DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kanji search method and a kanji search apparatus which can search for a kanji to be input using a computer or a word processor without any omission. .
In particular, the present invention relates to a kanji search method and a kanji search device that are convenient for a dictionary editor, a kanji educator, an address book creator, a person who has just started learning kanji, and a foreigner. According to the present invention, a search can be made simple and fast by using a kanji as a visual element with a decomposable meaningless symbol or a minimum unit of one to three strokes composed of radicals. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 13 is a flowchart for searching a kanji using a computer or a word processor in a conventional example. First, the user inputs "number of strokes" of the radical or "reading" of the radical (step 33).
1). For example, it is assumed that a kanji character “sentence” is input as “reading” into a word processor. "Sentence" by the above input
Is displayed on the display (step 332). For example, the user can look at the above-mentioned kanji list on a display (not shown) to check whether or not there is a desired kanji (step 333). The user confirms that there is a desired kanji “sentence” in “2” (step 334). Then, the user selects the kanji displayed in “2” by:
"2" is designated by the keyboard (step 33)
5).

If the user cannot find the desired kanji in the kanji list on the display in step 333, the user selects the next table using a keyboard (not shown) (step 336). For example, a list of kanji characters such as “12 3 4 5 5 mosquito question” is displayed on the display. The user checks whether or not a desired kanji exists in the kanji list on the display (step 337). Thereafter, the user performs the same processing as described above (steps 338 and 339). In addition, if the user does not have the desired kanji on the display, the user can continue until the desired kanji is found.
The same process is repeated to search for all the kanji reading "bun" registered in the word processor (steps 340 to 343).

For example, when the user wants to input the kanji character “doe”, he tries to search from “reading”. in this case,
If the exact "reading" is not known, the user inputs "time", "shigi", "go", "ai", and "au" in a guess manner and searches for the kanji in the same manner as described above. But,
Since the above "reading" is different, correct kanji is not output. During this time, the number of kanji displayed on the display was
It is about 100.

Next, for kanji characters which cannot be retrieved by "reading", the number of strokes of the radical is counted and the dictionary is looked up. In the case of the "go", the "go" section of the dictionary is looked up in six strokes of the "go". However, the kanji cannot be found because the kanji is not in the “go-no-be”. Then, "bird's part" is searched from the radicals of the dictionary. When searching with 17 strokes in total, about 49 in total
There are 0, and it takes time just to search for the kanji “do” from these. After subtracting “birds”, search for “dored” above. As a result of the search, "doe" is found. And "doe"
Is found to be “reading” “dobato” or “ko”, and the user inputs this as “dobato” or “kou”.

[0006]

The kanji list of "reading" of "bun" as in the above example is small, so that the retrieval is easy. However, when there are many kanji lists, the steps in the conventional example need to be repeated many times. If the kanji list reaches several tens, not only may a desired kanji be overlooked during the search, but also a lot of labor is required for the search time. For example, in order to search for a desired kanji from the radical "ki", it is necessary to search from about 370 kanji. Finding a desired character from many kanji in this way is not only extremely labor-intensive but also involves the risk of being overlooked. In addition, the kanji character “doe” cannot be read in many cases, and it is necessary to start searching based on the number of strokes of a radical. Assuming that kanji has been input to a computer or word processor as in the case of the Kanji dictionary, it is unclear whether the search for "go" starts with the radical "go" or the radical "bird".

[0007] It can be understood that the number of strokes of the radical "bird" is 11 if it is a person who has undergone ordinary Japanese kanji education.
However, lower grades or foreigners cannot understand why “birds” are 11 strokes simply by looking at the shape of the characters. Furthermore, in the case of a kanji having many strokes, a complicated kanji composed of many radicals, or a special kanji, the number of strokes may be counted incorrectly as well as being unreadable. In lower grades or foreigners, for example, it is difficult to accurately count the number of strokes of "thread". In addition, even those who use the Kanji dictionary occasionally do not know which radical of the kanji to start the search from, and often useless time.
In particular, a creator of an address book or the like has a problem that the search time for kanji is longer than the input time for inputting a person name or a place name.

An object of the present invention is to provide a kanji search method and a kanji search apparatus which have no omission in search and have a short search time. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a kanji search method and a kanji search device that can easily search for kanji even in lower grades who cannot read a kanji dictionary or foreigners who do not have Japanese kanji education.

[0011]

The kanji search device of the present invention is characterized in that a code for identifying the position of the focused visual element is added to the code assigned to the visual element.

[0013] The kanji search apparatus of the present invention is characterized in that a code is attached to each kanji in the searched kanji display section and an associative code shorter than the code is added.

[0014]

[Work] The applicant has determined that a unit that can visually separate and visually decompose kanji is a meaningless symbol that can be decomposed or a visual element of one to three strokes consisting of radicals. It focuses on the unit. Further, one kanji is provided with a search method for a number substantially equal to the number of decomposed visual elements.

A kanji is composed of a symbol part which does not make sense as a kanji, a so-called radical used in a kanji dictionary, and a minimum unit element which can be decomposed as a meaningful kanji when the whole is visually grasped. Have been. Of these, the present applicant has paid attention to the fact that the minimum unit of a kanji is a meaningless symbol that can be decomposed or a visual element of one to three strokes composed of radicals. In this specification, each element decomposed in this way is referred to as a visual element. Each visual element obtained by decomposing a kanji is given a code different from a code determined by JIS, for example. Each kanji or a part of the kanji is stored in association with each visually decomposed visual element. That is, one kanji is given a number of codes substantially equal to the number of visual elements to be decomposed. First, attention is paid to the visual element of the minimum unit in the desired kanji. On the basis of the visual element of the minimum unit, the display screen has a first kanji list including kanji and codes attached to the kanji that have low similarity and are not integrated into other display screens, and the one visual element And a second kanji list including kanji having many similarities and codes assigned to the kanji. Next, a visual element close to a desired kanji is selected from the first and second kanji lists displayed on the display screen. Based on the selected kanji, the first kanji list of kanji having little similarity and not being integrated on another display screen and the code assigned to the kanji, and the one visual element has many similarities A kanji and a second kanji list including the code assigned to the kanji are displayed, and this is repeated until a desired kanji is selected. Therefore, regardless of which part of the kanji is focused on, the kanji is searched based on the visual element, so that the search is fast and there is no omission. Since the present invention performs a search based on the visual element of the minimum unit, even those who do not know how to count radicals and strokes,
You can search for kanji quickly. According to the present invention, a search is started from a minimum unit of visual element even for a special kanji, so that a desired kanji can be searched without wondering which of the visual elements to pay attention to. According to the present invention, a person who is familiar with kanji can search for a desired kanji more quickly by starting a search from a visual element having a large number of strokes.

Although one kanji or a part constituting the kanji is predetermined by a JIS code, another code is added to a visual element obtained by further decomposing the kanji. The minimum unit of the kanji is a meaningless symbol that can be decomposed, or one to three strokes of visual elements composed of radicals. The meaningless visual element code and the JIS code are paired and stored in the first storage means, for example, in the minimum unit that can be decomposed. In addition, a code is attached to the visual element of the minimum unit which can be decomposed as a meaningful kanji not including the radical and the radical as described above, and is paired with the JIS code of the kanji in the second storage means. Alternatively, it is stored in the third storage means. That is, the kanji is given a code that is substantially equal to the number of visual elements to be decomposed and is stored by the storage means together with the JIS code. Therefore, regardless of which visual element of the kanji is focused, the user can always search for the desired kanji directly or through a part constituting the kanji.

[0017]

Similar Chinese characters differ in the position of the Chinese character as a focused visual element. Therefore, a code is attached to a position where a kanji as a visual element is arranged by paying attention. For example, a kanji is displayed according to whether a focused visual element is right-handed, left-handed, upper or lower-cased, or the like. With such a display, the search for kanji is much easier and faster.

When the searched kanji list is displayed on the display, the user can select the J character added to the desired kanji.
By inputting the IS code, a kanji is input at a desired position. However, the JIS code attached to Kanji is
It is 4 digits and it is hard to remember this. Therefore, attaching a two-digit association code to a kanji together with a JIS code makes it easier for the user to memorize frequently-appearing kanji, or shortens the input time when inputting.

[0020]

[Embodiment] An outline of an embodiment of the present invention for searching for kanji will be described with reference to a flowchart, and then a specific kanji index will be described. FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining an embodiment of the present invention for searching for kanji. First, in a computer or a word processor, if a kanji to be inputted is unknown, a kanji search designation button (not shown) for starting a kanji search is pressed (step 11). A list of visual elements obtained by visually dividing Chinese characters is displayed on the display screen of a display (not shown) (step 12).

The user looks at the display on the display, visually recognizes the kanji to be searched, and determines the unit to be decomposed. In this case, there are various visual elements depending on the kanji. For example, if the kanji is “Chapter”, it can be recognized as “ヽ” at the top of the kanji, “Kai” at the top of the stand, “Hachi” at the middle position of the stand, and characters. You can search for the kanji "chapter" regardless of "ten", "stand", "sound", or "early". For example, the search speed differs depending on which part of the kanji the user visually focuses on. Depending on the user,
In some cases, starting with a single stroke such as "ヽ", the search speed is fastest for those who are accustomed to entering two or four strokes.

The user checks whether there is a desired visual element from the first visual element list (step 13).
If there is no visual element focused on the first display screen, the user selects the next page (step 14). Then, the user checks whether there is a visual element of interest in the same manner as described above (step 15). If there is no visual element of interest, the user returns to step 14, selects the next page, and repeats the same operation. However, Kanji can be completely covered by one to three strokes of visual elements.

If a visual element of interest is found in step 13 or step 15, the user selects a number assigned to the visual element (step 1).
6). According to the selection of the user's number, a group of kanji composed of the selected visual element is displayed on the display (step 17). The group of similar kanji is provided in the form of a guide as a group that is more convenient for searching if a large number of visually similar kanjis among the kanji constituted by the visual elements are combined into a list.
Therefore, by selecting the number of the visual element displayed in the guide, a new kanji list is displayed on the display. The user checks whether there is a kanji being searched or a radical constituting a part of the kanji from the kanji list (step 18).

The user selects a kanji being searched or a number assigned to a radical constituting a part of the kanji from the kanji list (step 19). When the user selects the number, a display example list of the corresponding kanji and the kanji visually similar to the kanji is displayed on the display (step 20). In the list of display examples of kanji,
A JIS code or association code corresponding to the kanji is attached. The user hits the JIS code or the associative code attached to the searched kanji with the keyboard (step 21). Thereafter, the user presses the kanji conversion key, whereby the searched kanji is displayed at a predetermined position (step 22). In step 18,
If there is no searched kanji in the kanji group and there is a searched kanji or radical in the guide, the user selects that number (step 23). Then, the process proceeds to step 20, and the search for the kanji is performed in the same manner as described above.

Next, a specific operation method of the kanji search will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a display screen in which visual elements of one stroke and two strokes are shown on a display. FIG.
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a display screen in which three visual elements are shown on a display. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a display screen on which a kanji and a guide composed of a visual element “1” are shown on a display. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a display screen in which kanji and a guide composed of a visual element "@" are shown on a display. FIG.
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a display screen on which a kanji and a guide composed of a visual element “fiber” are shown on a display. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a display screen on which a kanji and a guide composed of a visual element “eight” are shown on a display. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a display screen in which kanji and a guide composed of a visual element “mouth” are shown on a display. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a display example list of kanji characters “chapter” when the search is started from “day”. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a display example list of kanji characters “chapter” when a search is started from “ritsu”. Fig. 11 shows the "chapter" when the search starts from "sound"
It is a figure for demonstrating the display example list | wrist of the Chinese character called.
FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a display example list of kanji characters “chapter” when the search is started from “ten”.

For example, suppose that a kanji with an unknown “reading” appears during document creation. A user who is creating a document specifies search for kanji using a keyboard (not shown).
When the search designation keyboard is pressed, a symbol having no meaning in kanji, a radical, and at least a meaningful kanji not included in these characters are displayed on the display in one stroke and two strokes shown in FIG. Is displayed. When the next page is designated, as shown in FIG. 3, the same three strokes are used to display symbols having no meaning in kanji, radicals, and at least meaningful kanji not included in these. Thereafter, each time the next page is selected, a kanji with a large number of strokes is displayed. Thus, the user can start the search based on the number of strokes.

For example, a case where the kanji to be searched is "chapter" will be described. Break chapters into visually decomposable elements. In this specification, the minimum unit that can visually decompose a kanji is simply referred to as a “visual element”. For example,
"Chapter" consists of "ヽ", "one", "motor", "eight", "ten",
It can be decomposed into visual elements of "mouth", "standing", "sound", and "early". It is assumed that a user who does not understand kanji visually focuses on "one". The user inputs the number “000” attached to “1” from the display screen of FIG. 2 displayed by the kanji search designation.

A display screen designated by “000” is displayed in FIG. FIG. 4 shows a kanji list 41 and a guide 42 each of which has "1" as a visual element. The kanjis displayed in the kanji list 41 have little similarity to each kanji and are not integrated as other display screens despite being composed of the visual element "1". The guide 42 displays a group of visual elements “one” that can be grouped together. The user can see in FIG. 4 that the visual element “day” of the Chinese character “chapter” is displayed on the guide 42. Therefore, the user inputs the number “093” attached to “day” using the keyboard.

By inputting the numbers, a kanji display section 91 shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the display. The code 92 shown in FIG. 9 is used when stored in a memory without being displayed on the display. The kanji display section 91 includes a kanji 93, a code 94 of a visual element, a code 95 indicating the position and space of the kanji from the left side.
(Ad is a position, s is a space, r is a right side, l is a left side), a kanji stroke number 96, a JIS code 97, and an easy-to-remember two-digit associative code 98 instead of the JIS code 98. The code 92 is a code 99 that is not displayed on the display but is stored in the memory. The user searches for a desired kanji from the kanji display section 91 shown in FIG. Since there is a “chapter” to be searched, the user can use the JIS code “3e4
Enter "f" using the keyboard or enter the associated code "slash". With this input, the kanji “chapter” is input at a predetermined position. As described above, even if the "reading" or the number of strokes of the kanji is not known, the kanji is searched by the visual element.

Next, the case where "@" is captured as a visual element in the display screen shown in FIG. 2 displayed by the kanji search specification will be described. The user inputs the number “001” attached to “ヽ”. By inputting the number “001”, the display screen shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display. The display screen shown in FIG. 5 includes a kanji list 51 and a guide 52. The kanji or radicals of the kanji list 51 and the guide 52 are numbered. The user searches the kanji list 51 and the guide 52 for the kanji or radical to be searched. Since the kanji “chapter” is being searched, the user finds “ritsu” in the guide 52. And the user
The number “157” attached to “stand” is input using the keyboard.

By inputting the above numbers, the same kanji display unit 101 as in FIG. 10 is displayed on the display unit on the display. The code 102 shown in FIG.
This is used when storing in a memory without being displayed on the display. The kanji display unit 101 displays kanji, visual element codes, codes indicating kanji positions and spaces from the left side (h is added when the “standing” position is at the top, s is a space, and s is located on the right side). The case r is denoted by l when it is located on the left side), the number of strokes of the kanji, the JIS code, and an easy-to-remember two-digit associative code replacing the JIS code. The user searches for a kanji in the kanji display unit 101 shown in FIG. Since there is a kanji “chapter” to be searched, the user inputs the JIS code “3e4f” using a keyboard or the associative code “sula”. With this input, the kanji “chapter” is input at a predetermined position.

Next, a case will be described in which, on the display screen shown in FIG. 2 displayed according to the kanji search designation, "" is captured as a visual element. The user inputs the number “006” attached to the “fabric”. By inputting the number “006”, the display screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display. The display screen shown in FIG. 6 includes a kanji list 61 and a guide 62. The kanji or radicals of the kanji list 61 and the guide 62 are numbered. The user searches the kanji list 61 and the guide 62 for the kanji or radical to be searched. Since the kanji “chapter” has been searched, the user finds “stand” and “sound” in the guide 62. Then, the user inputs, for example, the numeral “237” attached to “sound” using the keyboard.

By inputting the numbers, a kanji display section 111 shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the display. At this time, the code 112 other than the kanji display unit 111 is not displayed on the display. The kanji display unit 111
Is "01" for the kanji with "10" under "sound"
But the kanji with "8" under "sound" is "02"
But the kanji with "heart" under "sound" is "03"
However, the kanji in the middle of the "sound" are each appended with "04". In addition, "r" and "l" representing right and left are the same. The user searches for a kanji in the kanji display unit 111 shown in FIG. Since there is a kanji “chapter” to be searched, the user can use the JIS code “3e4
Enter "f" using the keyboard or enter the associated code "slash". With this input, the kanji “chapter” is input at a predetermined position.

On the display screen shown in FIG. 2 displayed by the kanji search designation, the user pays attention to the two strokes "8" and inputs the number "011" attached thereto. The displayed kanji list 71 and guide 72 are displayed on the display. Then, the user inputs the number “157” to select “stand”, and inputs the number “237” to select “sound”. By inputting these numbers, the user can make the aforementioned FIG. 10 or FIG.
Since the kanji display sections 101 and 111 shown in FIG. 1 are displayed on the display, a "chapter" is searched from these kanji display sections and the code or the associative code is inputted. As a result, the desired kanji is input at a predetermined position.

Further, on the display screen of FIG. 3 displayed by the kanji search designation, the user pays attention to the three mouths “mouth” and inputs the number “040” attached thereto.
A kanji list 81 and a guide 82 shown in FIG. 8 are displayed on the display. Then, if the user selects “day”, the user inputs the number “093”. By inputting this number, the user can display the above-described FIG. 9 on the display.
Search for and enter that code or associative code.
As a result, the desired kanji is input at a predetermined position.

On the display screen shown in FIG. 2 displayed by the kanji search designation, the user pays attention to the two strokes "ten" and inputs the number "024" attached thereto.
The kanji display section 121 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the display. Then, the user searches for “chapter” from the kanji display unit 121 and inputs the code or the associative code. As a result, the desired kanji is input at a predetermined position. As can be seen from the above description, in this embodiment, the kanji to be searched can always reach the desired kanji regardless of which part of the visual element is focused.

Although the present embodiment has been described in detail, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. Various design changes can be made without departing from the present invention described in the appended claims. For example, well-known or publicly-known storage means, search means, display means, and the like can be used.

[0038]

According to the present invention, a kanji character is obtained by decomposing one to three strokes of visual elements consisting of meaningless symbols or radicals that can be decomposed into minimum units, As the visual elements, there is a correspondence between the codes attached to them and the kanji or a part of the JIS code that constitutes the kanji. Alternatively, the search can be performed through a part constituting the kanji. According to the present invention, a decomposable meaningless symbol constituting one kanji or a visual element of one to three strokes composed of radicals is used as a minimum unit, so that a desired kanji can be easily and quickly obtained. Can be selected. According to the present invention, a desired kanji is always obtained regardless of which visual element is searched without using at least one or three strokes of visual elements consisting of decomposable meaningless symbols or radicals as a minimum unit. Since the search can be performed directly or via a part constituting the kanji, even a person who has not received kanji education or a person who searches for a special character can perform a quick search without any omission of search.
According to the present invention, a first kanji list including kanji having a low similarity and not being integrated on another display screen and a code attached to the kanji, and a kanji having many similarities to the one visual element and the kanji The search speed can be further improved by providing a second kanji list consisting of the codes attached to the characters, adding a symbol that identifies the position of the visual element, or adding an associative code when inputting the kanji. Has been improved.
