Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field c] The present invention relates to a ruled line processing device that processes a ruled document.

[Prior art] In conventional ruled line processing devices that can draw ruled lines, in addition to directly inputting the ruled line pattern, marks representing the ruled line pattern are input between characters as a type of funk silan, and then the ruled line pattern is input. There was a method of generating marks and converting them into ruled line patterns. In devices of this type.

(1) If you have only one type of mark and that mark is (2
) is converted to one of the ruled line patterns.

To express a plurality of identical ruled line patterns with one mark.

There was a method called ``(1)'', but only one type of mark was required, but you had to manually enter the same number of marks in the document for each side of the ruled line pattern, and ``method (2)'' required markings with the same ruled line pattern or consecutive marks. In some cases, one mark is sufficient, but there is a drawback that different types of marks are required for each type of ruled line pattern.

[Objective] The object of the present invention is to compensate for the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide ruled line processing that makes it possible to generate multiple types and multiple ruled line patterns that take into account the relative positional relationship with characters using only one mark. The purpose is to provide equipment.

[Summary] Hereinafter, an example of undeveloped IJJ will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the concept of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, in which a mark is input into a first memory using a mark input means. Furthermore, the contents of the first memory are surrounded by ruled lines and stored in the second memory using a ruled line pattern conversion means while taking into account the relative positional relationship between the mark and the character.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the concept of the present invention is shown in Fig. 1. Characters are stored in a memory in a serial state, and vertical division marks and left and right division marks are input into the memory, and characters are stored in the memory using p stages of block formation. It assembles and converts columns into block format documents. To explain further, first input a character string serially in one column as shown in Figure 5(a), and then add 0 between the characters as shown in Figure 5(b) at the place where you want to divide it into blocks. insert.・ has the meaning of dividing the character string into upper and lower blocks, @ has the meaning of further dividing the character string to the left and right within the block, and tabs are set in 4 places to indicate the position of the dividing digit of the vertical block. When the ruled line block key is pressed, a ruled line block 2 is created as shown in FIG. 5(C). The character strings separated by 0 marks are defined as large blocks, and the character strings separated by 0 marks are defined as small blocks. That is, when printing, a block is first divided vertically by the fist mark, and then divided horizontally within the large block by the zero mark.

* is set in three places, and the first * mark means the beginning of the block and also means the horizontal ruled line at the top end.

The second Φ mark also has the meaning of a horizontal ruled line when dividing the block into two upper and lower levels, and the final fist mark signifies the end of the block and has the meaning of drawing a ruled line at the bottom.
The mark means a vertical ruled line corresponding to the set outermost tab column position.

■The mark has the meaning of further dividing blocks left and right within each large block divided vertically by the fist mark, and the digit positions that serve as partitions when creating ruled line blocks exclude the outermost tab digit. Vertical ruled lines are set in order corresponding to the remaining tab digit positions.

In Figure 5(b), there are two consecutive ■ marks between "ki" and rA4, which means that the second block has been omitted and merged with the third block. means. In other words, as shown in Figure 5 (C), there is no vertical ruled line in the third tab column, and the small block character string rABCDEJ is printed as if it overlapped with the vertical ruled line in the second tab column immediately to the left. be.

The printing position of the horizontal ruled line is set aside from the first line, and the second and third line positions are left to the longest line of each small block included in the large block separated by the mark, and then to the next line position. It looks like it will be printed. Therefore, as shown in Figure 5(d), if the second tab digit position is shifted one digit to the left and set, the first large block will expand from 2 lines to 3 lines, and the 2#i-th horizontal ruled line position will be It will automatically shift downward.

On the other hand, the second large block will fit in two lines, so the last horizontal ruled line will go up to the next line.

FIG. 4 shows the document memory BSM in the RAM in FIG.
FIG. 4 is a detailed explanatory diagram of a block memory BRM, a tab memory TBM, a vertical ruled line table TXT, and a small block range table SHT.

The document memory BSM is a serial memory in which character information is stored, and is configured in address order from the beginning.
M (1), BSM (2), generally BSM (
Expressed as i). The block memory BRM has a matrix structure, and addresses are assigned in order from the first digit of the first row, BRM (1, 1), BRM (1, 2), etc.
, generally expressed as BRM(x, y). The tab memory TBM is a memory for storing the set tab digit position, and it is stored in address order from the beginning as TBM(1) and TBM(2).
), generally expressed as TBM(j), the vertical ruled line table TKT is a table that indicates the tab position for each large block, which will be described later, and has a matrix structure, with addresses sequentially starting from the first row. TKT (1,1
), TXT (1,?)000. Generally TKT (p

, 2), SHT (2, 1), , generally SHT(m
, 1), expressed as SHT (m, 2).

P is a printer for printing information stored in the RAM.

Under the above configuration, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 1.
This will be explained with reference to the flowchart in Figure O and examples of memory contents in Figures 11 and 12 (i!J).

When this device is powered on, it first proceeds to step sl in FIG. 6. In step sl, the document memory BSM in the RAM,
Clear the block memory BRM, tab memory TBM, and vertical ruled line table TKT, set the carriage to the home position, set the cursor to the start address of the document memory BSM, and set the carriage position memory CRGM and cursor position memory CRLM to their initial states. .

Thereafter, the process advances to step S2, and the state of waiting for manual input of keys from the keyboard as shown in FIG. 3 is maintained.

If any key has been input, the process proceeds to step S3, where the input key is determined, and the process proceeds to any one of steps 34 to S9.

Step 2 S4 performs processing when the character key CRK is operated. When the 0 character key CRK is operated, a character code is stored in the document memory BSM corresponding to the cursor position memory CRLM. After that.

The cursor advances one step, and at the same time the cursor position memory CR
The contents of LM also advance by l addresses.

In step S5, a process is performed when the carriage right movement key CRGRK or the carriage left movement key CRGRK is operated, that is, when the gear carriage left movement key is operated.

The printer's carriage is moved to the left by one digit, and the contents of the carriage position memory CRGM are decremented by one. Conversely, when the carriage right movement key is operated, the printer's carriage is moved to the one-fold book and A process of adding one to the contents of the carriage position memory CRGM is performed.

In step s6, a process is performed when the cursor left movement key CRRK or the cursor left movement key CRLK is operated, that is, when the cursor left movement key is operated, the content of the cursor position memory CRLM is decreased by one address. , conversely, when the cursor left movement key is operated, the contents of the cursor position memory CRLM are set to 1.
Performs processing to add addresses.

In step s7, tab set processing is performed.

That is, the contents of the carriage position memory CRGM are set in the empty area of the tab memory TBM shown in FIG. 4. As a result, sorting is performed from the smallest digit position. Since the carriage position when the carriage is moved is always stored in the above-mentioned passing carriage position memory CRGM, the tab can be set at the actual carriage digit position. become.

In step S8, tab reset processing is performed.

That is, by looking at the contents of the carriage position memory CRGM, the fourth
If the same carriage position exists among the tab digit positions existing in the tab memory TBM shown in the figure, its contents are cleared, and as a result, the lower address contents in the tab memory are moved up by one address. Therefore, the contents of the tab memory are always entered in numerical order with the lowest carriage digit position.

In step S9, a ruled line block is assembled by referring to the contents of the document memory BSM shown in FIG. 4 and the contents of the tab memory TBM, and the result is stored in the block memory BRM.

Step slo performs print processing.

FIG. 7 shows a detailed explanation of the contents of step s9. This will be explained below with reference to FIG. First step s9
．． The number of large blocks is determined from the number of marks in the document memory at step 1, and is set to the number of large blocks DS in the RAM area.

Next, proceeding to step S9.2, the digit positions of the vertical ruled lines in each large block are determined and a vertical ruled line table TKT is created. This process will be further explained in detail with reference to FIG.

First, in step s9.2.1, pointers and flags are initialized.
, q , i* j − are vertical ruled line tables TKT,
This is a pointer that indicates the address of document memory BSM and tab memory TBM, and is set to 1.0 Next, proceed to step s9.2.2, read the contents of document memo +> s S H, and advance the pointer by one 6. Result step s9
．． Proceed to step 2.3 and branch into three depending on the character content read.

In the case of normal characters, the process advances to step s9.2.4, where the continuous flag RZF is simply cleared to 0, and the process then returns to step s9.2.2 to read the contents of the next document memory BSH. On the other hand, if it is an O character in step s9.2.3, proceed to step s9.2.5 and flag RZ.
Determine F. Further branches occur depending on whether RZF is 0 or 1. If it is 0, it is after a normal character or at the beginning of the document. At this time, since the tab digit is valid, the process proceeds to step s9.2.6 and transfers the contents of the tab memory TBM to the vertical ruled line table TKT. Taking Figure 11 as an example, in the case of the O mark next to "Aiueokaki", the corresponding digit in the tab memory is 6, and as shown in Figure 11 (3), 6 is transferred to the first large block. This is the reason. After the transfer is processed, the pointer j of the tab memory TBM and the horizontal pointer q of the vertical ruled line table TXT are each advanced by one. Further, the continuous flag RZF is set to 1 and the process returns to step s9.2.2.

When the continuous flag RZF is 1 in step s9.2.5, it means that the previous mark was a fist mark or an O mark, and step s
Proceed to 9.2.7. When the above marks are continuous, advance only the pointer j in the tab memory TBM by one to omit the vertical ruled line. In Figure 11 (1), there are two consecutive O marks next to "Aiueokaki", but the vertical ruled line set to this second ■ mark is omitted, so it is as shown in Figure 11 (3). 9 will not be included in the first big block.

Thereafter, the process returns to step s9.2.2.

When the character in the document memory BSM is determined to be a mark in step s9.2.3, the process proceeds to steps s9, 2, a, sets the continuous flag RZF I:1 for a, t, and divides the contents of the tab memory TBM into vertical ruled lines. Transfer to table TKT,
Advance the horizontal pointer of the vertical ruled line table TKT by one 0 Next, proceed to step s9.2.9 Tab memory TBM
Determine pointer 1 of . When j is 1, it is the beginning of the tab column.

That is, it means the beginning of the large block, so the process returns to step s9.2.2. On the other hand, if j is other than 1, it means the last tab digit, that is, the end of the large block, so step s9.
Proceeding to 2.10, the vertical pointer p of the vertical ruled line table TKT is compared with the large block number DS to determine whether the vertical ruled line table has been completed for all large blocks. When p and DS match as a result of comparison, this process ends and the seventh
Return to Figure 59.3. If it is not finished yet, step s9
．． 2. ll, the vertical pointer pt of the vertical ruled line table TXT is advanced by one to prepare for transfer to the next large block. Further, the pointer j of the tab memory TBM and the horizontal pointer q of the vertical ruled line table TKT are set to 1, and the content at the beginning of the tab memory TBM is set to the first row of the vertical ruled line table TKT corresponding to the new large block.

Furthermore, set the horizontal pointer q of the vertical ruled line table TXT to 1.
Proceed and return to step s9.2.2 again.

This step s9.2.8 to step 59.2.11
The meaning of the above process is that one mark has the function of setting vertical ruled lines in two places, the last tab column of two blocks and the first tab column of the next block, so the vertical ruled line table TKT is created twice. Set the tab digit position to 0 or more, as shown in the example in Figure 11 (3), the vertical ruled line table TK
T is completed.

Returning to FIG. 7, in step 59.3, the vertical ruled line table T
The horizontal pointer p of KT and the pointer i of document memory BSM are set to 1.

Next, proceed to step 89.4 to calculate the 414 number of small blocks within one large block and obtain the number S of small blocks in the RAM area.
Set to S. Further, the process proceeds to step 59.5, and the digit range within which each small block fits is determined from the vertical ruled line table TXT. According to the example in FIG. 11 (3), in the first large block, the vertical ruled line positions are 1, 6.12, and therefore there are two small blocks, forming a cloud, 2 to 5, 7 to 12, respectively. 11
It becomes a bar that fits within the digit range. The example shown in FIG. 11 (4) is a table of this.

In step 89.6, the horizontal ruled line information is stored in the block memory.
The details of this process of setting the number of rows and setting the value of the next row in the block row NoLNO will be explained with reference to FIG.

In step s9.6.1 of FIG. 9, the contents of the block memory BRM are checked, a blank row is found, and its action is set in the block row NoLNO. Next, step s9.
Proceed to step 6.2, and set horizontal ruled line marks "-" in the row corresponding to block row NoLNO from the first to the last finger of the digits in the tab memory TBM. Then step s9.6
．． Proceed to step 3 and set 1 to the horizontal pointer q of the vertical ruled line table TKT. The program then proceeds to step s9.6.4, reads the contents of the vertical ruled line table TKT, compares its value with each digit of the tab memory TBM, and branches depending on whether it is the first, last, or middle digit. If it is the first digit, proceed to step s9.8.5.

It is set to the matrix position that will be used, but it is determined by That is, when p is 1, the horizontal pointer q of the ruled line TKT is advanced by one position above it. Further step s9.6
．． Return to step 4 and read the next tab column position again.

It is defined by the contents of the block immediately before the pull TXT. 111 When the tab digit in the previous large block does not exist in the currently read large block.

Step s9.6 where "2" is set and the tab digit exists in the previous large block as well as in the currently read large block.
．． 8, "1" or "" is set in the block memory BRM. Which ruled line pattern to set is determined by whether the vertical pointer p of the vertical ruled line table TXT is 1 or other than 1. When this process is completed, the process proceeds to step s9.6.9 and the block row t'b is changed to change the row of the block memory.
When LNO is incremented by one, the horizontal ruled line is set in the block memory BRK as shown in the example of the first line of FIG. 12(a) and the fourth line of FIG. 12(d). Once such processing is completed, the process proceeds to step 89.7 in FIG.

In step 89.7, the character strings included in the small blocks in the document memory are stored in the block memory BRK at the same time as the vertical ruled line information.
This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1O.

First, in step s9.7.1, the character flag MJF
I: O Clear. This flag is set to 1 when at least one normal character is encountered. This is a necessary flag to know the difference because the φ mark simultaneously means the beginning and end of a blow.

Furthermore, set the value of the block row flklLNo in the horizontal pointer is read and branches depending on its content.0 If it is a normal character, proceed to step s9.7.3, and first set the character flag M
Set JF to 1 and transfer the contents of document memory BSM to block memory BRM. Furthermore, the pointer i of the document memory BSM is advanced by one step s9.7.4
Then, the horizontal pointer y of the block memory BRM is compared with the end digit of the small block range table SHT.

This means checking whether the transfer of one row of the small block has been completed. If they match, the transfer of one line has been completed, and to explain this using the example of FIG. 12(b), this means that up to the second line "Aiue" has been transferred. In that case step s9
．． Proceed to step 7.5 and set all vertical ruled lines as necessary on the transferred lines. Thereafter, the vertical pointer X of the block memory BRM is advanced by one, and the horizontal pointer y is reset to the original digit position SIT (m, l). When this process is completed, the process returns to step s9.7.2.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step s9.7.4 that one row is incomplete, the process advances to step s9.7.6 and the block memory BRM
Advance the horizontal pointer y by one step and proceed to step s9.
Return to 7.2. By repeating this process, as shown in FIG. 12(b), "Aiue" and "Okaki" are transferred.

On the other hand, if the content of the document memory BSM is a * mark or ■ mark in step s9.7.2, step s9.7.7
0 and branches depending on the value of the character flag MJF.
When the character flag MJF is 0, it means the beginning of a large block or small block, so the document memory BSM pointer l
advances by one and returns to step s9.7.2 again to read the next character. When the 0 character flag MJF is 1, the previous character has already been transferred, so the Φ mark and the ■ mark are large blocks or This means the end of the small block and completes this process.
Proceed to figure step S9.8.

Next, in step 39.8, the small block range table SH
Advance the pointer m of T by one. Furthermore, step s9.
In step 9, SS-1 is executed, and as a result, it is determined whether or not all the small blocks in one large block have been transferred to the block memory BRM. If the transfer has not been completed yet, step 59.7 is executed.
Return to When completed, the first
1 figure (1) (1) raiyuytoka3@@ABCDE”
One large block has been transferred, so step s9.1
Go to 0.

In step s9.10, the pointer pe of the vertical ruled line table TXT is advanced by one to prepare for transfer of the next large block.

In step s9.11, the large block number DS-1 is executed to determine whether or not the transfer of character information included in all large blocks has been completed. If the result is not O, step 5
Returning to step 9.4, the transfer is performed from the next large block. If the result of the subtraction is 0, this means that the transfer of the character information of the entire large block has been completed, and the process proceeds to step s9.12.

In step s9.12, processing is performed to transfer the ruled line of the last row of the block to the block memory.

In this process, in the same way as in step S9.6, the ruled line pattern "-" is first set across one line, and then the ruled line patterns "L" and "L" are set according to the contents of the vertical ruled line table TXT.
”, “””. When this process is completed, the block memory BRM is completely completed and becomes as shown in the example of FIG. 12(e).

After forming the block as described above, print key P
When K is operated, the key is identified and slO causes the contents of the block memory to be printed on the printer.

Note that although we have described printing using a printer, the contents of the block memory may also be displayed on a display.

[Effects] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to generate a plurality of types and a plurality of appropriate ruled line patterns taking into consideration the relative positional relationship with characters using only one mark.
