DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document creation apparatus, and more particularly to a document creation apparatus which learns an error history of a character input or a function operation repeated by a user and automatically corrects the error, and an input method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-027959 discloses a method for reducing the number of operations for correcting a converted character string converted into a kana-kanji character in a document creation apparatus. According to the gazette, by returning a kana-kanji converted character string to a read character string, the user can perform a correction operation such as deletion or re-input of an erroneously input character, and input character correction means,
It comprises input character storage means, single kanji conversion means, and input character correction means. The input character storage means stores the input read character string to be converted, the single kanji conversion means performs single kanji conversion on the input read character string stored in the input character storage means, and the input character correction means In response to the cancellation instruction, the result of the single kanji conversion is returned to the original read character string stored in the input character storage means.

[0003]

Problems with the prior art are as follows.
After the character string converted into the Kana-Kanji character is returned to the original input character string, the user must correct the erroneous input by deleting or re-entering the character. The reason is that the reading character strings to be converted by Kana-Kanji conversion are limited to the character strings actually input by the user from the keyboard. The user has to make corrections from the keyboard because there is no means for determining this. In addition, each user has a habit of input, and the same error must be repeated many times, and the same correction operation must be performed each time, which hinders efficient input operation.

An object of the present invention is to correct an erroneous input operation of a kana-kanji conversion operation by converting an erroneous input kana character string, a corrected kana character string, or a converted kana-kanji conversion character string into an input operation sequence and frequency. Is registered and learned, and when the same input event is performed again, by automatically replacing the registered correction character string, the correction operation by the user is omitted,
The point is to improve the operation.

Another object of the present invention is to learn a conversion operation of a correction input for an erroneously input function operation and automatically perform the erroneous function operation when the same erroneous operation is performed again. An object of the present invention is to improve the operability by changing the setting of the function itself to the function of the conversion operation, thereby eliminating the operation of correcting the erroneous input by the user.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a document creating apparatus for inputting a kana character string from a keyboard, converting the character string into a conversion character string by a conversion operation, and generating a required conversion character string by a determination operation.

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1 showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, a document creation device 1 includes an input device 2 having a keyboard, and an input processing unit that receives character codes and function codes from the input device 2 and decodes them. 3, a kana character string processing unit 4 for processing a kana character string from a character code, a function operation processing unit 5 for executing various function operations from a function code, and a state flag for registering a character operation and an input sequence of the function operation , A correction information storage unit 8 for storing correction information for registering a kana character string before correction, a kana character string after correction, a converted character string, and the number of cancellation operations, a state flag and correction A control unit 6 for executing correction processing of the input kana character string with reference to the information, a display processing unit 9 for displaying the character string in the process, and an output device 10 for visualizing the display processing; Equipped with a.

Next, the configuration of the modification information 80 in the modification information storage unit 8 will be described with reference to FIG. The correction information 80 includes a kana character string 81, a corrected kana character string 82, the number of cancel operations 83,
The record has items of a conversion character string 84, a function operation 85, and a correction function operation 86. When there is an input operation corresponding to each item, it is registered in the correction information 80. Correction information 80
For example, referring to FIG. 9B, which shows a case where the user mistakenly inputs “chousa” as “chousa” and corrects “chousa” as an example, “Chuusa” is registered in the kana character string 811 of the correction information 81, “chousa” is added to the corrected kana character string 812 after the cancel operation, and the number of times of cancel operation following the input operation of the kana character string of “chusa” Is registered in the number of cancellation operations 813 as shown in FIG.

Next, the status flags in the status flag storage unit 7 will be described with reference to FIG.
The input sequence of character operation and function operation is sequentially registered. For example, in FIG. 5A, a character operation of “kana character string” 711 is registered. According to FIG. 5B, the “kana character string” 715, the “cancel operation” 714 thereof, and the corrected “kana character string” 713 are registered in the input order.

Next, the operation of the first input method of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The input operation from the user is input through the keyboard of the input device 2, and the input code is decoded by the input processing unit 3. The input processing unit 3 decodes the character code and sends it to the kana character string processing unit 4 to generate the character code into a kana character string. The control unit 6 registers the kana character string input event in the kana character string input 711 of the status flag 71 (step 2).
1). It is determined whether or not the user has performed a cancel operation for correcting an error in the kana character string. The input processing unit 3 decodes the operation and sends it to the function operation processing unit 5, and the function operation processing unit 5 causes the control unit 6 to perform a canceling process for the most recent input operation. When there is no cancellation operation (Step 2
(N of 2), the processing is terminated as it is. The state flag 71 in this case is shown in FIG. When the user performs a cancel operation (Y in step 22), the control unit 6 stores the kana character string cancel operation in the cancel operation 714 indicated by the state flag 71 in FIG. It is determined whether or not the kana character string "Chuusa" 811 has been registered, and if registered (Y in step 23), the correction information is checked (step 24). When the number of cancellation operations is equal to or more than the predetermined number (Y in step 25), the kana character string in the control unit 6 is determined by referring to the corrected kana character string 812 from the correction information 81 that is the past kana character string cancellation history. The character string 812 is replaced with the corrected character string 812, and the processing is terminated (step 26). In step 25, the number of cancellation operations is 8
When 13 has not reached the predetermined number (N in step 25), the kana character string before the cancel operation and the number of cancel operations are updated and registered in the correction information 81 (step 27). The user performs an input operation of the corrected kana character string (step 28), performs a finalizing operation (step 29), registers the corrected kana character string in the corrected kana character string 812 of the correction information 81, and ends (step 30). ). As shown in FIG. 5B, the control unit 6 sets the sequence of the input operation to the state flag 7 as shown in FIG.
The order of 13 is stored, and the nearest kana character string is determined.
Further, the control unit 6 adds the correction information 81 in FIG.
As shown in (c), the kana character string "Chuusa" before correction
811 and the number of cancellation operations “1” 813 are updated and registered, and in step 30, a corrected character string “Chousa” 812 is registered.

According to the above description, when the user performs an input operation on the kana character string input 715 having an error, it is determined from the correction information 81 that the pattern is a pattern repeated in the past, and the kana character string is determined. Since the character string is replaced with the correction kana character string 812, the cancel operation 714 and the input operation of the correction kana character input 713 in FIG. 5B are omitted.

Next, the operation of the second input method of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The input processing unit 3 decodes the input code from the input device 2 and passes the character code to the kana character string processing unit 4 (Step 35). When the user performs the conversion operation, the input processing unit 3 decodes the conversion code and causes the function operation processing unit 5 to perform the Kana-Kanji conversion of the Kana character string (Step 36).
It is determined whether or not the kana character string is registered in the correction information 82 of FIG. 10 by the conversion operation (step 37). FIG.
When it is not registered as shown in 0 (a) (N in step 37), the conversion operation ends as it is. FIG.
When registered as shown in (b) (step 37)
Y), the kana character string 821 in FIG. 10 and the number of cancel operations 8
23 is checked (step 38). When the number of cancellation operations 823 is equal to or more than the predetermined number (Y in step 39), the converted kana character string is replaced with a registered corrected converted character string “investigation” 824 and corrected (step 4).
5). When the predetermined number of times has not been reached (N in step 39),
As shown in the state flag 73 of FIG. 6B, a cancel operation 735 is performed for the kana character string input 737 and the conversion operation 736 (step 40). Fig. 9
(C) The number of cancellation operations is updated and registered in the kana character string 821 as the number of cancellation operations 823 (step 41). A corrected kana character string after the canceling operation is input (step 42 and status flag 734), and a conversion operation 73
3 is performed (step 43). The converted character string converted after the conversion operation 733 is converted character string “investigation” 8 of the correction information 82.
24, and the process ends (step 44).

According to the above description, when the history of the cancel operation 735 is stored in the correction information 82 by the user in response to the input operation of the kana character string 737 and the conversion operation 736 thereof, FIG. In the conversion operation 736 shown in ()), the kana character string 737 and the conversion operation 736 are corrected, and a corrected converted character string 824 is obtained. Therefore, FIG.
Operation 735 and Kana character string input 734 for correction input
And the conversion operation 733 are omitted.

Further, the operation of the third input method of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The input processing unit 3 decodes the input code from the input device 2 and passes the character code to the kana character processing unit 4 to generate a kana character string (step 51). When the user presses a function key other than the conversion operation on the kana character string, the input processing unit 3 decodes the function code and passes it to the function operation processing unit 5 to perform the function operation with the kana character. Apply to the column (step 52). When the function operation is performed, it is determined whether the kana character string and the function operation are registered in the correction information 83 of FIG. 11 (step 53). When the registration has not been made (N in step 53), the process ends with the state of the state flag 75 in FIG. When the registration has been made, the function operation 835 and the number of cancellation operations 833 of the correction information 83 in FIG. 11 are checked (step 54). When the number of cancellation operations 833 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (Y in step 55), the function operation 8
35 is replaced with the corrected function operation 836 and executed (step 60). When the number of cancellation operations does not reach the predetermined number (N in step 55), a cancellation operation 755 is performed on the kana character string 757 and the function operation 756 shown in FIG. 7B (step 56). For the cancel operation 755, the function operation is updated and registered in the function operation 835, and the number of cancel operations is updated and registered in the cancel operation number 833, respectively. In response to the cancel operation (step 56 and status flag 755), a character string 754 for correction is input (step 5).
8) The conversion operation 753 is performed on the kana character string 754, and the process ends (step 59).

According to the above description, kana character string input 75
If there is a cancel operation 755 in the function operation 756 following the step 7 and the kana character string and the repetition history of the function operation are registered in the correction information 83, the function operation itself is replaced with a normal conversion operation. For example, when repeatedly pressing down the space key to perform the conversion operation, the function of the space key itself is replaced with the function of the conversion key. As a result, the cancel operation 755, the kana character input 754, and the conversion operation 753 shown in FIG. 7B are omitted.

[0020]

The first effect of the present invention is to automatically replace the same kana character string with the "correction kana character string" intended by the user when the same kana character string is repeatedly canceled. The reason is that by learning the repetition pattern performed by the user into the status flag and the correction information,
Thereafter, when the same pattern is performed, it is possible to replace the registered “corrected kana character string” and display the same.

Further, a second effect of the present invention is that when a conversion operation is performed on the same kana character string and then a cancel operation is performed, the converted character after the conversion operation on the corrected kana character string intended by the user is performed. The automatic replacement of columns. The reason is that the user learns the repeated pattern based on the state flag and the correction information, so that when a conversion operation is subsequently performed on the same pattern, the pattern can be replaced with the learned converted character string and displayed.

Still further, a third effect of the present invention is that a key to which a function operation is not assigned is automatically replaced with a function operation intended by a user. The reason is,
After canceling a function key entered for the purpose of executing a certain function, the user learns the function operation that has been corrected and replaces the function key function itself with the corrected function operation function. Operation can be performed.
