Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] When inputting the same level of heading many times, if the format information is set by associating with the first heading, the heading of the same level after the second heading is usually used. Just type it exactly and it will automatically set the corresponding format. [Configuration] The CPU 1 collates the input document data with the contents of the headline pattern memory 2-3. When the input document data is a heading document corresponding to the heading pattern, the CPU 1 determines whether the heading document of the same pattern is already input in the text memory 3-2. When the same pattern is already input, the CPU 1 calls it from the format information text memory 3-2 corresponding to the document, and sets the copy to the corresponding position of the headline document input to the text memory 3-2 this time.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document data processing apparatus such as a word processor, and more particularly to a document data format setting method for setting format information in a text memory in association with input document data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a word processor or the like, when inputting document data itemized by heading items such as "Chapter 1" and "First item", a heading of a higher item and a heading of a lower item are input. In order to emphasize the difference, in addition to the body format, a format dedicated to upper items and a format dedicated to lower items are set. As a result, format information such as character size, typeface, and decoration is set every time a heading document is input.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
Even if you enter a heading for a higher-level item (heading at the same level) such as "Chapter" or "Chapter 2", you have to set the same format information many times, which is very troublesome and difficult to set. There was a risk of mistakes. Therefore, conventionally, there is also known a word processor having a function of registering the format information of the heading document in advance and calling it as needed, but this kind of thing is temporarily interrupted the document creation and called "call". However, it was not satisfactory in terms of work efficiency. An object of the present invention is to, when inputting a heading of the same level many times, set the format information in association with the first heading and input the heading of the same level after the second time as usual. It is to be able to set the corresponding format automatically just by doing.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problem and Its Action The means of the present invention and its action are as follows. In a document data processing device that sets the format information in a text memory in association with input document data, the input document data is collated with a preset heading pattern, and the input document data is converted into a heading pattern. If it is a heading document corresponding to, it is determined whether or not the heading document of the same pattern is already input in the text memory,
If a heading document with the same pattern is not entered in the text memory, the format information of the heading document input this time is set in the text memory in association with the heading document, and the heading document with the same pattern is set in the text memory. If it has already been input into the text memory, the format information corresponding to the heading document is called and the copy setting is made at the corresponding position of the heading document input in the text memory this time. The format information includes character size, typeface, decoration (for example, with shadow) and the like. Therefore, when you enter the same level headline many times, if you set the format information by associating it with the first headline, you can enter the same level headline after the second time as usual. The corresponding format can be set automatically.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a word processor. The CPU 1 is a central processing unit that controls the overall operation of the word processor according to various programs stored in the program memory 2-1 in the ROM 2 and the program memory 3-1 in the RAM 3, and a keyboard 4 which is a peripheral device thereof. , CRT display unit 5, floppy disk 6, and printer 7 to control their input / output operations.

The ROM 2 is provided with a program memory 2-1 for storing various programs, a character font memory 2-2 for storing character font data, and a headline pattern memory 2-3 in this embodiment. The headline pattern memory 2-3 stores headline patterns fixedly set in advance, and is configured as shown in FIG. In other words, the headline pattern memory 2-3 has "+
As a heading pattern in the form of “number”, “No., n1 (Arabic numeral), chapter”, “No., n2 (Chinese numeral), chapter”, “bracket +
"(N1)", "(n
2) ”,“ (n3 (numerical symbol)) ”, and“ n1, −, n1,
−, N1 ”, for example,“ 1-3-3 ”... Is stored. In addition, for example, “<< 3 >>”, “four chapters”, “1.
A heading pattern indicating "3.3" or the like is stored. This headline pattern is used when the input document is compared with the headline pattern in order to determine whether or not the input document data is the headline document.

The RAM 3 has a program memory 3-1 for storing application programs, a text memory 3-2 for storing input document data, and a work memory 3-3. Here, the text memory 3-2 stores the input document data in a code format, and the character code (1
The format information (line information) is stored in association with the character (2 bytes). This format information is information that defines the character size (points), typeface, and shading as a document format. The work memory 3-3 is a heading pattern memory 2 in which the heading patterns are stored when the input document data is a heading document such as "Chapter 3" or "1st term" as shown in FIG. -3 and the address of the text memory 3-2 are stored in association with each other.

The keyboard 4 is for inputting document data and various commands. The CPU 1 accesses the keyboard control unit 8 to perform document creation processing when a character code is input, and the text memory 3-2 in the RAM 3 is executed.
Or the character code is converted into display data and written in the video RAM (VRAM) 8. in this case,
The CRT control unit 10 reads display data from the VRAM 9 and causes the CRT display unit 5 to display and output the display data. When a document print command is input from the keyboard 4, the CPU 1 gives the document data in the text memory 3-2 to the printer control unit 11 together with the format information, and the printer 7 prints the document data in a print form according to the set format. Is printed out. Furthermore, when a document save command is input from the keyboard 4, C
The PU 1 reads the content of the text memory 3-2 and gives it to the external storage control unit 12 to register it in the floppy disk 6 or to retrieve the document data fetched from the floppy disk 6 via the external storage control unit 12 into the text memory 3
-2 or save the application program in the program memory 3-1.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the document creation process. First, when document data is input from the keyboard 4 according to a normal key operation procedure, C
The PU 1 displays the input document data and outputs it, and performs a normal text input process of storing it in the text memory 3-2 (step S1). This text input process is 1
The data input for the lines is completed, and the operation of the line feed key is repeated until it is detected in step S2. Now, when the line feed key is operated, the process proceeds to step S3, and the headline pattern matching process is performed.

In this headline pattern matching process, the document corresponding to the headline pattern is included in all or part of the input document data by matching the input document data with the contents of the headline pattern memory 2-3. Whether the input document data is a headline document or not is determined. In this case, the contents of the headline pattern memory 2-3 are checked character by character from the first character of the input document data. Now, as shown in FIG. 6, since the document on the first line includes "Chapter 3", it is a header document corresponding to the header pattern "th, n1, chapter" in the header pattern memory 2-3. It is determined in step S4 that there is. If it is determined in step S4 that the document is not the header line document, the process proceeds to step S8, and the format information preset as the body text format is set in the text memory 3-2 in association with the document data. After that, the process returns to step S1. When a normal document other than the headline document is input in this way, the format information of the body text is set in the text memory 3-2 following the end of the line.

On the other hand, as shown in the first line of FIG. 6, when a heading line including "Chapter 3" is input at the beginning of the line, a heading pattern (specifically, heading pattern) corresponding to this heading is input. It is checked whether the address of the memory 2-3) has already been registered in the work memory 3-3 (step S
5). Here, in order to avoid duplicate registration of the same pattern, the work memory 3-3 stores the address and the address of the heading pattern memory 2-3 in which the pattern is stored only when it is recognized as a new heading pattern. It is stored in association with the text address indicating the storage of the document, and nothing is stored when the first line is input.
Therefore, when inputting the first line, the format information input as the format of the heading line is set in the text memory 3-2 in association with the heading document in the same manner as usual (step S9). In this case, it is assumed that a format for defining (character size = 20 points, typeface = Gothic style, decoration = shaded) is set as the format information of the first heading line in FIG. Next, the address of the headline pattern memory 2-3 in which the headline pattern of the document is stored and the address of the text memory 3-2 indicating the storage position of the document are associated and registered in the work memory 3-3 ( Step S10).

Next, it is assumed that the heading line shown in FIG. 6 is input, and the format information (character size = 12 points, typeface = Mincho, decoration = emphasized) is also input.
In this case, as a result of the heading pattern matching process, the heading line is identified as "heading line" by "3-1." At the beginning of the line, but this heading pattern corresponds to the heading line registered in the work memory 3-3. Because it differs from the pattern,
As in the case described above, the input format information is set in the text memory 3-2 (step S9), and the heading pattern address and text address are newly registered in the work memory 3-3 (step S10). Here, if the body text is input after the heading line as shown in FIG. 6, the body text format information is set in the text memory 3-2 in association with the document data as described above. Is similar to the case of normal document input.

Next, it is assumed that the heading line shown in FIG. 6 has been input. Since this heading line has the same pattern as the heading line that has already been input, this is detected in step S5 and the process proceeds to step S6 to search for the address of the same pattern registered in the work memory 3-3. The text address corresponding to the headline pattern address is read from the work memory 3-3. Then address the text memory 3-2 according to this address,
The format information set in the designated area is copied and set in the corresponding position in the text memory 3-2 input this time (step S7). Therefore, the format information (character size = 12 points, typeface = Mincho, decoration = emphasis) set in the headline is automatically set in the text memory 3-2 corresponding to the headline.

When the contents of the text memory 3-2 input and created in this way are printed out, the document is printed according to the format information set for each line in the text memory 3-2. The document shown in is obtained.
In this case, the heading line has a character size of 20 points,
It is printed with typeface = Gothic type, decoration = shadowed, headline and character size = 12 points, typeface = Mincho, decoration = emphasized.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the input document data is collated with the heading pattern fixedly set in the heading pattern memory 2-3 in advance, and the input document data becomes the heading pattern. If the heading document is a corresponding heading document, it is determined whether the heading document having the same pattern is already input to the text memory 3-2.
If the headline document of the same pattern is already input in the text memory 3-2, the format information corresponding to the headline document is called and the current text memory 3- Since the setting is made by copying to the corresponding position of the heading document input in 2, when the heading document having the same pattern is repeatedly input, only the heading document is input as usual from the second time and thereafter. Format information is set automatically.
In addition, after the heading document is formatted, if a normal document (body text) is input, the state returns to the state in which the body text format information is set. Further, the keyboard 4 is provided with a selection key for selecting whether to automatically recognize a heading pattern or the like or to specify format information with the key, and the document data input after the operation of the selection key has a heading. Will no longer automatically format it.

Although the contents of the headline pattern memory 2-3 are fixedly set in advance in the above embodiment, the headline pattern is provided in the RAM 3 so that the user can arbitrarily register the headline pattern. Good. Further, although the working memory 3-3 is provided in order to recognize the same heading pattern in the above embodiment, the working memory 3-3 is not always necessary.
Need not be used, but it may be possible to directly recognize from the contents of the text memory 3-2 whether the heading document has the same pattern.

[0017]

According to the present invention, when a headline of the same level is repeatedly input, if the format information is set in association with the first headline, the headline of the same level after the second headline is set. Since the corresponding format can be automatically set only by inputting as usual, the format work can be simplified and the document can be efficiently created.
