BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kanji stroke order output device, and in particular, it can be used for producing a print manuscript or a film for plate making of a printed matter in which kanji such as textbooks and various teaching materials are divided and displayed for each stroke order. .

[0002]

BACKGROUND ART [0002] Conventionally, in order to learn the stroke order of kanji, some kanji are divided and displayed according to the stroke order in textbooks of various languages such as elementary schools and junior high schools. When creating a print manuscript or film of Chinese characters divided by stroke order like this, conventionally, the basic typeface is manually processed by using a correction fluid, or processed on the film during printing plate making. I made a manuscript for each stroke.

[0003]

However, the number of divisions such as displaying the stroke order of kanji in 8 divisions or 6 divisions may be different depending on various textbooks and dictionaries, and the size of the printed kanji (series). The size of each typeface may be different each time, and conventionally, each typeface must be manually processed according to the number of divisions, etc., which is very complicated work, requires a long working time, and requires manual labor. However, there is a problem that the burden on the cost is large. In addition, it is necessary to proofread the created manuscript to make sure that the stroke order is correct, but proofreading work is required each time a new manuscript is created according to changes in the series, and the work is extremely complicated. There was also a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a kanji stroke order output device capable of dividing and outputting kanji characters in each stroke order and easily responding even when the size and the number of divisions of the kanji differ.

[0005]

A kanji stroke order output device of the present invention comprises a storage part in which stroke data for each stroke of a kanji is stored, an input part for instructing the kanji to be output and its output format.
It is characterized by comprising a control unit for reading out stroke data of a Chinese character designated by the input unit from the storage unit and outputting it to an output device such as a display or a printer in an output format designated by the input unit.

At this time, the output format instructed by the input unit is the number of divisions when the kanji is divided and displayed in the stroke order,
The number of output strokes that specifies the number of strokes to be output for each split display, the size (series) of the Kanji to be output, the feed amount and line spacing, and the number of strokes specified for output in each split display area It is preferable that the control section includes data instructing a processing format of data and other incidental data, and the control unit processes and outputs the stroke data based on the data of the output format.

As the stroke data stored in the storage unit, image data of a reference typeface read by a scanner is displayed on a display and divided into each stroke by using image processing means such as graphic software. Postscript

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a kanji stroke order output device 1 includes an input unit 2 including a predetermined input device such as a keyboard and a mouse.
And a control unit 3 including a central processing unit (CPU) that controls each device, and a storage unit 4 including a predetermined memory such as a hard disk, a RAM, or a ROM. The storage unit 4 includes an output processing program 5 for performing stroke order output processing for Chinese characters, and stroke data 6 for each stroke of each Chinese character.
And are remembered.

The kanji stroke order output device 1 includes a CRT and LE.
A display 7 using various devices such as D and liquid crystal,
A printer 8 including a laser printer and an output machine for computer typesetting is connected. Further, in the present embodiment, in order to create the stroke data 6 stored in the storage unit 4, a computer 9 for creating stroke data, which is different from the kanji stroke order output device 1, is provided. Is connected to the scanner 10.

Next, the stroke order output process of Kanji in this embodiment will be described. First, the stroke data 6 is created using the stroke data creating computer 9. The stroke data 6 is created by scanning the kanji of the standard typeface with the scanner 1
At 0, it is read as image data, and the stroke data 6 for each stroke is created by image processing means such as graphic software. The standard typefaces are Mincho typeface, Gothic typeface, text typeface,
It is appropriately set from various typefaces such as a regular typeface according to publications such as textbooks and dictionaries.

The created stroke data 6 is stored in the storage unit 4 of the kanji stroke order output device 1 via various storage media such as communication and floppy disks and magneto-optical disks. In addition, the stroke data 6 of each Chinese character is collectively stored in one file 11. For example, taking the stroke data 6 of the Chinese character "yen" shown in FIG. 2 as an example, since "yen" has four strokes, four stroke data 6A to 6D have been created. 6D are stored in one file 11. Each stroke data 6A-6D
Is the image data for each stroke of the Chinese character "yen", as well as the alignment when outputting each image data 6A to 6D,
It has a register mark (register mark) that serves as a reference for the size (series) of output Chinese characters, the feed amount, and the line spacing.

When the stroke data 6 of each Chinese character is stored in the storage unit 4, the Chinese character to be output and the output format are input from the input unit 2. The control unit 3 processes the output format data from the input unit 2 by the output processing program 5, reads the stroke data 6 from the storage unit 4, and displays it on the display 7 or the printer 8.
Output to.

3 to 5 show a printer 8 using this embodiment.
The printing examples 30, 40, and 50 output to the above are shown. These outputs are set according to the input format of the input unit 2. As the input format, the number of divisions when the output Kanji is divided and displayed according to the stroke order, the number of output strokes that specifies up to what stroke is output at each division display, and the output Kanji Data that indicates the size (series), feed amount, line spacing, data up to the number of strokes instructed to be output in each split display part, other blank data, processing format of various data such as entry frame data Is included. For example, in FIG.
In the printing example 30 of the “circle” shown in FIG. 4, the number of divisions is set to 4, the number of output strokes is set to one for each divided portion, and the processing of the stroke data of the remaining number of strokes is set to non-display. Further, the printing example 40 of the "circle" shown in FIG. 4 is different from that of FIG. 3 in that it is designated that half-stroked stroke data is shaded. On the other hand, a "line" printing example 50 shown in FIG.
Is set so that the number of divisions is set to 8, and the processing of the stroke data of the remaining number of strokes is performed so that the contour is displayed by a dotted line. In addition, since the number of output strokes is 15 strokes and is equal to or greater than the number of divisions, 1
3rd, 4th, 6th, 11th,
It is set to display the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th strokes. In addition, the printing example 30 of FIGS.
In 40 and 50, the kanji in which the stroke order is displayed is output above the portion where the stroke order is divided and displayed by superimposing all the stroke data 6 of the kanji.

According to the present embodiment as described above, only by designating a predetermined input format in the input unit 2, the stroke order of Chinese characters can be obtained with a predetermined division number, output stroke number, size (series), feed amount and line spacing. Can be output. Therefore, the stroke order can be easily output in a format suitable for various publications such as textbooks, teaching materials, and dictionaries, and the work efficiency can be significantly improved as compared with the conventional case.

Further, since the stroke data 6 used for outputting the kanji stroke order is stored as image data of a predetermined format such as Postscript (registered trademark), the image data is processed by software in response to changes in the series. It can be enlarged and reduced for display. Therefore, it is not necessary to create a plurality of stroke data 6 having different series in the same typeface, and only one stroke data 6 needs to be produced for each typeface, so that the work of producing the stroke data 6 can be reduced. Furthermore, the proofreading work of the stroke order of each kanji need only be performed once for each stroke data 6, and the proofreading work can be performed easily and surely.
Work efficiency can be improved.

Further, since the number of divisions of the kanji to be output and the number of output strokes can be freely set in the input section 2, for example, in a publication for elementary school students, the stroke order can be displayed for each stroke as much as possible to understand. For publications aimed at junior high school students and above, the number of divisions is reduced and the stroke order can be displayed for every 2-3 strokes. The stroke order output of Kanji can be freely and easily set according to various publications. It is possible to improve learning efficiency by outputting stroke order in various formats.

If a laser printer and a computer typesetting output machine are prepared as the printer 8, the laser printer is used for proofreading, and the computer typesetting output machine is used for the printed manuscript. Can be output to. As a result, it is possible to easily create a print document.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but includes modifications and improvements as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the stroke data creating computer 9 is provided separately from the kanji stroke order output device 1, and the creation process of the stroke data 6 is performed by the computer 9. However, as shown in FIG. Connect the scanner 10 to 1,
The output device 1 may also be configured to generate the stroke data 6.

In the above embodiment, the kanji is printed by the printer 8.
Although it was output to and printed on the screen, it may be output to the display 7 and displayed on the screen, or may be output to both the printer 8 and the display 7. By thus outputting to the display 7 as well, the output state can be confirmed on the screen before being printed on the printer 8, and, for example, it is possible to sequentially display each screen on the screen. By setting a predetermined screen display process, it can be used for learning the stroke order of kanji.

Further, when the storage unit 4 stores the stroke data 6 of a plurality of typefaces, a typeface selection instruction is also performed in the input format of the input unit 2 so that Kanji of different typefaces can be output. You may Further, in the printing examples of FIGS. 3 to 5, the register mark of the stroke data 6 is not output, but if necessary, whether or not to output the register mark can be designated in the input format, and the register mark is appropriately output. You may Further, it may be set to be able to specify whether or not to output a kanji input frame including a square frame displayed around each kanji.

Further, when using a color display, a color printer, or the like, the color may be set so that the color changes in accordance with the stroke order. For example, if the stroke data 6 is output in different colors, or if the image data up to the number of output strokes in each divided portion and the subsequent image data are output in different colors, the stroke order can be recognized. It also has the advantage of being easier. Further, when outputting a film for platemaking, image data may be output for each film on which each color such as three primary colors is printed. This also has the advantage of reducing the number of steps for color printing and improving workability. Furthermore, the processing format of stroke data after the number of strokes instructed to be output in each divided display part is
In addition to the non-display, shading, and color setting as in the above embodiment, the print density and the like may be changed.

Further, when preparing a print manuscript for a textbook or a dictionary, a list is prepared in which the kanji to be output are summarized for each grade dividend such as elementary school and junior high school, and the list is designated for each grade. It is also possible to sequentially output the kanji and create a print manuscript for each grade. At this time, the output order may be appropriately set by arranging the order of the kanji in the list in the order that they appear in the textbook, or in the order of reading such as phonological lessons.
