Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability by adding the same information as the information (word registering information) of the freely registered word to the character string subjected to the character type conversion which is not the object of the learning and registering it into the KANA (Japanese syllabary)/KANJI (Chinese character) converting dictionary. CONSTITUTION:A sentence storage means 2 stores the inputted sentence and a conversion part 3 converts a HIRAGANA (cursive form of Japanese syllabary) character string into the KANJI/KANA mixed character string by using a KANA/KANJI converting dictionary 4. The KANA/KANJI converting dictionary 4 registers the word used for KANA/KANJI conversion, and obtains the KANJI information and the part of speech information for the inputted HIRAGANA character string. A word registering means 5 registers the word not registered in the KANA/KANJI converting dictionary 4 into the KANA/KANJI converting dictionary 4 freely by an operator. A character string converting means 7 converts the character string such as HIRAGANA and KATAKANA to another character type, and a part of speech information adding means 51 adds the information of the same format as the part of speech information of the word registered in the KANA/KANJI converting dictionary 4 to the character string converted and decided and records it in the dictionary.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a character string registration/learning method.

0002

[Prior Art] In the conventional technology, a word included in a kana-kanji conversion dictionary is displayed on the screen, and when the operator makes a selection and decision, information that "selected" is recorded in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary, and then the same word is displayed on the screen. The system was such that when a kana heading was input, it was displayed as the first conversion candidate based on that information. This method uses the "character string conversion method" (Patent Application Hei 1-1
Character strings whose character types were converted using a method such as 26233) were not studied.

0003

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the conventional method described above, learning processing is not performed on character strings resulting from character type conversion. For example, the process for obtaining the character string "Seibu Lions" will be described below. First, input a heading such as "Seiburai Onzu" and convert it. In the kana-kanji conversion dictionary, for the kana heading "Seibu", there are first candidates "Western", second candidates "Seibu", etc.
Assuming that no corresponding word has been registered for "Lions", the first conversion result will be "Western Lions".

[0004] Here, the operator selects "Seibu" for the kana heading "Seibu" by homophone conversion, which is a known method, and selects the hiragana character string for the kana heading "Lions". Activate the means to convert to katakana string,
Convert the displayed "Lions" to "Lions" to obtain the desired character string "Seibu Lions".

At this point, the status of the learning process is as follows. Since "Seibu" is a word that exists in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary, the information "selected by the operator" is recorded in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary by the learning means, and then the kana heading "Seibu" is recorded in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary. When ``Seibu'' is entered, ``Seibu'' will be displayed as the first option. On the other hand, "Lions" is a character string obtained as a result of character type conversion and does not exist in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary, so it is not subject to the learning process. In other words, if you type "Lions" next time,
"Lions" is not displayed.

[0006] Therefore, if the user inputs "Seibu Lions" next time, the first conversion result will be "Seibu Lions", and the operator will have to convert the character type for "Lions" again using the above procedure. Must be.

[0007] As described above, in the conventional method, the same operation must be performed every time to convert the character type.
There is a problem that the conversion operation becomes complicated and operation efficiency decreases.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The character string registration/learning method of the present invention includes a text storage means for storing input text;
A kana-kanji conversion dictionary capable of searching kanji information and part-of-speech information of a word from a kana heading, a learning means for recording information on words selected by an operator in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary, and words that do not exist in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary. In the character string registration/learning method of the kana-kanji conversion device, which has a word registration means that allows the operator to register, (A) hiragana character strings, katakana character strings, kanji character strings, and romaji character strings are converted into characters of different character types. (B) adding information in the same format as the part-of-speech information of the word registered in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary to the character string converted and determined by the character string character type conversion means; and means for making a "character string subjected to character type conversion" a learning target by adding the character string and recording it in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

[0010] The input unit 1 inputs sentences using a keyboard. The text storage means 2 stores the input text. The conversion unit 3 converts the input hiragana character string into a kanji-kana-mixed character string using the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4. The kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4 registers words used for kana-kanji conversion, and can obtain kanji information and part-of-speech information for input hiragana character strings. The word registration means 5 is
This is a means for the operator to freely register words that are not registered in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4 in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4. When the word registration means 5 registers a word, the part-of-speech information adding means 51 adds information such as "a word registered by the operator" to the word to be registered in the same format as the part-of-speech information of the word in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4. Word registration means 5
It is provided as one of the functions of

The learning means 6 preferentially displays the word selected and determined by the operator the next time the same kana heading is input. The learning information addition means 61 is configured to add a word "operator-selected word" to the word selected and determined by the operator during kana-kanji conversion when there are a plurality of words with homophone objections in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4. Information (learning information)
is added, and the next time the same kana heading is input, that word is displayed as the first candidate, and is provided as one of the functions of the learning means 6. The character string character type conversion means 7 is
It converts hiragana, katakana, kanji, and romaji strings into strings of different character types. The screen display means 8 displays the conversion result of kana-kanji conversion on the screen. The control unit 9 controls the above operations.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the movement of data according to the method of the present invention, where 21 is a part of the contents of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4 before starting the character string registration/learning method, and 22 is the character string character type conversion means 7. shows how the character type is converted from hiragana to katakana, 23 shows how information in the same format is added as part of speech information by the part of speech information addition means 51, and 24 shows the contents of the Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary 4 of the character string registration/learning method activation word. is part of. Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described assuming the following example.

(Example) When it is desired to input "Seibu Lions", first, a kana heading is input using the input section 1. In the Kana-Kanji Conversion Dictionary 4, there are 213 first candidates, ``Seibu'', 214 second candidates, etc. for the kana heading ``Seibu'', and no corresponding word is registered for ``Lions''. Therefore, the first conversion result is "Western Lions". Here, the operator, for the kana heading "Seibu",
"Seibu" 214 is selected by homophone conversion, which is a known method, and for the kana heading "Lions", the displayed "Lions" is changed to "Lions" by the character string character type conversion means 7. Convert (22) to obtain the desired character string "Seibu Lions".

At this point, the processing status of the learning means 6 is as follows. "Seibu" 214 is a word that exists in the Kana-Kanji Conversion Dictionary 4, so the learning means 6 uses "
The information (learning information) "selected by the operator" is recorded in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4 (244). On the other hand, regarding "Lions", when the character type is converted and determined, the part-of-speech information adding means 51 generates the same information as "the operator registered the word" (word registration information), that is, "Kintei". "Kintetsu Gyūgyu Gundan" 212/2
The same information as 42 is added (23) and automatically registered in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 4 (246).

[0015] As a result, if you then input the same kana heading as "Seibu Lions" and convert it, the learning information of "Seibu" 243 and "Seibu" 244 will be added to "Seibu". "Seibu" 244 is displayed as the first candidate. Furthermore, for "Lions", "Lions" 246 is registered through the above process, so it is converted to "Lions". In other words, the desired character string "Seibu Lions" can be obtained without performing character type conversion again.

[0016]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, in the character string registration/learning method of the present invention, the operator can freely register character strings that have been converted into character types that were not targeted for learning using the word registration means. By adding the same information as the word information (word registration information) and automatically registering it in the kana-kanji conversion dictionary, the next time you enter the same kana heading, you will be able to find the desired character without having to convert the character type again. This has the effect that a large number of columns can be obtained, and a significant improvement in operability can be expected.
