It is configured so that it can perform the data conversion (details will be described later) in which a document file is inserted from the same disk and a document file is taken in, and data processing records are sucked up from the text data of the same document file and stored in a data processing file.

Next, the operation and functions of the apparatus of this embodiment will be explained mainly in the flowchart of the control means (23) shown in FIGS.
The explanation will be given according to the display screen shown in the figure.

[A] Device startup and document selection When the device is first powered on, the document creation program is loaded and the initial screen shown in Figure 5-1 is displayed on the display means (
2) will be displayed. In the display example, four files numbered at the left end, such as <Nnl-4, have already been created and stored in the memory. All four files are created in the document creation mode, but the data processing files created in the data processing mode are configured to distinguish between modes by inverting the paper field in black. Also, at the bottom of the screen, function keys corresponding to the function keys (Fl) to (FIO) at the top of the input means (1) are displayed, with Fl being for editing (document creation) and F6 for data processing. Compatible.

CB] Starting the data processing mode As mentioned above, when the device is started, the initial screen shown in Figure 5-1 is displayed, and in the initial state, the horizontal cursor (C1) is set to accept the creation of a new document at 0. In order to notify that the NQO is ready, the row of the NQO is inverted in black. In this state, the function key (F6") for selecting data processing from the menu items at the bottom of the display screen is pressed so that the document selected based on step S1 in FIG. 3 will be created in data processing mode. Then, the data processing mode is entered in step S2.Step S
When it is determined in step 3 that a new document is to be created, the display screen changes to that shown in FIG. 5-2, and a window is displayed in the lower right frame requesting input of the document name, date, etc. In this way, when you press the execution key (Sv1) after entering the document name, date, etc. in the lower right frame of the multi-window screen, the document creation program that has been loaded up to now is disabled in step S48. Instead, a data processing program is loaded. As a result, the data processing mode is activated, the display screen changes to that shown in FIG. 5-3, and the process moves to the card design routine of step S5.

[C] Card design The screen shown in Figure 5-3 corresponds to a blank page in the document creation mode, and the cursor (C2) can be moved freely within the blank page. Character input,
A free input screen can be used as a text editing method (
Using the function 10), it is possible to design using the same operations as in the document creation mode. At the bottom of the display screen, function keys are displayed for specifying the data type (characters, numbers, etc.) of the item desired to be input.

Now, according to Figure 5-4, name, age, address, employee food,
We will explain the design of the employee management card consisting of five items for the group. First, move the cursor (C2) to the appropriate location on the screen,
Enter the item name "Name" using kana-kanji conversion.0 Next, move the cursor to the rightmost data entry start position of the name,
To input characters, press the function key (Fl) that indicates the character item, and then move the cursor movement key (SW2) of the input means (1) to move the cursor from r and starting position 1t (Pi) to final cursor position (F2). The fields up to ``Address'' are inverted in black (X), and the temporary item data input area can be confirmed.

If this temporary area is fine, press the execution key (S%Jl) and the underlined X° will fill in the area since it is a character item.
clarifies the starting position (Pl) by increasing the height of the characters. Similarly, define each item in "age", "address", "employee code group" in the same way as "name", and when inputting a numerical value such as "age", "employee code group", there is a function that specifies the numerical value item. Press the key <F2), in this case the input area will be filled in with an underlined "N'" (Figure 5-5).

In the definition of this input item, depending on whether the size of the cursor (C2) is set to half-width, full-width, or double-width, the size of Data input conditions are defined using characters or numbers accordingly. If you enter the maximum number of characters that are allowed next to an input item, for example 'name', and then trace the cursor over the input characters, you will be able to define the item data input with the number of digits in line with the input characters. can be done. In this case, the number of digits can be easily designed because there are no definitions depending on the number of digits of input characters.

[D] Data input When you finish setting each item and press the end key (Fil) of the input means (1), two functions with large inverted characters on the left and right will appear at the bottom of the screen as shown in Figure 5-6. All the keys are displayed, and the left half (Fl) to (
When any one of F5) is pressed, the process moves to step S6 in FIG. 3 where items are entered in the form of one card per item (step 37). Also, the right half of the function key (F6)
When any one of ~(FIO) is pressed, card definition is canceled and the process returns to step S1. In step S7, the display screen is as shown in Figure 5-7, where the underlined ° Not only the cursor position is displayed, but also the number of cards being input is displayed. The data input waiting cursor (C3) can only move in the item area designed in the card design (the area where X or N was located), and the cursor size is automatically changed to the defined character size.

In addition, in character items, free Kanji and Kana characters can be entered through kana-kanji conversion, but in numeric items, only the numeric keys of the input means (1) are accepted, making it possible to input only numeric strings.

When the input of each item is completed, the display screen as shown in Fig. 5-8 is displayed, and when the next page key (F12) of the input means (1) is pressed, the screen is changed to a new page and becomes blank based on step S9 as shown in Fig. 5-9. This becomes a new card, the second card is displayed, and the process returns to step S7 to input item data in the form of the second card as shown in FIGS. 5-10. By repeating the loop of steps S7 to S9 in this way, an arbitrary number of card-type employee management data items (one sheet per item) are created. In this example, the 5-1
As shown in Figure 1, 12 cards were created.

[E] When the display switching key (F13) is pressed in the display format switching step S7, the flow shifts to the flow shown in FIG. 4, and the data display format management means (13) switches to the fifth
-12 Automatically switch from the previous card format screen to the list display (step S22), this -
In the electrical display, the data (code) of one card is assigned to one line and displayed, and the display order and width are determined by the order of the items when viewed from the top left to the bottom right in the card design. - Corresponds to the left-to-right order of a line of electrical equipment, and the width corresponds to the number of digits for that item as determined during definition. The order and length in one line can be arbitrarily changed by operating the display format change key (F14) of step 323 to proceed to step 825. In addition, if the number of characters is larger than the number of characters that can be displayed in the horizontal direction of the screen, the items from the left to the middle of the displayable items will appear on the screen, and horizontal scrolling will be performed by moving the cursor (C3) to the right. Any item can be displayed on the screen.

Moreover, when the next page key (F12) is pressed in step S23, the card Il&L13 (not shown) is pressed in step S24.
A column is automatically additionally displayed, and by inputting item data here, additional creation of a new record (card) is executed in the electrical equipment display state.

[F] Numbering Next, use the numbering function to automatically input data into the "employee code ° and 1 group" items of the 12 cards created in the above example. In step S7, move the cursor C3 to the ``Employee Code°'' item, and press the calculation key (F14) to display the screen shown in Figure 5-13.Press 13' of the numeric keypad (SW4) to display the screen in Figure 5-13. 14 As shown in Figure 14, the numbering setting subwindow (W) opens on the screen. Here, ``Initial value'' in the numbering setting subwindow (W) means the number to be assigned to the first card, and ``Minimum'' means the number to be assigned to the card. ``maximum'' means the maximum number to be attached to a card, ``increment'' means the number interval for numbering, and ``card°'' means the range of cards to be numbered. 89011 to the value ゛A°
°, 89011' for minimum 1B'', '899 for maximum 'C'
91', "10' in increments D°, 1 in card 'E#F'
Set the angle to ~12° (Fig. 5-15), press the execution key (S).
When is pressed, the numbering flow shown in FIG. 6 is executed (step S12), and in step 513, the card number IE1 is set in the variable IZ1. Step S14
It can be determined if Z>F', that is, whether the numbering of the 12 cards has been completed. If not, the second card is opened in step S15, and the initial value 'A' is set in the variable 4X1 in step S16. Next, in step S17, the I Input the variable (the value of
<C', that is, it is determined whether the input employee code exceeds "89991°. If it does not, 1 is added to the variable 'z' in step 319, and the process returns to step 313. On the other hand, N at lbu S1g
If it is determined that cp, the process moves to step 320 and the variable “
The minimum value j B l is set to X′, and step S21
Then, 1 is added to the variable 'X', and the process returns to step 813 again. After repeating steps 813 to 321, if Yes is determined in step S14, the numbering is finished and the process returns to step S7. At this time, when the cards are displayed as a list, it can be confirmed that data input has been completed for the employee code item, as shown in Figure 5-16.

Next, four group numbers 1 to 4 are input to the 12 cards using the numbering function. Move the cursor to the group item and press "3°" on the calculation key (Fl4) and numeric keypad (51/4), then set the numbering conditions as 3 for the initial value, 1 for the minimum, 4 for the maximum, and 1 for the increment. , set numbers 1 to 12 on the card (Figure 5-17)
. Next, when the execution key (SWI) is pressed for numbering, steps S13 and SOL are repeated, and data is input into the group items of each card. After numbering is completed, when the electrical equipment is displayed, the display screen becomes as shown in Fig. 5-18, and it can be confirmed that data input for the group items has been completed.

In this way, after data entry into the 12 cards is completed, by pressing the end key (Fil) in step S8, the screen shown in Fig. 5-19 is displayed, and in step S15, the document name, author, name and date are displayed in the window1
If you are satisfied with what is displayed, press the execution key (SWI), and after inputting the corrected items such as the document name and date, press the execution key (SWI) to process the data for the 1 employee management ledger. The file is closed and the process returns to step S1. Finally, in FIG. 5-20, it is displayed that the new data processing file P&15 has been recorded in the memory.

(g) Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the present invention, when inputting data, determines the initial value of the input data, the minimum and maximum of the input data, the range of the input data, and the distance between each data of the input data. By setting the increments and the range of the input area for inputting data, you can not only input continuous data but also input intermittent data and input data repeatedly. Input can be performed quickly and accurately, and data reliability and operability can be improved.
