Abstract

To obtain a kana-kanji conversion candidate the same as with a PC without necessity of unifying a Japanese conversion program and a use environment, even with an information processor different from a computer (shown as the PC) used by a user at ordinary times. The PC is equipped with a kana-kanji conversion unit which receives a character string through a network from the information processor (shown as a copying machine) and returns a conversion candidate. The copying machine is equipped with a UI unit for handling character input from the user and display to the user; a kana-kanji conversion unit which receives a character string input hereat and returns a conversion candidate; a conversion control unit which controls exchange among the UI unit, the kana-kanji conversion unit, and the kana-kanji conversion unit; and a PC identification unit which identifies the PC3 corresponding to a user using the copying machine. The conversion control unit sends a character string input through the UI unit to the kana-kanji conversion unit (and the kana-kanji conversion unit) in the identified PC3 to convert it therewith, and sends the result (conversion candidate) to the UI unit to display it.

Like this, as bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15, conversion control section 17 and PC determining section, it is to make control section 10 carry out the program of following steps that but place of execution is recorded in the Japanese conversion program of the bulk end among the ROM53 etc.: the PC determining step, determine the PC3 corresponding with the user who uses digital copier 1; Shift step, definite PC3 will hold and from PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion (Japanese conversion) step that PC3 accepts the conversion candidate, perhaps accept character string of being imported by this PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion step and UI part 25 and bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion (Japanese conversion) the step formation of returning the conversion candidate by being sent to via network by the character string that UI part 25 is imported; And step display as a result, for carrying out the shift step that constitutes by PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion step or PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion step and bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion step by the character string of UI part 25 input, and be that the conversion candidate sends to UI part 25 it is shown with the result of conversion.Like this, the present invention also can adopt the mode as the bulk end Japanese conversion program that is used for being assembled into digital copier 1.

More than, according to present embodiment, no matter which kind of Kana-Chinese character conversion software has been installed in digital copier 1, even for example be the Kana-Chinese character conversion software of putting into for special-purpose, also can utilize the result of conversion at the normally used PC3 end of user, therefore can access the result same with the conversion candidate of PC3.Thereby, in the information handling system (Japanese language input system) of present embodiment, even the digital copier 1 different with the normally used PC3 of user also needn't carry out the unification of unifying or utilize environment of Japanese conversion program, can access the Kana-Chinese character conversion candidate same with this PC3.

In addition, sometimes employed PC of family or the home computer of having assembled so-called AV equipment are as home server and common by all members of family, also can be in the following ways, a PC3 keeps a plurality of users dictionary separately to append information, obtains and the same result of user's transformation results separately at digital copier 1 end.

In other embodiment of the present invention, conversion control section 17 also can at first transmit the character string of being imported by UI part 25 and make its conversion bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15, with the result of this conversion is that the conversion candidate is sent to UI part 25 and makes its demonstration, basis is from the user's of UI part 25 inputs indication then, via network PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 is transmitted the character string of being imported by UI part 25 and makes its conversion, and the result who receives this conversion via network is the conversion candidate, is sent to UI part 25 and makes its demonstration.

Here, the processing corresponding with user's indication is the moment that shows the transformation results of bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 in UI part 25, by pressing transfer key or definite key waits to determine conversion in UI part 25, do not carry out the Kana-Chinese character conversion among the PC3 then by the user.On the other hand, same in the moment that the transformation results in the bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 is presented in the UI part 25, thereby press definite uncertain conversion of key in addition by the user in UI part 25, and transfer to the Kana-Chinese character conversion among the PC3 then.Promptly, the UI part 25 and the Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 of conversion control section 17 control figure duplicating machine 1 end, to import and send to the PC3 end one by one, return the candidate by PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35, and make the user can utilize the candidate of both sides' Kana-Chinese character conversion according to the conversion indication.In the present embodiment, because the interim transformation results that shows bulk end, so can not cause the delay that is indicated to candidate display from conversion.

In this embodiment, shift step in the Japanese conversion program of bulk end is passed through at first executive agent end Kana-Chinese character conversion step, thereby conversion is by the character string of UI part 25 inputs, and be that the conversion candidate sends to UI part 25 and makes its demonstration with the result of its conversion, then according to user's indication from 25 inputs of UI part, carry out PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion step, thereby transmit by the line translation of going forward side by side of the character string of UI part 25 inputs via network, and the result who receives its conversion via network is the conversion candidate, is sent to UI part 25 and makes its demonstration.

In addition, in other embodiment of the present invention, conversion control section 17 also can transmit the character string of being imported by UI part 25 and make its conversion by the PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 of each character input to definite PC3 via network.On the other hand, PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 is when digital copier 1 receives input character, if to before (preceding once till) character string of receiving carry out conversion process, then end conversion process, add the conversion of the character string of the input character that this time receives.Then, conversion control section 17 is the conversion candidate via the result that network receives successively as its conversion, and sends to UI part 25 and make its demonstration.Wait for that with UI part 25 back of accepting from user's transfer key or definite key etc. of pressing transmits character string and ask conversion candidate's processing to be compared the PC3 end, in the present embodiment, can make the conversion process of PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 follow the variation of input of character string, and prevent the delay of conversion.

In the present embodiment, shift step in the Japanese conversion program of bulk end is by carrying out PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion step, and transmit successively by the line translation of going forward side by side of the character string of UI part 25 inputs by the input of each character via network, and to receive its transformation results via network be the conversion candidate, is sent to UI part 25 and makes its demonstration.PC in the Japanese conversion program of bulk end end Kana-Chinese character conversion step at first in PC3 when digital copier 1 receives input character, if the preceding character string that once receives is carried out conversion process, then end conversion process, begin to add the conversion of the character string of the input character that this time receives.Then, accept its result's conversion candidate from PC3.

In addition, in the respective embodiments described above, conversion control section 17 also can be after the PC determining section have been determined PC3, via the running of the end of the PC in this PC3 of network validation Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35.Then, conversion control section 17 is preferably under the situation of the running that can not confirm PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35, only transmit by the character string of UI part 25 inputs and make its conversion, the conversion candidate of its transformation results is sent to UI part 25 and makes its demonstration bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15.Can not carry out useless communication according to present embodiment.

In addition, in this embodiment, can the PC3 that the shift step in the Japanese conversion program of bulk end is determined by the PC3 determining step via network validation carry out PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion step, under inexecutable situation, by executive agent end Kana-Chinese character conversion step only, thereby transmit by the line translation of going forward side by side of the character string of UI part 25 inputs, the conversion candidate of its transformation results is sent to UI part 25 drives row into and show.

In addition, in the respective embodiments described above, as shown in Figure 1, digit preference duplicating machine 1 and/or PC3 have authentification of user part 19,32.And, conversion control section 17 is under authentification of user part 19 can not the situation of authenticated, only bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 being transmitted the character string of being imported by UI part 25 and makes its conversion, is that the conversion candidate is sent to UI part 25 and makes its demonstration with its transformation results.The authentification of user here can be undertaken by authentification of user part 32 via network, perhaps also can authentification of

user part

19,32 by both party carry out.

The authentification of user of bulk end authentification of user part 19, self noncontact label T is aimed at digital copier 1 or self IC-card inserted the slot of user profile importation 25c or by the user by the ID of user profile importation 25c input self (and password etc.), thereby the user profile of reading, its result and user profile 18 are compared, and only under the situation of unanimity, think authentication success.Authentification of user in the PC end subscriber authentication section 32 preferably equally by reading user profile by digital copier 1, is sent to PC3 with its result, checks with the user profile in the not shown PC3 and carries out.Under the situation that or both sides can not authenticate, only bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 is transmitted input of character string and makes its conversion therein, so can prevent to leak user's use word information from PC3.

In addition, in the present embodiment, shift step in the Japanese conversion program of bulk end is included in digital copier 1 end and/or PC3 holds the user authentication process of carrying out authentification of user, under can not the situation of authenticated in this user authentication process, executive agent end Kana-Chinese character conversion step only, the line translation thereby the character string that transmission is imported by UI part 25 is gone forward side by side is that the conversion candidate is sent to UI part 25 and it is shown with its transformation results.

In addition, in the respective embodiments described above, as shown in Figure 1, digital copier 1 and PC3 preferably include encrypting and decrypting part 16,31.And character string and conversion candidate for send receiving via network between digital copier 1 and PC3 are partly encrypted by the encrypting and decrypting of transmitting terminal, by the encrypting and decrypting part of receiving end with this character string or conversion candidate deciphering of having encrypted.

In order input of character string and conversion candidate to be encrypted the back, at first need to discern mutually key etc., thereby in digital copier 1 and PC3, make the processing of encrypt/decrypt consistent by network exchange.For example, can keep privacy key,, perhaps also can in IC-card, wait to keep shared key at the open public-key cryptography corresponding of digital copier 1 end with it at the PC3 end.

And conversion control section 17 carries out following control, is promptly implemented after the encryption PC3 to be sent by bulk end encrypting and decrypting part 16 for the character string that sends to the PC3 end.In addition, in the control section 30 of PC3 end, carry out following control, the i.e. encrypted character string deciphering that will send by PC end encrypting and decrypting part 31, character string by PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 conversion deciphering, conversion candidate with the result encrypts by PC end encrypting and decrypting part 31, and sends to digital copier 1 end via network.In addition, conversion control section 17 is controlled, so that the enciphering transformation candidate who is received by 16 pairs of bulk end encrypting and decrypting parts is decrypted, and is shown by UI part 25.

According to present embodiment, can prevent that user's use word information from leaking because of the monitoring of network.The Japanese conversion program of such bulk end and PC end also can describe equally, and the relevant explanation of the program of present embodiment is omitted.

Below, the treatment scheme with the respective embodiments described above appropriate combination is described.At first, giving an example describes to the initialization process of digital copier 1 (making to become to use PC3 to carry out the processing of the state of Japanese conversion), and then, the Japanese conversion process of reality given an example to be illustrated.

Fig. 3 is the process flow diagram of an example of initialization process of digital copier end that is used for the information handling system of key diagram 1, and Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram of an example of initialization process of PC end that is used for the information handling system of key diagram 1.

At first, in digital copier 1, when starting with main body, perhaps with the starting of the processing that needs the Japanese conversion simultaneously, conversion control section 17 switches to the independent conversion of main body (step S1).Connect and see, conversion control section 17 judges and has or not IC-card (step S2), only carries out later processing under situation about having inserted.17 pairs of authentification of user parts of conversion control section 19 indication authentification of users, authentification of user part 19 with in user profile in the IC-card that inserts and the conversion control section 17 in advance stored user information 18 check (step S3).

Then, authentification of user part 19 judges whether finished authentication (step S4), and conversion control section 17 returns step S2 under the situation that can not authenticate, and under authentic situation, proceeds to step S5 then.In step S5, conversion control section 17 is in order to use user profile certified and carry out storer such as is read at processing.The processing here is the information as the user, determine to read its network address behind the corresponding PC3 by the PC determining section, or the user who reads in the bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 registers dictionary, or the information updating of reading the learning data of this user in the bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 is handled.In addition, in step S5, conversion control section 17 also can be under the situation that has increased additional fresh information as user profile in IC-card, perhaps write down under the situation of user profile after changing (for example about the PC corresponding information), by the user profile 18 of this information updating inside with the user.

Conversion control section 17 then transmits the change request (step S6) of setting to the PC3 corresponding with this user.For step S6, the processing of illustrative step S11～S16 in the execution graph 4 in corresponding PC3.

At first, the control section 30 of corresponding PC3 judges whether receive this request (step S11) from digital copier 1 by network I/F41, only when receiving, carries out the processing of later step S12～S16.

Then, control section 30 carries out and inner checking of stored user information in advance based on setting the user profile that comprises in the change request for 32 indications of authentification of user part, and authentification of user part 32 is carried out authentification of user (step S12).Then, authentification of user part 32 judges whether finished authentication (step S13), and control section 30 proceeds to step S16 under the situation that can not authenticate, and can not authentication result to digital copier 1 (conversion control section 17) transmission.

On the other hand, control section 30 is under the situation of having finished authentication, conversion input from as to return conversion candidate's processing certainly from the response of the input of PC3 itself, is switched to as the outside trust processing (step S14) of the response of the input that sends from digital copier 1 being returned the conversion candidate.In addition, in PC3, also can executed in parallel handle from processing and outside the trust.Then, control section 30 carries out the setting (step S15) that the setting of the key in the encrypting and decrypting part 31 etc. is encrypted, according to the authentification of user case of successful and as required and with the information of this key as for setting the change request responding, send to digital copier 1 (conversion control section 17) (step S16).In addition, also can in step S6, together notify the content of encrypting setting in advance, and notify the processing of execution in step S15 based on this with request.

Conversion control section 17 is receiving under the situation of the result among the step S16 via network I/F24, judges whether this result represents that corresponding PC3 can utilize (step S7), if can not utilize then end process.On the other hand, conversion control section 17 is being judged to be under the available situation of corresponding PC3, based on as required and the setting content of the encryption that in the result who receives, comprises, perhaps based on the setting content of in step S6, together notifying in advance with request, encrypt setting (step S9), finish initialization process.In addition, as mentioned above,, only under the situation that authentification of user finishes, can carry out the Kana-Chinese character conversion of then explanation and handle by initialization process.

Fig. 5 is the process flow diagram that is used for the example that the Kana-Chinese character conversion of digital copier end of the information handling system of key diagram 1 handles, and Fig. 6 is the process flow diagram that is used for the example that the Kana-Chinese character conversion of PC end of the information handling system of key diagram 1 handles.

Conversion process at first judges whether carried out character input (step S21) by the user by UI part 25 from conversion control section 17.Conversion control section 17 has in UI part 25 under the situation of character input, this character is sent to bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 (step S22), after encrypting, also send to PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 (the step S23) of corresponding PC3 simultaneously via network I/F24 by encrypting and decrypting part 16.The result of step S22 carries out the conversion corresponding with this character in bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15.The result of step S23 as narration in the back among step S31～S42, carries out the conversion for this character in PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35, its result is returned to conversion control section 17 via network.

Then, conversion control section 17 judges whether import (step S24) at wait character then, under the situation of waiting for input, return step S21, under the situation of not waiting for input, judgement has or not conversion indication (S25).In step S24, the situation that the key of determining key or transfer key or other processing is not pressed is judged to be the wait input.In step S25, determining under the situation that key or transfer key etc. are pressed, be judged to be the conversion indication.

Conversion control section 17 is under the situation that the conversion indication is arranged, the transformation results that receives in the bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 is conversion candidate (step S26), and indication UI part 25 demonstration first candidates (step S27) wherein, UI part 25 shows as indicated.No matter the front and back of the demonstration in step S27, the transformation results that receives in the PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 is the conversion candidate, and connect and see or behind step S27, indicate based on the user, deciphering (step S28) in encrypting and decrypting part 16, and indication UI part 25 demonstration first candidates wherein, UI part 25 shows as indicated.

The conversion process of PC end is described here.Control section 30 judges whether receive data (step S31) from digital copier 1, only under situation about receiving, carries out following processing.At first, control section 30 makes 31 deciphering of encrypting and decrypting part receive data (step S32), and judges by above-mentioned PC end initialization process whether finished authentication (step S33), end process under the situation that can not authenticate.In addition, be not limited to the end here, even do not return any result and under the situation of end process, also can return the mistakes such as situation that to visit being illustrated as to digital copier 1.

Under the situation that authentication finishes in step S33, control section 30 judges whether the data after the deciphering are to end indication (step S34), be to end under the situation of indication, conversion (step S41) till PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 is judged before current whether the execution once, end conversion (step S42) under the situation in conversion, end process be not under the situation in the conversion, with regard to this end process.

Control section 30 is judged to be in step S34 and is not to end under the situation of indication, judge whether the data after the deciphering are conversion indication (step S35), if the conversion indication then waits end to be transformed (step S39), by encrypting and decrypting part 31 enciphering transformation candidates, and send to digital copier 1 (step S40), end process.On the other hand, control section 30 is being judged to be under the situation that is not the conversion indication, judge current whether just at conversion (step S36), if the just processing (step S37) of the conversion till once in conversion then before ending through PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35, to the 35 indication beginning conversion of PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part, and beginning conversion (step S38), return step S31.

Fig. 7 is used for enumerating the figure that concrete character example illustrates the process that the Kana-Chinese character conversion of the information handling system of Fig. 1 is handled.At first, illustrate, wish to obtain user's operation under the situation of transformation results in " river early " 109 and the processing among main body/PC under the situation of UI part 25 input character successively " は " 101, " や " 102, " か " 104, " わ " 106.

Be transfused at " は " 101, and the stage that " や " 102 is transfused to, if the transformation results in the bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 for example is " early " 103, then the user uses definite " early " 103 such as determining key at this point, thereby makes the counter-rotating character become normal demonstration.Then, imported " か " at 104 o'clock, the transformation results in bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 is under the situation of " day " 105, though it is shown, but, hold the transformation results in the Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 so then wait for PC because the user can not adopt.The user then carries out the input of " わ " 106.Input " わ " 106 o'clock,, also its cancellation is carried out Kana-Chinese character conversion to " かわ " 107 even PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 is being carried out conversion to " か " 104.At the input results of " わ " 106, the transformation results in the bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 is under the situation of " かわ " 107, waits for the result of PC end.PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 is carried out conversion for " かわ " 107, and its result is " river " 108.This result shows that with counter-rotating then definite " river " 108 of being somebody's turn to do but definite key is pressed makes the counter-rotating character become common character, shows " river morning " 109 of net result.

The present invention more than has been described, but the explanation of adjective distribution has been replenished.The Japanese conversion program of the Japanese conversion program of Fig. 1 and digital copier end of the present invention illustrated in fig. 2 and/or PC end (particularly to receiving the program that character returns conversion candidate's part) preferably together is stored in as required and with data such as dictionary and scatters in the recording medium of embodied on computer readable, or distributes via network.As such recording medium, specifically, can suppose CD-ROM, photomagneto disk, DVD-ROM, FD, flash memory and other various ROM or RAM etc.And, as mentioned above, circulate, thereby easily realize function of the present invention by program is recorded in the recording medium.

For example, in PC etc., install as above-mentioned recording medium, be sent to the control section of digital copier after the reading number duplicating machine end program, perhaps thereby aforesaid recording medium reading number duplicating machine end program is installed in digital copier and is sent to inner control part and grades, thereby but digital copier end program place of execution can be stored in the digital copier.In addition, in PC, install as above-mentioned recording medium, read PC end program and send to the PC control part by PC and grade, thereby but PC can be held the program place of execution be stored among the PC.And, with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 as mentioned above,, can carry out function of the present invention by reading these programs as required.

Below, as illustrated referring to figs. 1 through Fig. 7, according to the present invention, even with the different signal conditioning package of the normally used computing machine of user, also needn't carry out unifying or utilizing the unification of environment and can access the Kana-Chinese character conversion candidate same of Japanese conversion program with this computing machine.

Then, illustrate that with reference to Fig. 2, Fig. 8 to Figure 12 the dictionary of the Kana-Chinese character conversion of the present invention that also can be applicable to above-mentioned information handling system appends the generation processing of information.

Information handling system of the present invention with signal conditioning package by under network and the state that computing machines (being not restricted to fixed/movable-type) such as normally used PC of user or workstation are connected, the dictionary of being used by this computing machine generation signal conditioning package appends information, thereby can obtain the Japanese conversion candidate same with this computing machine.Computing machine of the present invention or signal conditioning package are provided in the following information handling system, omit their independent explanation basically.In addition,, carry out illustration with PC as computing machine, but also can be applied to workstation or other computing machines such as home computer of merging with device set-top box or TV in.Even this information handling system is the Japanese language input system that also can access the candidate corresponding with the user who is using under the environment that has connected a plurality of PC for a signal conditioning package.Certainly, as system architecture, a signal conditioning package can only connect a lines allusion quotation and append the PC that information generates the destination, also can connect many, also can connect many such signal conditioning packages (PC that the information of appending of the dictionary under this situation generates the destination also allows to repeat certainly) between signal conditioning package.This signal conditioning package needs and can connect by network, generally with a plurality of PC (the normally used PC of each user) as host apparatus, the dictionary of carrying out following explanation appends that obtaining of information handled and the Kana-Chinese character conversion of using dictionary to append information is handled.

In addition, an example as signal conditioning package, in the following description, only enumerating digital copier 1 describes, but,, then can use equally so long as can connect (network equipment) by network for the signal conditioning package of all kinds such as various registers of compounding machine (MFP), facsimile unit, television receiver, recording voice or image/sound, in addition, the PC (the common obsolete PC of user) for other also can use.For other PC, obtain situation (hope obtains the situation that dictionary appends information) with the same Japanese conversion candidate of the normally used PC of user as hope, for example, the PC that enumerates usually with fixed carries out operation, use mobile PC or be arranged on the situation etc. of the PC in other place in discussion etc.

Fig. 8 is the functional-block diagram of a configuration example of the information handling system of expression an embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 2 is the figure of configuration example of the control section of digital copier end in the information handling system of presentation graphs 8 and PC end.

In Fig. 8 and Fig. 2, the 1st, as the digital copier of an example of signal conditioning package, the 2nd, as the LAN (Local Area Network) of an example of network, the 3rd, PC, the 5th, control section, T are the noncontact labels.Illustrative information handling system is constructed by being connected by LAN2 with two PC3 by a digital copier 1 among Fig. 8.

PC3 comprises: network I/F (interface) 41, carry out and the communicating by letter of external unit; Display part 42 is made of display device such as LCD monitor; Importation 43 is made of keyboard or mouse etc.; Recording pointer 44 uses when the touch panel that adopts as an example of display part 42 and importation 43; Hard disk 45 has write down various programs or data file; And control section 30, they are controlled.In addition, only be connected, be not limited to this with control section 30 though illustrate network I/F41.

As illustrative among Fig. 2 as control section 5, control section 30 has comprised storer such as CPU (central arithmetic processing apparatus) 51, RAM (Random Access Memory) 52, the readable recording ROM (Read Only Memory) of OS (Operation System) or rewritable ROM53, from the input I/F54 of the outside of control section 5 and to the output I/F55 of the outside of control section 5, they connect by bus 56.And, be stored among the RAM52 when information of processing is in this processing in control section 5 (being control section 30 here) temporarily, then, be stored in various ROM53 or the hard disk, and read by CPU51 as required, revise/write.

In the control section 30, at least to can be used as the OS place of execution and to be assembled with Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary (being called PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary in order distinguishing) 34 and Kana-Chinese character conversion part (being called PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part in order distinguishing) 35, more preferably also can be used as the OS place of execution and be assembled with encrypting and decrypting part 31, authentification of user part 32 and various driver 33 with Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 described later with Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 described later.In other words, these positions 31～35 are recorded in ROM53 etc. by the PC end program (being equivalent to above-mentioned OS) that will be used for making PC3 to have as the function at each position, and the RAM52 that reads into as execution area of CPU51 goes up and carries out thus, thereby installs.

PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 is the characters that are transfused to for by user's operation, with reference to PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 34, log-on data 34a and learning data 35a, the conversion fraction thereby the PC first day of the lunar year of returning conversion candidate (generally from the high demonstration successively of priority) speaks.PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 and PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 34 are for example as ATOK (registered trademark) or MS-IME Kana-Chinese character conversion softwares such as (registered trademarks), but place of execution is assembled among the OS.

Here, PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 34 is meant the data of the Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary that is attached to Kana-Chinese character conversion software, log-on data 34a is meant the supplemental data of the dictionary that the user registers, and learning data 35a is meant the supplemental data that is used for preferentially returning by the high word of the usage frequency of learning functionality generation.Log-on data 34a and learning data 35a etc. are stored in the hard disk 45 etc. in addition and read as required and get final product.In addition, principal character of the present invention described later is that dictionary generation application 38 and various application etc. together are stored in the hard disk 45, reads into RAM52 from hard disk 45 and is upward carried out by CPU51.In addition, in Fig. 8, show the state that dictionary generates application 38 and read by RAM52 by digital copier 1 end (bulk end) the Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 of its generation.

In addition, sometimes as the program that does not comprise among the OS Chinese character assumed name conversion software is installed, when carrying out, read, but the explanation under this situation can fully replace by the explanation that is assembled among the OS as PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 (and PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 34) as application.

PC3 in the present embodiment generate to use 38 as dictionary, has that dictionary appends the information generating portion and dictionary appends the information output part branch.Dictionary appends the information generating portion for the common dictionary that receives from digital copier 1 by network I/F41 via networks such as LAN2 (Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary) 14, use this Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 and PC end log-on data 34a and learning data 35a, generate duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 (the log-on data 14a of digital copier 1 usefulness and learning data 15a).Dictionary appends the information output part branch outside output is appended the dictionary data 37 that the information generating portion generates by dictionary.In addition, dictionary append the part that the generation in the information generating portion handles also can be to digital copier 1 request that sends the source.In this case, can receive the data that generate as the request response, also can not receive and this part is registered in self at digital copier 1 end from digital copier 1.

For example, generate the Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 that application 38 obtains digital copier 1 end by dictionary, compare by the word of PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 and study or registration etc., thereby the dictionary that generates digital copier 1 usefulness appends information, and the outside is exported so that the user can be in digital copier 1 end utilization.In addition, above-mentioned dictionary generation application 38 also can comprise and be used to generate log-on data 34a and the learning data 35a that is used for PC3.

In addition, but append information generating portion and dictionary as dictionary to append the program (dictionary generates and uses 38) that information output part divides place of execution to be recorded in the PC3 end among the ROM53 etc. be to be used to make PC3 (CPU51 etc.) carry out the program of following steps: the step that receives from digital copier 1 by network I/F41 via networks such as LAN2; For the Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 that receives, use the log-on data 34a and the learning data 35a of this Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 and PC end, generate the step of duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 (the log-on data 14a of digital copier 1 usefulness and learning data 15a); The outside is exported the step of the dictionary data 37 that generates.Like this, the present invention also can adopt the mode of PC end program that is connected to the PC3 of digital copier 1 via network as being used for being assembled in.

On the other hand, digital copier 1 comprises as the general structure of digital copier: from the image reading section 21 of original copy reading images, to the image processing section 22 of the enforcement Flame Image Process such as view data that read by image reading section 21, by the view data of having carried out Flame Image Process by image processing section 22 in the image forming portion 23 that forms image with recording mediums such as paper, carry out and the network I/F24 that communicates by letter, the user interface part (UI part) 25 of external unit and the control section 10 of controlling them.But, in the digital copier 1 in the present embodiment, in control section 10, have the position described later of the present invention that in general structure, does not have.In addition, only be connected, be not limited to this with conversion control section 17 though illustrate network I/F24.

UI part 25 comprises: display part 25a, the picture of display operation object, operating result, operation guide etc.; Importation 25b, the operating area on the touch panel that constitutes jointly by action button or with display part 25a etc. constitutes, and accepts user's operation; And from IC-card or noncontact label T the receiving unit of data or from the user profile importation 25c of identical importation 25b input user profile in the reading tag.UI part 25 is handled from user's character input or to user's demonstration.In fact, as described later, UI part 25 by the character that importation 25b accepts, is sent to conversion control section 17 for the user, and by the Kana-Chinese character conversion result of 25a demonstration in display part as its response.

In addition, in the digital copier 1 in the present embodiment, in control section 10, with each while such as position 11～13 grades, at least to comprise Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary (being called bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary in order distinguishing) 14, Kana-Chinese character conversion part (being called bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part in order distinguishing) 15 and conversion control section 17, more preferably to comprise encrypting and decrypting part 16 with PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 with PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 34.Have authentification of user part 19 in the conversion control section 17, stored the employed user profile 18 of authentication of authentification of user part 19.

These positions 14～19 are as the bulk end program and but place of execution is assembled in the control section 10.In other words, these positions 14～19, in control section 10, be recorded in ROM53 etc. by the bulk end program that will be used for making control section 10 to have, and the RAM52 that is read into as execution area by CPU51 thus goes up and carry out, thereby install as the function of each several part.

As mentioned above, bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 in the present embodiment is character strings of accepting from 25 inputs of UI part, with reference to bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14, log-on data 14a and learning data 15a, the bulk end Japanese conversion fraction that conversion candidate (generally can under the high state that shows successively of priority) is returned.Bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 and bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 are for example not only as ATOK (registered trademark) or MS-IME general Kana-Chinese character conversion softwares such as (registered trademarks), and conduct for example special-purpose Kana-Chinese character conversion software in addition, but also can be assembled in the control section 10 by place of execution.

Here, bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 is the data that are attached to the Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary of Kana-Chinese character conversion software, log-on data 14a is meant the supplemental data of the dictionary that the user registers, and learning data 15a is meant the supplemental data that is used for preferentially returning by the high word of the usage frequency of learning functionality generation.Log-on data 14a and learning data 15a etc. are stored in the hard disk etc. in addition and read as required and get final product.

Conversion control section 17 as characteristic of the present invention, carries out following control: by user's operation or according to the request from PC3, PC3 is sent the control of Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 via networks such as LAN2; And the control of accepting (acceptance renewal) duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 (the log-on data 14a and the learning data 15a that are used for digital copier 1) as its response from the outside.About receiving method, enumerate example narration in the back, in response and the log-on data 14a and the learning data 15a that generate are generated by above-mentioned PC3 from the outside.

Like this, as conversion control section 17, but the bulk end program that place of execution is recorded among the ROM53 etc. is to make control section 10 carry out the program of following steps: by user's operation or according to the request from PC3, PC3 is sent the step of the control of Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 via networks such as LAN2; Accept the step of (acceptance renewal) duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 from the outside as its response; And pseudonymity Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 and the duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 (log-on data 14a and learning data 15a) accepted from the outside make Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 carry out the step of the control of conversion.Like this, the present invention also can adopt the mode as the bulk end program that is used for being assembled into digital copier 1.In addition, as the bulk end program, also can assemble in the lump and be used to make control section 10 to have the functional programs of bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15.

In addition, in order to have the access right that the request from which PC3 is responded, also can determine the PC3 corresponding by conversion control section 17 with the user who uses digital copier 1.In addition,, also keep the corresponding tables of user and PC, also can determine PC3 with reference to this table as the employed user profile 18 of the authentification of user of authentification of user part 19.In addition, conversion control section 17 is also controlled the exchange between UI part 25 and PC end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 35 and the bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15.

More than, according to present embodiment, can append the dictionary that information (study and registration word) generates the Kana-Chinese character conversion that main body uses based on the dictionary of the dictionary of bulk end and PC end and append information.Thereby, in the information handling system (Japanese language input system) of present embodiment, no matter which kind of Kana-Chinese character conversion software is installed in the digital copier 1 different with the normally used PC3 of user, even for example be the Kana-Chinese character conversion software of putting into for special-purpose, also can in this digital copier 1, reflect registration word or learning content among the normally used PC3 of user, and can obtain the Japanese transformation results same by this digital copier 1 with this PC3.

In addition, sometimes employed PC of family or the home computer of having assembled so-called AV equipment are as home server and common by all members of family, also can be in the following ways, a PC3 generates a plurality of users dictionary separately and appends information, in digital copier 1, use the line translation of going forward side by side of user's dictionary information of appending separately separately dictionary information of appending of generating, also can access the same result of transformation results who carries out with PC3 usually with each user at digital copier 1 end.

In addition, the dictionary of digital copier 1 end appends the information (log-on data) of the registration word that the dictionary information of appending of information and PC3 end is not limited to append and the information (learning data) of learning content, also can only be the information of the registration word that appends or learning content information only one of them.For example, according to whether the registration word is arranged in the dictionary of digital copier 1 end, also can select suitable dictionary to append information.In addition, the dictionary that appends the generation of information generating portion as the dictionary by PC3 appends information, even the such data corresponding with learning data 15a also can all generate as log-on data 14a.

And then, to be illustrated as Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 from the object that digital copier 1 sends to PC3, but also log-on data 14a and the learning data 15a that delivery time exists also can be sent to digital copier 1 in the lump, based on the data that send at the PC3 end, generate application 38 generation/output duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 (the new log-on data 14a and the learning data 15a that are used for digital copier 1) by dictionary.

In this case, in conversion control section 17, duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 by will output overrides on existing log-on data 14a and the learning data 15a, perhaps by appending, thus registration updating data 14a and learning data 15a.In addition, under situation about overriding, preferably dictionary generates and uses 38 parts that only Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 generated duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 from the difference of the log-on data 34a of PC end and learning data 35a, append the log-on data 34a of PC3 end and the difference part of learning data 35a for existing log-on data 14a that sends from digital copier 1 and learning data 15a simultaneously, thereby generate the remainder of duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37.

In addition, also can carry out the outside output and being taken into of duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 via networks such as LAN2 at digital copier 1.In this case, dictionary appends the information output part branch and has the transmission part that the digital copier 1 of the reception sources of Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 is sent log-on data 14a and learning data 15a via network.Sending part divides via network I/F41 carries out transmission by LAN2.And then conversion control section 17 carries out pseudonymity Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 and divides the duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 that sends and receive to make bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 carry out the control of conversion by sending part.

As other method, also can via IC-card etc. movably storage medium (following illustrate) with IC-card carry out the outside output of duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 and being taken into of digital copier 1.In this case, digital copier 1 need have the storage medium reading section from the IC-card reading of data, and the example of a part that is provided as the user profile importation has been shown among Fig. 8.In addition, the dictionary of PC3 end appends the information output part branch to have the storage medium that IC-card is write duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 and writes part, in Fig. 8 illustration IC-card write device 46.And then conversion control section 17 carries out pseudonymity Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 and makes bulk end Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 carry out the control of conversion from the duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 that IC-card reads.In addition, can select to adopt by the user, also can have both sides' function in order to make via the method for above-mentioned network with via any one of the method for IC-card.

In other embodiment of the present invention, conversion control section 17 has confirms that the PC that whether exists dictionary to append the information generating portion among the PC3 confirms part, and only exist dictionary to append under the situation of information generating portion, carrying out PC3 being sent the control of Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 (and existing log-on data 14a and learning data 15a) via network.

Do not need this PC to confirm part when generating the Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 that is used for digital copier 1 producing action from PC3.Only producing under the situation of action from digital copier 1, for example, at first, obtaining under the situation of affirmation, whether existing this inner dictionary to generate via network validation and use 38 the PC3 that determines by the user running (also can monitor all the time) via network validation PC3.As other method, PC confirms part also can to obtain request by the dictionary data that receives from PC3, and to confirm to generate the application of this request be that dictionary generates and uses 38.

In addition, even generate using 38 existence, dictionary only confirms certainly under the situation of the Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 that has dictionary application also can generate to be used to the digital copier 1 that becomes target, to be identified as existence.That is, the Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 from be assembled in digital copier 1, the only recognition result that output exists under the situation that can generate suitable Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37.Thus, not only can prevent to leak and the relevant data of dictionary (vocabulary), and can not carry out useless transmission via network.

In addition, in the respective embodiments described above, as shown in Figure 8, digit preference duplicating machine 1 and/or PC3 have authentification of user part 19,32.And conversion control section 17 is preferably in authentification of user part 19 and fails under the situation of authenticated, and the log-on data 14a and the learning data 15a of Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 and the current use of this user do not sent to PC3.The authentification of user here can be carried out via network by authentification of user part 32, also can authentification of

user part

19,32 by both party carry out.

The authentification of user of authentification of user part 19, self noncontact label T is aimed at digital copier 1 or self IC-card inserted the slot of user profile importation 25c or by the ID (and password) of user profile importation 25c input self etc. by the user, thereby the user profile of reading, its result and user profile 18 are compared, and only under the situation of unanimity, think authentication success.Authentification of user in the PC end subscriber authentication section 32 preferably equally by reading user profile by digital copier 1, is sent to PC3 with its result, checks with the user profile in the not shown PC3 and carries out.

Especially in regard to authentification of user, the dictionary of PC3 appends the information output part branch and preferably the duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 of generation and the subscriber-related user profile of these data 37 of permission to use is together outputed to the outside.Thereby the user profile here for example can be imported ID or password or read from the IC-card that inserts PC3 and obtain by the user on PC3, perhaps can be by PC3 end being sent by digital copier 1 end stored user information 18 or by user profile importation the 25c directly ID or the password from IC-card or noncontact label T etc., read of input in advance, thus obtain by the PC3 end.

And authentification of user part 19 will be read from this IC-card or reception data by recording the IC-card from PC3 or sending the information that is used for authenticating that outputs to the outside by network.17 controls of conversion control section make it possible to only under the situation of having confirmed the user, by the duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 execution conversion of Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 uses from outside acceptance.Here, conversion control section 17 also can be controlled and only make it possible under the situation of having confirmed the user, reads the duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data of accepting from the outside 37.In addition, basically, in digital copier 1 and PC3, can be to each user storage log-on data or learning data.Thus, can prevent to leak the relevant data of using with the user of dictionary (vocabulary), and can not carry out useless transmission.

In addition, in the respective embodiments described above, as shown in Figure 8, digital copier 1 and PC3 preferably have encrypting and decrypting part 16,31.And, between digital copier 1 and PC3, sending each

data

14,37,14a, the 15a that receives, partly encrypt, and this data encrypted is deciphered by the encrypting and decrypting part of receiving end by the encrypting and decrypting of transmitting terminal via network or via IC-card.

Thus, can prevent the leakage of the data relevant that the monitoring of network or IC-card causes with dictionary (vocabulary).In fact, for data encryption after exchange by network or IC-card etc., at first need to discern mutually key etc., thereby in digital copier 1 and PC3, make the processing of encrypt/decrypt consistent.For example, can keep privacy key,, perhaps also can in IC-card, wait to keep shared key at the open public-key cryptography corresponding of digital copier 1 end with it at the PC3 end.

In addition, in the respective embodiments described above, PC3 preferably has deletion, the Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 that will receive from digital copier 1 and log-on data 14a and the learning data 15a or the user profile etc. of the current use of this user are deleted generated duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 for these data after being appended the information generating portion by dictionary.In addition, in this deletion, also the duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 of deletion output can appended by dictionary after the information output part branch outputs to the outside.

Below, the flow process with the processing of the respective embodiments described above appropriate combination is described.Giving an example illustrates to generate processing (dictionary appends the generation of information and handles) about the dictionary of carrying out at the PC3 end, at this moment, handle about the transmission processing of the Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 carried out at digital copier 1 end and transmission that dictionary appends information (log-on data 14a and learning data 15a) and also describe.Then, giving an example describes about the initialization process (the dictionary information of appending is taken into processing) of digital copier 1.

Fig. 9 is the process flow diagram that the dictionary of PC end that is used for the information handling system of key diagram 8 generates an example of handling, Figure 10 is the process flow diagram that is used for the example that the assumed name Chinese character dictionary of digital copier end of the information handling system of key diagram 8 send to handle, Figure 11 is that the dictionary of digital copier end that is used for the information handling system of key diagram 8 appends the process flow diagram that information sends an example of handling, and Figure 12 is the process flow diagram of an example of initialization process of digital copier end that is used for the information handling system of key diagram 8.

As Fig. 9, the dictionary among the PC3 generates to handle and at first carries out authentification of user (step S51) by authentification of user part 32, and only under the situation that authentication finishes ("Yes" among the step S52) carries out later processing.Dictionary generates application 38 and at first carries out such authentification of user, obtains the dictionary data of digital copier 1 end after authentication, i.e. Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 (and user profile) (step S53).Here, digital copier 1 is sent the request that obtains of dictionary data.

With reference to Figure 10, the processing of being carried out by digital copier 1 end is described when dictionary data in step S53 obtains.At first, conversion control section 17 judges that whether receiving dictionary data via network from PC3 obtains request (step S71), and only carries out later processing under situation about receiving.In addition, also can produce action, except step S71, also increase the processing of the update request that whether has been used to judge by user's operation acceptance dictionary data from digital copier 1 in order to make.

The PC of conversion control section 17 confirms that part obtains request by the dictionary data that receives, the dictionary that is applied as that authentication has generated this request generates application 38 (step S72), conversion control section 17 is under the situation that authentication finishes ("Yes" among the step S73) only, read dictionary data (Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary 14 etc.), and PC3 is sent this dictionary data (step S74) by network I/F24.

Return Fig. 9, dictionary generates application 38 and follows the circulation that step S53 execution is included in the study/registration word between step S54 and the step S60.At first, searching word from the dictionary data that receives (step S55) judges whether pronunciation/souvenir mates (step S56) with log-on data 34a and learning data 35a.Under unmatched situation, be non-existent word in the digital copier 1, this word is counted in the registration word (step S57).On the other hand, under the situation of pronunciation in step S56/souvenir coupling, judge whether part of speech mates (step S58), this word is counted in learning word (step S59), do not count if part of speech matches in the registration word (step S57) if part of speech mates.

Carry out above-mentioned circulation for whole log-on data 34a and learning data 35a, in the moment of loop ends, dictionary generates uses 38 generation duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data, 37 (step S61).Here, for the word that in step S57, count down in the registration word, generate duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 as log-on data 14a, for the word that in step S59, count down in the learning word, generate duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 as learning data 15a.

Then, dictionary generate to be used 38 and is generated used in copy machines learning information (step S62) in order to make duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 become the data that digital copier 1 can append.The processing of step S62 is because learning process is generally underground, and therefore a lot of situations need be carried out rather than carry out at the PC3 end at digital copier 1 end.Therefore, in step S62, learning information is generated request and the digital copier 1 that the result after the learning information encryption of formation object is together sent to reception sources.

With reference to Figure 11, when the learning information generation in step S62 is described, by the processing of digital copier 1 end execution.At first, conversion control section 17 judges that whether receiving learning information via network from PC3 generates request (step S81), and only carries out later processing under situation about receiving.In addition, also can produce action, except step S81, also increase and whether be used for judging that by user's operation acceptance learning information generates processing of request from digital copier 1 in order to make.

The PC of conversion control section 17 confirms that part is same with step S72, S73, carry out the authentication (step S82, S83) that dictionary generates application 38, conversion control section 17 is under the situation that authentication finishes ("Yes" among the step S83) only, to generate the data decode (step S84) that request together receives with learning information, and Kana-Chinese character conversion part 15 be generated learning data 15a (step S85) based on this learning information.PC3 is sent in the learning information (being learning data 15a here) (step S86) that generates among the step S85 by network I/F24.

Return Fig. 9, dictionary generate to be used 38 and is received in the learning data 15a that sends among the step S86 via network I/F41, make IC-card write device 46 as duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37, learning data 15a that receives and the log-on data 14a that generates in step S61 are together write IC-card (step S63).The processing of PC3 end finishes at this point.

The user extracts the IC-card that is written into duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 and inserts in the IC-card reader of user profile importation 25 of digital copier 1 in PC3.With reference to Figure 12,17 judgements of conversion control section have or not IC-card (step S91), only the processing below carrying out under the situation about existing.At first, authentification of user part 19 is read user profile from IC-card, and compares with stored user information 18 in advance, thereby carries out authentification of user (step S92).Then, conversion control section 17 is differentiated the authentication result (step S93) of authentification of user part 19, only execution in step S94, S95 under the situation that authentication finishes.

In step S94, conversion control section 17 is read from IC-card and is appended dictionary (log-on data 14a) in the duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37, and with the data supplementing of reading or override the log-on data 14a that upgrades in the control section 10.In step S95, conversion control section 17 is read the learning information (learning data 15a) in the duplicating machine end Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary data 37 from IC-card, and with the data supplementing of reading or override the learning data 15a that upgrades in the control section 10.In addition, each user and be used for each user's log-on data 14a and user profile 18 that learning data 15a is stored in digital copier 1 explicitly in, also to the renewal among the user data execution in step S94, the S95 that become object.

By the initialization (initialization of Japanese conversion fraction) of carrying out such digital copier 1, registration word among the normally used PC3 of user or learning content can be reflected in this digital copier 1, and can obtain the Japanese transformation results same by this digital copier 1 with this PC3.

The present invention more than has been described, but the explanation of adjective distribution has been replenished.The program of the program of Fig. 8 and digital copier end of the present invention illustrated in fig. 2 and/or PC end preferably together is stored in as required and with data such as dictionary and scatters in the recording medium of embodied on computer readable, perhaps distributes via network.As such recording medium, specifically, can suppose CD-ROM, photomagneto disk, DVD-ROM, FD, flash memory and other various ROM or RAM etc.And, as mentioned above, circulate, thereby easily realize function of the present invention by program is recorded in the recording medium.

For example, in PC etc., install as above-mentioned recording medium, be sent to the control section of digital copier after the reading number duplicating machine end program, perhaps thereby aforesaid recording medium reading number duplicating machine end program is installed in digital copier and is sent to inner control part and grades, thereby but digital copier end program place of execution can be stored in the digital copier.In addition, in PC, install as above-mentioned recording medium, read PC end program and be sent to the PC control part by PC and grade, thereby but PC can be held the program place of execution be stored among the PC.And, with reference to Fig. 8 and Fig. 2 as mentioned above,, can carry out function of the present invention by reading these programs as required.

Below, illustrated as reference Fig. 2, Fig. 8 to Figure 12, according to the present invention, even with the different signal conditioning package of the normally used computing machine of user, also needn't carry out the unification of unifying or utilize environment of Japanese conversion program, the dictionary that can generate the Kana-Chinese character conversion that this signal conditioning package uses appends information, so that can access the Kana-Chinese character conversion candidate same with this computing machine.
