Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce productions KANA(Japanese syllabary)-KANJI(Chinese characters) strings having possibility for non-selection and also to reduce the memory capacity by storing the KANJI-KANA strings of the output of a KANA/ KANJI converting part by a last-in/first-out system and then displaying them for output. CONSTITUTION:A KANJI-KANA string memory part 13 applying a last-in/first- out system can store three characters at a time. An input KANA string temporary memory part 11 stores a KANA string ''SHUKO'', and this KANA string is converted into a KANJI string ''SHUKO'' (sailing) by a KANA/KANJI converting part 12 and delivered. Under such conditions, an operator decides that said KANJI ''SHUKO'' is not desired and executes successively KANJI conversions through a control part 16 to deliver other different KANJI ''SHUKO'' (circumnavigation) and (autumn suburb). Thus the part 13 is filled with KANJI strings ''SHUKO'', and the old KANJI strings ''SHUKO'' (sailing) and (circumnavigation) are erased by new strings ''SHUKO'' (autumn farming) and (amity). Then the last KANJI string is displayed. When a desired KANJI ''SHUKO'' (autumun farming) is obtained, the operator pushes a preceding candidate key to reset a pointer and to obtain a desired KANJI ''SHUKO''.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device used in the field of Japanese information processing.

Conventional configurations and their problems In recent years, many studies have been conducted on kana-kanji conversion devices as a means to facilitate the input of Japanese into computers in order to realize Japanese information processing.

A conventional kana-kanji conversion device will be explained below.

Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a conventional kana-kanji conversion device, where 1 is a kana input section for inputting Japanese readings, 2
An input kana string temporary storage section 3 temporarily stores kana strings that have been input in large numbers from the ephemeral input section 1, and an input kana string temporary storage section 3 reads the input kana string temporarily stored in the input kana string temporary storage section 2 and reads the kana string. Kana-kanji converter that outputs the kanji-kana mixed shi string, 4
A kanji-kana-mixed string storage section 6 accumulates and stores kanji-kana-mixed strings that have been output multiple times from the ephemeral kanji conversion section 3, and 6 is a kanji-kana-mixed multi-string storage section 4 for the kanji-kana-mixed string currently being output and displayed. 6 is a kanji/kana mixed string corresponding to the information indicating the position in the storage section 4 of the output kanji/kana mixed string temporarily stored in the position information temporary storage 6. 9 columns of kanji and kana are stored in memory section 4.
7 is a display unit that displays the kanji/kana mixed string read out from the kanji/kana mixed string storage unit 4 by the reading unit 6; 8 is a control information input portion for inputting control information; 9 is a control information input portion; This is a control unit that controls the kana-kanji conversion unit 3 and the reading unit 6 according to control information input to the input unit 8.

The operation of the conventional kana-kanji conversion device configured as described above will be explained below.

Figure 2 shows the state of each part for each key input when creating the kanji string ``Akiko'' with a conventional kana-kanji conversion device.
The numbers in column a indicate the order of key inputs, the columns indicate the input kana columns stored in the temporary storage unit 2 corresponding to the order of key inputs indicated by the numbers in column a, and C indicates the input kana columns stored in the temporary storage unit 2. d indicates a plurality of kanji strings stored in the kanji/kana mixed string storage storage unit 4 corresponding to the key input order indicated by the numbers, and d indicates the output kanji/kana characters temporarily stored in the position information temporary storage unit 6. It shows the position information in the kanji/kana/mixed string accumulation storage section of the mixed string, and shows the kanji/kana/mixed υ string displayed in the eM display section 7.

First, when the kana "shi" is input in the kana input section 1 at a-1, the input kana "shi" is temporarily stored in the input kana column temporary storage section 2. The kana-kanji conversion unit 3 transfers the 39 types of kanji whose reading is the input kana “shi” temporarily stored in the input kana string temporary storage unit 2 to the kanji-kana mixed string storage unit 4 as shown in C of a-1. It is output and temporarily stored in the position information temporary storage section 5. The position information of the output kanji/kana/kana string in the kanji/kana/kana string storage unit 4 is set to O as shown in d of 6-1. The reading unit 6 is a position information temporary storage unit 6.
Read the position information 0 in the kanji/kana/kana/mixed string storage unit 4 of the output kanji/kana/kana/mixed string stored temporarily in the kanji/kana/kana/mixed string storage unit 4! The 0th kanji/kana mixed string "±" is read out and displayed on the display section 7 as shown in e of a-1.

Next, if you enter kana "yu" in a-2, b in a-2
As shown in the figure, the kana string temporarily stored in the input kana string temporary storage section is "shu". Kana-Kanji converter 3 is a-2 b
The input kana string "shu" shown in is read and the 12 types of kanji whose readings correspond to the kana string are outputted to the kanji kana mixed υ string storage section 4 as shown in C of a-2, and the position information temporary storage section 5
is temporarily stored. The positional information of the output kanji/kana/kana string in the kanji/kana/kana/kana/v string accumulation storage section 4 is set to 0 as shown at d of &-2. The reading unit 6 reads position information 0 in the kanji-kana-mixed string accumulation storage unit 4 of the output kanji-kana-mixed-shi string temporarily stored in the position information temporary storage unit 5, and reads the position information 0 from the kanji-kana-mixed string storage unit 4. , read out the 0th kanji kana mixed string "te" and display it on the display section 7 as shown in e of 8-2.Next, input the kana "u" in a-3,
Enter the kana "ko" at a-4. In a-4, the kana column temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 2 and the kanji-kana mixed column corresponding to "shuuto" are not displayed on the display section 7, and are displayed on a flat screen as shown in e of a-4. The reason why the name string "Shuuto" is displayed is because there is no Japanese word with the reading of the kana string "Syuuko", so the kana-kanji converter 3 has created a kanji-kana mixture with the reading of the kana string "shuuko". This is because the string could not be output to the kanji/kana/kana/mixed string storage unit. followed by a
-5 Dekana "U" is input, the kana string temporarily stored in the input kana string temporary storage section becomes "Shukou", and the kana-kanji conversion section 3 has the kana string "Shukou" as the reading and the kanji/kana mixed string 11 The seeds are output to the kanji/kana mixed string storage section 4 as shown in C of a-15, and the output kanji/kana mixed string is temporarily stored in the position information temporary storage section 6 within the kanji/kana mixed string storage section 4. The position information of is set to 0 as shown in d of a-5. The reading unit 6 reads the position information 0 in the kanji/kana mixed multi-string storage unit 4 of the output kanji/kana/kana string, which is temporarily stored in the position information temporary storage unit 6, and reads the position information 0 from the kanji/kana/kana/mixed string storage unit 4. , the 0th kanji/kana mixed character string "Funegyo" is read out, and the corresponding Kanji string "Funegyo" is displayed on the display section 7 as shown in e of a-5. Since the desired kanji/kana-mixed character string is "Akiko", the control information input section 8 uses a-6 to display the homonymized kanji string of the kanji string "Funegyo j" currently displayed on the display section 7. The "Next candidate" key is pressed so that the next candidate for the kanji string "Funegyo" is output to the display section 7. When the "next candidate" key is pressed on the control information input section 8, the control section 9 reads the request and converts it to the kana-kanji conversion section 3.
Request next candidate. When the kana-kanji conversion unit 3 reads the next candidate request, it adds 1 to the position information in the storage unit 4 for the output kanji-kana-mixed string, which is temporarily stored in the position information temporary storage unit 6, and converts it to the current output notation. The kanji string 1 in the 0th position in the middle kanji/kana mixed string storage unit - the kanji string "Shuko" in the 1st position next to Funagyo J
1. Output kanji and kana mixed strings. After the control unit 9 sends a next candidate request to the ephemeral-kanji conversion unit 3, it drives the reading unit 6 and reads the rewritten position information temporary storage unit according to the contents of the rewritten position information temporary storage unit, such as dVCj: of a-6. The kanji string "Chuukou" located at the first position is read out and displayed on the display section 7 as shown in e of a-5. Below, similar to a-5, a-
By inputting the next candidate key from the control information input section 8, the next candidate for the kanji/kana mixed string currently being displayed on the display section 7 is displayed on the display section 7 as y, a~8, and a-8. As shown in e of -8, the desired kanji string "Akiko" is obtained.

In this case, even though the desired kanji string "Akiko" was obtained in a-8, by the time you notice that the desired kanji has been output, as shown in a-9 and a-10, When the user presses the next candidate key two more times after -8, and notices that it has already been displayed on the display section 7, he inputs the "previous candidate" key on the control information input section 8. Similarly to when the next candidate key is pressed, the control unit 9
Controls the ephemeral kanji conversion unit 3 and the readout UIS 6, and reduces the position information temporarily stored in the position information temporary storage unit by one to the position before the kanji string “final voyage” currently being output to the display unit 7. The output kanji string is output to the display section 7. a-11,
By inputting a-12 and the second previous candidate key multiple times through the control information input section 8, the desired kanji string "Akiko" is obtained.

With the above configuration, the conventional kana-kanji conversion device converts the input kana string and selects the next candidate or previous candidate for the input kana string.

However, in the conventional kana-kanji conversion device, when kana rL, J is input in a-1, the kana-kanji conversion unit 3
Even though it is output and stored in the kanji-kana mixed string storage unit 4, the kanji string shown in C of d-1 ends without being selected, so the kana-kanji conversion is very wasteful and unnecessary. The kanji/kana/kana/mixed string storage unit required a large-capacity memory to store all the kanji strings that might be needed, which was uneconomical.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.It avoids creating a string of kanji and kana that may not be selected as a result of kana-kanji conversion, shortens the processing time required for kana-kanji conversion, and improves output kanji. To provide an efficient kana-kanji conversion device by reducing the storage capacity required for a kana-mixed-column-character storage unit.

Structure of the Invention The present invention includes a kana input section, an input kana string temporary storage section, a kana-kanji conversion section, a last-in-first-out type kanji-kana mixed string storage section, a control information input section, a control section, and a display section. This is a Tana-Kanji conversion device, and by storing the Kanji-Kana mixed strings output from the Kana-Kanji converter into the last-in-first-out Kanji-Kana mixed string storage unit, it creates 9 strings of Kanji-Kana mixed words that may not be selected. It is possible to reduce the capacity of the kanji/kana mixed column temporary storage unit.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a kana-kanji conversion device in an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, the kana input section 10, the input kana column temporary storage section 110, the display section 14, and the control information input section 160 are the same as those used in the explanation of the conventional example. Part 7. It has the same function as the control information input section 8, and 12 is a kana-kanji conversion section that outputs only one string of kanji-kana mixed words of the word whose reading is the input kana string temporarily stored in the input kana string temporary storage section 11. , 13 is a last-in-first-out 9-column storage unit for kanji-kana-mixed strings outputted from the kana-kanji converter 12 in a last-in-first-out format, and 14 is a kanji-kana-mixed sub-storage unit using a last-in, first-out system. A display unit 13 outputs one string of kanji and kana mixed characters among a plurality of kanji strings stored in the unit 13, and a display unit 16 outputs a kana-kana mixed string of kanji from a plurality of kanji strings stored in the unit 13; This is a control unit that controls the first-out system kanji/kana mixed sub-storage unit 13.

The operation of the kana-kanji conversion apparatus of this embodiment having the yc configuration as described above will be described below.

FIG. 4 shows the process when outputting and displaying the kanji string "Akiko" to the kana-kanji conversion device of this embodiment, similar to the explanation of the conventional example.
The operation of each part of the kana-kanji conversion device of this embodiment is shown, and f indicates the order of key input as in a of Table 1 above,
Similarly to b in Table 1, 9 is sent to the input kana column temporary storage unit 11■
h-1, h-2, and h-3 are input kana strings that are temporarily stored in the order indicated by the numbers, and h-1, h-2, and h-3 are stored in the last-in, first-out kanji-kana mixed string storage section 13. Indicates a kanji/kana mixed string, i indicates the number of valid kanji/kana mixed strings stored in the last-in/first-out kanji/kana mixed string storage section, and 1 corresponds to the key input order indicated by i. Display section 1

When kana "shi" is input to the bad kana input section 1o, the input kana column temporary storage section 11 receives kana rL as shown in q of f-1.
J is temporarily stored, and the kana-kanji conversion section 12 outputs a kanji string "±" whose reading is the temporarily stored kana "shi" to the input kana string temporary storage section 11. Last-in, first-out system Kanji/kana mixed 9-column storage section 13 stores the kanji string "±" outputted from the ephemeral/kanji conversion section as shown in h-1 of 1-1, and transfers the kanji string to the display section 14. , display the output. Below f-
2, f-a, f-4, f-5 and so on in order.

Input "UJ, rko" and "U", perform the same process as when inputting "shi" in 1-1, and display the kanji string "Funegyo" as shown in 1-6-1. The output is displayed on the section 14.

The desired kanji string l1-i is “Akiko” and is currently displayed in the display section 14.
Since this is a homophone notation of the kanji string "Funegyo" displayed in , the next candidate key is input from the control information input section 1 by pressing f - e. When the control unit 16 receives the next candidate request input from the control information input unit 15, the control unit 16 converts the kana-kanji conversion unit 12
to output the next candidate for the currently outputting kanji/kana mixture string ``Funegyo''. As shown in h-2 of 1-6, when the kana-kanji conversion section 12 receives the next candidate request from the control section 16, it outputs the kanji string "Shuukou", and the last-in-first-out Kanji-kana mixed sub-storage section 13, The kanji string "Shuhang" is output as the latest kanji string, and the kanji string "Shuhang" is displayed on the display section 14 as shown in 1-6-1. In 1-7, the next candidate key is pressed in the same way as f-6, and the kanji string ``shabu'' is obtained as shown in 1 of f-,7. When the next candidate is pressed at 1-8, the kana-kanji converter 12 outputs the kanji ``Akiko'', and the last-in-first-out kanji-kana mixed sub-storage unit 13 converts the kanji string ``shabu'' into f-8.
At the same time as storing as shown in 0h-3, h- of f-y
The kanji string ``Funegyo'' shown in 1 is deleted from memory, and only the three most recently input kanji strings are stored. The desired kanji string is "Akiko", but even though the desired kanji "Akiko" is output as shown in 1-9 j, 1-
Assume that the next candidate key is pressed 9° f-10 and f-a twice. When I noticed that the desired kanji string ``Akiko'' was output when I got the kanji string ``Shinko'' as shown in jVc of f-1o at 1-10, I changed the previous candidate to 1-11゜1-12. Enter the key. If you press -11, the previous candidate key is control information input section 1.
! 5, the control section 16 issues a request to the last-in-first-out Kanji/Kana mixed sub-storage section 13 to output the previous candidate.

When the last-in-first-out system kanji-kana mixed sub-storage unit 13 receives a request from the control unit 16 to output the previous candidate, it outputs f-11.
As shown in 5, the number of valid kanji mixed with kana is reduced by one to 2, and the kanji string "Shuko" is output as the latest input kanji string. In 1-12, similarly to f-11, the number of valid kanji strings shown in i in 1-11 is decreased by 1, and the desired kanji string "Akiko" is set.
