Abstract

Abstract A word processing apparatus includes a ruled line memory in addition to a document memory. A ruled line pattern data is memorized in the ruled line memory and is permanently memorized in a floppy disc. The thus memorized ruled line pattern data is read out at a desired time and can be combined with a desired document data. The combined document data and the ruled line pattern data is applied to an image screen and a printer system.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 128 words
A ruled line data memory system in a word processing apparatus comprising: input means for introducing a desired ruled line pattern into the word processing apparatus; temporary memory means for temporarily storing ruled line pattern data introduced from said input means; outer nonvolatile memory means for permanently memorizing said ruled line pattern data developed from said word processing apparatus; registration control means, operatively connected between said temporary memory means and outer nonvolatile memory means, for registering said ruled line pattern data temporarily stored in said temporary memory means into said outer nonvolatile memory means; and recall means, operatively connected between said outer nonvolatile memory means and temporary memory means, for introducing the ruled line pattern data registered in said outer nonvolatile memory means into said temporary memory means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 128 words
A ruled line data memory system in a word processing apparatus comprising: input means for introducing a desired ruled line pattern into the word processing apparatus; temporary memory means for temporarily storing ruled line pattern data introduced from said input means; outer nonvolatile memory means for permanently memorizing said ruled line pattern data developed from said word processing apparatus; registration control means, operatively connected between said temporary memory means and outer nonvolatile memory means, for registering said ruled line pattern data temporarily stored in said temporary memory means into said outer nonvolatile memory means; and recall means, operatively connected between said outer nonvolatile memory means and temporary memory means, for introducing the ruled line pattern data registered in said outer nonvolatile memory means into said temporary memory means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 72 words
The ruled line data memory system of claim 1, wherein said registration control means includes: region selection means, operatively connected to said temporary memory means, for selecting a desired region of the ruled line pattern data temporarily stored in said temporary memory means; and transfer means, responsive to the selection of said region selection means, for transferring the ruled line pattern data of the selected region to said outer nonvolatile memory means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
The ruled line data memory system of claim 1 or 2, further comprising an image screen for displaying the ruled line pattern in accordance with said ruled line pattern data temporarily stored in said temporary memory means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
The ruled line data memory system of claim 3, wherein said input means includes a cursor shift key for shifting a cursor location on said image screen.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 100 words
The ruled line data memory system of claim 2, further comprising: an image screen for displaying the ruled line pattern in accordance with said ruled line pattern data temporarily stored in said temporary memory means; cursor shift key input means for shifting the cursor location on said image screen; address counter means for storing an address data representing the cursor location; and means for providing a coincidence between said address counter means and said region selection means so that said desired region of the ruled line pattern data is selected through the use of said cursor shift key input means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 63 words
The ruled line data memory system of claim 1, wherein said input means includes means for assigning a plurality of registration titles corresponding to each ruled line pattern memorized in the outer nonvolatile memory, and said recall means includes means for selectively transferring said ruled line patterns from said outer nonvolatile memory means to said temporary memory means according to said registration titles.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 230 words
A word processing apparatus comprising: input means for introducing a desired document and/or a ruled line pattern into the word processing apparatus; document memory means for temporarily storing document data introduced from said input means; ruled line memory means for temporarily storing ruled line pattern data introduced from said input means; display means for compositely displaying document data and a ruled line pattern in accordance with said document data temporarily stored in said document memory means and said ruled line pattern data temporarily stored in said ruled line memory means; outer nonvolatile memory means for permanently memorizing desired data temporarily stored in said document memory means and said ruled line memory means; registration control means, operatively connected between said ruled line memory means and document memory means and said outer nonvolatile memory means, for selectively registering said document data temporarily stored in said document memory means and for selectively registering said ruled line pattern data temporarily stored in said ruled line memory means into said outer nonvolatile memory means; and recall means, operatively connected between said outer nonvolatile memory means and said ruled line memory means and document memory means, for selectively introducing the document data and the ruled line pattern data registered in said outer nonvolatile memory means into said document memory means and said ruled line memory means for further composite or independent display on an image screen.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 230 words
A word processing apparatus comprising: input means for introducing a desired document and/or a ruled line pattern into the word processing apparatus; document memory means for temporarily storing document data introduced from said input means; ruled line memory means for temporarily storing ruled line pattern data introduced from said input means; display means for compositely displaying document data and a ruled line pattern in accordance with said document data temporarily stored in said document memory means and said ruled line pattern data temporarily stored in said ruled line memory means; outer nonvolatile memory means for permanently memorizing desired data temporarily stored in said document memory means and said ruled line memory means; registration control means, operatively connected between said ruled line memory means and document memory means and said outer nonvolatile memory means, for selectively registering said document data temporarily stored in said document memory means and for selectively registering said ruled line pattern data temporarily stored in said ruled line memory means into said outer nonvolatile memory means; and recall means, operatively connected between said outer nonvolatile memory means and said ruled line memory means and document memory means, for selectively introducing the document data and the ruled line pattern data registered in said outer nonvolatile memory means into said document memory means and said ruled line memory means for further composite or independent display on an image screen.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 61 words
The word processor apparatus of claim 7, wherein said input means includes means for assigning a plurality of registration titles corresponding to each ruled line pattern memorized in the outer nonvolatile memory, and said recall means includes means for selectively transferring said ruled line patterns from said outer nonvolatile memory means to said temporary memory means according to said registration titles.
