DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing terminal which can be incorporated in an information processing device such as a personal computer, a workstation or a word processor, and a portable character display device such as an electronic book, and a pseudonym usable in the document processing device. It is related to processing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In Japanese, sentences are read and written mainly using kanji and kana, but many kanji have a plurality of reading styles for each. In textbooks used for learning Japanese, such as textbooks, "kana kana" is given to help reading aloud kanji that seems to be difficult for the reader level. If it is a textbook for educational institutions like this or a pseudonym assigned to a magazine whose generation can be identified, it is possible to give a pseudonym according to the age group of the reader, but it will be read across a wide range of generations Books, such as newspapers, novels, pictorial books, and dictionaries that are finely shaken in dictionaries, are too small for low-grade children, etc., and are difficult to read.
In addition, an adult who has the ability to read kanji has a problem that the original sentence becomes difficult to read and becomes complicated.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-36573 discloses an easy-to-read document with a pseudonym corresponding to the level of a reader who is supposed to read the document while reducing the input operation of the pseudonym performed simultaneously with the creation of the document. Is disclosed. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the conventional character processing device.

In FIG. 4, an input device 40 is for inputting characters, and is assumed to be a keyboard or a mouse. The converter 41 converts the kana input by the input device 40 into kanji, and outputs the kanji together with the degree of difficulty of the kanji. The converter 41 has various kana, a plurality of or a single kanji corresponding to the kana, and a kana-kanji correspondence table in which the degree of difficulty for each kanji is stored. The difficulty level selector 42 selects a difficulty level threshold value for determining whether or not to assign a kana to a kanji. Based on the output of the difficulty level selector 42, the determiner 43 determines whether or not to assign a kana to the kanji output by the converter 41 and performs processing. The selector 44 has a kanji-shurikana correspondence table in which the kanji is associated with the kanji, and selects an arbitrary kanji from a plurality of kanji for the kanji output by the determiner 43. The display 45 outputs characters with a pseudonym based on the output of the selector 43, and is assumed to be output to a CRT display device or the like.

The operation of the conventional character processing device having the above-described configuration will be described below. Kana characters are input from the input device 40. When a conversion command is given from the input device 40, the converter 41 searches whether or not the kana character input by the input device exists in the kana-kanji correspondence table. If it exists, it is converted to the corresponding kanji and the difficulty of the kanji is output together. The judging device 43 compares the output difficulty level of the kanji with the difficulty level selected by the difficulty level selector, and processes the kanji having a higher difficulty level than the selected difficulty level so as to assign a pseudonym. The selector 44 searches for a hiragana corresponding to the kanji determined to have a hiragana in the kanji-shrigana correspondence table. An operator selects a pseudonym from a plurality of pseudonym candidates in the search result. A kana input by the input device 40, a kanji converted by the converter 41, information on whether to add the kana determined by the determiner 43, and a selector 4
The kana corresponding to the kanji selected in 4 is input to the display 45. On the display unit 45, the kana which has not been converted into the kanji by the converter 41 is displayed as it is, the kanji which is determined not to be added with the kana by the judging unit 43 is displayed without shaking the kana, The kanji determined to be added is displayed together with the kana selected by the selector 44.

[0006]

However, the character processing apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-36573 assumes that a kanji is assigned to a kana character input by a creator of a document and that a kana is assigned. Any document, such as an existing document such as a magazine or a book, a file on the Internet, or a digitized document that has already been input such as an electronic book, requires a means such as re-entry. There was a problem that it was difficult to use.

Further, although the conventional character processing apparatus assumes a document information file with attributes as an output, it selects a pseudonym by a selector 44 and outputs it by a determiner 43 before outputting it as a file on a display 45. It is determined whether or not to give a pseudonym. In other words, you will get a file of difficulty that does not necessarily reflect your intentions, and you will not be able to use this file to display documents with pseudonyms reflecting your intentions. There was a problem that it could not be done.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an arbitrary sentence containing kana-kanji characters.
By providing the reader with information on the degree of difficulty of kanji, the reader can use the attribute information to specify the degree of difficulty at the reader's will and in real time, and can choose the desired degree of difficulty for the reader. It is an object to obtain a terminal displaying a document marked with a letter and the document.

[0009]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides an input terminal for inputting kana-kanji mixed sentence, information on syllabic kana for kanji, and kanji difficulty information, and a display information difficulty level. Selects a difficulty level selector and an input terminal to refer to the information on the kana character and reads the information on the difficulty level of the kana-kanji mixed sentence and kanji characters, while responding to the difficulty level of the display information selected by the difficulty level selector. This is a document processing terminal comprising a shaper for assigning a kana to a kanji to be processed and a display for displaying the output of the shaper.

Further, the present invention provides an analyzer for analyzing an input kana-kanji mixed sentence, separating a kanji and a kana, and outputting information on a kanji for the kanji together with a kana-kana character. A document conversion unit including a difficulty level adder for adding information on a difficulty level, a storage unit including a storage unit for storing the output of the difficulty level adder, and a document processing unit including a document processing terminal unit by the document processing terminal With the above configuration, it is possible to specify the difficulty level in real time by the reader's intention and display a document with a pseudonym of any desired difficulty level.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the document processing apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1A is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a document processing terminal according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a sentence containing kana-kanji characters,
This is an input terminal for inputting information on the degree of difficulty of kanji and information on the syllabary of kanji. In the present embodiment, the input is made from a semiconductor memory storing data prepared in advance. Reference numeral 11 denotes a difficulty level selector for selecting the difficulty level of the display information, which is configured using a dial for selecting the difficulty level and a button for selecting the display mode. Reference numeral 12 denotes a shaper that assigns a kana to a kanji to be processed based on the information input from the input terminal 10 in accordance with the difficulty of the display information selected by the difficulty selector 11. Reference numeral 13 denotes a display which receives a shaper as an input and is constituted by a display such as a CRT or an LCD.

FIG. 1B is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the document processing apparatus of the present invention.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an analyzer which analyzes an input sentence containing kana-kanji characters, separates kanji and kana characters, and outputs information on furigana for kanji characters. It has dictionaries necessary for syntax analysis, including a dictionary of kana and kanji. Reference numeral 15 denotes a difficulty level adder for adding information on the degree of difficulty of kanji to the output of the analyzer 14, which is composed of a correspondence table of kanji characters and their readings and difficulty levels. Hereinafter, the block 101 including the analyzer 14 and the difficulty level adder 15 is referred to as a document conversion unit.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a storage for storing the output of the difficulty level adder 15. Hereinafter, the 102 block constituted by the storage unit 16 is referred to as a storage unit.

Block 103 is the document processing terminal 100
Is a document processing terminal unit. While referring to the information on the kana and kana characters stored in the storage 16 and reading the information on the kana / kanji mixed sentence and the difficulty of the kanji, it corresponds to the difficulty of the display information selected by the difficulty selector in the document processing terminal. Then, the required kana for the kanji is assigned and output on the display.

FIG. 2 is a data structure diagram showing the structure of character string data to which the kana and difficulty information used in the embodiment of the present invention are added, and a diagram showing the data structure. This data structure starts with “start symbol”, and for kanji data, data is configured in the order of “kanji”, “separator”, “difficulty”, “shurigana”, “separator”. . In the present embodiment, “○” is used as a “start symbol” and “Δ” is used as a “separator symbol”. When there is a difficulty as a idiom, it is distinguished by using “◎” as a “separator”. In the example of the data string "the signature has been found" in this example, the difficulty level is "1" for the "hand" and the "mouth", the pseudonym "te" and the difficulty level "1", and the pseudonym "guchi". Is given. Also, the difficulty level “4” is assigned to the idiom “trick”. Similarly, the difficulty level “5”, the pseudonym “Han”, the difficulty level “2”, and the pseudonym “Mei” are given to “size” and “akira”, respectively. In the present embodiment, as the information on the degree of difficulty of a kanji, a numerical value corresponding to a school year at which the kanji is considered to be learned at school is basically used.
Since there are multiple readings among kanji and kanji that do not learn the reading unless the grade progresses, for example, there are cases where you read "shu" instead of "te" like "means" using "hand", Kanji reading is linked to difficulty. As for idioms, the higher difficulty of each kanji is defined as the difficulty of idioms. For example, "Kan-Han" is a 5th grade elementary school, and "Mei-Mei" is a 2nd grade elementary school student. To display a kana character on a single kanji character, the difficulty level is 5 and 2 respectively. When displaying the pseudonym, "Know-Hammei" has difficulty level 5. "Trick-Teguchi"
Has a difficulty of 1 as a single kanji, but is relatively difficult as a vocabulary, and is assigned a difficulty of 4 as a idiom.
Those with special readings such as "today-today" and "May rain-seaweed" are assigned the difficulty as idioms.
The same applies to the information output from the difficulty level adder 15.

Next, the document processing terminal of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

The data shown in FIG. 3A is input from the input terminal 10. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the data includes kana-kanji-mixed sentences, furigana information corresponding to the kanji, the difficulty for each single kanji, and information on the difficulty as idioms if necessary. .

The difficulty level selector 11 selects the difficulty level of the displayed information, that is, selects the level of difficulty or higher for each single kanji character to which the kana is assigned. The difficulty of the display information is selected by turning the dial, and the selected value is output to the shaper 12. When the dial is turned, the difficulty level is output to the display 12. The difficulty can be changed arbitrarily.If the reader, that is, the user of the terminal, thinks that the preset difficulty is high for himself, it is low, and if the number of pseudonyms is too large and it is cumbersome, Used to set higher. The button has a function of changing the display mode. When the key is pressed once, an output is made to the display so as to display a phrase for which the degree of difficulty as the idiom is set is determined to give priority to the degree of difficulty. Furthermore, if you press the button, even if the difficulty as a idiom is not set, it will be calculated from the difficulty level for each single kanji and the kana as a idiom will be displayed, and if you press it again, the kana will be displayed as the kanji alone as the original Display 12
Is output.

The formatter 12 reads the kana-kanji mixed sentence and the information on the degree of difficulty of the kanji from the input terminal 10 and outputs the kana-kanji mixed sentence, and outputs the difficulty information of the kanji contained in the kana-kanji mixed sentence. If the display information selected by the degree selector 11 is higher than the difficulty, the information on the pseudonym is referred to and the information on the pseudonym is output together.

The display 13 displays a sentence mixed with kana and kanji, which is the output of the formatter 12. For the kanji to which the hiragana has been assigned, the hiragana character is displayed above or beside it.

Next, a document processing apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The analyzer 14 of the document conversion unit 101 is an analyzer that analyzes an input sentence mixed with kana-kanji, separates kanji and kana, and outputs information on furigana for kanji. She has analyzed syntax and obtained accurate readings for kanji.

The difficulty level adder 15 retrieves a kanji-difficulty correspondence table for the kanji in the kana-kanji mixed sentence output from the analyzer 14, and outputs information on the kanji difficulty level. That is, the difficulty level adder 15 outputs a sentence containing kana and kanji characters, information on the hiragana, and a numerical value indicating the degree of difficulty of the kanji. In the present embodiment, when a sentence containing kana kanji is input to the analyzer as “the signature has been found”, FIG.
The data shown in FIG.

The storage unit 102 temporarily stores the output of the document conversion unit 101 and passes it to the document processing terminal unit 103. The accumulator 16 specifically accumulates the kana-kanji mixed sentence, the information on the kana-kana, and the numerical value representing the degree of difficulty of the kanji output from the difficulty level adder 15 and outputs them to the document processing terminal unit 103. .

The document processing terminal unit 103 is actually constituted by a document processing terminal. The kana-kanji mixed sentence and the information on the degree of difficulty of the kanji that are stored in the storage unit 102, specifically, the storage unit 16, are read, and the kana-kanji mixed sentence is output while the kana-kanji mixed sentence is output. If the information is higher than the difficulty of the display information selected by the difficulty selector, the information on the pseudonym is referred to and the information on the pseudonym is output together.

As described above, the analyzer 14 analyzes the input kana-kanji mixed sentence and outputs the information of the kana.
Then, the difficulty adding device 15 for adding the information on the degree of difficulty of the kanji performs a document conversion for automatically adding the information on the difficulty of the kana and the kanji to the input document. In addition, by using the word processing terminal, the difficulty level selector 11 is used together with the shaping device 12 for assigning a kana to a kanji, so that the reader can arbitrarily change the difficulty of the kanji to which the kana is added.

Since the storage unit 102 is detachable, the storage unit 102 has a plurality of storage units, and is displayed by using the document processing terminal unit 103 when necessary, specifically, by connecting the storage unit 16 and the document processing terminal 100. It is also possible. In addition to storing the storage 16 with storage media such as a floppy disk, MO, and IC card, general cables, an information network such as a communication line, a printing machine and a reader, etc.
As long as the information can be transmitted between the document conversion unit 101 and the document processing terminal unit 103, the replacement can be performed, and any medium can be used.

Further, the difficulty level selector 11 is configured using a dial and a button.
In a personal computer or the like, an input device having a similar selection function such as a keyboard, a cursor, and a mouse can be used. Further, although the display 13 is constituted by a display, a printing device or the like may be used. Alternatively, the information may be stored in a storage device as a file to which attribute information is added, and may be displayed later.

In addition, the kana that has been output as a small character above or beside the kanji is replaced with the kanji, that is, replaced with the position of the kanji, and the output is performed as in “the trick is clear”. It is also possible. For readers with low kanji reading ability, it becomes possible to reduce the number of esoteric kanji, or to output a kana-only document without outputting any kanji. It is apparent that this can be realized by providing, as a function of the difficulty level selector, a selection means for performing display in small characters on or beside the kanji or performing replacement display.

Also, the dictionary in the analyzer 14 and the correspondence table of kanji and difficulty in the difficulty level adder 15 are handled separately, but these can be combined into one. 14 and the difficulty level adder 15 can be realized by one configuration. By setting the degree of difficulty for each word in the dictionary, a difficulty value that is more appropriate than the degree of difficulty calculated from the kanji can be assigned to the kanji.

Further, the data configuration shown in FIG. 2 is an example, and the data configuration flowing through the present terminal and the present apparatus can be optimized by many known methods. it is obvious.

Further, a part or the whole of the configuration may be realized by software.

[0036]

According to the present invention, a sentence containing kana-kanji characters is converted to a document conversion unit 1
01 is stored in the storage unit 102. The storage unit 102 and the document processing terminal unit 103 have the same configuration.
6 and the document processing terminal 100, a difficulty level selector 11
According to the degree of difficulty selected in step (1), the kana / kanji mixed sentence and the appropriate kana can be generated while reading the kana / kanji mixed sentence and the information on the degree of difficulty of the kanji from the storage 16.

Anyone, including those with low kanji reading ability, can easily create a kana with a pseudonym and can handle any document, so that the operator does not need high kanji reading ability.

By using the terminal and the device, even a child or a foreigner who does not fully understand kanji can utilize character information that already exists. This is a very useful effect, for example, it can be a sentence with kana and a kana sentence.
