Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device, and more particularly to a method for switching to a colloquial style priority mode.
[0002]
[Prior art and its problems]
When executing a Japanese input process in each application program, a character string input to a Japanese IME (input method editor) program is given, and a conversion result is received. In such a Japanese IME program, ATOK13 (trademark) of Just System Co., Ltd. is known as a Japanese IME program that can be switched to a colloquial style priority mode.
[0003]
In the colloquial style priority mode, spoken words are preferentially displayed as conversion candidates. By switching to this mode, if you enter a reading string of "Hmmmm" and want to convert it to "Hmmmm", it will be converted to "Hmmmm" Can be prevented.
[0004]
However, conventionally, switching to the colloquial style priority mode is very complicated since the operator has to set the properties of the conversion mode by himself.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problem and to provide a kana-kanji conversion processing method capable of automatically switching to a colloquial style priority mode.
[0006]
It is another object of the present invention to provide a kana-kanji conversion processing method capable of automatically switching again from the colloquial style priority mode to the standard mode in accordance with the intention of the operator.
[0007]
Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention
1) In a recording medium on which a switching program according to the present invention is recorded, it is determined whether or not a colloquial keyword stored in a rule storage unit is present in the input character string. Switch the conversion mode to colloquial style priority mode. Therefore, the operator can automatically switch the kana-kanji conversion mode simply by providing an input character string including the colloquial keyword. As a result, the operation for switching the kana-kanji conversion mode to the colloquial style priority mode is released each time.
[0008]
2) In the recording medium on which the switching program according to the present invention is recorded, the colloquial keyword is stored as a converted character string, and it is determined whether or not the colloquial keyword exists after the input character string is converted to kana-kanji. . Therefore, the kana-kanji conversion mode can be switched based on the converted character string.
[0009]
3) In the recording medium on which the switching program according to the present invention is recorded, the colloquial keyword is a frequently used character string at the time of colloquial display. Therefore, the kana-kanji conversion mode is automatically switched only by providing the input character string including the frequently used character string in the colloquial style display.
[0010]
4) In the recording medium on which the switching program according to the present invention is recorded, when the kana-kanji conversion includes a conversion candidate at the time of colloquial input and a plurality of conversion candidates at the time of the standard mode for an input character string. Then, when the conversion candidate at the time of colloquial style input is selected by the operator, the kana-kanji conversion mode is switched to the colloquial style priority mode. Therefore, the kana-kanji conversion mode is automatically switched to the colloquial style priority mode by the selection of the operator.
[0011]
5) In the recording medium on which the switching program according to the present invention is recorded, in the colloquial style priority mode, a plurality of candidates for the conversion candidate for the colloquial input and the conversion candidate for the standard mode for a certain input character string during the kana-kanji conversion. When the conversion candidate in the standard mode is selected by the operator in the case where is present, the kana-kanji conversion mode is switched to the standard mode. Therefore, the kana-kanji conversion mode is automatically switched to the standard mode by the operator's selection.
[0012]
6) In the recording medium on which the switching program according to the present invention is recorded, a switching rule for automatically switching the kana-kanji conversion mode of the Japanese IME program to the colloquial style priority mode or the standard mode is stored, and each application program is activated. When the mode is switched from the standard mode to the colloquial style priority mode based on the switching rule, a colloquial style priority mode switched flag is stored for each application program, and the current active state is set for the operation of the operator. In the case where the colloquial style priority mode switched data mode switching flag is stored for the application program, the kana-kanji conversion mode of the Japanese IME program is switched to the colloquial style priority mode. Therefore, once the application program that has been switched to the spoken language priority mode becomes active, the Japanese IME program automatically enters the spoken language priority mode.
[0013]
7) In the recording medium on which the switching program according to the present invention is recorded, a switching rule for automatically switching the kana-kanji conversion mode of the Japanese IME program to the colloquial style priority mode or the standard mode, which is newly provided. In the input character string or the kana-kanji conversion character string, when the usage frequency ratio of the colloquially frequent use character string falls below a predetermined ratio, the mode is switched from the colloquial style priority mode to the standard mode, and the newly input character string is given. This is a switching rule for switching from the standard mode to the colloquial style priority mode when a colloquially frequent use character string exists in the string or the Kana-Kanji conversion character string. Therefore, the standard mode and the colloquial style priority mode are automatically switched.
[0014]
8) The kana-kanji conversion device according to the present invention includes a colloquial keyword storage means for storing colloquial keywords, and the mode switching means includes a colloquial keyword stored in the colloquial keyword storage means in the input character string. It is determined whether or not to perform the conversion. If the conversion mode exists, the conversion mode is set to the colloquial style priority mode. Therefore, the operator can automatically switch the kana-kanji conversion mode simply by providing an input character string including the colloquial keyword. As a result, the operation for switching the kana-kanji conversion mode to the colloquial style priority mode is released each time.
[0015]
9) In the kana-kanji conversion device according to the present invention, the switching means includes, at the time of the kana-kanji conversion, a conversion candidate at the time of colloquial input for a certain input character string and a plurality of conversion candidates at the time of the standard mode. In this case, when a conversion candidate at the time of colloquial style input is selected by the operator, the kana-kanji conversion mode is switched to the colloquial style priority mode. Therefore, the kana-kanji conversion mode is automatically switched to the colloquial style priority mode by the selection of the operator.
[0016]
10) In the kana-kanji conversion device according to the present invention, the mode switching means may determine that the use frequency ratio of the colloquially frequent use character string in the newly provided input character string or kana-kanji conversion character string is equal to or less than a predetermined ratio. Switch from colloquial style priority mode to standard mode, and if a colloquial frequently used character string is present in the newly given input character string or kana-kanji conversion character string, switch from standard mode to colloquial style. Switch to priority mode. Therefore, the standard mode and the colloquial style priority mode are automatically switched.
[0017]
11) In the mode switching method of the kana-kanji conversion device according to the present invention, it is determined whether or not a colloquial keyword stored in advance is present in the input character string. Mode. Therefore, the operator can automatically switch the kana-kanji conversion mode only by giving the input character string including the colloquial keyword. As a result, the operation for switching the kana-kanji conversion mode to the colloquial style priority mode is released each time.
[0018]
12) In the mode switching method of the kana-kanji conversion device according to the present invention, at the time of the kana-kanji conversion, there are a conversion candidate at the time of colloquial input for a certain input character string and a plurality of conversion candidates at the standard mode. In this case, when a conversion candidate at the time of colloquial style input is selected by the operator, the kana-kanji conversion mode is switched to the colloquial style priority mode. Therefore, the kana-kanji conversion mode is automatically switched to the colloquial style priority mode by the selection of the operator.
[0019]
13) In the mode switching method of the kana-kanji conversion device according to the present invention, in the newly provided input character string or kana-kanji conversion character string, when the usage frequency ratio of the colloquially frequently used character string falls below a predetermined ratio. Switch from the colloquial style priority mode to the standard mode, and if the colloquially frequently used character string is present in the newly provided input character string or kana-kanji conversion character string, the standard mode is switched to the colloquial style priority mode. Switch to. Therefore, the standard mode and the colloquial style priority mode are automatically switched.
[0020]
The phrase “the spoken language keyword is present in the input character string” includes not only the case where the spoken language keyword is directly present in the input character string but also the case where it is present in the converted character string after kana-kanji conversion.
[0021]
In addition, the “string frequently used in colloquial style” refers to a character string that is often used when displaying colloquial style.
[0022]
Further, "switching a dictionary" includes not only switching a plurality of dictionaries to one, but also changing a weight when determining a conversion candidate so that a different conversion candidate is selected.
[0023]
The “active state for the operation of the operator” refers to a state in which the operator can input a character string when a plurality of application programs are started in the multitask processing, and also a single task. This includes the case where the program is running in the processing.
[0024]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
1. Explanation of functional block diagram
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The kana-kanji conversion device 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a standard mode dictionary storage unit 6, a colloquial style priority mode dictionary storage unit 5, a conversion unit 7, an input unit 3, and a switching unit 9.
[0025]
The standard mode dictionary storage means 6 stores a dictionary for converting to a standard expression. The spoken language priority mode dictionary storage means 5 stores a dictionary for preferentially converting to spoken language expressions.
[0026]
An input character string is input to the input means 3. The conversion unit 7 performs a conversion process on the input character string by using a dictionary stored in the standard mode dictionary storage unit 6 or the colloquial style priority mode dictionary storage unit 5.
[0027]
The switching unit 9 stores a mode switching rule for setting the current conversion mode to the standard mode or the colloquial style priority mode, and stores a character that matches the mode switching rule in an input character string or a converted character string. It is determined whether or not a row exists, and if so, the conversion mode is automatically switched to the colloquial style priority mode.
[0028]
As described above, by automatically switching the conversion mode based on the mode switching rule, complicated mode switching processing becomes unnecessary.
[0029]
In this case, the conversion means 7, the colloquial style priority mode dictionary storage means 5, and the standard mode dictionary storage means 6 constitute a kana-kanji conversion means. The switching means 9 constitutes a mode switching means and a colloquial keyword storage means.
[0030]
2. Hardware configuration
The hardware configuration of the kana-kanji conversion device 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is an example of a hardware configuration in which the kana-kanji conversion device 1 is realized using a CPU.
[0031]
The kana-kanji conversion device 1 includes a CPU 23, a memory 27, a hard disk 26, a CRT 30, a CDD (CD ROM drive) 25, a keyboard 28, a mouse 31, and a bus line 29. The CPU 23 controls each unit via the bus line 29 according to the kana-kanji conversion program and the mode switching program stored in the hard disk 26.
[0032]
These programs are read from the CDROM 25a in which the programs are stored via the CDD 25 and installed on the hard disk 26. Note that, other than the CDROM, a program such as a flexible disk (FD) or an IC card may be installed on a hard disk from a computer-readable recording medium in which a program is substantially integrated. Furthermore, you may make it download using a communication line.
[0033]
In the present embodiment, by installing the program from the CDROM to the hard disk 26, the computer indirectly executes the program stored in the CDROM. However, without being limited to this, the program stored in the CDROM may be directly executed from the CDD 25. Note that, as a program executable by a computer, not only a program that can be directly executed by simply installing it as it is, but also a program that needs to be once converted into another form (for example, decompresses a data-compressed program) Etc.), and also includes those that can be executed in combination with other module parts.
[0034]
The hard disk 26 has a kana-kanji conversion program storage unit 26b, a mode switching program storage unit 26m, a kana-kanji conversion dictionary 26d, and a mode switching rule storage unit 26r. The kana-kanji conversion dictionary 26d stores a colloquial and body priority mode conversion dictionary in addition to the standard mode conversion dictionary. When the input character string is given, the CPU 23 performs the kana-kanji conversion process using the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 26d based on the kana-kanji conversion program stored in the kana-kanji conversion program storage unit 26b.
[0035]
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the mode switching rule storage unit 26r stores a switching rule for switching the current conversion mode of the kana-kanji conversion program to the colloquial style priority mode or the standard mode. Each rule will be described later.
[0036]
The mode switching program storage unit 26m sets the current conversion mode of the Japanese IME program to either the standard mode or the colloquial style priority mode based on the switching rules. This processing will be described later.
[0037]
3. flowchart
Next, processing by a mode switching program stored in the mode switching program storage unit 26m of the hard disk 26 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0038]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the current conversion mode is the standard mode (step S1). If the mode is the standard mode, it is determined whether or not the mode matches the colloquial style priority mode rule shown in FIG. 3 (step S3). If any of the colloquial style priority mode rules is met, the CPU 23 switches the Japanese IME mode from the standard mode to the colloquial style priority mode (step S5).
[0039]
Each switching rule will be described. The colloquial style priority mode switching rule "1" shown in FIG. 3 is whether or not the converted character string includes a colloquial frequently used character string that is a colloquial keyword. Frequently used colloquial display character strings used in colloquial display include "hmm", "ghan", "kya", "sore", "yaya". For example, if the converted character string includes the character string "um", the character string after conversion includes the frequently used character string, so that the mode is automatically switched to the spoken language priority mode. Then, when the reading character string “Ripnamonda” is given, the reading character string “Ripnamonda” is converted into the converted character string “Excellent Namon” in the colloquial style priority mode.
[0040]
The colloquial style priority mode switching rule “2” is whether or not a colloquial style frequently used symbol that is a colloquial keyword is included in the converted character string. There are "!", "...", "♪", etc. as the colloquially frequent use symbols. For example, if the converted character string "Era!" Exists, the colloquially displayed mode frequently used symbol "!" Exists, and the mode is similarly switched to the colloquially preferred mode.
[0041]
The colloquial style priority mode switching rule “3” determines whether or not a frequently used emoticon such as “(顔 _ ＾)” or “(> _ <)” is included in the converted character string when the colloquial style is displayed. .
[0042]
When a face character is selected as the converted character string, the mode is similarly switched to the colloquial body priority mode. The input of such emoticons may be a case where the emoticons are converted using a dictionary of correspondence between readings and emoticons or a case where the emoticons are selected using an emoticon sheet of a click palette.
[0043]
The spoken style priority mode switching rule “4” is whether or not a spoken style converted word is selected as a converted character string. The colloquial conversion word refers to a conversion candidate for a colloquial style when a conversion candidate for a colloquial style and a conversion candidate for the standard mode coexist. For example, the reading character string “soh so” includes “grass” and “soh so” as conversion candidates, and the latter is a colloquially converted word. Therefore, when the operator selects the colloquial style converted word as the converted character string, the mode is similarly switched to the colloquial style priority mode.
[0044]
The colloquial style priority mode switching rule “5” is whether or not the application program whose colloquial style priority mode flag is on is in an active state. For example, once an application is automatically switched to colloquial style priority mode, in addition to the message "Switched to colloquial style priority mode", a message "Do you always use colloquial style priority mode for this application?" When "Yes" is selected, the application program is activated next time, and when the application program is activated, the mode is automatically switched to the colloquial style priority mode.
[0045]
On the other hand, if the current mode is not the standard mode but the colloquial style priority mode in step S1 of FIG. 5, the CPU 23 determines whether or not the current mode matches the standard mode rule (step S7). If any of the standard mode rules shown in FIG. 4 is matched, the CPU 23 switches the Japanese IME mode from the colloquial style priority mode to the standard mode (step S9).
[0046]
For example, the standard mode switching rules “1” and “2” are whether or not the ratio of frequently used colloquially used character strings or frequently used colloquially used symbols in the converted character string is equal to or less than a predetermined value. In the present embodiment, when switching to the colloquial style priority mode, if such a colloquial style frequently used character string or colloquial style frequently used symbol is included, the mode is switched immediately. The appearance frequency is considered. The reason why the frequency information is used is that there is no standard mode frequently used character string or standard mode frequently used symbol. For example, when chatting, colloquial words specific to colloquial text such as "sotto" and "ne" such as "let's speak" and "meet" are used. On the other hand, when the chat is ended and normal sentences are input, the ratio of the attached words decreases. This makes it possible to reliably determine the current mode.
[0047]
For example, when the number of colloquially frequent use character strings falls below a predetermined ratio of the total number of sentences, the mode may be returned to the standard mode.
[0048]
The standard mode switching rule “3” is whether or not a standard mode conversion word has been selected as a converted character string. The standard mode conversion word is a conversion candidate for the standard mode when a conversion candidate for the colloquial style and a conversion candidate for the standard mode coexist. For example, the reading character string “soh so” includes “grass” and “soh so” as conversion candidates, and the former is a standard mode conversion word. When the standard mode conversion word is selected, the mode can be switched to the standard mode at that stage. This is because the conversion intention of the operator is considered to desire conversion in the standard mode.
[0049]
The standard mode switching rule “4” is whether or not the application program in which the colloquial style priority mode flag is off is active. For example, if an application is automatically switched from colloquial style priority mode to standard mode, in addition to the message "Switched to standard mode", the message "Do you want to use standard mode for this application?" Is displayed, and when "Yes" is selected, the program is started next time, and when it becomes active, the conversion mode is automatically switched to the standard mode.
[0050]
The CPU 23 executes the mode switching program at predetermined time intervals.
[0051]
4. Second embodiment
In the above embodiment, the mode is returned to the standard mode when the number of colloquially frequently used character strings becomes equal to or less than a predetermined ratio of the total number of sentences. However, when a colloquial keyword is used, a conversion mode switching that matches the operator's intention can be performed by using the following program.
[0052]
In this case, the ratio of colloquial keywords is determined as the colloquial degree by the following equation.
[0053]
Spoken language degree = number of sentences including spoken language keywords / total number of sentences ... formula (1)
However, the number of sentences including colloquial keywords is “1” even when there are a plurality of colloquial keywords in one sentence. The number of sentences including the colloquial keyword and the total number of sentences are initialized once the mode is switched from the standard mode to the colloquial style priority mode.
[0054]
A flowchart of such a determination method will be described with reference to FIG. Here, it is assumed that the conversion is performed as shown in FIG. 7, and how the kana-kanji conversion mode of Japanese IME can be switched by taking the case of first being the standard mode as an example. I do.
[0055]
In FIG. 7, the symbol “/” indicates a line feed mark. In the present embodiment, it is determined that there is one sentence until "." Or a line feed mark is present. Therefore, the sentence in FIG. 7 includes the first sentence "Chat is over and homework is going to be done." The second sentence "I'll see you again at school." The third sentence "Essay""Bokuuchi"", the fourth sentence" 6th grade 2 sets Taro Tokushima ", the fifth sentence" I have a gate in me 6th sentence "It's a big black great gate." 7th sentence "It's often said that everyone is amazing." 8th sentence "It's my proud gate." 9th sentence " There is a cobblestone road when you enter the gate. "
[0056]
First, the CPU 23 initializes the number of sentences bk including the colloquial keywords and the total number of sentences ba (step S11). The CPU 23 determines whether a sentence has been given (step S13). In this case, when the first sentence “Chat is over and homework is done” is given, CPU 23 increments the total number of sentences ba (step S15). Thus, the total number of sentences ba = 1.
[0057]
The CPU 23 determines whether the current kana-kanji conversion mode is the standard mode (step S17). Since the mode is the standard mode at this stage, the CPU 23 determines whether or not at least one colloquial keyword exists in the first sentence (step S19). In this case, since there are two colloquial keywords "chatte" and "tsuto" in the first sentence, the CPU 23 sets the current mode to the colloquial style priority mode (step S21). The CPU 23 sets the number of sentences bk including the colloquial keyword and the total number of sentences ba to bk = 1 and ba = 1, respectively. (Step S23).
[0058]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the next sentence is given (step S13). When the second sentence "I'll see you again at school" is given, the CPU 23 increments the total sentence number ba ( Step S15). Thus, the total number of sentences ba = 2.
[0059]
The CPU 23 determines whether the current kana-kanji conversion mode is the standard mode (step S17). Since it is currently in the colloquial style priority mode, the CPU 23 determines whether at least one colloquial keyword exists in the second sentence "I'll see you again at school" (step S25). In this case, since there is one colloquial keyword "ne" in the second sentence, the number of sentences bk including the colloquial keyword is incremented (step S27).
[0060]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the next sentence is given (step S13). When the third sentence "sentence" I am out of me "" is given, the CPU 23 increments the total sentence number ba (step S15). Thus, the total number of sentences ba = 3. The CPU 23 determines whether the current kana-kanji conversion mode is the standard mode (step S17). Since the mode is currently in the colloquial style priority mode, the CPU 23 determines whether at least one colloquial style keyword exists in the third sentence (step S25). In this case, since there is no spoken language keyword, the spoken language degree kd is calculated (step S29). The colloquial somatic degree kd can be obtained by the above equation (1).
[0061]
At present, the total number of sentences ba = 3 and the number of sentences including colloquial keywords bk = 2, so that the colloquial score kd is calculated as kd = 2/3 = 0.66.
[0062]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the spoken language degree kd> 0.5 (step S31). In this case, since the spoken language degree kd> 0.5, the process proceeds to step S13. That is, the current mode is maintained as the colloquial style priority mode.
[0063]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the next sentence is given (step S13), and when the fourth sentence "6th grade 2 sets Tokushima Taro" is given, increments the total sentence number ba (step S15). Thus, the total number of sentences ba = 4.
[0064]
The CPU 23 determines whether the current kana-kanji conversion mode is the standard mode (step S17). Since the present mode is the spoken style priority mode, the CPU 23 determines whether at least one spoken style keyword exists in the fourth sentence (step S25). In this case, since there is no spoken language keyword, the spoken language degree kd is calculated (step S29). At present, since the total number of sentences ba = 4 and the number of sentences including colloquial keywords bk = 2, the colloquial score kd is calculated as kd = 2/4 = 0.5.
[0065]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the spoken language degree kd> 0.5 (step S31). In this case, since the spoken language degree kd> 0.5 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S33, and the current mode is set to the standard mode.
[0066]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the next sentence is given (step S13). When the fifth sentence "I have a gate" is given, the total sentence number ba is incremented (step S15). Thus, the total number of sentences ba = 5. The CPU 23 determines whether the current kana-kanji conversion mode is the standard mode (step S17). Since the current mode is the standard mode, the CPU 23 determines whether at least one colloquial keyword exists in the fifth sentence (step S19). In this case, since at least one colloquial keyword does not exist, the process proceeds to step S13.
[0067]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the next sentence is given (step S13). When the sixth sentence "It is a big black splendid gate" is given, the CPU 23 increments the total sentence number ba (step S15). Thus, the total number of sentences ba = 6. The CPU 23 determines whether the current kana-kanji conversion mode is the standard mode (step S17). Since the current mode is the standard mode, the CPU 23 determines whether or not at least one colloquial keyword exists in the sixth sentence (step S19). Since at least one colloquial keyword does not exist, the process proceeds to step S13.
[0068]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the next sentence is given (step S13), and when the seventh sentence "It is often said that everyone is amazing" is given, the total sentence number ba is incremented (step S15). . Thus, the total number of sentences ba = 7. The CPU 23 determines whether the current kana-kanji conversion mode is the standard mode (step S17). Since the current mode is the standard mode, the CPU 23 determines whether at least one colloquial keyword exists in the seventh sentence (step S19).
[0069]
In this case, since the colloquial keyword "ne" exists in the seventh sentence, the CPU 23 sets the current mode to the colloquial style priority mode (step S21). The CPU 23 sets the number of sentences bk including the colloquial keyword and the total number of sentences ba to bk = 1 and ba = 1, respectively. (Step S23).
[0070]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the next sentence is given (step S13). When the eighth sentence "I am a proud gate" is given, the CPU 23 increments the total sentence number ba (step S13). Step S15). Thus, the total number of sentences ba = 2.
[0071]
The CPU 23 determines whether the current kana-kanji conversion mode is the standard mode (step S17). Since the colloquial style priority mode is currently set, the CPU 23 determines whether or not at least one colloquial keyword exists in the eighth sentence "I am a proud gate." (Step S25). In this case, since the eighth sentence does not include the spoken language keyword, the spoken language degree kd is calculated (step S29). At present, since the total number of sentences ba = 2 and the number of sentences including colloquial keywords bk = 1, the colloquial score kd is calculated as kd = 1/2 = 0.5.
[0072]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the spoken language degree kd> 0.5 (step S31). In this case, since the spoken language degree kd> 0.5 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S33, and the current mode is set to the standard mode.
[0073]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the next sentence is given (step S13), and when the ninth sentence "I enter the gate, the cobblestone road continues.", Increments the total sentence number ba (step S13). S15). Thus, the total number of sentences ba = 3. The CPU 23 determines whether the current kana-kanji conversion mode is the standard mode (step S17). Since the current mode is the standard mode, the CPU 23 determines whether at least one colloquial keyword exists in the ninth sentence (step S19). In this case, since the ninth sentence does not include the colloquial keyword, the colloquialty degree kd is calculated (step S29). At present, the total number of sentences ba = 3 and the number of sentences including colloquial keywords bk = 1, so that the colloquial somatic degree kd is calculated as kd = 1/3 = 0.33.
[0074]
The CPU 23 determines whether or not the spoken language degree kd> 0.5 (step S31). In this case, since the spoken language degree kd> 0.5 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S33, and the current mode is set to the standard mode.
[0075]
Thus, the kana-kanji conversion mode can be switched.
[0076]
As is clear from the above description, it is difficult to return to the standard mode as the sentences including at least one colloquial keyword continue. In other words, as the colloquial input continues, the state of the colloquial priority mode continues longer. For example, if three sentences including the colloquial keyword continue and three sentences that do not include the colloquial keyword from the fourth sentence continue, the colloquial somatic degree becomes 0.5 at the sixth sentence, and the mode returns to the standard mode. On the other hand, if four sentences containing the colloquial keyword continue and four sentences without the colloquial keyword continue from the fifth sentence, the sixth document does not return to the standard mode, and the eighth document does not return to the standard mode. Return to
[0077]
Note that the spoken language degree was determined based on the number of documents including the spoken language keyword with respect to the total number of sentences. This means that just because one sentence contains many keywords does not mean that it has a higher colloquial sophistication than one that contains only one keyword, and that the next sentence is a colloquial expression. This is because it has nothing to do with the number of keywords in the previous sentence. As a result, it is possible to prevent the spoken language degree from being influenced by the number of spoken language keywords in one sentence, and to appropriately return to the standard mode.
[0078]
In addition, the threshold value of the spoken language degree is not limited to 0.5.
[0079]
In FIG. 6, only the case where a colloquial keyword is used has been described, but other switching rules in FIGS. 3 and 4 may be combined as the or condition.
[0080]
4. Other embodiments
In the conversion mode switching determination process, if the conversion process is performed, it may be determined whether or not the conversion mode matches the rules shown in FIGS.

As a mode switching rule, a rule may be stored in relation to a reading character string, and the above-described determination may be made at the stage of inputting a reading character string.
[0082]
Further, when a plurality of sentences are converted at once, for example, when the first to sixth sentences are given at a stretch as a reading character string and a conversion key is pressed, the conversion is once performed in the current conversion mode. Alternatively, the automatic switching determination may be made for each sentence. In this case, if the conversion mode is switched in the middle, the subsequent sentence may be converted again from the morphological analysis.
[0083]
In the present embodiment, when the conversion mode is switched, the adjunct “na” connected to the adjective verb is not changed from the standard mode to the colloquial style priority mode, while the dictionary of nouns and the like remains unchanged. The adjunct that is linked to is now determined to be "Namon" from "Na".
[0084]
Whether or not the emoticon “(＾ _ ＾)”, “(> _ <)” or the like is included is determined not only by determining whether the character is present in the converted character string, but also by inputting an input screen to the click palette. Alternatively, it may be determined whether or not to be selected.
[0085]
Further, in the present embodiment, the kana-kanji conversion program in the kana-kanji conversion device is constituted by a program different from the kana-kanji conversion program. It can also be a kanji conversion program.
[0086]
Further, a part of the processing of the program may be performed by an operating system (OS).
