Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a character processing device, and more particularly to a character processing device capable of automatically inputting items in an index item table.

[Prior Art] There is an index item table for inputting index items necessary for executing index creation processing. In order to input an index item into the index item table, a character string corresponding to the index item is input using an input device such as a keyboard.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] Therefore, when creating an index for documents (papers, etc.) created by a preliminary character processing device, it is necessary to refer to the print results output by the printing means of the character processing device. , index entries had to be entered in the index entry table. (This means re-inputting data that has been input twice.) [Means for solving the problem] A character processing device according to the present invention has a character string corresponding to an index item of a document on a document memory. and enter the furigana for that index item. By doing so, index items can be registered, and index creation can be facilitated by expanding the index items into blank spaces in the index item table.

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

FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of a character processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes an index item input means which inputs an index item and furikana of the item into an index item unit buffer to be described later. 2 is an index item buffer setting means which sets the index item unit buffer as an index item buffer.

Reference numeral 3 denotes an index item table blank space search means that searches for a blank position for developing an index item in the index item table. Reference numeral 4 denotes an index item table expansion means, which expands the index items of the index item buffer to the positions determined in the process of 3. After sorting the furigana alphabetically, unused columns in the index item table are deleted.

FIG. 2 shows a specific example of an embodiment of the invention.

(a) is a diagram showing the contents of the document memory, which includes documents read into the document memory and documents input using an input device or the like. A character string to be input as an index item is searched for from among them, and a range of the character string is specified with a cursor or the like on the display screen using the keyboard 11 described later or a pointing device (not shown). The character string is input into the index item section of the index item unit buffer in (c).

In the index item window 31 shown in (b), the input character string is displayed on the screen, and its furigana is input using the input device. The input result is input into the index item furigana part of the index '31 item unit buffer in (C).

Next, the input index item unit buffer is input to the index item buffer shown in (e).

Then, the data in the index item buffer is input and expanded to a predetermined position in the index item table (FIG. 2(e)). Then, based on the input furigana, a sorting process is performed in alphabetical order (FIG. 2(f)). After that, if there is an unused column in the index item table, that column is deleted to save document memory.

FIG. 3 is a control block diagram illustrating the control configuration of the character processing device.

A keyboard 11 includes keys for instructing processes necessary for character processing.

12 is a CPU in the form of a microprocessor, and RO
Each device connected to the path line 21 is comprehensively controlled according to the processing procedure stored in the M13 (including the procedures shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, which will be described later).

14 is a writable random access memory (RAM)
) includes a document memory 15, a cursor register 16, a leading display register 17, and other memory areas 18 necessary for character processing.

Note that the document memory 15 stores character information based on character codes and information regarding stored character information. The cursor register 16 stores the cursor position on the display 19. The first display register 17 is the first display register of the displayed line.
Remember the character position of the digit.

The display 19 displays, for example, 42 columns*21 lines of document information and a cursor.

The storage wave layer 20 is an FD (floppy disk) or HD (hard disk) that stores documents and the like.

The pass line 21 carries address signals necessary for controlling each part,
Transfers data signals and control signals.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show the CPU 12 stored in the ROM 13.
3 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing means of the present invention performed by.

When this device turns on the power, it first proceeds to SL in FIG.

Sl maintains a state of waiting for command input from the keyboard. If any Macondo is input, the process advances to S3 and the input command is determined.

As a result of the input command input, if the input command is for index item table automatic item input, the process advances to S4 to perform index item table automatic item input processing, and if the input command is for other processing necessary for character processing, the process advances to S5 to input the input command. Performs character processing corresponding to .

In the index item table automatic item input process in S4, first, in S1 of FIG. 5, the index items (character strings) in the document memory are
Specify the range. It is set in the index item unit buffer at 82, and input and displayed in the index item window at S3.

Next, enter the furigana of the input index item with 84,
It is set in the index item unit buffer at 85.

Then, the inputted index item unit buffer is stored at 36
to set it to the index item buffer.

In step S7, it is determined whether to input an index item, and if the input of the index item is completed, in step S8, a blank column in the index item table is searched,
The data in the index item buffer is expanded in step 59. SIO determines whether the index item expansion is finished, and if it is finished, S1
1 sorts in alphabetical order based on the furigana column of the index item table. Thereafter, in S1, unused columns (blank columns) in the index item table are deleted.

[Effect] As explained above, according to the present invention, when creating an index of documents (papers, etc.) created in advance by a character processing device, the document data (index items) can be effectively used and the data can be re-entered. will be omitted. Furthermore, index items can now be automatically entered into the index item table without being aware of the index item table.
