DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion system and a single-kanji conversion system used in a Japanese word processor and a Japanese processing unit of a computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a system handling Japanese kanji, a unique code is assigned to each kanji glyph.
By referencing that code, you can view, document,
Printing etc. were performed. Further, with the spread of digital computers, data exchange between different models has been performed. Further, as the above-mentioned code, a JIS code kanji table based on a code system commonly called a JIS code has been widely used. This JIS code kanji table has been negotiated based on social wisdom in the era, and has been revised several times to date. But,
The glyphs in the JIS code kanji table differed from those in the Kanji dictionary, and there were no glyphs used in personal names. In such a case, the user allocates a code in the JIS code table to create a so-called external character and uses a necessary character shape.

[0003]

However, in the conventional system for handling Japanese kanji as described above, there is no particular rule on how to assign codes for the external character area, and the Japanese kanji system manufacturer has no discretion. Therefore, there is a problem that printing is not performed unless a character shape is defined in a code in an output device such as a printer. In order to solve this problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a kana-kanji conversion device and a single-kanji conversion device having means for previously displaying characters on a display device such as a CRT by replacing the characters with printable characters on an output device. .

[0004]

In order to achieve this object, a kana-kanji conversion device and a single-kanji conversion device according to the present invention are provided.
(A) search means for searching a dictionary for a group of conversion candidates whose pronunciation matches the input kana character string; (b) search means for searching the dictionary for a group of conversion candidates corresponding to the radical or stroke count of kanji; (C) character shape data storage means for storing kanji character shape data, and kana data storage means for storing kanji kana data; A kana-kanji conversion / single-kanji conversion device including a display unit for displaying character shape data or kana data for outputting characters based on the result of the search unit. The Kana-Kanji conversion and Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary with a flag indicating whether the Kana-Kanji conversion and Kana-Kanji conversion are different. When there is a character, an inquiry means for inquiring whether or not the character data exists in the character data storage means, and (a) the character data of the variant character is present in the character data storage means by the inquiry means. If it is confirmed, the character shape extracting means for extracting the character, the character shape data of the character having the variant character in the result of the kana-kanji conversion and the single kanji conversion, and the character shape of the variant character extracted by the character shape extracting device (B) when it is confirmed that the character data of the variant does not exist in the character data storage means;
Kana extraction means for extracting kana data from the kana data storage means, character shape data of a character having a variant character in the kana kanji conversion and single kanji conversion results, and the kana of the kanji extracted by the kana extraction means A variant character replacement means for replacing data is provided.

[0005]

In the kana-kanji conversion and single-kanji conversion apparatus of the present invention having the above structure, the search means searches the kana-kanji character string "takagi" for a conversion candidate whose reading matches that of FIG.
When the character string shown in FIG. 4 is to be determined, if the character shown in FIG. 5 in the character string shown in FIG. Is inquired as to whether or not it has the character data of the variant of the character shown in FIG. 5, and if the existence of the character data of the variant of the character shown in FIG. 5 is confirmed, it is extracted by the character shape extracting means, and the variant character is extracted. An instruction to output “Takagi” by replacing the character shown in FIG. 5 in the character string shown in FIG. 4 by the replacing means is issued.

Further, in order to display the characters shown in FIG. 7 in the kana-kanji conversion and single kanji conversion apparatus of the present invention having the above-described configuration, a conversion candidate is searched from the radical "sanzui" by a search means, and the characters are searched. When trying to finalize,
If the character shown in FIG. 7 has information indicating that there is a variant character, the query means inquires whether the character shape data storage means used together with the single kanji conversion has the character shape data of the character variant shown in FIG. When it is confirmed that the character data of the variant of the character shown in FIG. 7 does not exist, the kana of the character shown in FIG. 7 is extracted by the kana extracting means, and the character shown in FIG. Give instructions to replace and output.

And an input / output interface (I / O) 34 for data exchange between the input device 10, the display device 20, the auxiliary storage device 40, and the CPU 31, and a bus line 35.

The input device 10, the display device 20, and the auxiliary storage device 40 are connected to the control device 30 via (I / O) 34. Also, the ROM 32 and the RAM 3 in the control device 30
3 and (I / O) 34 are connected by a bus line 35 to a CPU 31 that controls the entire program. R
In the OM 32, a dictionary 32a to which a variant character reference flag and a kana reference flag are added, and character shape data 32b,
And pseudonym data 32c are stored. RAM33
Inside there is a processing result storage area 33a.

FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the dictionary 32a and the variant character reference flag. The composition is "reading" used to refer to the input character string during kana-kanji conversion, "radical" used to refer to the radical name when converting to single kanji by radical, and The "number of strokes" used to refer to the number of strokes during kanji conversion, the "handwriting" used to refer to input handwritten characters when converting to kanji with a matching character pattern, and output candidates for these conversions <Notation> and <notation> indicate that there is a possibility that a variant character exists for each character.
There is.

Next, kana-kanji conversion and single-kanji conversion using the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. FIG.

First, "takagi" is input (S0
1), it is converted into the character shown in FIG. 4 (S02). Since this character has a variant character reference flag (S03; Y), the inquiry means inquires whether the variant data of the character shown in FIG. 5 exists in the character data (S04). If there is a variant character in the character data (S05; Y), the character shape extracting means extracts the variant character "high" of the character shown in FIG. 5 and the character shown in FIG. To (S0
8) "Takagi" is displayed (S10). If there is no character having the variant character reference flag in the kana-kanji conversion result (S03; N), the character string shown in FIG. 4 is displayed as it is.

In addition, in order to obtain the character string shown in FIG. 6, a search is performed from the radical "sanzui" of the character shown in FIG. 7 in the character string shown in FIG. 6 (S01), and the character string shown in FIG. Conversion is performed (S02). Since this character has a variant character reference flag (S03; Y), the inquiry means inquires whether the variant data of the character shown in FIG. 7 exists in the character data (S04). Since there is no variant character in the glyph data (S
05; N), the kana extraction means extracts the kana “ai” of the character shown in FIG. 7 and replaces the character shown in FIG. 7 in the character string shown in FIG. 6 with the kana “ai” (S09), The character string "Aikawa" is displayed (S10).
