Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a character input control system, and particularly when using a keyboard capable of inputting a plurality of types of characters with one key, such as a keyboard based on an information processing system keyboard arrangement of JIS standard. In addition, the present invention relates to a character input control method that enables efficient input.

2. Description of the Related Art When a keyboard based on a JIS standard information processing keyboard arrangement (see FIG. 4) is used as an input device to a processor having a kana-kanji conversion function, one key is used to input 4 by operating the input mode. Taking the B09 key as an example, up to 4 types of characters / symbols up to the type, that is, "." In alphanumeric mode, ">" in alphanumeric mode, "ru" in kana mode, and "." In kana symbol mode. You can enter types of characters and symbols.

If you want to input the kana symbol mode "." Instead of the alphanumeric mode "." Of the B09 key, assuming that you are currently inputting in alphanumeric mode using this keyboard, In the conventional character input method as described above,
Change the input mode from alphanumeric mode to kana symbol mode,
It is necessary to enter the Kana symbol mode “.” Of the B09 key above and then change the input mode from Kana symbol mode to alphanumeric mode, which is very troublesome and the input speed Was also the cause of lowering.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional character input control system, and the operator is not conscious of the input mode. It is to provide a character input control method that enables input of characters.

Structure The above object of the present invention is a character processing device using a keyboard capable of inputting a plurality of types of characters by a plurality of different input modes of one key, and after the key input, the input characters are changed to characters of different input modes. A means for storing the correction contents when the correction is made is provided, and thereafter, the key input character before the correction is corrected and input based on the contents of the storage means until the contents of the storage means are corrected again. It is achieved by a character input control method characterized by.

In the present invention, when the B09 key is taken as an example,
At the same time, the four types of characters ".", ">", "Ru", and "." Are converted, and in the state where "learning" described later is not performed, the B09 key is pressed in the alphanumeric mode as in the past. Then, "." Is treated as an input character. After that, you can “learn” the entered “.” To the Kana symbol mode “.” Of the B09 key to “learn” this modification, and then enter the B09 key in the alphanumeric mode for the B09 key input. It is judged that the kana symbol mode “.” Of the key has been input, and the processing is advanced.

The situation of the above-mentioned processing is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. FIG. 5 shows the correspondence between the input character and the processed character when the B09 key is pressed in the unlearned state. After that, “.” Is corrected to “.” By the correction operation. FIG. 3 shows the correspondence between the input character and the processed character when the B09 key is pressed later, that is, in the learned state.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in more detail based on examples.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a character input device which is an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an input device having a keyboard for inputting characters, for inputting characters and symbols, and 2 denotes an input control circuit for deciding which process is to be performed next based on the input from the input device 1. Reference numeral 3 denotes a character candidate creation control circuit for receiving a character code and performing control for displaying the character codes of all input modes corresponding to the character code as candidates.
Reference numeral 4 is a character code table search circuit for searching a character code table storage unit 11 to be described later in order to obtain characters in all input modes for the character code, and 5 learns and registers one selected from character candidates. A character candidate selection control circuit for performing control for learning, 6 is a learning data registration / retrieval circuit for performing registration / retrieval with respect to a learning data storage unit 12 described later, and 7 is learned by collating input characters with learning data. If so, a character conversion circuit for converting the input character into a learned character, 8 is a kana-kanji conversion editing processing circuit for converting an input kana character string into a kanji mixed sentence, and performing processing such as editing, 9 Is a display data creation circuit that creates and outputs data (character patterns, etc.) to be displayed on the display device 11, 11 is a character code for all input modes corresponding to one key, for all keys Character storage unit being paid, 12 the learning data storage unit in which data learned are stored, respectively.

FIGS. 1A and 1B are process flowcharts showing the operation of the character input device of this embodiment. In FIG. 1 (a), if the key input from the input device 1 by the operator is a character code (steps 21 and 24), learning data registration /
The search circuit 6 determines whether or not the input character code has already been learned (steps 32 and 33).

If the input character code is learned, it is the learned character code (step 36). If not, the input character code is input by the character conversion circuit 7 and the kana-kanji conversion editing processing circuit 8, respectively. Processing is performed (step 34), and the result is displayed on the display device 10 via the display data creation circuit 9 (step 35).

When the content of the key input (step 21) is "correction" (step 23), the character code table search circuit 4 searches the character code table storage unit 11 with the character code before correction (step 25). Character codes of all input modes corresponding to the character code, in the above example, four kinds of character codes of ".", ">", "Ru" and "." For the B09 key are character candidates. The creation control circuit 3 displays the data on the display device 10 via the display data creation circuit 9 (step
26, 27).

Next, wait for the selection of which character code to correct,
If there is a selection input (steps 21 and 22), the character candidate selection control circuit 5 and the learning data registration / retrieval circuit 6 learn the character code before correction as the selected character code,
The learning data is updated (step 28), the candidate display is cleared (step 29), and the kana-kanji conversion editing processing circuit 8 re-edits the corrected character code as an input to perform character input processing (step 30, 31).

If the input in step 21 is other than the above, the process proceeds to other processes.

According to the above embodiment, there is an effect that the operability at the time of input is significantly improved.

Needless to say, the above-mentioned embodiment is shown as an example, and the present invention should not be limited to this.

Effects As described above, according to the present invention, in a character processing device using a keyboard capable of inputting a plurality of types of characters by a plurality of different input modes of one key, the input characters differ after the key input. A means for storing the contents of the correction when the input mode character is corrected is provided, and thereafter, the key input character before correction is corrected based on the content of the storage means until the content of the storage means is re-corrected. Since the input is performed as described above, the operator can realize a character input control method that allows all characters to be input without being aware of the input mode.
