Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to a method for changing the ruled lines of word processors, office computers, and other data processing devices that disrupt the display and setting functions of W1, and in particular, A ruled line type that simplifies the complicated operations when changing the line type of already set ruled lines, prevents operational errors, and reduces processing time, improving operator processing efficiency when operating ruled lines. Concerning how to change.

Conventional word processors and other data processing devices are connected to a display device for tabulation and data input/output operations, and the operator uses the display screen and ViL to create documents, tabulate data, and perform data input/output operations. C performs operations such as corrections.

In this case, especially in tabulation operations, a large number of ruled lines are required, and in order to obtain a table that is easier to read, the ruled line line 1! , lf often arise.

Methods for changing the line orientation of ruled lines that have been used since the beginning of the 1st century can be broadly classified into JA types.

The /th line type changing method is a method of once erasing the already set ruled line and resetting the ruled line of a new line type.

In this first change method, ruled lines are deleted and new ruled lines are set, so the operation is complicated.

FIG. 1 is an example of a screen display for explaining an operation method for erasing, setting, and changing the line types of seven ruled lines. In the drawings, a and 1] indicate the positions of the starting and ending points of the ruled line.

This figure 1 is an example of changing a solid line to a dotted line. First, move the cursor to the real 1f3rl a~1] position fij, change to ruled line erase mode, and change the solid line to a dotted line. Erase.

Next, change to the border setting mode and move the cursor to positions a and b.
Specify the range of the ruled line, that is, its length, by moving to . Furthermore, in this case, the one-dot line type is selected and dotted ruled lines a to b are set.

By using the conventional first line type change method, seven ruled lines a%
In order to change the line type of b, such a complicated operation is required: changing the mode once, specifying the ruled line to be erased seven times, and specifying the starting point and ending point of the new ruled line each time. A total of 7 operations, 7 selections of the line type, and 7 operations each for erasing and setting operations, a total of λ operations, require a total of 7 operations.

Furthermore, depending on the match, there may be cases where it is desired to change the line type for only a portion of the seven ruled lines.

FIG. 1 is an example of a double-sided display for explaining an operation method for changing only a portion of seven ruled lines by the same erasing operation and setting operation. In the drawings, C-C
] indicates the position of the starting point or ending point of t+Ri, respectively.

FIG. 2 is an example of a case where a part of the seven solid lines C to (1) is changed to a dotted line.

In this case, first move the cursor to the target ruled line c - d
, update to the line erase mode, and perform the erase operation.

Then, after deleting the solid line C% d, change to the ruler setting mode, move the cursor to specify positions C and e to set the range, select the dotted line type, and select the dotted line. Set rule 19 c - e.

Next, by operating the cursor again, specify the digits 16', e, and d to set the range, select the solid line type, and set solid ruled lines e - d.

Through such operations, a portion C as shown in FIG.
%c is changed from a solid line to a dotted line.

In the first conventional method of changing the &l profit of a ruled line using an erasing operation and a setting operation, such complicated operations are required in order to change the line type of only a part of the ruled line. In other words, the mode was changed 1 times, the ruled line to be deleted was specified 7 times, and the starting and ending points of the new ruled line were specified 2 times each.
It takes a total of 3 times to select the line type and 3 times to perform erasing and setting, and /) times on the money side.

As described above, in the first conventional line type changing method, in order to change the line type of seven ruled lines or a portion thereof, 1. An extremely complicated operation is required, and if there are a large number of target ruled lines, you may need to specify the target ruled lines or set them again.
There is a high possibility that an operational error will occur when specifying the starting and ending points. And, if you accidentally change the line type of the ruled line ρ, which is not applicable, to correct it,
Similar operations are required. Furthermore, since it is inevitable to determine the positions of the starting point and the ending point, if the target ruled line is long, there are many disadvantages such as it takes time to move the cursor between them.

The reason for this inconvenience is that in the case of the first method, information on the length of the line or position information on the start and end points of the ruled line to be changed in line 11 is not retained at the stage of the first deletion operation. This is because there is no

Next, #i of the Ωth, which has been done conventionally! By overwriting the target line whose line type you want to change, and by setting a new line type rule to the target line that has already been set, This is a method of erasing the original line type ruled line and setting a new S1 type Mrr record.

FIG. 3 is an example of a screen display for explaining an operation method for changing the line 11i (of seven ruled lines) by superimposing a new line pair of ruled gaps (on the target ruled line).

In the drawing, f and g are the starting point of the ruled line (!: the ending point (r7
1H.

g' indicates 91M position 1'6 on the right side of the screen.

This FIG. 3 is an example of case J in which the solid line f=g is changed to the dotted line fg by the overwriting method.

In this first method of changing the line type using the overwrite method,
The already set ruled lines to be changed can be specified by specifying the upper and lower or left and right sides of the cursor position, and the length of the ruled line 1 to be cut is determined from the cursor position 11t. It is set downward or to the right up to the extreme end of the picture m1. Therefore, it is necessary to indicate the extra ruled line by moving the cursor 1r/+ and similarly erase the portion below or to the right of that position.

Corrected the operation for changing one gland type in the display example of [31st Σ] ii*
, is as follows.

First, move the cursor to the target ruled line Itf and change to the rasa setting mode. Next, select a different line Sr, in this case select the dotted line type, and execute the settings. The length is up to 1Pl''g' at the right edge of the screen.

So, move the cursor to position g and enter the erase mode.
and erase the portion from position g to the right, that is, from g to g'.

Such an operation is required for the line O/[change operation using the conventional overwriting method. In other words, the mode change force is 3.2 times, the target ruled line to be written twice is specified / times, the start point of setting and erasing is instructed 7 times each, for a total of 1 times, and the operation to execute setting and erasing is performed 7 times. Seven operations are required for each operation, for a total of seven operations.

In addition, if only a portion of the seven ruled lines is to be changed using this two-pronged method of changing the line type, the operation becomes even more complicated.

FIG. 7 is an example of a screen for explaining the operation method when changing the line type of only a portion of seven ruled lines by overwriting. In the drawing, h-j
are the positions of the starting and ending points of the ruled line, ! ' indicates the right edge position on the screen.

This FIG. 7 is an example of changing the left side part h~'' of /nut ah-i to a dotted line.

First of all, 1st place in cursor movement? , th, change to the ruled line setting mode, select the dotted line type, and set the dotted ruled line h-i'.

Next, move the cursor to specify position IFJ,j, select the solid line type, and set solid ruled lines J to i'.

After that, specify position i by cursing and moving, change to ruled line erase mode, and move to the right! Delete l to 1'.

In this way, +At flf of only a part of the seven ruled lines
To change the , it takes 1 times to change the mode, 7 times to specify the target ruled line, 3 times to specify the starting point, 2 times to select the line type, and 3 times to perform settings and deletions. Requires multiple operations for each machine.

In short, even with this first conventional line type changing method, complicated operations are required to change the line type of seven ruled lines or a part of them, especially when the target ruled lines are long or When the number of lines is large, there is a risk that an operation error will occur. Also, as explained in relation to Figure 3 and Figure M7, changing the line type requires setting and erasing operations, so for example, the last erasing operation erases the part that extends to the right. If you accidentally instruct erasure in the left direction, you will have to change the line type again.

Even in the case of this first warehouse type change method, the information about the length of the ruled line to be obtained, that is, the line type change target line, is not stored in memory, etc., so operation 1/ - If you change HA r=+ for a ruled line that is not the target due to a mistake, in many cases you will have to start over from the beginning of 11ψ.

Therefore, the ruled line line type changing method C of the present invention eliminates these disadvantages in the conventional line type changing method, and also simplifies A''': 8 work for changing the line type. The processing time is also shortened and the burden on the operator is reduced.1

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of changing the line type of ruled lines in the circuit of FIG.

The flowchart in FIG. 9 shows the most preferred embodiment of the method of changing line drawings of the present invention. I can do it.

In other words, in the 'l="r 'll'l setting mode, it is determined whether the specified cursor position or a ruled line that has already been set is specified, and if no ruled line exists, a new ruled line is set. The operation is the same as the conventional method.

On the other hand, if there are already set all' lines, the mode shifts to the ruled &&jl line type change mode.

In this ruled line line 10;ν change mode, specify the range for changing the line type of the target ruled line, but if this range specification is omitted, it is determined that the entire 7 ruled lines are changed to line 8L. , change the entire line to the specified line type, as shown in Figure S above.

If the change range of the target ruled line is specified.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the current cursor Gl' t:
:'t.

and its left direction are specified, the range of part of the molecule n%O of the seven horizontal ruled lines, or as shown in Figure 7 above,
When the current cursor I3'l M r and its upper direction are specified, the range of part p-1 of seven vertical ruled lines is changed to the specified line type by C.

In addition, in the line type changing method of the present invention shown in FIG. 9, when the ruled line type changing mode ζ is shifted to
By using the next key, it is possible to decide whether to continue this line type change mode or to shift to another mode.

Therefore, while setting a new ruled line, if you want to change the line type for the line type that has been set once, you can change all or part of the seven ruled lines by simply giving the range (!: line type). 1i11I! Changing God instantly becomes uJ Noh.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the display layout of the display device 14 in ruled line operation.

As shown in FIG. 70, both sides of the front side of 1 display device) are
It is divided into an editing area and a Kaidan area.

The following 1/Figure and 1. ,! The figures each show an example of the display of the guidance area for the ruled line π+j operation.

Moreover, FIG. 73 (1, j to (3)) is a display example of the editing area when all seven ruled lines are changed from thick lines to dotted lines. In the drawings, A and B indicate cursor positions.

Next, while referring to Figures 3 and 7θ to Figures 73 (1) to (3), we will explain the net profit of this invention when the entire seven ruled lines are changed. The operation of the kesasara method will be explained.

First, in order to specify the target ruled line, the cursor is moved from position A to position B, as shown in FIG. 73(1).

Specifically, when an instruction to move the cursor is given from the operating section / in FIG. 3, the cursor fu control 7++'Ib outputs the cursor to the display device S, and the cursor is displayed at the position (t(B-).

Here, when the mode is changed to the ruled line mode, guidance as shown in Figure 1 is displayed in the guidance area of the display device.

In the circuit shown in FIG. 3, the sequential comparison circuit 7 starts driving at this point, sequentially calls out the stored ruled line information from the set ruled line table //, and fJ7. Cursor f☆ - Compare with expansion information, 1 with cursor
11 L'1 of the determined position 11'-t-. ii! :i! Explore.

Such sequential comparison is repeated until the end of the set route chiful.

If the corresponding ruled line is not seen, it will automatically
1) Shift to line setting mode and wait for the next key input.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
, the sequential comparison circuit 7 outputs an output to the ruled line side (IR1 circuit 10) to request that the display of the specified ruled line be changed to a display that can be distinguished from other displays. In FIG. 73 (2), 6J, 7
Although it is shown as being displayed using a dotted chain line, a display method such as a high brightness IJI display or a blinking display can be used for the actual display.

Simultaneously with such display change of the target ruled line, the sequential comparison circuit 7 stores the ruled line information in the corresponding ruled line storage area g.

At this point, if the r/l-1 key is pressed according to the direction display shown in FIG. 1, the line type change mode is selected and the direction display changes as shown in FIG. 7.2. That is, the mode is changed to the line type change mode, and the mode waits for input of the change range of the intersection ruled line.

To specify the changed flirt frame, as in the chitance display in Figure 1, "/" is upward and [21 is downward.% 1-3
'' is the left direction, and i-q -1 is the right direction.

In the cases of Fig. 73 (1) to (3), the entire ruled line is changed to a dotted line, so the designation of "/" to "g" is omitted, and the "/" in Fig. 7.2 is changed. Select and press the 7-1 key from among the thick line for ``Shio'', the thin line for ``Otsu-1'', and the dotted line for ``7''.

Line type information indicating the line type of this dotted line is stored in the line type storage area TA in FIG. 3. At the same time, the ruled line: til is transmitted from this line's 4-car storage area via the control circuit 10.

The display device is awe-inspiring, and its editing area is
The ruled lines changed to dotted lines as shown in FIG. 73(3) are displayed.

The A-perator confirms the changed Kokichi to the desired character 1111 on the screen display of FIG. 73 (3) and instructs its execution.

With this execution instruction, the ruled line information stored in the corresponding ruled line storage area g and the line type information stored in the line type storage area S are transferred to the set scrap line table //, and the line f11
1 change operation is completed. Note that when changing the line type of all seven w'1 lines, the input operation of information instructing the change 1ilij 17TI is omitted.

The change range storage area game stores information indicating that the entire target pruning area is the change range, is set at the time of execution, and is transferred to the one-line table // along with other information.

The following Figures 1I1 (1) to (5) are display examples of the editing area when all or part of the 57 thin lines are changed to dotted lines. In the drawing, A and C indicate the cursor position.

First, the operation for changing the ch +tlli line in Figure 14/(1) to a dotted line as in Figure 1 (3) is as explained in connection with Figure 73 F+) to (3) above. and 2.1
Basically the same.

However, in the display example shown in FIG. 711(1), the target ruled line is specified at the cursor position C.

However, in the setting ruled line thinning table //, the hip line information is included in the starting point (!) and ending point information, so the starting point (!
l: When specifying between the end point and the end point, the sequential ratio I bit line 7 searches for the specified ruled line 11 (IC). Therefore, when changing the line type of all seven ruled lines, , the cursor position may be C or B.

A simple explanation of the operation method. To avoid errors, move the cursor as shown in the first figure (tl), change to ruled line mode, and specify the cursor position with 15C as shown in the first figure (2). The ruled lines will change to a special display. In this state, the caitance display is displayed as shown in Figure 1, so "
Select “G” and select Line U! Enter change mode. The guidance display changes as shown in Fig. 72, and when you select the dotted line "7", the 117th. The "compensation" line changed to a dotted line as shown in Figure (3) is displayed in the editing area.Here, the execution is indicated by 4h, which is the ruled line whose line type was changed to a 1-dotted line.1. Setting old line table // is stored, and the line type change is completed.

Next, J′1, glue only part of the line! When changing species, for example, from Fig. 11I (1) to Fig. 111. We will investigate the case where the right half of the ruled line is changed from a thin line to a dotted line as shown in Figure (4).

The display in the editing area changes from ) to (2) in the first diagram.

The operation for changing the guidance display from 1/figure to 1:2 is the same as when changing the line type of all seven ruled lines.

Then, in the editing Golia, the target ruled line is shown in Figure 1/1 (2)
When the 4b type is displayed as shown in FIG. 72, and the 1 line is displayed in the kaidance area as shown in FIG. 72, it is sufficient to first input information specifying the change range and then provide information specifying the line type.

Zunawaji, change the target ruled line#ii) Listen and input [-ri] to specify the right direction from cursor position II C5
Furthermore, input "7" to specify a dotted line as the line type, and the display in the editing area will change to 111. At the stage shown in Figure (4), instruct the execution.

7, as shown in Figure 1 (1) to Figure 1 (5).
If you want to change the left half of the thin lines of a book to dotted lines, input "3" to specify the left direction from the cursor fi'f C to the change range of the target ruled line, and then input the line type information "
7” will be given.

In this way, the operation of changing the line type of only a part of the seven ruled lines can be performed much more easily than with the conventional method. - Even when refilling, it is easy to do so by not repeating the operations shown in Figures 11I-(1) and (4), or Figures (1) and (5) in Figure 74. can be implemented.

In addition, in the method of changing the line type of the present invention, even if the operation necessary for changing the line type is completed, until the execution is input, the ruled line information to be changed that is currently being processed will be changed within the change range. Storage area game, line god storage area data, and corresponding ruled line storage area g
Therefore, if you want to change the line type of a ruled line again after finishing changing the line type and before specifying the actual line, the guidance display shown in Figure 7.2 will be displayed. Therefore, the line type can be easily changed again by simply selecting the change range designation "/" to "ri" and the designation of the line I Φ to the left or to the left. Furthermore, these changes 1・i
J. Transferring the information stored in the circuit assembly area and the corresponding ruled line storage area g in the upper left of the line type storage area to the setting ruled line table // does not necessarily need to be performed by inputting execution, but as a primary operation. For example, change the mode or move the cursor! ii1. When a +kasa is performed, it is also possible to transfer it by those inputs.

Similarly, such a line type change can be changed to new J, ↓ thing U′ +
This can be done even during the H1 setting operation, and a new rule AJ1
)'s 11'] information in the new standard v11 storage area J,
With the line type information stored in the line 1f storage area, specify the newly set W, the entire line or a part of it, and specify the line (4'), which is already set. In the case of changing the line type of the selected Naraya line
With the 3rd JlS-style hood/crop, it is possible to change the line type or make it L.

As explained in detail above, in the ruled line changing method of the present invention, the target ruled line information that stores information of the target ruled line to change the line type is sent to the data processing device fj that has the function of displaying and setting ruled lines. By providing a storage means and a line type information storage means for storing the line rod information, and specifying a ruled line to be changed in line type and its line value from the operation section, it is possible to change the specified ruled line to 1. But God allows it to change.

Furthermore, so that it is possible to change the line type of only a part of the seven target ruled lines, the target ruled line information can be stored so that information specifying the range of the target WF line, that is, its position and change direction can be stored. By configuring the means, you can simply specify the line type change range and line type of the target ruled line.
You can change the line type of only the specified part.

Effect Therefore, the line a! of the 1f5F line of this invention! According to the changing method, it is possible to change the line type of seven ruled lines or a portion thereof, which requires an extremely complicated operation in the conventional changing method, with only an extremely simple operation.

That is, if you want to change the line type of all seven ruled lines that have already been set, you only need to specify the target ruled line to change the line type by operating the cursor and select that line type. It is also extremely easy to change the line type Pj.

Also, only part of the 7 11 pure ivl! J! To make a change, use the same cursor operation to specify the line 8 of the target ruled line + the end of the range to be changed, and then specify one direction from the left, right, top, or back using the cursor position as a reference. ``After specifying the line change range, you can specify the line type.

In addition, when setting new ruled lines, you can display multiple g+1 lines of Rakudoku in sequence on the display screen by simply selecting the line type in the ruled line setting mode, so while looking at this display screen, +M mouth judged to be optimal! 11 can be selected and set.

As described above, the method for changing the ruled line D'A fl of the present invention significantly simplifies the operation of changing the line type.

The operator's negative 4I4 is reduced and 'l? Even when the target ruled line is long or there are many lines, the time required to change the line type is extremely shortened. Furthermore, since the occurrence of operational errors is drastically reduced, many excellent effects can be obtained, such as improving the efficiency of creating tables and documents that require ruled line operations.
