Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention searches for a desired word from a so-called dictionary in which the character is registered when inputting and editing a character, for example, in a word processor. It relates to an automatic search method for words to be used.

2. Description of the Related Art When a computer or a word processor that inputs and edits characters inputs "katakana" and "hiragana" to perform kana-kanji conversion, an operator, for example, wants to display "go", using a keyboard. Enter "Yuku" in katakana. When "Yuku" is input, a kanji corresponding to [Yuku] is displayed at the lower end of the CRT, and the operator selects a desired "go" from the displayed kanji. After the selection, the desired "go" is displayed in the text at the position indicated by the cursor. In the above Kana-Kanji conversion,
Since many Chinese characters are displayed on the CRT for the homonym of "Yuku", the operator must select a desired character from the displayed Chinese characters. When selecting a desired kanji from the displayed kanji, it depends on the operator's vocabulary, and for example, it is not easy to select, for example, a humble word that is not often used.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, conventionally, for example, when a kanji word of “go” is selected from kanji converted into kana kanji characters, if the operator does not know the kanji word of “go”, It is necessary to check and select a desired kanji, "I ask", using a dictionary or the like, which may cause the operator to feel troublesome in operation, and measures to cope with the need have been eagerly awaited.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily search for a desired word without relying on the vocabulary of the operator, etc., so that the operator does not feel troublesome in operation. Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic word search method that improves convenience.

[Constitution of the Invention] (Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a synonym group number classified for each synonym of a word and a synonym classified to the synonym group number. A word storage unit that classifies and stores words according to a category number set according to the purpose of use, and when a desired word is input, retrieves and stores the category number of the desired word from the word storage unit. A category number search storage unit; a synonym group number search storage unit that searches and stores a synonym group number of the desired word from the word storage unit; and an agreement stored in the synonym group number search storage unit. A word for extracting a desired word stored in the word storage unit from a word group number and a category number stored in the category number search storage unit And extraction means, and summarized in that with a.

(Operation) In the automatic word search method having the above-described configuration, a synonym group number classified for each synonym of the word and a category number set according to the purpose of use of the synonym classified into the synonym group number are used. When a desired word is input, a category number of the desired word is retrieved from the word storage unit and stored.

Further, the synonym group number of the desired word is retrieved from the word storage unit and stored.

Since the desired words stored in the word storage section are extracted from the stored synonym group numbers and category numbers, the desired words can be easily searched without depending on the vocabulary of the operator.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment according to an automatic word search system of the present invention.

The automatic word search method has a dictionary unit 1, an input unit 3, and an input word storage unit 5.

The dictionary unit 1 (word storage unit) is a synonym group number (vertical direction in the figure) that is a number indicating a classification of each word for each synonym.
Are classified from “1” to “n”. Further, the dictionary unit 1 classifies the category numbers (in the horizontal direction in the drawing) set according to the purpose of use of the synonyms classified into the synonym group numbers into three types, namely, for infants, for business, and for humble languages. , Various words are registered. Specifically, in the synonym group numbers, the category number 1 for infants is "go", the category 2 office work is "go", and the category number 3 humble language is "go". In the synonym group number, the category number 2 for infants is "Kuru", the category number 2 for business use is "Kuru", and the category number 3 for humble words is "Kuru come". Hereinafter, up to the synonym group number n, classifications into categories for infants, clerical use, and humble words are registered.

The input unit 3 is, for example, a keyboard, and a desired character is input by “hiragana” or “katakana” during kana-kanji conversion.

When a desired character is input from the input unit 3, the input word storage unit 5 stores a four-digit character code indicating the desired character.

In addition, the automatic word search method includes a search unit 7, a selector 9, a category number register 11, and a synonym group number register 1.
With 3.

The search unit 7 searches the dictionary unit 1 for a desired character category number and a synonym group number indicated by the character code stored in the input storage unit 5, and stores the searched category number in a category number register 11 described later. Then, the synonym group number is stored in the synonym group number register 13 described later.

The selector 9 is switched by the search unit 7 to the category number register 11 or the synonym group number register 13.

The category number register 11 is a register for storing a category number by the search unit 7, and the synonym group number register 13 is a register for storing a synonym group number.

Further, the automatic word search method includes an extraction unit 15, a determined word register 17, and a display 19.

The extraction unit 15 extracts words corresponding to the category number stored in the category number register 11 and the agreement group number stored in the synonym group number register 13 from the dictionary unit 1.

The decision word register 17 is a register that stores the words extracted by the extraction unit 15, and the display 19 displays the words stored in the decision word register 17.

 Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

First, after activation of the system, the operator inputs a desired character, for example, the kanji word of "Iku" in Roman characters from the input unit 3. The input “Ukagau”
The category number “3” of “Ukagau” stored in the input word storage unit 5 and searched by the search unit 7 is searched. The search unit 7 stores the selector 9 in the category number register
Switch to the direction of 11 and search for the category number "3"
Is stored. After the category number “3” is stored, for example, “kull” is input from the input unit 3 by the operator, the search unit 7 searches the dictionary unit 1 for the synonym group number “2” and searches for the synonym group number. "2" is stored in the synonym group number register 13. When the synonym group number register 13 stores the synonym group number [2] stored in the synonym group number register 13 with the category number “3” stored in the category number register 11, The word “come” is extracted from the dictionary unit 1. When “coming” is extracted, the extracting unit 15 stores “coming” in the decision word register 17. The "come home" stored in the decision word register 17 is displayed on the display 19.

Thereafter, when a Roman character is input by the operator, the humble word meaning the kana is extracted from the dictionary unit 1 and displayed on the display 19.

As a result, even an operator who is not very familiar with the humble word can easily create a sentence using the humble word.

In the present embodiment, a system that responds to the needs of the user can be realized by classifying the categories of the dictionary unit 1 in response to various usage purposes, or by providing a plurality of categories.

Although the present embodiment deals with Japanese, for example,
It can be applied to systems such as English and German.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, words are classified into synonym group numbers and category numbers and searched, so that desired words can be easily obtained without depending on the vocabulary of the operator. It is possible to improve the convenience by making the search possible and not causing the operator to feel troublesome in the operation.
