  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view showing the structure of a pointing device 100 (which takes the shape of a mouse as an example, but is not limited to this shape) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the pointing device 100 includes a cover 101, a left button 102, a right button 103, a Kanji conversion button 104, a character input button 105, an interface cable 106, and a ball 107.

  The left button 102 and the right button 103 are buttons provided in a normal mouse, respectively. While the character input button 105 is being pressed, for example, the locus of the pointing device 100 is input by the movement of the ball 107 built in the pointing device 100. When the Kanji conversion button 104 is clicked, conversion candidates are displayed on a display or the like. When the Kanji conversion button 104 is double-clicked, the displayed conversion candidate is confirmed. The interface cable 106 connects the pointing device 100 and the data processing apparatus 200 (for example, a computer). As the interface specification, for example, USB is applicable.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the pointing device 100. Referring to FIG. 2, the pointing device 100 includes a conversion unit 111 and an interface signal creation unit 112. The conversion unit 111 converts a mechanical state such as a click / press from the left button 102, right button 103, kanji conversion button 104, and character input button 105, movement of the ball 107 into a signal that is an electrical state. And output as a status signal.

  The conversion of a mechanical state into a signal that is an electrical state itself can be realized by ordinary techniques. The interface signal creation unit 112 receives a status signal, creates an interface signal of interface specifications (for example, USB), and outputs the interface signal to the interface cable 106.

  Next, a character input system 500 to which the pointing device 100 is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the character input system 500. Referring to FIG. 3, a character input system 500 includes a pointing device 100, a data processing device 200, a storage device 300 (for example, a memory), and an output device 400 (for example, a display).

  The data processing device 200 includes an operation processing unit 21, a character locus collection unit 22, and a character locus determination unit 23. The storage device 300 includes an input locus storage unit 31, a recognition character storage unit 32, a conversion character data storage unit 33, and a kanji conversion dictionary 34. When the character input button 105 is pressed, the processing of the left button 102 and the right button 103 is suppressed.

  Next, the operation of the data processing apparatus 200 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 4 and 5 are flowcharts showing the operation of the data processing apparatus 200. FIG. First, the operation processing means 21 inputs an interface signal via the interface cable 106 (step S1 in FIG. 4).

  Next, the operation processing means 21 analyzes the interface signal and determines whether or not the character input button 105 is being pressed (step S2). If the operation processing means 21 determines that the character input button 105 is being pressed (step S2 / Yes), the character trajectory sampling is performed as an internal format operation information that can be input to the character trajectory sampling means 22. It outputs to the means 22 (step S3).

  The character trajectory collecting unit 22 detects whether or not the operation information is output from the operation processing unit 21 (step S4), and determines that the operation information is output (step S4 / Yes), the pointing device 100 from the operation information. Is extracted (step S5), and is stored in the input locus storage unit 31 as character locus information (step S6). The character trajectory collecting means 22 continues to store the character trajectory information while the operation information continues to be output (step S7 / No).

  Here, it is possible to determine whether or not the operation information continues to be output by detecting whether or not the operation information is output within a certain period of time.

  When the character trajectory collecting unit 22 detects that the operation information that has been output until now is not output (step S7 / Yes), it outputs a character determination instruction to the character trajectory determination unit 23 (step S8). .

  When the character trajectory determining unit 23 receives a character determination instruction from the character trajectory collecting unit 22, the character trajectory determining unit 23 reads the character trajectory information stored by the character trajectory collecting unit 22 from the input trajectory storage unit 31 (step S9). Next, the character locus determination means 23 searches the character data group in the recognition character storage unit 32 and extracts the character data most similar to the character locus information (step S10).

  Next, the character locus determination means 23 stores the extracted character data in the conversion character data storage unit 33 (step S11). Further, the extracted character data is output to the output device 400 together with a display instruction to the output device 400 (step S12). Here, the character data is character data to be converted into kanji such as alphabet or hiragana.

  When the output device 400 receives the character data and the display instruction from the character locus determination means 23, the output device 400 displays the character corresponding to the character data at the cursor position (step S13). At this time, if a character to be converted into Kanji is already displayed, the character is displayed immediately after the character.

  If the operation processing means 21 determines that the character input button 105 has not been pressed (step S2 / No), it determines whether the kanji conversion button 104 has been clicked (step S21 in FIG. 5). . When the operation processing means 21 determines that “the Kanji conversion button 104 is not clicked” (step S21 / No), the operation processing means 21 executes normal processing relating to the left button 102, the right button 103, and the ball 107 (step S21). S22).

  If the operation processing means 21 determines that “the Kanji conversion button 104 is clicked” (step S21 / Yes), it determines “whether it is a single click or a double click” (step S23). . If the operation processing means 21 determines that it is a single click (step S23 / Yes), it reads a character data string (alphabet or hiragana string) stored in the conversion character data storage unit 33 (step S24). ) Using the kanji conversion dictionary 34, the character data string is converted into k-th candidate data (step S25). Here, n indicates conversion to kanji data corresponding to the n-th single click with respect to one character data string.

  Next, the operation processing means 21 outputs kanji data to the output device 400 together with a display instruction (step S26). When inputting the kanji data and the display instruction, the output device 400 replaces “characters to be converted into kanji (alphabet or hiragana)” with kanji (conversion candidates) corresponding to the kanji data and is not fixed. (Step S27).

  If the operation processing means 21 determines that it is a double click (step S23 / No), the operation processing means 21 outputs a confirmation instruction for setting the kanji displayed at that time to the “confirmed state” to the output device 400 (step S28). ). When receiving the confirmation instruction from the operation processing means 21, the output device 400 displays the kanji (conversion candidate) displayed at that time in a confirmed state (step S29). The display of the confirmed state and the display of the non-confirmed state can be distinguished by, for example, normal display and reverse display.

  For the k-th candidate kanji character, for example, the space key of the keyboard or the left button 102 can be used without using the kanji conversion button 104. For the “determined state”, for example, the enter key of the keyboard or the right button 103 can be used without using the Kanji conversion button 104.

  Note that the above-described operation processing means 21, character trajectory collection means 22, and character trajectory determination means 23 can be realized as programs executed on the data processing apparatus 200. In this case, the program is stored in the storage device 300 and executed by the processor of the data processing device 200.

  Next, a locus corresponding to “characters to be converted into kanji” will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a locus corresponding to “characters to be converted into kanji”. Referring to FIG. 6, from the left, the trajectories correspond to alphabets “A”, “B”, and “C”. When the character input button 105 is pressed, there is one character, so the locus is a single stroke. In the character storage unit for recognition 32, character data corresponding to the stroke of one stroke is stored in a database format.

  Next, “characters to be converted into kanji” and “kanji that are conversion candidates” displayed on the output device 400 will be described. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a display on the output device 400. Referring to FIG. 7A, “SAIGYO”, which is “characters to be converted into kanji”, is highlighted at the cursor position. Referring to FIG. 7B, “West” of “Kanji as a conversion candidate” is highlighted at the cursor position. Referring to FIG. 7 (c), the confirmed Chinese character “West” is normally displayed.

  Next, an example of the configuration of one part of the conversion unit 111 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a part of the conversion unit 111. Referring to FIG. 8, an insulated spring 600 is attached to the Kanji conversion button 104. When the Kanji conversion button 104 is pressed, the line 601 and the line 602 become conductive, the current from the power source 603 flows through the line 601 and the line 602, and the mechanical state is converted into an electrical state.

  Here, if the interface specification is, for example, USB, the power supply 603 can be supplied from the data processing device 200.

  The configuration in which the pointing device 100 includes both the kanji conversion button 104 and the character input button 105 has been described above. However, the pointing device 100 has either the kanji conversion button 104 or the character input button 105. A configuration including this is also possible. When the pointing device 100 does not have the character input button 105, character input of “characters to be converted into Kanji” is performed from a keyboard or the like (not shown).

  As described above, by providing the pointing device 100 with the Kanji conversion button 104, the present invention has the following effects.

  (1) The operator inputs “characters to be converted into kanji” from the keyboard or the like using the left hand (or right hand), and uses the right hand (or left hand) of the pointing device 100 of the present invention. When Kanji conversion (display of candidates for Kanji conversion) is performed by clicking the Kanji conversion button 104, each hand can be shared and used, so that the operability is improved.

  (2) When the operator performs character input of “characters to be converted into kanji” from the pointing device 100 (using pressing of the character input button 105) using the left hand (or right hand), Kanji conversion (displaying Kanji conversion candidates and / or confirming conversion candidates) can be performed without using keyboard keys, allowing character input and Kanji conversion with one-handed operation. Has the effect of improving.
