The control device 300 controls the display device 200, the communication device 140, and the storage device 150, for example, according to the operation of the operation device 120 by an operator.

  FIG. 7 shows a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 100. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a template selection unit 160. The template selection unit 160 selects a template (standard format) used for creating a document such as the menu 900 from the template database 762, for example. As a template stored in the template database 762, for example, a template for creating a menu for a restaurant such as the menu 900, for example, a template for creating a sticker used in an accommodation facility, a public facility, etc. A template for creating various documents such as a template for creating an e-mail, for example, a template for creating a New Year's card can be listed.

  In this embodiment, the template database 762 is stored in the storage device 742 outside the information processing apparatus 100, but the template database 762 may be stored in the information processing apparatus 100. For example, the storage device 150 (see FIG. 6) may store the template database 762.

  The information processing apparatus 100 further includes a data receiving unit 162. The data reception unit 162 receives data input by operating the operation device 120, for example. Here, the data receiving unit 162 can receive at least text data and image data.

  The information processing apparatus 100 further includes data conversion means 164. When the data received by the data receiving unit 162 is image data, the data converting unit 164 converts the received image data into text data. Here, the data conversion unit 164 performs image analysis on the image data received by the data reception unit 162 and extracts text information from the image. For example, the image received by the data receiving means is converted into text data relating to the name of the dish included in the image and the name of the ingredient of the dish included in the image.

  The information processing apparatus 100 further includes a disassembling unit 166. The decomposition unit 166 decomposes the text data received by the data reception unit and the text data converted from the image data by the data conversion unit 164 into words. For example, the data of “strawberry tart” in the text data received by the data receiving unit 162 is decomposed into the word “strawberry” and the word “tart”.

  The information processing apparatus 100 further includes search key search means 168. The search key search unit 168 refers to the search key database 764 and searches for and extracts a search key from each word decomposed by the decomposition unit 166. Details of the search key database 764 will be described later.

  In this embodiment, the search key database 764 is stored in the storage device 746 outside the information processing apparatus 100, but the search key database 764 may be stored in the information processing apparatus 100. For example, the storage device 150 (see FIG. 6) may store the search key database 764.

  The information processing apparatus 100 further includes pictogram search means 170. The pictogram search means 170 searches the pictogram 910 including the search key searched by the search key search means 168 with reference to the pictogram database 766 and extracts it. Details of the pictogram database 766 will be described later.

  In this embodiment, the search key database 764 is stored in the storage device 742 outside the information processing apparatus 100, but the search key database 764 may be stored in the information processing apparatus 100. For example, the storage device 150 (see FIG. 6) may store the search key database 764.

  The information processing apparatus 100 further includes a display unit 172. Display means 172 displays pictogram 910 candidates on screen 210 so that the pictogram 910 extracted by pictogram search means 170 can be inserted into the template selected by template selection means 160.

  As described above, in the information processing apparatus 100, when the data receiving unit 162 receives data, the display unit 172 displays on the screen 210 candidates for the pictogram 910 to be displayed on the document being created. For this reason, compared with the technique in which the candidate of the pictogram 910 is not displayed on the screen 210, the display of the pictogram 910 on the document can be made less likely to occur. Furthermore, as compared with a technique in which no candidate for the pictogram 910 is displayed on the screen 210, the operation of selecting the pictogram 910 by the operator (document creator) can be performed easily and in a short time. .

  The functions of the template selection unit 160, the data reception unit 162, the data conversion unit 164, the decomposition unit 166, the search key search unit 168, the pictogram search unit 170, and the display unit 172 are, for example, for document creation stored in the storage device 150. This is realized by the control device 300 executing the application (document creation program).

  FIG. 8 illustrates the structure of data stored in the search key database 764. As shown in FIG. 8, the search key database 764 stores words and search keys associated with the words as rows. For example, a search key for a word “Tart” and “Butter” associated with the word “Tart” is stored as a row. In addition, for example, a search key for a word “tart” and “powdered sugar” associated with the word “tart” is stored as a row. Thus, in the search key database, another word related to the word is stored in association with each other.

  FIG. 9 illustrates the structure of data stored in the pictogram database 766. As shown in FIG. 9, the pictogram database 766 stores a search key and a pictogram 910 (image data of the pictogram) associated with the search key as a row. For example, image data of a search key “egg” and “Egg.png” associated with the search key “egg” are stored as rows. Further, for example, a search key “butter” and image data “Butter.png” associated with the search key “butter” are stored as rows.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the main part of the operation of the information processing apparatus 100. As shown in FIG. 10, when a series of operations are started, the data receiving unit 162 receives data in step S10.

  In step S12, which is the next step, the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether the data received in step S10 is image data, and if it is determined that the data received in step S10 is image data. The process proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S10 that the received data is not image data, the received data is regarded as text data, and the process proceeds to step S16.

  In step S14, the data conversion means 164 analyzes the image data received in step S10, and extracts text information from the image.

  In step S16, the decomposing means 166 decomposes the text data received in step S10 and the text data converted in step S14 into words.

  In step S18, the search key search means 168 searches the search key database 764 to search for and extract the search key from the words decomposed in step S16.

  In the next step, step S18, the search key search means 168 searches and extracts the search key from each word decomposed in step S18 with reference to the search key database 764.

  In the next step S20, the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether or not a search key can be further searched from the search key searched in step S18. If the search key can be further searched, the process returns to step S18. . On the other hand, if it is determined that the search key cannot be further searched, the process proceeds to step S22.

  In step S22, the pictogram search unit 170 refers to the pictogram database 766 and extracts the pictogram 910 associated with the search key extracted in step S18.

  In step S24, which is the next step, the display means 172 displays pictogram 910 candidates on the screen 210 so that the pictogram 910 extracted in step S22 can be inserted into the selected template.

  If a plurality of pictograms 910 are extracted as candidates in step S22, and if all the pictogram 910 candidates extracted in step S24 cannot be displayed on the screen 210 at step S24, step In S24, it is desirable to select the pictogram 910 initially displayed on the screen 210 so that the operator can easily select the pictogram 910 to be added to the document.

  When a plurality of pictograms 910 are selected as candidates in step S22, the plurality of pictograms 910 are displayed side by side on the screen 210 in step S24 so that the document creator can easily select the pictograms 910 to be added to the document. Is desirable.

  For example, if the display unit 172 cannot display all of the pictograms 910 on the screen 210 at a time, the candidate of the pictogram 910 that has been displayed on the screen 210 in the past has not been displayed on the screen 210 in the past. It is desirable to display the candidates for the pictogram 910 with higher priority.

  Further, for example, even if the display unit 172 displays the candidates for the pictogram 910 that have been displayed in the past on the screen 210, if the display area for displaying the candidates for the pictogram 910 remains on the screen 210, It is desirable to display on the screen 210 candidates for pictograms 910 that have not been previously displayed on 210. Here, the operation history including which pictogram 910 has been displayed on the screen 210 in the past and how many times the pictogram 910 has been displayed on the screen 210 is stored in the storage device 740 described above.

  Further, for example, it is desirable that the display unit 172 displays the pictogram 910 candidates that have been displayed in the past on the screen 210 side by side from the upper end side or the left end side of the screen 210. By displaying the candidates for the pictogram 910 on the screen 210 in this order, the operator selects the pictogram 910 that has been displayed on the screen 210 in the past and has not been displayed on the screen 210 in the past. A highly likely pictogram 910 can be displayed at a position on the screen 210 that is easy for an operator to select.

  Further, for example, if the display unit 172 displays a candidate for the pictogram 910 that has been displayed in the past on the screen 210, but the display area for displaying the candidate for the pictogram 910 remains on the screen 210, It is desirable that candidates for pictograms 910 that have not been displayed in 210 in the past be displayed on the lower end side or right end side than candidates for pictograms 910 that have been displayed on screen 210 in the past.

  Further, for example, when all of the candidates for the pictogram 910 cannot be displayed on the screen 210 of one information processing apparatus (for example, the information processing apparatus 100A), the display unit 172 displays another information processing apparatus (for example, the information processing apparatus 100B). , A candidate for a pictogram 910 that has been displayed in the past on the screen 210 of the information processing apparatus 100C) has priority over a candidate for a pictogram 910 that has not been displayed in the past on the screen 210 of another information processing apparatus 100. It is desirable to display them automatically. By displaying the candidates for the pictogram 910 on the screen 210 in this order, the candidates may have been displayed on the screen 210 of the other information processing apparatus 100 in the past, and may be displayed on the screen 210 of the other information processing apparatus in the past. The pictogram 910 that is more likely to be selected by the operator than the pictogram 910 that has never been displayed can be displayed at a position on the screen 210 that is easy for the operator to select.

  In addition, for example, the display unit 172 displays a candidate for a pictogram 910 that has been displayed in the past on the screen 210 of another information processing apparatus (for example, the information processing apparatuses 100B and 100C). If the display area for displaying the candidates for the pictogram 910 remains on the screen 210 of one information processing apparatus 100 even if it is displayed on the screen 210 of the information processing apparatus 100A), the screen 210 of another information processing apparatus 100 is displayed. It is desirable to display on the screen 210 candidates for pictograms 910 that have not been displayed in the past.

  In addition, for example, the display unit 172 desirably displays the candidates for the pictogram 910 that have been displayed in the past on the screen 210 of another information processing apparatus side by side from the upper end side or the left end side of the screen 210. By displaying the candidates for the pictogram 910 in this order on the screen 210, the pictogram 910 candidates may have been displayed on the screen 210 of another sentence processing apparatus in the past, and have been displayed on the screen 210 of another information processing apparatus in the past. A pictogram 910 that is more likely to be selected by the operator than a pictogram 910 that does not exist can be displayed at a position on the screen 210 of one information processing apparatus 100 that is easy for the operator to select.

  Further, for example, the display unit 172 displays the screen of the information processing apparatus 100 even if the candidate of the pictogram 910 that has been displayed in the past on the screen 210 of another information processing apparatus is displayed on the screen 210 of the information processing apparatus 100. If a display area for displaying a candidate for the pictogram 910 remains in 210, a candidate for the pictogram 910 that has not been displayed in the past on the screen of another information processing apparatus 100 is displayed on the screen of the other information processing apparatus 100. It is desirable to display on the lower end side or the right end side of the candidates of pictograms 910 that have been displayed in the past.

  In addition, when the pictogram search unit 170 extracts in step S22 and the display unit 172 displays the extracted candidates for the pictogram 910 on the screen 210, the display unit 172 is a pictogram 910 of a plurality of different fields, Only the pictogram 910 of at least one field selected by the operator may be displayed on the screen 210.

  FIG. 11 shows a first example of the operations of the decomposition means 166, the search key search means 168, and the pictogram search means 170. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the text data input as “strawberry tart” is decomposed into a word “strawberry” and a word “tart” by the decomposing means 166.

  Then, the search key search means 168 extracts search keys for “butter”, “powdered sugar”, “egg”, and “weak flour” from the word “tart”. Further, the search key search means 168 further extracts a search key “cream” from the word “butter” as the search key, and further selects a search key “milk” from the search key “cream”. Extract. The search key search means 168 extracts a search key for “wheat” from a search key for “weak flour”.

  Thus, when the operator inputs “strawberry tart”, “strawberry tart” is changed to “butter”, “powdered sugar”, “egg”, “soft flour”, “milk”, “powdered sugar” In order to decompose into “egg” and “wheat”, the input text data is decomposed into words associated with the words of the text data. This allows the operator to recognize that the “strawberry tart” is made from “milk”, “powdered sugar”, “egg”, and “wheat” when entering text, and directly to “milk” and “powdered sugar”. , "Milk", "Powdered sugar", "Eggs", and "Wheat", which are constituents of "Strawberry tart", are extracted as search keys without entering text data such as "egg" and "wheat" can do.

  Then, the pictogram search means 170 extracts the pictogram 910 indicating milk from the search key “milk”, extracts the pictogram 910 of the egg from the search key “egg”, and wheat from the search key “wheat”. The pictogram 910 is extracted.

  Therefore, when the operator inputs text data of “strawberry tart”, the operator recognizes “milk”, “powdered sugar”, “egg”, and “wheat” that are the ingredients that make up “strawberry tart”. In addition, even if the operator does not recognize that each should be represented by a pictogram, the operator simply enters “strawberry tart” and “milk”, “powdered sugar”, “egg”, “wheat” Since the pictogram is extracted, it is possible to recognize that “milk”, “powdered sugar”, “egg”, and “wheat” are objects to be described in the pictogram.

  FIG. 12 shows a second example of the operations of the decomposition unit 166, the search key search unit 168, and the pictogram search unit 170. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the search key search means 168 extracts search keys for “bath”, “towel”, and “shower” from the text data “bath” input as text data. Then, the pictogram search means 170 extracts a pictogram 910 from each search key.

  Thus, when the operator inputs “bath”, “yubune”, “towel”, and “shower” are extracted as search keys as words related to “bath”. This allows the operator to recognize that "towel" and "shower" are related to "bath" when entering text, and without directly entering "towel" and "shower" text data. The words “towel” and “shower” related to “bath” can be extracted as search keys.

  Therefore, when the operator inputs the text data “Bath”, the operator recognizes “Towel” and “Shower” as being related to “Bath”, and each of them is indicated by a pictogram. Even if the operator does not recognize it as a target, the operator simply enters “bath” and the pictograms of “towel” and “shower” are extracted, so “towel” and “shower” are shown as pictograms. It can be recognized that it is a target.
