[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a simplified information input system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a simplified information input system according to the present embodiment includes an input device 10 such as a keyboard.
And a data processing device 20 operating under program control
And a storage device 30 for storing information.

The storage device 30 has a processing item storage unit 3
1 and a fixed data storage unit 32. The fixed-form data storage unit 32 registers the fixed-form data (1) that stores each character string as the fixed-form data and detailed information including the meaning information of the character string, in a specified combination of the character strings, and corresponds to the combination. Fixed data (2) for storing detailed information.

The processing item storage unit 31 includes a current item storage unit 311, a previous item storage unit 312, and an item before storage unit 313. In this case, each character string information obtained by dividing an input character string by a delimiter is stored for three generations.

The data processing device 20 includes an item analyzing means 21, a combination checking means 22, a fixed form data converting means 23, and another data processing means 24.

The item analyzing means 21 divides the input character string provided from the input device 10 by a delimiter code, and converts the character string stored in the standard data storage unit 32 by using each character string delimited by the delimiter key as a key. Search for. In addition, it checks whether the input character string matches input rules such as the number and types of input characters, that is, the validity in processing the input character string.

The combination search means 22 stores the character strings satisfying the input rule for three generations in the processing item storage section 31 and also stores the combination of the context of the input character strings stored in the processing item storage section 31 as: A check is made to see if the rules defined for the combination of input character strings match, and whether the combination of input character strings can be converted as fixed data.

The fixed form data conversion means 23 stores fixed form data corresponding to a combination of input items in the fixed form data storage unit 3.
From 2, create detailed information. Further, the other data processing means 24 performs processing such as displaying the finally obtained fixed form data on a display device.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

The input character string given from the input device 10 is passed to the item analyzing means 21. The item analysis unit 21 checks whether the input character string is valid for continuing the processing (steps 201 and 202). In other words, here, it is checked whether the input rules such as the number and types of input characters conform to the input rules, and if an error that does not conform to the input rules is detected in the input character string, the operator is notified of the error in the input data. An input data error process for notifying that there is is performed (step 213).

If the input character string is appropriate, a search is made as to whether the same character string is stored in the fixed-form data storage unit 32 (steps 203 and 204).

If the same character string as the input character string is stored in the fixed-form data storage unit 32, the corresponding information is read out and stored in the current item storage unit 311 of the processing item storage unit 31 of the storage device 30 (step). 205).

The character string stored in the processing item storage unit 31 in step 205 is subjected to combination inspection by the combination inspection unit 22 (step 2).
06). In this combination inspection, the validity of the combination of the input character strings and the fixed form data are determined by the character strings for three generations of the current item storage unit 311, the previous item storage unit 312, and the item storage unit 313 of the processing item storage unit 31. Check if it can be converted as

First, it is checked whether or not the rule set for the combination of the input character strings matches (step 207). If the combination of input character strings violates the rules, an input data error process for notifying the operator that there is an error in the input data is performed (step 214).

If the combination of input character strings conforms to the rules, it is checked whether or not the combination is convertible as fixed data (step 208). For example, in the previous item storage unit 312 and the item storage unit 313 before,
If the character string has not been stored yet, it is not a combination that can be converted as fixed data, so the process returns to step 201 and the above processing is performed for the next input character string.

If the combination is convertible as fixed data, the matching character string is searched from the fixed data storage unit 32 (step 209).

Then, the standard data conversion means 23 converts the input character string into standard data based on the information retrieved from the standard data storage unit 32 (step 210). After the conversion, the previous item storage unit 3 of the processing item storage unit 31
The twelve character string information is transcribed to the item storage unit 313 before last, and the character string information of the current item storage unit 311 is transcribed to the previous item storage unit 312 (step 211). With this processing, the next combination of input character strings can be inspected.

Further, it is determined whether or not the input character string currently being processed is the last character string. If the input character string is not the last character string, the processing from step 201 is repeated, and the same processing is performed up to the last character string. (Step 212).

When the processing has been completed for all the input character strings, the control is shifted to other data processing, and processing such as display processing on the display device is continued (step 213).

When an error in the input character string is detected by the item analyzing means 21 and the combination checking means 22, the input data error processing for notifying the operator that there is an error in the input data is performed as described above. It is on the street.

In the present embodiment, since the operation as described above is performed, the combination checking means 22 determines the combination while sequentially referring to the input character string information of three generations. Can be processed regardless of the number. Furthermore, it is possible to search for applicable fixed-form data from a combination of character strings before and after each character string, so that restrictions on the types of character string data to be handled are reduced.

Next, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 3, fixed data storage unit 32 is provided with fixed data (1) serving as detailed information on each character string and fixed data (2) serving as detailed information developed from a combination of each character string. Shall be

That is, the fixed-form data (1) in the fixed-form data storage unit 32 includes the character strings “ITEM1” to “ITEM1”.
9 "and detailed information including its semantic information are stored. In the standard data (2) of the standard data storage unit 32, a character string" ITEM11 "in an abbreviated format meaning a combination of the character strings registered as the standard data is stored. "," ITEM12 ",
A combination of “ITEM13” and a character string represented by those character strings is registered.

In this example, the character string "ITEM11" is a combination of character strings "ITEM1 ITEM2 ITEM".
3 ITEM4 ”, and the character string“ ITEM12 ”is a combination of character strings“ ITEM4 ITEM5 ITEM ”.
6 ”, and the character string“ ITEM13 ”indicates a combination of character strings“ ITEM7 ITEM8 ITEM9 ”.

Here, the input character string "I"
A specific operation in the case where TEM1 ITEM11 ITEM4 ″ is given will be described.

Referring to FIG. 2, since the processing from step 201 to step 211 is to be repeated while the check character string exists, the details of the number of times of processing will be described in detail.

In the first processing, the item analyzing means 21
Delimits the input character string with a delimiter and checks whether the input character string "ITEM1" for the first character string is valid for continuing processing (steps 201 and 20).
2). If the input character string is appropriate, a search is made as to whether the same character string "ITEM1" is stored in the standard data (1) of the standard data storage unit 32 (steps 203 and 204).

In this case, since the same character string as the input character string "ITEM1" is stored in the standard data (1) of the standard data storage unit 32, the corresponding information is read out and the processing item storage unit 31 of the storage device 30 is read. Is stored in the current item storage unit 311 (step 205).

In this state, the character string "ITEM1" is stored in the current item storage unit 311 of the processing item storage unit 31, and the delimiter (blank) is stored in the previous item storage unit 312 and the item before item storage unit 313, respectively. Have been.

Next, it is checked whether or not the combination of the character strings from the current item storage unit 311 to the item before last item storage unit 313 matches the predetermined rule (step 207).

In this case, since the combination of character strings conforms to the rules, it is next determined whether or not the combination of character strings from the current item storage unit 311 to the item storage unit 313 before last is a combination that can be converted as standard data. Inspection is performed (step 208).

In this case, since the character strings are not yet stored in the previous item storage unit 312 and the item before last item storage unit 313 and are not combinations that can be converted as fixed data, the processing by the fixed data conversion means 23 is performed. First, the contents of the previous item storage unit 312 are stored in the item storage unit 31 before last.
3 and the character string “IT” in the current item storage 311
"EM1" is transcribed to the previous item storage unit 312 (step 211), and since the character string "ITEM1" is not the final character string (step 212), step 201
And the second processing for the next input character string is performed.

In the second processing, the item analyzing means 21
Separates the input character string with a delimiter and checks whether the second character string "ITEM11" is appropriate for continuing the processing (step 2).
02).

If the input character string is appropriate, it is searched whether or not the same character string "ITEM11" is stored in the standard data (1) or the standard data (2) of the standard data storage unit 32 (see FIG. 4). Steps 203 and 204).

In this case, since the same character string as the input character string "ITEM11" does not exist in the fixed data (1) of the fixed data storage unit 32, the corresponding information is read from the fixed data (2) and the processing of the storage device 30 is performed. The current item storage 311 of the item storage 31 is stored (step 20).
5).

In this state, the character string "ITEM11" is stored in the current item storage section 311 of the processing item storage section 31, and the character string "ITEM 11" is stored in the previous item storage section 312.
1 "is stored, and a delimiter (blank) is stored in the item storage unit 313 before last.

Next, it is checked whether or not the combination of character strings from the current item storage unit 311 to the item before last item storage unit 313 matches a predetermined rule (step 207).

In this case, since the combination of character strings conforms to the rules, it is next determined whether the combination of character strings from the current item storage unit 311 to the item storage unit 313 is a combination that can be converted as standard data. Inspection is performed (step 208).

Here, in the item storage unit 313 before last,
Since the character string has not yet been stored and is not a combination that can be converted as fixed data, the fixed data conversion means 2
3, the character string “ITEM1” in the previous item storage unit 312 is transcribed to the item storage unit 313 before, and the character string “ITEM1” in the current item storage unit 311 is transferred.
"1" is transcribed to the previous item storage unit 312. Then, since the character string "ITEM11" is not the final character string (step 212), the process returns to step 201 to perform the third processing for the next input character string.

In the third processing, the item analyzing means 21
Delimits the input character string with a delimiter and checks whether the third character string "ITEM4" is appropriate for continuing the processing (step 20).
2).

If the input character string is appropriate, it is searched whether or not the same character string "ITEM4" is stored in the standard data (1) of the standard data storage unit 32 (steps 203 and 204).

In this case, since the same character string as the input character string "ITEM4" exists in the fixed data (1) of the fixed data storage section 32, the corresponding information is read out and the storage device 30 is read.
Current item storage unit 311 of the processing item storage unit 31
(Step 205).

In this state, the character string "ITEM4" is stored in the current item storage section 311 of the processing item storage section 31, and the character string "ITEM1" is stored in the previous item storage section 312.
1 "is stored, and the character string" ITEM1 "is stored in the item storage unit 313 before.

Next, it is checked whether or not the combination of the character strings from the current item storage unit 311 to the item storage unit 313 before the current one matches the predetermined rule (step 207).

In this case, a character string is stored in the item storage unit 2 for three generations, and the combination of the character strings conforms to the rules. It is checked whether or not the combination of character strings is a combination that can be converted as the standard data (step 208).

Here, it is determined that the combination of the character strings in the two-before-previous item storage unit 313, the previous item storage unit 312, and the current item storage unit 311 is a combination that can be converted as fixed-form data. A conversion process is performed (step 210).

Here, the fixed form data conversion means 23 searches the fixed form data (2) of the fixed form data storage unit 32 for a matching character string because the fixed form data can be converted. As a result, the character string "ITE
M11 ”is the character string“ ITEM2 ”and the character string“ ITEM
3 ", and the converted standard data as shown in FIG. 3 is obtained.

Thereafter, the character string “ITEM11” of the previous item storage unit 312 is transcribed to the item storage unit 313 before and the character string “ITEM4” of the current item storage unit 311 is transferred.
Is transferred to the previous item storage unit 312 (step 21).
1). The current item storage unit 311 stores a delimiter. At this point, it is unknown whether or not the character string “ITEM4” is the final character string, so the processing shifts to the fourth processing.

In the fourth processing, the item analyzing means 21
Checks whether the current combination of the item storage units is a combination that can be converted as standard data without performing the processing by the item analysis unit 21 because the content of the current item storage unit 311 is a delimiter. (Step 208). In this case, since it is not a combination that can be converted as fixed data, it is determined whether or not it is the last character string (step 212). In this case, since it is a delimiter, it is determined that the previous character string "ITEM4" was the last character string, and the processing by the other data processing means 24 is executed (step 213).

By the above processing, the final information after the conversion of the standard data is automatically generated as shown in the figure.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and examples, but can be variously modified and implemented within the scope of the technical idea.

[0067]

As described above, according to the simplified input system for fixed information of the present invention, fixed data is set for each combination of input character strings omitting fixed data, and a combination of character strings corresponding to the fixed data is set. Just enter
By automatically retrieving the standard data, the burden on the operator when inputting the standard data is greatly reduced compared to the conventional case where a pattern number is assigned to each standard data and the standard data is searched. Simple input of data can be performed efficiently.

Also, by setting various types of fixed data for each combination of input character strings, the number of searches can be reduced, and the search speed of fixed data can be improved.
It is possible to input a large amount of fixed data.

Furthermore, since the fixed form data is searched based on a combination of input character strings for several generations, even when the input character string data is composed of many character strings, the fixed form data can be sequentially searched. Thus, simple input of fixed data can be efficiently performed without burden.
