Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a Japanese language processing apparatus.

(B) Conventional technology Currently, in a Japanese language processing device such as a Japanese word processor, a batch conversion method is performed in which a sentence to be converted is input in one sentence and then Kana-Kanji is converted in a batch (Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-
No. 29504) is adopted.

By the way, when converting kana-kanji characters, it is easy to cause erroneous conversion.

Therefore, a re-conversion method is used in which a Kanji character string word or a Kanji / Kana mixed character string word that has been converted once is converted into reading and then Kana-Kanji conversion is performed again for such reading.

(D) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The first problem to be solved by the present application is that in the batch conversion method, after inputting a reading, the cursor must be positioned behind the reading and a conversion instruction must be given. Moreover, in the re-conversion method, the cursor must be placed at the beginning of the word to be re-converted to give a conversion instruction, and the operation method must be different between the batch conversion and the re-conversion.

A first object of the present application is to provide a Japanese language processing apparatus that enables batch conversion and reconversion with the same operation.

 A second problem to be solved by the present application will be described.

Conventionally, as described above, at the time of re-conversion, it is necessary to position the cursor at the beginning of the word to be re-converted and give a conversion instruction.

A second object of the present application is to provide a Japanese language processing device that enables re-conversion at the time of re-conversion without having to position the cursor at the beginning of the word to be re-converted.

 The reconversion will be briefly described.

In Japanese, there are homophones and different kanji even with the same reading.

Therefore, the kana-kanji conversion function selects a kanji from a plurality of kanji candidates corresponding to the input reading.

As long as you keep the reading information, you can re-select this Kanji candidate.

However, after the kanji is confirmed, the reading information is discarded, so
It was impossible to select this Kanji candidate.

It is conceivable to provide a dictionary for converting kanji into Yomi in order to enable conversion even after the kanji is fixed.

However, it is unrealistic to have a dictionary that stores readings corresponding to all Chinese characters.

For this reason, JP-A-61-260353 (G06F15 / 20)
As shown in (1), a Japanese processing device is conceivable that stores the readings and kanjis that are the target of kana-kanji conversion in a table and enables the reverse conversion from kanji to readings.

By doing so, the table for converting from kanji to reading is automatically created, and even if the capacity thereof is small, it can be practically used.

Another object of the present application is to provide a Japanese language processing device capable of performing re-conversion at the time of such re-conversion even if the cursor is not positioned at the beginning of the word to be re-converted.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is a Japanese language processing apparatus capable of batch conversion and re-conversion, and an input means (2) for inputting a reading and a conversion instruction to be subjected to kana-kanji conversion. , The document is stored in a code format, and the code corresponding to the first character of a word composed of a kanji character string or a kanji / kana mixed character string and the reading to be converted input from the input means (2) are shown.

And, while searching for the code to which the modification information at the closest position is added, the continuity of the modification information is checked by checking whether the modification information is added to the code adjacent to this code, and the modification information is When continuous, the code to which the continuous modification information is added is sequentially read from the text memory (6), and the batch conversion processing section (20)
In kana-kanji conversion, the modifier information is added to the first character of the kana-kanji converted word and written in the text memory (6). When the modifier information is discontinuous, the modifier information is added. The above-mentioned re-conversion processing unit (21) re-converts a word having the above character as a head.

(20) is a batch conversion processing unit, which executes a third conversion based on the batch conversion instruction signal sent from the main control unit (1).
The operation shown in the figure is performed.

That is, first, in step S101, the position is sent from the flag check unit (19) to the main control unit (1) to receive the position from the main control unit (1), and the above position (hereinafter referred to as a flag position) is received in the subsequent S102 slap. The string of codes to which the flag is added is read from the text memory (6) which is the head.
Next, in step S103, the read code string is sent to the Kanji conversion processing unit (12) via the bus (13) to perform Kana-Kanji conversion on the code string. After that, S104
In the step, a flag is added to the leading character of each word output from the Kanji conversion processing unit (12), and the word is read together with the Kanji reading table processing unit (1
Send to 7). Finally, in step S105, the word is written from the flag position in the text memory (6).

Reference numeral (21) is a reconversion processing section, which performs the processing shown in FIG. 4 based on the reconversion instruction signal sent from the main control section (1).

That is, first, in step S201, the position sent from the flag check unit (19) to the main control unit (1) (hereinafter, referred to as a flag position) is received from the main control unit (1), and the subsequent S202
In step, the code is sequentially read from the flag position in the text memory (6) and sent as a word to the Kanji reading table processing unit (17). As a result, the reading corresponding to the code string is output from the processing section (17).
In step S204, the reading is received, and in the subsequent step S204, the reading is sent to the kanji conversion processing unit (12) to perform kanji conversion. Then, in step S205, a flag is added to the first character of the word output from the kanji conversion processing unit (12), and in the following step S206, the word is written from the flag position in the text memory (6). In the next step S207, the main control unit (1) is inquired whether or not a key is currently input from the input unit (2). If there is a key input, the process proceeds to step S208. In step S208, it is determined whether the input key is a conversion key, and if it is determined that the input key is not a conversion key.
In step S209, the word output in step S204 is output together with the reading to the Kanji reading table processing unit (17), and the process ends. If it is determined in step S208 that the key is a conversion key, the process returns to step S201 and returns to step S201.
Steps S to S207 are repeated, but if there are a plurality of words corresponding to the reading received in step S203, S2
The word output in step 04 is controlled so as to be different for each of the above-mentioned repeated processes. Since such control is well known to those skilled in the art, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a control program of the main control unit (1), and the control operation of the main control unit (1) will be described below based on the flowchart.

First, in step S1, a key type signal from the key retrieval unit (3) is waited for, and when such a signal is input, such key type signal is determined in step S2.

In such a determination, if it is determined that the signal is a signal indicating a character key, the process proceeds to step S3, if it is a signal indicating a cursor instruction key, the process proceeds to step S4, and a signal indicating a conversion key is further determined. The process proceeds to step S5.

In step S3, a storage instruction signal is sent to the character processing unit (18) to cause the processing unit (18) to perform the processing described above. After that, when such step ends, the process returns to step S1.

In step S4, a cursor change instruction signal is sent to the cursor address section (19), and the address section (19)
Change the contents of. After that, when such step ends, the process returns to step S1.

On the other hand, in step S5, the flag check unit (19) sends a check signal to cause the check unit (19) to perform the processing described above. After that, it is determined in step S6 whether or not the information transmitted from the flag check unit (19) indicates flag continuity.

In such a determination, if it is determined that the flag is continuous, the process
In step S7, a batch conversion instruction signal is output to the batch conversion processing unit (20) in step S7, and the processing unit (20)
To perform the processing shown in FIG.

If it is determined in step S6 that the flag is discontinuous, the process proceeds to step S8. However, in step S8, a reconversion instruction signal is output to the reconversion processing unit (21), and the fourth conversion processing unit (21) outputs the reconversion instruction signal. The processing shown in the figure is performed.

After that, when steps S7 and S8 are completed, the process returns to step S1.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described using a specific example.

First of all, the character key corresponding to the kana character string “Kyo no Tenki hare. Asumo hare. But yogo seems to run from candy.” Is input from the input section (2). Then, steps S1 to S3 are sequentially repeated for each character, and the flag code corresponding to each character is stored in the text memory (6). Therefore, it is displayed on the CRT (4) as shown in FIG. 6 (a). The square frame in the figure is a cursor.

After that, when the conversion key is input from the input unit (2),
The process proceeds from the S1 and S2 steps to the S5 step, and a flag check is performed in the S5 step. At this time, all the flags are added to the codes in the text memory (6), and the cursor is located behind the code string. Therefore, the flag check unit (19) sends the position in the text memory (6) in which the head of the code string is stored as the flag position and outputs the information indicating the flag continuity.

Therefore, the process proceeds from step S6 to step S7.

In step S7, since the batch conversion instruction signal is given to the batch conversion processing unit (20), the processing shown in FIG. 3 is performed in the processing unit (20). In order to indicate the beginning position of the code string, in step S102, the code string corresponding to the character string "Kyo no Tenki hare. It will come out tomorrow. It is read from the text memory (6) and converted into kana-kanji in step S103. After that, the word converted in step S103 is added with a flag in step S104, registered in the Kanji reading table (14) together with the reading, and further, S1.
In step 05, the above words are sequentially stored from the flag position in the text memory (6).

Therefore, it is displayed on the CRT (4) as shown in FIG. 6 (b), and on the Kanji reading table (14) as shown in FIG. 7 (a).
The words such as “today”, “turning point”, and “sunny” converted as shown in FIG.

Next, when the cursor moving key is input from the input unit (2) to move the cursor to the "machine" of the "turning machine", the main control unit (1) sequentially processes steps S1, S2, and S4, and the cursor is moved. Is moved to the position shown in FIG. 6 (c).

After that, when the conversion key is input from the input unit (2) in such a state, the main control unit (1) sequentially processes steps S1, S2, and S5. At this time, in step S5, the flag check unit (19) outputs the position in the text memory (6) in which the code corresponding to the character "roll" is stored as the flag position and the information indicating the flag discontinuity. Therefore, the process proceeds from step S6 to step S8.

In such S8 step, since the reconversion instruction signal is given to the reconversion processing unit (21), the fourth conversion in the processing unit (21) is performed.
The process shown in the figure is performed. At this time, since the flag position is the position in the text memory (6) in which the code corresponding to the character "roll" is stored, the flag position in the text memory (6) is stored in step S202. Codes corresponding to "ten" and "machine" are sent to the kanji reading table processing unit (17), and as a result, the reading "tenki" stored in the kanji reading table (14) corresponding to the word "ten" Is output from the processing section (17). Therefore, the main control unit (1) is S203
In step S204, such reading is detected, and in step S204, the reading is sent to the kanji conversion processing unit (12).

Therefore, in such a processing unit (12), for example, the reading “Tenki” is read.
Since the homonym "weather" corresponding to is read out and output,
The main control unit (1) adds a flag to the code of the first character "heaven" of the word "weather" in step S205, and continues.
In step S206, the word is stored from the flag position in the text memory (6). As a result, the display on the CRT (4) becomes as shown in FIG. 6 (d).

After that, key input is awaited in step S207, but if a key other than the conversion key is input at this time, the process proceeds from step S208 to step S209. Therefore, in step S209, the word "weather" is registered in the Kanji reading table (14) together with its reading. As a result, the kanji reading table (14) becomes as shown in FIG. 7 (b).

If the conversion key is input in step S207, the process returns from step S208 to step S201, and the process returns to step S1.
Through steps S6 to S6 are sequentially processed. At this time, a homonym, for example, "transcription" is output from step S204 instead of "weather".

In the present embodiment, the case where the cursor is positioned behind the reading input during the batch conversion has been described, but even if the cursor is positioned in the middle of reading input as shown in FIG. 6 (e), for example. It will be apparent from the above description of the operation that the conversion is performed as shown in FIG. 6 (b).

(G) Effect of the Invention According to the present invention, batch conversion processing and re-conversion processing are selected by the continuity of flags in the text memory, and the character string to be converted is automatically selected based on the flags. Since it is detected, the user can perform batch conversion and reconversion in the same operation. By adding a flag indicating the conversion target to each character of the reading that is the conversion target, it is possible to convert the reading at any time.

Further, in the present invention, since the flag is added to the head character of the word, the head of the word to be reconverted can be accurately recognized by this flag.
