JPH103469A - Japanese hyphenation processing method and document processor - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce an easy-to-read and decent-looking document by calculating the character pitches to decide to perform the 'run-on' or 'run-off' processing. SOLUTION: At a preprocessing part (S1 to S4), a range of character pitches to be set in a Japanese hyphenation processing mode is decided. Then the length of character display width of a Japanese hyphenation object line is stored together with the total width of characters covering the first one through the final one within the line and the number of characters included in the line respectively. At a retrieval part (S5 to S8), the punctuation and the part of speech of the word that includes the final character are retrieved. If the final character shows a noun, the next part of speech is retrieved. If this part of speech is a postpositional word functioning as an auxiliary to a main word, 'a noun + the postpositional word' is recognized as a word. At a Japanese hyphenation processing part (S9 to S10), it's decided whether a word is divided at the end of a line or at the head of the next line. If the word is divided, the Japanese. hyphenation processing is carried out to correct the character pitches and to display these characters. If the word is not divided, the relevant processing ends.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prohibition processing method in a document processing device such as a word processor or a computer using Japanese document processing, and more particularly to a prohibition processing method in which one word is not divided and a document using the same. It relates to a processing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a word processing device such as a word processor or a computer, characters that are inappropriate if punctuation or "parentheses" are present at the beginning or end of a line are generally "added" to the end of the previous line, or At the head of the next line, a process of “being overtaken” is performed.

[0003] This is called prohibition processing.
In the conventional prohibition processing method, as shown in JP-A-58-195248, target characters are limited to specific characters such as punctuation marks and "parentheses". In this prohibition processing method, words are not subject to prohibition processing,
In some cases, one word is divided into two lines, which makes the document difficult to read. That is, when a document is created in a state where the number of characters in one line sentence is standardized, the end of the line preceding the line on which the prohibition processing is performed and the two characters immediately before the line are prohibited and the prohibition processing is performed. The control unit creates a document from the document data in the internal storage unit based on the document data input from the keyboard, and processes the document in a document creation state. Display on the screen display.
Then, the control unit, if the first character of the document stored in the storage unit corresponds to a predetermined non-starter character,
By determining at least the end of the previous line and the two characters immediately before it, each prohibition process is performed on the document. As a result, almost no end-of-line prohibition sentence remains at the end of the line, and the intervals between the remaining characters can be evenly expanded according to the number of prohibition processing symbols and the like, and printing can be performed so that no blank space remains at the end of the line.

FIG. 6 shows the configuration of this conventional example. In FIG. 6, the control unit 11 creates a document in the internal storage unit 12 based on the document data input from the keyboard 10, and displays the document creation device on a screen display unit 13 such as a CRT. The control unit 11 further stores the document created according to the instruction from the keyboard 10 in the external storage unit 14, and stores the document in the internal storage unit 12 or the document in the external storage unit 14 through the internal storage unit 12. Printer unit 1
Print out with 5. When an instruction for prohibition processing is issued from the keyboard 10, the control unit 11 executes prohibition processing on the document in the internal storage unit 12 and causes the screen display unit 13 to display the processing state. Further, the control unit 11 executes a prohibition process according to a program stored in the internal storage unit 12.

In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-286962, in order to improve the problem that one word is divided into two lines, a prohibition process is performed on a word as a target of the prohibition process. That is, by determining whether the output character is located at the beginning of a phrase or at the beginning of a word, when the word or phrase extends over two lines, the word or phrase is moved to either line and read. Outputs a character string that is easy to use. Structurally, in Japanese language processing, when an output request comes from the output request unit, it is first determined whether or not the output character is the beginning of a line, and if it is the beginning of the line, then whether or not the output character is a punctuation mark is determined. Is determined. As a result, if it is not a punctuation mark, it is determined whether or not the output character is located at the beginning of the phrase. If the result is not at the beginning of the phrase, it is determined whether or not the output character is at the beginning of the word. If not, prohibition processing is performed. That is, a word or a phrase extending over two lines, the previous line and the next line, is moved to one of the lines so that the word or phrase does not extend over two lines. Thus, for example, when an output request for “Tokyo region” is made, the movement is performed from the beginning of the second line to the end of the first line, so that a character string that is easy to read can be output.

[0006]

However, as described above, only one character or a specific symbol can be set in the prohibition processing, and it cannot be set in word units. As a result, one word is divided into the end of the line and the beginning of the next line, which makes it difficult to read as a sentence and has a bad appearance.

As the next problem, in the above-described prohibition processing, the problem that one word is divided into two lines has been improved, but the number of characters and the character width of one line are not particularly considered. Therefore, the character pitch of the line on which the prohibition processing has been performed becomes too small, and conversely, it may be difficult to read.

The reason is that, when the prohibition processing is performed, the divided characters are “added” to the prohibition target line or “added” to the next line, so that the number of characters on the prohibition target line increases or decreases. For this reason, the character pitch of the line on which the prohibition process has been performed may be too small unless the process to be performed is determined as needed in consideration of the number of characters and the character width of one line.

An object of the present invention is to create a document which is easy to read and is well-formed by performing prohibition processing based on part of speech as well as normal prohibition processing.

[0010] Here, the "part of speech" is a nickname that categorizes words according to their grammatical properties and functions. Divided into verbs and particles. In addition, "word" refers to a single word, an individual word as a unit constituting a phrase or sentence in grammar, and a simple word consisting of a single coined component and a compound word consisting of a combination of coined components is there. further,
"Noun" is one of the parts of speech, which is a word that expresses the name of a person, object, or matter. The "particle" is one of the parts of speech and is an unconventional auxiliary word that refers to various words, indicates the relationship between words, and adds various meanings. (The above is Kodansha: Japanese Dictionary.) Hereinafter, the terms used are used in the above meaning.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems, to eliminate the division of words as well as specific characters, and to easily create a readable and well-formed document. And Therefore, the prohibition processing method and the document processing apparatus using the same according to the present invention improve the problem that the word is divided into two lines by subjecting the word recognized as the part of speech to the prohibition processing. Also, by calculating the character pitch after prohibition processing from the number of characters and the character width of one line, and determining whether to perform “add-in” or “drop-out”, it is possible to create an easy-to-read and well-formatted sentence. Become.

Specifically, in the prohibition processing method according to the present invention, a plurality of lines of a document are input in a state in which the allowable range of the character pitch for one line is specified, and the part of speech including the word at the end of the line is specified. One word is extracted, the character pitch when one word is included in the line is calculated, and if the character pitch is within the allowable range, the document on the line is displayed on the display at the character pitch. Features.

[0013] In addition, the prohibition processing method according to the present invention is to input a document in a state where the allowable range of the character pitch for one line is specified, and extract a word combined with the word at the end of the line.
When the word is a noun, if the next word is not a particle, a word is formed by the noun, and a character pitch when the one word is present in the line is calculated. If so, the one word is included in the line, and if the character pitch is outside the allowable range, the one word is moved to the next line. Further, a document is input in a state where the allowable range of the character pitch for one line is specified, and a word combined with the word at the end of the line is extracted. If the word is a noun,
If the next word is a particle, a word is formed by the noun and the particle, a character pitch is calculated when the one word is present in the line, and if the character pitch is within the allowable range, The one word is included in the line, and if the character pitch is outside the allowable range, the one word is moved to the next line. Further, the document processing apparatus is characterized by using this prohibition processing method.

[Operation] According to the present invention, one word is not divided into two lines, and when the word is shifted to one of the lines, the number of characters in the shifted line increases. It is possible to easily create a well-read and well-formatted sentence without the display or print range being retracted or jumping out. Further, the document processing apparatus using this prohibition processing method can create a document according to the calculated character pitch in the line, and provide a display and a printer with a good-looking document.

The program of the prohibition processing stored in the internal storage unit 12 is different from the conventional example, and the control unit 11 controls the other units according to a program described in detail below.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a part-of-speech prohibition processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing details of the prohibition processing in the [prohibition processing unit] of FIG.

First, characters are input by the input means 10,
The prohibition processing is executed from when one line has been input. However, S1 and S2 may be executed in advance. (A) The range of the character pitch between the characters to be set in the prohibition processing and the characters is determined. (S1 in FIG. 1) (If it is out of this range, the following prohibition processing is not performed.) (B) The length of the line subject to the prohibition processing is stored. (S in FIG. 1
2) (c) Add and store the character width of each character from the first character in the line to the last character in the line. (S3 in FIG. 1) The number of characters in the line is also counted and stored. (S4 in FIG. 1) (d) A delimiter as a word is searched for the last character in the line. (S5 in FIG. 1) (I) The part of speech of the word is searched. (S6 in FIG. 1) (II) As a result of (I), only when the part of speech of the word is a noun, the part of speech of the next word is searched. (S7 in FIG. 1) (III) If the part of speech of the next word is a particle, "noun + particle" is recognized as one word. (S8 in FIG. 1) (e) When the word is divided into the end of the line and the beginning of the next line,
The processing of the [prohibition processing section] is performed. (S9 in FIG. 1) If the word is not divided into the end of the line and the beginning of the next line,
The processing ends without performing the prohibition processing.

Next, the flowchart of the [prohibition processing section] will be described. (F) The following information is stored. (S11 in FIG. 2) (I) The character width and the number of characters of the word existing in the target line are stored. (II) Next, the character width and the number of characters of the word remaining on the line following the target line are stored. (III) The first character of the word and the last character of the word are stored. (G) The following calculation is performed to calculate the character pitch when a word including the last character in the line is included in the target line. (S12 in FIG. 2) (Length of target line stored in (b))-(Character width from first character in line to last character in line of target line stored in (c) + stored as (f) (II)) The following calculation is performed on the calculation results in (h) and (g).
(S12 in FIG. 2) (Calculation result in (g)) {(number of characters in line stored in (c) + number of characters of word remaining in target line next to target line stored in (f))-1} It is checked whether the calculation result in (g) is within the range of the character pitch determined in (b). (S13 in FIG. 2) In the case of the range, the character pitch is set in order to equally allocate the characters from the first character in the line to the last character of the word stored in (e) in the line. (S16 in FIG. 2) In the case of being out of the range, the following calculation is performed to calculate the character pitch when the word including the last character in the line is excluded from the target line. (S14 in FIG. 2) (I) (length of target row stored in (b)) − ｛((c)
(Character width from the first character in the line to the last character in the line stored in)-(Character width of the word existing in the target line stored in (f))｝ (II) The following calculation is performed on the calculation result in (I). I do.
(S14 in FIG. 2) (Result of calculation in (f)) {(number of characters in target line stored in (c) −number of characters in word remaining in target line stored in (f)) − 1} (III ) Check whether the calculation result in (II) is within the range of the character pitch determined in (b). (S15 in FIG. 2) In the case of the range, the character pitch is set in order to equally allocate the characters from the first character in the line to the character before the first character of the word in the line. (S16 in FIG. 2) When the value is out of the range, the process ends without performing the prohibition process on the target line. (I) Redisplay the line where the character pitch has been changed.
(S10 in FIG. 1) The present invention provides a pre-processing unit (S1 to S4) for storing values required in the prohibition processing in FIG. It is composed of a prohibition processing section (S9-S10) that performs prohibition processing and displays it on the screen.

[2] Description of Function In the pre-processing unit (S1 to S4), the range of the character pitch to be set at the time of the prohibition processing is determined (S1), and the length of the character display width of the prohibition processing target line (S2); Total of each character width from the first character in the line to the last character in the line (S3), the number of characters in the line (S4)
Is stored.

In the search section (S5 to S8), the delimiter (S5) of the word containing the last character in the line and the part of speech (S5)
6) Search. If the last part of speech is a noun, the next part of speech is searched (S7). If the last part of speech is a particle, "noun + particle" is recognized as a word (S8).

The prohibition processing section (S9 to S10) determines whether the word is divided into the end of the line and the beginning of the next line (S9).
If the word is divided at the beginning and end of the line, the prohibition process shown in FIG. 2 is performed to correct and display the character pitch (S10).
If not, the process ends.

Next, the function of the prohibition processing of the prohibition processing section will be described with reference to FIG.

At S11, the number of characters, the character width, the first character and the last character of the word existing in the target line and the line following the target line are stored.

In S12, a character pitch is calculated when a word including the last character in the target line is put in the target line. It is checked whether the character pitch calculated in S13 is within the range of the character pitch determined in S1.
If the character pitch is within the range, the process proceeds to S16, and the character pitch is changed so that characters from the first character in the target line to the last character of the word stored in S5 are evenly allocated in the target line.

If the character pitch is out of the range in S13, the character pitch in the case where the word including the last character in the target line is excluded from the target line is calculated in S14.
At 5, it is checked whether the character pitch is within the range of the character pitch determined at S1. If the calculated character pitch is within the range, the process shifts to S16, and the character pitch is changed in order to equally allocate the characters from the first character in the target line to the character before the head of the word which is the last character in the line. Next, the process proceeds to S10, in which the word including the final character is moved to the line next to the target line and redisplayed.

[3] Description of Operation Next, an actual operation example of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

S17 is a screen display before the prohibition processing is performed, and shows an example in which characters are input over three or more lines. According to S5 and S6 in FIG.
Search for word breaks and parts of speech that contain. Since the part of speech of the searched word "sale" is a noun, the part of speech of the next word "price" is searched in S7. Since the search result is a noun and not a particle, the process proceeds to the prohibition processing unit. By S12 in FIG. 2, the character pitch when the word "special sale" including the last character in the line is put in the first line is shown in FIG.
計算 (Length of target line)-(Total character width from the first character in the target line to the last character in the line + Character width of the word remaining in the next line) 数 (Number of characters in the target line) ) + (The number of characters of the word remaining in the line next to the target line) -1}, and it is checked in S13 whether or not the character pitch is within the range. Since the character pitch is within the range set in S1 of FIG. 1, the character pitch is changed in S16, and the characters are evenly allocated to the first line, and displayed again in S10. At this time, S18 is displayed on the screen.

Next, S18, which is the result of the prohibition processing on the first line
The processing is performed on the second line. First, in step S5, a search is made for the delimiters and the parts of speech of the words that include the final character "an" at the end of the second line. Since the word "annoyance" searched in S6 is a noun, the character "o" next to the part of speech is recognized as a particle in S7, and "annoyance" is recognized as one word in S8. Since the word "annoyance" at the end of the line is divided at the beginning of the next line by S9, the processing shifts to the prohibition processing unit. In S12, the character pitch when the word "annoyance" including the last character in the second line is inserted in the second line is calculated by the calculation method of FIG. 3, and in S13, whether the character pitch is within the range of the character pitch is determined. Perform a check. Since the character pitch is too small and out of the range, the character pitch obtained by removing “annoyance” from the second line in S14 is calculated by the calculation method of FIG. 4, [((length of target line) − ｛(head of target line) Calculated as (total character width from character to last character)-(character width of word existing in target line) {] {(number of characters in target line)-(number of characters of word remaining in target line) -1} Then, it is checked in S15 whether the character pitch is within the range. Since the calculated character pitch is within the setting range of S1, if “Price to change” is equally allocated to the second line in S16 and S10, it is displayed on the screen as in S19.

Next, S which is the result of performing the prohibition processing on the second line
Processing is performed on the third line of the nineteenth line. In step S5, a search is made for the delimiter and the part of speech of the word containing the end-of-line character "ran".
Since the searched word "confused" is a noun, the part of speech of the next word "ga" is searched in S7. Since "ga" is a particle, "confused" is recognized as one word from S8. In S12, the character pitch when the word “confused” including the last character in the third line is inserted in the third line is calculated by the calculation method of FIG. 3, and it is checked in S13 whether the word is within the range of the character pitch. I do. Since the character pitch is within the range, in S16 and S10, “the annoyance to confusion” is reduced by 3
If the lines are evenly allocated, the screen is displayed as in S20.

In the above embodiment, as a specific example, the prohibition processing of the present invention has been described for the character input of three or more lines shown in FIG. 5, but the prohibition processing is performed when a plurality of characters of nouns or particles are input following the first line. Processing may be performed, or prohibition processing may be performed in real time.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, particularly the noun in the part of speech was described, but this may be another corresponding word, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

When punctuation marks such as "., ()" Which are the subject of the conventional prohibition processing are mixed with a word including a word at the end of a line, the word and the punctuation mark form one word, and the character pitch is changed. May be calculated to determine whether or not this character pitch is within the allowable range of the character pitch initially defined. This is not a problem as long as it is within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0033]

The first effect is that the word is not divided into two lines and is difficult to read.

The reason is that not only punctuation marks and parentheses but also words are subject to prohibition processing.

The second effect is that a well-formed document can be easily created.

The reason is that the character pitch after the prohibition processing is calculated from the number of characters and the character width of one line, and it is determined whether to perform “add-in” or “drop-out”.
The character pitch of the line where the prohibition processing was performed is too small,
This is because it is no longer difficult to read. In addition, since the process of performing the prohibition process and equally allocating the characters in the line where the number of characters has increased is also performed at the same time, it is easy to create a well-formatted and readable document.
