Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it unnecessary to execute a setting operation to a soft key, and to simplify an operation by automatically setting a function selected and executed by a user at a function setting key or the like, and operating and executing the function setting key or the like when the same function is executed. CONSTITUTION:The setting of function setting keys SF1-10 is automatically attained by the start of the execution of the functions. When a user presses the soft key SF1, a state to designate a range to be edited is obtained, and the designation of the range is operated by moving a cursor 3a by a cursor movement key 1a. When the range is decided, an execution key 1e is pressed, and a processing is executed. When an edition is continued afterwards, and the execution of the plural functions is operated, the executed functions are successively and automatically set at the soft keys SF2.... Then, the name of the automatically set functions is successively registered and displayed also at soft menu parts SM1.... Then, the cursor display 3a is moved to the function display areas, and the click operation of a mouse is performed, so that the execution of the functions can be attained.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document preparation device. In particular, it relates to a Japanese word processor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A personal computer in which word processor and word processor software is executed has many functions. This function includes centering, search, memory, character modification, prohibition processing, document recall,
Input mode setting, line format, ruled lines, format change, layout display, replacement, abbreviation registration, clear, spreadsheet, etc. As described above, the document creation device has many functions related to display, input, storage, and printing.

If a key is provided corresponding to each of these functions, many keys are required. In order to reduce the number of keys, an ordinary character key is generally used as a key for function execution by keying together with a function execution shift key. However, if the character key is also used as the function execution key, the operation is troublesome.

For this reason, there are some keys provided with a plurality of keys that operate as function execution keys, and the user can arbitrarily set what kind of function execution keys are operated. Hereinafter, this key is referred to as a function setting key. It is to be noted that the one in which the user can arbitrarily set a desired function in this way is disclosed in JP-A-61-75417 (G06F3 / 023) and the like.

[0005] Usually, a user is required to use a function that is frequently used.
This function setting key is set to improve convenience. Hereinafter, executing a function by using the letter key also as a function execution shift key is referred to as normal execution. In addition, executing a function with the function setting key is referred to as skip execution. In this skip execution, the operation / display in the middle is simplified as compared with the normal execution. It should be noted that, in all the functions of this skip execution, the operations and the like are not simplified, but they are called in this way to distinguish them from normal execution.

[0006]

However, it is troublesome for a user to set a function to a function setting key or the like for skip execution.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the executed function is automatically set in the function setting keys (SF1 to SF10).

[0008]

In the present invention, the user can select the function executed by
When the function setting keys (SF1 to SF10) are automatically set and the same function is executed, the function setting keys (SF1 to SF10) and the like are operated.

FIG. 4 is a diagram in which the operator moves the cursor (3a) to the beginning of the character string "Title 1" on the editing screen of FIG. In FIG. 5, after the operation of FIG. 4, the operator normally executes the “character decoration” function, and the range of character decoration is moved by moving the cursor.
It is a figure at the time of designation. An underline (HL) display is used to indicate this range. At this time, the display of the soft menu section (SM1 ... SM10) is interrupted.

In FIG. 6, the operator presses the execution key (1e) after FIG.
FIG. 16 is a diagram when the type of character modification is displayed on the menu screen (M) after the key is pressed to set the range of character modification. Figure 7
After the setting of the character modification type (parameter) by the operator pressing the execution key (1e) after FIG. 6, the automatic setting explanation (SB) which is the feature of the present application is displayed. It is a figure of the screen (3) which was opened.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a screen on which the processing of the selected wavy line 2 for character modification is performed after FIG.
In this FIG. 8, the character "character modification" is displayed in the soft menu section (SM1), and thereafter, the soft key (SF1: not shown in FIG. 8) is displayed in "character modification""wavy line 2". Function as a function setting key. FIG. 9 is a cursor (3a) at the beginning of the character string “title 2” in order to process the “squiggly line 2” for the character string “title 2” in FIG. 8 similarly to the character string “title 1”. It is the figure which moved.

FIG. 10 is a diagram after the soft key (SF1) in FIG. 9 is moved and then the cursor is moved to set the range of "character modification". FIG. 11 is a screen after the character modification processing of “Wavy line 2” is performed on the character string “Title 2” which is the designated range by keystroke of the execution key (1e) after FIG. 10. . FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a screen after editing is continued even after FIG. 11 and a plurality of functions are executed. In this way, the soft menu section (SM1 to SM10) displays the executed function, and the soft keys (SF1 ...) are the function setting keys for executing this displayed function. To work as.

FIG. 13 is a screen showing the state of the soft menu section (SM1 to SM10) after executing 10 different editing functions. FIG. 14 shows the soft menu section (SM1 to SM1 after execution of a different function after FIG. 13).
It is a screen showing the state of (SM10). At this time, the word processor selects the least frequently used function from the functions displayed in the soft menu section (SM1 to SM10), and sets the function executed this time in place of the less frequently used function. In Fig. 14, the function of the soft key (SF3) is changed from "centering" to "quadruple" and the display of the soft menu (SM3) is also changed.

15 to 18 show the program of this word processor. FIG. 15 is a main part of the program relating to the present application. Figure 16 shows the steps of this Figure 15 program.
7 (S7) subroutine is shown. Figure 17
The subroutine of step 13 (S13) of the program is shown.

FIG. 18 shows step 15 (S
It shows the subroutine of 15). The operation of this word processor is shown below in Figure 1 ~
This will be described with reference to FIG. When character modification is performed on the character string "Title 1" on the screen of FIG. 3, the user uses the cursor movement key (1a) to move the cursor (3a) to the beginning of the character string "Title 1" as shown in FIG. To move.

When performing character modification on the screen of FIG. 4, the user simultaneously inputs the first function-execution shift key (1c) and the character key (1b) corresponding to the character modification function. As a result, the range to be edited is designated, and the cursor (3a) is moved by the cursor movement key (1a) to designate the range. This range is underlined as shown in Fig. 5.
(HL) is displayed. When the range is decided, press the execute key (1e).

Next, the parameters shown in FIG. 6 (modification type)
The selection menu (M) is displayed. Here, the user moves the cursor (3a) to the star position of "wavy line 2" which is the desired modification type with the cursor movement key (1a). Then, by pressing the execution key (1e) to determine, the character modification process is executed using the selected content "wavy line 2".

By executing this character modification processing, automatic setting processing of the "character modification" function to the function setting key (SF1) is performed. Then, if this automatic setting is the first registration after the power is turned on, the explanation (SB) of this automatic registration is as shown in FIG.
It is displayed until the execution key (1e) is pressed. And
As shown in FIG. 8, the character string "Title 1" is decorated with the wavy line 2, and the function name "Character decoration" is displayed in the soft menu section (SM1) at the bottom of the screen. At this time, in order to inform the user that the function setting has been made to the soft key (SF1), the soft menu section (SM1) of this "character modification" is displayed.
The black and white inversion display is repeated for several seconds and blinks.

Next, it will be explained that the same character modification as this is performed on another character string "Title 2" by executing the skip. The user moves the cursor movement key (1
Use a) to move the cursor (3
Move a). When performing the character modification of "Wavy line 2" on this character string "Title 2", the user presses the soft key (SF1).

As a result, the range to be edited is designated, and the cursor (3a) is moved by the cursor movement key (1a) to designate the range as shown in FIG. This range is
Underline (HL) is displayed. Once the range is decided,
Press the Enter key (1e). By hitting this execution key (1e),
The character modification process of "Wavy line 2" is executed. As a result, the screen looks like Fig. 11.

In executing the character modification skip,
This means that the display of the parameter (modification type) selection menu (M) shown in FIG. 6 is omitted. Note that the display of the menu (M) screen and the operation of selecting the character modification type were omitted in this skipping of character modification, but for example, with the "centering" and "right-justify" functions, the menu display was started from the beginning. Therefore, the omission of the display of this menu screen is not always performed.

After this, when editing is continued and a plurality of functions are executed, the executed functions are automatically set to the soft key (SF2 ...) In sequence. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, the automatically set function names are sequentially registered and displayed in the soft menu section (SM1 to). Then, after the execution of 10 different editing functions, it becomes as shown in FIG. If a different function is executed after this Fig. 13, soft keys (SF1
.... Since there is no SF10), soft key (SF
1 ... Cancel the set function of SF10) and set this new function. That is, the function of the soft key (SF3) is changed from "centering" in FIG. 13 to "quadruple angle" in FIG.

At this time, of course, the soft menu section (S
A blinking display of (M3) is performed to inform the user that the setting function of the soft key (SF3) has been changed. Figure 15 ~
The operations of normal execution and skip execution of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When executing a function with the word processor of this embodiment, the shift key for function execution is used.
(1c, 1d) and character key (1b) to perform normal execution,
It is possible to select from two methods of performing skip execution.

The operation of these two methods is mainly shown in FIG.
This will be explained with reference to 5. In addition to the above two methods, the soft key (SF1) corresponding to the soft menu (SM1) in which the function name is registered as shown in the explanatory note (SB) of FIG. 7 is used to execute this function. ...) is the first shift key for function execution
It is also possible by inputting together with (1c). The internal operation at this time is the same as the normal execution.

The key type input in step 1 (S1) of FIG. 15 is determined in step 2 (S2). If the determination result is the function execution shift key (1c, 1d) and the character key (1b), the function name corresponding to the character key (1b) is set as the function to be executed in step 3a (S3a). The judgment result in step 2 (S2) is the soft key
If it is (SF1 ...), the function name already set in this soft key (SF1 ...) Is set as the function to be executed in step 3 (S3).

At step 4 (S4), whether it is a combination input with the first shift key for function execution (1c) or the soft key (SF
1) The execution method is determined by whether it is a single input. In the former case, in step 5 (S5), the normal execution is notified, and in the latter case, the skip execution is notified in step 6 (S6). In this way, the execution method is determined by key input, the notification processing is performed, and then the function execution processing of step 7 (S7) is performed according to the notification.

The case where the character modification is skipped will be described below with reference to FIGS. 15 and 9. Figure 9
If only the soft key (SF1) is typed in
It is determined in step 2 (S2) that only the soft key (SF1) is input in step 1 (S1).

In step 3 (S3), this soft key
Set the "character modification" that is the editing function code registered in the soft menu section (SM1) corresponding to (SF1). In step 4 (S4), the execution method is determined to be skip execution. In step 6 (S6), notification processing of this execution method is performed. By this notification, skip execution processing of the "character modification" function is performed in step 7 (S7).

The operation of step 7 (S7) will be described with reference to FIG. In step 7 (S7), first, in step 11 (S11), the user uses the cursor movement key (1a) to specify the edit target range as shown in FIG. Step 12 (S
In 12), it is confirmed that this range designation has been completed by the execution key (1e), and the parameter selection menu display section of step 13 (S13) is entered.

However, in step 13 (S13), since the skip execution setting is made in step 6 (S6), the menu screen (M) of FIG. 6 is not displayed as in the normal execution. Therefore, the process is not interrupted by the user here, and the process is automatically determined to be executed in step 14 (S14). In the case of skip execution, since the contents (wavy line 2) selected in the previous normal execution are used for parameters such as character modification type, the user does not need to make a selection regarding this.

That is, the parameters such as the character modification type are
Contents selected in the previous normal execution from step 13 (S13)
(Wavy line 2) is notified, and the editing function of step 15 (S15) is executed using this. Further, in the case of skip execution, since the function registration to the soft menu part has already been performed, the process in step 16 (S16) is not performed again, and the process ends as shown in the screen of FIG.

Here, the processing performed in step 13 (S13) of FIG. 13 during normal execution and skip execution will be described with reference to FIG. First, step 20 (S
In step 20), the parameter "character modification type" when the same function "character modification" was executed last time is acquired, "Wavy line 2". If this is the first time to use this function, the initially set parameters are acquired.

Next, the execution method notified in step 5 (S5) or step 6 (S6) of FIG.
Determined in (S21). If the result of this determination is normal execution, then in step 22 (S22) a menu (M) for parameter selection is displayed. Here, the user makes a selection and setting by the key input in step 23 (S23), and the execution key
If it is confirmed in step 24 (S24) that the character modification type that is the parameter has been determined by the input of (1e), the selection / setting contents are registered in place of the parameter acquired in step 20 (S20). It In addition, the content of the parameter is used in the execution of the editing function process, and is notified in step 27 (S27).

However, if the user inputs the cancel key (1f) in step 23 (S23) and interrupts the selection / setting of parameters, this is determined in step 24 (S24), and the function execution processing is performed. The interruption of is notified in step 25 (S25). This is the process performed in the case of normal execution. On the other hand, in step 21 (S21) of FIG. 17, when the determination result of the execution method is skip execution, the content of the parameter acquired in step 20 (S20) is used in step 28 (S2).
Register according to 8). Then, the contents are notified in step 27 (S27) for the processing of executing the editing function.

Next, the soft menu registration will be described with reference to FIG. 18, which is a flow chart relating to the function registration in the soft menu section during normal execution. In step 30 (S30) of FIG. 18, it is determined whether the same function exists in the registered software menu. If it exists, the registration process is not performed. After automatically setting "Wavy line 2" as the function of "Character decoration", if you execute "Underline" of "Character decoration" in normal execution, at this time, the soft key corresponding to "Character decoration" is
The key for executing "character decoration" is the same, but when executing this "character decoration", the parameter for determining the character decoration type is changed from "wavy line 2" to "underline".

Therefore, the user feels that the function setting key of "character modification: wavy line 2" has been changed to the function setting key of "character modification: underline". On the other hand, step 30 (S
If it is determined in 30) that there is no existing registered software menu, the unregistered software menu is searched in order from the left side of the screen in step 31 (S31).

As a result, if there is an unregistered soft menu section (SM5 ...) As shown in the screen of FIG. 12, in step 33 (S33), the function currently being processed is registered at that position. To do. However, in the case of the screen shown in FIG. 13, it is determined in step 31 (S31) that there is no unregistered menu. In this case, in step 32 (S32),
The frequency of use of all soft menus is checked, and a menu position with low frequency of use is requested.

At step 33 (S33), the function name currently being processed is registered and updated for the menu position obtained here. As an example of the result, soft menu section (SM3)
FIG. 14 shows the case where the function name of is updated. still,
In the skip execution of the above embodiment, the contents of parameters such as the character modification type cannot be changed. Therefore, when changing the character modification type of this character modification function, execute this character modification function normally and then use the menu for the parameter.
It is updated by selecting the desired character decoration type in (M).

FIG. 19 shows the "character modification" of the editing function.
It shows how the parameter registration contents are updated by normal execution. That is, in the example of FIG. 19, first,
By the normal execution of character decoration, "shading" is selected and executed as the character decoration type. Next, the character is modified by executing skip. At this time, the character modification type is automatically "shaded". Similarly, skip execution is performed.

Next, "underline" is selected and executed as the character modification type by the normal execution of character modification. As a result, the parameter is changed from "shaded" to "underlined". further,
Character modification is performed by skip execution. At this time, the character modification type is automatically "underlined". Next, "reverse" is selected and executed as the character modification type by the normal execution of character modification.
As a result, the parameter is changed from "underline" to "reverse". Further, character modification is performed by skip execution. At this time, the character modification type is automatically “reverse”.

In the above embodiment, the soft menu section (S
The operation when displaying (M1 ... SM10) was explained, but the display switching key
When the soft menu is not displayed in (1g), of course, even if the soft key (SM1 ... SM10) is keyed, skip execution is not performed. However, even when the soft menu is not displayed, the setting operation shown in FIG. 18 is performed.

In this embodiment, as described above, the automatic setting operation shown in FIG. 18 is performed even when the soft menu section is not displayed. The automatic setting operation may not be performed.
Further, in the present embodiment, the description (SB) is displayed only at the first automatic setting after the power is turned on. However, this is because, for example, if this word processor can change the level of detail of the explanation on the help screen, depending on the change of this level of detail, the explanation text (SB) is also displayed at the first automatic setting after this change. May be displayed. Also, after this detail level is up,
The explanation text (SB) may be displayed even at the first automatic setting. This means that it is highly likely that the user has been changed because the level of detail changes
(SB) is displayed.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is easy to operate that the function execution first shift key (1c) and the soft keys (SF1 ... It is to measure the change. That is, the user can save the trouble of searching for a key having a desired function from the character keys (1b). Also, in the above embodiment, soft keys (SF1 ... SF10)
Although all are automatically set, any number of keys may be manually set as in the conventional case and the rest may be automatically set. This manually set soft key is, of course, excluded from the setting change of the function by the automatic setting. The fact that the function of the soft key does not change in this way is hereinafter referred to as fixing the function.

When fixing the functions of the soft keys (SF1, ..., SF10) as described above, manual setting may be performed from the beginning as described above. In addition, the soft key (S
After setting the function of (F1 ... SF10), press the second shift key (1d) for function execution, and then press the soft key whose function you want to fix, so that the function of this soft key is fixed. You may

Further, in order to inform the user of the soft key having the fixed function as described above, the frame line of the soft menu part of the soft key having the fixed function is displayed thickly or the soft key in the soft menu part is displayed. May be shaded. Further, in the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the “underline” of “character modification” and the “wavy line 2” of “character modification” have different parameters with the same “character modification” function. But, of course, this is
It may be defined as a completely different function of "character modified underline" and "character modified wavy line 2".

As described above, as another function, a plurality of "character modification" functions such as "character modification: underline" and "character modification: wavy line 2" can be set. Further, in the above embodiment, when setting the range of “character modification”, the pre-cursor cursor (3a) is moved to the head position and then the function is executed. However, this may be performed by executing the function and then setting the start position.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the eleventh function is automatically set, the eleventh function is set by discarding the less frequently used function. However, this sets not only the frequency of use but also the degree of importance according to each function.
The function to be discarded may be determined based on this importance. Alternatively, both the importance and the frequency of use may be set. Further, in the above embodiment, when the 11th function is used,
Of the 10 functions that have already been set, the usage frequency is 10
The eleventh function is set by canceling the second function. However, this causes inconvenience when the canceled 10th function is used more frequently than the 11th function. Therefore, the setting to the soft key is
Although the number is 10, the frequency of use may be counted by 15 functions, which are larger than the number of keys, and the top 10 functions may be registered in the softkey.

That is, a plurality of functions to be executed may be weighted according to the frequency of use and the degree of importance thereof, and a function having a large weight may be set to the plurality of function setting keys (SF1 to SF10). Further, in the above embodiment, FIG.
As described in step 30 (S30) of No., if the same function exists in the registered software menu, the registration process is not performed, but this may be registered. Even if they are registered, the same functions are registered, so they are substantially the same.

Further, such soft key setting data may be automatically stored at the same time when the document data is stored in the FD (floppy disk). With this configuration, the soft key is automatically set when the document data is read from the FD. It should be noted that the storage area for the setting data of the soft key of the FD may be provided one for each document or one for each FD. Ideally, it should be provided in correspondence with the former document, but since the user usually creates and uses the FD for each field, even if there is only one in the latter FD, there is not much problem.
Does not happen.

That is, the function setting key (SF1 to SF10) is written with the writing means for writing the data of the function automatically set in the separate FD and the function setting key by the data read from this FD. The functions (SF1 to SF10) may be set. Further, in the embodiment, a keyboard-type word processor for inputting by pressing a key is given as an example, but the present application is also applicable to a type for inputting with a mouse. In other words, there is a function display area where the function name called menu is displayed on the screen, move the cursor display with the mouse in this function display area, and click the mouse button on the function name you want to execute. Therefore, it can be applied to a type that executes a function.

That is, the function thus executed is automatically set in the function display area, the cursor display is moved to the function display area, and the mouse is clicked to execute the function. To do. A function display area in which this function is automatically set is called a function setting area.
The function setting area that is automatically set is
The area may be displayed in a different area, and the separate area may be provided with one area for each function, or the area display may be always displayed according to the mode change.

Further, in the present application, both mouse input and keyboard input may be possible. That is, the function executed by the mouse may be automatically set in the function setting key, or the function executed by the key operation may be set in the function setting area and skipped by the mouse. Also,
In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the soft menu section can be displayed even when no soft key is registered.
However, in order to avoid misunderstanding by the user, the soft menu section may not be displayed when no single soft key is registered. Further, in this way, when the setting is made, when the function is executed for the first time, the automatically set display mode of the soft menu section may be set.

In the embodiment, the function is automatically set when the function execution is finished, but the function may be automatically set when the function execution is started. In other words, once the execution of the function is started, the automatic setting may be made even if the function is canceled halfway. Alternatively, the automatic setting may be performed by substantially executing the function. In other words, even if an operation instruction to execute the "centering" function is made on a line where a character string does not exist, it is substantially the same as not performing it. Therefore, in this case, the automatic setting may not be performed.

FIG. 20 is a second hardware view of the present application.
