Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a character processing device that converts an input kanji reading into a sentence mixed with kanji kana.

[Prior Art] In general, in Japanese language policies related to Japanese kana, two or more kana are allowed even for the same word in a public sentence. Be free. For this reason, conventionally, in the kana-kanji conversion by the character processing device, the selection of the kana for the same phonetic word has been performed based on a predetermined priority. For example, the display priority determination of a word having two or more types of kana notation is performed based on entry information in a kanji dictionary incorporated in the character processing device and frequency information indicating the frequency of selection of homophones, and is determined once. The priority did not change.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In such a situation, the display order of the phonetic kana of the same word synonym is fixed because the word that the user wants to select is selected first. However, if the first item is not selected, it is necessary to repeat the selection of the sending kana every time data is input, which is very inconvenient.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described drawbacks of the conventional example, and after the operator selects a desired kanji-kana mixed word in the sentence kana notation, the selected kanji kana mixed word is subsequently input. It is an object of the present invention to provide a character processing device which can be used as a kana to be converted for reading.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an input means for inputting reading data to a character processing device, and separates words having different sending kana in correspondence with the reading data. And a first storage unit storing a kanji notation and a sending kana position in the reading data as notation information of each of a plurality of kanji kana mixed words, and a plurality of kanji kana words stored in the first storage unit. A second storage unit that stores words to be displayed with priority among words, and a plurality of kanji kana mixed words stored in the first storage unit corresponding to the reading data input from the input unit. From the notation information of the second
Read out the notation information of the word stored in the storage means in priority, and read the kanji notation in the read notation information after the kana position in the input notation data in the read notation information. Display means for creating and displaying a word notation by adding a part, selecting means for selecting one word from a plurality of kanji kana mixed words whose word notation is displayed on the display means, Storage control means for storing the words stored in the second storage means.

[Operation] According to the present invention, words having different sending kana are made independent words corresponding to the reading data, and the kanji notation and the sending in the reading data are used as notation information of each of a plurality of words mixed with the kanji kana. The kana position and the kana position are stored in the first storage means, and from the notation information of the plurality of kanji kana mixed words stored in the first storage means corresponding to the reading data input from the input means, A display unit that preferentially reads out the word notation information stored in the second storage unit,
A word notation is created and displayed by adding a portion of the input notation data after the kana position in the read notation information to the kanji notation in the read notation information. The storage control unit stores one word selected by the selection unit from a plurality of words mixed with the kanji kana in which the word notation is displayed in the second storage unit. As a result, the selected word is preferentially displayed in response to the subsequent input of the same reading, including the way of sending the kana, so that the number of candidate selection operations by the operator can be reduced.

In FIG. 3, information indicating the reading of kanji and the delimitation of kanji and kana is stored in the reading field of the dictionary DIC in the form of a code. In the kanji field of the dictionary DIC, kana-kanji mixed words corresponding to the reading of the kanji are stored in the form of codes.

The display memory HM is provided with a first notation field and a second notation field for storing selection priority information for the same phonetic word. The first notation field indicates a priority order for words mixed with kanji kana, and bit “1” indicates the first priority.

The second notation field indicates the priority order for the homonymous kanji string, and the bit “1” indicates the first priority. The addresses of the kanji field, the reading field, and the notation field are set in association with each other.

FIG. 4 shows a basic control procedure executed by the microprocessor CPU shown in FIG. This control procedure is stored in the memory ROM.

In FIG. 4, when the power is turned on, in step S1, the contents of the dictionary read from the external storage device are written into the random access memory RAM, and various information necessary for the arithmetic processing are set (initialized) to initial values. .

In step S2, a state of waiting for a key input from the keyboard KB is maintained. Step when the key on the keyboard KB is pressed
Proceed to S3, make a determination on the type of the input key,
Either kana-kanji conversion processing or other processing is performed according to the determination result.

When it is determined that the input key is a key for instructing kana-kanji conversion, the character string representing the input character is then converted to a kanji-kana mixed sentence, and then the converted kanji-kana mixed sentence is converted. Display on display CRT (Step S
4 to S5).

FIG. 5 shows a detailed control procedure relating to the kana-kanji mixed conversion in step S4 shown in FIG.

With reference to FIG. 5, a description will be given of the kana-kanji mixed word selection process according to the present invention.

In step S31 in FIG. 5, the microprocessor CPU performs a process of dividing the Japanese sentence input in Roman characters or kana into parts of speech. This process is well known and will not be described in detail here.

When the process of dividing Japanese sentences is completed,
The process proceeds to S32 to determine which kanji is to be applied to the divided reading.

Next, the process proceeds to step S33 to check whether there are a plurality of homophone display candidates. This check first detects a divided reading, for example, "represents" in the reading field in the dictionary DIC.

Next, the address of the read field that stores the detected “represent” is changed to the next address, and the content of that address is read. As shown in FIG. 3, in the case of the present example, it is possible to check whether or not there are a plurality of homophone candidates by comparing the read information with the above-mentioned divided reading.

When there is a reading corresponding to the divided reading in the reading field, the identification information of the corresponding notation field may be identified to determine whether there is a plurality of notations for the same phonetic word.

If the microprocessor CPU determines that there are a plurality of notations for the same phonetic word, then the first candidate notation character is read from the kanji field with reference to the storage contents of the display field. For example, "representation" is read out as the notation character corresponding to the reading "represent" (step S3).
Five).

Next, the microprocessor CPU converts the read notation characters into character information in the form of dots by the character generator CG, and causes the display device CRT to visually display the characters via the controller CRTC (step S36).

Next, the microprocessor CPU waits for the operator to select and input a homophone from the keyboard KB. Operator first
When a candidate is selected and input, the microprocessor CPU stores the written character of the first candidate in the data buffer DBUF and causes the display device CRT to display it.

When the operator gives an instruction to display the next candidate from the keyboard KB, the microprocessor CPU updates the storage address of the currently displayed homophone in the kanji field of the dictionary DIC, and then or The next candidate homophone is read, stored in the data buffer DBUF, and displayed on the display device CRT. Hereinafter, the microprocessor CPU repeats the switching processing of the homophone in response to the switching instruction until the operator instructs the homophone to be selected.

Switched notation characters are keyboard KB by operator
(Step S37), the microprocessor CPU rewrites the attribute information of the display field of the notation memory HM corresponding to the notation character selected and instructed to "1", and changes the attribute information of other homophones to "1". It is rewritten to "0" (step S38).

In this way, each time the operator switches or selects a spelling character for a plurality of homophones, the priority order of the spelling characters is converted, and the next time the same homophone is selected, the previously selected spelling character is displayed on the display device CRT. Will be displayed.

In this example, the first priority notation is displayed. However, the phonetic kana notation of the homonym is different from the selection of the homonym during the writing of the document. Since there is no kana notation, the input reading information can be automatically converted to the selected kana notation after the selection of the kana notation. In this case, the attribute information of the notation memory HM is initialized to “0” at power-on or when an instruction to select a notation is given, and the notation selected by the operator in the first notation selection for a certain word. The corresponding attribute information is set to “1”, and thereafter, the word having the attribute information “1” in the notation memory HM may be automatically subjected to character conversion in correspondence with the input pronunciation.

 FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the notation memory HM shown in FIG.

In FIG. 6, a kanji having a plurality of notations is stored in a notation field of the notation memory HM. In the Yomi field, a Yomi including a kana corresponding to the kanji in the notation field is stored.

Similarly, the character position of the kana is stored in the kana position field. The priority is stored in the selection field.

FIG. 7 shows a control procedure for determining the priority order of the written characters using the display memory HM shown in FIG.

Note that, in FIG. 7, the same processing steps as those in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Specifically, the microprocessor CPU selects the kanji “table” of the kana character “3” as the first priority notation character,
The reading “su” after the “3” character is added to the kanji “table” to create a word “represent” mixed with kanji kana, and the created word is displayed as a notation character on the display device CRT (steps S33 to S3).
6).

Hereinafter, the microprocessor CPU displays the next candidate in response to the operator's instruction to switch the notation characters displayed on the display device CRT. For example, when the operator inputs a selection instruction for "representation", the microprocessor CPU changes the attribute information of the selection field corresponding to the selected notation character "representation" from "0" to "1", and changes the other attribute. Information is “0”
Rewrite to

As a result, the next time "represent" is input from the keyboard KB, the control procedure shown in FIG. 7 is executed by the microprocessor CPU, and "representation" is displayed first. If the operator selects this "represent" as it is, "represent" is treated as the latest notation information.

It should be noted that the number of times the operator instructs switching to the next candidate written character is counted, and when the result of the count is “0”, it can be determined that the priority order for the written character has not been changed. This determination processing is executed by the microprocessor CPU, and the fact that the first priority notation character is selected as it is is detected by the switching instruction being “0” times, and
The rewriting process and display process of the latest notation information in S37 may be omitted.

In FIG. 7, the input pronunciation is divided into words, and when it is detected that there are a plurality of written characters for the division of the word (steps S31 to S33), step S3 is performed.
At 3 ', the microprocessor CPU analyzes the notation method. The microprocessor CPU refers to the notation memory shown in FIG. 6 and classifies, for example, “represent” and “represent” into a kanji part and a sending kana part, and determines the sending kana.

In the present embodiment, an example is described in which on-read information input from a keyboard is converted into a notation character selected in advance, but an application form of the present embodiment is based on old kanazukai and new kanazukai. A dictionary of written characters may be provided, and a new or old kana word may be instructed with an instruction key to select a dictionary in advance, and character conversion may be performed using this dictionary.

It is also possible to extract from the storage memory the information that has been character-converted based on the new kana spell dictionary, and automatically perform batch conversion to the old kana spell based on the kana spell dictionary.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the word selected by the operator is stored, including the way of sending the kana, and is displayed preferentially for subsequent input of the same reading. Therefore, there is an effect that the number of candidate selection operations by the operator can be reduced.

In addition, words with different kana are assumed to be independent words, and the kanji notation and the position of the kana in the reading data are stored as the notation information of each of the words mixed with a plurality of kanji kana, so that There is an effect that words can be distinguished and the storage capacity is small.
