Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device that creates a document using, for example, a keyboard, a pointing device, or the like as an input means.

[Prior art] When a user wants to input a certain character string many times, it is extremely inefficient for the user to repeatedly input the same character string over and over again. Possible character strings are stored in advance in a document processing device, and the next time the user wants to input the same character string, instead of going out of his way to input it, a method is used in which a command is specified and inputted.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in the conventional example, an identifier (name) is not required to store only one character string, but to store multiple character strings, the character string to be stored must be In addition to specifying, in order to distinguish between multiple strings, you must enter an identifier (name) for each string.
This is a major factor in reducing efficiency.

In view of this problem, the present invention aims to provide a document processing device that, when a user specifies a character string to be stored, automatically stores the character string using some characters of the character string as an identifier. be.

[Means for Solving the Problem] A document processing device of the present invention that solves this problem is a document processing device that creates and outputs a document based on an instruction input from an input device. , a character string specifying means for specifying a character string to be stored from among the character data developed on the display device, and an identifier generating means for generating an identifier for the character string using a part of the specified character string. It is characterized by comprising:

The document processing device further includes output means for visually displaying the plurality of identifiers generated by the identifier generation means, and an identifier selection means for selecting one of the visually displayed identifiers, and a selection by the identifier selection means. display means for displaying a character string corresponding to the identified identifier.

The apparatus also includes arithmetic means for checking the already registered identifiers at the time of registering the identifier and assigning a difference to the identifier to be registered.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Explanation of the configuration (Figures 1 and 2) FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a document processing apparatus according to this embodiment.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an input unit that accepts input of characters and various commands instructed by the user. 2 is a storage unit that stores data and commands from the input unit l and the memory 21b in advance.
Temporarily stores the character string data stored in . Reference numeral 3 denotes an identifier generation unit that generates an identifier for a character string based on the character data stored in the storage unit 2 and a user's instruction command.

Both the identifier display section 4 and the display section 5 display data in the VRAM 6 based on character data and commands received from the storage section 2.
Figures, characters, etc. are displayed on the CRT7 through the CRT7.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a specific configuration of the document processing apparatus shown in FIG. 1.

In the figure, 21 is a control unit that controls the system, and MPU21
a, an internal memory (RAM, ROM, etc.) 21b, an external memory such as a hard disk 21C, a floppy disk 21d, a cartridge disk 21e, etc. The MPTJ21a is the input section 1. Identifier generation unit 3. The identifier display section 41 also serves as the display section 5, and the internal memory 2
1b serves as the storage section 2. Reference numeral 22 denotes an output section, which includes a high-speed printer 22a such as a laser beam printer that records an image on a recording material based on information converted into an electrical signal, an interface circuit 22b, and the like. Reference numeral 23 denotes an image memory that can store image information developed in the VRAM 6, and when the output section 22 accesses this image memory 23, the image information is read out. A BMU 24 controls rotation, movement, etc. of image data.

Details of the embodiment of the present invention will be further explained with reference to FIG.

The character string storage memory 30 is provided as a part of the internal memory 21b, and storage information designated from the input screen shown in FIG. 5 is recorded therein so as to be accessible from the storage character string list table 31. The storage information is assumed to be 30-1 to 30-n.

31 is a stored character string table corresponding to the stored character string list of the window on the screen;
It consists of an address part 32 corresponding to the display position of 1) to (n), a character string storage part 33 that stores the first few characters of a character string, and a pointer part 34 that points to a character string storage memory.

Next, an example of control and operation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. While inputting a document on the screen shown in FIG. If specified (S41), the command "Save r character string" is executed (step S42, see FIG. 5). Then, the identifier generation unit 3 generates a predetermined number of characters from the beginning of the specified character string (the highlighted part) as an identifier for the character string (S43). If a small to compact laser printer such as a small to compact laser printer is specified, the first part of the character string up to ``a small computer that can sit on a desk'' is stored in the character string storage section 33 of the stored character string list table 31. Ru. 0 character string storage section 33 in which the address of the character string storage memory is recorded in the pointer section 34
If the same identifier as the one generated in is stored,
Since it has no meaning as an identifier, it is checked in S44 whether the same identifier exists. Since the calculation is performed so that there are no identical identifiers, in the case of the example, "
The generated identifier is stored together with the character string, and is displayed at the bottom of the window 50 of the display device (S46. (See Figure 5).

To re-enter a saved string, select the string you want to input with the cursor, the string will be highlighted, and if you press the execute key after confirmation, it will be read from the string storage memory and displayed on the screen being created. Move to.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, when the user specifies a character string that he or she wants to memorize, the character string is automatically memorized using some of the characters as identifiers, which reduces the input frequency. It becomes easy to temporarily store high-quality character strings, and it becomes possible to improve input efficiency.
