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 Japanese word processor, having functions of input, display, print and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional Japanese word processor, for example, BF-220, when a document is updated, in order to know the changed portion of the document before the update and the changed document after the update, it is necessary to add By displaying or printing with functions such as hanging, italic characters, and changing the font,
Changes can be specified.

[0003]

Conventionally, for example, BF-
In a Japanese word processor such as 220, when updating a document, the user is consciously changing the typeface or shading when trying to clearly indicate the changed portions of the document before and after the update. It was necessary to do.

An object of the present invention is to enable printing in a specific color when updating a document, to easily recognize the changed portion of the updated document, and to improve the usability for the user.

[0005]

[MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] To achieve the object,
According to the present invention, when a document is updated, the changed portion of the document before the updating and the changed portion of the updated document are automatically marked with a specific color or shade so that the changed portion can be easily recognized.

According to the present invention, when a document is updated, a function of automatically displaying or printing the changed portion of the document before the update and the changed portion of the document after the update with a specific color or shading is provided. Changes in later documents can be easily recognized.

Also, when the edited document is registered in the floppy disk, the information of the changed portion and the information before the change are also registered so that the information of the changed portion remains when updated again.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a flowchart for updating a document in the information processing apparatus of the present invention. By selecting the update document on the menu screen, the document registered in the floppy disk or the like can be called. A list of document names registered in the floppy disk is displayed on the screen along with the document numbers. Select the number of the document to be updated and press Execute to call the document. If you want to be able to see the changes before you make changes to the called document, set your preferences. The extended function key is displayed, and the extended function selection screen is displayed. FIG. 2 shows an extended function selection screen. When the environment setting number [7] among them is selected with the key, the environment setting selection screen is displayed. FIG. 3 shows a screen for selecting environment settings. When the display environment number [3] on the environment setting selection screen is selected with the key, the display environment setting screen is displayed. FIG. 4 shows a display environment setting screen. There is a change item in the display environment setting screen. The color is specified or the shaded area is set in the item of the changed portion, and the setting is completed when the enter key is pressed. Here, as an example, shaded [1] is designated.

When the document is changed after the above environment settings are made, the changed color or shade is displayed at the changed position. Since the information before the change is also stored in the memory here, it is possible to return the changed portion to the state before the change. Move the screen cursor to the point you want to return to before changing, and press the convert key to display the screen for converting or selecting before changing.Select the previous key with the numeric keypad and press the enter key to change it. Return. In this case, the changed portion is displayed in a color or shaded.

When the changed document is printed, it is possible to print in the color specified in the changed portion or in the shaded area. Press the print key to display the print condition setting screen.
The color of the item at the changed portion or the shaded portion is designated, and when the enter key is pressed, the color or the shaded portion designated at the changed portion is printed. If you select Do not set in the change item and press the Enter key, normal printing is performed. In the print condition setting screen, the item to be changed is not set in the initial state, so if the execute key is pressed without doing anything, normal printing is performed.

When the changed document is registered in the floppy disk or the like, it is possible to register the information of the changed portion and the information before the change. After changing the document, press the end key to display the screen for selecting whether to register or not.
If you select "Register" and press the Enter key, the screen for entering the document name, remarks, and holder appears. Below that, there is an item for selecting whether to register change information or not. Enter the document name etc.,
When "Register change information" is selected and the enter key is pressed, the color or shaded information of the changed portion and the information of the document before the change are also registered. When a document in which change information is registered is updated, a screen for selecting change information and initializing the change information is displayed before displaying the contents of the document. If you select "Display", the information on the change before registration remains, so it is possible to return to the state before the change. If you select Initialize, only the document is displayed without recalling the information of the changes before registration.

When it is desired to initialize change information during document editing, there is an item for setting whether to initialize the change information item in the display environment setting in the extended function or not, so set and execute it there. Initialized by pressing the key.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the display result of the information processing apparatus of the present invention. A document 51 before change and a document 52 after change. When one numerical value 53 in the table of the document 51 before the change is changed to the changed numerical value 55 of the changed document 52,
The numerical value directly changed by the user is shaded and displayed like the changed numerical value 55. At that time, one calculation result 54 of the document 51 before change is automatically displayed as one calculation result 56 in the document 52 after change by changing one numerical value 53. It
At the same time, the changed portions are shaded and displayed as one calculation result 56 in the changed document 52.

FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of the information processing apparatus of the present invention. It is divided into a main body portion 61 and a printing portion 62. The main body includes a main control unit 63 for controlling memory and main control of the main unit, an input device control unit 64, a display device control unit 65, a floppy disk drive control device 66, an interface 67 with a printing unit, and a main memory. 68, a program / CG / dictionary memory 69, a display memory 610, and an auxiliary memory 611. Further, the printing unit 62 has
It is composed of an interface 612 with the main body and a print control unit 613. When editing a document, usually the main memory 6
At 8, the document data is processed. When the document is updated, the change information data is stored in the auxiliary memory 611 and is processed every time the change is made. When the document is changed at the time of updating the document, the changed data in the main memory 68 and the data before the change are transferred to the auxiliary memory 611 together with the corresponding address of the main memory 68. Since the change information data is stored in the auxiliary memory 611, the conversion can be easily performed. Also, when registering on a floppy disk, etc.,
The document data in the main memory 68 and the change information data in the auxiliary memory 611 are registered in the floppy disk.

FIG. 7 shows an external view of the information processing apparatus of the present invention. The main body 61 and the printing unit 62 are of a separated type, and the main body 61 is composed of an input device 73, a display device 74, and a floppy disk drive 75.
