JPH035878A - Converting method for japanese language business form typing image data in host computer - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To output a business form generated by a host as it is by a terminal side by converting the print control information and the Chinese character code of the Japanese language business form typing image data of the host computer. CONSTITUTION:Japanese language business form image data 11 is read in by input processing 2, and is retrieved in a record. Then, in the case of new line starting and new page starting information (SSF) in deciding processing 3, SSF is analyzed and converted by control information converting processing 4, and in the case of KANJI (Chinese character) IN (KI), conversion into a terminal KANJI code by a KANJI code converting processing 5 is executed until KANJI OUT (KO) appears, and in the case of a functional character (FNT) or a character attribute (KM), the conversion is executed by the control information converting processing 4 so that the size of the character is unified. The other character is not converted, but is converted into the form of the business form image data 12 after conversion and is outputted by output processing 6. Thus, the Japanese language business form generated by the host computer can be outputted as it is.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention is directed to a host computer (Japanese language) that enables Japanese forms created on a host computer (hereinafter also referred to as host) to be output on a terminal. The present invention relates to a method of converting form print image data.

[Conventional technology]

The host computer and terminal have different encoding systems for representing characters, and in order to represent 2-byte characters such as kanji characters, the host computer uses the start and end of the 2-byte characters (hereinafter expressed as kanji IN and kanji OUT). ), and the terminal can express double-byte characters even without Kanji IN and Kanji OUT. Also, the print control information, kanji code, line feed, page feed, etc. control information is different between a host-connected printer and a terminal-connected printer.

For Japanese forms, double-byte characters such as Japanese,
Since the printing position of 1-byte characters such as alphanumeric characters and kana is undefined, the positions of 1-byte characters and 2-byte characters in the Japanese form print image data are also undefined, and since print control information is also included, the host side It is impossible to input Japanese form printing image data and output the form as is on a terminal. Therefore, conventionally, after processing the input data to output the form on the host, the data is sent to the terminal side and has a master etc., and a program is created for each form and the form is output, or the data is output on the host. The documents were sent by fax, etc.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional technology, it is necessary to create a program on the terminal side and make a master file resident for each type of Japanese form, and thus lacks versatility. In the present invention, the Japanese form print image data created by the host is converted into the terminal's Kanji code, the print control information is analyzed and converted, and the data is output to a file. The terminal side can input the file and output the same Japanese form as the host without referring to the master or the like.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention includes input processing of a Japanese form print image file, processing for determining kanji codes and print control information,
Includes control information conversion processing that allows print control information to be recognized by the terminal, kanji code conversion processing that converts host kanji code to terminal kanji code, and output processing that outputs converted Japanese form print image data. It is characterized by

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention includes Japanese ingredients 1 form image file 11 input processing 2, judgment processing 3, control information conversion processing 4, kanji code conversion processing 5, output processing 6, exchanged Japanese form image file 7 It is made up of.

Control information conversion process 4 is line feed/page feed control information (SSF)
, functional characters (FNT), and character attributes (KM), and the Kanji code intersection processing 5 has a function of converting host Kanji codes to terminal Kanji codes.

Judgment process 3 is based on line feed/page break control information (SS
F), Kanji IN (K, I), Kanji 0UT (KO>), Functional character (FNT), Character attribute (KM) are determined.

FIG. 2 shows Japanese form image data 11 and Japanese form image data 12 after conversion.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 Japanese form image data 11 by input processing 2
is read and searched within the record, and in judgment process 3, line breaks and
If it is page break control information (S S F), control information conversion processing 4
Analyze and convert the SSF.

If it is a kanji character IN (KI), it is converted into a terminal kanji code in the kanji code conversion process 5 until the kanji character OUT (KO) appears. If the character is a functional character (FN'r') or a character attribute (KM), the control information conversion process 4 converts the character so that the size of the character is unified. Other characters are not converted and are converted into the form of converted form image data 12 in output processing 6 and output.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention has the advantage that by converting the print control information and Kanji code of the host computer's Japanese book form print image data, the form created by the host can be output as is on the terminal side. Another advantage is that this method can be used universally for any type of document without any changes, since the layout of the document is not taken into consideration.
