Description

The present invention relates to a kanji conversion device, a kanji conversion method, and a program.

In recent years, pop culture such as manga, anime, fashion, etc., as well as Japanese culture such as food culture and traditional crafts, has been highly evaluated overseas, especially in Europe and America and Asian countries. In addition, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry established the Cool Japan Office, which promotes the advancement of Japanese cultural industries and human resource development, and as a part of Japan's growth strategy, Japan's unique culture is directed overseas. It is mentioned that efforts to disseminate are strengthened, and the phenomenon is expected to expand further in the future.

Against the backdrop of such overseas appreciation of Japan's unique culture, an increasing number of foreigners are interested in Japanese because they want to better understand Japanese culture. In particular, Japanese kanji has become an object of interest that symbolizes Japanese culture for foreigners, and one of the reasons is that the appearance of kanji has been accepted as a design reminiscent of foreign aesthetics. It has become one. For this reason, an increasing number of such foreigners wish to wear Kanji against their names, etc., and to wear clothes such as T-shirts printed with the Kanji. Demand for products and services related to such kanji is beginning to appear.

However, while the appearance design of kanji is attracting attention, few foreigners understand the meaning of kanji correctly. If the adopted kanji has a negative meaning, it is feared that a foreigner who later knew that would diminish their interest in kanji and eventually Japanese culture. Moreover, if such cases increase, it may lead to a decline in the image of Japanese culture as a whole. The reason for this happening is that the meaning of kanji is neglected and the kanji ruler applies the kanji to the characters you want to convert to kanji.

Hereinafter, embodiments of a kanji conversion device, a kanji conversion method, and a program according to the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the kanji conversion device, the kanji conversion method, and the program according to the present application are not limited to the embodiment.

[Configuration of Kanji conversion device]
First, the configuration of the Kanji conversion device according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a Kanji conversion device according to an embodiment. The kanji conversion device 1 according to the present embodiment is a kanji conversion device that converts an input kana character string representing a foreigner's name into Japanese kanji and outputs a kanji character string applied to the foreigner's name.

As shown in FIG. 1, the kanji conversion device 1 includes a kana character acquisition unit 11 that acquires a kana character string input from an input unit 31, and kanji characters that are categorized into groups that recall kana characters and a predetermined idea. Kanji dictionary database 21 (corresponding to kanji dictionary storage means) that stores them in advance, idea parameter acquisition means 12 for acquiring a parameter indicating a group that recalls a predetermined idea from the input unit 31, and idea parameter acquisition means Based on the parameters acquired by 12, the kanji acquisition means 13 for acquiring the kanji corresponding to the kana character string acquired by the kana character acquisition means 11 from the kanji dictionary database 21, and the kanji acquired by the kanji acquisition means 13 are converted. Conversion candidate output means 14 for outputting as candidates. The kanji conversion device 1 also has a conversion history database that stores a history of kanji character strings converted in the past with respect to the input kana character strings representing the names of foreigners.

As a hardware configuration of the Kanji conversion device 1, a normal computer can be used. Although not shown, the kanji conversion device 1 includes a CPU, a storage unit that stores various programs and data, and a communication unit that performs data communication via the Internet. The storage unit is, for example, a semiconductor memory device such as a ROM, a RAM, or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk.

In addition, the kanji conversion device 1 displays the data input by the key operation by prompting the user to perform a key operation and the like, and the input unit 31 that controls the input of the data in accordance with the user operation on the key button or the touch panel. It is connected to an interface composed of a display unit 32 for displaying images, text documents, and the like.

In the storage unit of the kanji conversion device 1, an operating system (hereinafter referred to as OS) for providing basic functions of the kanji conversion device 1, and a kana character string input by a user operation via the input unit 31 are stored in a kanji dictionary. A kana-kanji conversion program (see a flowchart shown in FIG. 4 described later) and the like for converting kanji into the database 21 are stored.

The OS of the Chinese character conversion device 1 manages the storage unit and the communication unit as basic functions of the Chinese character conversion device 1 by being executed by the CPU of the Chinese character conversion device 1. Then, a kana-kanji conversion program or the like is executed in a state where the OS of the kanji conversion device 1 is executed by the CPU.

This program is read from the storage unit by the CPU when the Kanji conversion device 1 performs processing. The configuration shown in FIG. 1 shows a state in which this program is read from the storage unit. This program can be stored and distributed on a storage medium such as a magnetic disk (floppy (registered trademark) disk, hard disk, etc.), optical disk (CD-ROM, DVD, etc.), semiconductor memory, etc., or connected to the Internet. It can also be transmitted as an application program from another external server to another computer via a communication unit.

Then, the structure of each means etc. which the Chinese character conversion apparatus 1 has is demonstrated. The kana character obtaining unit 11 obtains a kana character string input by the user performing an operation on the input unit 31. For example, the kanji conversion device 1 executes a control program stored in the storage unit, and displays a GUI (graphical) functioning as a kanji conversion tool as shown in FIG. user interface). Then, by causing the user to operate the input unit 31, the user inputs Roman characters or Katakana / Hiragana characters into the input window as shown in the display example, and inputs a kana character string indicating the foreigner's name. The kana character obtaining unit 11 obtains the kana character string input through the interface in this way.

The idea parameter acquisition unit 12 acquires a parameter indicating a group that recalls a predetermined idea input by the user performing an operation on the input unit 31. This parameter is used to allow the user to specify what kind of image the kana character string input by the user is to be converted into a kanji, or to specify an image to be included in the converted kanji.

A group that recalls a predetermined idea is a collection of elements having a common image, emotion, meaning, and concept, and various targets can be set. For example, in this embodiment, a predetermined idea is recalled. As a group to be used, an article for which kanji is displayed is adopted.

Specifically, it assumes industrial products and traditional crafts that are to be displayed with printed kanji strings converted to foreign names. That is, after the kana character string input by the user is converted into a kanji string by the kanji conversion device 1 of the present embodiment, the converted kanji string is represented as a predetermined article, that is, the kanji string is printed on the predetermined article. The purpose is to provide the user with kanji that matches the image of the article in which the converted kanji is represented. Yes.

A specific input method will be described with reference to the display example shown in FIG. 1. By causing the user to operate the input unit 31, one of a plurality of “parameter” objects shown in the display example is selected and the user is selected. Specifies the image you want to have in the converted kanji. The ideal parameter acquisition unit 12 acquires parameters input through the interface in this way.

The kanji acquisition unit 13 acquires the kanji corresponding to the kana character string acquired by the kana character acquisition unit 11 from the kanji dictionary database 21 based on the parameters acquired by the concept parameter acquisition unit 12. The configuration of the Chinese character dictionary database 21 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The conversion candidate output unit 14 outputs the kanji acquired by the kanji acquisition unit 13 to the display unit 32 as a conversion candidate. If it demonstrates with reference to the example of a display shown in FIG. 1, the Chinese character acquired by the Chinese character acquisition means 13 will be displayed with respect to the conversion candidate column of a Chinese character conversion tool. This causes the user to select a desired kanji from the conversion candidates displayed in the conversion candidate column, and to determine the kanji after conversion for the kana character string input by the user.

[Configuration of Kanji dictionary database]
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of contents stored in the kanji dictionary database 21. The kanji dictionary database 21 stores kana characters and kanji categorized into groups that recall a predetermined concept in advance.

The kanji dictionary database 21 is an example of a group that recalls a predetermined idea, “kana characters” that will be input by users from “a” to “n” in the order of the Japanese syllabary. A certain “article (industrial product, craft, etc.)” and a “candidate kanji”, which is a kanji that can be converted into a categorized combination of “kana characters” and “articles”, are associated in advance. It is remembered.

For example, for the kana character “ma”, if the group of “articles” is “fans”, the kanji “ma” that recalls “an image with a fan” as a “candidate for conversion” It is associated. Further, if the group of “articles” is “socks”, the kanji “mae” reminiscent of “an image of walking forward” is associated as a “candidate for conversion”. Furthermore, if the group of “goods” is “gamaguchi”, the kanji “man”, which recalls the “image to attract money”, is associated as the “candidate for conversion”.

Also, for example, for the kana character “fu”, if the group of “article” is “fan”, the kanji “Fu” is recalled as “candidate for conversion” as “candidate for conversion”. It is associated. If the group of “articles” is “socks”, the kanji “ho” that recalls “walking image” is associated as “candidate for conversion”. Further, if the group of “articles” is “gamaguchi”, the kanji “fu” that recalls “image to call money” is associated as “candidate for conversion”.

[Conversion history database configuration]
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of contents stored in the Chinese character dictionary database 22. In the conversion history database 22, the past conversion history, that is, the “kana character string” input in the past, “article” which is an example of a group that recalls a predetermined idea, “kana character string”, and “article "Candidate character string", which is a kanji character string previously converted by the kanji acquisition means 14 and output by the conversion candidate output means 14, is stored in association with each other in advance.

[Kanji conversion processing]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the kanji conversion process executed by the kanji conversion apparatus 1 shown in FIG. In this flowchart, the CPU of the kanji conversion device 1 reads out and executes the kana-kanji conversion program stored in the storage unit of the kanji conversion device 1.

First, the CPU of the kanji conversion device 1 executes a control program stored in the storage unit, and displays a GUI (graphical user interface) functioning as a kanji conversion tool on the display unit 32 as in the display example shown in FIG. Let Then, by causing the user to operate the input unit 31, Romaji or Katakana / Hiragana characters are input to the input window shown in the display example, and a kana character string indicating a foreigner's name is input. The CPU of the Kanji conversion device 1 acquires the kana character string input by the user operating the input unit 31 in this way (step S101). Step S <b> 101 corresponds to a step of causing the computer to function as the kana character acquisition unit 11.

Next, as in the display example shown in FIG. 1, by causing the user to operate the input unit 31, one of a plurality of “parameter” objects is selected, and an image that the user wants to have in the converted kanji is designated. Let The CPU of the Kanji conversion device 1 acquires a parameter indicating a group that recalls a predetermined idea input by the user operating the input unit 31 in this way (step S102). Step S <b> 102 corresponds to a step of causing the computer to function as the idea parameter acquisition unit 12.

Next, the CPU of the Kanji conversion device 1 searches the conversion history with reference to the conversion history database 22 (step S103). For example, the CPU of the Kanji conversion device 1 searches whether the combination of the kana character string acquired in step S101 and the parameter “article” acquired in step S102 is stored in the conversion history database 22.

The CPU of the kanji conversion device 1 determines whether or not there is a conversion history as a result of the search in step S103 (step S104). When the combination of the kana character string acquired in step S101 and the parameter “article” acquired in step S102 is stored in the conversion history database 22, the CPU of the kanji conversion device 1 determines that there is a conversion history.

If the CPU of the Kanji conversion device 1 determines in step S104 that there is a conversion history, it acquires the conversion history (step S105). That is, “candidate kanji”, which is a kanji string converted in the past and stored in association with the combination of the kana character string acquired in step S101 and the parameter “article” acquired in step S102, is acquired. Steps S103 to S105 correspond to steps for causing the computer to function as conversion history acquisition means.

After acquiring the conversion history in step S105 or if it is determined in step S104 that there is no conversion history, the CPU of the kanji conversion device 1 acquires the corresponding kanji from the kanji conversion database 21 based on the kana character string and the parameters. (Step S106). That is, the kanji dictionary database 21 is searched for the combination of the “kana character” included in the kana character string acquired in step S101 and the parameter “article” acquired in step S102, and the “kana character” and the parameter “article” are searched. The “candidate kanji” stored in advance for the combination of and is acquired. The CPU of the kanji conversion device 1 executes a process of acquiring “candidate kanji” for all “kana characters” included in the kana character string acquired in step S101. At this time, the CPU of the Chinese character conversion device 1 acquires a Chinese character string that does not overlap with the Chinese character string stored in the conversion history database. Step S <b> 106 corresponds to a step of causing the computer to function as the kanji acquisition unit 13.

Next, the CPU of the kanji conversion device 1 outputs the acquired kanji as a conversion candidate (step S107). In other words, the display unit 32 displays the kanji string composed of the “candidate kanji” acquired in step S107 as a conversion candidate. At this time, the CPU of the kanji conversion device 1 outputs the kanji string acquired as the conversion history in step S105. A kanji string converted in the past and a newly converted kanji string are provided to the user. If it demonstrates with reference to the example of a display shown in FIG. 1, the kanji string which is a conversion candidate will be displayed with respect to the conversion candidate column of a kanji conversion tool. This causes the user to select a desired kanji character string from the conversion candidates displayed in the conversion candidate field, and to determine a kanji character string after conversion for the kana character string input by the user. Step S <b> 107 corresponds to a step of causing the computer to function as the conversion candidate output unit 14.

[Example of Kanji conversion]
For example, if the input kana character string is “Maiku” indicating the name of a foreigner, and the “article” group is “Folding Fans”, then “Candidate Kanji Strings” “Folding Fans” “Maiiku” including the kanji “Mai” that recalls “K” is output as a conversion candidate. Also, if the group of “articles” is “socks”, “candidate” including “kanji” “mae” that recalls “an image of walking forward” as “candidate kanji string” as conversion candidates. Is output. Furthermore, if the group of “goods” is “Gamaguchi”, “Makuiku” including “Kanji”, which recalls “image to call money” as “candidate kanji string”, is output as a conversion candidate. Is done. The CPU of the kanji conversion device 1 stores the kanji character string output as the conversion candidate via step S106 in the conversion history database 22 in association with the kana character string and the parameter.

As described above, the kanji conversion device 1 according to the present embodiment acquires a kana character string input by the input unit 31 and a parameter indicating a group that recalls a predetermined idea by the input unit 31, and the kana character and the predetermined character Referring to the kanji dictionary database 21 that stores in advance the kanji categorized into groups that recall the idea, acquires the kanji corresponding to the kana character string acquired based on the acquired parameters, and converts Output as a candidate.

This makes it possible to select a kanji character string to be converted with emphasis on the concept that the kanji character string to be converted recalls for the kana character string to be converted. Therefore, it is possible for a foreigner to respond to the desire to create an image recalled from the converted kanji.

The present invention has been described with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings, and any known hitherto provided that the effects of the present invention are achieved. Even if it is a structure, it is employable.

Moreover, various aspects can be employ | adopted for the embodiment mentioned above in the range which does not change the meaning. For example, the kanji conversion device 1 of the present embodiment is not limited to one in which each unit is realized by a single computer. In recent years, in response to the expansion of the scale of data to be handled, it has become common for multiple computers to perform processing in a distributed manner, so adopt a configuration in which each means is realized by multiple computers. Can do.

Further, for example, the kanji conversion device 1 of the present embodiment may adopt a configuration (software package providing type) realized by installing the above-described software program in a computer that is a user's client terminal. A configuration in which a computer serving as a client terminal is provided with a function as an interface (FIG. 1) and a server connected via the Internet functions as the kanji conversion device 1 (API providing type) may be employed.

In addition, for example, the kanji conversion device 1 according to the present embodiment employs “articles” such as industrial products, traditional crafts, and folk crafts as a group reminiscent of a predetermined idea, and converts the kanji after conversion to the articles. It is supposed to represent. As a result, it becomes possible to select a kanji suitable for the image of the article, and it is also possible to expect the effect of promoting the article representing the kanji to a foreign country. In addition, the object employ | adopted as a group which recalls a predetermined idea is not restricted to this, Various objects, such as the use of an article | item, the season which uses an article | item, a user's sex, and a region, can be employ | adopted.

In addition, for example, the Kanji conversion device 1 of the present embodiment is configured to designate one as a parameter indicating a group that recalls a predetermined idea. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the user can specify a plurality of parameters. You may make it designate. In this case, the kanji dictionary database (kanji dictionary storage means) 21 is a group that recalls a kana character and a predetermined idea, and kanji that is typified for a combination of at least two groups. Make it correspond and memorize. Further, the idea parameter acquisition unit 12 is configured to acquire a plurality of parameters indicating a group that recalls a predetermined idea by the input unit 31, and the kanji acquisition unit 13 includes a plurality of parameters acquired by the concept parameter acquisition unit 12. The kanji corresponding to the kana character string acquired by the kana character acquiring means 11 is acquired from the kanji dictionary database 21 based on the above.

[Modified structure of Kanji dictionary database]
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of contents stored in the Chinese character dictionary database 21 when a plurality of parameters are employed. In the kanji dictionary database 21, “kana characters” that will be input by users from “a (a)” to “n (n)” in the order of the Japanese syllabary and the first of the group that recalls a predetermined idea. "Articles (industrial products and crafts, etc.)" which is an example of the following (hereinafter referred to as the first group), and "Applications (decorate, look up,") which are the second example (hereinafter referred to as the second group) of the group that recalls a predetermined idea. Sending etc.) ”and“ candidate kanji ”, which are kanji characters that can be converted into candidates, are classified in advance for combinations of“ kana characters ”,“ articles ”, and“ uses ”. .

For example, for the kana character “to”, if the first group “article” is “fan”, if the second group “use” is “decorate”, “conversion candidate” as “candidate fan” The Chinese character “Tomi” that recalls the “calling image” is associated. In addition, when the first group “article” is “fan” and the second group “use” is “fan”, the “candidate” is a kanji for “transparent” with a clear impression. “To”) is associated. In addition, when the first group “article” is “fan” and the second group “use” is “giving”, the “kanji” “fei” recalling “an image to pray for a break from the current situation” as a “conversion candidate”. (“To”) ”is associated.

In the kanji conversion process shown in FIG. 4, in step S102, the user operates the input unit 31 to select any two or more of the “parameter” objects, and the user has the converted kanji. Specify the image you want to show. The CPU of the Kanji conversion device 1 acquires a plurality of parameters indicating a group that recalls a predetermined idea input by the user operating the input unit 31 in this way.

Further, in the kanji conversion process shown in FIG. 4, in step S106, the CPU of the kanji conversion device 1 acquires the corresponding kanji from the kanji conversion database 21 based on the kana character string and the plurality of parameters. That is, the kanji dictionary database 21 shown in FIG. 5 is searched for a combination of “kana characters” included in the kana character string acquired in step S101 and the plurality of parameters “article” and “use” acquired in step S102. A “candidate kanji” stored in advance for the combination of the “kana character” and the parameters “article” and “use” is acquired.

When configured in this manner, it is possible to give more importance to the concept that the kanji character string to be converted recalls, and to select the kanji character string to be converted. Therefore, it is suitable for a foreigner to respond to a desire to make such an image recalled from the converted kanji.

Moreover, the following is mention | raise | lifted as another preferable aspect of the kanji conversion apparatus 1. FIG. For example, the conversion candidate output unit 14 may preferentially output a kanji acquired by the kanji acquisition unit 13 with a small number of strokes as a conversion candidate. In this case, the kanji dictionary database 21 stores data indicating the number of strokes together with the kanji stored as “candidate kanji”. Then, the kanji acquisition unit 13 preferentially acquires kanji having a small number of strokes, and causes the conversion candidate output unit 14 to display the display unit 32 in order from the smallest number of strokes. When trying to display converted kanji on an article, the area of the article is limited, and if kanji with a large number of strokes is used, there is a concern that it will be difficult for the user to see, but priority is given to those with a small number of strokes. It is possible to dispel such concerns by allowing the user to make a selection and select it.

Furthermore, the size of the character represented by the article is configured to be designated by the user via the input unit 31, and the number of strokes of the kanji to be output is determined according to the size of the character input by the user. It may be. In this case, the size of characters (for example, small: 1 cm × 1 cm, medium: 3 cm × 3 cm, large: 5 cm × 5 cm) and the number of strokes that can be used (for example, small: up to 10 strokes, medium: from 10 strokes to 20 strokes) , Large: 20 strokes or more) may be stored in the storage unit of the Kanji conversion device 1, and the number of strokes to be adopted may be determined based on this data table.

Further, for example, the conversion candidate output unit 14 may preferentially output the kanji acquired by the kanji acquisition unit 13 that is frequently used by the user in the past as a conversion candidate. A conversion candidate with a track record can be preferentially presented to the user.

In the present embodiment, the name of a foreigner has been described as an example of a kana character that performs kanji conversion. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other names such as pet names, product names, place names, etc. Various kana characters input by can be adopted.

In addition, there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the method of describing the Chinese character selected by this invention to "articles", such as a traditional craft, Mechanical means, such as printing, may be sufficient as manual work. Traditional techniques may be used. For example, when the “article” is a fan, kanji may be printed using a printer, or handwritten using a brush. When the “article” is clothes or kimono, Chinese characters may be embroidered manually or handwritten with a cloth pen. It may also be dyed. Alternatively, the “iron rubber sheet” may be cut into a desired shape and pasted with an iron. When the “article” is a glass craft, the glass may be cut using a diamond grinder to carve Chinese characters, or a processed cutting sheet may be attached. Kanji may be transferred to glass using a paint sheet. Alternatively, a so-called sand blasting method in which kanji is written by “blasting” abrasive sand from an air nozzle may be used, or a kanji may be carved using a needle with diamond powder. If the “article” is a wooden work (craft) such as a tray, tea bowl, Japanese candy, bent wappa, or lacquer work, kanji may be written with a stamp or stamp. When the “article” is a cloth item such as a hand towel, a warm towel, a table cloth or a sofa cover, an embroidery or a cloth pen may be used, or a Chinese character may be written by dyeing. When the “article” is a seal (a seal), it may be machine engraved or hand-engraved with Chinese characters. In addition, when applying lacquer or raden to lacquerware, it may be applied even if it is scooped.
