Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a composite character editing processing method, particularly a composition in which a plurality of other characters, etc. are inserted in a reduced form into a character or symbol (hereinafter referred to as character). This invention relates to a composite character editing processing method that automatically generates characters.

(Problems to be solved by conventional technology and the invention) When creating a text, it is necessary to create a composite character by inserting two or three characters into a character to make the created text easier to read or from a design perspective. is being carried out. For example, if you want to write a composite character "" in which the number "1" and the number "2" are inserted in a reduced form in the character (symbol) "○", if there is a character pattern that has already been created, use that character pattern. All you have to do is print it out. However, if it becomes necessary to create a composite character whose font is Mincho or italic, etc., it is necessary to prepare composite character patterns that correspond to all the fonts, etc. That is difficult.

Conventionally, when creating a composite character by inserting, for example, two characters in a reduced form into a character, the area where the characters are written is divided into two areas, and the first reduced character is inserted into the first divided area. , place the second reduced character in the second divided area, and create the desired composite character by individually specifying that the font of the reduced character should be a Gothic character. The need arose. In this way, in order to create a composite character, it is necessary to instruct the shape, font, insertion position, etc. of the inserted character in a reduced form each time, which makes the instructions complicated and leads to mistakes. The problem was that it was easy to do.

(Means for solving the problems) The present invention aims to solve the above problems,
When creating a composite character, the number of inserted characters to be inserted in a reduced form is counted, and based on the counting results, the size, position, etc. of the inserted characters to be inserted are determined in a form corresponding to the key-input instructions. By adopting a configuration in which the desired composite characters are automatically calculated and edited, it is possible to edit the composite characters quickly and without errors. Therefore, in the composite character editing processing method of the present invention, an insertion character to be inserted into other characters by changing the character shape of a plurality of characters and an inserted character into which the insertion character is inserted are prepared, and the insertion character A composite character editing processing method for composing the inserted character and the inserted character includes a text table storing the inserted character and a plurality of inserted characters respectively in the form of character codes, and reading out the character codes stored in the text table. a composite character counter that counts the number of characters to be composited, a character substitution table that stores information about the shape of the inserted character stored in the text table, and a composite character counter that counts the number of characters to be composited; an n-character substitution table that stores information about the shape of inserted characters stored in the text table based on the number of characters; and a character code corresponding to the inserted character retrieved from the character substitution table. and a text character table storing character codes corresponding to inserted characters retrieved from the n-character replacement table, and a desired composite character is synthesized based on the character codes stored in the text character table. There is.

(Example) The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

And it is for storing. The illustrated layout creation section 2 is for inputting and storing various editing information necessary for editing composite characters, which will be described later. The illustration editing processing section 3 is for editing desired composite characters based on the various characters and information stored in the data entry 1 and the layout creation section 2. Therefore,
By inputting the characters, fonts, etc. necessary to create a desired composite character from the data entry 1 and layout creation section 2, the editing processing section 3 edits the desired composite character and displays it on a display (not shown). Alternatively, it can be printed using a printer.

FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, and the diagram also includes data stored in various tables necessary for editing a composite character in which two characters are inserted in a reduced form, etc., into a character, which will be described later. The data arrangement, etc. to be performed are also specifically described.

The text table 4 in the figure is provided in the illustrated data entry 1 in FIG. ) etc.

The composite character change table 5 in the figure is provided in the illustrated layout creation section 2 in FIG. 2, and is used to store information necessary for editing composite characters.

A composite character counter 6 in the figure is a counter for counting the number of characters stored in the text table 4 to be composited. By searching an n-character substitution table 9, which will be described later, based on the counted number of characters, the size of the characters to be automatically synthesized is determined.

A register 7 in the figure is used to temporarily store the character code stored in the text table 4.

The character substitution table 8 in the figure is for storing a predetermined character code corresponding to the character to be inserted (character code 1 in the figure).

The n-character substitution table 9 in the figure is for storing various character codes corresponding to the number of characters counted by the composite character counter 6 for character codes 2, etc. stored in the register 7. . That is, as will be described later, for those corresponding to character codes 2 and 3 stored in the register 7, illustrated left justified character code 2, right justified character code 2, illustrated left justified character code 3,
This is for storing them in the form of right-justified character code 3, etc.

The text character table 10 in the figure is a character code (for obtaining a composite character) obtained by searching the character substitution table 8 and the n-character substitution table 9 based on the value to be synthesized counted by the composition character counter 6. This is used to store the left-justified character code required above). For example, as shown in the figure, character code 1 (inserted character), left-justified character code 2
(inserted character) and right-aligned character code 3 (inserted character) and stored in association with each other.

In FIG. 3, by storing the characters and control signals indicated by a to e in the illustrated text table 4 in FIG.
Composite characters of the form are automatically obtained. Hereinafter, the operation of one embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

Characters and control signals indicated using letters a to e in FIG. 3 are stored in the illustrated text table 4 in FIG. 1 at positions a to e, respectively. When the illustration a composition start function stored in the text table 4 is detected, the illustration b character codes 1 to illustration d stored between the illustration a composition character start function and the illustration e composition end function are detected. The character codes 3 are read out and stored in the register 7 in the same manner as shown in FIG. It is counted by . On this occasion,
Illustrated b character code 1 stored in text table 4 (character to be inserted, for example, “○” mentioned above)
The composite character change table 5 that stores information such as the change rate (reduction rate), character shape, deformation rate, etc. of the characters (inserted characters, such as the above-mentioned "1" and "2") stored next to the character is searched. be done. Based on the retrieved information, the font etc. of characters to be inserted after reduction etc., which will be described later, are determined.

First, character code 1 corresponding to the inserted character “○” is read out from the register 7 in which character codes 1 to 3 are stored, and an appropriate shape etc. of the inserted character “○” is specified. The character code to be read is read from the character substitution table 8.
The read f-character code 1 is stored at the position of the g-character code 1 in the text character table 10.

Second, character codes in an appropriate form for compositing character codes 2 and 3 corresponding to insertion characters “1” and “2” to be inserted in reduced form, etc. are obtained from the n-character substitution table 9. are searched respectively. At this time, based on the number of character codes "3" counted by the composite character counter 6, it was found that the number of inserted characters was 2,
A predetermined area of the n-character substitution table 9 in which left-justified and right-justified character codes are stored is searched.
That is, first read the character code 2 stored in the register 7, and when there are two character codes in the n character substitution table 9, read the left-justified character code 2 stored following the h character code 2 shown in the figure. Then, the left-justified character code 2 is read out from the right-justified character code 2. The read left-justified character code 2 is stored in the position of left-justified character code 2 of i in the text character table 10. Next, in the same manner, the character code 3 stored in the register 7 is read out, and the left-justified character code 3 and the right-justified character code 3 stored following the illustrated j character code in the n-character substitution table 9 are read. Read the right-justified character code 3 from within. The read right-justified character code 3 is stored in the position of the right-justified character code 3 shown in the figure in the text character table 10.

Editing is performed based on the character code 1, left-justified character code 2, right-justified character code 3 stored in the text character table 10 in this way, and the editing information such as change rate, shape, deformation rate, etc. stored in the composite character change table 5. The processing unit 3 edits the composite character in the form of "" shown on the right side of the third figure. In this editing, a composite character is generated by sequentially reading character codes 1, etc. from the text character table 10 and superimposing them on, for example, one map memory.

In FIG. 4, "input characters" in the column indicate characters input from data entry 1 in the form shown by b to d in FIG. 3, as described above.

The “input character code” in the column is the text/code mentioned above.
An example corresponding to illustrated b character code 1 to illustrated c character code 3 stored in table 4 will be shown.

"Character shape and arrangement" in the column indicates the state in which the character substitution table 8 and the n-character substitution table 9 are searched based on the number counted by the above-mentioned composite character counter 6. That is, for the inserted character "○", a search is made for a character having the same shape as the input character. For the inserted characters "1" and "2", the reduced left-justified character 1" and right-justified character 2" are searched for, respectively, as shown in the figure.

The "replacement character code" in the column indicates what is stored in the illustrated text character table 10 in FIG. Character code “127” retrieved from table 9,
“A11” and “B22” are shown.

A case in which four characters are input will be explained using FIGS. 5 to 7. When inputting these four characters, it is necessary to secure an area for storing the four characters in the text table 4 shown in FIG. 1, the text character table 10, the n-character substitution table 9, etc.

In FIG. 5, "composition start" as shown
When the input signals “○”, “1”, “2”, “3” and “synthesis end” are input sequentially from data entry 1, the text table 4 shown in FIG. They are stored sequentially as follows.

The character codes 1 to 4 stored as shown in FIG. 6 are stored in the form of "127" or the like as described in the input character code column shown in FIG. 7. Then, the character code 1 of the inserted character is stored in the text character table 10 in the form of a replacement character code "127". In addition, the character code of the inserted character to be inserted in a reduced form, etc. is divided into three as shown in Figure 7, in the form of a left-justified character code, a center-justified character code, and a right-justified character code, and the replacement character code "A111", "B222" ” and “C333” in the text character table 10. Character code 1, left-justified character code 2, center-justified character code 3, stored in the text character table 10 in this way,
A composite character as shown on the right side of FIG. 5 is edited based on the right-justified character code 4 and the change rate (reduction rate), shape, deformation rate, etc. stored in the composite character change table 5.

In FIG. 8, the company name (l) shown in the figure is written in Mincho font, and the telephone number (m) shown in the illustration is written in Gothic font. Advertisements may be published in magazines, etc. In this case, the editing processing unit 3 changes the text character table 1 using information regarding the illustrated shape and the font of the characters such as the change rate in the illustrated composite character change table 5 shown in FIG.
Write the character code read from 0.

Incidentally, in order to create a pattern of reduced characters stored in the text character table 10, such as left-justified character code 2, etc., thinning processing, enlargement processing, movement processing, etc. are performed as known. Just generate it.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, when creating a composite character, the number of characters to be composited is counted, and the size of the character to be inserted is determined based on the counting result etc.
After calculating the position etc. and converting it into the form of a predetermined character code, the desired composite character is edited using the character code, so the desired composite character can be automatically edited quickly and without errors. can. Furthermore, since characters can be easily synthesized, it is possible to reduce the burden on the operator, which in turn leads to a reduction in costs.
