[First embodiment]
First, the system configuration of the character processing system 1 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a system configuration of an example of a character processing system according to the first embodiment.

  A character processing system 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a mail server 10 and a client terminal 20, and is connected to be communicable via a network N such as the Internet or a telephone line network.

  The mail server 10 is an information processing apparatus that transmits (transfers) mail transmitted from the client terminal 20 to another client terminal 20 or the like. At this time, the mail server 10 performs a process of spacing between characters for a character string included in the body of the mail transmitted from the client terminal 20 according to a paragraph break or a semantic break.

  That is, the mail server 10 improves the readability when the character string is displayed by performing processing for appropriately separating the character strings included in the text of the mail transmitted from the client terminal 20. . Here, it is assumed that the mail server 10 of the present embodiment performs a process of spacing between characters by inserting a blank of a preset size (point) in accordance with the separation of the meaning of the character string. .

  The blank size (point) is preferably smaller than the character size (point) of the character string into which the blank is inserted.

  The client terminal 20 is a terminal used by a user, and is, for example, various electronic devices such as a desktop PC, a notebook PC, a mobile phone, a smartphone, and a tablet terminal. The user can create a mail by operating the client terminal 20 and transmit the mail to the other client terminal 20 or the like designated as the destination via the mail server 10.

  Here, an example in the case where a space is inserted between characters of a character string included in the mail body by inserting a blank in the mail server 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of blank insertion.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the text of the email sent from the client terminal 20 includes the character string F10 "I will travel abroad from next month." And

  At this time, the mail server 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), in accordance with the semantic separator of the character string F10 shown in FIG. A column F11 is generated. As described above, the mail server 10 according to the present embodiment generates a character string F11 that is easy to read when displayed by inserting a blank at a position that becomes a semantic separator. In other words, the mail server 10 according to the present embodiment generates a character string F11 that is easy to read when displayed by providing an interval between characters at a position that becomes a semantic delimiter.

  Then, the mail server 10 according to the present embodiment transmits a mail including the character string F11 in the body of the mail to the other client terminal 20 that is the destination of the mail.

  Thereby, in the character processing system 1 of this embodiment, when mail is displayed in the other client terminals 20 etc. which received mail, mail can be displayed with a character string which is easy to read.

  Next, the hardware configuration of the mail server 10 and the client terminal 20 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the computer according to the first embodiment.

The programs and data stored in the HDD 308 include a program that realizes the present embodiment, an OS (Operating System) that is basic software for controlling the entire computer 300, and various application programs that operate on the OS.

  The computer 300 may use a non-volatile memory (storage device) such as an SSD (Solid State Drive) or a flash memory instead of the HDD 308 or in combination with the HDD 308.

  The mail server 10 and the client terminal 20 according to the present embodiment can implement various processes to be described later using a computer 300 as shown in FIG.

  Next, the functional configuration of the character processing system 1 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of an example of the character processing system according to the first embodiment.

  As illustrated in FIG. 4, the client terminal 20 includes a mail processing unit 201. The mail processing unit 201 is realized by processing that the CPU 306 executes one or more programs installed in the client terminal 20.

  The mail processing unit 201 transmits mail created by the user to the mail server 10. Further, the mail processing unit 201 receives mail transmitted from another client terminal 20 or the like via the mail server 10.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the mail server 10 includes a character string data input unit 101, a morpheme analysis unit 102, a blank processing unit 103, and an output unit 104. Each of these units is realized by processing executed by the CPU 306 by one or more programs installed in the mail server 10.

  The mail server 10 also has a dictionary DB 105, an analysis result table 106, and an output table 107. These can be realized by the HDD 308. These may be realized by a storage device or the like connected to the mail server 10 via a network.

  The character string data input unit 101 inputs character string data. In other words, the character string data input unit 101 of this embodiment inputs character string data of a character string included in the body of an email transmitted from the client terminal 20.

  The morpheme analysis unit 102 performs morpheme analysis on the character string data input by the character string data input unit 101 based on the dictionary DB 105 and stores the analysis result in the analysis result table 106. That is, the morpheme analysis unit 102 divides the character string indicated by the character string data into one or more morphemes, and stores the morpheme data associated with the part of speech in which the morpheme is classified in the analysis result table 106. As a result, the character string indicated by the character string data is divided into characters or character strings that are meaningful as one unit.

  The blank processing unit 103 performs blank insertion processing based on the analysis result table 106. That is, the blank processing unit 103 stores, in the output table 107, output data for displaying a character string in which blanks are inserted according to meaning breaks based on morpheme data included in the analysis result table 106. Here, the blank processing unit 103 includes a morpheme input unit 111, a morpheme output unit 112, a morpheme determination unit 113, and a blank insertion unit 114. Details of these parts will be described later.

  The output unit 104 outputs the output data stored in the output table 107. In other words, the output unit 104 sets the character string indicated by the output data stored in the output table 107 in the body of the email transmitted from the client terminal 20, and applies it to the other client terminal 20 designated as the destination. send mail.

  The morpheme input unit 111 inputs morpheme data stored in the analysis result table 106. The morpheme output unit 112 stores the character or character string indicated by the input morpheme data in the output table 107 as output data. The morpheme determination unit 113 determines whether or not the part of speech of the input morpheme data is a particle or an auxiliary verb. Further, the morpheme determination unit 113 determines whether or not the morpheme data stored next to the input morpheme data in the analysis result table 106 indicates a punctuation mark or a punctuation mark. The blank insertion unit 114 stores output data indicating a blank in the output table 107 according to the determination result of the morpheme determination unit 113.

  The dictionary DB 105 is a database used for morphological analysis by the morphological analysis unit 102. In the dictionary DB 105, for example, a plurality of words associated with parts of speech are stored.

  The analysis result table 106 stores morpheme data that is an analysis result of morpheme analysis by the morpheme analysis unit 102. Details of the analysis result table 106 will be described later.

  The output table 107 stores output data that is the processing result of the blank insertion processing by the blank processing unit 103. Details of the output table 107 will be described later.

  Next, details of the processing of the character processing system 1 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of character string processing according to the first embodiment.

  In this embodiment, a mail (mail data) in which a mail address indicating a destination is specified as a mail transmission destination and a character string indicating the content of the mail is specified by the mail processing unit 201 of the client terminal 20. The description will be made assuming that it is transmitted to the mail server 10.

  First, when receiving a mail, the character string data input unit 101 of the mail server 10 acquires character string data indicating a character string specified in the body of the received mail, and inputs the character string data (step S501). ).

  Next, the morphological analysis unit 102 of the mail server 10 performs morphological analysis on the input character string data based on the dictionary DB 105, and stores the analysis result in the analysis result table 106 (step S502).

  Here, in the present embodiment, the character string data indicates the character string F10 shown in FIG. 2A, that is, “I will travel abroad from next month.” At this time, the morpheme analysis unit 102 generates morpheme data in which one or more morphemes and the part of speech of the morpheme are associated with the character string F10 based on the dictionary DB 105, and an analysis result table as shown in FIG. It stores in 106. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the analysis result table.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the analysis result table 106 has a number, a morpheme, and a part of speech as data items. The number is a number at which the morpheme indicated by the morpheme data appears in the character string. A morpheme is a morpheme divided from a character string based on the dictionary DB 105. The part of speech is a part of speech associated with a morpheme in the dictionary DB 105.

  For example, in the morpheme data of the number “1”, the morpheme is “I”, and the part of speech of the morpheme is “noun”. Similarly, for example, in the morpheme data of the number “5”, the morpheme is “kara”, and the part of speech of the morpheme is “particle”.

  As described above, the morpheme analysis unit 102 divides the character string data input by the character string data input unit 101 into a plurality of morpheme data and stores them in the analysis result table 106.

  Next, the blank processing unit 103 of the mail server 10 performs blank insertion processing based on the analysis result table 106 (step S503). That is, the blank processing unit 103 performs blank insertion processing based on the analysis result table 106, and stores an output table 107 in which output data indicating a character string into which a blank is inserted in accordance with a character string separator or the like is stored. create. Details of the blank insertion process will be described later.

  Finally, the output unit 104 of the mail server 10 outputs the output data stored in the output table 107 (step S504). That is, the output unit 104 sets the output data stored in the output table 107 as the text of the received mail. Then, the output unit 104 transmits the mail to the client terminal 20 indicated by the mail address designated as the destination.

  As a result, the character string specified in the text of the mail transmitted from the client terminal 20 is converted into a character string in which a blank is inserted in accordance with a semantic separator or the like, and the client indicated by the mail address specified as the destination It is transmitted to the terminal 20 or the like. Therefore, in the character processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, an easy-to-read character string can be displayed when the mail is displayed on the client terminal 20 or the like as the mail transmission destination.

  Next, details of the blank insertion processing in step S503 in FIG. 5 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an example of blank insertion processing according to the first embodiment.

  First, the morpheme input unit 111 initializes n = 1 as a variable indicating a morpheme data number (step S701).

  Next, the morpheme input unit 111 acquires morpheme data of number n from the analysis result table 106 (step S702).

  Next, the morpheme output unit 112 stores the character or character string set in the data item “morpheme” of the number n morpheme data input by the morpheme input unit 111 as output data in the output table 107 (step S703). ).

  For example, when the number n = 1, the morpheme output unit 112 stores the character “I” set in the data item “morpheme” of the morpheme data with the number n = 1 in the output table 107 as output data. Similarly, for example, when the number n = 4, the morpheme output unit 112 outputs the character “next month” set in the data item “morpheme” of the morpheme data with the number n = 4 as output data. To store.

  Next, the morpheme determination unit 113 determines whether or not the data item “part of speech” of the number n morpheme data acquired by the morpheme input unit 113 is a particle or an auxiliary verb (step S704).

  Here, the reason why the morpheme part of speech is a particle or an auxiliary verb is because the particle or auxiliary verb is a semantic separator in the character string. Therefore, when the data item “part of speech” of the number n morpheme data is a particle or auxiliary verb, a blank is inserted between the morpheme indicated in the morpheme data and the morpheme indicated by the number n + 1 morpheme data. Position of the candidate.

  If it is determined in step S704 that the data item “part of speech” of the morpheme data of number n is a particle or auxiliary verb, the morpheme determination unit 113 indicates that the data item “part of speech” of number n + 1 is a punctuation mark or a punctuation mark. It is determined whether or not (step S705).

  Here, it is determined whether or not the part of speech of the next morpheme is a punctuation mark or a punctuation mark even if the morpheme indicated by the morpheme data of number n is a semantic separator. This is because it is not necessary to insert a blank when it appears next.

  In other words, if there is a punctuation mark or a punctuation mark at a position where the meaning of the character string is separated, inserting a blank character at that position gives the reader the impression that the character string is extended, which in turn impairs the readability. Because there is a fear.

  If it is determined in step S705 that the data item “part of speech” of the number n + 1 morpheme data is not a punctuation mark or a punctuation mark, the space insertion unit 114 stores a character indicating a space as output data in the output table 107 (step S706). . As a result, a blank is inserted at a position where the meaning is separated in the character string.

  Note that the size (points) of characters indicating white space may be a value set in advance by the administrator of the mail server 10 or the user of the client terminal 20. However, it is preferable that the size of the character indicating the blank is smaller by several points than the size of the character string input by the character data string input unit 101.

  Here, when it is determined in step S704 that the data item “part of speech” of the number n morpheme data is not a particle or auxiliary verb, and in step S705, the data item “part of speech” of number n + 1 is a punctuation mark or a punctuation mark. If it is determined, the process of step S706 is not executed.

  Next, the morpheme input unit 111 adds 1 to the variable indicating the morpheme data number (step S707).

  Subsequently, the morpheme input unit 111 determines whether or not morpheme data of number n exists in the analysis result table 106 (step S708).

  If it is determined in step S708 that there is no morpheme data of number n, the process is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S708 that morpheme data of number n exists, the process returns to step S702.

  Through the above blank insertion processing, the output table 107 shown in FIG. 8 is created from the analysis result table 106 shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the output table.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the output table 107 has output contents as data items. The output content is a character or a character string indicating the content of the output data stored by the morpheme output unit 111 or the space insertion unit 114.

  Here, in the output table 107 shown in FIG. 8, output data indicating a blank is stored after the output data indicating the particle “kara”. Similarly, output data indicating a blank is stored after output data indicating the particle “NI”. In this manner, the output table 107 stores output data indicating a blank at the meaning break position.

  Therefore, as described above, the output unit 104 sets the output data stored in the output table 107 as the text of the received mail, thereby changing the character string specified in the text of the mail to the interval between characters. Can be converted into an easily readable character string that is appropriately spaced.

  In the present embodiment, the position of the meaning break has been described as a case where the morpheme is a particle or an auxiliary verb, but is not limited thereto. For example, in the case where nouns are consecutive, the position of the separation of meaning may be between these nouns. Specifically, for example, if there is a character string “I will go on a trip next time”, even if a space is inserted between the noun “Now” and the noun “Travel” as the position of the separator of meaning, good.

  Moreover, although this embodiment demonstrated the case where the client terminal 20 transmitted mail, it is not restricted to this. The character processing system 1 of the present embodiment can be similarly applied when the client terminal 20 transmits an IM message using, for example, an IM (Instant Messenger) application.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, character string processing is performed in the client terminal 20. In the second embodiment, the processing result of the character string processing can be confirmed. In the following description of the present embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and components having the same functional configuration as those of the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment. The description is omitted.

  First, the functional configuration of the character processing system 1 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of an example of the character processing system according to the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the client terminal 20 includes a mail processing unit 201, a character string data input unit 101A, and an output unit 104A.

  The character string data input unit 101A inputs character string data of a character string included in the mail body created by the mail processing unit 201.

  The output unit 104A sets the character string indicated by the output data stored in the output table 107 as the text of the mail created by the mail processing unit 201, and causes the display device 302 to output and display the set character string. Thereby, the user of the client terminal 20 can check the character string in which a blank is inserted according to a semantic break or the like.

  Next, details of the processing of the character processing system 1 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of character string processing according to the second embodiment.

  Assume that the user operates the client terminal 20 to create a mail on, for example, the mail creation screen 1000 shown in FIG. In the mail creation screen 1000 illustrated in FIG. 11A, the user designates a destination as a mail transmission destination, a mail subject, and a text as a mail content. At this time, when the user operates the client terminal 20 and presses the send button 1001, the character string data input unit 101A acquires character string data indicating the character string F12 specified in the body of the mail, and the character string Data is input (step S1001).

  The output unit 104A of the mail server 10 outputs the output data stored in the output table 107 and displays a confirmation screen 1100 shown in FIG. 11B, for example (step S1002). That is, the output unit 104A displays a confirmation screen 1100 for confirming the character string F13 indicated by the output data stored in the output table 107.

  The confirmation screen 1100 shown in FIG. 11B shows that the character string F13 is set in the mail body. Here, the character string F13 is a character string in which a blank 4 and a blank 5 are inserted at positions where meanings are separated in the character string F12.

  When the user presses the OK button 1101 on the confirmation screen 1100 shown in FIG. 11B, mail (mail data) in which the character string F13 is set in the text is sent by the mail processing unit 201 to the mail server 10. Sent to.

  As described above, in the character processing system 1 of the present embodiment, character string processing is performed in the client terminal 20. Moreover, in the character processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the user can confirm a character string in which a blank is inserted and the readability is improved before the mail is transmitted. As a result, the user can check the character string displayed on the client terminal 20 of the mail recipient.

  In the character processing system 1 of the present embodiment, the case where the client terminal 20 transmits mail has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The character processing system 1 of this embodiment can be similarly applied when the client terminal 20 posts content including a character string to, for example, an SNS (Social Networking Service) service or a Blog service. That is, for example, when the client terminal 20 posts content including a character string to the Blog service, the character string processing system 1 of the present embodiment performs the character string processing described above and reads it as a result of the character string processing. You may make a user confirm the character string which improved ease.

[Third embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, character string processing is performed on character string data generated based on voice data. In the following description of the present embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and components having the same functional configuration as those of the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment. The description is omitted.

  The terminal device 30 also has a size setting table 110. The size setting table 110 can be realized by the HDD 308.

  The conversion unit 108 converts sound data generated by collecting sound by the sound collecting device 31 into character string data.

  The character string data input unit 101B inputs the character string data converted by the conversion unit 108.

  The size setting unit 109 sets a blank size (points) stored in the size setting table 110. Accordingly, the user can set the blank size to a desired value by the size setting unit 109 via the input device 301, for example.

  The blank insertion unit 114 </ b> A stores the output data indicating the blank of the size stored in the size setting table 110 in the output table 107.

  The output unit 104B causes the display device 302 to output and display the character string indicated by the output data stored in the output table 107.

  The size setting table 110 manages the size of blanks (points) stored in the output table 107 as output data by the blank insertion unit 114. That is, the size setting table 110 manages blank sizes (points) as shown in FIG. 14, for example. In the example of FIG. 14, the blank size is set to “3 (points)”.

  Next, details of the processing of the character processing system 1 of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating an example of character string processing according to the third embodiment.

  First, the conversion unit 108 of the terminal device 30 inputs sound data generated by collecting sound by the sound collecting device 31 (step S1501).

  Next, the conversion unit 108 of the terminal device 30 converts the input voice data into character string data (step S1502). Note that the conversion unit 108 may convert voice data into character string data based on, for example, an acoustic model stored in advance.

  Next, the character string data input unit 101B of the terminal device 30 inputs the character string data converted by the conversion unit 108 (step S1503).

  The blank processing unit 103 of the terminal device 30 performs blank insertion processing of the present embodiment based on the analysis result table 106 (step S1504). In other words, the blank processing unit 103 of the terminal device 30 stores output data indicating a character string in which a blank character having a size set in the size setting table 110 is inserted in accordance with a separation of the meaning of the character string. A table 107 is created. The details of the blank insertion process of this embodiment will be described later.

  The output unit 104B of the terminal device 30 outputs and displays the character string indicated by the output data stored in the output table 107 on the display device 302 (step S1505).

  Thereby, on the terminal device 30, a character string corresponding to the sound data generated by collecting the sound by the sound collecting device 31 is displayed on the display device 302. In addition, a blank is inserted in the character string displayed at this time according to a semantic delimiter or the like. Therefore, for example, in a public hearing, a meeting, a meeting, etc., when the content presented or spoken by a presenter or speaker is displayed as a character string, it can be displayed in an easy-to-read character string.

  Next, details of the blank insertion processing in step S1504 of FIG. 15 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a flowchart of an example of blank insertion processing according to the third embodiment.

  If it is determined in step S705 that the data item “part of speech” of the number n + 1 morpheme data is not a punctuation mark or a punctuation mark, the space insertion unit 114A acquires the size (point) of the character indicating the space from the size setting table 110 ( Step S1601).

  Next, the blank insertion unit 114A stores the character indicating the blank of the size acquired in step S1601 as output data in the output table 107 (step S1602). As a result, a blank having a size set in advance by the size setting unit 109 by the user is inserted at the position where the meaning is separated in the character string.

  As described above, in the character processing system 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to display a character string based on voice data in an easy-to-read manner. For this reason, for example, when a content such as an utterance by a presenter is displayed as a character string in a public hearing, a meeting, a meeting, etc., it can be displayed in an easy-to-read character string.

  In addition, in the character processing system 1 of the present embodiment, the user can set the size of the blank inserted between the characters in the character string. For this reason, for example, the user can set a blank of an appropriate size according to the nature of the attendees (for example, age, nationality, visual acuity, etc.) in a public hearing, a meeting, a meeting, or the like.

  In the character processing system 1 of the present embodiment, a character indicating a space is inserted between characters of the character string. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined character having the same color as the background may be inserted. good. Thus, the character inserted between the characters is not limited to a space, and may be any character that cannot be visually recognized (in other words, a character that can increase (expand) an interval between characters). If it is good.)
