Hereinafter, the flow of processing in the CPU 51 when the above-described document creation program of the present embodiment is started will be described.

FIG. 8 shows the overall flow of the document creation program according to the present embodiment.

In FIG. 8, the CPU 51 constantly monitors the operation of the user. When, for example, an instruction to start the document creation program is given in response to the operation of the user, the CPU 51 performs the processing of the document creation program as step S1. 67
By reading H from the HDD 67 and developing it on the RAM 54, a document creation program is started.

If the camera start / end button 220 of the camera-related toolbar 202 is clicked, for example, after the document creation program of the present embodiment is started in step S1, the CPU 51 executes the camera processing in step S2. Perform related processing.

When the camera-related processing ends in step S2 and, for example, an instruction for another editing operation is given by the user, the CPU 51 performs other editing processing as processing in step S3.

After the other editing process is completed in step S3, for example, the CPU 51 sets the HTML of the created and edited page (for example, a document on which an image or the like is pasted).
It is determined whether or not the user has instructed to save the file. If the user has instructed to save the HTML file, the process proceeds to step S5. If the user has not been instructed to save the HTML file, the process proceeds to step S5. Proceed to step S6.

When the user instructs to save the HTML file in step S4 and proceeds to the processing in step S5,
The CPU 51 responds to an instruction from the user by using an HTML
Save the file. More specifically, the CPU 5
1 creates one folder for the created and edited page, and includes a file list,
Save the HTML file and the image data file. The file list defines files to be saved in the folder of this page (document). HT
The ML file is a file that can be read by an application program (for example, WWW browser software or the like) that can read and display the ML file, and can simultaneously display characters and images. The image data file is a file in which image data to be pasted at a position specified by a tag in the HTML file is stored. Folders related to these pages are, for example, the HD
Stored in D67. After the processing in step S5, the process proceeds to step S6.

In step S4, when the user has not instructed to save as an HTML file, and in step S6, which proceeds after performing the HTML file saving process, in step S6, the document creation program of this embodiment is executed. It is determined whether or not the user has instructed to end.

In step S6, for example, when the user gives an instruction to end, the CPU 51 ends the document creation program. If there is a file that has not yet been saved after being newly created or updated,
For example, it is also possible to ask the user whether to save the file.

On the other hand, if the end instruction is not given by the user in step S6, the process returns to step S2, and the processing after step S2 is performed according to the instruction from the user.

Next, FIG. 9 shows a detailed flow of the camera-related processing in step S2 of the flowchart of FIG.

In FIG. 9, the CPU 51 determines whether or not an instruction to perform camera-related processing has been given by the user. That is, the CPU 51 executes the camera-related toolbar 20 as the process of step S11.
It is determined whether or not the first camera start / end button 220 is pressed.

If it is determined in step S11 that the camera start / end button 220 has been pressed,
The CPU 51 determines whether or not the camera is being activated, that is, whether or not the capture program has already been activated, as the processing in step S12.

Here, the fact that the capture program is being started means that the capture program has already been used by the document creation program of this embodiment or another application (including the capture program itself), and is terminated. As a result, the CPU 51 terminates the camera (capture program) and then terminates the camera-related processing in step S14.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S12 that the camera is not running, that is, that the capture program is not running, the CPU 51 executes camera startup processing by the document creation program, that is, capture processing, in step S13. Performs program startup processing.

After performing the camera startup processing in step S13, the CPU 51 determines in step S15 whether or not the camera has been normally started, that is, whether the capture program has been started and an operable camera has been recognized. Is determined.

If the capture program cannot recognize an operable camera in step S15,
The PU 51 ends the camera-related processing.

On the other hand, if the capture program recognizes in step S15 that an operable camera is present, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S16.

When the process proceeds to step S16, the CPU 5
1 is the still image shooting button 221 by the user, for example.
When is pressed to instruct shooting of a still image, the still image shooting process is performed.

The CPU 51 executes the processing of step S17, for example, by
When the user presses 2 to instruct shooting of a moving image, a process of shooting a moving image is performed.

After completing the still image shooting and moving image shooting processing, the CPU 51 ends the camera-related processing,
The process proceeds to step S3 in FIG.

Next, FIG. 10 shows a detailed flow of the still image photographing process in step S16 of the flowchart of FIG.

In FIG. 10, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the camera has been normally started, that is, whether or not the capture program has been started and the operable camera has been recognized, as the process of step S21. . If the capture program cannot recognize an operable camera in step S21, the CPU 51 ends the still image shooting process, and proceeds to the process in step S17 in FIG.

On the other hand, if the capture program recognizes in step S21 that an operable camera is present, the CPU 51 proceeds to the processing in step S22.

When the process proceeds to step S22, the CPU 5
1 is the still image shooting button 221 by the user, for example.
Is pressed to determine whether or not an instruction to shoot a still image has been issued. If it is determined in step S22 that the still image shooting button 221 has not been pressed, the CPU 51 ends the still image shooting process and proceeds to the process in step S17 in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S22 that the still image shooting button 221 has been pressed, the CPU 51
Proceeds to the process of step S23.

When the process proceeds to step S23, the CPU 5
1 starts shooting of a still image, and inserts the shot still image at the cursor position on the document creation window 200. As a result, a still image is displayed on the document creation window 200. After the processing in step S23, the CPU
The process at 51 proceeds to the process at step S17 in FIG.

Next, FIG. 11 shows a detailed flow of the moving image photographing process in step S17 of the flowchart of FIG.

In FIG. 11, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the camera has been normally started, that is, whether or not the capture program has been started and an operable camera has been recognized, as the process of step S31. . If the capture program cannot recognize an operable camera in step S31, the CPU 51 ends the moving image shooting process.

On the other hand, if the capture program recognizes that there is an operable camera in step S31, the CPU 51 proceeds to step S32.

When the process proceeds to step S32, the CPU 5
For example, 1 determines whether or not the moving image shooting button 222 has been pressed by the user to instruct shooting of a moving image.
If it is determined in step S32 that the moving image shooting button 222 has not been pressed, the CPU 51 ends the moving image shooting processing. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S32 that the moving image shooting button 222 has been pressed,
U51 proceeds to the process in step S33.

When the process proceeds to step S33, the CPU 5
1 starts shooting of a moving image, that is, recording. After the process of step S33, the process of the CPU 51 proceeds to the process of step S34.

When the process proceeds to step S34, the CPU 5
1 is a moving image shooting button 222 by the user during recording.
Is pressed again to determine whether or not an instruction to end moving image shooting has been issued. If it is determined in step S34 that the moving image shooting button 222 has not been pressed again during recording, the CPU 51 repeats the determination processing in step S34, while determining that the moving image shooting button 222 has been pressed again during recording. If so, the process proceeds to step S35.

When the process proceeds to step S35, the CPU 5
1 terminates the shooting of the moving image, that is, ends the recording, and then inserts the shot moving image at the cursor position on the document creation window 200 as the process of step S36. As a result, the recorded moving image is displayed on the document creation window 200. After the process in step S36, the CPU 51 ends the moving image shooting process.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the capture program can be executed and operated on the document creation program, a page in which a still image or a moving image is pasted in the document can be easily created. Editable and HT
A series of operations for creating and editing an ML file is very easy.

Although the embodiment has been described with reference to an example in which an image is pasted into a document, the document creation program of the embodiment can directly execute and operate, for example, an application program as a music-related operation tool. And
Therefore, it is easy to create and edit an HTML file to which a sound is pasted.

A medium used to install a program for realizing the series of processes described above in a computer and to make it executable by the computer is, for example, a floppy disk or a CD-RO.
It may be realized not only by package media such as M and DVD, but also by a semiconductor memory or a magnetic disk in which a program is temporarily or permanently stored, and may be realized by a cable such as a local area network, the Internet, or digital satellite broadcasting. And a wireless communication medium, and various communication interfaces such as a router and a modem for transferring or receiving a program provided through these communication media. Means a broad concept including.
