I was trying to realize it.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, such a method of perusing the operation manual to learn the functions of a word processor and how to operate it by reading the operation manual does not make it easy to become familiar with the word processor because it does not directly touch the word processor. There was something like that. Also, in the method of learning the functions and the operation method of the word processor for the operator who is familiar with the word processor, the operator depends on the operator who is familiar with the word processor. There was something like that. Recently, as word processors have become widespread in general offices, the number of opportunities for operators who have never operated word processors or those who only occasionally use them has increased. It has become necessary to provide an appropriate word processor operation method teaching system to such an operator in order to increase the use of the word processor.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation processing apparatus capable of teaching an operator who is not familiar with the operation of a word processor the basic functions of the word processor and an operation method for exerting the functions. .

〔Example〕

 Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples.

The organization chart of the word processor in which the present invention is implemented is shown in FIG.
Shown in the figure. As shown in this figure, the word processor of the present invention is not different from the conventional word processor in terms of organizational structure, and has a main control block 1, a keyboard control unit 2, an analysis execution determination unit 3, an analysis unit 4, a screen code buffer 5, , Display control circuit 6, cursor control unit 7, window control unit 8, kana-kanji conversion control unit 9, undetermined character control unit 10, print code buffer 11, print control circuit 12, display device 24, keyboard 25 and printer 26. It is composed. In the word processor of the present invention configured as described above, basically, when it is necessary to execute the analysis of the keyboard input inputted by the operation of the keyboard 25 by the operator, the analysis unit 4 executes the analysis, The unconfirmed characters are displayed on the display 24, and are converted by the kana-kanji conversion control unit 9 in response to a request from the operator. If the characters are confirmed, they are displayed on the display device 24 and stored in the document memory. The process of creating and editing a document is executed by going through the process.

Next, the operation method teaching method of the word processor according to the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 executed by the main control block 1.

An operator who wants to know the function and operation method of the word processor first reads out the program for executing the flowchart of FIG. The read program first performs an opening process as shown in step 1 of the flowchart of FIG. In this opening process, a title display for clarifying that the program is of the operation method teaching method, and how to proceed with the course in the future are introduced through the screen of the display device 24. Here, an example of a display screen for introducing the way of proceeding with the course is shown as a screen 1 in FIG. 4 (A).
In this way, the display screen of the course progress indicates that the contents of the next teaching will be understood by the operator.

In step 2 following step 1, the program executes a process for explaining the contents of each part of the screen of the display device 24, such as a cursor, a scale, numbers indicating digits, numbers indicating lines, numbers indicating pages, and the like. This description will be performed in a form that can be specifically understood by the operator using the display device 24. An example of a display screen for explaining the cursor is shown in screen 2 in FIG. 4 (B).
Indicated by In this screen 2, the cursor itself is described in text, and "Hello" is automatically displayed with the same movement as when the operator inputs by key operation, thereby explaining how the cursor moves. Become.

In the following step 3, the program executes a process for explaining to the operator how to input hiragana, how to input Roman characters, how to input shift, and the like. This description is executed by requesting the operator to perform specific key operations so that the operator can adjust to the keyboard operation. An example of a display screen for explaining how to input a hiragana is shown on a screen 3 in FIG. 4 (C).
Subsequently, in step 4, the program executes a process for explaining to the operator how to input kanji. In this step, as shown on screen 4 in FIG. 4 (D), an actual example of writing the operator's name in kanji is taken. By requesting the operation, the input method of the kanji will be explained.

In step 5, the program describes a method for executing the setting of the format required when printing by the printer 26. As will be described later in step 6, in this embodiment, as an example, the operation method is learned by having an operator create a new year's card having a predetermined text for teaching the operation method of the word processor. It is configured as follows. From now on, this format setting in the teaching program will require 17 lines, which is the number of lines for the postcard, and the program will not proceed to step 6 unless these 17 lines are set. Is done.

In step 6, the program guides the operator to create a sample document as shown in FIG. 5, using the word processor functions and operation methods learned in the previous steps. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6, this guide method uses, for example, “Kinga”
The operator is instructed to sequentially input the sample documents shown in FIG. 5 as shown in FIG. 5, a keyboard is shown on the display device 24 to sequentially display the characters to be hit, and incorrect input is performed. When there is, a message to that effect is displayed to request the input of a correct character so that the creation of a sample document can be realized. An example of the display screen in step 6 is shown in screen 5 of FIG. 4 (E).

Once the New Year's card of the sample document has been created by the processing in step 6, the program describes a method for executing printing in step 7. Specifically, for example, the contents of the key operation for starting the printing operation and the way of setting the stamp are shown on the display screen of the display device 24.

In the following step 8, the program will explain the arrangement function of these documents provided by the word processor by requesting the operator to arrange the New Year's card created in step 6 in various ways. Become. An example of a display screen for explaining the arrangement function is shown on a screen 6 in FIG. 4 (F). In order to explain the operation of the arrangement function to the operator, the program executes the document arrangement by requesting the operator to perform specific key operations using the display screen of the display device 24 in the next step 9. Will go on. An example of a display screen displayed to execute step 9 is shown in screen 7 of FIG. 4 (G). Then, the program guides the operator in step 10 using the display screen of the display device 24 to save the completed New Year's card on a floppy disk, thereby saving the operator with a document. The processing described in the method (1) will be executed.

When step 10 is completed, the operator has learned the functions and operation methods of the word processor by using the operation method teaching program. Therefore, the program proceeds to step 11, and separates from the operation method teaching program to perform normal operations. Processing for returning to the document creation screen will be executed.

In this flow chart, for example, only the function of the word processor, such as step 2, is described, and there is no key operation for operator response such as inputting a specific numerical value. The operation of the execution key of the keyboard 25 by the operator who understands the description of the function causes the program to proceed to the next step. On the other hand, when the key operation for the operator's response is performed together with the explanation of the function of the word processor as in step 3, for example, the key operation for the operator's correct response is performed. You will go to the steps.

In the description of this embodiment, the case where the operator is requested to input a fixed sample document as shown in FIG. 5 in step 6 has been described. In any case, since the steps after step 7 can be executed and the function and operation method of the word processor can be explained to the operator, the document created in the present invention is prepared in advance as described in this embodiment. It is not limited to a fixed one.

Further, the functions and operation methods of the word processor used in the description of this embodiment are merely examples, and the present invention can be applied to other functions of the word processor such as a copy function and a movement function and an operation method thereof. Need not be explained.

〔The invention's effect〕
