Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily confirm the code of a character by specifying the character whose code is to be displayed on a display screen, and reading the code of the character and displaying it. CONSTITUTION:This device is equipped with a cursor character data READ part 4 which reads specified character data out of a text buffer 3, a code conversion part 6 which converts data on a character stored in a one-character buffer 5 into a JEF hexadecimal code or code such as a Japanese graphic character code, a code counter 7 which has a constant N and a variable Y and controls the number of codes to be displayed on the screen at a time, a display part 9 such as a CRT display, a font ROM 10 where characters and their codes are stored while made to correspond to each other, and a control part 11. Therefore, a character whose code is to be displayed is specified among displayed characters and then the code of the specified character is read out and displayed at a display part 9. Consequently, the code of the character can easily be known.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a document creation device, and more specifically, it is capable of inputting corresponding characters, symbols, etc. by inputting a character code. Regarding.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, as a method for inputting characters, symbols, nine sentences, etc. (hereinafter referred to as characters) by operating a keyboard, there is a method for inputting the corresponding character by inputting the code of the character ( code input). This method is often used as an effective input method when it is difficult or impossible to input characters using kana manually, or when it is difficult to recall such characters from a dictionary.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, with this type of input, the character code to be used must be memorized or written down, and if this is neglected and the code is forgotten, the same code may be used again. When outputting characters, the corresponding code must be searched from a code list, which causes a problem in that the document creation work is interrupted.

The document creation device of the present invention has been developed in view of these circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device that can easily confirm character codes.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The document creation device of the present invention is a document creation device capable of inputting characters by specifying a character code, and includes a code storage means for storing character codes, and a character code. a text buffer for storing the input characters; a display means for displaying the characters stored in the text buffer; and a character to be displayed as a code from the characters displayed on the display means. a means of specifying;
and control means for reading out the code of the designated character and displaying it on the display means.

(e) Operation In the document creation device of the present invention, by specifying a character on the display screen for which a code is to be displayed, the code of that character is read out and displayed.

(F) Embodiment Next, an embodiment of the document creation device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the document creation device of the present invention.

In the figure, (1) is a code display instruction key (1a), a 9th candidate display instruction key (1b), and a previous candidate display instruction key (l).
c), a keyboard equipped with various keys such as the 10 key (1d), (2) a cursor counter, (3) a text buffer in which the text being created is stored, and (4) a text buffer designated for display. The character data is transferred to the text buffer (3
) cursor character data READ part, (5)
is - a one-character buffer that stores data for one character, (6)
has a variable D$C0DE and a variable T$C0DE, and the above -
JE the character data stored in the character buffer (5)
A code conversion unit that converts into a code such as F hexadecimal code or a kuten number; (7) is a code counter that has a constant N and a variable Y and controls the number of codes displayed on the screen at one time; (8) is a line A counter, (9) a display unit such as a CRT display, (10) a phono ROM that stores characters and their codes in association with each other, and (11) a control unit that controls each of the above units.

Next, the operation will be explained with reference to the display screen diagram in FIG. 2 and the flowchart in FIG. 3. Here, the G! ! An example will be explained in which a code for the word ``1'' is displayed on the screen in order to input the word.

First, as shown in Figure 2B, move the cursor (c) to the character "[:
E! 3i] ” and press the character code display instruction key (1a). When the control unit (11) detects that the code display instruction key (1a) has been pressed (step 1), the cursor Position character data READ section (4)
from the text buffer (3) to the character buffer (5
) is read out (step 2). Next, the data in the one-character buffer (5) is set to the variable T$C0DE in the code converter (6) (step 3), and the code converter (6) sets the variable T
The data set in $C0DH is converted to a code such as a JEF hexadecimal code or a kuten number, and the data is set to variable D$C0D.
is set to E (step 4). As a result, a subwindow (12) is opened on the display screen (step 5), and in the subwindow there are "G", the code of that character, and N adjacent characters and codes (in this example, N=
5) Displayed (see Figure 2C). First, the row counter (
8) is initialized (step 6), the character font corresponding to the character data in the variable T$C0DE and the code in the variable D$C0DE are displayed in the subwindow (12). ) is displayed on the Yth line (step 7), the number of line intersections Y is counted to display on the next line (step 8), and if the number of displayed codes is still less than N (step 9), Variable T$C0DE and variable D$C
0DE and returns to step 10) to step 7. When N characters and codes are displayed, this step is skipped and the key waits for human input (step 11). Here, when the next candidate display instruction key (1b) is pressed (step 12), the process returns to step 6 and processing is performed to display the N characters following the currently displayed character. Furthermore, when the previous candidate display instruction key (1a) is pressed (step 13), the variable T$C0DE and the variable D$C are used to display a character with a code number lower than the currently displayed character.
Step 1: Subtract 10 from each 0DE data
4) Return to step 6. When another key is pressed in step 11, the subwindow (12) is erased and this process is ended.

(G) Effects of the Invention The document creation device of the present invention has the groove bottom as described above, so that it is now possible to easily know the code of a character.
