Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit the operation of a conversion instructing means such as a KANA (Japanese syllabary)/KANJI (Chinese character) conversion instructing key and to conveniently prepare a document such as a poem by automatically executing a KANA/KANJI conversion processing when line feeding or page feeding is instructed during a reading input. CONSTITUTION:A main processor 1 sends reading data fetched from a key input device 12 to a line feeding and page feeding identifying device 14. The device 14 identifies whether the reading data are the line feeding, the page feeding or another matter and the result of the identification is informed of the device 11. When it is informed by the device 14 that the reading data are the line feeding, the page feeding or the other matter, the device 11 executes the input processing of the next reading data by returning to an initial operation. When it is informed that the reading data are the line feeding or page feeding, the activation of the KANA/KANJI conversion is loaded to a KANA/ KANJI converter 15. Even when the converting/next candidate instructing key of the device 12 is operated during the reading input, the device 11 loads the activation of the KANA/KANJI conversion to the device 15.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a document creation device that applies a sequential kana-kanji conversion method, and in particular, converts kana-kanji to kana-kanji when inputting control characters indicating line breaks or page breaks. This relates to the Kana-Kanji conversion control method by which the conversion process is activated.

(Prior art) In conventional document creation devices that apply the sequential kana-kanji conversion method, after inputting a series of reading data, a predetermined kana-kanji conversion instruction key is operated to start the kana-kanji conversion process, and the result of the conversion (the resulting The homonym or homonym string with the highest priority was displayed on the screen with a display attribute indicating the homonym selection status to facilitate the user's selection operation. Therefore, when creating a character string with line breaks or page breaks, it is necessary to operate the kana-kanji conversion instruction key and the line feed or page break key after inputting the reading of the target string. This was troublesome when creating documents with frequent line breaks and page breaks, such as .

(Problem to be solved by the invention) As mentioned above, conventionally, when attempting to perform a line break or page break in a character string, the kana-kanji conversion instruction key was operated to first perform the kana-kanji conversion process and then perform the homophone selection process. After the (notation) is finalized, line feed and page break keys must be operated to perform line feed and page break processing, which is a problem in that the operations are complicated.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a kanji conversion control system that allows the creation of documents with line breaks and page breaks by simple key operations.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention provides a document creation device using a sequential kana-kanji conversion method, in which the reading data newly stored in the reading storage means is a predetermined control character indicating a line break or a page break. A discriminating means is provided for discriminating whether or not the predetermined control character exists, and when the discriminating means discriminates that the predetermined control character has been input, and when the kana-kanji conversion instruction means instructs kana-kanji conversion, the reading is stored in the reading storage means. The present invention is characterized in that kana-kanji conversion processing is performed on reading data, and characters or character strings representing the conversion results are displayed with a display attribute indicating a homophone selection state.

(Operation) According to the above configuration, when a line break or a page break is instructed, the kana-kanji conversion process is automatically performed, so that the operation of conversion instruction means such as the kana-kanji conversion instruction key can be omitted.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a document creation device using a sequential kana-kanji conversion method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
3 is a flowchart showing the procedure of kana-ji conversion processing in the document creation device shown in the figure.

In FIG. 1, 11 is a main processing unit that controls the entire apparatus, and 12 is a key input device. In addition to various character keys, line feed keys, and page break keys, this key input device 12 includes a conversion/next candidate key for instructing kana-kanji conversion, homonym (candidate) switching instructions, and homophone selection. Various function keys such as selection/execution keys (none of which are shown) are provided for providing instructions and the like. The main processing device 11 is
Every time one character of reading data is input from the key input device I2 by operating various character keys, line feed keys, page feed keys, etc. of the key input device 12, the reading data is captured (step Sl) and used as an input buffer. Reading storage device 13
(Step S2). The main processing unit 11 also sends read data taken in from the key input device 12 to the line break/page break identification device 14. When the line feed/page break identification device 14 receives the reading data sent from the main processing device 11, it identifies whether the reading data is a line feed or page feed (a predetermined control character indicating the same) or something else. and notifies the main processing unit 11 of the results.

When the main processing unit 11 is notified by the line break/page break identification device 14 that the read data is other than a line break or page break, the main processing unit 11 returns to step S1 and inputs the next read data, and the read data is When it is notified that it is a line break or a page break, the kana-kanji conversion device 15 is activated to convert the kana-kanji. Note that the main processing unit 11 also activates the kana-kanji conversion to the kana-kanji conversion device 15 when the conversion/next candidate instruction key of the key input device [2 is operated during reading input.

When the kana-kanji conversion device 15 is activated by the main processing device 11, it sequentially takes out the reading data stored in the reading storage device 13, divides them into phrases, and performs the well-known kana-kanji conversion process on a phrase-by-phrase basis (step S4). , all the homophone information that is the result of the conversion process is sent to the homophone selection device 1.
Send to 6. The homophone selection device 16 extracts the homophone with the highest priority (here, including words accompanied by particles, etc.) from the homophone information from the kana-kanji conversion device 15 for each clause. It is sent to the selected intermediate phonetic word display control device 17 with a display attribute indicating that it is in a selected state. The selected intermediate homonym display control device 17 displays the homonym for each clause from the homonym selection device 16 on a display (not shown) using the specified display attribute (step S6).
. Here, the phrases that are currently subject to the selection process are underlined with a thick line, and the phrases that require the selection process are displayed with a thin l line. Furthermore, a symbol indicating a line break or page break is displayed at the end of the final clause. By displaying this line break or page break symbol, the user can visually recognize that the device has entered the homophone selection mode in response to the line feed or page break key operation.

When the user recognizes that the homonym selection mode has been entered, the user operates the key input device 12 to instruct the user to switch the display to the next candidate if the homonym has not been converted to the desired notation, or to display the desired notation. If the word has been converted into a homophone, instructions for selection processing, etc. are given.

When the main processing device 11 receives a next candidate switching instruction or a selection processing instruction from the key input device 12 (step S7), the main processing device 11 transmits the instruction to the homophone selection device 16. As a result, the homophone selection device 1B performs the instructed process (step S8). This processing result (conversion selection result) is notified to the selected intermediate phonetic allonym display control device 17, and the next candidate is displayed and the selection confirmation result is displayed (here, the underline is deleted). Further, the processing result of the same-level different meaning word selection device 16 is also notified to the main processing device 11. When the main processing device 11 detects that all the phrases being displayed have been determined by the notification from the homophone selection device 16 (step S5), the main processing device 11 sends the determined results (conversion/selection results) to the document editing device 18. send.

The document editing device 18 writes the conversion/selection results from the main processing device 11 into a corresponding area of a document storage device (not shown) (step S9).

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, when a line break or page break is specified during reading input, the kana-kanji conversion process is automatically performed, so that the conversion instruction means such as the kana-kanji conversion instruction key is used. Operation can be omitted.

Therefore, it is extremely convenient for creating documents such as poems that require frequent line breaks and page breaks, and in which the end of each line always serves as a break between phrases.
