Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus for creating and editing a document.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of document processing apparatus, when a kanji conversion is instructed for a reading input in kana or romaji,
A kanji corresponding to the reading is searched for in a word storage device (hereinafter referred to as a dictionary) and converted into a sentence mixed with kana-kanji. At this time, as one method of converting words not in the dictionary, unregistered words are registered in an auxiliary word storage device (hereinafter, referred to as a user dictionary) for each user, and kanji not in the dictionary are taken out from the user dictionary and displayed. There is a method. Recently, unregistered words are automatically registered in a user dictionary,
A document processing apparatus that simplifies the method of registering a user dictionary has also been developed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Although the above-described method of using the user dictionary is widely used, when an unregistered word is registered in the user dictionary, it is often registered not in a reading corresponding to the notation but in another reading such as an abbreviation. However, if you register with another reading that does not correspond to the notation, the number of homonyms will increase,
There is a problem that it takes time to select a desired notation. Also, if the user forgets to register the notation with another reading, the word with the same notation may be registered repeatedly with different readings such as abbreviations, and the memory is wasted. There were also points.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a document processing apparatus capable of minimizing an increase in homonyms and using a memory effectively.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a document processing apparatus having an auxiliary word storage means for storing an unregistered word, a word registration means for registering a designated word in the auxiliary word storage means, and a designation by the word registration means. When registering a word, search means for searching whether a word having the same notation as the notation of the designated word or a word having the same reading as the reading of the specified word has already been registered in the auxiliary word storage means,
If the search means finds that a word having the same notation as the notation of the specified word or a word having the same reading as the reading of the specified word has already been registered, a word having the same notation as the notation of the specified word Alternatively, there is provided a display means for displaying a word having the same reading as the reading of the designated word together with a warning message.

[Action]

According to this invention, at the time of registering the designated word by the word registering means, the searching means determines whether a word having the same notation as the notation of the designated word or a word having the same reading as the reading of the specified word is already registered in the auxiliary word storage means. If it is found that a word with the same notation as the notation of the specified word or a word with the same reading as the reading of the specified word has already been registered, a word with the same notation as the notation of the specified word or specified A word having the same reading as that of the word is displayed on the display means together with a warning message.

That is, according to the present invention, when registering a specified word in the auxiliary word storage means, 1) when a word having the same notation as that of the specified word has already been registered in the auxiliary word storage means 2) In any case where the word with the same reading is already registered, the word with the same notation as the notation of the designated word or the word with the same reading as the reading of the specified word is displayed on the display means together with the warning message.

According to such a configuration, not only is the word having the same notation as the specified word but the same reading already registered in the auxiliary word storage means, but also the word or the specified word having the same notation as the specified word but different in reading. Even when words having the same pronunciation and different notations are already registered in the auxiliary word storage means, these words are displayed on the display means together with a warning message when the designated word is registered, whereby unnecessary words for the auxiliary word storage means are stored. Can be suppressed, and the storage capacity of the auxiliary word storage means can be used effectively.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the document processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a document processing apparatus according to the present invention.

This document processing device includes an input device 1, an input control unit 2, a word registration control unit 3, a dictionary search unit 4, a word storage device (dictionary).
5, an auxiliary word storage device (user dictionary) 6, a display control unit 7, and a display device 8.

The input device 1 is input means for inputting reading information, and includes character keys such as hiragana, English characters and numbers, and function keys such as a kanji conversion key. In addition, the input device 1 also has a function as a selection unit that allows the user to select whether or not to perform registration, for example, when a duplicate registration warning message is displayed on the display device 8 described below. The reading information input from the input device 1 is converted into a predetermined code by the input control unit 2 and sent to the word registration control unit 3. Note that a pointing device such as a mouse may be used as the above-described selection means.

The word registration control unit 3 controls a process of controlling the transfer of data such as reading and writing, a process of registering a designated word in the auxiliary word storage device 6 according to an instruction from a user, and a process of registering the designated word when registering the designated word. The dictionary search unit 4 searches the auxiliary word storage device 6 to determine whether a word having the same notation or a word having the same reading is registered in the auxiliary word storage device 6. Is performed to notify the user of duplicate registration.

The dictionary search unit 4 searches for words registered in the auxiliary word storage device 6 and the word storage device 5 according to the instruction of the word registration control unit 3, and performs a process of reading out the corresponding word.

The word registration control unit 3 and the dictionary search unit 4 are connected to a CPU.
It comprises a peripheral circuit based on a (central processing unit), and executes the above-described various data processing according to a control program stored in a memory device (not shown).

The dictionary storage device (dictionary) 5 is a storage device such as a ROM, and stores a Japanese dictionary for Kanji conversion, which is referred to when converting the input reading into Kanji.

The auxiliary word storage device (user dictionary) 6 is formed of a storage device such as a RAM, and stores a designated word specified by a user. The words registered in the auxiliary word storage device 6 can be registered and deleted by the user.

The display device 8 is a display unit that displays data such as reading information sent from the word registration control unit 3 and a warning message of duplicate registration, and the displayed data is input via the display control unit 7. You.

In the document processing apparatus of FIG. 1, when registration information such as reading and writing of a word is input from the input device 1, the information is sent to the word registration control unit 3 via the input control unit 2.
The word registration control unit 3 sends the information to the dictionary search unit 4 to make the dictionary search. The dictionary search unit 4 searches the auxiliary word storage device 6 and the word storage device 5 and, if there is one corresponding to the input reading and notation, stores the information in the word registration control unit 3.
Send to The word registration control unit 3 displays the information in the display control unit 7
And causes the display device 8 to display it together with a warning message. Here, when a registration request from the user is sent to the word registration control unit 3 via the input control unit 2, the word registration control unit 3 stores the reading and the notation in the auxiliary word storage device 6.

Next, a processing procedure for registering a word in the user dictionary will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the input control unit 2 reads a registered word from the input device 1,
When information such as notation is received, it is sent to the word registration control unit 3 (step 101). The word registration control unit 3 searches the auxiliary word storage device 6 and the word storage device 5 via the dictionary search unit 4, and determines whether a word having the same reading or the same notation already exists in the dictionary (step). 102). here,
If there is no word having the same reading or notation, the registered word is registered in the auxiliary word storage device (user dictionary) 6 (step 103). When words having the same reading or the same notation exist, information such as the reading and notation of those words is sent to the display controller 7 and displayed on the display device 8 together with a warning message (step 104). Then, it is determined whether or not the user has made a registration request (step 105). If there is a registration request, a message as to whether or not to change the reading or the notation is displayed (step 106). And
It is determined whether or not there is a reading or notation change request from the user (step 107).
The registered words are read or written in accordance with the user's instructions (step 108).

Next, a specific example will be described in which words having the same pronunciation but different notations and words having the same notation but different readings are registered.

Now, suppose that you want to register "Tohoku Sales Division" with the reading "Touei". First, the user instructs to register in the user dictionary with the reading “Toei” and the notation “Tohoku Sales Division”. Here, assuming that "Tokyo Sales Department" has already been registered in the user dictionary with the reading "Toei", the dictionary search unit 4 searches the user dictionary (the search range is limited to the user dictionary). Then, "Tokyo Sales Division" in the user dictionary is read. Then, the information of the word is displayed on the display device 8 together with the warning message. This allows the user to know that “Tokyo Sales Division” is already registered in the user dictionary with the reading “Toei”. In this case, for example, after changing to "Tohohokuei", re-register,
The number of homonyms can be prevented from increasing.

Also, when trying to register "Tokyo Sales Division" with the reading "Touei", the same notation "Tokyo Sales Division" was registered in the user dictionary with another reading "Toeiji" In this case, a warning message is displayed as in the above-described example. Also in this case, the user can know that the word having the same notation is registered in another reading, and can determine whether to register the word in another reading. Therefore, it is less likely that words having the same notation are registered repeatedly with different readings, and the memory can be used effectively.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, in the document processing apparatus according to the present invention, when a word having the same reading or the same notation as a word registered in the user dictionary is already registered, the information is notified to the user. In addition, the increase of homonyms can be suppressed to the minimum necessary, and the homonyms can be selected efficiently. In addition, when managing in-house term dictionaries etc. and sharing one user dictionary with multiple people, it is less likely that registered words will be registered with another reading, and memory Can be used effectively.
