BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a word processor for processing
document information which has been formed by a key entry operation, or
the like, by way of editing and modifying operations, and for printing out
the processed document information.
2. Description of the Related Art
Recently, a word processor has been widely and quickly utilized in a
non-professional use market. In particular, a strong demand is made for
such a word processor having a multiple function. In some of these word
processors, the print characters of the formed documents can be modified
into, for instance, a frame character, a shadow character, and an Italic
character and then printed out on a printing medium.
In this case, the designation of the above-described character modification
is carried out by firstly selecting a type of modification, and secondly
designating the character train range of the characters to be modified
with the starting and ending positions.
As a consequence, cumbersome selecting/designating operations of the
characters to be modified are necessarily required. In particular, when
the type of the modification is varied, a cumbersome designating operation
is required every time the modification type is changed, which seriously
encumbers a user of the word processor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been made in an attempt to solve the
above-described problems of the conventional word processors, and
therefore has an object to provide a compact word processor capable of
readily modifying an arbitrary character train and printing out the
modified character train when the formed document is character-modified
without designating both sides of the modified range.
To achieve the above-described object of the present invention, a word
processing apparatus comprises:
an input device for inputting word data;
a memory for storing said word data input from said input device;
a segmenting device for segmenting a plurality of said word data stored in
said memory, into a plurality of items containing at least one word data;
a designator for designating a print-form of said word data contained in
each item segmented by said segmenting device;
a character-pattern generator for generating a character-pattern
corresponding to said word data output from said memory and said
print-form designated by said designator; and
a printer for printing said character-pattern generated by said
character-pattern generator.
With the above-described arrangements, the word processor according to the
present invention can designate the character train to be modified in a
simple operation. Similarly, according to the word processor of the
invention, the changing of the characters to be modified can be performed
with a simple operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
CONSTRUCTION OF COMPACT WORD PROCESSOR
In FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of a compact word processor
according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention.
An apparatus housing 10 is so designed as to be manually held by one hand
of an user. A mode changing switch 11 is mounted on the left side of the
apparatus housing 10. Functions of this mode changing switch 11 are to
turn ON/OFF a power source, and to select a document forming mode "WP" and
a printing mode "PR". When either the document forming mode WP, or the
printing mode "PR" is designated by operating the mode changing switch 11,
the power source is turned ON. A key input unit 12 and a display unit 13
are provided on a front side of the apparatus housing 10. On the key input
unit 12, there are provided a character/symbol input key 14, a function
key 15, cursor 16, and a print key 20. It should be noted that the
above-described display unit 13 is arranged by, for instance, 16
characters per line. A printing head unit "HA" is mounted on the lower
side of the apparatus housing 10 in such a manner that a line type thermal
head having, for example, 48 dots per line is directed with its line
direction to a width direction of the apparatus housing 10.
The character/symbol input key 14 is used to input an alphabet or a number
and a symbol, or the like in conjunction with the function key 15. As the
function key 15, there are arranged an execution key 15a for instructing a
function designated by other function keys 15; an insert key; a delete
key, a stop key 15b for segmenting an input document at an arbitrary
sentence (character train); a frame character key 15c for instructing a
character modification of a document character train which has been
segmented by the stop key 15b; a shadow character key 15d; an Italic
character key 15e and the like for instructing various functions required
for forming and printing the document by way of the above-described
character/symbol input key 14. Then, the characters and symbols entered by
the above-described character/symbol input key 14 and also the function
key 15 are successively displayed on the above-described display unit 13.
When the stop key 15b is operated so as to segment the document data which
has been input by the character/symbol input key 14 into an arbitrary
sentence (character train), a stop code is input and also a symbol "ST" is
displayed on the display unit 13.
On the other hand, a function of a cursor key 16 is to move a cursor "K" in
the horizontal direction of the display screen of the display unit 13,
which is displayed together with the input document and symbols. By moving
this cursor "K" on the display screen, an instruction of the input
position and another instruction of a function range are performed. When
the document formed by way of the key input operations is printed out on a
recording medium "A", after the print mode "PR" has been instructed by
manipulating the mode changing switch 11, the printer head unit "HA" is in
contact with a surface of the recording medium "A" and the apparatus
housing 10 is moved along a direction indicated by an arrow "X" while
depressing a print key 20. As a result, the formed document is printed out
on the recording medium "A".
In this case, while observing the formed document data displayed on the
display unit 13, when the cursor key 16 is manipulated, the displayed
screen is scrolled and the document character trains which have been
arbitrarily subdivided by the stop code can be selected as data to be
printed out. Then, the character modification of the document character
train can be instructed by manipulating any one of these frame character
key 15c, shadow character key 15d, and Italic character key 15e of the key
input unit 12 at the stop code positions of the selected document
character trains. In this case, at the stop code position where the
character modification on the display unit 13 has been designated, a
character modification recognition mark "P" representative of a sort of
the character modification designated by this document character train is
displayed instead of the stop code "ST".
During the printing operation of the above-described document data, on the
other hand, when the stop code which is continued to the data to be
printed out is read out from the memory, the printing operation is
immediately stopped.
PRINTER UNIT OF WORD PROCESSOR
In FIG. 2, there is shown a printer unit 21 constructed in the
above-described word processor. In this drawing, an ink ribbon 22 is
provided, and this ink ribbon 22 is detachably stored in higher precision
within the apparatus housing 10 with respect to a center of the printer
unit 21. Two ribbon spools 23a and 23b are employed in the ink ribbon
cassette 22. One of these ribbon spools is a feeding spool, whereas the
other is a take-up spool of a heat transfer ink ribbon 24. The heat
transfer ink ribbon 24 is set to a lower end portion of the ribbon
cassette 22 in such a manner that one portion of the heat transfer ink
ribbon 24 is exposed from a notch 25 for positioning a head. A notch 26
for mounting a ribbon is formed in the printing head unit HA of the
above-described printer unit 21. A thermal head 27 is positioned at a
central portion of this notch 26 in such a way that a head surface thereof
is slightly projected from the lower surface of the apparatus body 10. The
thermal head 27 is slidably mounted in the vertical direction on a pair of
slide stays 28a and 28b which are vertically mounted on a head mounting
member 28. A printing force is continuously maintained in the lower
direction by a force of a spring wound on these slide stays 28a and 28b in
one body. Furthermore, at the side of the lower surface of the apparatus
body 10 where the thermal head 27 has been positioned, two openings 29 and
30 having small and large sizes are formed on both sides of the
above-described ribbon mounting notch 26. Two rubber rollers 31 and 32 are
arranged on these openings 29 and 30. When the printer housing 10 is
transferred or moved (i.e., swept) in a direction denoted by the arrow X
in FIG. 2, these rubber rollers 31 and 32 rotate in contact with the
recording medium "A" in response to the movement of the printer housing
10. A gear 33 rotated by one rubber roller 31 is coaxially mounted on
roller 31. A diameter of this gear 33 is made smaller than that of the
rubber roller 31, and the gear 33 is meshed with a take-up gear 36 via
gears 34, 35a and 35b. A ribbon take-up shaft 37 is coaxially formed on
this take-up gear 36. A stopper arm 38 which is forcibly depressed against
the take-up gear 36 is mounted on a base portion of this take-up shaft 37.
This stopper arm 38 is rotatable in the same rotation direction as the
gear 36 by way of the pressure force exerted between the take-up gear 36
and this stopper arm 38. A stopper gear 39 meshed with the take-up gear 36
is mounted on the tip portion of this arm 38. Also an arm stopper 40 is
provided in the rotation direction of the arm 38 corresponding to the
rotation direction of the take-up shaft 36. When the take-up gear 36 is
rotated in the ribbon take-up direction (i.e., normal direction), the
stopper arm 38 is rotated until the arm stopper 40 and stopped there.
Conversely, when the take-up gear 36 is rotated in the reverse direction
with respect to the take-up direction, the stopper arm 38 is rotated until
the tip portion thereof, i.e., stopper gear 39 is meshed with the gear 35b
and stopped there. In other words, a reverse rotation blocking mechanism
is eventually arranged by the above-described gears 35b, 36, stopper arm
38, stopper gear 39 and arm stopper 40.
An encoder disk 41 is coupled to the above-described described gear 35a. It
should be noted that the rotation torque of the rubber roller 31 is
transferred to ribbon take-up shaft 37 and encoder disk 41. A plurality of
slits 41a, 41b,--, are formed in a radial direction of the encoder disk 41
in the encoder disk 41 with maintaining a predetermined interval. A pair
of light emitting diodes (referred to as an "LED") 42a and 42b, and
another pair of photosensors 43a and 43b are arranged at two sets of
opposite positions for sandwiching the slit forming portion of this
encoder disk 41. In this case, each of the light projected from these LEDs
42a and 42b is incident through plural slits 41a and 41b of the encoder
disk 41 to the corresponding photosensors 43a and 43b. When the encoder
disk 41 is rotated in the normal direction by moving the apparatus housing
10 along the X-direction, the light projected from LED 42a and 42b is
successively incident upon the photosensors 43a and 43b in this order.
Conversely, when the encoder disk 41 is rotated in the reverse direction,
the light projected from LED 42a and 42b is successively incident upon the
photosensors 43b and 43a in this order. It should be understood that an
encoder 44 is arranged by the above-described encoder disk 41, LEDs 42a,
42b, photosensors 43a and 43b and the like. The ink ribbon cassette 22 is
mounted to this printing unit 21 as the ribbon take-up shaft 37 being a
supporting shaft. In this case, the heat transfer ink ribbon 24, a portion
of which is exposed from a range of the lower portion of the ribbon
cassette 22, is set in such a manner that this ink ribbon 24 is in contact
with the head surface of the thermal head 27 mounted on the notch 26
formed in the apparatus housing 10, by which the ribbon is mounted. It
should be noted that a rear cover 10a of the apparatus housing 10 is so
constructed by a hinge 10b under open and close conditions, by which a
used ink ribbon cassette 22 can be readily replaced by a new ink ribbon
cassette, and an inside check can also be carried out. On the other hand,
a printed circuit board 45 is arranged between the printing unit 21 and
apparatus housing 10. The keys and switches shown in FIG. 1, the encoder
44 of the printing unit 21, and the thermal head 27 are electrically
connected to the printed circuit board 45.
CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT
FIG. 3 shows a circuit arrangement of an electronic circuit formed on the
printed circuit board 45.
A control unit 51 is employed to receive the mode changing signal derived
from the mode changing switch 11, various key input signals from the key
input unit 12, and pulse signals, i.e., a signal for detecting a drive
(travel) amount of the apparatus housing 10 derived from the encoder 44.
In response to the various key operation signals derived from the mode
changing switch 11 and key input unit 12, the control unit 51 controls
various devices connected thereto.
A document memory unit 55 is employed so as to store document information,
or data which have been formed by operating the key input unit 12.
While a certain document is entered into the word processor according to
the invention, the stop code is used every time the stop key 15b is
operated for arbitrary sentences. Thus the stop codes are stored in
connection with the character code of the document data in the
above-described document memory unit 52.
Then, both the respective characters of the document data and symbol data
which have been stored in the document memory unit 56 are output via a
displaying character generator 53 and displaying RAM 54 to a display unit
13 and displayed thereon. Also, these data are called as actual character
generator 56, and similarly output via a printing character modifying unit
57 to a printer control unit 58. To this printer control unit 58, a
printer control signal is output from the control unit 51, and also the
encoder pulses derived from the encoder 44 are input. In response to the
printer control signal and encoder pulses, the character data which have
been input via the printing character modifying unit 57 are transferred in
one line unit to a thermal head 27 so as to heat-drive the thermal head
27. In this case, since the printing quality achieved by the thermal head
27 is determined by, for instance, 24.times.24 dots per character (full
angle), the above-described 1 line implies to have 1/24 patterns of one
character.
The document data to be printed out which is read from the document memory
unit 55, is also supplied to a stop code detecting unit 59 and character
modification judging unit 60. The function of the stop code judging unit
59 is to detect that the above-described stop code has been read out while
reading out the document data character code from the document memory unit
55 in the print mode "PR". The stop code detecting signal is output to the
control unit 51, printer control unit 58, and character modification
judging unit 60. In case that the word processor is not under the printing
operation when the stop code detecting signal is output, the content of
the character modification code which is stored together with the stop
code while the character modification is instructed, is judged by the
character modification judging unit 60. It should be noted that the
corresponding stop code mark on the display unit 13 is converted into a
"P" mark corresponding to the content of the character modification. Then,
the character data which is read out from the document memory unit 55 in
conjunction with the later printing operation, is modified under the
character modification mode by the printing-character modifying unit 57
and supplied to the printer control unit 58 and thermal head 27 for
printing out the modified character on the recording medium. On the other
hand, the detection of the stop code, designation of the readout address
with respect to the document memory unit 55, and printer drive control of
the thermal head 27 by the printer control unit 58 are interrupted during
the printing operation.
DATA ARRANGEMENTS
In FIGS. 4A and 4B, there are shown data arrangements of the
above-described stop code and head address. Each of these character codes
and stop codes in the document memory unit 55 is arranged by 3 bytes.
Precisely speaking, the stop code is stored in the heading 2 bytes and the
character modification code as well as other modification codes are stored
in the remaining 1 byte. The character modification code contains the
frame characters, shadow characters, and Italic characters. The head
address of the document memory 55 is arranged by 1 byte because no
character code is present. The character modification code and the like
corresponding to the final byte of the above-described stop code are
stored in the head address of the document memory unit 55. That is, in the
character code train which has been segmented by the stop code contained
in the document data in accordance with the content of the heading stop
code thereof, the character modification and the like corresponding to the
content of the heading stop code are managed, whereas in the character
code train corresponding to the heading sentence of the document data, the
character modification and the like are managed based upon the content of
the heading address in the document memory unit 55. It should be noted
that the character modification code is stored in the memory area shown in
FIG. 4 by selecting an arbitrary sentence character train contained in the
document data, and also key-input-designating any one of the frame
character, shadow character and Italic character at the heading stop code
position. Also, the stop code used by instructing the character
modification is output from the displaying character generator 53 as a "P"
mark corresponding to the contents of the character modification, and then
displayed on the display unit 13.
WORD PROCESSING BY COMPACT WORD PROCESSOR
A word processing operating by the compact word processor with the
above-described arrangement will now be described with reference to the
drawings.
When the desired document is formed, the mode changing switch 11 is
manipulated to designate the document forming mode WP. Thus, the control
unit 51 is set to the document forming mode "WP". Thereafter, a user
manually operates the key input unit 12 in order to sequentially input
desirable characters, symbols and so on.
At first, when the character/symbol input key 14 and function key 15 are
operated so as to key-enter the desirable document data, the entered
document data are successively transferred via the control unit 51 to the
document memory unit 55. At this time, when the stop key 15b is operated
at the proper timings while entering the document data, the entered
document can be segmented every arbitrary sentences. Then, the entered
document data are sequentially displayed via the displaying character
generator 53 and displaying RAM 54.
As a consequence, predetermined segmenting codes, i.e., the above described
stop codes are written into the formed document data which is stored in
the document memory unit 55 at predetermined positions corresponding to
the input positions by the stop key 15b operations which 15 are performed
so as to segment the input document into the arbitrary sentences. It
should be noted that this "stop code" corresponds to data used for judging
the head position of the sentence character train, the character
modification designated for this character train, and the end position of
this sentence character train when the formed document data is printed
