JP2506714B2 - Handwritten Japanese document output device - Google Patents

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handwritten Japanese document output device used as an output unit of a Japanese document editing, storing, printing device, Japanese information processing device, or the like. Is.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this type of handwritten Japanese document output device, in order to make it look more handwritten, several sets of character fonts with different writing velocities are prepared, and the writing velocities are changed one by one by random numbers etc. The non-uniformity of writing (1)
A so-called handwritten Japanese document output device has been developed, which is configured so that the same characters in two documents do not have exactly the same shape, but the shape and momentum slightly differ from each other.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional handwritten Japanese document output device, since the writing style changes one character at a time, when viewed as a series of character strings, there is no writing force between consecutive characters. It could be different, and it was undeniable that there was something unnatural about it.

The present invention is intended to solve such a conventional problem of unnaturalness, where the same character type continues where the writing velocities are the same, and it is an excellent handwriting style Japan that can give more naturalness. An object is to provide a word document output device.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention newly provides means for detecting a change point of a character type, and when converting a character code in document data into a character font, the writing The selection of switching which set of different character font sets to use is configured to work only at the change point of the character type.

Therefore, according to the present invention, due to the above-mentioned configuration, the writing force does not change where the same character type continues, and in general, where the character type changes, even if the writing force changes, it is not so noticeable and strange. Since it is rarely given, there is no unnaturalness such that the writing styles of successive letters are completely different, and the writing style of the same letters in the entire document can be changed, so that a more natural handwritten Japanese document Can be output.

Embodiments The drawings show the construction of an embodiment of a handwritten Japanese document output device of the present invention. In the drawing, 1 is a character code string of input Japanese document data, which is connected to a character code / character font conversion unit 5 through a character type change point detection unit 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a character font storage unit, which stores several sets of handwritten character fonts in which the writing patterns of characters are the same in the same group and the writing patterns of different groups are different. Font selection part 3
Through the character code / character font conversion unit 5. Further, the character type change point detection unit 2 is connected so as to control the contact of the selection changeover switch 31 of the font selection unit 3. The character code / character font conversion unit 5 is connected to the character font output unit 6.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. In the drawings, when the character type change point detection unit 2 detects a change point of a character type such as hiragana / katakana / kanji / alphanumeric symbols in the data from the input character code string 1, the character font selection unit 3 selects Switching of the contacts of the changeover switch 31 is enabled, and switching of the contacts is disabled when no change point is detected. The font selection unit 3 includes a character type change point detection unit 2
When the contact switching of the selection switch 31 is enabled by, the contacts are randomly moved to select which font set in the character font storage unit 4 is used. The character code / character font conversion unit 5 converts the input character code string 1 after the character type change point detection unit 2 detects a character type change point into a font of a set of character fonts selected by the font selection unit 3. Then, it is output from the character font output unit 6.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, in the character code string of the input Japanese document data, if the character type changes, the set of character fonts used is switched, and as long as the same character type continues. The set of character fonts used does not change. As a result, the writing force changes when the character type changes, and the same writing force is maintained where the same character type continues.

In the above embodiment, the character font sets in the character font storage unit 4 are not divided into character types, but for the purpose of saving the storage capacity, for example, three hiragana characters with a small number of characters and which are frequently used are used. , 2 pairs of katakana that have few characters but rarely used, 1 for alphanumeric characters that are less frequently used
Number of sets of character fonts prepared in the character font storage unit 4 depending on the character type, based on the number of characters of the same type, the frequency of use, the degree of change in writing style, etc. It is clear that the effect of the present invention can be exhibited even if the above is changed.

Further, in the example of the present invention, the selection method of which font set in the character font storage unit 4 to be used at the character type change point is random, but even if it is performed in a predetermined order ,. It is clear that this is not different from the essence of incorporating changes in writing habits without any unnaturalness.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is apparent from the above-described embodiment, the present invention changes the writing force only at the change points of the character type in which the writing force change is inconspicuous. There is an effect that it is possible to output a natural handwritten Japanese document in which the writing style is changed throughout the entire document without causing such unnaturalness.
