Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a document creation device.

Conventionally, in spreadsheet document creation devices such as word processors, documents with a specific format have been processed.
It is difficult to allocate characters of arbitrary size to arbitrary positions. There is also momentum for the development of document creation devices that use optical character recording devices for inputting characters from handwritten manuscripts.
Manuscripts with a specific format are to be processed, making it difficult to input free-form manuscripts.

It is an object of the present invention to solve the drawbacks of the conventional method and to realize a document creation device that can process even art works such as photographs and graphs.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a document creation device according to the present invention, which is capable of creating documents in any format. First, the functions of each block will be explained, and then the document creation procedure will be explained.

The processing device 1 is a microprocessor, which extracts and executes the program tm stored in the program memory 2, and also executes the program tm stored in the program memory 2, and also executes the program TM of each block via the bus rhino 3. ! IJ #
and data transfer charges. Character assignment is memo IJ
Reference numeral 10 denotes a table memory for storing the position and size of a character frame and a set of character codes, and each item can be added or deleted.

The character pattern memory 11 is a memory for outputting standard character patterns corresponding to character codes.

The display image memory 12 is a bitmap memory that holds character frames and assigned character patterns as one bit image. The display control circuit 13 transfers the contents of the display image memory 12 to a display device 14 constituted by a CRT to perform refresh display. The print image memory 15 holds the allocated character pattern as a bit image, and the contents are printed out from the printing device [17] by the print control circuit 16. key code memory 1
Reference numeral 8 holds character code input or control code input according to the operation of the key-powered device 19 by the operator. A coordinate value memory 20 holds coordinates from a coordinate input device 21, such as a joystick, which can specify arbitrary coordinates.

The coordinates @Fi display control circuit 13 displays the coordinates as a cursor mark on the display device 14.

In addition, in Fig. 2, the character assignment is based on the contents of memory 10, and the
In the figure, the character layout corresponds to the contents of the memory 10 on the display device 1.
This is the content of the display memory 12 displayed in 4. - For example, for character frame 1 in Figure 2, the reference position FiX seat at the top left of the frame is 50 degrees, the Y coordinate is 50, the size of the frame is 75 degrees horizontally, 75 degrees vertically, and this In the frame, it is shown that the kanji character ``bun'' with ward number 429 point number 24 in the JIS kanji code has been assigned. The layout in this character frame 1 results in a result as shown in 11g3 FIG. 31. For character frame 4 in Figure 2, the character code is (0,
0) indicates that no reeds or characters have been allocated, and if 0 is displayed, an empty frame is displayed as shown in FIG.

Next, the procedure for creating a document will be explained according to FIG.

Each procedure in FIG. 4 is performed by the processing device 1 which interprets the control code input by the operator from the key human power device 19 to instruct the start of each procedure, and stores the corresponding program in the program memory 2.
It is realized by identifying and implementing it.

First, in (a) character frame registration, the character frame column shown in FIG. 2 is newly established. According to the operator's instructions from the key human power device 19, a first position value reading procedure 50 and a second coordinate value reading procedure 51 are executed.

That is, the coordinate value corresponding to the cursor position displayed on the display is read out from the coordinate value memory 20, and is read out from the processing device f as the first coordinate value or the second coordinate value.
ll is input. , As a result, a character frame with both coordinates as the end points of the diagonal line is determined. This character frame is based on hand 1@52 υ
The character layout is registered by creating a new character frame field as shown in Figure 2 in Memo IJ 10 and writing the position and size of the frame.

Subsequently, the character layout is performed according to the display step 53, and the newly created frame is written into the display image memory 12 and displayed on the display device 14. Next, in (b) erasing a character frame, the coordinate values specified by the operator are read from the coordinate input device 21 in step 54, and then the character frame including the coordinates is searched in the character layout memory 10, Delete 4IM in the corresponding character frame. When this result is displayed, the specified character frame will be deleted. The procedure of assigning a character code to the character frame created in the procedure (a) or (b) in this way is the 0 character input procedure. That is, a character frame displayed on the display is designated with a cursor, and characters are displayed within the designated character frame. Here, the character code is the key human power device 19 to step 57
A small amount of input is required. This character code is according to step 58,
It is registered by writing the core character code in the character frame corresponding to the cursor coordinates indicated by the coordinate input device 21. Next, in step 59, the frame is written into the display image memory 12, and the character pattern corresponding to the character code is read from the character pattern memory 11, enlarged or reduced according to the size of the frame, and written into the display image memory 12! The information is recorded and displayed on the display device 14. Step 59 is to prepare a plurality of character patterns of different sizes in the character pattern 7 memory 11, select a pattern that is similar in size to the character frame, and write it in the display image memory 12. You can also do that. In addition, in the explanation of character frame registration, we have described the case where one character frame is the target, but it is also easy to register multiple consecutive frames as shown in 33 to 41 in Figure 3. In addition to the diagonal lines at both ends of the frame, you only need to enter the number of minutes to the side of the frame. It is also possible to first write the character layout in the memory 10 in the form of a color manuscript paper.

In this way, registration and deletion of character frames, or character input is realized by editing the contents of Memo I) 10 for the character layout shown in FIG. As a result, the operator can easily perform character assignment in a free format as shown in the display image of FIG. Furthermore, regarding the character layout for memory 1o, the position and size of the character frame and character code are recorded in Figure 2, but in addition to this, the font of the character, the distinction between vertical or horizontal writing, and the mappedness such as color. By combining information, it becomes possible to create documents in a variety of formats.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In addition to the configuration shown in FIG. It enables the creation of documents containing text and the formatting of handwritten characters. However, among the blocks in FIG. 1, the blocks p that are unnecessary in the explanation of the second embodiment may be omitted in FIG. 5. In addition to the program in the i-th embodiment, the program memory Contains input and character processing programs. The scanner 103 is a book that reads the document 106 by optical scanning, and the document image memo! 7104. Note that the image in the document 1 memory 104 and the character frame whose character layout is recorded in the memory 10 are written in an overlapping manner on the display image memory 12, and are displayed in an overlapping manner on the display device ff1l14. The operator can easily know the positional relationship between the image and the character frame. For character layout, the character recognition device 105 cuts out an image corresponding to a designated character frame in the memory 10 from the document image memory 104, recognizes the character, and outputs a character code. The character allocation for this character code is memory 10.
is written into the corresponding character frame tank.

Here, FIG. 6 shows the execution contents of the program stored in the program memory 102, and FIG. 7 shows an example of the display on the display device 14. The operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 will be described below using the program shown in FIG. 6 and the display example shown in FIG.
