Abstract

PURPOSE:To quickly and easily correct the paragraphs by designating a desired character string of a paragraph to be corrected among those character strings including KANA (Japanese syllabary) and KANJI (Chinese character) mixed together which are divided into the character strings for each paragraph and therefore reconverting the designated character string into a desired corresponding homonym. CONSTITUTION:A character string is sent to an input control part 2 every character from an input device 1. If this character string is identical with a conversion instruction code, the character string to be converted is read out of a character string store part 3 and sent to a conversion control part 6 together with a conversion instruction. If the character string is coincident with a reconversion instruction code, a reconversion instruction is sent to the part 6. The part 6 sends the received character string to a conversion processing part 7. Then a syntax analyzing part 7A divides the character string into paragraphs to store this paragraph information on a paragraph information store part 8 and also to send it to a paragraph conversion part 7B. The part 7B performs the KANA/KANJI conversion for each paragraph and sends this conversion and the paragraph dividing information to the part 6. The part 6 sends these received result and information to a display control part 4 to display a KANA-KANJI character string on a display device 5. Then the desired one of these character strings is designated with a key and then converted into a corresponding homonym.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device, and more particularly to a document processing device that performs homophone processing for homophones corresponding to a character string to be modified.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when performing kana-kanji conversion, there are two types of document processing devices: those that convert phrases in units of phrases (so-called phrase conversion), and those that convert multiple phrases at once (so-called connected phrases conversion). In recent years, continuous phrase conversion has become mainstream, and corrections to kana-kanji mixed character strings that have been converted all at once through continuous phrase conversion are generally performed on a phrase-by-clause basis. , there are two methods shown below.

One method is to directly specify the phrase to be corrected by operating a pointing device such as a mouse.

Another method is to use a keyboard with various keys that move in conjunction with the movement of the cursor.
There is a system in which a desired phrase to be corrected is specified by moving the specifying means (selection) indicating the phrase to be corrected (11th place) forward or backward for each character string in units of -phrases.

Indication means (selection) include black and white inversion, underlining, coloring, etc.

After specifying the phrase to be corrected using one of the two methods described above, press the conversion key to issue a re-conversion command, and select the desired homophone from among the resulting homophones. By confirming the phrase, it is possible to convert it into a phrase with the desired notation.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the conventional document processing device described above, when correcting clauses in a kana-kanji character string that has been collectively converted by continuous clause conversion, if a pointing device is not used, that is, by moving the clarifying means (selection), the desired clause to be corrected is corrected. When specifying a clause, it is not possible to directly specify the desired clause to be corrected. Therefore, for example, if the selection indicates the last clause of a string containing kana-kanji, then the first clause of the string is If you specify
Select one clause from the last clause to the first clause in the string! You must specify the desired clause to be corrected by moving each character string in the 11th position, and the desired correction 1F
This method has the disadvantage that it takes time to specify the target clause, and therefore it takes a lot of time to correct the clause, and therefore it takes a lot of time to create the desired document.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, and even when not using a pointing device, it is possible to easily perform clause correction of character strings converted to kana-kanji, and it also improves document processing efficiency such as document creation and editing. An object of the present invention is to provide a document processing device that can be improved.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a document processing device having a display means for displaying a character string containing kana and kanji that has been converted into kana and kanji, in which the character string containing kana and kanji is divided into phrase units and displayed on the display means, and for each phrase unit. The apparatus includes a conversion means for reconverting a character string of a phrase to be corrected specified from among the divided character strings into a homophone corresponding to the character string.

[Effect]

According to the document processing device of the present invention, from among the Kana-Kanji mixed character strings that have been converted into Kana-Kanji and divided into character strings for each phrase, for example, by pressing the corresponding key or number key, the desired phrase to be corrected can be selected. By specifying a character string, the character string can be reconverted into the corresponding desired homophone.

Therefore, according to the present invention, even if a pointing device is not used, the character string of the desired clause to be corrected can be directly specified and further converted, so that the clause can be corrected. It can be done conveniently and quickly.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of a document processing device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a document processing device according to the present invention. In the figure, an input device 1 has a keyboard equipped with various character keys, conversion keys, instruction keys, etc., and is used to input character strings and commands. The input control unit 2 interprets whether the received code is a character code or an instruction code,
Process according to the interpretation result. The character storage section 3 is composed of a character buffer, and stores kana character strings in the buffer. The display control unit 4 controls the display device 5 to display kana character strings, kana-kanji mixed character strings converted into kana-kanji, homophone groups, and the like.

The conversion control unit 6 sends the conversion target character string (kana character string) to the conversion processing unit 7, receives the conversion processing result of the kana-kanji conversion here, and also sends the conversion processing result to the display control unit 4. do.

The conversion processing unit 7 includes a syntax analysis unit 7A and a clause conversion unit 7B, and the character string to be converted from the conversion control unit 6 is manually inputted to the R sentence analysis unit 7A. 7
At A, syntactic analysis of bunsetsu breaks is performed according to No. 11 Japanese grammar, and the bunsetsu break information is sent to the bunsetsu converter 7B and the bunsetsu information storage section 8. The clause conversion unit 7B converts the input kana character string in units of clauses into a kana-kanji conversion dictionary 9.
Convert to a string containing kana and kanji by referring to . on the other hand,
The clause information storage unit 8 stores clause delimiter information, information on clauses to be corrected, and the like.

Next, the kana-kanji conversion processing operation of the document processing apparatus will be explained based on FIG.

Note that Figures 3 to 8 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the processing process of the kana-kanji conversion process, and in each figure, 30 is the display screen of the display device 5, and 3 OA is a human-powered kana character string with simple kanji. Character string display area for displaying the converted Kana-Kanji mixed character string, 30 B is a bunsetsu! Phrase middle character string for displaying character strings and homophone groups for each li position/
Homophone groups and display areas are shown respectively.

Here, we will explain the processing operation when, for example, the character string "He always goes to school alone" is converted into kana-kanji.

First, from the human power device 1, "ka", "re", "ha"...
When the characters "i" and "<" are entered manually, these characters are entered into the input control section 2 one after another.

Then, the input control unit 2 sequentially picks up the characters "ka", "re", "ha", etc. output from the human-powered device 1, one by one, and determines whether the code taken in order is a letter code or an instruction code. (step 1), and performs the following processing depending on the interpretation result.

In other words, in the case of a two-fork character code, the character is stored in the character storage section 3, and the character is sent to the display control section 4 to be displayed on the display device 5.

(2): In the case of a conversion command code, a character string (character string to be converted) is read from the character string storage section 3, and the character string and the conversion command are sent to the conversion control section 6.

(2) In the case of a clause instruction command code, the character string read from the character string storage section 3 and the position information of the clause are sent to the conversion control section 6.

(2): In the case of a reconversion instruction code, a reconversion instruction is sent to the conversion control unit 6.

Therefore, if the human control unit 2 interprets it as a character code in step 1, it performs the process of (2) above (steps 2 and 3), and if it interprets it as an instruction code, it further interprets the instruction. The type is determined (Step 4), and if the result of this determination is that the instruction code is a conversion instruction, the above process (2) is performed (Step 5). Note that if it is neither a character code nor an instruction code, it waits until those codes are input. The characters "He...
・Iku” passes through the input control unit 2 and the display control unit 4, and then goes to the third
As shown in the figure, the character string display area (hereinafter referred to as
(referred to as a display area) 30A.

By the way, the conversion control unit 6 converts the input conversion target character string (kana character string) by executing the process of -Lki■.
is sent to the conversion processing section 7.

In the conversion processing unit 7, the lV sentence analysis unit 7A performs clause delimitation of the input conversion target character string, stores the clause delimitation information in the clause information storage unit 8 (step 6
), the character string in units of phrases and the phrase delimiter information are sent to the phrase converter 7B. The clause converter 7B performs kana-kanji conversion at the middle level of the clause based on the character string at position 1111 of the clause, and sends the kana-kanji conversion result and clause delimiter information to the conversion control unit 6 (step 7). In this example, the character string to be converted is, for example, [Kaneha/Koenni/Imo/Hitoride/i<] (each character string separated by "/" indicates a character string in one sentence unit). ) is divided into clauses,
The 11th phrase in the phrase is ``He always goes to the park alone'', which is converted into a string of characters mixed with kana and kanji.

By the way, when the conversion result and phrase delimiter information from the bunsetsu converter 7B are input, the conversion control section 6 holds the conversion result and sends the conversion result and phrase delimiter information to the display control section 4 to display the mixed kana-kanji characters. The character string is displayed on the display device 5 (step 8). At this time, the display device 5
As shown in FIG. 4, the display area 30A displays the phrase Q (character string with mixed kana and kanji that is not divided into positions), while the phrase middle character string/homophone/display area ( In the section 30B (hereinafter referred to as a phrase/homonym display area), a character string containing kana and kanji is displayed, which is divided into character strings for each phrase.

Also, at this point, as shown in FIG.
is the target phrase in ShuiV, and at this time, a selection indicating the target phrase to be corrected is displayed in the phrase-based character string "go" displayed in the phrase/homophone display area 30B.

Next, a case will be described in which a desired clause in a character string that has been converted into kana and allographs is corrected. Here, ``He is in the park...''
Assume that ``・'' is modified to ``He is attending a performance...''.

First, the user selects one of the character strings for each phrase (see FIG. 4) displayed in the phrase/homophone display area 30B.
By operating a selection means such as a keyboard, select "Park", for example, as shown in FIG. 5, and then press the conversion key. Then, a clause instruction command is input to the input control unit 2 by selecting a character string in units of clauses, and a re-conversion command is input manually by pressing the conversion key.

Note that when specifying a desired phrase by operating a keyboard as a selection means, the desired phrase may be selected by operating a movement key to move the cursor, or by selecting a phrase or homophone. Alternatively, the selection may be made by pressing a key or number key corresponding to each character string in the phrase unit displayed in the display area 30B. Of course, it goes without saying that the desired phrase can be selected not only by keyboard operation but also by using a pointing device such as a mouse.

In addition, when specifying the above-mentioned desired phrase, conventionally, for example, "He / in the park / always / - people" in 7 lines <
” (each character string separated by “/” indicates a character string for one phrase), the character string “
The underline exists as a selection that moves as the cursor moves.
(to move the cursor to the left) and then
” - “-in people” → “always” → “in the park” and so on, and the desired phrase to be corrected, “in the park”, was specified.

By the way, the human control unit 2, which has received the clause instruction command and the reconversion command, performs the processes in items 2 and 2.

That is, the character string with the reading corresponding to the character string of the phrase to be corrected for which the phrase instruction command has been issued is read from the character string storage unit 13, and the character string with the reading, the position of the phrase, the number of the phrase, and reconversion command to the conversion control unit 6
Send to.

The conversion control unit 6 updates the information of the target clause to be corrected in the clause information storage unit 8 based on the reading character string (clause), position information of the clause, and number information of the clause. In this example, correction 1:, target clause (change from “go” to “park”) (Step 9)
), further sends the character string of the pronunciation of the clause to be corrected and a reconversion command to the conversion processing unit 7, receives the reconversion result from the conversion processing unit 7 that received these information, and performs display control. 4 (step 10). At this time, the conversion processing unit 7 searches the dictionary 9 for a corresponding homophone based on the character string of the pronunciation, and returns the search result to the conversion control unit 6.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG.
Instead of the character string for each first place, the homophone group from the conversion control unit 6 is displayed (step 11).

Then, by operating the selection means as described above, the desired homophone "performance" is selected from among the homophones displayed in the phrase/homophone display area 30B, as shown in FIG. Then, the conversion control unit 6 rewrites “park” to “performance” among the conversion results held (step 1).
2) Further, the changed "performance" is sent to the display control section 4. The display control unit 4 displays the phrase "park" to be corrected and the selected homophone "performance" interchangeably, and
The homophone group displayed in the phrase/homophone display area 30B is deleted (step 13). At this time, display area 3
As shown in FIG. 8, 0A displays the content of the phrase to be corrected converted into the desired homophone, while the phrase/homonym display area 30B displays the homophone, as shown in the same figure. Instead of groups, the character strings displayed in the display area 30A are displayed divided into phrase units.

If there are phrases to be corrected other than the above-mentioned phrase to be corrected, ``park,'' it is possible to reconvert them into the desired homophone by repeating the same process as explained in Figures 3 to 8 above. Is it possible to repeat this operation to create a string containing the desired Kanji characters? I can do 11 things.

Note that in the above embodiment, the character string divided into phrases and the homophone I! The lower part is displayed in the phrase/homophone display area 30B, but the invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to provide areas for displaying each and display them in those areas. In addition, in this embodiment, the selection of the phrase and homophone to be corrected when one line of character strings and the homophone I:T are displayed in the phrase/homophone display area 30B is explained. Alternatively, the display area 30A and the phrase/homophone display area 30B may be configured as a window, and the character string at the +11- position of the phrase/homophone may be displayed in the window of the phrase/homophone display area 30B. If a homophone group cannot be displayed at once, the screen within the window may be scrolled to display the next character string or homophone group.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, character strings with the same contents are displayed in the display area 30A and the phrase/homonym display area 30B; It is also possible to display character strings divided into phrase units, and to display homophone groups in the phrase/homophone display area 30B. In this case, avoid displaying character strings containing kana and kanji that are not divided into bunsetsu units.

As explained above, according to this embodiment, when specifying a clause to be corrected in a character string containing kana and kanji that has been converted all at once by continuous clause conversion, keys or numeric keys corresponding to the character string divided into clause units can be used. You can directly specify the desired clause by pressing . Therefore, even when correcting misconversions due to homophones of phrases without using a pointing device, that is, when correcting them by operating the keyboard, the conventional method is to - move the target phrase for each phrase. For each phrase unit displayed in the phrase/homophone display area, there is no need to repeatedly specify the desired phrase to be corrected, then reconvert, and then select and confirm the desired notation from among the homophones. A desired phrase and homophone can be directly specified from the character string and homophone group. Therefore, the phrase to be modified can be easily and quickly corrected, and in particular, the work of correcting long character strings that have been converted into parentheses is facilitated.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, even when a phrase is corrected without using a pointer or an ing device, the corresponding phrase is selected from among character strings and homophone groups divided into phrases of 1m each. By pressing the ``key'' or numeric key, the desired character string and homophone can be directly specified, making it possible to perform the work easily and quickly. Particularly when correcting a long character string that has been converted into - brackets, it is possible to significantly reduce the time required for correction work.

Therefore, it is possible to improve document processing efficiency such as document creation and editing.
