As shown in FIG. 4, which will be described later, the character allocation management area 5 is allocated to each character type.

In S3, the character size is registered in the character registration management area 5 for each character type assigned in S2. This registers the X size and the Y size, as shown in FIG. 4 described later.

S4 is a character registration management area 5 for each character type.
Register the number of characters registered per line in. This is the number of characters registered per line = (memory width W of registration area) / (X size) = (quotient) ... (remainder), and the following: (quotient) = number of registered characters per line The number of characters is registered in the character registration management area 5.

S5 is a character registration management area 5 for each character type.
The character registration start Y coordinate is registered and held in. Where: (Character registration start Y coordinate) = [(Serial number) ÷ (Number of characters registered per line) +1] × (Y size) + (Character registration start Y coordinate of the previous character type) When it is 0, the Y coordinate of the preceding character type registration start is 0. Is registered in the character registration management area 5.

In step S6, the registered character dot data is registered. Where: registration destination X coordinate = (X size) × (remainder) registration destination Y coordinate = (Y size) × (quotient) + (character type registration start Y coordinate) ・ X size ・ Y size ・ registered character dot data Register based on.

In step S7, it is determined whether the character registration is completed. YE
In the case of S, the process ends (END). If no,
Return to S2 and repeat. As described above, the management information for each character type (the number of characters registered per line, the X size, the Y size, the Y coordinate of the character type registration start) is registered in the character registration management area 5 of FIG. 4, and the registered character dot data is registered for each character type. This means that registration has been completed in the registration area 4 in FIG.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the registered character code of the present invention. This is an example of a registered character code for extracting registered character dot data from the character registration management area 5 and the registration area 4. This registered character code is, as shown in the figure: Character type: 6 bits, and can manage / designate a maximum of 64 character types.

Additional number: 10 bits, maximum 102

Size, Y size, character type registration start Y coordinate) is registered in the character registration management area 5, registered character dot data for each character type is registered in the registration area 4, and the registered character dot data is specified by specifying the registered character code. It is possible to take out.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the character registration management area of the present invention. In the character registration management area 5, management information (the number of characters registered per line, the X size, the Y size, the Y coordinate of the character type registration start) for each character type is registered according to S2 to S5 of the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the registration area of the present invention. This registration area 4 stores registered character dot data for each character type,
It is registered in S6 of FIG. Here, the memory width of the registration area 4 is W.

FIG. 6 shows a flowchart for calling an external character according to the present invention. In FIG. 6, S11 receives the following electronic message. -Registered character code-Edited X, Y coordinates (upper left coordinates) S12 is data (management information (number of registered characters per line, X character) from the character registration management area 5 based on the character type of the registered character code.
Size, Y size, character type registration start Y coordinate)).

In step S13, the X and Y coordinates of the registration destination are calculated. This calculates the registration destination X-coordinate and the registration destination Y-coordinate in S6 of FIG. 2 described above. In step S14, characters are extracted (block transfer). Here, transfer source: upper left X coordinate, Y coordinate X size Y size transfer destination: upper left X coordinate, Y coordinate are specified and block transfer is performed from the transfer source to the transfer destination. For example, the registered character dot data is block-transferred from the transfer source of "a" in FIG. 7A described later to the transfer destination X and Y coordinates (upper left) of FIG.

A step S15 decides whether or not the end code is detected. If YES, output in S16 (print / display)
And ends (END). On the other hand, if NO, S2
Return to and repeat.

As described above, in response to the designation of the registered character code and the X and Y coordinates (upper left) of the editing destination (transfer destination) in the telegram, the management information (one line) of the corresponding character type in the character registration management area 5 is displayed. The number of registered characters, the X size, the Y size, and the Y coordinate of the character type registration start) can be extracted and the registered character dot data can be block-transferred from the registration area 4 to the edit destination (transfer destination) and printed / displayed based on these. Becomes

FIG. 7 shows an example of calling an external character according to the present invention.
FIG. 7A shows an example of the registration area 4. The registration area 4 has a memory width W = 1152 bits, and the character type registration start coordinates are (0, 100).

FIG. 7B shows an example in which the registered character code of the character "A" to be called as an external character is 0000 1000 0000 0010B [0802H]. Here, the first 6 bits "0000 10"
Represents the character type, and the subsequent 10 bits represent the additional number.

FIG. 7C shows character registration management area data. Here, as shown in the figure, the number of characters registered per line: 1152/32 = 36 characters X size: 32 bits Y size: 32 bits Character type registration start Y coordinate: 100.

FIG. 7D shows a coordinate calculating method in which "A" is registered. (Additional number) ÷ (Number of characters registered per line) = (quotient) ... (remainder) 2 ÷ 36 = 0 ... 2, and as shown in (d-1) of Fig. 7, the X coordinate is ( X coordinate) = (remainder) × (X size) = 2 × 32 = 64. As shown in (d-2) of FIG. 7, the Y coordinate is (Y coordinate) = (quotient) × (Y size) + (character type registration start Y coordinate = 0 × 32 + 100 = 100).

Therefore, from the upper left coordinates of (X coordinate, Y coordinate) = (64, 100) in the registration area of FIG. 7A, the registered character dot data is acquired from the rectangular area of 32 bits for each of X size and Y size. As described above, it is possible to perform block transfer to the area of the transfer destination X and Y coordinates (upper left) of the editing area of FIG.
