TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an output control device, and is particularly suitable for application to a hypermedia system that handles words, texts, images, sounds, and the like in association with each other.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a conventional bilingual translation screen of machine translation, when a screen of an original text has a link structure, there is a technique for embedding this link structure as it is at an appropriate position on a screen of a translated text and displaying the link structure. For example, when a hyperlink exists in the original sentence, the hyperlink is embedded and displayed at an appropriate position in the translated sentence.
[0003]
On such a bilingual screen, it is possible to follow the hyperlink of the translated sentence by performing the same operation as the hyperlink of the original sentence.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional bilingual screen of machine translation, the document referred to by the hyperlink embedded in the original text is written in the language of the original text. For this reason, if the same hyperlink as the original text is simply embedded in the translation, the reference destination of the hyperlink of the translation remains the document written in the language of the original text. As a result, even if the hyperlink of the translated sentence is followed, the document written in the original sentence is displayed on the translated sentence display screen.
[0005]
In such a case, documents described in different languages may be displayed on the same screen instead of each other, which may cause confusion for the user.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an output control device capable of displaying original information and related information in the same data type.

[0007]
As a result, even when the hyperlink of the original text is embedded in the translated text as it is, and the document referred to by the hyperlink embedded in the original text is described in the original language, even if the hyperlink is referenced from the translated text, The document referred to by the hyperlink can be converted into the language of the translated sentence and displayed. As a result, on the screen where the original text is displayed, the referenced document can be displayed in the original language, and on the screen where the translated text is displayed, the referenced document can be displayed in the translated language. It is possible to display the document, and it is possible to prevent a document described in a different language from being alternately displayed on the same screen.
[0008]
In addition, the output order of the document data is controlled based on the processing time of the acquired document data.
As a result, it is possible to avoid delaying the output of the document data acquired in a short time due to the document data requiring a long time to acquire, and it is possible to efficiently output the document data.
[0009]
Further, according to one aspect of the present invention, when it takes time to acquire the entire document data, the conversion process is started for a part of the acquired document data. As a result, the acquisition of the document data and the conversion processing of the document data can be performed in parallel, and there is no need to wait for the conversion processing of the document data until the entire document data is acquired. The conversion result can be output quickly.
[0010]
Further, according to one aspect of the present invention, when a hyperlink of hyperdocument data is hidden under another screen, the display position of the hyperdocument data is controlled so that the hyperlink is visible. .
[0011]
As a result, even when the screens of the hyper document data are displayed in an overlapping manner, it is possible to easily follow the document data of the reference destination. Further, according to an aspect of the present invention, when the conversion of the hyper document data fails, only the hyperlink of the hyper document data is converted and displayed.
[0012]

Next, a second display example of the English-Japanese bilingual document will be described. FIG. 14A is a diagram showing a display example of the English-Japanese bilingual document. The display example of the English-Japanese bilingual document in FIG. 14A is exactly the same as the display example of the English-Japanese bilingual document in FIG. The hyperlinks 71 and 72 in FIG. 14A also point to the document 2E in FIG. 11B.
[0076]
It is assumed that the operator follows the hyperlink 72 of the document 1J by clicking on the screen J in the screen state of FIG. In this case, the input information is the same as in FIG. Therefore, the English-Japanese translation is searched from the process type definition file 35 as the conversion process. Processing type information for processing the document 2E is created based on the search result of the processing type definition file 35.
[0077]
FIG. 14B is a diagram illustrating a second content example of the process type information. From the information that the referenced document in FIG. 12A is the document 2E, a processing type of “access the external database to the referenced document 2E of the hyperlink 72” is obtained. Further, from the search result of the processing type definition file 35, a processing type of “translating the document 2E obtained by following the hyperlink 72 into Japanese to obtain the document 2J” is obtained. Further, from the information that the input screen of FIG. 12A is the screen J, a processing type of “display the document 2J on the screen J” is obtained.
[0078]
Here, a condition is added that the contents displayed on the screens E and J correspond to each other. As a result, the content of the document 2J corresponds to the content of the document 2E. Since the document 2E is described in English, a processing type of “display the document 2E on the screen E” is also obtained.
[0079]
FIG. 14C is a diagram showing a second display example of the English-Japanese conversion result of the reference destination document. In FIG. 14C, the output control unit 40 displays the contents of the document 2E on the screen E in accordance with the processing type “display the document 2E on the screen E”. As a result, “It's a fine day today.” Is displayed on the screen E in English. In addition, the output control unit 40 activates the screen synchronization control unit 40b according to the processing type “display the document 2J on the screen J”, and displays the contents of the document 2J on the screen J. As a result, the screen J displays "Today is fine weather." In Japanese.
[0080]
Thus, by providing the screen synchronization control unit 40b and linking the reference display on the screen E and the screen J, the reference destination of the screen J can be specified by simply clicking the hyperlink 72 on the screen J. At the same time, the reference destination of the screen E can be specified, and control can be performed to make the contents displayed on the screen E and the content displayed on the screen J coincide with each other.
[0081]
Next, a screen control process according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the third embodiment, the type of the document referred to by the hyperlink is automatically determined, and the screen is controlled. Here, an English-Japanese bilingual screen control method when the hyperlinked document is not guaranteed to be an English document and either the English document or the Japanese document is unknown is described.
[0082]
FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a language type determination method according to an embodiment of the present invention. 15, the language type determination unit 39a receives a character string in the document data obtained by the data acquisition unit 36 as an input, and outputs a language type of the document data. For example, when the sentence “This is a pen.” Is input to the language type determination unit 39a, the language type of the sentence is output as English as the determination result. When the sentence "This is a pen." Is input to the language type determination unit 39a, the language type of the sentence is output as Japanese as the determination result.
[0083]
If the target languages are only English and Japanese, as in this example, the language type can be determined from the ratio of 1-byte characters to 2-byte characters included in the character string. That is, the language type of a document can be determined by setting a document in which the content ratio of 2-byte characters in the document data is 20% or more as Japanese and a document having less than 20% as English. In the case of a language pair that cannot be determined from the character code, the language type of the document can be determined by performing a dictionary search.
[0084]
By providing the language type determination unit 39a in this way, even if the hyperlink refers to a document of a different type, uniqueness of the screen to the document type can be guaranteed.
[0085]
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a screen control process according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 16, the input unit 31 receives an input from the operator (step S41).

In this embodiment, the output control unit 40 refers to the screen display state management table 33a before executing the instruction from the processing type determination unit 34. The screen display state management table 33a manages whether the screens E, J, K,... Are displayed. FIG. 17B is a diagram illustrating an example of the contents of the screen display state management table 33a.
[0094]
In FIG. 17B, the contents of the screen display state management table 33a are such that the screen E is being displayed and the screen J is not being displayed. Therefore, in the current display state, it is understood that the English document 1E is displayed on the screen E and the Japanese document 1J is not displayed on the screen J. Since document E is displayed on screen E, document 2E is displayed on screen E. On the other hand, since the document 1J is not displayed on the screen J, the document 1J is first displayed on the screen J, and then the document 2J is displayed.
[0095]
FIG. 17C is a diagram showing a display example of an English-Japanese bilingual document. In FIG. 17C, a document 1J is displayed on a screen J. That is, the screen J displays the document 1J that reads "There is a book on the table. There is a pen on the floor." As the English-Japanese translation result of the document 1E.
[0096]
Thus, by displaying the document 1J on the screen J and then displaying the document 2J, it is possible to display a bilingual English-Japanese translation of the reference source and the reference destination. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a screen control process according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
