Abstract

PURPOSE:To generate a document with fertile expression by inputting a phrase, reading out figurative expression information provided in the phrase, and inputting by synthesizing the figurative expression information with the phrase. CONSTITUTION:When the phrase is inputted in a state where a character is inputted and figurative expression is desired to generate, a figurative key is depressed. Thence, it is judged whether or not an inputted phrase exists in a data table 1. When a corresponding phrase exists, an attaching information number provided in the phrase inputted from the table 1 is acquired. Then, the figurative expression equivalent to an acquired attaching information number is obtained from a data table 2. Furthermore, acquired figurative expression is displayed on a screen. It is judged whether or not the figurative expression is selected from figurative expression candidates being expressed. When it is selected, the figurative expression is synthesized with the inputted phrase, and a result is inputted. Thereby, it is possible to synthesize the figurative expression in accordance with the phrase, and to generate a sentence with fertile expression even by a person with low sentence generating capacity.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a word / phrase input system, and more particularly to a sentence creating method for inputting a sentence.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a personal computer or a word processor, in order for an operator to create a text with rich expressive input, it is necessary for the operator to consider the text in advance.

[0003]

According to the above-described conventional Japanese sentence creating method, when the operator who creates the sentence has a poor writing ability, it is necessary to create a Japanese sentence with rich expressiveness. Have difficulty. For example, "a round face"
If you write such a sentence, it is difficult to tell the reader how it is round.

[0004]

A word / phrase input system according to the present invention inputs a word / phrase, reads metaphor expression information held by the word / phrase from a data table, and reads the read metaphor expression information and the word / phrase. It is configured so as to be synthesized and input.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of the word / phrase input system of the present invention.

A word or phrase is input in the state of inputting characters (step 11), and when the metaphor expression is desired, the metaphor key is depressed (step 12). When the metaphor key is pressed down, the word or phrase entered is in the data table 1 (see FIG. 2).
(See (a)) exists (step 1)
3). If there is no corresponding phrase in Table 1, the operator is notified that the metaphorical expression synthesizing function cannot be used, and the input of the phrase is returned to (step 14).

If there is a corresponding word / phrase, the additional information number of the word / phrase input is acquired from the table 1 (step 15). Then, the metaphor expression corresponding to the acquired additional information number is acquired from the data table 2 (see FIG. 2B) (step 16). Further, the acquired metaphorical expression is displayed on the screen (step 17).

It is judged whether to select from the metaphor expression candidates in the expression (step 18). If no selection is made, the next candidate is displayed and the state of selection judgment is returned to (step 19). If selected, the metaphor expression and the input word are combined and input (step 20).

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the operation of the above word / phrase input system. In the figure, for example, if the metaphor key that uses the metaphorical expression combining function is pressed after the word "round" is input (screen 21), the metaphorical expression candidates for "round" are displayed in the lower part of the screen (screen 22). ).
When a desired expression is selected from the displayed candidates, the word "round like a ball" that is a combination of the selected candidates is input (screen 23).

[0011]

As described above, the present invention has the function of synthesizing metaphorical expressions according to words and phrases, so that even a person who is poor in the ability to create sentences can create sentences with rich expressive power.
