Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sentence inspecting apparatus for inspecting a sentence, and more particularly to a sentence inspecting apparatus for inspecting the uniformity of character modifications in a sentence. In addition, in this specification, character modification is interpreted as changing the format of a specific portion to a form different from the others, such as locally changing the character size and font.

2. Description of the Related Art Improvements in document technology have made it easier for general users to efficiently create documents using a word processor or the like. Recently, a function to check the input sentence by a computer has been realized. For example, the 4th Conference of the Japan Society for Software Science, B-1-2 "Practical use of the Japanese text creation support tool" Shinwa "on personal computers" includes "Search for words that should be paraphrased", "Style" Many text inspection functions are introduced such as "Unification of" and "Incompatibility of parentheses". It is possible to improve the quality of the sentence by utilizing these functions and detecting the error of the sentence by the computer and then correcting it manually or automatically. Other conventional techniques for text inspection include:
Research Practical Use Report Vol. 36, No. 9, "Japanese Sentence Correction Support System (REVISE)", IPSJ 32nd National Convention 4T-12 "Japanese Text Proofreading Support System CRITA"
C ", IPSJ 33rd National Convention 4J-1" Japanese Text Writing Support System COMET ", etc.

On the other hand, in recent years, it is not uncommon for not only characters to be printed, but also to be underlined, shaded, italicized, etc., or to emphasize particular parts with different fonts and different size characters. Many document processing systems and system description languages have been developed. A typical example of this is the document shaping system LaTe, which has become widespread in recent years.
X has many commands for formatting documents. For example, by setting \ underline {AAA}, you can underline AAA, and {{LA
With RGE AAA}, AAA can be enlarged characters. For LaTeX, Leslie
It is described in detail in “Document Processing System LaTeX” by Lampport.

[0004]

By using a document processing system or system description language, it is possible to create a document that makes full use of various character decorations. However, it is up to the text creator whether or not the character modification can be uniformly applied. For example, if you want to express the character string ABC in LaTeX in italics, {\ sl A
BC}. At this time, if the text creator mistakenly forgets to add the letter decoration to the italic expression and simply uses ABC, there is a mixture of italic ABC and normal type ABC in the text, resulting in a bad appearance. turn into. Although the conventional sentence inspection system as described above has the inspection function for fluctuations in punctuation marks and inconsistency in style, it cannot perform inspection for inconsistency in character decoration.

An object of the present invention is to provide a text inspection apparatus which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and reduces the burden on the user by automatically performing an inspection for inconsistency of the character decoration in the text. To provide.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sentence inspection device, which includes a unit for inputting a sentence, a unit for searching a modified character string with a character decoration in the sentence together with a modified form, and Means for temporarily storing a modified character string and a modified form, and a different modified form character string having a modified form different from the modified character string by searching the same character string as the stored modified character string in the sentence And a means for outputting the different modified form character string.

The sentence inspection apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention includes a unit for inputting a sentence, a unit for retrieving a modified character string with a character decoration in the sentence together with a modified form, and the modified character string and the modified character string. A means for temporarily storing the form; a means for leaving one of the combinations of the stored modified character string and the modified form, and deleting the remaining one; A means for searching the same character string as the modified character string in the sentence to search for a different modified form character string having a modified form different from the modified character string; and a means for outputting the different modified form character string Is characterized by.

[0008]

The operation of the first invention is as follows. First,
The input sentence is searched for a modified character string with a character decoration in the sentence together with a modified form. Next, the same character string as the modified character string searched (regardless of the modification form)
Is searched in the sentence for the modified form of the searched character string, and the modified form different from the original modified character string is
Output as a modified form character string.

The operation of the second invention is as follows. First, the input sentence is searched for a modified character string with a character decoration in the sentence together with a modified form. Next, if there are a plurality of the same combinations of the modified character string and the modified form that have been searched, one is left and the rest is deleted. Then, the same character string (regardless of the modification form) as the remaining modified character string is searched in the sentence to check the modification form of the searched character string, and a modification form different from the original modified character string is searched. Is output as a modified form character string.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the first invention.

This text inspection apparatus is a text input means 1 for inputting text and modification information for searching a text input by the text input means for a modified character string with a character decoration in the text together with a modification form. A text input from the text input means 1 based on the extraction means 2, the modification information storage means 3 for temporarily storing the searched combination of the modified character string and the modified form, and the modified character string in the modification information storage means. And a modification information inspecting unit 4 for inspecting whether or not the modified form of the matching character string in the sentence matches the original modified character string, and outputting the unmatched modified form; And an inspection result output unit 5 for outputting the inspection result of the information inspection unit.

The text input means 1 is a secondary storage / retrieval device such as a floppy disk or a memory, the modification information extraction means 2 and the modification information inspection means 4 are a CPU and a memory, the modification information storage means 3 is a memory, and an inspection result output means. Reference numeral 5 is a display device such as a CRT, which can be realized.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below by taking the case of inputting a LaTeX text as an example.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a sentence input to the sentence input means 1. In FIG. 3, {\ sl XXX} is a control command (modification information) that makes the character string XXX italic, and \ underline {YYY} is the character string YYY.
It is a control command that underlines the part. The modification information extraction means 2 searches the text obtained from the text input means 1, searches for the modified character string to which the character decoration is added in the text together with the modification form, and stores the search result in the modification information storage means 3. Modification information storage means 3 when the sentence of FIG. 3 is input
The contents of the above are shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows that the character string "LaTeX" is modified with the control command \ sl, and the character string "various character modifications" is modified with the control command \ underline.

Next, the decoration information inspection means 4 searches the text input means 1 for the same character string as the modified character string based on the searched modified character string, and modifies the searched character string. Is output to the inspection result output means 5 as a different modified form character string that has a modified form different from the original modified character string. In this embodiment, the character string “LaTe in FIG.
The text of FIG. 3 is searched based on “X” and “various character modifications”. As a result, two cases of "LaTeX" and one case of "various character modifications" are detected. And, the modified forms of these detected character strings are "LaTeX" with \ sl and one unmodified, and "various character modifications" are \ under.
Since it is one case with a line, unmodified “LaTeX” having a modified form different from the original modified character string is output to the inspection result output means 5. The inspection result output means 5 outputs information on the obtained modified character string, for example, as shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the second invention. In the figure, the text input means 1, the modification information extraction means 2, the modification information storage means 3, the modification information inspection means 4, and the inspection result output means 5 are the same as those in FIG. The sentence inspection apparatus further includes a modification information editing unit that leaves one of the combinations of modified character strings and modification forms in the modification information storage unit 3 and deletes the same when there are a plurality of combinations. Equipped with 6. The modification information editing means 6 can be realized by a CPU and a memory.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below by taking the case of inputting the LaTeX text of FIG. 6 as an example.

The procedure until the sentence is input from the sentence input means 1 and the combination of the modified character string and its modified form is stored in the modified information storage means 3 by the modified information extraction means 2 is the same as in the embodiment of FIG. Is. The contents of the modification information storage means 3 at this time are shown in FIG.

Here, since the modification information editing means 6 has two combinations of “¥ sl” and “LaTeX” in the combination group of the modified character string and its modification form in the modification information storage means 3, one To delete. In the example of this description, the contents of the modification information storage unit 3 at this point are the same as those in FIG.
After that, the modification information inspecting means 4 uses the character string “LaT in FIG.
The text of FIG. 6 is searched based on "eX" and "various character modifications". As a result, three "LaTeX" and one "various character modifications" are detected. Then, the modified form of these detected character strings is "LaTeX" with \ sl.
The case and one unmodified, "various character modifications" is \ underl
Since there is one case with ine, one unmodified “LaTeX” having a modified form different from the original character string to be modified is output to the inspection result output means 5. The inspection result output means 5 outputs information on the obtained modified character string, for example, as shown in FIG.
