In FIG. 1, the system of the present invention operates by a keyboard 1 for giving an operation instruction such as character input and printing to the control unit 2 and a program stored in a program memory 3, Control unit (CPU) 2 that performs character input, display control, print control, etc.
And a program memory 3 that uses a ROM or a RAM to store a program to be given to the control unit 2, and a DATA storage memory 4 that uses a RAM to store and read variables when operating the program. And a display unit 5 for displaying a document being created using a CRT or LCD, a printing unit 6 for printing a document using a thermal head printer, etc., and created document data using a floppy disk or the like. And the like, and an external storage unit 7 for storing such information.

The decoration information described in the present invention includes character size, underline, halftone, italic, typeface and the like. The decoration information is stored as a decoration code in the character buffer such as the external storage unit 7 together with the character code to be added.
The character buffer is shown in FIG. 2, and the character code is represented by 2 bytes, and a decoration information byte of 1 byte is provided in front of the character code and the decoration information of the corresponding character is stored according to the state of each bit.

In the present invention, decoration information is automatically added when a new character is input to the document stored in the character buffer. However, in the present invention,
A decoration mode flag is provided in the work area in the DATA storage memory 4 so that the position of the character to be referred to in the document can be set. Further, a decoration information automatic addition flag is provided in the work area so that whether or not the decoration information is automatically added to the input character can be set. A storage example of the work area is shown in FIG.

Next, the setting process of the decoration mode flag will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the present embodiment, as the decoration mode, an omnidirectional match that adds the same decoration information as a character positioned before and after, a forward match that adds the same decoration information as a character positioned before, and a character positioned after It is possible to set three modes of backward matching in which the same decoration information is added. First,
When the operator inputs a desired decoration mode (step S4)
1) It is determined what the input decoration mode is (step S42). If it is omnidirectional, the decoration mode flag is set to omnidirectional match (step S43). If it is forward matching, the decoration mode flag is set. Is set to match in the forward direction (step S44), and if it matches in the backward direction, the decoration mode flag is set to match in the backward direction (step S45).

The setting process of the decoration information automatic addition flag will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the operator inputs whether or not the decoration information is automatically added, that is, when the decoration information automatic addition mode is input (step S51), the input decoration information automatic addition mode is determined (step S52), and If the addition is turned on, the decoration information automatic addition flag is set to automatic addition (step S53). If the addition is not turned on, the decoration information automatic addition flag is set not to be automatically added (step S54). In the actual process, before the process of adding characters and adding decoration information is performed, it is possible to refer to the decoration information automatic addition flag to select whether or not to automatically add decoration information. .

The present invention will be described below with reference to specific examples. As shown in FIG. 6A, for example, when a new character "e" is input at the input position A of the character string "Aoi" (decoration information "quadruple-width"), the characters "u" located before and after are input. Since the same decoration information "quadruple-width" is added to "O", the decoration information "quadruple-width" is automatically added to the newly input character "e". This is also the case in the past.

In the present invention, as in the example of FIG.
Even when the decoration information is different before and after the input position, the decoration information is automatically added. In the example of FIG. 6B, between the character string “1234” (decoration information “quadruple angle / Gothic type”) and the character string “aiue” (decoration information “shaded / Gothic type”) Character "*"
Is a process of inputting. When the decoration information is different before and after the input position as described above, the decoration information is automatically added according to the setting content of the decoration mode flag in FIG. 3 described above.
When the decoration mode flag is set to match in the forward direction, the same decoration information “quadruple angle / Gothic type” as the character “4” located before the input position is added to the character “*”.
When the decoration mode flag is set to match in the backward direction, the same decoration information "shaded / Gothic" as the character "a" located after the input position is added to the character "*". When the decoration mode flag is set to be omnidirectional, the decoration information “Gothic”, which is the character “*” and the characters “4” and “a” located before and after the input position, is partially the same. Is added. In this case, if the same decoration information does not exist even partially, the decoration information is not added to the input character.
The same decoration information described in the example of FIG. 6A is a case where the decoration information before and after the input position is completely the same.

Further, in the present invention, the delimiter of the character string is determined and the decoration information is automatically added. In the present invention, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, a specific code is stored in the specific code table in the program memory 3 as a code representing the delimiter of the character string. Here, the specific code is a line feed code,
The page break code, the punctuation mark code, the reading mark code, the parentheses code, the brackets code and the like.

A specific example of FIG. 8 will be described below. Here, an example is shown in which a new character "☆" is input to the character strings "Aiueo (decoration information" double-width ") and oysters" (decoration information "underline").
When the character is input, the code located after is the reading code stored in the specific code table of FIG. 7, so that the character “☆” is added with the decoration information “double angle” which is the same as the character located in front. . In addition, the character "☆" is displayed at the input position C.
If you enter, the preceding code is the reading code stored in the specific code table in FIG. 7, so the character “☆” is added with the decoration information “underline” that is the same as the following character “ka”. To do.

The process of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. In FIG. 9, first, the input position is determined by moving the cursor (step S1). Next, it is judged from the decoration information automatic addition flag of FIG. 3 whether or not the decoration information is automatically added to the character to be inputted, and the decoration information is not automatically added (N
If it is set as O), the process proceeds to step S10,
Only the input characters are stored (step S10). On the other hand, if the decoration information is set to be automatically added (YES), the storage position of the decoration information code of the place corresponding to the determined input position is calculated (step S3). When a character is input to the input position designated by moving the cursor (step S4), the decoration information before and after the input position is read from the storage position calculated in step S3 (step S4).
5). Next, it is determined what position the character input position is (step S6). If it is in the character string, the process proceeds to step S7. If it is immediately after the character string, the process proceeds to step S8. If it is immediately before the character string, the process proceeds to step S9. And
The input character code and decoration information code are stored (step S10).

The process of step S6 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In step S61, it is determined whether or not the decoration information is added to the preceding character, and in steps S62 and 63, it is determined whether or not the decoration information is added to the subsequent character, and the decoration information is added to the preceding and succeeding characters. If is added, the process proceeds to step S64.
Set the flags in the string. If the decoration information is added only to the previous character, the process proceeds to step S65, and the flag immediately after the character string is set. If the decoration information is added only to the subsequent character, step S66.
Go to and set the flag just before the string. If the decoration information is not added to the characters before and after, step S
Proceeding to 67, the no decoration flag is set.

Next, the process of step S7 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, it is determined whether or not the decoration information before and after is the same (step S7).
1) If they match (YES), the decoration information is added (step S72). On the other hand, if they do not match (N
O), the setting state of omnidirectional / forward / backward matching is determined from the decoration mode flag in FIG. 3 (step S73). If the forward matching is set, the decoration information of one character before is added (step S74). If backward matching is set, decoration information after one character is added (step S75). If omnidirectional matching is set, it is determined whether or not there is matching decorative information before and after (step S76), and if there is matching decorative information, the matching decorative information is added (step S77). If not, the decoration information is not added.

Further, the processing of step S8 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. It is determined whether or not one character behind is the specific code (step S81), and if it is the specific code (YES), the decoration information one character before is added. On the other hand, if it is not the specific code (NO), the decoration information is not added (step S82). In addition, the above step S9
The process will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. It is determined whether or not the preceding character is a specific code (step S
91), if it is a specific code (YES), the decoration information after one character is added. On the other hand, if it is not a specific code (N
O), decoration information is not added (step S92).

[0024]

According to the present invention, when the judging means judges that the decoration information of the characters located before and after the character coincides with each other, the new character inputted by the inputting means is inputted. While the same decoration information as the characters located before and after is added to, when the judgment information determines that the decoration information of the characters located before and after does not match, it is set to the new character input by the input means. Since the decoration information is added by referring to the decoration information of the character at the position set by the means, even if the decoration information of the characters located before and after the character is different, the setting can be performed without inputting the decoration information independent of the character input. It is possible not only to add the decoration information by referring to the decoration information of the character at the position set by the means, but also to set the position of the character to be referred to in accordance with the operation situation, thus improving the operability. Improved and easy to use It is possible to provide a good system.

According to the second aspect of the invention, when the judging means judges that the code located before or after the input position is the specific code, the new character input by the input means is entered. Since the same decoration information as the character located after or in front of the input position is added to, even if the decoration information of the character located before and after is different, the decoration information can be displayed without inputting the decoration information independent of character input. A device that can be added, has improved operability, and is easy to use can be provided. Further, in the invention according to claim 3, since the specific code is a code indicating a character string delimiter of a line feed, a page break, a punctuation mark, a punctuation mark, a parenthesis, and a space, the character string delimiter can be easily determined. become.

Further, according to the invention of claim 4, whether or not the decoration information is added to the character input by the input means can be set in advance, so that it can be set according to the operation situation, and the operability is improved. An improved and user-friendly device can be provided.
