With this configuration, the document creation device does not have a printer, so it is small and can be moved independently of the document printing device, and the transmission of created document information via the document recording medium is separated. You can do it with Therefore 1,
The document printing device can be independently located at another location. Furthermore, when a dot printer or the like is used, it is also possible to move the document printing device to a location where it will not be noisy.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overview of a document creation device in a word processor, which is an embodiment of the Japanese language processing system of the present invention, and a micro-flexible disk for its documents and dictionaries, and FIG. 2 is an overview of its document printing device. It is. Also,
FIG. 3(L) and FIG. 3(b) respectively show a dictionary/kanji pattern micro flexible disk 20 (hereinafter simply referred to as a dictionary/kanji pattern floppy 20) and a document/kanji pattern micro flexible disk 21 (hereinafter simply referred to as a document/kanji pattern floppy disk). FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of address mapping of the floppy 21), and FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the kana-kanji conversion process for the katagana part. Note that the same components are indicated by the same reference numerals in each of these.

The document creation device 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a keyboard section 2, a document creation liquid crystal display section 3, an existing document liquid crystal display section 3a, and a flexible disk drive device 4 (hereinafter referred to as a floppy disk drive device 4). It has a power switch 5. Here, 2a is a keyboard with a consonant + vowel arrangement provided in the keyboard part 2, and in the center of the keyboard, a power-on movement key 2b is arranged, and the consonant key and the vowel key are arranged at intervals that are easy to hit. I keep it. For details about the keyboard with consonant + vowel arrangement, please refer to the patent application 1986-1.
91396 and Japanese Patent Application No. 58-212164, the detailed explanation thereof will be omitted here.

Here, 4a is the dictionary 11 kanji pattern floppy 20
and a storage section for closing the document/kanji pattern floppy disk 21, from which the dictionary/kanji pattern floppy disk 20 and the document e-kanji pattern floppy diskette 21 are taken out and placed on the disk 1. One of the openings 4b of the floppy disk drive device 4 is attached to the floppy disk drive device 4. On the other hand, the document printing device 10 shown in FIG. 2 includes a floppy disk drive Bunmei Bee-4 device 11, a manual section 12, and a print processing section 13. Then, the document created by the document creation device 1 is recorded on the document e-kanji pattern floppy disk 21, which is loaded into the floppy disk drive device 11 of the document printing device 10, and is printed as a predetermined document. is printed according to the need.

Now, when creating a document, the floppy disk drive device 4 of the document creation device 1 operates with the dictionary kanji pattern floppy 20 installed, and when the document creation is completed, it is returned to the document kanji pattern floppy 21. hand,
The created document will be recorded on the document/kanji pattern floppy disk 21.

Here, the dictionary/kanji pattern floppy disk 20 is provided with a kanji table storage area 20a as a kanji dictionary and a kanji bit pattern storage area 20b for display. Processing device 31
It is accessed by (CPU 31) and sends out information regarding a predetermined kanji code and the bit pattern of the kanji.

The floppy floppy 21 has a storage area 21b for created documents and a kanji bit pattern storage area 21e for printing, and when printing a document, the character code (kanji code (in a broad sense including non-kanji and non-kanji codes), the non-kanji ROM built into the document printing device 0 and this kanji pattern storage area 2
1e and print the corresponding characters.

Therefore, the kanji bit pattern corresponding to the kanji code of the dictionary φ kanji pattern floppy 20 and the non-kanji ROM 32
The address of the kanji character bit pattern corresponding to the kanji code of the document/kanji pattern floppy 21 and the address of the non-kanji ROM built in the document printing device 10 are associated with each other so that they can be converted with the same or a predetermined relationship. There is.

Note that the document printing device 10 may not be provided with a non-kanji ROM, and all bit patterns including non-kanji bit patterns may be stored in the kanji bit pattern storage area 21e of the document/kanji pattern floppy disk 21. In this case, the kanji bit pattern storage area 21e of the document@kanji pattern floppy 21 will be associated with the character bit pattern storage area and the bit pattern.

Here, the non-kanji characters in the non-kanji ROM 32 are those in which frequently used character bit patterns such as hiragana, katagana, English letters, and numbers are stored.

Now, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the document/kanji pattern floppy disk 21 further stores a processing program related to document creation and printing in a program storage area 21a. Further, the document/kanji pattern floppy disk 21 is provided with a spare area 21c, which is used to store the second level kanji when the kanji bit pattern stored in the kanji pattern storage area 21e is within the range of the first level kanji. It is used as an area to read kanji bit patterns from other floppies, and is also used as an area to temporarily store idioms that have been used once. It is used as an area for storing a correspondence table that associates addresses of Kanji bit patterns corresponding to codes with addresses of Kanji bit patterns corresponding to Kanji codes of the document/kanji pattern floppy 21.

In addition, the next registered dictionary area 21d is one document creation device Kt.
This is an area to be registered when a user creates a phrase for personal use.

The number of bytes of the storage area shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) is based on the dictionary/kanji pattern when a micro floppy disk drive device is used as the floppy disk drive device 4 and the floppy disk drive document creation device ll. The allocation is shown as 280 kB for the floppy disk 20 and the document/kanji pattern floppy disk 21. However, it is not limited to such a microfloppy; for example, it may be a magnetic bubble memory or an optical disk, and when such a recording medium is used, the drive device must be a compatible drive device. Become.

Here, the advantage of using a microfloppy disk drive device is that its power consumption is low and it is suitable for battery-powered portable use.

Now, referring to the number of bytes of the storage area shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), the kanji bit pattern storage area 20b (
96kB) is the Kanji bit pattern storage area 21e (1
The number of bytes is smaller than 44kB). This is because 24×24 dots are used for printing, and 16×16 dots are used for display. However, these may be the same.

Next, the operation of this Japanese word processor will be explained according to its configuration. First, the document-kanji pattern floppy 21 is installed in the floppy disk drive device 4, and the keys 2 to 5 are pressed.
When the start key 46 shown in the figure is input, the document creation program is read from the program area 21a of the document association kanji pattern floppy disk 21 under the processing of the CPU 31.
The data is transferred to and stored in the program area 34b of the memory 34 (for example, 0MO5-RAM).

When one of the start keys arranged at the top of the keyboard 2a, for example, the create key 50 is pressed as a function key accompanying the press of the start key, the program area 34b
Based on a predetermined program of
The number of characters per line, number of lines per page, etc. at the time of document creation are set, and preparations are made for document creation processing.

Here, in the case of update processing, the update key 51 of the keyboard 2a is input as a function key when the start key is pressed, the document number is input without performing the initial setting, and the document/kanji character is input. Document area 2 of pattern floppy 21
The corresponding already created document information is read from 1b and stored in the program area 34b.

Next, the dictionary/kanji pattern floppy disk 20 is loaded into the floppy disk drive device 4, and the document creation process is started. Then, the 20B disk drive device 4 obtains the kanji codes corresponding to the kanji conversion from a predetermined storage table as necessary, and sequentially stores them in the document registration area 34c of the memory 34, and stores them on the floppy disk. Disk drive device 4 or non-defective ROM 3
The corresponding character bit patterns and cursor control code obtained from 2 are sent to the liquid crystal display control circuit 36 via the interface 36a, and the bit patterns corresponding to these character codes are sent to the liquid crystal display control circuit 36.

The document creation process is performed in this way, and when it is completed, the end key 47 on the keyboard 2a is pressed. here,
When the document/kanji pattern floppy 21 is inserted into the floppy disk drive device 4, the new save key 48 or the save key 49 on the keyboard 2a is input, and in the case of new creation, when the created document number is input, the creation starts. The written document is read out from the document registration area 34c of the memory 34 and stored in the document area 21b of the document/kanji pattern floppy disk 21.

Here, the phrases created during document creation are transferred to and stored in the registered phrase area 34d. The kanji dictionary area 20a of the dictionary/kanji pattern floppy diskette 20 is also read out to show the used phrases.

During the kanji conversion process, the words are stored in the used phrase area 34e and are searched and read preferentially.

In the kanji conversion process, if there are homophones, these pieces of information are simultaneously transferred from the floppy disk drive device 4 and converted into the first kanji. In addition, the transfer of converted kanji information from the floppy disk drive device 4 to the memory 34 in such a case is performed by D.
Of course, this may be done by providing an MA controller.

By the way, as for the second level bit pattern, a 16x16 bit pattern for display and a 24x24 bit pattern for printing are read from a separately provided second level bit pattern floppy by inputting a code and are stored in the second level pattern area 34f. . The information in each of these areas is stored in the document, kanji pattern flow, and
Registered dictionary area 21d and spare area 21c of MP21
(In this case, the second level bit pattern is only a 24×24 print pattern that is transferred). And registered phrase area 34d
The information in the idiom area 34e is selectively read in accordance with the processing of the CPU 31 when creating or updating the next document.

Here, the system ROM 33 stores various system programs and monitor programs, and the common bus 35 connects the CPU 31 and the liquid crystal display control circuit 36.
An interface 36a with.

Interface 38 to keyboard 2. This is a system bus that transfers data via the disk interface 37 and the like. Further, the liquid crystal display control circuit 36 manages the document creation liquid crystal display section 3 as a work display liquid crystal display device (liquid crystal display section A) that displays the display of the created document and the processing status, and displays the overflow part of the already created document. Streaming display (
It manages the document creation liquid crystal display section 3a as a liquid crystal display section B), and controls the character bit pattern and cursor system 01 signal from the floppy disk drive device 4 or non-kanji ROM 32 by controlling the CPU 31 (rejected) as an interface 36a. fld control to display hiragana, katagana, and kanji characters corresponding to the kana input at a predetermined position.

Note that 2c is a keyboard encoder.

Thus created, the document Φ Kanji pattern floppy 21
When necessary, the recorded document is transferred to the floppy disk drive destination m device 11 of the document printing device 10 located at another location.
will be installed on the Then, the corresponding document number is input from the keyboard 12, and the kanji bit pattern area 21e of the document II pattern front panel 21 and the built-in non-ambiguous character ROM are referred to, and a predetermined document is printed. Become.

Here, the configuration of this document printing device 10 is such that the liquid crystal display control circuit 36 in FIG. 4 becomes a printer control circuit, and the liquid crystal display section 3.3a is replaced with a printing mechanism.
The configuration is almost the same as that shown in FIG. 4, except that the keyboard section 2 is replaced by the input key part 12, and the floppy disk drive device 4 is replaced by the floppy disk drive and the non-apparatus row 11. Therefore, the detailed operation will be omitted.

Next, the kana-kanji conversion process will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. Note that the process for converting katakana to kana/kanji has already been filed in Japanese Patent Application No. 58-68185, so the details will be based on this document and only the necessary parts will be briefly explained.

Now, the keyboard 2a has a cursor movement key 2b arranged in the center thereof, and one katakana/hiragana state conversion processing key 41. This katakana/hiragana state conversion processing key 41 is stored in the system ROM 33.
As shown in steps q and q of Fig. 6,
If pressed while in the processing state or hiragana, the document creation device 1 shifts to the katakana processing state, and if pressed while in the katakana processing state, the document creation device 1 shifts to the hiragana processing state JjW. .

Furthermore, in step (2) of FIG. 6, when this katakana/hiragana state conversion processing key 41 is pressed during hiragana processing, the process shifts to katakana processing and the next step As you can see, the number of presses is controlled by the variable N, and when this Katakana/Hichikana state conversion processing key 41 is pressed twice or more within the fixed time set in step ) is determined and the normal katakana conversion process begins. If the number of presses here is one, then when this katakana/hiragana state conversion processing key 41 is input, as shown in step ap, the human-written katakana will be converted to kana-kanji and hiragana processing will be performed. transition to.

Further, when the katakana/hiragana state conversion processing key 41 is pressed again after a certain period of time has elapsed, the process shifts to hiragana processing, as shown in step /p).

Note that the kana-kanji conversion process is performed by the CPU 31 via the disk ink face 37 in parallel with the next hiragana, etc. input process (which may be followed by kanji manual processing) on a time-sharing basis. Access (
(Access using address or ID information) and obtain predetermined information regarding kana-kanji conversion. If the converted kanji has a homophone, the floppy disk drive 4 also transfers the information on the homophone to the used phrase area 34e of the memory 34 under the processing of the CPU 31. On the other hand, the selection key 42 of the keyboard 2a is pressed and the step! ,'i), ,a to step (416
The selection is completed by carrying out the homophone selection process shown in FIG. 3 and pressing the execution key 43 in step (3)a. At this time, unselected homophones are stored in the memory 34.
It is deleted from the used phrase area 34e.

By the way, the selection 411 of Chinese characters that have homophones is displayed underlined on the document creation liquid crystal display section 3 and the document creation liquid crystal display section 3a. Then, when one of the homophones and human words is selected, this underline is deleted.

Incidentally, apart from and in parallel with the selection of such homophones, the input processing of kana continues to be performed. When performing such parallel processing, the CPU 31 prioritizes keyboard processing, processes the kana-kanji conversion process in the subsequent free time, and processes the homophone selection process in the free time between these processes. Process. Further, when there are a plurality of locations for selecting such homophones, the selection keys 43 are used to select the homonyms in order from the one inputted first or the one input immediately before.

Here, non-kanji ROM 32 is used without storing the bit patterns of non-kanji in the kanji bit pattern area 20b of the dictionary/kanji pattern floppy 20 because the characters are frequently used and from kana input. This is because processing up to display requires high speed. Furthermore, if the floppy disk drive device 4 is used to process the bit patterns of kanji characters in a portable food processor, it is preferable to use a battery-powered device. This is because it can be made smaller. Furthermore, in this case, even with this configuration, the katakana input part is converted into kanji, so it can be processed slowly.

By the way, there is a dictionary in the floppy disk drive device 4.
When the kanji pattern floppy 20 is installed, the CPtJ 31 accesses the floppy disk drive device 4 for kana-kanji conversion processing, and stores the status information in the memory 34 and other information and data at the corresponding position in the storage area 34a. A flag will be raised.

Further, in a portable battery-powered word processor, it is preferable that the power consumption can be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the floppy disk drive device 4 is provided with a power control section 4C, and when the dictionary/kanji pattern floppy disk 20 is installed, the floppy disk drive device 4 is equipped with a power control section 4C. For example, in the case of DC drive, reduce the power supply to the motor part 4 to about 60% to 80% of the normal voltage, and in the case of pulse drive, reduce the frequency to 40% to 80% of the normal voltage. Reduce the rotation speed to about 70% and keep the rotation speed at about half. Then, when the Kana-Kanji conversion process begins,
That is, when the katagana/hiragana state conversion key 41 on the keyboard 2a is pressed once, the CPU 31 sends a control signal to the floppy disk drive device 4 to set the power supplied to the motor to the normal state. After a certain period of time when the number of rotations reaches , the process moves to kana-kanji conversion processing.

At this time, in order to further reduce power consumption, the power supply to the non-kanji ROM 32 can be cut off, or the power supply can be turned off in a standby state.

In addition, in order to reduce power consumption, the bit pattern area 20b of the kanji in the dictionary/kanji pattern front panel 20 is
A bit pattern area for non-kanji characters may be provided.

Now, if the cancel key 43 on the keyboard 2a is pressed, that job will be canceled and the job will return to the previous job. Further, when the single key 44 is pressed, the vowel key is stored and fixed until the next vowel key is input.

+, 1- ~ Suj + In addition, the vertical movement of the cursor movement key 2b 1 to 7L
)? 7) - The crane itself does not move up and down from the document creation liquid crystal display section 3, but the lines on the display screen move back and forth.

By the way, the present invention is not limited to word processors, but can of course be applied to Japanese language processing systems in general.

The present invention independently comprises a document creation device and a document printing device, and includes a recording medium storing dictionary information and a recording medium storing document information, and the document creation device includes a first document printing device. Since the recording medium drive device is provided and the document printing device is provided with the second recording medium drive device, the document creation device can be realized as a compact device, and the document printing device can be moved independently. Furthermore, created document information can be transmitted via a document floppy disk. Therefore, the document printing device can be placed independently in another location, and when a dot printer or the like is used, the document printing device can be moved to a location where it will not cause too much noise. . Further, the first floppy disk drive device and the second floppy disk drive device are microfloppy disk drive devices as in the embodiment, and the dictionary floppy device is configured to record the dictionary and kanji bit patterns. Then, the power consumption can be reduced and a portable word processor can be realized.
