Therefore, when converting kana to kanji, an example of the usage of the read word is displayed, making it possible to prevent errors in kanji usage when creating sentences.

(f) Examples Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on examples shown in the drawings. Note that this invention is not limited to this.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor.

In this figure, there are 1 and other keys, function keys for instructing various functions as a Japanese word processor, a kana-kanji conversion key for executing kana-kanji conversion,
It is a keyboard equipped with guide keys etc. for displaying usage examples to be described later, and the control unit 2 displays information on how to use words in kana.
Enter.

The control unit 2 is composed of a microprocessor, and a ROM
Various data processes, which will be described later, are carried out in accordance with a control program written in the program memory 3 consisting of:

Reference numeral 4 denotes a kana-kanji conversion dictionary consisting of a floppy disk device or ROM, which stores a large number of words including kanji along with their reading information.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an input memory consisting of a RAM, which stores kana character strings input from the keyboard 1, the results of kana-kanji conversion, and created sentences that are mixed kanji and kana characters.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an example memory consisting of a floppy disk device or ROM, and as shown in FIG.

The things shown in Figure 3 are two words, such as "meeting" and "advance,""saving" and "recommend," and "superior" and "recommend."
This is part of an example sentence that shows a combination of two words as an example sentence, and in order to perform comparison processing with a sentence with kanji and kana mixed from two words after kana-kanji conversion, this example memory 6 contains this example. Three such usage examples are stored as a database for each block, for example, the first to third blocks.

7 is a CRT display or LC (liquid crystal) display,
Alternatively, it is a display device such as an EL display,
The contents stored in the input memory 5, such as character strings and sentences inputted from the keyboard 1, and various processing results such as usage examples are displayed.

The control unit 2 determines whether the key input from the keyboard 1 is a kana character key, a function key, or a kana-kanji conversion key guide key based on the key code, and if the key code is a kana character, the corresponding key is selected. In the sense that there is no example, the guide flag is turned off, stored in the input memory 5 as a conversion target for kana-kanji conversion, and displayed on the display device 7.

The fourth example shows a screen display example of the display device 7 in this state.
It is a diagram.

Then, when the kana-kanji conversion key is input following the input kana character string, the word corresponding to the kana character string stored in the input memory 5 is read from the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4, so-called kana-kanji conversion is performed, and the kana character string is Convert to a sentence with kanji and kana.

Furthermore, the control unit 2 stores the conversion result of the kana-kanji conversion in the example memory 6, comparing the word pair of the phrase immediately before the cursor and the word of the phrase before it, as shown in FIG. Search while comparing with examples.

Next, when one or both of the above word pairs match, the guide flag is turned on and a mark "A[" is displayed in front of the cursor, meaning that there is a corresponding example.

The fifth example shows a screen display example of the display device 7 in this state.
It is a diagram.

This input conversion example matches "recommend membership" in the example stored in the example memory 6 shown in FIG.

Here, when the guide key is input, another display screen is created in the display screen of the display device 7 to display the word pair of the related block shown in FIG. Let screen lO be the window picture i1 [
10.

The sixth example shows a screen display example of the display device 7 in this state.
It is a diagram.

In FIG. 6, pairs of related words in the second block shown in FIG. When the remaining related word pairs of the second block shown in FIG. 3 are displayed and the guide key is further input, the third block shown in FIG.
Next, the second block and the word pairs as examples are sequentially displayed on the window screen IO shown in FIG.

Next, the contents of the processing operation of the control section 2 will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when a key is input from the keyboard l (step 31), it is determined whether the key is a function key or not (step 32), and if it is not a function key, the guide flag is turned off (step 33). , the data such as the kana character string inputted by the key is stored in the input memory 5 (step 34), displayed on the screen of the display device 7 (step 35), and the process returns to step 31.

If it is determined in step 32 that it is a function key, then it is determined in step 3 whether or not it is a modification key.
6) If it is a conversion key, perform kana-kanji conversion processing and display the conversion result on the screen of the display device 7.Step 3
7) Search is performed while comparing the conversion result with the example word pairs in the example memory 6 (step 38).

Then, by that search, among the word pairs resulting from the conversion,
It is determined whether one or both match the example word pair (Step 39). If they do not match, the process returns to the display process (Step 35); if they match, the guide flag is turned on ( Step 40), display the “Ato” mark in front of the cursor (Step 41)
, return to step 31.

In step 36, if it is not a conversion key, then it is determined whether it is a guide key or not in step 4.
2) If it is a guide key, it is determined whether the guide flag is on (step 43).

Here, if the guide flag is not on, the process returns to step 31, and if the guide flag is on, and
When the word pair is not displayed on the window screen 10 (step 44), the searched word pair is displayed on the window screen 10 (step 45), and when the word pair is already displayed on the window screen 10, the next step is performed. (step 46) and return to step 31 for each word pair.

Further, in the determination at step 42, if it is not a guide key, processing corresponding to various functions specified from the keyboard l is performed (step 47), and a corresponding display is performed on the screen of the display device 7 (step 48), return to step 31.

In this way, after performing Kana-Kanji conversion, the converted word is displayed by displaying examples that include either the word in the bunsetsu immediately before the cursor, the word in the previous bunsetsu, or both. , you can check whether you are using it correctly.

(G) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, the word corresponding to the input reading information is read out from the dictionary means and displayed, and furthermore, the usage examples including the read word are searched and displayed. By checking this, you can prevent mistakes in kanji usage when creating sentences.
