Abstract

PURPOSE:To quickly retrieve a desired page by providing a display control means which displays simultaneously plural pages while slipping plural pages. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 11 controls a document image processor main body and the entire part of a peripheral devices connected to the preceding main body. A RAM 13 serving as a work memory area of the data, etc., to be edited includes a paging flag 40 which designates paging way, a direction flag 41 which designates the paging direction, a register 42 which stores the start page, a register 43 which stores the number (n) of pages displayed after slipping them, a register 44 which stores an x-directional slipping quantity S1, and a register 45 which stores a y-direction slipping quantity V1. When a pointing icon 21 is pointed via a keyboard 5, etc., the pages subsequent a page under display in the document data are displayed with small slippage. Thus it is possible to turn over the pages while confirming the data on other pages, there fore to quickly and accurately transfer a desired page.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a method for displaying an arbitrary page in certain document data, while checking what the other page looks like when you want to move to another page. The present invention relates to a document processing device capable of specifying a desired page.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in this type of device, when you want to move from the currently displayed page to another page, you input the page number of the desired page, and either display the page suddenly on the screen or display it one after another. The next page and previous page are repeatedly turned on the screen according to the turning direction.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional device described above has the drawback that it is impossible to tell whether or not the desired page has been hit unless the page is actually turned, which significantly reduces the efficiency of document editing. .

The present invention was made in view of the above problems, and it is possible to quickly search for a desired page by, for example, shifting the display from the currently displayed page by a few pages before and after the page. The purpose of this invention is to propose a document processing device that does the following:

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above-mentioned problem requires a memory for storing a plurality of pages from an arbitrary page in a document processing device having a display means for displaying document information and a search means for searching document information. means and
This is achieved by a document processing device characterized by having a display control means that simultaneously displays a plurality of stored pages while shifting them. In this document processing device, it is preferable to display multiple pages starting from the currently displayed page in an overlapping manner.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to instruct the user to turn a page while establishing information on other pages, thereby making it possible to quickly and accurately move to a desired page.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

That is, the turning method flag 40. specifies the turning method. A direction flag 41 that specifies the turning direction, a register 42 that stores the start page, a register 43 that stores the number n of shifted display pages, a register 44 that stores the X direction shift amount S1 for each frame to be shifted and displayed, and a y direction shift amount. It has a register 45 that stores v1. When controlling the shift amount for each frame, the number of registers 44 and 45 equal to the number of frames to be shifted and displayed - 1 is required. 14 is a memory unit (VRA) for displaying image data on the display 2;
M). 15 is a memory management section for managing the aforementioned memory section. Reference numeral 16 denotes a rask operation unit that controls image operations such as movement and one rotation on the image displayed on the display (data internally developed in VRAM 16). 17 is a data I10 control unit for controlling data exchange with external storage media 7-8 and data input/output peripheral devices 3-6; 18 is a communication control unit for controlling data exchange with other processing devices, external storage devices, and data input/output peripheral devices via the communication line 9; Reference numeral 19 denotes a bus for exchanging data between the CPU section and each of the above-mentioned processing sections.

Description of processing outline> The control operation of the embodiment of the present invention in the above-described configuration will be described below.

In Figure 3, the page of document data currently displayed on display 2 is set to 20, and the shift turning instruction icon is set to 2.
Set to 1. Icon 21 on keyboard 5 or P, D
, 6, the following pages are displayed slightly shifted as shown in FIG. 22. number of pages displayed,
Use P, D, 6 or the keyboard 5 to specify whether the direction of turning is forward or backward. 23 in Figure 4 shows 3 pages displayed forward from the 5th page currently being displayed.If you want to specify the 3rd page from the 3 pages displayed on the screen, press P, D, 6 to indicate the display area of the third page, or keyboard 5 to indicate 3P.

Also, if the amount of deviation is small and other pages cannot be recognized sufficiently, it is possible to adjust the amount of deviation using the cursor 25, which moves by moving P and D6, as shown in Figure 5. be. Reference numeral 26 in FIG. 5 is an example in which the frame 22 shifted in FIG. 3 is shifted to the right, that is, in the y direction, and the shift in the X direction remains unchanged. Note that in the example of FIG. 5, the displacement of all frames is changed by one cursor movement, but the embodiment of the present invention also includes setting the frame on which the cursor is placed as the frame in which the displacement is adjusted.

Description of Internal Processing Procedures> The control of this embodiment described above is shown in a flowchart as shown in FIG. First, prior to the turning process, the turning method is instructed using Sl. Here, the turning method may be set in the case of continuous pages, or pages such as 5.10, 15.20, etc. as shown in FIG. 6. The turning method is set in the turning method flag 40. Next, advance the control to 32,
A turning direction is set, and the flag 41 is set to that direction. Next, if the page is turned from the current page, control proceeds from S3 to S5. If it is not from the current page, manually create the start page in S4. In S5, the number of images to be shifted and displayed (the number of images to be displayed simultaneously) is read into the register 43. In S6, the amount of shift is manually determined. When a particular numerical value is not entered manually, a default value is set in the registers 44 and 45, and each frame is displayed with a shift according to the set value of the device. When a desired deviation is desired, the amount of deviation in the X direction and the amount of deviation in the y direction must be determined manually using 86. In S7, corresponding data is retrieved from the external storage media 7 to 8 according to the set conditions, and is expanded into the RAM 13. Then at 38 R
Register 44.4 stores the position, size, and overlap status when data expanded to AM13 is expanded to VRAMI 4.
Calculate from the amount of deviation in step 5, and use the non-overlapping portion as VRAM.
14.

In S9, the type of operation is determined, and if the process is to specify a display page, the specified page is expanded into the VRAM 14 as an editing target (SIO). On the other hand, in the case of shift display processing, the above-mentioned shift amounts S1 and vl are calculated from the movement amount of the cursor, and S
In step 8, the frame is redeployed on the VRAM according to the new shift amount, and in step S11, control is performed to shift each page at once from the cursor movement amount instructed by P, D, and 6. The shift amount may be set individually for each page, and this amount may be set in the registers 44 and 45. In this case, the registers 44 and 45 will have the amount of shift for each frame.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to turn pages while checking data on other pages in continuous document data, so it is possible to quickly and accurately move to a desired page. It became.
