Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Outline] This is a method of processing repeated copying for improving the editing operation of character data performed on the screen of a display device.

In an edit processing device that has a display device that can display each character in a specified color from multiple display colors, if you want to copy a specified display character to multiple character positions in sequence, copy each copy destination. Whether the display color of the result is the display color of the copy source or the original display color of the copy destination is saved is identified, and the display color is determined and displayed.

With this processing method, the color designation function at the time of repetitive copying is enhanced, and the operability of editing is improved.

[Industrial applications]

The present invention, on a display device screen having a plurality of display colors,
The present invention relates to a repetitive copy processing method in an edit processing device that edits character data.

[Prior Art] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an editing processing apparatus which handles character data.

The processing device 1 receives control information and character data such as commands input by an operator from an input device 2 such as a keyboard,
These are held in the memory in the processing device 1 and the character data is output to the display device 3 such as a CRT display device and displayed.

The operator can specify the display color of the character and the color of the background by the control information that is input by, for example, placing the cursor on one color of the color sample displayed on the screen.

When the operator inputs the required data, edits the data input as described later while looking at the screen of the display device 3, and completes the screen and inputs a predetermined end instruction, the processing device is completed. The screen data is stored in, for example, the storage device 4 and saved.

The operator can edit the input screen by inputting editing commands such as copying, deleting, moving, etc., and designating the position on the screen to be edited by, for example, a cursor.

When performing repeated copying, the operator places the cursor on the screen at the position of the display character of the copy source, and the input device 2
By repeatedly pressing a predetermined key of, the copying is commanded repeatedly.

When the processor 1 receives the copy command repeatedly, the processor 4
In accordance with the flow of processing shown in the figure, first, in processing step 10, the cursor position on the screen of the display device 3 is identified, and the character data designated thereby and the display color information thereof are held as copy source information, and the copy destination is held. Wait for the specified input.

After moving the cursor to the copy destination character position on the screen, the operator specifies the copy destination character position by pressing the cursor movement key while pressing a predetermined key (defined as an expansion key).

In processing step 11, the processing apparatus 1 identifies the copy destination character position designation input, and in processing step 12, the designated character is copied in the designated display color according to the held copy source information. The required information is output to the display device 3 so as to be displayed first.

In the processing step 13, if the next input is a predetermined repeat end designation, the process is terminated, and if not, the process of the process step 11 is repeated by the next copy destination designation input.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

According to the above-described repeated copying, the display color first determined by the display character of the copy source is applied to the display of all the characters that are repeatedly copied, and other colors cannot be designated.

However, in the case of repeated copying, there are cases in which the display color is the same as that in the copy source, and there is a case in which the display color retains the original state of the copy destination. There are many cases where they are mixed, including when creating a pattern-like screen.

In such a case, there is a problem that the operation is complicated because it is necessary to perform copying in multiple times.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of processing showing the configuration of the present invention.
The figure shows the flow of the repeated copying process in the processing apparatus, and 20 to 24 show the processing steps.

[Action]

In response to the repeated copying command input by the operator, the processing device identifies the copying source character position in processing step 20 of FIG. 1 and holds the copying source character data and display color designated thereby as copying source information. , Wait for the next specified input.

When the operator's color designation is received in process step 21 and the copy destination character position designation input is identified in process step 22, the designated character retained as copy source information is processed in process step 23 according to the color designation received earlier. , The display color of the copy source or the current display color of the copy destination is processed.

In the processing step 24, if the next input is a predetermined repeat end designation, the process is terminated, and if not, the process from the process step 21 is repeated by the color designation input of the next copy.

With the above processing method, the color designation can be changed for each copy destination of the repeated copy, and the repeated copy in which different display colors are mixed can be performed by a simple operation.

〔Example〕

When repeatedly copying, for example, the operator places the cursor on the screen at the position of the display character of the copy source and presses a predetermined key of the input device 2 as in the conventional case.
Command repeat copying.

When the processor 1 receives the copy command repeatedly, the first
According to the flow of processing shown in the figure, first, in processing step 20, the cursor position on the screen of the display device 3 is identified, and the character data and display color of the copy source designated thereby are held as copy source information. Wait for the specified input.

The operator specifies the color of the copy result in a predetermined color
Since the input is made by pressing the no-color designation key, the processing device 1
Receives and holds the color designation in processing step 21.

It should be noted that the color designation may be omitted, and if omitted, for example, the color may be designated as the color of the immediately preceding copy destination (in the first case, for example, coloring is designated).

Next, the operator moves the cursor to the character position of the copy destination, and then specifies the copy destination character position by, for example, pressing the expansion key and the cursor movement key to specify the copy destination character position.

In the processing step 22, the processing device 1 identifies the copy destination character position designation input, and in the processing step 23, outputs the required information to the display device 3 so as to display the designated character held as the copy source information.

At that time, referring to the color designation received in the processing step 21, for example, in the case of coloring designation, the display color of the copy source held as the copy source information, and in the case of no color designation, the current display color of the copy destination is designated. The display color is output to the display device 3.

In the processing step 24, if the next input is a predetermined repeat end designation, the process is terminated, and if not, the process from the process step 21 is repeated by the color designation input of the next copy.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the above-mentioned repeated copying by way of an example of a display, where (a) shows a copy source character and (b) shows a copy destination character group. The shaded pattern indicates that the display color is that of the copy source. A square surrounding the character represents a cursor.

After the copy source character and display color in Fig. 2 (a) are specified,
Place the cursor on the copy destination character "1" as shown in (b),
For example, if you specify coloring and then specify the copy destination,
As shown in (c), the copy source display color "A" is displayed.

Next, when no color is designated and the copy destination is designated on this screen, "a" which is changed to the display color of the copy destination is displayed as shown in (d).

In this state, if you change the color designation and specify the copy destination, the screen as shown in (e) is displayed.
You can continue copying while specifying colors as needed.

〔The invention's effect〕

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, in the repeated copy editing by the edit processing device of the character data screen, the color designation can be changed for each copy destination of the repeated copy, and different display colors are mixed. Repeated copy
Since it can be easily performed with a small number of operations, it has a remarkable industrial effect of improving the work efficiency of screen editing.
