DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus such as a document processing apparatus used when a document is created. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for storing input character strings in a storage device sequentially and storing the character strings. The present invention relates to an information processing device and an information processing method for performing an editing process.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, an information processing apparatus such as a document processing apparatus for displaying characters and graphics on a display unit such as a CRT (Cathode-Ray Tube) by using a computer to calculate, store, and control documents and tables has been developed. It is increasingly being created using

The above information processing apparatus usually has a display unit having a display section for displaying a document or a table, an input section such as a keyboard used for inputting characters and the like, and a display section having an input section. And a control unit for controlling the display state and storing the input characters and the like.The control unit stores the characters and the like input from the input unit in the storage device of the control unit and displays the characters on the display unit. And create documents and tables.

Recently, the editing function of the above information processing apparatus has been enhanced, and a document can be created in various formats. One of the editing functions is a "procedure registration / call" function. This is to register a key signal such as a character input by a key operation or the like of the input unit in a predetermined unit, and to call the registered key signal arbitrarily, thereby eliminating the need for the same key operation a plurality of times.
For example, this function is used when the same character string is input a plurality of times or when the same correction of the character string stored in the storage device is performed a plurality of times.

[0005]

However, when the same correction of the character string stored in the storage device is performed a plurality of times by the "procedure registration / call" function, the character string to be corrected is a double-byte character. Alternatively, half-width characters having half the size of full-width characters need to be unified, and if they are not unified, the same correction cannot be performed. Therefore, when using the “procedure registration / call” function, it is necessary to unify the character strings stored in the storage device that performs the same correction into full-width or half-width characters in advance.

[0006] This unified conversion operation is performed by, for example, “full-width conversion /
The operation is performed by operating a “half-width conversion” key or the like. However, in the case of characters such as European characters, kanji, kana, numbers, and symbols such as algebraic symbols, it is determined whether the character string to be corrected from the document or table displayed on the display unit is a full-width character or a half-width character. On the other hand, in the case of a continuous space in which a plurality of spaces, which are space characters, are continuous, a blank display (a state in which nothing is displayed) is displayed on the display unit. The cursor must be moved to each space position to identify whether is a full-width or half-width character. Usually, the continuous space is often used to arrange the character string layout (layout arrangement). Therefore, when this continuous space is uniformly converted to full-width or half-width characters, the continuous There are various problems that a space must be added or deleted in order to correct the layout deviation.

Therefore, according to the present invention, an information processing apparatus and an information processing apparatus capable of uniformly converting a character string stored in a storage device into full-width or half-width characters by a simple operation and reducing the burden on an operator. It is intended to provide a processing method.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. However, in the present invention, the space character indicates a character that is neither printed nor displayed on the display means (hereinafter, the space character is referred to as a space). A special symbol is a type of special character that is not a Western character, a kanji character, a kana, a number, or a space in a character set except for a ruled line.
Periods, parentheses (such as "", [], ()), quotation marks (such as "", ""), algebraic symbols (such as +,-, *, /), and special signs (&,%, $, #, \, Etc.), unit symbols, graphic characters, line breaks, erase characters, extended characters that are not printed by printers, etc.
− (Dash), ... ”.

As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus according to this embodiment has a keyboard 2 as input means for inputting and editing a character string, and stores and stores the input character string.
It has a control unit 1 for editing and controlling each unit, and a display 3 as a display unit for displaying a character string. The character string input from the keyboard 2 is stored in the control unit 1, and The contents are displayed on the display 3. The control unit 1 stores a document memory 4 as storage means for storing a character string input from the keyboard 2 and an edited character string as document data, and stores the character string by operating a “full-width conversion / half-width conversion” key on the keyboard 2. A microprocessor 5 having a function of uniformly converting a character string stored in the device into a full-width character or a half-width character having half the size of a full-width character.

The microprocessor 5, the space detector 6 as a detection means, spaces count unit 7 as the counting means, em space counting section 8 as counting means, converting
Transformation space speed computing unit 9 as a means, as a conversion means
, A conversion half-width space holding unit 10 as a conversion unit, and a conversion processing unit 12 as a conversion unit. Hereinafter, the operation of each unit of the microprocessor 5 will be described by taking as an example a case in which a space is uniformly converted among spaces and special symbols to be converted.

The space detecting section 6 detects a space from the document data stored in the document memory 4 and identifies whether the space is a full-width character or a half-width character.
The space detection unit 6 has a built-in switching means for switching the display of the detected space on the display 3 from a blank display to a predetermined symbol display such as a full-width or half-width “□” display. Half-width space counting unit 7
Counts the number of spaces of single-byte characters (hereinafter, referred to as single-byte spaces ) from a continuous space (interval character string) in which a plurality of spaces are detected by the space detection unit 6. Similarly, the double-byte space counting unit 8 counts the number of double-byte character spaces (hereinafter referred to as double-byte spaces) from the continuous space.

The conversion space number calculation unit 9 converts the number of spaces counted by the single-byte space counting unit 7 and the double-byte space counting unit 8 into a single-byte character or a single-byte character. Calculate the number of spaces after. The conversion half-width space holding unit 10 holds the half-width conversion space number calculated by the conversion space number calculation unit 9. Similarly, the conversion full-width space holding unit 11 stores the full-width conversion space number calculated by the conversion space number calculation unit 9. The conversion processing unit 12 converts the character data of the space in the document data stored in the document memory 4 based on the respective conversion space numbers stored in the conversion half-width space holding unit 10 and the conversion full-width space holding unit 11. I do.

The character data in the document data stored in the document memory 4 is composed of a character code and attribute bits (attribute-bit) as shown in FIG. Since the length of this character data is fixed, the remaining bits of the character code are used as attribute bits. The attribute bit has at least two bits, and one bit (for example, FIG.
Use a) to indicate whether the characters are full-width or half-width,
For example, the presence or absence of an underline, which is a kind of character decoration, is indicated by another one bit (for example, A in FIG. 2). Therefore, when the space detection unit 6 detects that this character is, for example, a space in the character code portion, it checks the attribute bit to identify whether the space is a full-width character or a half-width character, The presence or absence of a line is also determined. still,
As the character decoration, there is, for example, shading in addition to the underline, and the presence or absence of the shading is indicated by another attribute bit.

In the above configuration, the processing procedure of the information processing apparatus when converting, for example, a space into a full-width character or a half-width character among the spaces and special symbols in the document data stored in the document memory 4 is shown in FIG. This will be described below with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 and FIG.

First, from the function menu 20 displayed on the display 3, “unify” with the keyboard 2.
Is selected and input to instruct the start of full-width / half-width unified conversion (S1, FIG. 6A). Then, the space detector 6
Detects a space from the document data stored in the document memory 4 and changes the space from a blank display (a state in which nothing is displayed) to a full-width or half-width “□” display (symbol display) by a built-in switching means. ), And enters an instruction waiting state (S2, FIG. 6B). When "space" is selected and input with the keyboard 2 from the function menu 20 displayed on the display 3, an instruction is made to indicate that the space portion in the document data is to be subjected to the full-width / half-width unified conversion (S3). Since the function menu 20 is switched, the user selects whether to unify to full-width or half-width by using the keyboard 2 and inputs it (S4, FIG. 6).
(C)).

The full width of S1 to S4 by the keyboard 2 /
When the instruction to start the half-width unified conversion is completed, the control unit 1 checks whether the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the sentence (S5). If the cursor is not located at the beginning of the sentence, the control unit 1 positions the cursor at the beginning of the sentence (S6). The cursor position is moved one character at a time until a space is detected by the unit 6.
When the space is detected (S7), the counting of the full-size space and the half-size space is started (S8), and the attribute bit for full-size / half-size display is checked (S9). ₁ double-byte space number 1
One counting up (S10), if the half-width a space number Y ₁ in spaces counting unit 7 is counted up by one (S11).

Next, the cursor position is moved by one character (S12), and it is determined whether or not the next character data continuously forms a space (S13). If the next character data is a space, the process returns to S9 and the above steps are performed again. By repeating this process until the space breaks, the full-width and half-width numbers of the continuous space can be accurately counted even if the full-width and half-width characters are mixed.
In step S13, the space detector 6 also checks the underline display attribute bit at the same time to determine the presence or absence of the underline. Therefore, when the display of the underline is changed, the counting can be performed while distinguishing between the space having the underline and the space having no underline.

If it is determined in S13 that the next character data is not a space, the counting of the full-width and half-width numbers of the continuous space is terminated (S14), and the process proceeds to the calculation of the number of spaces to be converted.

First, it is determined whether the unified conversion selected in S4 is the full-width unified conversion or the half-width unified conversion (S4).
15). If full-width unified conversion is selected, and checks the number of count spaces number Y ₁ being counted spaces count unit 7 (S16), byte number space in transformation space speed computing unit 9 if an even number A value obtained by multiplying Y ₁ by _１ ／ is defined as X ₂ (S 17), and a value obtained by adding the number of full-size spaces X ₁ counted by the full-size space counting unit 8 to this X ₂ is defined as a conversion full-size space number X. Holder 1
It is held at 1 (S18). After that, the conversion processing unit 12
The character data of the continuous space to be converted in the document data is converted into character data of double-byte spaces of the same number as the conversion double-byte space number X stored in the conversion double-byte space holding unit 11 (S19). Note that the underline display attribute bits do not change before and after this conversion. Therefore, for example, character data of a continuous space to be converted having an underline is converted to character data of a double-byte space having an underline.

The number of half-width spaces Y ₁ checked in S16
Number of count 1 is subtracted from the spaces number Y ₁ in transformation space speed computing unit 9 if an odd number, and the further half times the value as X ₂ (S20), em space counting unit 8 in the X ₂ The value obtained by adding the number of full-width spaces X ₁ counted in the above to the conversion full-size space number X is used as the conversion full-size space holding unit
While the number of half-size spaces Y _{1 is} subtracted from the number of half-size spaces Y _1, and the converted half-size space Y (= 1) is stored in the conversion half-size space holding unit 10 (S 2).
1). Then, the conversion processing unit 12 converts the character data of the continuous space to be converted in the document data into character data of the full-width space having the same number as the conversion double-width space number X held in the conversion double-width space holding unit 11 and the conversion half-width. The number of converted half-width spaces Y (=
It is converted into the same number of half-width space character data as in 1) (S22). Note that the underline display attribute bits are not changed before and after this conversion, as in S19.

If it is determined in S15 that the half-width unified conversion is selected, the value obtained by doubling the number of full-width spaces X ₁ counted by the full-width space counting section 8 is set to Y ₂ (S2
3), to hold the conversion spaces holding portion 10 a value obtained by adding a space number Y ₁ being counted byte space counting section 7 in the Y ₂ as the conversion spaces number Y (S2
4). Thereafter, the conversion processing unit 12 converts the character data of the continuous space to be converted in the document data into character data of the same number of half-width spaces as the number of conversion half-width spaces Y held in the conversion half-width space holding unit 10 ( S25).
Note that the underline display attribute bits do not change before and after this conversion. Therefore,
For example, character data of an underlined continuous space to be converted is converted to character data of an underlined half-width space.

When the full-width / half-width unified conversion of the continuous space to be converted is completed as described above, the space detector 6
Moves the cursor position one character at a time until a space is detected again (S26).
The calculation processing of S25 is repeatedly performed. When the full-width / half-width conversion of all the spaces in the document data is completed (S27), the function menu 20 displayed on the display 3 is switched to an instruction waiting state (S28, FIG. 6D). At this time, the unified converted continuous spaces are lined up on the display 3 in a full-width or half-width "□" display, so that the operator can confirm the completion of the full-width / half-width unified conversion on the display 3. .

Subsequently, when the full-width / half-width unified conversion of the special symbol such as the leader "@" or the dash "-" is not performed, "End" is selected from the function menu 20 displayed on the display 3 by the keyboard 2. Select and input, and complete the full-width / half-width unified conversion (S29, FIG. 6 (e)). At this time, the display of the continuous space on the display 3 is returned from the full-width or half-width “□” display to the blank display by the switching means built in the space detection unit 6. On the other hand, when the full-width / half-width unified conversion of the special symbol such as the leader “‥” or the dash “−” is subsequently performed, the “reader” or the “dash” is selected by the keyboard 2 from the function menu 20 displayed on the display 3. Select and input, and perform the processing of S4 to S29 again.

Next, referring to FIG. 7, a specific example of the unified conversion of the space in the document data stored in the document memory 4 into full-width or half-width characters of a reader and a dash will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), when a continuous space consisting of three half-width spaces and two full-width spaces is uniformly converted into half-width spaces, it is converted into seven half-width spaces. This conversion is performed in S23 of the above-described flowchart.
4 to (Y ₂ ) obtained by doubling the number of full-width spaces 2 (X ₁ ) counted by the full-width space counting unit 8 in S25 to
7 (Y) obtained by adding the number of half-size spaces 3 (Y ₁ ) counted in the half-size space counting unit 7 is stored in the conversion half-size space holding unit 10, and then, in the conversion processing unit 12, Is converted into character data of the same number of half-width spaces as the number of conversion half-width spaces 7 (Y) held in the conversion half-width space holding unit 10.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the half-width space 3
When a character and one double-byte space have an underline and one double-byte space has no underline and continuous space is converted to one-byte half-width, there are five single-byte spaces with an underline and an underline. Is converted to two single-byte spaces. In this conversion, in step S13 of the above-described flowchart, the space detection unit 6 checks the underline display attribute bit to determine the presence or absence of the underline, and distinguishes between the space with the underline and the space without the underline. This is done by counting.

As shown in FIG. 7C, the half-width space 4
If a continuous space in which characters and two full-width spaces are mixed is converted to full-width unified conversion, it is converted into four full-width spaces. This conversion is performed in S17 of the above-described flowchart.
2 (X ₂ ) obtained by _１ ／ multiplying the half-width space number 4 (Y ₁ ) counted by the half-width space counting unit 7 in S19 to S19.
Then, 4 (X) obtained by adding the number of full-width spaces 2 (X ₁ ) counted in the full-width space counting unit 8 to the conversion full-width space holding unit 11 is stored.
The conversion is performed by converting the character data of the above continuous space in the document data into character data of the same number of full-width spaces as the conversion double-byte space number 4 (X) held in the conversion double-byte space holding unit 11.

As shown in FIG. 7D, the half-width space 3
When a continuous space consisting of a character and two full-width spaces is converted to full-width unified conversion, it is converted into three full-width spaces and one half-width space. This conversion is performed by the half-width space counting unit 7 in S20 to S22 of the above-described flowchart.
1 is subtracted from the number of half-width spaces 3 (Y ₁ ) counted in the above, and 1 (X ₂ ) obtained by further halving is added to the number of full-width spaces 2 (X ₁ ) is stored in the conversion full-width space holding unit 11, while the half-width space for one character subtracted from the number of half-width spaces Y ₁ is set as the conversion half-width space 1 (Y). It is held in the holding unit 10. Then, the conversion processing unit 12 converts the character data of the continuous space in the document data into character data of the full-width space of the same number as the conversion full-width space number 3 (X) held in the conversion full-width space holding unit 11. Is converted to character data of the same number of half-size spaces as the number of half-size spaces 1 (Y) held in the conversion half-size space holding unit 10.

As shown in FIG. 7E, the half-width space 3
When a character and one double-byte space have an underline, and a continuous space in which one double-byte space does not have an underline is converted to two-byte unified characters, two double-byte spaces with an underline and one-byte space with an underline One character and one double-byte space character without underline are converted. In this conversion, in step S13 of the above-described flowchart, the space detection unit 6 checks the underline display attribute bit to determine the presence or absence of the underline, and distinguishes between the space with the underline and the space without the underline. This is done by counting.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (f), when a continuous reader (special symbol string) consisting of four half-width readers and two full-width readers is converted into full-width unified characters, it is converted to four full-width readers. You. This conversion is performed by multiplying the full-width space count by 2 (X ₂ ) obtained by halving the number of half-width readers 4 (Y ₁ ) counted by the half-width space counting unit 7 in S17 to S19 of the above-described flowchart. 4 (X) obtained by adding the number of full-width readers 2 (X ₁ ) counted to the unit 8 is stored in the conversion full-width space holding unit 11, and thereafter, the conversion processing unit 12 performs the above-mentioned processing in the document data. The conversion is performed by converting the character code of the continuous leader into the character code of the full-width reader having the same number as the number of converted full-width readers 4 (X) held in the conversion full-width space holding unit 11. Note that the converted reader is displayed on the display 3 as shown in [].

As shown in FIG. 7 (g), when a continuous dash consisting of four half-width dashes and two full-width dashes is subjected to full-width unified conversion, it is converted to four full-width dashes. This conversion is performed in steps S17 to S1 in the above-described flowchart.
The half-width dash count counted by the full-width space counting unit 8 is calculated as 2 (X ₂ ) obtained by halving the half-width dash number 4 (Y ₁ ) counted by the half-width space counting unit 9 at 9. 2 (X
4) (X) obtained by adding ₁ ) is converted to a full-size space holding unit 1
The conversion processing unit 12 then converts the character code of the continuous dash in the document data into the conversion double-byte dash number 4 stored in the conversion double-byte space storage unit 11.
This is performed by converting to the same number of double-byte dash character codes as (X). The converted dash is displayed on the display 3 as shown in [].

As described above, the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment
Use simple operations to insert space characters and special symbols up to a predetermined number of half-width characters.
Or, it can be unifiedly converted to full-width characters , and there is no need to correct the gap in the layout of the character string after this space character or special symbol. Further, it is not necessary to apply character decoration again to the space character or the like after the unified conversion, and the operator can easily confirm the completion of the unified conversion on the display, so that the burden on the operator can be reduced. .

Accordingly, the space character or special symbol can be changed to half-width characters or full-width characters by a simple operation without changing the layout of the character string.
Since it can be unifiedly converted to square characters , for example, when the same correction of a character string stored in the document memory is performed a plurality of times using the “procedure registration / call” function, the operator's The burden can be reduced.

In the information processing method for displaying a character string, an interval character is searched from a stored character string, and a full-width character is replaced by a half-width character without changing the layout of the character string after the interval character. In this configuration, the characters are uniformly converted into half-width characters so as to be equivalent to two characters.

Therefore, the space character can be unifiedly converted into half-width characters by a simple operation, and it is not necessary to correct the layout deviation of the character string after the space character, so that the burden on the operator can be reduced. This has the effect.

Further, in the information processing method according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the input full-width and half-width are mixed as described above.
Character string containing the space character to be
In the information processing method for displaying a character string, the stored character string is searched for the continuous space character, and a half-width character among the space characters is changed without changing the layout of the character string after the space character. 2 half-width characters are 1 full-width characters
In this configuration, the characters are uniformly converted to full-width characters so as to be equivalent to characters.

Therefore, the space character can be uniformly converted to the full-width character by a simple operation, and it is not necessary to correct the layout deviation of the character string after this space character, so that the burden on the operator can be reduced. This has the effect.

Therefore, the space character and the special symbol can be changed to a predetermined number of half-width characters by a simple operation without changing the layout of the character string.
Alternatively, since the characters can be unifiedly converted to full-width characters , for example, when the same correction of the character string stored in the storage device is performed a plurality of times using the “procedure registration / call” function, the operator is significantly more compared with the conventional case. Burden can be reduced. Furthermore, if the space characters and special symbols are converted so as to increase the number of full- width characters, two half-width characters are converted to one full-width character, and the characters stored in the storage means are correspondingly converted. There is an effect that the data amount of the column can be reduced.
