Description

The present invention operates on a word processor or a personal computer. The present invention relates to a fixed form document creation device.

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional document creation apparatus, a print position of a created document is determined by print settings. That is, by selecting the size of the printing paper, the pitch between characters and the pitch between lines, the number of vertical and horizontal characters that can be printed on one sheet is determined, and the printing position is determined. Therefore, when printing on a commercially available fixed-size sheet such as a resume, printing is performed by setting the pitch between characters and the pitch between lines in accordance with the line interval and frame of the sheet. If the pitch between lines does not match depending on the paper, or if furigana is used with quarter-byte characters, adjust the line spacing by half-line feed control or the like. In general, even if line spacing control is performed, they are displayed at equal intervals on the screen due to the function of the display device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, in the above-described configuration, it is impossible to adjust the printing position accurately unless the print setting is made by actually measuring the line spacing and the size of the margin of the paper or by performing trial printing. When the entry positions on the paper are not aligned, the operation to partially change the line spacing by half-line feed control or the like is performed, but the line spacing could not be grasped on the creation screen, so it was necessary to actually print and check it further .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a document creating apparatus capable of confirming an approximate printing position without printing.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a finger-type input device for reading a predetermined fixed-size sheet, a document input means for inputting a document to be printed on the predetermined fixed-size sheet, and an input by the document input means. Print setting means for setting the print format of the generated document, document display means for superimposing and displaying the document screen data and the finger print data, and finger shape correction for correcting the finger print data to match the contents of the print format And a document creation device comprising:

According to the present invention, with the above-described configuration, the finger input means reads a predetermined fixed sheet as finger data, and the document input means inputs document data to be printed on the predetermined fixed sheet in accordance with a user operation. The shape correcting means interlocks with the setting of the print format by the print setting means, and scales up or down the finger shape data so as to match the contents of the print format to create the finger shape screen data. The created document screen data and finger shape screen data are superimposed and displayed.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a document creating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a finger shape input means, 2 denotes a document input means, 3 denotes a print setting means for setting a print format of a document, and 4 denotes a finger shape storage for storing a finger shape input by the finger shape input means 1.

A document storage unit for storing the stored document; a document screen for displaying the document stored in the document storage unit in accordance with the settings of the print setting unit; The display means 10 is the document storage means 7
Is a printing unit that prints the document stored in the print setting unit 3 according to the settings of the print setting unit 3.

The operation of the document creating apparatus of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described below.

In preparing a document to be printed on a predetermined fixed-size sheet, the user first inputs the fixed-size sheet, that is, a finger shape from the finger shape input means 1. The finger shape input means 1 uses an image scanner, a facsimile or the like as the finger shape reading means. The read finger shape is stored in the finger shape storage means 4. The document input means 2 inputs a document by keyboard operation or the like,
The input document is stored in the document storage unit 7. The print setting unit 3 sets a print format of the document stored in the document storage unit 7, that is, a character pitch, a line pitch, an upper margin, a left margin, and the like. The printing unit 10 prints the document stored in the document storage unit 7 according to the settings of the print setting unit 3. The display screen by the document display means 9 logically forms a two-layer structure, and includes a finger screen 6 and a document screen 8. The document stored in the document storage unit 7 is displayed on the document screen 8. The shape of the finger shape stored in the finger shape storage means 4 is corrected by the finger shape correction means 5 and displayed on the finger shape screen 6. The finger shape correcting means 5 corrects the display ratio such as the character pitch and the line pitch based on the finger shape stored in the finger shape storing means 4 in accordance with the settings of the print setting means 3 and the line control information by the document input means 2. I do. The document display means 9 superimposes the document screen 8 with the finger shape screen 6 as a background. When the setting is changed by the print setting means 3 and the line control is changed by the document input means 2, the finger shape correcting means 5 re-corrects the finger shape stored in the finger shape storing means 4 and always keeps the current state. The finger shape is displayed on the finger shape screen 6 in the form as described above.

This will be described more specifically with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. Now, the document screen has a character size of F (horizontal) × G
Assume that the image is displayed with (vertical) dots, L dots between lines, and C dots between characters, and the resolution of the scanner is D lines / mm. Further, the printing of the document is performed by the print setting means 3 so that the line pitch Pm
Assume that m, character pitch Qmm, top margin Jmm, and left margin Hmm are set. The shape correction operation by the finger shape correction means 5 at this time is as follows.

The finger shape correcting means 5 performs coordinate conversion from a point (U, V) on the finger shape storage means 4 to a point (X, Y) on the finger shape screen 6, as shown in FIG. This conversion formula is X = ((F + C) / (Q ・ D)) (UH ・ D) ≡f (U, Q, H) Y = ((G + L) / (P ・ D)) ( VJ · D) ≡g (V, P, J). That is, (F + C) / (Q · D) times in the horizontal direction,
The image is multiplied by (G + L) / (PD) in the vertical direction and displayed on the finger shape screen 6. Since X and Y are functions of Q, H and P, J, respectively, correction is made when the setting of the character pitch, line pitch, and margin is changed.

FIGS. 2 (a), (b) and (c) show examples of the finger-shaped screen 6, the document screen 8 and the superimposed display screen by the document display means 9 when the line pitch is widened. ), (B),
(C) is an example of a superimposed display screen by the finger-shaped screen 6, the document screen 8, and the document display means 9 when the line pitch is set narrow.

As is clear from both figures, the display on the document screen 8 is the same in both FIG. 2 (b) and FIG. 3 (b). However, according to the setting by the print setting means 3, the finger shape correcting means 5 displays the finger shape stored in the finger shape storage means 4 on the finger shape screen 6, so that FIGS. 2 (a) and 3 ( Different finger shapes are displayed as in a). The user performs a document creation operation while viewing FIGS. 2 (c) and 3 (c) in which these two screens are combined. When the document created in this way is printed on a fixed size paper by the printing means 10, the results shown in FIGS. 2 (d) and 3 (d) are obtained.

When the line pitch is partially changed by half line feed control or the like, further shape correction is performed only on the corresponding portion. That is,
If the row pitch for m rows from the n-th row is P'mm, (1) when 0 ≦ Y ≦ (G + L) · n, Y = ((G + L) / (PD)) (V−J · D (2) When (G + L) · n ≦ Y ≦ (G + L) (n + 1), Y = ((G + L) / (P ′ · D)) (V− (J + n · (PP ′)) · D) (3) When (G + L) · (n + m) ≦ Y, the conversion formula of Y = ((G + L) / (P · D)) (V- (Jm · (PP ′)) · D) is applied. Is done.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the display of the finger print screen corresponds to the change in the print setting, and the approximate print position can be confirmed at the time of creation.

Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the finger shape input means and the finger shape correction means are provided, and the finger shape of the fixed form paper corrected in conjunction with the setting of the printing shop type is superimposed on the document creation screen. By providing a document display means for displaying a document, an approximate printing position can be confirmed before printing, so that the efficiency of document creation is improved and its practical effect is large.
