored in the file storage means.

On the other hand, if document creation is temporarily interrupted during document creation and the power of the device is turned off, the document being created is stored in the document storage means, and when the power of the device is turned on,
A document being created that is automatically stored in the document storage means is being read out.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with these conventional devices, if an operator temporarily interrupts document creation while creating a document, or if the document creation is completed but moves to the registration process and the file is stored. If the device is switched off without being stored in the document storage means, this document is stored in the document storage means. Thereafter, when another operator turns on the power of the apparatus in order to create his own document, the document inputted by the certain operator is automatically read out from the document storage means. Therefore, if this other operator creates a document by inputting his own document after the read document, or if he accidentally deletes the document created by the above-mentioned operator. There is. For example, especially if the display of the device only displays one or several lines of a document, if there is a blank line when the document is read, nothing will be displayed on the display, so this The operator may not be aware that the document has been read.

Also, this other operator may realize that the document created by the certain operator has already been stored in the document storage means.
1, it is unclear whether the read document should be stored in the file storage means or whether it can be deleted. You can't do it unless you memorize it.

In this way, if the operator using the device is different, the operator who uses the device later may forcefully delete the document if it is already stored in the document storage means, or There is a problem of creating your own document following the document, and even if you realize that the document has been stored in the document storage device, you can't move on to the registration process and save the document to the file storage device. It was a hassle to have to memorize it.

Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the above problems,
To provide a document creation device capable of easily knowing that a document is stored in a document storage means and easily registering a document stored in a document storage means by linking it to a file name. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration as a means for solving the problems. That is, =3-=4 As illustrated in FIG. 1, there is a document storage means M2 that stores a newly created document according to input data from the input means M1, and a document storage means M2 that stores the document in association with a file name. a file storage means M3, and a document having a registration step of associating the file name with the storage content of the document storage means M2 in response to input of a file name from the input means M2 and storing it in the file storage means M3. In the creation device, a status storage device M4 stores information that a document being created is stored in the document storage device M2, and a state storage device M4 stores the document being created in the document storage device M2 by the status storage device M4 immediately after the device is started. This is the structure of the document creation device which is equipped with a registration transfer means M5 that automatically moves to the registration process when it is detected that the document is stored.

[Function] In the document creation device having the above configuration, the document storage means M2 stores a newly created document according to the input data from the input means M1, and the state storage means M4 stores the newly created document in the document storage means M2. When the registration transfer means M5 detects that the document being created is stored in the document storage means M2 by the status storage means M4 immediately after the device is started, the registration transfer means M5 registers the document stored in the document storage means M2. In response to the input of the file name from the input means M1, the file storage means M3 stores the file name and the document storage means M.
The memory contents of 2 are linked and stored.

[Example code] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of a document creation device that is an embodiment of the present invention. This document creation device includes a keyboard 1 as an input means M1 for inputting characters and editing instructions, a display 3 for displaying characters and figures, a flexible disk drive 5 as an external recording device, and a daisy wheel for inputting characters and figures. a printer 7 that prints using typefaces;
The electronic control unit 10 is connected to these devices and executes various control processes for printing document files and created documents.

The electronic control device 10 includes a well-known CPU II, ROM 12.
It is configured as a logic operation circuit mainly including RAM 14, etc., and controls a video RAM 15 that records pattern data of characters and figures to be displayed on the display 3, a keyboard input board 16 that inputs key data from the keyboard 1, and a flexible disk drive 5. and read the data.
It includes a flexible disk drive controller 18 for writing, a printer output port 20 for outputting print data to the printer 7, and the like.

The RAM 14 includes a text memory 14a for storing basic document files, and a plurality of file memories 14b for storing document files in association with file names, and stores various data in a rewritable manner.

Next, the video RAM 15 has a so-called dual port RAM configuration, and is configured to be accessible also by a display controller 22 provided independently of the CPU II. The display controller 22 controls the video RA at a period determined by the scanning frequency of the display 3.
The contents of M15 are repeatedly read out and displayed on the display 3. Therefore CPUII! Koyori video RAM
The data written in the predetermined area of 15 is immediately displayed on the display 3.

The keyboard 1 also includes numeric keys 30 for inputting numbers 1 to 9 and 0, and character keys 3 for inputting characters.
1. Return key 32 for entering line breaks and finalizing data; instruction key 33 for issuing various commands such as document creation, editing, and printing; and end key 34 for issuing document registration commands.
, a cursor key 35 for moving the cursor, and a power switch 36 for turning on and off the power of the device.

Next, a document creation routine performed in the electronic control device 10 described above will be explained with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. When the power switch 36 is turned on, the document creation device executes the document creation control routine along with other control routines.

First, in the process described later, the file creation in progress flag Fa, which is set to 1 when a new document is being created, is set to 1.
is set (step 100).
, hereinafter simply expressed as 5100.

The same goes for other steps. ). Next, the existing file flag Fb, which is set to 1 while creating an existing document that is registered in conjunction with the file name, is reset to 0 (S110), and a new document is created on the display 3. Display the new file creation screen (S1
20). Next, the first address data of the document to be created is set in the memory start pointer (S130).
The file creation flag Fa, which indicates that a new document is being created, is set to 1 (S140), and the key flag Fin, which indicates that a key input has been made, is reset to 0 (S150).

Next, some data is displayed on the display 3 and it is necessary to judge whether or not there is data in the text memory 14a.
160), if there is data, set 1 to key infrag group F (S170). Also, if there is no data, 51
Instead of executing the process 70, it is determined whether or not any key input has been made (9180), and the process waits until there is a key input.

When a key is input, it is determined whether a line feed has been performed or not depending on whether the return key 32 has been pressed or whether a line feed has been performed by so-called auto return or word wrap processing (S190), and a line feed has been performed. If not, it is determined whether the end key 34 has been pressed (S
200). If the key input is not the end key 34 input,
The process is executed according to the key input (S2
10).

For example, if the key input is the character key 31, the inputted character key 310 characters are displayed at the cursor position on the display 3, and the cursor is moved by one character. Subsequently, the processes 8180 to 210 are repeatedly executed to control the character keys 31 input by the operator.
A document is created according to key inputs such as the numeric keys 30.

Further, by repeatedly executing the processes from 5180 to 210, when the end of the line is reached and the return key 32 is pressed to start a new line (S190), the data for one line created in the text memory 14a is stored (S220). ). Next tz The last address data of this line is set in the memory end pointer (S230).

Then, the key in flag F indicating that there was a key input
The group is set to 1 (S240). In this way, said 81
The processes 80 to 240 are repeatedly executed, and a newly created document in response to the key input is stored in the text memory 14a. The document stored in the text memory 14a is a newly created document, no file name has been input yet, and the document is stored without being associated with a file name. When the power switch 36 is turned off while the processes 5180 to 240 are being repeatedly executed,
Although this control routine is once terminated, the document being created is still stored in the text memory 14a.

On the other hand, when adding or making corrections to an existing document whose file name has already been registered, instead of creating a new document, first, after turning on the power switch,
Press the end key 34.

As a result, it is determined that the end key 34 has been pressed (S200), the key in flag Fin is determined not to be 1 (S250), and the file name is displayed on the display 3 without executing the processes 5210, 220 to 240. The index screen is displayed (S260). Then, when a new file is selected by the operator (
S270), the processes from 8110 onwards are executed in the same way. Further, when a ready-made file name is selected by the operator (9280), a ready-made file flag Fb indicating that a document is created using a ready-made file is set to 1 (S290), and is linked to the selected ready-made file name. The read document is read from the file memory 14b and displayed on the display 3 (S300). Subsequently, the above 815
The processes 0 and below are repeatedly executed, and by executing the process 5170, 1 is set in the key infrastructure flag Fin, and the document is added and corrected.

Also, if a new file is not selected (S270) or an existing file is not selected (8280), other processing is executed in response to the key input request (S310).
The processing from 8260 onwards is repeatedly executed.

In this way, a new document is created, a registered existing document is corrected, a document is added, a document is created, and after the creation of the document is completed, it is registered according to the file name of the document. Therefore, when the end key 34 is pressed (S
200), since the key flag Fin is set to 1, the process moves to the following registration step, and it is determined whether the same file name has already been registered (S320). If there is no file with the same name, it is determined that it is a newly created document, moves to file name input mode, and displays a file name input screen on display 3 (
S330). Next, it is determined whether there is a key input (S340), and if there is a key input, it is determined whether the input is from the numeric keys 30 or character keys 31 (S340).
S350).

When a number key 30 or a letter key 31 is input, the file name corresponding to the input is displayed (3
360).

When the setting of the file name is completed and the return key 32 is pressed (S370), the file name and document are associated according to the input file name and stored in the file memory 14b to register the document. (S390). Next, it is assumed that the document creation has been completed, and the file creation in progress flag Fa is cleared (S400).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 5320 that a file with the same name already exists, the added, corrected and created documents are rearranged and rearranged in descending order of address, and are associated with the same file name in the file memory 14b. memorize it,
The document is registered (S410).

In this way, the created new document, added or corrected document is stored in the file memory 14b in association with its file name, and the document is registered. When the registration of this document is completed, the processes from 8260 onward are repeatedly executed, and the display 3 index screen is displayed to prompt the operator to create a new document, add or correct an existing document. The user is prompted to select one (S270, 280). When the operator makes one of the selections, the above-described process is repeatedly executed to create a document and store it in the RAM 14. Further, when the power switch 36 is turned off by the operator,
Execution of the document creation control routine is temporarily ended.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, when a new document is created without a file name being input, 8180-24
0 process is executed repeatedly, and the document being created is
It is stored in the text file 14a. In this state,
When the operator turns off the power switch 36 without pressing the end key 34, that is, without executing the processes below 8250, the document creation control routine ends once. At this time, the document being created is stored in the text file 14a, and the file name has not been registered (S390.400), so the file creation halfway flag Fa remains set to 1. It is.

Therefore, when the power switch 36 is turned on again in this state, the main document creation control routine is executed, and in 5100, it is determined that the file creation in progress flag Pa is set to 1, and the processing from 8320 onwards is executed. Execute. That is, as described above, the process moves to the registration process, and the operator is notified that the document being created is stored in the text file 14a. In step 5320, it is determined that the document is newly created, and the file name input mode is entered.
A display for inputting a file name is displayed on the display 3 (S330). Next, as described above, the file name is set according to the key input (5340-360), and when the return key 32 is pressed (S370), the file name and document are set according to the input file name. , and store it in the file memory 14b to register the document (
S390). Next, it is assumed that the registration has been completed and the file creation in progress flag Fa is cleared (S400).

In addition, the processing of 5180 to 240 and the text memory 14a
serves as the document storage means M2, and 3180 to 240,3
The processes 30 to 390 and the file memory 14b function as file storage means M3, the processes 5140 and 400 function as state storage means M4, and the processes 5100 function as registration transfer means M5.

In this manner, when there is a new document being created by the operator, the document creation device of this embodiment sets the file creation in progress flag Fa to 1, stores the document being created in the text file 14a, and turns on the power switch. 36 is turned off, the file creation in progress flag Fa is set to 1 and stored. Immediately after startup when the power switch 36 is turned on again by the operator, it is determined whether or not the file creation in progress flag Fin is set to 1, and if it is set, it is determined that there is a document in the process of creation, The process moves to a registration process that automatically associates and registers the file name with the document being created.

Therefore, immediately after the operator turns on the power switch 36 again and starts up, a screen for registering a file name is displayed, so that the operator can know that a document that is being created is stored in the text file 14a. . Therefore, even if the operator who turned off the power switch 36 in the middle of document creation and the operator who turned on the power switch 36 afterwards are different people, a subsequent operator can easily store the document being created in the text file 14a. It is possible to prevent the user from deleting a document that is currently being created using i4, or from accidentally inputting another document following the document that is currently being created. Furthermore, when there is a document in the process of being created, it is moved to the registration process, so
You can register the document you are currently creating by inputting the file name as is, then select whether to create a new document or use an existing document to create your own document.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments in any way, and it goes without saying that it can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, the document creation device of the present invention can detect that a document that is being created is stored.
Automatically moves to the registration process and notifies the operator that there is a document being created. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the operator 9 from accidentally deleting a document that is in the process of being created, or from accidentally creating another document following that document. Furthermore, since the process has moved on to the registration process, the operator can register the document by inputting the file name as is, which has the effect of making the operation easier.
