[Operation of the embodiment]
Hereinafter, an operation when creating a document in which gradation is added to a character string in the information processing apparatus 1 will be described. First, when the user of the information processing apparatus 1 operates the operation unit 106 and performs an operation to instruct execution of the word processor program P1, the CPU 102 reads the word processor program P1 from the storage unit 105 and executes it. When the word processor program P1 is executed by the CPU 102, the display unit 107 is controlled, and a window having a text input area and various toolbars is displayed on the display unit 107 as illustrated in FIG. After the window illustrated in FIG. 2 is displayed, when the user operates the keyboard of the operation unit 106 and inputs, for example, the character string “Nagasaki is raining today”, the character string input as illustrated in FIG. Is displayed on the display unit 107.

  When adding color and gradation to an input character string, the user first selects a character string to which color and gradation are added. Specifically, the user operates the mouse of the operation unit 106 and moves a mouse pointer (not shown) displayed on the display unit 107. Then, when the mouse pointer is moved to the beginning of the character string to which the color and gradation are added, the mouse pointer is moved to the end of the character string while keeping the mouse button pressed, and then the mouse button is released. For example, after moving the mouse pointer to the beginning of the character string “Nagasaki is still raining” shown in FIG. 3, hold down the mouse button and move the mouse pointer to the end of the character string and release the button. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the character string “Nagasaki is still raining today” is selected, and the character string from the beginning to the end of the character string is inverted and displayed.

  Next, when the user performs an operation of clicking the “Format” item on the toolbar of the window in the state where the character string is inverted as shown in FIG. 4, a pull-down is performed as illustrated in FIG. A menu is displayed. Then, when the user performs an operation of clicking the “font” item in the pull-down menu, a menu screen for performing settings relating to characters is displayed as shown in FIG. Here, when the user performs an operation of clicking the “tone” check box C1 in FIG. 6 and then clicking the OK button in FIG. 6, the CPU 102 is displayed in an inverted manner. A process (FIG. 7) for adding color and gradation to the character string being executed is executed. In this embodiment, when adding color and gradation to a character string, the character color is changed in the order of red → yellow → green → blue from the beginning to the end of the character string, and until it changes from red to blue. The number of gradations is 50. However, the number of colors and the number of gradations are not limited to these numbers. For example, the number of colors may be 3 or less or 5 or more, and the number of gradations is 49 or less or 51 or more. Also good.

When adding color and gradation to a character string, the CPU 102 first stores the character string displayed in reverse in the RAM 104 (FIG. 7: Step SA1). Then, the CPU 102 performs a morphological analysis of the character string stored in the RAM 104, and divides the character string into a plurality of elements in a predetermined unit. For example, in the present embodiment, the predetermined unit is “part of speech”, and the character string is divided in units of this part of speech (step SA2).
For example, in the case of the character string “Nagasaki is rain today” shown in FIG. 6, the character string is divided into five words such as “Nagasaki”, “ha”, “today”, “mo”, “rain”. Divided. When the CPU 102 divides the character string, it determines for each word whether the divided word is an independent word or an attached word (step SA3). For example, in the case of the words “Nagasaki”, “ha”, “today”, “mo”, “rain”, “Nagasaki”, “today”, “rain” are independent words, “ha”, “mo” are attached words, etc. Is determined. When the CPU 102 determines the type of each word as an independent word or an adjunct word, as shown in FIG. 8, when the word is an independent word, the type information indicating the independent word is stored in the RAM 104. If the word is an attached word, the type information indicating the attached word is stored in association with the attached word stored in the RAM 104 (step SA4).

  After determining the type of each word, the CPU 102 sets the number of gradations to be assigned to each word next. Specifically, the CPU 102 first divides a predetermined number of gradations (50 in this embodiment) by the number of words to determine the number of gradations to be assigned to one word (step SA5). For example, in the case of the character string “Nagasaki is still rainy” described above, the number of words is 5 and the number of gradations is 50. Therefore, the number of gradations assigned to one word at this point is 10. .

  Next, the CPU 102 changes the number of independent words and the number of attached words to make it easier to read the character string to which the gradation is added. Specifically, first, the number of gradations assigned to the independent word in step SA5 is divided by 2, and the quotient obtained by the division is subtracted from the gradation number assigned in step SA5. Then, the number obtained by subtraction is set as the number of gradations to be assigned to the independent words, and stored in the RAM 104 in association with the independent words (step SA6). For example, in the case of “Nagasaki”, “Today”, and “Rain”, the number of gradations assigned to the independent word in step SA5 is 10, so the gradation number assigned to the independent word is 10−10 / 2 = 5. The number of gradations is stored in association with the independent words stored in the RAM 104 as shown in FIG.

  Next, the CPU 102 changes the number of gradations of the attached word (step SA7). Specifically, the CPU 102 adds the number of gradations subtracted from each independent word, and divides the total by the number of attached words. For example, since 5 is subtracted from “Nagasaki”, “Today”, and “Rain”, the total number subtracted from each independent word is 15. When the CPU 102 divides 15 by the number 2 of the attached words (“ha” and “mo”), 7 is obtained as the quotient and 1 as the remainder as a result of the division. The CPU 102 adds the quotient obtained by the division to the number of gradations assigned to the attached word in step SA5, sets the number obtained by the addition as the number of gradations assigned to the attached word, and associates it with the attached word in the RAM 104. Store. Here, the numbers of gradations of “ha” and “mo” are both 10 + 7 = 17, and the number of gradations is stored in association with the attached words stored in the RAM 104 as shown in FIG.

  Next, the CPU 102 performs a process of coloring the character string selected with the mouse according to the number of gradations stored in the RAM 104 (step SA8). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the CPU 102 extracts the color of the number of gradations stored in association with the word from the colors of 50 gradations from 1 to 50, and uses the extracted color for each word. Will be allocated. In FIG. 9, the colors of 50 gradations change from left to right in the order of red → yellow → green → blue, and numbers 1 to 50 are assigned to each gradation. Yes.

  For example, in the case of the word “Nagasaki”, since the number of gradations assigned to this word is 5, the CPU 102 changes the colors of numbers 1 to 5 to the word “Nagasaki” as shown in FIG. assign. When the CPU 102 determines the color to be assigned to the word “Nagasaki”, as shown in FIG. 10, the CPU 102 equally divides the width of the character “Nagasaki” by the determined number of colors, and assigns 1 to 5 to the divided areas. Assign a color. Then, the character outline in the equally divided area is colored with the assigned color. As a result, the word “Nagasaki” is colored in five gradations.

  For example, in the case of the word “ha”, since the number of gradations assigned to this word is 17, the CPU 102 assigns colors 6 to 23 to the word “ha” as shown in FIG. . When the CPU 102 determines the color to be assigned to the word “ha”, as shown in FIG. 11, the width of the character “ha” is equally divided by the determined number of colors, and 6 to 23 are divided into the equally divided areas. Assign a color. Then, the character outline in the equally divided area is colored with the assigned color. As a result, the word “ha” is colored with 17 gradations.

  The CPU 102 also colors each word according to the number of gradations assigned to each word, as in the case of “Nagasaki” or “ha”, for the other words “today”, “mo”, and “rain”. When the CPU 102 finishes coloring all the words, it displays the colored character string on the display unit 107 (step SA9). Here, the colored independent words have fewer gradations than the attached words, and thus are easy to read when viewed with human eyes.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the information processing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the operation is only different from that of the first embodiment, and the hardware configuration is the same as that of the information processing apparatus 1 of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the following description, only operations different from those of the first embodiment will be described, and description of the same operations as those of the hardware configuration and the first embodiment will be omitted.

  In the present embodiment, when coloring a character string with a gradation, the user selects the character string and then performs an operation of clicking the “with gradation” check box C1 in FIG. When an operation of clicking the OK button in the middle is performed, the CPU 102 executes a process of adding a color and a gradation to the character string displayed in reverse (FIG. 12).

  First, the highlighted character string is stored in the RAM 104 (FIG. 12: step SB1). The CPU 102 performs morphological analysis of the character string stored in the RAM 104, and divides the character string into parts of speech (step SB2). For example, in the case of the character string “Nagasaki, Kumamoto is also rainy today”, the character string has six words such as “Nagasaki”, “Kumamoto”, “ha”, “today”, “mo”, “rain”. It is divided into. When dividing the character string, the CPU 102 determines, for each word, whether the divided word is an independent word or an attached word (step SB3). For example, in the case of the words “Nagasaki”, “Kumamoto”, “ha”, “today”, “mo”, “rain”, “Nagasaki”, “Kumamoto”, “today”, “rain” are independent words, “ha” “ "" Is identified as an attached word. When the CPU 102 determines the type of each word as an independent word or an attached word, if the word is an independent word, the CPU 102 associates the type information indicating the independent word with the independent word stored in the RAM 104. If the word is an attached word, the type information indicating the attached word is stored in association with the attached word stored in the RAM 104 (step SB4).

  When the CPU 102 determines the type of each word, the CPU 102 then combines the independent words that are continuous in the character string into one (step SB5). Here, in the case of the character string “Nagasaki, Kumamoto is still raining today”, there are portions where independent words are continued, such as “Nagasaki” and “Kumamoto” in the character string. When the CPU 102 analyzes the word and type information stored in the RAM 104 and finds a portion where independent words are continued in the character string, the consecutive words are collectively shown as one word in FIG. As shown in FIG.

  When the processing of step SB5 is completed, CPU 102 determines the number of gradations to be assigned to each word next. Specifically, first, the CPU 102 divides a predetermined number of gradations by the number of words to determine the number of gradations to be assigned to one word (step SB6). For example, in the case of the above-described character string “Nagasaki, Kumamoto is still rainy today”, the words “Nagasaki” and “Kumamoto” are combined into one, so the number of words is five. Since the number of gradations is 50, the number of gradations assigned to one word at this time is 10.

  Next, the CPU 102 changes the number of independent words and the number of attached words to make it easier to read the character string with the gradation. Specifically, first, the number of gradations assigned to the independent word in step SB6 is divided by 2, and the quotient obtained by the calculation is subtracted from the gradation number assigned in step SB6. Then, the number obtained by subtraction is set as the number of gradations to be assigned to the independent words, and stored in the RAM 104 in association with the independent words (step SB7). For example, in the case of “Nagasaki, Kumamoto”, “Today”, “Rain”, the number of gradations assigned to the independent word in step SB6 is 10, so the number of gradations assigned to the independent word is 10−10 / 2 = 5. The number of gradations is stored in association with the independent words stored in the RAM 104 as shown in FIG.

  Next, the CPU 102 changes the number of gradations of the attached word (step SB8). Specifically, the CPU 102 adds the number subtracted from each independent word, and divides the total by the number of attached words. For example, since 5 is subtracted from “Nagasaki, Kumamoto”, “Today”, and “Rain”, the total number subtracted from each independent word is 15. When the CPU 102 divides 15 by the number 2 of the attached words (“ha” and “mo”), 7 is obtained as the quotient and 1 as the remainder as a result of the division. The CPU 102 adds the quotient obtained by the division to the number of gradations assigned to the attached word in step SB6, sets the number obtained by the addition as the number of gradations assigned to the attached word, and associates it with the attached word in the RAM 104. Store. Here, the numbers of gradations of “ha” and “mo” are both 10 + 7 = 17, and the number of gradations is stored in association with the attached words stored in the RAM 104 as shown in FIG.

  Next, the CPU 102 performs a process of coloring the character string selected by the mouse according to the number of gradations stored in the RAM 104 (step SB9). Here, the CPU 102 extracts the color of the number of gradations stored in association with the word from the 50 gradation colors from 1 to 50, and assigns the extracted color to each word.

  For example, in the case of the word “Nagasaki, Kumamoto”, since the number of gradations assigned to this word is 5, the CPU 102 assigns the colors of numbers 1 to 5 to the word “Nagasaki, Kumamoto”. When the CPU 102 determines the color to be assigned to the word “Nagasaki, Kumamoto”, the CPU 102 equally divides the width of the characters “Nagasaki, Kumamoto” by the determined number of colors, and assigns colors 1 to 5 to the equally divided areas. Then, the character outline in the equally divided area is colored with the assigned color. As a result, the words “Nagasaki, Kumamoto” are colored in five gradations. The coloring of the character string after “ha” is the same as that in the first embodiment, and the description of the operation is omitted.

  When the coloring to all the words is completed, the CPU 102 displays the colored character string on the display unit 107 (step SB10). Here, the colored independent words “Nagasaki, Kumamoto” have fewer gradations than the attached words, and are easy to read when viewed with human eyes.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the information processing apparatus 1 according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the operation is only different from that of the first embodiment, and the hardware configuration is the same as that of the information processing apparatus 1 of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the following description, only operations different from those of the first embodiment will be described, and description of the same operations as those of the hardware configuration and the first embodiment will be omitted.

  In the present embodiment, when coloring the character string “Nagasaki is still rainy today” with a gradation, the user selects the character string and then clicks the “graded” check box C1 in FIG. After performing the operation, when an operation of clicking the OK button in FIG. 6 is performed, the CPU 102 executes a process of adding a color and a gradation to the character string displayed in an inverted manner (FIG. 14).

  Here, the operation (step SA1 to step SA5) from storing the highlighted character string in the RAM 104 to calculating the number of gradations assigned to one word is the same as in the first embodiment. . When the process of step SA5 ends, the CPU 102 executes the process of step SA8 without performing the processes of step SA6 and step SA7 in the first embodiment. In addition, since the process of step SA6 and step SA7, ie, the process of changing the number of gradations of independent words and attached words, is not performed, the number of gradations assigned to each word is 10.

  The CPU 102 extracts the color of the number of gradations stored in association with the word from the 50 gradation colors from 1 to 50, and assigns the extracted color to each word. For example, in the case of the word “Nagasaki”, since the number of gradations assigned to this word is 10, the CPU 102 changes the color of numbers 1 to 10 to the word “Nagasaki” as shown in FIG. Assign to. When the CPU 102 determines the color to be assigned to the word “Nagasaki”, the CPU 102 equally divides the width of the character “Nagasaki” by the determined number of colors, and assigns colors 1 to 10 to the equally divided areas. Then, the character outline in the equally divided area is colored with the assigned color. As a result, the word “Nagasaki” is colored with 10 gradations.

  Further, for example, in the case of the word “ha”, since the number of gradations assigned to this word is 10, the CPU 102 changes the colors 11 to 20 to the word “ha” as shown in FIG. assign. When the CPU 102 determines the color to be assigned to the word “ha”, the width of the character “ha” is equally divided by the determined number of colors, and the colors 11 to 20 are assigned to the equally divided areas. Then, the character outline in the equally divided area is colored with the assigned color. As a result, the word “ha” is colored with 10 gradations.

  The CPU 102 also colors each word according to the number of gradations assigned to each word, as in the case of “Nagasaki” or “ha”, for the other words “today”, “mo”, and “rain”. When the CPU 102 finishes coloring all the words, it displays the colored character string on the display unit 107 (step SA9).

[Modification]
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, It can implement with another various form. For example, the present invention may be implemented by modifying the above-described embodiment as follows.

As for the number of gradations, the user may input the number of gradations by operating the keyboard of the operation unit 106, and the input number of gradations may be assigned to the character string.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, when an operation of clicking the OK button in FIG. 6 is performed after an operation of clicking the check box C1 with “gradation” is performed, as illustrated in FIG. In addition, the scroll bar B may be displayed next to the character string selected by the user. When the slider S of the scroll bar B is moved up and down by a mouse operation, the number of gradations to be added to the character string may be increased or decreased according to the position of the slider S.

In the second embodiment described above, the number of gradations subtracted from one independent word in step SB7 may be assigned to the attached words before and after the independent word. For example, in the above-described embodiment, in the case of the character string “Nagasaki is still raining today”, the gradation number subtracted from “Nagasaki” is added to “ha”, and the gradation number subtracted from “Today”. 3 may be added to “ha” and 2 may be added to “mo”, and 5 which is the number of gradations subtracted from “rain” may be added to “mo”. According to this aspect, the number of gradations of “Nagasaki” is 5, the number of gradations of “ha” is 10 + 5 + 3 = 18, the number of gradations of “today” is 5, and the number of gradations of “mo” is 10 + 2 + 5 = 17. The number of gradations of “rain” is 5. Here, the colored independent words “Nagasaki” and “Today,“ Rain ”have fewer gradations than the attached words, so that they are easy to read when viewed with human eyes.
In the third embodiment described above, a predetermined number of gradations may be assigned to each word.

  In the above-described embodiment, the communication unit 110 may receive document information including information representing a character string and information indicating the start position and end position of the character string to which gradation is added. Then, the character string to which the gradation is added is specified based on the information indicating the start position and the end position of the character string to which the gradation is applied, and the gradation is applied to the specified character string in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment. It may be.

  In the embodiment described above, when the number of words in the character string is greater than the number of gradations, one gradation may be assigned to one word. For example, if the number of colors and the gradation when adding gradation to a word are four gradations of “red, yellow, green, and blue” each with one gradation, the character string “Nagasaki is raining today” When adding gradation, “Nagasaki” is “red”, “ha” is “yellow”, “today” is “green”, “mo” is “blue”, “rain” is “red”, etc. You may make it attach.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the information processing apparatus 1 is a personal computer apparatus, but may be an apparatus other than a personal computer as long as it can execute the processes shown in FIGS. .

  The above-described program for realizing the function of adding color and gradation to the character string may be distributed by being recorded on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory). The information processing apparatus 1 may be provided with a reading device that reads a program stored in a recording medium, and the program stored in the CD-ROM may be read by the reading device and installed in the storage unit 105. Note that the recording medium on which the program for realizing the function of adding the color and gradation to the character string is recorded is not limited to the CD-ROM. Other recording media such as a flexible disk, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), and an IC card incorporating a flash ROM may be used. In addition, a program for realizing a function for adding color and gradation to a character string may be downloaded from a server device connected to a communication network and installed.

  In the above-described embodiment, a program that realizes the function of adding color and gradation to a character string may be modularized to be a program different from the word processor program P1, and this program may be stored in the storage unit 105. When adding color and gradation to a character string, the CPU 102 executing the word processor program P1 executes a modularized program, thereby realizing a function of adding color and gradation to the character string. You may make it do.

In the above-described embodiment, Japanese morphological analysis is performed and colors and gradations are assigned to each word. However, morphological analysis is also performed for languages other than English so that colors and gradations are assigned to each word. May be. In this case, the unit for dividing the character string is “word”.
In the above-described embodiment, the unit for dividing the character string is “part of speech”, but the unit for dividing the character string is not limited to the part of speech. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the character string is divided by setting a predetermined unit when dividing the character string to “phrase” or “sentence”, and the number of gradations is set for each divided clause or sentence. You may make it do.
Also, nouns may be colored with a gradation equal to or less than a predetermined number of gradations.
