Abstract

PURPOSE:To display the second character string in accordance with a sequence which has been determined in advance, by storing successively plural second character strings of each different display form corresponding to the first character string based on display form information of a display sequence setting part. CONSTITUTION:When a character/symbol key and a conversion key corresponding to the first character string is inputted continuously from an input means 3, a control part 1 stores successively the second character string corresponding to the first character string, in a character string storing part 15, based on display form information which has been read out of a display sequence setting part 9, and when end information is read out of the setting part 9, the storage of the second character string is ended, and the second character string which has been stored in the head is displayed on a display means 20. Next, when the conversion key is inputted again, the second character string which has been stored in the next storing position of the storing part 15 is displayed. Also, the storing sequence of the display form information and the end information of the display sequence setting part 9 can be changed by an input from the input means 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a character string conversion device that can be applied to a word processor or the like that is capable of interactively creating a document while displaying an input character string on a display means.

(b) Prior Art As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 11335/1983, the kana-kanji conversion method in current word processors involves inputting a first character string consisting of kana characters, etc. according to their pronunciation through an input means, and When converting a first character string into a second character string consisting of the corresponding kanji, etc., when there are multiple second character strings, it is common to display the second character strings sequentially in order of frequency of use. It has become a target.

(c) As the problem that the invention seeks to solve is heated, for example, a number such as ``123'' can be displayed in four display formats as the second character string: ``123'', ``23'', and ``23''. Originally, Arabic numerals such as ``r23'' were used in documents in the scientific field, and Chinese numerals such as ``r23'', '23, or ``21san'' were used in documents in the legal field. The form in which numbers are used differs depending on the field of use.

Therefore, instead of determining the display order based on the frequency of eyebrow use as in the past, it is preferable to display the display according to a predetermined order and selectively limit the display format.

(d) Means for solving the problem The present invention was developed in view of the above, and its structural feature is that n (n≧2) different display formats corresponding to the first character string can be displayed. an input means having a character/symbol key and a conversion key for inputting the first character string, the first character string inputted by the input means; A dictionary unit that creates n second character strings with different display formats corresponding to a character string, a display order setting unit that stores display format information and end information of the second character string in a predetermined order, and display characters. The present invention is provided with a column storage section, a display means, and a control section for controlling each of the above sections.

(E) Effect When the character/symbol key and conversion key corresponding to the first character string are inputted successively from the input means, the control section changes the display form information or end information stored in the display order setting section. A second character string corresponding to the first character string is sequentially stored in the display character string storage part based on the read display form information, and when the end information is read, the display character Upon completion of storing the second character string in the column storage section, the second character string stored at the beginning of the display string storage section is displayed on the display means, and then when the conversion key is input again, the above display is performed. Displaying the second character string stored in the next storage position in the character string storage section with the display means, and further displaying the display format information and end information storage section of the display order setting section based on the input from the input means. Can be changed.

(Number 20 is a display means, and the display means is, for example, a CRT.
It has a display consisting of.

Reference numeral (21) denotes a document storage section, and the storage section can be constituted by permanent storage means such as a floppy disk.

Next, to explain the operation of the apparatus of this embodiment, the following two points are the operational features of the apparatus of this embodiment.

(1) When the first character string is a kana character string, an alphabet character string, or an Arabic numeral string representing the number itself, which corresponds to the reading of the number, is input from the input means (3), and then the conversion key is input, the display is displayed. In the means (20), second character strings corresponding to the first character string are sequentially displayed in different display formats according to the storage section for display format information stored in the display order setting section (9). (i) The contents of the display order setting section (9) can be changed. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the above (in).

Now, either 'Nijuusan 1.1 Nijiyuusan', 'n1jyuusan J or Ha '23' is input as the first character string corresponding to the number '23J' through the input means (3), and the first character string corresponding to the number '23J' is input. 1 character string storage section (5), display format information is stored in the display order setting section (9) as shown in FIG. 2, and the contents of the first and vgz counter sections (6) and (7) It is assumed that C1 and C2 are cleared.

In such a state, the input means (3
), it is determined that the change key has been input, and the process proceeds to step S3'.

In step S3, a second character string corresponding to the first character string stored in the first character string storage section (5) is stored in the display character string storage section (15).

Specifically, this is performed based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in step 5301, the address Ad, which is the position information of each area of the display order setting section (9) and the display character string storage section (15), is set to "1".

Next, in step S302, the information "001" stored in the first area (10) of the display order setting section (9) corresponding to the address Ad is read out, and in step 3303, it is determined whether or not this information is end information. can be determined, but since it is not end information, the process proceeds to step 5304.

In step 5304, the dictionary unit (8) creates a second character string that has the display form represented by the information read out in step 5302 and corresponds to the first character string, and stores the address of the display character string storage unit (15). It is stored in the area corresponding to Ad.

That is, the second character string "23" is stored in the first area (10) of the display character string storage section (15).

Then, in step 5305, the address Ad becomes '1'.
'' is counted up and the process returns to step 5302.

The second to fourth areas (11) to (
Since the information stored in 13) is not the end information, 53
A loop consisting of steps 02 to 5305 is cyclically processed three times, and the second to fourth areas (1
7) to (19) correspond to the display format information stored in the second to fourth areas (11) to (13) of the display order setting section (9).''
The second character strings in the display formats are sequentially stored (see FIG. 3).

At the end of these three cycles, the address Ad is 5.
”, and in step 3302 the display order setting section (9
) is read out.

However, since the refusal information is the end information '000', the process proceeds to step S4 via step 5303.

In step S4, the content C1 of the first counter (6) is set to "1" (the count is increased).

In the continuation step <35, one of the second character strings stored in the display character string storage section (15) is displayed on the display means (20>. That is, the value C1 of the first counter (6) is displayed as an address. The second character string stored in the corresponding area of the character string storage section (15) is read out and displayed on the display means (20).Specifically, since C1 is now "1", the display character string storage section ( 15) The second character string “ stored in the first area (16)
23'' is displayed on the display means (20).

Thereafter, a key input from the input means (3) is awaited again in step S6, and when there is a key input, the process advances to step S7.

In step S7, the type of key inputted in step S6 is determined, and if it is determined that a key other than the change key is used, the process proceeds to step S8.
, S9 steps are sequentially processed and the process ends.

In step S8, it is assumed that the second character string currently displayed on the display means (20) has been selected, and the second character string is stored in the document storage section (21). Next, in step S9, the first and second counter sections (6) and (7) are cleared to O''.

Further, if the change key is input in step S7, the process proceeds to step SIO.

In such 310 steps, the first and second counter parts (6) (
The contents C1 and C2 of 7) are compared, and if the condition "Ci - C2" is not satisfied, the process returns to step S4, and if the above condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S11.

In the Sit step, the content C1 of the first counter (6) is set to 0''' and the process returns to the S4 step.

Therefore, younger brother 1, contents C of second counter section (6) and (7)
1, C2 are "1" and "4", respectively, and the display means (20)
It is assumed that the second character string "23" stored in the first area (16) of the display character string storage section (15) is completely displayed as shown in FIG. 6(a).

At this time, when the conversion key is input in step S6, the process sequentially processes steps S7, S10, S4, and S5, and when the content C1 of the first counter (6) becomes "2", the display means (20) As shown in FIG. 6(b), the second character string "23", which has been completely stored in the second area (17) of the display character string storage section (15), is replaced with the second character string "23". will be displayed.

After that, when the conversion key is input twice consecutively, S6;
The loop consisting of steps S7, S10, S4, and S5 is processed twice in a row, and the content C1 of the first counter (6) becomes "3".
°°, "4" and the second character string displayed on the display means (20) is also changed as shown in FIGS. 6(c) and 6(d).

Furthermore, when the conversion key is input in step S6, steps S7, S10, Sll, S4, and S5 are sequentially processed, so the content C1 of the first counter (6) becomes "1" again. In addition, 23°2 is displayed as the second character string on the display means (20) as shown in FIG. 6(a).

Further, as shown in FIG. 7(a), display format information is stored in the first to fifth areas <lG> to <14) of the display order setting section (9) in a different order from that in FIG. S2. shall be.

At this time, since "ooo" information indicating the end information is stored in the third area (12) of the display order setting section (9), the 7th stamp is processed sequentially. Display character string storage section (15) as shown in Figure (b)
"21" and "23" are stored as second character strings only in the first and second areas (16) and (17), respectively, and the content C2 of the second counter (7) is "2". becomes.

Thereafter, when the conversion key is input successively in step S6, "21, 2" and "23" are alternately displayed on the display means (20).

Next, rewriting of the display order setting section (9>) will be explained. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing such an operation.

First, when an instruction is input from the input means (3) to change the contents of the display order setting section (9), the contents C1 of the first counter (6) are set to l'' in step S51. Then, in step S52, Display order setting section (9) 1st to
The contents of the fifth area (10> to (14)) are all set to '000', and an input from the input means (3) is awaited in step S53.

When there is an input from the input means (3) in step 853, it is determined in step S54 whether the input is display format information or indicates the end of processing.
Otherwise, it is determined whether the information is display form information, steps 556 to 858 are sequentially processed, if it is an end instruction, step S59 is processed, and if it is something else, the process returns to step S53.

In step S56, the display format information inputted in step S53 is stored in the area of the display order setting section (9) corresponding to the content C1 of the first counter (6').

That is, when C1 is "1", in the first region (1o),
When C1 is "2", "3", and "4", the input information is stored in the second to fourth areas (11) to (13), respectively.

In the continuation<557 step, the content C1 of the first counter (6)
is "1" (the count is increased, and in step 858, it is determined whether or not C1 satisfies the condition "C1>4", and if the above condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 859).
If the result is unsatisfactory, the process returns to step 853.

Note that the judgment at step 358 is made by the display order setting section (9).
This is a process for always storing end information "o o o" in the last area (the fifth area (14) in this embodiment).

Further, in step S59, the content of the first counter (6) is cleared to "0", and the process ends.

Therefore, for example, at the 353rd step, '010'
, '001'', 011'' and termination instruction information, S53, S54, S56, S57
, the loop consisting of S5g steps has been circulated three times,
The first to third areas (10) to (12) of the display order setting section (9)
) can store the display format information "010", '001', and "011"', respectively, and then S53, S55, and S5
The nine steps are sequentially processed and the process ends.

(G) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, it is possible to display a plurality of second character strings corresponding to a first character string in different display formats in a predetermined order, and the display order can be arbitrarily selected. It can be changed to
