Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily input addresses in Kanji (Chinese character), by providing a means which stores addresses corresponding to zip codes and another means which outputs Kanji from information read out from the storing means. CONSTITUTION:When a zip code is inputted through a keyboard 4, names of places corresponding to the zip code stored in the 2nd storage circuit 3 is read out and displayed on a CRT5 through a common bus 9 by means of a CPU1 and 1st storage circuit 2. In this case, up to the names of places common to the zip code are treated as fixed information and plural town names, etc., contained in one zip code are outputted as menu information. A desired town name is selected from the menu information with a light pen 6 and street names, lot numbers, etc., are inputted from the keyboard 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for inputting Chinese characters for addresses, and particularly to a device for inputting Chinese characters for simple addresses using postal codes determined by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

Conventional technology] Conventionally, as a device for inputting only this type of address in kanji,
There are devices such as kana-kanji conversion, romaji-kanji conversion, and kanji tablets.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

These devices have drawbacks such as requiring skill and time.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has a configuration including at least a means for inputting a postal code, a means for storing an address name corresponding to the postal code, and an output section for outputting kanji characters based on information read from the storage section. The purpose is to provide a simple and efficient method for inputting addresses in kanji.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

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

In Figure 1, 1 is the central processing circuit (CPU), 2 is the first memory circuit (MEM-1) which stores 70 grams etc. for operating and executing the central processing circuit l, and 3 is the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. A second memory circuit (M
EM-2), 4 is a keyboard (KB) for inputting postal codes, etc., 5 is a CR for displaying address names, etc. in kanji characters,
T, 6 is a light bench (WP) for selecting the contents displayed on C几T5, 7 is a printing device (LP) for outputting the postal code and address name in kanji, s is the output postal code and An external storage device (MT) for reusing address names or using them in other devices;
).

FIG. 2 shows the C-T shown in FIG. 1 as an embodiment of the present invention.
5 is an example of the screen, 10 is the entire C-T screen, 11 is a determination information display section for displaying fixed information corresponding to the postal code and information selected from the menu information display section 3 described later, 12 is a menu information display section for displaying non-fixed information corresponding to a postal code, that is, a plurality of place names included in the same postal code.

Next, I will explain the action traps. For example, if 226 is entered from the keyboard 4 in FIG. The readout signal is output on the C-column T5. At this time, place names common to the entered postal code traps are treated as determined information, and if multiple town names are included in the same postal code, such information is displayed as many information.

FIG. 2 is an example of the above-mentioned display, and the determination information display section 2 displays up to "Midori-ku, Yokohama City, 226" as determination information that is commonly included in the postal code 226, that is, it does not change. At the same time, the menu information display section 3 displays the postal code 2.
A plurality of town names other than the decision information included in 26 are displayed. In this example, there are 20 types, but if there are more than 20 types, increasing the number of employees will make it possible to display all the town names included in the postal code of Mi.

Now, for example, if "2 Ikebe Town" is selected from the menu information display section 12 with the 2 point pen 6 shown in the 11th iN,
The information is added to the decision information display section 11 in FIG.
226 @Ikebe-cho, Midori-ku, Hama-shi”. Continuing to input the address etc. using the keyboard shown in FIG. 1, inputting the desired address in kanji characters is completed. After this, depending on the purpose of use, the information input to the decision ff information display section is transferred to the printing device 7 in Fig. 1.
It is also possible to output the data to the external storage device 8 or store it in the external storage device 8.

Note that the means for realizing the second storage circuit 3 in FIG. 1 of this embodiment include a read/write memory 17 (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), a disk, an optical disk, and a magneto-optical disk. This is possible by using mass memory such as a disk.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention allows anyone to easily enter an address in kanji in a short time without any typos by inputting the required postal code and making a simple selection when displaying an address. There is an effect.
