Abstract

PURPOSE:To edit a short frame into an appropriate size in correspondence with data by adjusting the frame in correspondence with input data when input data does to fit to the frame. CONSTITUTION:In a ruled line processing routine, a command is judged to be an FIT command or not. If it is not the FIT command, the command is investigated in respective branches and a corresponding processing is executed. After all respective commands are processed, it is checked whether all ruled line data are stored in the frame or not. When they are projecting from the frame, a page processing means 26 executes a frame size alteration processing, executes the alteration processing of ruled line data and a display means 28 executes the display processing of a page so as to return a system.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application fields] The present invention relates to a document processing device, particularly to characters (text).

The present invention relates to a document processing device that formats document data using figures, images, etc.

The word ``composition'' originally refers to one process of letterpress printing, and it refers to ``picking up type based on the manuscript, and placing it in the order of one character, nine lines, and one character apart, based on the specifications of the manuscript.

This means "to properly assemble the line spacing (M), etc., and create a well-balanced document", but in the present invention, it means to perform these processes electronically.

[Prior Art] In conventional word processors (hereinafter referred to as word processors), when drawing a table in a document that is ruled by one vertical line, one horizontal line, etc., it is done by connecting ruled line segments, and it is used to draw graphical data such as maps and illustrations, photographs, etc. When pasting image data such as, draw a rectangular frame (hereinafter also referred to as a block) closed with block marks indicating the frame pieces, and in that block, write the attributes of the frame such as images and shapes, and separate from the frame. A method was used in which an identifier such as a name was set to correspond to the created and prepared data, and an image or figure was pasted into the frame when printing.

On the other hand, in recent years, with the development of microprocessors and advances in peripheral devices such as CRTs and printers, advanced document processing has come to be performed using workstations. It's usually WSIWYG (What You See I
s What You Get), which performs input and editing in real time while displaying the print result of the document on the screen. Furthermore, since the document contains independent information as blocks, independent processing can be performed as blocks.

When actually performing manual editing operations in this block,
First, you must enter block manual editing mode, instruct frame blanking (block definition), and determine the information of the block to be blanked in the document. Next, for the empty block, the mode shifts to text manual editing, graphic input editing, image input editing, etc., and data such as graphics and images are input and edited for each text. Here, if the data actually input and edited is smaller (or smaller) than the block, the block input/edit mode is returned to and the block size is reduced. Also, if the block size becomes insufficient during data input, the block size is enlarged by returning to the block input editing mode. If there is a discrepancy between the data amount and the block size and the appearance is unsatisfactory, input editing is performed by switching back and forth between the data manual editing mode and the block manual editing mode and repeating the operation many times each time.

[Question that the invention is trying to solve] However, in conventional word processors, the direction of blocks that can be enlarged by moving ruled line segments is only one direction as the number of sentences increases or decreases. Since the data is created separately from the block, there is no relationship between the size of the data and the block size. Also,
Even in conventional typesetting processing using a workstation, block input editing operations and data manual operations are completely separated, as described above.

Therefore, if a problem occurs with the size or shape of the data in a block, each time you go back to manually edit the block, adjust the size and shape of the block, and then input and edit the data again. must be repeated, making the operation extremely complicated.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and provides a document processing device capable of editing a rectangular frame (block) to an appropriate size in accordance with data.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to solve this problem, the document processing device of the present invention has the following features:
A document processing device that creates one document by allocating data such as character data, graphic data, image data, table data, etc., comprising a frame creating means for creating a frame in which each of the data is allocated, and inputting each of the data. and frame adjustment means that adjusts the frame in accordance with the human data when the human data does not fit the frame.

Here, the human power means can manually create each data outside the frame created by the frame creation means.

The apparatus further includes frame creation instructing means for instructing the creation of a frame when the frame does not exist.

[Operation] In this configuration, since the size of the frame is changed according to the manually inputted data, it is possible to edit the rectangular frame (block) to an appropriate size according to the data.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, "document" as used in the present invention refers to sentences (characters)
This represents a data group consisting of at least one of nine figures and images. Further, the document processing device of the present invention can be used as a single device or a system consisting of a plurality of devices, as long as it achieves the functions of the present invention.
It may include each device or each system achieved through an AN or the like.

Example of Operation of Document Processing Apparatus> FIGS. 3 to 9 are diagrams illustrating the operation of this embodiment using specific display examples.

FIG. 3 shows the manual editing screen of this embodiment. 31 is a display screen corresponding to document paper, and initially a black dot 34 is displayed indicating that no text data (character data) has been input. A document editing cursor 32 indicates the current manual editing position of data. 33 is a pointing cursor that moves in conjunction with PCl3 in Fig. 1, and the document editing cursor 32
Movement, range specification settings, and command instructions are performed together with a switch (not shown) of the PCl3.

The data from the KBD 18 is manually input while being converted into kana-kanji from the position of the manual editing cursor 32. An edit menu 35 is used to select functions that can be performed on the document sheet 31 and to switch data to be manually edited. Reference numeral 36 denotes a command menu which shows sub-functions of each function of the edit menu 35. Normally, manual editing of a block (frame) is performed by selecting the frame editing menu 37, and when manually editing data in that block, select "
"Text", "Table", "Graphics".

Select "Image" or the like to display the command menu 36, and then do this. Here, the highlighted edit menu 35 indicates the currently selected edit menu.

(Text MA Collection) Text editing allows you to input and edit characters on paper or in frames. Character input is performed using functions such as romaji-kana conversion and kana-kanji conversion. A format is assigned to each sheet of paper, including the paper size, the position of the hanmen which is the area for inputting and editing documents, etc. on the sheet, the number of columns in nine columns, the font size of the main text, and the font (Mincho). , Gothic, etc.), non-pull (page number), column (heading outside the margin), etc. are defined. Characters are organized and displayed or printed according to this format. Also, the editing function allows you to change partial font size, font, and underline.

We also perform character modifications such as emphasis marks, ruby, superscripts, and subscripts, and line alignment such as centering, right alignment, left alignment, and equal allocation.

It also has a search and replace function that searches for a string and replaces it with another string.

Further, the cursor 32 moves to follow the characters as they are moved, input, or deleted.

(Figure editing) Next, figure editing involves inputting figures such as 8 straight circles, rectangles, ellipses, etc., changing surface types and line types, moving 1 figure, copying 1 erasing, transforming 1 rotation, enlarging, reducing, etc. It has an editing function, is composed of multiple layers, and has functions such as a multi-layer structure that allows each layer to be displayed and edited individually, and multiple layers to be displayed in an overlapping manner.

(Image editing) Image editing is the manual processing of images from an image scanner.
Rotation 1 inversion and movement of image data.

It has functions such as copying, erasing, dot-by-dot editing, and trimming to partially cut out image data.

(Frame Editing) Frame editing is the process of newly defining, modifying, and deleting floating frames (floating blocks) and fixed frames (fixed blocks).

(Table-setting processing) In table-setting processing, editing can be performed on sections that are not occupied by small group members. Functions can be broadly divided into two: border editing, which draws, moves, and deletes borders, and character editing, which allows you to manually edit text and add decorations such as underlining and ruby. The purpose of ruled line editing is to create a table by drawing ruled lines, and to create a rectangular area surrounded by ruled lines called a cell.

Characters can be entered manually into this cell. The purpose of character editing is to manually enter characters into cells created by ruled line editing. By using these two editing functions, you can quickly and easily create high-quality and complex tables. The table function in this embodiment can only be used within a block.

(Automatic frame control processing) The automatic frame control processing of this embodiment will be explained below using the example of "one table set", but is not limited to this, and the "figure"
``Image'' ``It doesn't matter if it's text.

FIG. 4 shows a manual editing screen that is displayed when "1 table set" is selected in the editing menu shown in FIG.

In the input editing screen shown in FIG. 3, since no blocks are defined, it is impossible to use the "table" function. In this case, a frame creation menu 41 separate from the frame editing 37 is displayed to enable block definition. This is done by selecting either a floating block (floating frame) or a fixed block (fixed frame) in the frame creation menu 41 and selecting two diagonal points of the block using the pointing cursor 33.

Here, when a block is defined, it becomes possible to input MA collection of "one table set", so the command menu is opened as shown in FIG. 5, and the "table set" manual editing state is entered.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a ruled line input/edit screen for "1 table set".

For "table layout", ruled lines are entered using the ruled line command 51 on the ruled line manual editing screen, and edited using other commands in the command menu 52 as appropriate. The area surrounded by the completed ruled lines is called a cell, and by instructing the character editing command 53, characters are input into each cell on the manual character editing screen shown in FIG. 6, and a table is created. Manual editing of ruled lines not only allows you to manually edit the lines, but also allows you to change the thickness of the line, type of line such as dotted line, edit ruled lines 8yJJ, copy them, etc.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for manually editing characters in "table format". On the character input editing screen, you can not only input the characters in each cell to the car, but also change the size of the characters in each cell and the Gothic style.
Setting fonts such as Mincho and other attributes related to cells 63
and character decorations such as ruby, superscript, subscript, and underline for each character64, right alignment, and left alignment.

It is possible to issue instructions such as prohibition of special editing and separation 66 such as centering. FIG. 6 shows how, after creating ruled lines using the ruled line input/editing shown in FIG. 5, character strings are actually entered manually into cells surrounded by the ruled lines.

Here, as a result of actually inputting the character string, if the table 61 is not large enough, it is necessary to expand the table 61, but the block size is not large enough to expand the table 61. , the block itself also needs to be expanded. Therefore, if the necessary number of ruled lines 71 are drawn by manually editing the ruled lines as shown in FIG. 7, the block itself will be expanded as shown in FIG. 8.

Also, if part 62 of table 61 is not used in Fig. 6,
When the ruled line in the portion 62 is erased by the ruled line erasure 54, the data in the cell defined by the ruled line is erased. However, as a result, the blank space at the bottom of the block becomes too large, so by pressing the rF I TJ key (not shown) on the keyboard, the size of the block can be optimized as shown in Figure 9. .

Example of Data Format> FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the format of a document file in the hard disk 16.

The header 101 stores flags of a hardware environment in which this document file can operate, pointers to each data 102 to 106 in the document file, and the like.

The document/table data pointer 123, the graphic data pointer 124, and the image data pointer 125 are pointers to the document/table data, graphic data, and image data of the corresponding frame data in the fixed frame data 104.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the layout of text/table data that is part of the document data in the hard disk 16, and shows an example of the layout of the control table 130. Ruled line table 140. Text table 150. It is composed of a cell (frame as shown in FIG. 14) attribute table 160.

The control table 130 is for managing the entire text/table data. The model number stores a number representing the tabular data format. The coordinate transformation information 132 is internally recorded t
,! Control OII information for conversion from coordinate units to CRT or printer coordinate units is stored. Next, the offsets of diagonal lines, horizontal lines, fir lines, text, and cell attributes +1133 to +137 are data indicating the starting point address of the table area of the diagonal line, horizontal line, N line, text data table, and cell attribute table of the ruled line table. In addition, the count indicates the number of diagonal lines, horizontal lines, vertical lines, text, and cell attribute records, with diagonal line records up to n, horizontal line records up to n2, bar records up to n3, and text records up to n3. The number of cell attribute records is up to n4, and the number of cell attribute records is up to n5.

These offsets and counters allow the areas of the ruled line table, text table, and attribute table to be grasped.

The ruled line table 140 has diagonal lines 141 . Horizontal line】42. This is a collection of information for each vertical line 143.

An offset value indicating where in 0 is stored is stored. If there is no text, a value of -1 is stored. Each record 14 of the ruled line table 140
1 to 143 are arranged in diagonal lines and horizontal lines in ascending order of X coordinate values, and vertical lines in ascending order of X coordinate values, based on the start position information indicated by P (x, y). Note that this ruled line may be called an elemental piece that constitutes a cell.

Text table 150 has variable length text records 15
Consists of 1. Attribute offset is the attribute of the text, such as writing direction (vertical/horizontal writing), font size,
This is an offset indicating where in the cell attribute table, character alignment such as left, right, centering, line spacing, character spacing, etc. are stored. The text address is the start address of the text data. The text count stores the number of characters in text data. The text data is an array of character codes and consists of text count 2-byte codes. Flags such as the display state of cells are set. One text record exists for each cell having characters or attributes, and there is always one cell attribute record for this text record. However, the same cell attributes are assigned to texts that have exactly the same cell attributes.

The cell attribute table 160 has a variable length cell attribute record 1.
It consists of 61 pieces. The attribute size is the size of one cell attribute, and the number of bytes is stored. A flag indicating whether the flag is used or not is stored. In the middle color, the middle color pattern number of the cell is stored. The composition flag is a flag for vertical or horizontal writing, and whether to specify 1 character pitch between characters.
A flag indicating which one-line pitch is specified is stored. The table format stores information on top, bottom, left, right character alignment, rotation angle for rotated display, and display format (outline, overwriting, etc.).

Font stores information about character fonts (Mincho, Gothic, etc.). The font size stores the size of the font. For the line pitch and character pitch, values of line pitch or line spacing, character pitch, or character spacing are stored according to the set flag. The values of the left and right margins and the top and bottom margins are stored in the left and right margins and the top and bottom margins.

The vertical and horizontal ruled lines are divided and stored at intersections, as shown in FIG. Since it is memorized in this way, it is possible to draw a table graphically, and when editing each cell (delete only the left side of one cell, etc.), it is possible to do it for each element. becomes. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, the text data of each cell is held by a horizontal ruled line 170 (a ruled line shown in bold) at the upper left end of the ruled lines forming each cell.

Processing Procedure Flowchart> Next, the document processing and typesetting processing procedures of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Note that the term "document" used here includes image data. Further, to simplify the explanation, explanation of the key controller and the like will be omitted, and it will be assumed that the MPU 14 manages everything.

Also, the processing procedure is programmed, but it is
It may be in the SK16 or may be in the form of a ROM.

The MPU 14 uses the keyboard 18 or the PC in step S1.
Waiting for human power from l3 etc., and when key human power is performed, it is determined in step S2 whether it is a document call command,
If it is not a call command, transfer to other control. (Descriptions not directly related to the present invention will be omitted). If it is a call command, it is determined in step S3 whether there is no document data in the image memory or page memory (not shown) and the page is in a blank state, that is, in an initial state. If it is not in an initial state, the process advances to step S5 and thereafter; if in an initial state, it is determined. Step S4

If the key command is a print command, step S
At step 23, print processing is executed.

If the key input is a table layout command, table layout processing is executed in step S25.

If the key input is another application selection command, other application processing, such as document update, is performed in step S27.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the table processing routine of step S25 in FIG.

In step S3, the system waits for the input of PCl3, and when it is manually input, it is checked in step S32 whether or not the type of manual input is to open a new slot. If a new frame is vacant, the process advances to step 333, and the frame is empty. A new frame is created by specifying two diagonal points.

Next, in step S34, the new frame is set as a target for manual editing of the table, and the process advances to step S37.

If a new slot is not vacant in step S32, step S35
Checks whether an existing frame has been specified, and if it is not an existing frame, exits table formatting processing and returns.

If it is an existing frame, the frame designated in step 336 is set as the table input editing frame and the process advances to step S37.

In step S37, human input from the keyboard 18 or the PCI 3 is waited for, and if there is an input, the instruction is determined in each of the following branch steps, and processing according to the instructed editing is performed.

It is checked in step S38 whether manual editing of ruled lines has been instructed, and if input editing of ruled lines, ruled line processing is performed in step S39.

If inputting and editing characters, character processing is performed in step S41.

If it is another table command, other table command processing is executed in step S43, and the process returns to step S37.

If the command is not one of the above commands, exit table formatting processing and return.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the processing routine shown in step S3'3 of FIG. 16.

In step S51, an area for control data of the fixed frame control unit shown in FIG. 11 is secured. Hereinafter, to simplify the explanation, the explanation will be given assuming that the control data 126 in FIG. 11 is secured.

In step S52, the specified page to be blanked out is set to page number 113. Next, in step S53, default values are set for line type 115 and line width 116,
In step S54, the point designated as the starting point by the PD 17 is converted into the X coordinate and the X coordinate value with the origin of the upper left end of the paper sheet, and the X coordinate ti7. Set the y coordinate to 118.

In step S55, the width of the frame and the height of the frame are calculated from the start point and end point specified by the PD 18, and the frame width is 119 and the frame height is 1.
Set it to 120. Ste, Tsubu S56, prohibited area 1
A default value is set in 21, and each pointer 122 to 125 is initialized in step S57.

Next, in step S58, the fixed frame control unit 103 is searched, and in step S59, it is checked whether there is a frame that overlaps with the frame that is about to be vacated. If there is no overlap, the priority 114 is set in step S60. "1" is set, and if there is an overlap, the value obtained by adding "1" to the largest priority value is set in the priority 114 in step S61, and the page display process is called in step S62 to display the displayed page. Display the empty frame and other data and return.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the ruled line processing routine of step S39 in FIG. 16.

In step S71, it is determined whether it is a “FIT” command,
If it is a "FIT" command, in step S72, the X coordinate with the upper left corner of the data frame of each ruled line as the origin is checked, and the maximum value and RL small value are determined, and in step S72
In step S73, the width and height of the area where the ruled line data exists is determined, and in step S74, 2α (α is a constant and can be set/changed by editing operation) is added to the width as left and right margins. Set the object to frame width 119.

In addition, in step S75, the height is set to 2 as the top and bottom margins.
The frame height 120 is set by adding β (β is a constant and can be set/changed by editing operation).

Next, in step S6, all the ruled line data within the frame is recalculated using the minimum x and X coordinates obtained in step S72 as α and β, and the coordinate values of the ruled line data are changed. Step S
In step 77, the page is displayed with the changed frame and ruled line data and the process returns.

If it is not a "FIT" command in step S71, the command is checked in each of the following branches and corresponding processing is performed. If a ruled line is to be drawn, a ruled line drawing process is performed in step S79, if a ruled line is to be moved, a ruled line movement process is performed in step S81, and if a ruled line is to be copied, a ruled line movement process is performed in step S83. If it is a ruled line deletion process, the ruled line deletion process is performed in step 585, and if it is not one of the above commands, other ruled line command processing is performed in step 5136.

After processing each command, the process advances to step S87, and in steps S87 and 388 it is checked whether all the ruled line data is within the frame, and if it is outside the frame, the frame size is changed in step S89, Step S90
Processing to change the ruled line data is performed in step S77, and page display processing is performed in step S77, and the process returns.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the frame size change processing routine of step S89 in FIG.

In step 510, if the overhang is performed on the top of the frame, in step 5102, ff1 (y direction) + β of the overhang at the top is added to the frame height 120, and in step 51
In step 03, if the protrusion is performed on the bottom of the frame, in step 5104, the amount (y direction) + β added to the bottom is added to the frame height 120, and in step 5105, the protrusion is performed on the left side of the frame. If it is, add 4A (x direction) + β that protrudes to the left side to the frame width 119 in step 5106,
In step 5107, if the protrusion is performed on the right side of the frame, in step 5108, the ff1 that protrudes on the right side is
Add (x direction) +β to the frame width 119 and return.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the ruled line data change processing routine of step 390 in FIG.

Check whether the ruled line data protrudes from the top in step 5111, and if it does, step 5
In step 112, the minimum value of the y-coordinate of the ruled line data within the frame is determined.

Next, in step 5113, the coordinate values of other ruled lines are recalculated by setting the minimum value to β, and the data of the ruled lines is regenerated. In step 5114, check whether the right side of the iki is protruding,
If the right part protrudes, the minimum value of the X coordinate of the ruled line data within the frame is determined in step 5115, and in step 5116, the minimum value is set to α, the coordinate values of other ruled lines are recalculated, and the ruled line data is regenerated and the process returns.

Note that the values of α and β may be set by the operator, or the system may automatically determine the optimum values. Needless to say, it is also possible to enable both.

In addition, in this embodiment, there are many cases in which the thickness of the frame is changed during manual editing of each data, so when editing each data manually, 'FI
Although "FIT" is provided, "FIT" may be performed when editing the frame.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a document processing device that can edit a rectangular frame (block) to an appropriate size in accordance with data.

That is, as long as a frame larger than the data to be manually edited is opened in advance, the appropriate size of the frame can be easily determined after the manual editing, and the operation can be greatly reduced. Also, -
Once the data is input, even if the amount of data is biased, the optimal dog size can be easily determined.
