Abstract
An input part 11 has more than one key assigned at least two different letters of the alphabet. A control part 21 generates more than one character string in combination of letters of the alphabet assigned to the same key from inputted character strings by a letter generating part 23. A check processing part 25 for pinyin error then chooses only character strings effect for pinyin as input choices among the character strings, a dictionary searching part 27 replaces the inputted character strings with the chosen choices and converts into appropriate kanji characters to output to a display part 12 as conversion results. Accordingly, a user can easily obtain desired kanji as the results without executing input operations along getting intended letters with pressing down the same key many times.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the input equipment that use such as mobile phone for example limited the input bond number and carry out the Chinese input converting means of Chinese input, the Chinese input transform process method that in same device, uses.
Background technology
Have in the device that can carry out the Chinese input and use the dictionary that the watch sound mark (phonetic) of the Chinese character of Chinese and its pronunciation of expression is mapped, the pronunciation with phonetic input Chinese converts it the function of Chinese character output to.This function is called phonetic Chinese character change function (the Kana-Chinese character conversion function that is equivalent to the Japanese character processor).
In Chinese, the pronunciation of 1 Chinese character must be 1 syllable.1 syllable further constitutes by the beginning consonant part that is called as " initial consonant " with except the part that is called as simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable (vowel being arranged, diphthong, nasalization vowel etc.) of " initial consonant ".Represent the tone that is called as " four tones of standard Chinese pronunciation " (being similar to the stress of Japanese) that syllable rises and falls in addition, 1 syllable is made of these 3 key elements of initial consonant, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable and the four tones of standard Chinese pronunciation.
The example of initial consonant: b, p, m, f, d, t, n, l, zh, ch, sh,
The example of simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable: a, o, e, i, u, ai, en, ang, iong,
Different with vowel with the consonant of Japanese Roman capitals in expression, one of its feature is that the length of letter in the pinyin character string is not fixed.
The example of Chinese phonetic alphabet mark such as Fig. 1.
For example, " b " in " ba " of phonetic mark is initial consonant, and " a " is simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable.Additional tone mark on this phonetic mark is if input " ba1 " then can obtain belonging to the Chinese character of the 1st " eight ", " crust " etc.Equally, " sh " is initial consonant in " shan ", and " an " is simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, when having imported " shan1 ", can obtain the Chinese character of " mountain ", " coral ", " inciting " etc." h " in " huang " is initial consonant, and " uang " is simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, when input " huang1 ", can obtain the Chinese character of " famine ", " unbearably " etc.
When using under the situation of keyboard as input equipment,, just can carry out the phonetic input as described above by pushing each character keys on this keyboard.But the input equipment that is restricted at the such bond number of dial key (being used for importing the key of telephone number) of mobile phone for example because distributed a plurality of different characters on 1 key, is wanted the character imported so the user must repeatedly press same key input.For example, on numeral " 1 " key, be assigned " A ", " B ", " C " 3 characters, in this case,, need push " 1 " key continuously 3 times in order to import " C " this character.
And then, to be willing to disclose such method in the flat 8-314920 communique the spy of Japanese publication, its uses ten keys that are assigned a plurality of kana characters, by a spot of key operation, the conversion candidate that just can obtain wanting.But, the method for this communique only the Kana-Chinese character conversion of Japanese as object, and can not be applicable to the phonetic Chinese character change of Chinese.In addition, in this communique, use the method for from a plurality of conversion candidates that obtain by Kana-Chinese character conversion, dwindling suitable candidate scope, before conversion, do not check the rationality of input of character string.
Summary of the invention
As mentioned above, carry out at the input equipment that the input bond number that uses as mobile phone is restricted under the situation of phonetic input, existence need be pushed same key and repeatedly could be imported want the character imported, the problem that bothers very much in input operation.
Thereby, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of Chinese input transition processing device and Chinese input transform process method, it carries out under the situation of phonetic input at the input equipment few with bond number, do not need the input operation of trouble, just can obtain desirable Chinese character as transformation results simply.

In addition, display unit 12 for example is made of LCD, except carrying out also carrying out the demonstration of various data such as information frame, menu screen from the data presentation of input block 11 inputs.Loudspeaker 13 is used as receiver and uses, the voice data of output partner.Microphone 14 uses as transmitter, imports the operator's of this device voice data.Antenna 15, and exterior terminal between send to receive radiowave.
Fig. 3 is a block scheme of showing the function formation of this device.And then, in Fig. 3, only showed major part of the present invention, promptly constitute with Chinese input conversion process function associated, omitted other function (for example telephony feature).
In this device, except input block shown in Figure 2 11 and display unit 12, also have control module 21, storage unit 22, character generation unit 23, numerical character corresponding tables 24, phonetic correct errors inspection unit 25, phonetic composition rule table 26, dictionary retrieval unit 27, Chinese dictionary 28.
Character string generation unit 23, reference number character corresponding tables 24 generates the processing of the letter corresponding with each numerical key of input block 11.Numerical character corresponding tables 24 as shown in Figure 4, is the table of showing the numerical key of " 1 "～" 9 " and being dispensed on the corresponding relation of the letter on these keys.And then capitalization and lowercase are all corresponding with numerical key in the reality, are logged on numerical character corresponding tables 24, for explanation simply, suppose that only login has lowercase at this, below, the situation with the lowercase input Pinyin is described.
Phonetic is corrected errors and is checked processing unit 25, according to the phonetic composition rule that is stored in the phonetic composition rule table 26, checks the processing whether character string (letter) that is transfused to is set up as phonetic.In phonetic composition rule table 26, storing in advance as the initial consonant (consonant part) of phonetic definition and the combination (with reference to Fig. 8) of simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable (vowel part) with the form of table.
Fig. 5 is the pie graph of Chinese dictionary 28.
In Chinese dictionary 28, login has the needed information in the Chinese-character phonetic letter conversion process of pronunciation and alternative word, part of speech etc.Pronunciation is logined with the phonetic mark, and the Chinese character with this pronunciation is logined as alternative word.And then, in fact, also login the information of part of speech and tone etc. accordingly with pronunciation and alternative word.
At this, for easy to understand, Framingham language phonetic briefly.
In Chinese,, use the watch sound mark that is called as phonetic in order to represent Chinese speech pronunciation.Phonetic uses 26 letters and 2 specific syllables that character representation Chinese is whole.1 syllable is made up of " initial consonant " and " simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable " basically.So-called " initial consonant " is at the consonant of syllable beginning, defined 21 kinds as shown in Figure 6.So-called " simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable " is the part except the initial consonant in the syllable, as shown in Figure 7, has been defined 35 kinds (in fact, also having er etc.).
In Chinese speech pronunciation, general 1 syllable is constituted by 1 initial consonant and 1 simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, but because also have the part that can not make up, so there are 400 kinds approximately.Fig. 8 shows the part of the syllable kind of being made up of initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable.Use the standard pronunciation use of the combination of " zero " expression in the drawings as Modern Chinese.And then, in Fig. 7, only show part combination, and in fact have many combinations.Above-mentioned phonetic composition rule table 26 is stored the combination of this initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable as the phonetic composition rule.
In the Chinese input transition processing device that constitutes like this, be set at function key " F " on the input block 11 by operation the user, input pattern is set under the state of English character input pattern, pressing operation " the 1 "～numerical key of " 9 " carries out the input of phonetic (alphabetic string).In this case, because in the numerical key of " 1 "～" 9 ", on separately, be assigned 2～3 letters, so usually before desirable letter occurs, need repeatedly push same key, and in this device, for 1 character, push the corresponding digital key 1 time, just can carry out the phonetic input.
Below lift the object lesson explanation.
Fig. 9 A to Fig. 9 D is illustrated in the embodiment 1 of this device, with the change shifting state from the corresponding picture of the processing action that is input to conversion.And then the UB among the figure is a underscore, shows present transforming object scope.In addition, the 31st, the pattern display unit, " A " expression is English input pattern.
Now, suppose according to each 1 syllable with the go forward side by side situation of line translation of this pronunciation of phonetic input " bei/jing " (interval of "/" expression syllable does not need when reality is imported).
At first, should carry out the phonetic input of the 1st syllable, push the numerical key " 1 " that is set on the input block 11.On numerical key " 1 ", be assigned " a ", " b ", " c " these 3 characters, and " a " of conduct beginning character wherein is presented on the picture like that shown in Fig. 9 A as input character.
Then, push numerical key " 2 " and numerical key " 3 ", input " d " and " g " these 2 characters.Thus, " adg " this character string is displayed on the picture shown in Fig. 9 B.
At this, if the user push input block 11 transfer key "
*" the indication phonetic Chinese character change, then extract a plurality of characters be dispensed on the key corresponding out with each character of before this input of character string " adg ", generate the character string that makes up these characters.Then, the character string that in the combinations thereof character string, satisfies rated condition, specifically only the character string of setting up as the phonetic that is fit to Pinyin rule shown in Figure 8 is selected as the input candidate of dictionary retrieval usefulness, and gone out of use as phonetic is invalid.
As shown in figure 11, in the input of " 1 ", " 2 " of numerical key, " 3 ", comprise above-mentioned " adg ", generate as " adh ", " adi ", " aeg " ... 27 groups such combining characters string.Wherein, have only " bei " as what phonetic was set up.Thereby this input of character string " adg " is replaced into the input candidate of being called in the combinations thereof character string " bei " and delivers to dictionary retrieval unit 27.Thus, shown in Fig. 9 C, on the assigned position that is presented at picture with " bei " as the conversion candidate of the Chinese character of pronunciation in, the 1st candidate wherein replaces this input of character string " adg " to show.In this example, for " bei ", can enumerate the Chinese character of " north ", " back of the body ", " being equipped with " etc., " north " wherein replaces input of character string " adg " flip displays as the 1st candidate.And then the CL among the figure is a cursor.
At this, the user perhaps, after the operand keyboard is selected desirable conversion candidate, if push definite key " # ", then can determine selecteed conversion candidate at operation cursor key 11a, 11b.In this example, because be on the sequential bits " 1 ", so push definite key " # " or numerical key " 1 " is determined conversion candidate " north " as the conversion candidate " north " of target.Therefore, shown in Fig. 9 D, determine to show conversion candidate " north " as transformation results.When selecting another conversion candidate, numerical key or cursor key 11a, the 11b corresponding with this conversion candidate carries out by operation.And then, if under not definite state, depress "
*" key, then push at every turn this "
*" during key, each conversion candidate is presented on the input picture in proper order.Showing under the state of desirable conversion candidate, if push " # " key then can determine this change candidate.
By above operation, the input conversion of 1 syllable finishes.
Below, carry out the phonetic input of the 2nd syllable with above-mentioned the same pressing operation by numerical key.That is, push each numerical key of " 4 ", " 3 ", " 5 ", " 3 ".On the input picture, show in each letter that is dispensed on these numerical keys it is " j ", " g ", " m ", " g " of beginning character.
At this, if the user by depress transfer key "
*" conversion of indication Chinese-character phonetic letter, then generate the combining characters string corresponding with " jgmg ".As shown in figure 11, in the combining characters string corresponding with " jgmg ", have only these 2 of " jing ", " ling " as what phonetic was set up, character string in addition goes out of use.Thereby final as input candidate remaining " jing " and " ling ", this input of character string is delivered to dictionary retrieval unit 27 after being replaced into these input candidates, obtains conversion candidate shown in Figure 10.
In the picture of Figure 10, under the situation of selecting conversion candidate " capital ", at first, after having selected input candidate " jing " by the operation of cursor 11c, 11d, select the conversion candidate in " capital " by the operation of cursor 11a, 11b, perhaps, push " 1 " this numerical key corresponding with " capital ".At last, by pushing definite key " # ", determine above-mentioned selecteed conversion candidate " capital ".
Below, describe the processing action of this device in detail.
Figure 12 is the process flow diagram that the processing of the embodiment 1 of this device of displaying is moved.
If input is set at a certain numerical key (steps A 11) of " 1 "～" 9 " on the input block 11, then control module 21 is obtained the letter corresponding with this numerical key (steps A 12) by character generation unit 23, is stored among the input buffer storage 22b of storage unit 22 (steps A 13).In this case, the character of the beginning in a plurality of letters that are dispensed on the numerical key is obtained as input character, and be stored among the input buffer storage 22b.Before the conversion indication is arranged, repeat this and handle, each character sequence of the pressing operation of adjoint number keyboard input is stored among the input buffer storage 22b.
At this, if by push input block 11 "
*" when key produces the conversion indication (Yes of steps A 14), then control module 21 generate be stored in above-mentioned input buffer storage 22b in the combining characters string (steps A 15) of the corresponding letter of input of character string.That is,, from numerical character corresponding tables 24, extract each character that is dispensed on the numerical key identical out, make up these characters and generate a plurality of alphabetic strings with this character for each character that constitutes input of character string.For example, when by " 1 ", " 2 " of numerical key, the operation of " 3 ", under the situation of input " adh " this character string, as shown in figure 11, comprise " adg " and generate as " adg ", " adi " " aeg " ... 27 such combining characters strings.
And then, shown in the example of Fig. 9, when the time with 1 syllabeme input of character string, according to the combining characters string that generates from this input of character string, can the relation of these initial consonants and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable only be contrasted phonetic composition rule table 26 and check, judge correctness as phonetic.But, the situation of the character string of a plurality of syllables of continuous input is also arranged, in this case, while need carry out the phonetic inspection with the interval that following method is searched syllable.
That is, as shown in FIG. 13A, this comprises the character string of a plurality of syllables to suppose to import " adgjgmg ... " continuously.In this case, shown in Figure 13 B, from the beginning character " a " of input of character string " adgjgmg ", Yi Bian generate the combining characters string in proper order with tree-shaped formula, contrast phonetic composition rule table 26 on one side and check, only stay the correct character string of relation of initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable.
And then whole for from the beginning of input of character string to final character if be suitable for this inspection method, then generate the combining characters string of enormous quantity.Thereby, the longest character string (7 characters) of 1 syllable that restriction is made of initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, in its scope, character begins order and generates the combining characters string and check from the outset.Thus, can prevent from the length that can not reach as a syllable is carried out meaningless processing, in addition, also can shorten the processing time.
Figure 13 C is the figure that shows the character string that finally obtains, in above-mentioned input of character string " adgjgmg ... ", judge that the 3rd character is the interval location of syllable, in the combining characters string to the 3rd character, " bei " this character string stays as the input candidate.In addition, as the input candidate of following it, remaining " jing " and " ling ".
Carry out like this phonetic correct errors check after, its result, under the situation of the alphabetic character string of setting up as phonetic (Yes of steps A 17), control module 21 is delivered to this input candidate and is carried out phonetic Chinese character change processing (steps A 18) in the dictionary retrieval unit 27 when being stored in this alphabetic character string among the input candidate memory buffer 22c as the input candidate.That is, this input of character string is replaced into the input candidate that obtains with above-mentioned phonetic inspection, and carries out phonetic Chinese character change and handle.In dictionary retrieval unit 27, retrieval and is delivered to control module 21 with the character string of the above-mentioned input candidate Chinese character as pronunciation from Chinese dictionary 28.Control module 21 as the conversion candidate to this input of character string, is stored in the Chinese character that obtains among the conversion candidate memory buffer 22d from dictionary retrieval unit 27, this conversion candidate is outputed to point out the user (steps A 19) in the display unit 12.
In addition, in above-mentioned steps A17, under the non-existent situation of setting up as phonetic of alphabetic character string, be illustrated in user's input and have mistake.Thereby control module 21 for example shows " input error " this error message, supervises the user to import again, finishes input conversion process (steps A 20) wherein.
Like this, depress when operation under the situation of the key that is assigned a plurality of different alphabetic characters, this input of character string is replaced into as the suitable character string (letter) of phonetic the line translation of going forward side by side handles.Thereby the user does not repeatedly push the operation of this trouble of character of same key input hope, can obtain desirable Chinese character as transformation results simply yet.
In above-mentioned embodiment 1, the character string of not knowing input now is replaced into the line translation of going forward side by side of what kind of phonetic, and the user suspects.Therefore, in embodiment 2, be characterised in that,,, eliminate user's doubt by giving the user this results suggest in the displacement that the input with character string adopts phonetic to check simultaneously.
Below, for concrete example explanation.
Figure 14 A to Figure 14 D shows in the embodiment 2 of this device and change shifting state from the corresponding picture of the processing action that is input to conversion.And then the UB among the figure is a underscore, shows present transforming object scope.In addition, the 31st, the pattern display unit, so-called " A " expression is English input pattern.
Now, suppose the situation of phonetic input " bei " this pronunciation and conversion.
At first, push the numerical key " 1 " that is set on the input block 11.On numerical key " 1 ", be assigned " a ", " b ", " c " these 3 characters." a " as wherein beginning character is used as input character, is presented on the picture shown in Figure 14 A.At this moment, comprise input character " a ",, check and whether set up as phonetic to being dispensed on and being somebody's turn to do " b " on " a " same numerical key " 1 ", " c " separately, wherein the character of setting up as phonetic is as the input candidate, is displayed on the position of regulation of picture.In this case, because " a " sets up as phonetic, so show as the input candidate.
Then, as shown in Figure 14B,, become at input of character string " ad " if push this character of numerical key " 2 " input " d ".In this case, " ad " is false as phonetic, and because its combining characters string " ad, ae, af, bd ... ce, cf " in " ce " set up as phonetic, so " ce " shows as the input candidate.
When can not get importing accordingly under the situation of candidate, this input of character string is as interim input candidate, and for example flip displays or change Show Color show.
Then, shown in Figure 14 C, if input " adg " this character string, then " adg " is false as phonetic, and because " bei " in this combining characters string sets up as phonetic, shows so " bei " is used as the input candidate.Thus, the user can confirm that " adg " is replaced into " bei " this phonetic and is transformed.
Thereby, if push transfer key "
*" the indication phonetic Chinese character change, then from Chinese dictionary 28 retrieval " bei " as Chinese character of pronunciation, shown in Fig. 9 D, show on the assigned position of picture in this conversion candidate that the 1st candidate wherein is replaced into flip displays behind the input of character string.In this example, for " bei ", the Chinese character that can enumerate " north ", " back of the body ", " being equipped with " etc. is as the conversion candidate, and " north " wherein replaces input of character string " adg " flip displays as the 1st candidate.And then the CL among the figure is a cursor.
At this, when the user operates cursor key 11a, 11b, perhaps the operand keyboard is selected desirable conversion candidate and is pushed definite key " # ", then can determine this selecteed conversion candidate.In this example, because it is " 1 " in proper order,, determine this conversion candidate so push definite key " # " or numerical key " 1 " as the conversion candidate " north " of target.When selecting other conversion candidate, numerical key or cursor key 11a, the 11b corresponding with this conversion candidate carries out by operation.And then, if under not definite state, push "
*" key, then when pushing, on the input picture, show each conversion candidate in proper order at every turn, under the state that shows desirable conversion candidate, also can select, determine operation by pushing " # " key.
Below, describe the action of this device in detail.
Figure 15 is the process flow diagram of displaying as the processing action of the embodiment 2 of this device.
Be transfused to (step B11) if be set at the numerical key of one of " 1 "～" 9 " on the importation 11, then control module 21 is obtained the letter corresponding with this numerical key (step B12) by character generation unit 23, and is stored among the input buffer storage 22b of storage unit 22 (step B13).In this case, the character of the beginning in a plurality of letters that are dispensed on the numerical key is obtained as input character, and be stored in input buffer storage 22b.
At this, control module 21 according to the input of character string that is stored among the above-mentioned input buffer storage 22b, generates the combining characters string of letter, and delivers to phonetic and correct errors and check processing unit 25 (step B14).That is,, from numerical character corresponding tables 24, extract each character that is dispensed on the numerical key identical out, make up these characters and generate a plurality of alphabetic strings with this character for each character that constitutes input of character string.
In phonetic is corrected errors inspection processing unit 25,,, check whether set up (step B15) as phonetic with reference to phonetic composition rule table 26 for these alphabetic strings.That is, whether inspection is correct as the relation of predefined initial consonant of phonetic and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable.Then, go out of use, only the character string of setting up as phonetic is selected as the input candidate, and be transmitted back to control module 21 as the invalid character string of phonetic.
In this case, be used in method illustrated in fig. 13, when each input character, from the beginning character of current input character string, on one side order generate the combining characters string with tree-shaped formula, contrast the inspection of phonetic composition rule table 26 on one side and whether set up as phonetic.For example, in the moment of Figure 14 A, because have only " a ", so this combining characters string " a ", " b ", " c " are carried out the phonetic inspection as input of character string.In addition,,, generate " ad ", " ae ", " af ", " bd ", " be ", " bf ", " cd ", " ce ", " cf " these combining characters strings, they are carried out the phonetic inspection according to input of character string " ad " in the moment of Figure 14 B.And then as mentioned above, when generating the combining characters string, restriction is with the longest character string (7 characters) of 1 syllable of initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable formation.
Carry out the result that phonetic is corrected errors and checked like this, under the situation that the alphabetic string of setting up as phonetic exists (Yes of step B16), control module 21 is stored in this alphabetic string among the input candidate memory buffer 22c as the input candidate, and simultaneously this input candidate and this input of character string being mapped outputs to display unit 12 and point out users (step B17).
In addition, under the situation of the alphabetic string of not setting up (No of step B16) as phonetic, control module 21 as the input candidate, for example by changing specific demonstration forms such as flip displays and Show Color, outputs to this input of character string to point out user (step B21) on the display unit 12.
Processing before conversion indication is arranged more than repeatedly.Then, when by push input block 11 "
*" when key has the conversion indication (Yes of step B18), control module 21 is delivered to dictionary retrieval unit 27 to the input candidate that is stored among the above-mentioned input candidate memory buffer 22c, carry out phonetic Chinese character change and handle (step B19).That is, this input of character string is replaced into the input candidate that obtains in above-mentioned phonetic inspection, and carries out phonetic Chinese character change and handle.In dictionary retrieval unit 27, be the character string that obtains with above-mentioned input candidate the Chinese character of pronunciation, from Chinese dictionary 28, retrieve, and deliver to control module 21.Control module 21 is stored in the Chinese character that obtains among the conversion candidate memory buffer 22d as the conversion candidate for this input of character string from dictionary retrieval unit 27, this conversion candidate is outputed to display unit 12 prompting users (step B20).
And then, when the conversion indication is arranged in above-mentioned steps B18, if candidate is not imported in storage in above-mentioned input candidate memory buffer 22c, then there is not alphabetic string as the phonetic establishment, in this case, control module 21 for example shows goes into " input error " such error message, can urge the user to import again.But, in embodiment 2 because in when input because the prompting input candidate corresponding all the time with this input of character string, thereby the user can indicate in the laggard line translation of content of confirming the input candidate, so do not need this wrong display process especially.
When pushing the key input of character string that is assigned a plurality of different letters, because this input of character string is replaced into suitable character string (letter) line translation of going forward side by side and handles, so the user does not repeatedly push the operation of this trouble of character string of same key input hope, just can obtain desirable Chinese character as transformation results simply.
In addition, in embodiment 2,,, desirable Chinese character is obtained as transformation results so when the phonetic of hope occurs as the input candidate, can carry out the conversion indication because when input, just know which type of phonetic is the character string of input be replaced into before this.
And then, in above-mentioned each embodiment, suppose that the situation that is used in the middle dial key input alphabets that use such as mobile phone is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example ten keys are too.So long as use is assigned the mode that the key of a plurality of letters carries out input operation, can be suitable for.
In addition, explanation is to be defined in the Chinese input in above-mentioned each embodiment, but method of the present invention also goes for Japanese.
Promptly, when being set at going up separately of each key on the input equipment, be assigned hiragana character or the hiragana character of the hiragana character of " あ is capable " or katakana character, " か is capable " ... under the situation of like that a plurality of different characters, from the character string of importing by the operation of these keys, generate the combining characters string of forming by each character that is dispensed on the correspondent button.In this combining characters string,,, select suitable character string according to assumed name Chinese character dictionary for example and the table that has defined the rule relevant etc. with the Chinese-character pronunciation of Japanese as the pronunciation of Chinese character.When conversion indication (pushing of Kana-Chinese character conversion key) is arranged,, corresponding Chinese character is exported as transformation results according to above-mentioned input candidate retrieval Kana-Chinese character conversion dictionary.
If adopt this formation,,, just can obtain transformation results so do not carry out unnecessary Chinese character conversion process because before conversion, dwindled the scope of correct input of character string.In addition, shown in above-mentioned embodiment 2, also can make the corresponding output of input candidate that obtains this moment along with the input operation of character string with this input of character string.
And then, in the method described in each above-mentioned embodiment, as the program that computing machine is carried out, for example can write disk (floppy disk, hard disk etc.), the recording medium of CD (CD-ROM, DVD etc.), semiconductor memory etc., be applicable to various devices, also can transmit the transmission medium of this program, be applicable to various devices by the Internet etc.Realize computing machine of the present invention, program that is recorded in the recording medium or the program that provides via transmission medium are provided,, carry out above-mentioned processing by this programmed control action.
If the present invention who is described in detail more than adopting, the input equipment that then possesses the key that is assigned a plurality of different letters in use, carry out under the situation of phonetic input of Chinese, even the user does not repeatedly push the operation that this trouble of the character that obtains is wished in the input of same key, and each character is only pushed 1 time, carry out the phonetic input, also can obtain desirable Chinese character as transformation results simply.
