Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit the time and the labor needed for the control codes in a document input state by modifying a specific character string without inserting any control code into a document. CONSTITUTION:A control part 1 serves as a CPU which carries out the programs and also gives general control to a modifying character designating means 1a which can designate a character string to be modified when the print conditions are set, a designated modifying character retrieving means 1b which retrieves the designated character string, and a modification code setting means 1c which sets the corresponding modification codes. When a print image 5 is evolved out of a print buffer 7, the data are read out of the buffer 7 and however the specific characters included in sentences and the emphasizing control codes are not stored in a document buffer 10. Therefore a half-size space is never included in a control code part even after printing unlike a conventional case. Thus it is possible to modify he character strings without inserting any control code into the sentences when the characters are emphasized or the character faces are changed.

Is a display buffer for storing display data, 77 is a printing buffer for storing print data, 78 is a data read buffer for temporarily reading data from the document buffer, and 79 is for printing buffer 77. It is a font table that is referred to when data is read and the print image 75 is developed. A document buffer 80 stores document data. Reference numeral 73 is a CRT of a display device, which may be an LCD or the like, and 74 is a printer such as a thermal printer or an inkjet printer.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of a conventional device. When the print image 75 is expanded from the print buffer 77, data is read from the print buffer 77, but the control code “▲” for emphasizing “se” in the sentence is already input to the document buffer 80. The code is directly passed through the data read buffer 78 and the print buffer 7
7 is transferred, and as a print result, a half-width space is included in the control code portion (the position of “▲” in the document buffer).

[0005]

As described above, in the past, when a character string was modified (emphasized or typeface changed), a control code was inserted in the document to modify it. There was a half-width space. Therefore, the document may have an extra space, and the layout of the document may be strange.

Further, when only a specific character in a sentence is modified, it is necessary to insert a control code into all the character strings.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, and provides a document creating apparatus provided with a text input means, a display means, and a printing means for printing the display contents. When modifying and printing a specific character string on the display, a modified character specification means for specifying the modified character string when setting the printing conditions and a modified specified character string search for searching the character string specified by the means at the time of printing The document creating apparatus is characterized by having a means and a modification code setting means for setting a corresponding modification code with respect to the searched modification designated character.

[0008]

With the above arrangement, according to the document creating apparatus of the present invention, the specific character string can be modified without inserting the control code into the document, and the labor of inputting the control code at the time of inputting the document can be saved. .

Further, when modifying the same character string, it is not necessary to insert the control code into the document many times. Further, since the control code takes up a space of one-byte, it is possible to prevent the extra space from entering.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details will be described below based on the embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings. Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to these examples.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the device of the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 is a control unit, which is a central processing unit (CPU) for executing a program. Reference numeral 2 is a keyboard of the input device, but a combination of an input pen and a tablet may be used. 6 is a display buffer for storing display data,
Reference numeral 7 is a print buffer for storing print data, 8 is a data read buffer for reading data from the document buffer and temporarily storing the data, and 9 is referenced when reading data from the print buffer and expanding the print image 5. It is a font table. Reference numeral 10 is a document buffer for storing document data. A CRT 3 is a display device, which may be an LCD or the like. Reference numeral 4 is a printer such as a thermal printer or an inkjet printer. The control unit 1 includes a modified character designating unit 1a for designating a modified character string when setting printing conditions, a modified designated character searching unit 1b for searching a designated character string, and a modified code setting unit 1c for setting a corresponding modified code. And control over.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

When the print image 5 is developed from the print buffer 7, the data is read from the print buffer 7, but the document buffer 10 has no control code for emphasizing "se" in the sentence. Therefore, even after printing, a half-width space is not included in the control code portion as in the conventional case.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, showing an outline of a print setting section. Here, a method of emphasizing a character string and a setting method are shown, and whether or not to modify is selected in "Print character modification" in the figure. In this example, the character “se” is set to be “emphasized”.
(If "No", setting of character string / decoration is not allowed.) As the character string, a character string of ~ can be selected.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of the embodiment of the present invention, and is a schematic view of forming the print buffer 10 from the data read buffer 8. The data in the data read buffer 8 is transferred to the print buffer 7. At that time, it is checked whether the character string is a modified character string, and if they match, the code of the modified character is inserted and set in the print buffer 7.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of the embodiment of the present invention, showing the development from the print buffer 7 to the print image 5. The data is read from the print buffer 7, the font table 9 corresponding to the character is referred to, and the image data is set in the print image 5. If there is a modification code, the font table 9 of that type is referred to.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the operation of the present invention. In s1, the print settings shown in FIG. 3 are set, and various print conditions are set. In s2, the data in the document buffer 10 is read into the data read buffer 8. s3 asks whether the character string decoration is "necessary" in the print settings.
If "no", the process of s8 is performed. If yes, s
The process moves to step 4 and it is searched whether the specified character string to be modified exists in the read buffer. If there is a character string as a result of the search, an emphasis code is added to the read data and the character string is set in the print buffer 7. These s
The processing from 4 to s6 is performed until the end of the sentence.

In s8 and s9, all the character string data is transferred from the buffer that has read the document data to the print buffer 7, and print data and an image are created. s10
Then, the process of printing the data is performed.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a character is emphasized / typeface changed, the character string and the emphasis / typeface are designated at the time of printing without inserting a control code in the sentence to modify the character string. It becomes possible to do.

Others The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the scope of the invention.

[0022]

According to the document creating apparatus of the present invention, a specific character string can be modified without inserting a control code in a document.
It is possible to save the labor of the control code when inputting the document.

Further, when modifying the same character string, it is not necessary to insert the control code into the document many times. Further, since the control code takes a half-width space, it is possible to prevent the extra space from being inserted during printing.

As described above, it is possible to provide a document creating apparatus having advantages such as excellent operability and being able to create a document that does not feel uncomfortable during printing.
