Method for lining up character layout by using hand-held device

Abstract

This invention relates to a method for character typesetting alignment of a handheld equipment. This method applies a basic character unit analyzer and two core modules (line broken module and blank distributing module). The line broken module uses character unit analyzer to decide at what position then character flow can be cut off and the blank distribution module applies prioirty way based on character unit analyzer to allocate blanks between characters in a line to guarantee both ends of line in alignment with right and left edges are resonable allocation of blanks between characters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of text typesetting processing, and in particular relates to a method for text typesetting alignment of a handheld device. Background technique [0002] At present, various handheld devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, and dedicated e-book readers have appeared on the market. These handheld devices have brought great convenience to people's life, work and study. However, due to the limitation of the hardware performance of the handheld device and the limited resources, the following methods are generally used when performing text typesetting and display on the handheld device: (1) read a character from the text stream, and calculate the current width of the character; (2) If the blank width in the current line is greater than the current width of the character, the character is arranged in the current line (next to the previous character), otherwise, the character is placed at the beginni...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Obviously, the above method has the following disadvantages: (1) The end of the line cannot be aligned, which does not conform to people's reading habits and aesthetic views. This problem is particularly serious when there are numbers and Western characters in the text; (2) It does not conform to The norms of Chinese typesetting violate many prohibition rules for text, such as: some punctuation cannot be placed at the end of a line, some punctuation cannot be placed at the beginning of a line, a certain amount of space should be kept between numbers and English words and Chinese, and numbers cannot be combined. tear down

The above-mentioned deficiencies in text layout on handheld devices have affected the development of handheld devices and restricted the development of the eBook (eBook) industry based on handheld devices
