Hereinafter, the control processing by the address notation division unit 12 will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, in step 41 of FIG. 4, the source address book 1000 as illustrated in FIG. 10 is called based on the source address book file name 301. From the address notation of a plurality of hierarchies stored in the conversion source address book 1000 as a series of character strings (in this embodiment, “3-2-1 Ichikawa Ichikawa-shi Ichikawa” stored in the home address field), The divided character positions such as the hierarchical division expression words “capital, road, prefecture, prefecture, city, ward, and county” are acquired and set in the affix position table 500 as shown in FIG.

In this division character position acquisition, first, the hierarchical notation words "Tokyo, Hokkaido, prefecture, prefecture" are obtained from the address notation "3-2-1, Ichikawa-shi, Ichikawa-shi, Chiba" of the home address in the source address book 1000.
Is determined. In this embodiment, since "prefecture" is present in the third character of the address notation,
“3” is set to the first in the prefecture location storage column 504. Next, from this address notation, the hierarchical division expression words "city, county, island"
Is determined. In this embodiment, since “city” is located at the fourth, sixth, and seventh characters of the address notation, “4, 6, 7” is assigned to the first to third in the city location storage field 505, respectively. set. Similarly, the divided character positions corresponding to the hierarchical division expression words “ward, town, village” are determined from the address notation, and the corresponding divided character positions are set in the corresponding affix position storage columns 508 to 510.

Also, the maximum value of the number of divisions ("3" of "city" in this embodiment) is set in a division pattern number table (not shown) for storing the number of divisions of the address notation candidate group on the RAM 6, and the following is set. Move to step 42.

In this step 42, based on the affix position table 500 and the address notation of the home address before splitting, a divided address notation candidate group divided into layers is created.

Hereinafter, details of the control processing in step 42 will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step 421, it is determined whether or not a divided character position to be divided is set in the city location storage column 501, the road location storage column 502, the prefecture location storage column 503, or the prefecture location storage column 504.

If the divided character position is set in any of the position storage columns 501 to 504, the process proceeds to step 422. If not, the process proceeds to step 423. In this embodiment, since “3” is set in the prefecture location storage column 504, step 422 is executed.

In this step 422, the divisional address notation "Chiba prefecture" from the head of the address notation of the home address to the divisional character position set in the prefecture position storage field 504 is cut out, as shown in FIG. “Chiba” is set as a division address notation candidate in the prefecture storage column of the first pattern 601 of the search pattern table 600.

In the following step 423, it is determined whether or not the divided character position is set in each of the city position storage column 505, the county position storage column 506, or the island position storage column 507. Position storage columns 505-507
If the divided character position is set in any of the above, the process proceeds to step 424, and if not, the process proceeds to step 425.
Move to In this embodiment, “4,
Since step "6, 7" is set, step 424 is executed.

In step 424, the first divided character position "4" set in the city position storage field 505 from the divided character position excluding the prefecture name in the address description of the home address.
The divided address notation “city” is cut out, and “city” is set as a divided address notation candidate in the city / county / island storage column of the first pattern 601 of the search pattern table 600.

Next, in step 425, it is determined whether or not a divided character position is set in each of the ward position storage column 508, the town position storage column 509, and the village position storage column 510. Then, the position storage columns 508 to 51
If the divided character position is set to any of 0, the process proceeds to step 426;
Move to 7. In this embodiment, the position storage columns 508 to 510
No split character position is set in any of the above.

At step 426, from the divided character position excluding the name of the prefecture and the name of the city, county and island in the address notation of the home address to the divided character position set in any of the position storage columns 508 to 510. Is extracted and set as a divided address notation candidate in the ward / town / village storage column of the first pattern 601 of the search pattern table 600.

In the following step 427, it is determined whether or not there is a character string (partial address notation of the lowest hierarchy) excluding the upper-level division address notation candidates of the prefecture, city, county island, and municipalities in the address notation of the home address. Determine whether The process moves to step 428 if there is a divisional address notation at the lowest level, and moves to step 429 if there is no such address. In this embodiment, since there is "3-2-1 Ichikawa Kawaichi" as the division address notation of the lowest hierarchy, step 428 is executed.

In step 428, the lowermost hierarchical division address notation "3-2-1 Ichikawa Kawaichi" is retrieved from the search pattern table 6.
00 is set in the lowest-order notation storage column of the first pattern 601 as a division address notation candidate.

In the following step 429, it is determined whether or not the processing for the number of divided patterns has been performed. If the processing has not been completed, the flow returns to step 421 to return to the next divided address notation candidate group (second pattern 602 and third pattern 603). To create
When the processing is completed, the process returns to the program control unit 10.

By performing the above processing, three types of divided address notation candidate groups can be created from the address notation of the home address in this embodiment as shown in patterns 601 to 603 of the search pattern table 600.

Next, the program control unit 10 activates the address notation search unit 13. With reference to FIG. 7, a description will be given of a control process in the address notation search unit 13 for selecting a correctly divided address notation from a group of divided address notation candidates divided by the address notation division unit 12 into address notations of each layer. .

First, in step 701, the RAM 6
"0" is set as an initial value in a search counter of a variable indicating the number of times of processing stored above, and the search counter is incremented by "+1" in the following step 702.

In step 703, the number of division patterns ("3" in this embodiment) is compared with the search counter. If the number of division patterns is equal to or greater than the search counter, the flow advances to step 704; And returns to the program control unit 10.

In the following step 704, first, it is determined whether or not a divided address notation candidate is set in the ward / town / village storage column of the first pattern 601 of the search pattern table 600. If the divided address notation candidate has been set, the process proceeds to step 705; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 707.
Move to In this embodiment, the search pattern table 600
Since the division address notation candidate is not set in the ward / town / village storage column of the first pattern 601, the process proceeds to step 707.

In step 705, the ward / town / village data group 804 of the address dictionary 16 (see FIG. 8) is searched based on the divided address notation candidates set in the ward / town / village storage column of the first pattern 601 of the search pattern table 600. It is determined whether or not this divided address notation candidate is registered in the address dictionary 16. If the division address notation corresponding to the municipalities data group 804 is registered, the process proceeds to step 706,
If not registered, the process proceeds to step 707.

At step 706, the municipal data group 80
4 is set in the ward / town / village storage column 903 of the address table 900 (see FIG. 9) on the RAM 6 and the divided address of the city, county or island to which the matching address belongs is set. It is obtained from the county / island data group 803 and set in the city / county / island storage column 902 of the address table 900. Similarly, the divided address notation of the prefecture to which the city, county or island belongs is obtained from the prefecture data group 802 and the address table is obtained. Set in 900 prefecture storage column 901 and step 7
Move to 10.

In step 707, it is determined whether or not a divided address notation candidate is set in the city / county / island storage column of the first pattern 601 of the search pattern table 600. If the divided address notation candidate has been set, the process proceeds to step 708; otherwise, the process returns to step 702. In this embodiment, the first pattern 6 in the search pattern table 600
Since the divided address notation candidate "city" is set in the 01 city / county / island storage column, the process proceeds to step 708.

In step 708, the address dictionary 1 is set based on the divided address notation candidate "city" set in the city / county / island storage column of the first pattern 601 of the search pattern table 600.
A search is made for the city, county, and island data group 803 to determine whether the corresponding city, county, or island is registered. Then, if the divided address notation corresponding to the municipal island data group 803 is registered, the process proceeds to step 709, and if not, the process returns to step 702. In this embodiment, since the divided address notation candidate "city" set in the city / county / island storage column of the first pattern 601 of the search pattern table 600 is not registered in the address dictionary 16, the process returns to step 702 and returns to step 702. The process is performed on the divided address notation candidate group of the two patterns 602.

At step 709, the city / gun / island data group 80
The address table 90 stores the divided address notation of the city, city, and island where the number 3 matches.
0 is set in the city / county / island storage column 90, and the divided address notation of the prefecture to which the matching address belongs is stored in the prefectural data group 80.
2 and stored in the address table 900
Set to 01.

In the final step 710, the lowest address division candidate notation stored in the lowest notation storage column of the search pattern table 600 is stored in the lowest notation storage column 904 of the address table 900 as the lowest layer division address notation. After the setting, the process is terminated and the process returns to the program control unit 10.

By executing the processing steps of FIG. 7 described above, the divided address notation candidate "Ichikawa" set in the city / county / island storage column of the second pattern 602 of the search pattern table 600 exemplified in this embodiment. Since "city" is registered in the address dictionary 16, "Chiba Prefecture" is set in the prefecture storage column 901 of the address table 900, "Ichikawa City" is set in the city / country island storage column 902 of the address table 900, and the lowermost notation is set. By setting “Ichikawa 3-2-1” in the storage column 904, a correctly divided divided address notation group can be obtained.

Next, the program control unit 10 activates the address book item setting unit 15. This address book item set part 1
Reference numeral 5 denotes a destination address book 110 shown in FIG. 11 in which the items of the conversion source address book 1000 shown in FIG. 10 and the divided address notation groups of each layer stored in the address table 900 shown in FIG.
The conversion of the address book data is completed by setting to each item of 0 and outputting with the file name designated by the conversion destination address book file name 302 on the file designation screen 300 shown in FIG.

Further, by the processing steps shown in FIG.
For example, even if the address notation is not retained by omitting the divided address notation of the prefecture, such as “3-2-1 Ichikawa, Ichikawa”, “Chiba” is obtained from the address dictionary 16 based on “Ichikawa”.
Can be acquired, so that the destination address book 1100 can store the divided address notations of all layers.

It is to be noted that the same processing is performed on the work address notation (not shown) held in the conversion source address book 1000, so that a correctly divided address notation can be output.

Further, for an address in which a plurality of upper-level divided address notations exist for the corresponding address, for example, “Chuo-ku”, the upper-level of the divided address notation corresponding to the display device 3 is displayed. By configuring so as to display / select each of the divided address notation candidates, it is possible to select and set a correct divided address notation even when there are a plurality of upper layer divided address notations.

Furthermore, if there is no divided address notation in the address dictionary 16 that matches the divided address notation candidate, it is conceivable that this divided address notation candidate is an erroneous entry (erroneous input). By acquiring a similar registered address notation registered and displaying / selecting it on the display device 3, it is possible to cope with an address notation erroneously input in the conversion source address book. .
