Abstract

PURPOSE:To set freely disks and to facilitate the easy operation of a data processor by detecting the attributes of plural disks and connecting correctly these attributes to each input/output control part. CONSTITUTION:When floppy disks are set to decks 11-0 and 11-1', the reading parts 12 and 12' read first the ID written to each floppy disk. This read output is supplied to an attribute discriminating part 13 for discrimination whether the inserted disk is equal to a document disk or a dictionary disk. The output of this discrimination is supplied to a decoder 21 and compared with a table stored in a table storing part 22. Then the part 22 controls a switching circuit 23 in order to supply the signals sent from the document disk to a document production processing part 17' via a document input/output control part 15' and to supply the signals sent from the dictionary disk also to the part 17' via a dictionary input/output control part 16' respectively.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] 〔table of contents〕 overview Industrial applications Conventional technology The problem that the invention aims to solve Means to solve problems action Example Effect of the invention 〔overview〕 It has a deck for multiple floppy disks.

In a data processing device that uses a plurality of floppy disks with different attributes, an attribute identification section that detects the attributes of the set floppy disks and a reading section of each deck according to the attributes are set to the first input. The present invention is characterized in that a switching control section is provided for switching connection to the output control section and the second input/output control section, so that each deck can be switched and connected according to the attributes of the set disk.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention applies to data processing apparatuses such as word processor dictionary floppy disks and document floppy disks.
Regarding the disk loading method.

Data processing devices such as word processors.

Widely used as office fist automation center °
It is indispensable when creating documents. This means that a word processor that can be operated by anyone is desired, and further simplification of operation is desired.

[Conventional technology]

Word processors usually use two floppy disks with different attributes. That is, the word processor is operated by inserting two disks, a dictionary disk that stores kanji characters and the like and a disk that records the created document, into two decks provided in the word processor. In a conventional word processor, in this case,
Insert a disk with the specified attributes. For example, place a dictionary floppy disk in the first deck.

It is necessary to set the document floppy disk in the second deck. This allows the desired processing to be performed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the case of conventional word processors, it was essential to set the dictionary disk and document disk to predetermined decks according to the attributes of the disks, so when using a new model of word processor for the first time, When doing so, there was a problem in that one had to manually determine in which deck to set the dictionary disk and in which deck to set the document disk. Even experienced operators often misplace dictionary disks and document disks in the deck.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and is a method for loading floppy disks in data processing equipment that allows disks with different attributes such as reeds, dictionary disks, and document disks to be set on either deck. The purpose is to provide a method.

Means for Solving Problem C] In order to solve the above problem, in this invention, the first
The configuration shown in the block diagram of the principle of the present invention shown in the figure is adopted.

In FIG. 1, a data processing device 10, such as a word processor, is connected to a deck 1 for two floppy disks.
1.11', and a reading section 12.12' respectively.
It is equipped with The output of the reading section 12.12' is supplied to an attribute identification section 13 that identifies the first disk (document disk) and the second disk (dictionary disk).
According to the identification signal from 3, the switching control section 14 switches the reading section 12
．． 12'.

The first input/output (document side) control unit 15. 2nd input/output (dictionary side)
Correctly connect to the control unit 16. Each control unit 15 and 16 is connected to a data creation (document creation) processing unit 17.
Performs normal data (document) creation processing.

[For production]

According to this, the first disk (document disk).

No matter which of decks 11 and 11' the second disk (dictionary disk) is set in, it is the first (document) disk.

The second (dictionary) disk is correctly connected to the first input/output (document side) control unit 15. By connecting to the second input/output (dictionary side) control section 16, correct data creation (document creation) processing is possible.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

The same members as in the block diagram of the principle of the present invention shown in FIG.

Since the same number has been assigned, a detailed explanation of this member will be omitted. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a word processor.

The switching control section 14 has a table storage section 22. which will be explained in detail later. Decoder 21. Switching control section 24. The switching circuit 23 is composed of a plurality of switching circuits. Note that reading section 1
2.12' are connected to the floppy disk decks 11-0 and 11-1' of the word processor.

Detsu now? It is assumed that a dictionary floppy disk is set in the document floppy disk drive 11-1' at 11-0. Since each floppy disk has an ID written thereon indicating whether it is a document disk or a dictionary disk, the reading section 12.12' first reads it. The output is input to the attribute identification section 13, and the deck 11-
It is determined whether the disk inserted at 0, 11-1' is a document disk or a dictionary disk. The identification output is input to the decoder 21 in the switching control section 14 and compared with the table stored in the table storage section 22 also in the switching control section 14 . In the table storage section 22.

Document disk for Detsuki 11-0, resignation for Detsuki 1 toy)
A control signal is stored in memory for controlling the switching circuit 23 according to whether a disc is inserted or vice versa. This control signal is supplied to the switching circuit 23 via the switching control section 24. In addition, Detsuki 11-0. When a document disk is inserted into the deck 11-1', or when a dictionary disk is inserted into both decks.

Needless to say, an error signal is issued and a message to that effect is displayed.

The switching circuit 23 is supplied with a read signal from the reading section 12, 12' and is connected to the switching control section 24.
controlled by control signals from.

That is, the signals from the nine document disks are transmitted to the document input/output control section 15.
A signal from the dictionary disk is supplied to the document creation processing section 17 via the dictionary input/output control section 16'.

Deck 11-O in which the document disk was set
is connected to the two-document input/output control unit 15',
The deck 11-1' in which the dictionary disk is set is connected to the dictionary input/output control section 16'. Even when a document disc is set on the deck 11-1' and a dictionary disc is set on the deck 11-1, the general switching circuit 23 is not controlled as described above.

1 document input/output control section 15' and dictionary input/output control section 16, respectively.
’ is connected correctly.

Although the above description has been made using the example of a word processor, the present invention is of course not limited to this.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, even if disks with different attributes, such as document disks and dictionary disks, are set in any of a plurality of disk decks of a data processing device such as a word φ processor, each disk with different attributes can be set. That is, it detects whether it is a document disk or a dictionary disk, and correctly connects it to each input/output control section. Therefore, disks can be set freely, and data processing devices such as word processors and processors can be easily operated.
