Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily judge the contents of a document when displaying the list of registered documents by displaying arbitrary characters or character strings suitable for showing the contents of the document in a main sentence together with a document name when displaying the list of the registered documents. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 1 is equipped with a modified character discriminating function 11 to discriminate whether the respective characters in the main sentence of a text are modified characters or not, and a position storing function 13 to store a position on the text displaying a symbol '*' which is not used excepting for the designation of an index word and not outputted when printing the text out. When displaying the list of the document names of the registered documents, the modified characters or the modified character strings attached the prescribed symbol '*' in the character strings in the main sentences of the registered documents are displayed together with the document names. In this way, the operator attaches the prescribed symbol after inputting the characters or character strings of an arbitrary word suitable for showing the contents of the document as the modified characters in the main sentence of the document. Thus, the arbitrary word is displayed together with the document name when displaying the list of registered documents and according to this word, the contents of the document area judged.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a document processing device that inputs information such as characters for creating a document using an operation input means, and stores the document created using the input information. The present invention relates to a document processing device such as an electronic typewriter, a word processor, or a personal computer, which is configured to be registered with a recording device and can be recorded and output by a recording device.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, the above-mentioned document processing devices have been configured to be able to display a list of registered documents, so-called texts, specifically, to display a list of registered text names (document names) of texts. is normal.

When performing a list display, there are many configurations in which only the text name of each registered text is displayed.

However, with this configuration, the content of each text is often unknown to anyone other than the operator who registered the text.
When a large number of texts are registered, the operator who registered them may forget the contents of the texts. In such a case, to check the contents of each text, you must display the main text each time and read it.

Therefore, in order to be able to check the content of each text when displaying a list of texts, the first few characters of the text body along with the text name, or the characters entered by the operator as an annotation indicating the content of the text within a specified number of characters. Some configurations display columns.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned configuration in which the first few characters of the text body are displayed together with the text name when displaying a list, it is often difficult to understand the content of the text from the first few characters.

Further, in a configuration in which a character string of annotation indicating the content of the text is displayed together with the text name, there is a problem in that the operator must think about and input each word or sentence of the annotation separately from the main body of the text, which takes time and effort. Ta.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a document processing device of this type with a configuration that does not require special effort for input operations, and which can display a character string indicating the content of the text along with the text name when displaying a list of registered texts. Our goal is to provide the following.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a document processing device configured to display a list of document names of registered documents as described above using a display means. , when displaying a list of document names of the registered documents, a qualified character or a qualified character string with a predetermined symbol that is determined not to be recorded or output in the character string of the main text of the registered document is added together with the document name. We adopted a configuration that includes a processing means for displaying the information.

[Operation] According to this configuration, the operator inputs a character or character string of any word that he or she deems suitable for indicating the content of the document in the body of the document using the above-mentioned modified characters, and adds the above-mentioned predetermined symbol. By doing so, the arbitrary word mentioned above is displayed together with the document name when a list of registered documents is displayed, and the content of the document can be determined based on this word.

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

First, FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a document processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the symbol l is a CPU (central processing unit) consisting of a microprocessor element, etc.
It executes a control program stored in a program memory (not shown), controls the entire system of the apparatus, and performs various control processes related to document creation, editing, registration, display, recording (printing), etc.

A keyboard 2 serving as operation input means is connected to the CPU 1, and information such as characters for creating text or various instructions is input by operating the large key group 21 of the keyboard 2.

Further, a display 3 configured as, for example, a liquid crystal display is connected to the CPUI, and is capable of displaying input or registered text.

Further, a text memory 4 consisting of an IC memory or a magnetic disk device is connected to the CPUI, so that manually entered text can be registered and saved in the text memory 4.

Furthermore, a printing mechanism 5 such as a thermal type or a daisy-wheel type is connected to the CPU, and the input or registered text is printed (recorded) by the printing mechanism 5.
It is now possible to output.

Then, with the above configuration, it is created manually by keyboard 2,
A list of text names of texts registered in the text memory 4 can be displayed on the display 3.

In this embodiment, the operator specifies a character or character string of an arbitrary word that is suitable for indicating the content of the text in the body of the text to be registered as a heading, and registers it in the text memory 4 along with the text name. When displaying a list of text names, the above-mentioned headings are displayed together with the text names.

In order to achieve this, we promise that characters or character strings for words that are candidates for headings in the main text will be manually created using modified characters that are different from normal characters. FIG. 2 shows an example of a text display in which the imperial edict, which is a candidate for a heading, is manually written in underlined characters. In the example in Figure 2, the text name is "TEXT3: LANGUAGES", and the title is "LANGUAGEs", which is indicated by the numeral 6 at the beginning of the text.
Item names indicated by codes 78 to 7d -ENGLISH'', -F
Assuming that RENCH'', ~ITALIAN'', and ETC'' are entered as underlined characters, and other strings in the text body are entered as normal characters, they become heading candidates in the text body. It is assumed that the character string of a word is input as a modifier character, and the CPU 1 is provided with a modifier character discrimination function 11 by software that determines whether each character in the text body is a modifier character or not. .

The keyboard 2 is also provided with a heading key 22 for the operator to specify a heading word. After the operator moves the cursor to the beginning of the word he wants to use as a heading on the text display screen, he presses the heading key 22. By pressing the button, a -*- symbol, indicated by number 8 in the text display example of FIG. 2, is added to the beginning of the word. In this display example (Ma-ENGL I SH", FRENCH", "ETC"
1*- is added to the beginning of each word to indicate that each word is designated as a heading.

It is assumed that the CPU is provided with the function of adding and displaying the symbol "1*" at the beginning of the heading word in response to the input of the heading key 22, as shown by the reference numeral 12 in FIG. 1.Of course, This depends on the software.

Note that the symbol "*-" here is not used for anything other than specifying the heading word, and although it is displayed on the text display screen as shown in Figure 2, it is not output when the text is printed and is not printed. promise something.

Further, the CPU 1 is provided with a position storage function 13 by software that stores the position on the text where the symbol *" is displayed.

Next, the operation of registering text headings with the above configuration will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows the processing procedure of CPU 1 related to the registration of headings.

When registering a heading, the operator first uses the keys on the keyboard 2 to display the text input in the format shown in FIG. That is, after moving the cursor to the beginning of the word input with the modified characters desired to be used as a heading as described above, the heading key 22 is pressed.

On the other hand, when the entry key 22 is input in step S1 in FIG. The display position of the -*- on the text is stored in memory.

Next, assuming here that the number of headings that can be registered for l text is limited to three, it is checked in step S4 whether or not the heading key 22 has been input three times, and if it is less than three times, the process returns to step S1 and steps S1 to S3 Repeat the process.

After repeating the above process three times, the process proceeds to step S5, and the modified characters or modified character strings that are consecutive at each display position of "*" on the text stored in step S3,
In other words, in the text display example in Figure 2, "ENGLISH
The underlined character strings ``, ~FRENCH'', and ETC'' are determined, and each is stored and registered in the text memory 4 in association with a text name as a heading.

Note that the above-mentioned determination of the modified character string is performed by sequentially reading one character at a time starting from the character immediately after the display position of "*". For example, in the case of "ENGLISH" above, it is first determined whether it is an underlined character such as -E" then N-, and when it is no longer an underlined character (in this case, when it becomes the space next to "H") ), registers the underlined character or character string read so far as a heading.

After registering the heading in this manner, the process shown in FIG. 3 is ended.

With headings registered for each text as described above, when an instruction to display a list of texts is input from the keyboard 2, the CPU 1 displays the registered headings together with the text names as shown in FIG. 4. In this case, the 1 r text (f) registered name-TE shown in the display example in Figure 2
XT3: “ENGL ISH”, “FRENCH”, -E registered in the heading along with “LANGUAGES”
TC- is displayed. When displaying this list, the ~*~ symbol is unnecessary, so it is not displayed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, since the characters or character strings registered as headings are displayed together with the text names when a list of text names is displayed, the content of the text can be determined based on the headings. Moreover, the operator's operation for registering a heading is simply to move the cursor to the heading word on the text display screen and press the heading key 22. This is extremely simple compared to the conventional method where the operator thinks up each annotation word and inputs them separately from the text body.6 Furthermore, considering the display space when displaying a list of text names, the number of characters in one heading is It is best to limit it appropriately. It is also preferable to appropriately limit the number of headings that can be registered for l-text, but it is of course not limited to the three in the embodiment.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, in a document processing device configured such that a display means can display a list of document names of documents registered as described above, When displaying a list of document names of the registered documents, display a qualified character or a qualified character string with a predetermined symbol determined not to be recorded or output in the character string of the main body of the registered document along with the document name. Since we have adopted a configuration that includes a processing means, the operator can input characters or character strings of arbitrary words in the body of the document that he or she thinks are suitable for indicating the content of the document, using the above-mentioned modified characters, and add the above-mentioned predetermined symbols. If this is done, the arbitrary word mentioned above will be displayed together with the document name when a list of registered documents is displayed, and the content of the document can be determined from this word. That is, an excellent effect can be obtained in that it becomes easier to judge the content of a document when a list of registered documents is displayed without requiring special effort for manual operation.
