Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit a key-inputted KANA (Japanese syllabary) to immediately decide a character code and to simplify the processing procedure of the character code by permitting the KANA identification means of a keyboard Japanese input system to identify KANA which is simultaneously depressed as a voiced sound code key or a rho-sound in KANA key as the KANA character of the voiced sound or rho-sound in KANA. CONSTITUTION:The keyboard 11 of the keyboard Japanese input system inputs Japanese by a KANA character key, the voiced sound key and the rho-sound code key to a control part 12 and converts key-inputted KANA character into the KANA character code so as to output it. With operating the KANA character key while the voiced sound code and rho-sound in KANA keys on the keyboard 11 of the Japanese input system, the key-inputted character code is decided and the procedure of the character code is simplified. The key-inputted KANA character immediately decides the character code in the control part 12 and the processing procedure of the character code is simplified.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a keyboard Japanese input method, and more particularly to a keyboard Japanese input method having kana character keys, diacritic note keys, and half-voiced note keys.

(Prior art) Conventionally, on keyboards that can be used by Japanese speakers, one key is assigned to each of the voiced and half-voiced notes.For example, when entering the voiced kana character "ga", , press the kana character key that displays "ka", then press
It is common to input the character ``ga'' by pressing the voiced note key on which the voiced note ``゛'' is displayed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional keyboard Japanese input method described above, when a kana character that becomes a voiced sound (for example, a kana character for the ka line) or a kana character that becomes a semi-voiced sound (for example, a kana character for the going line) is input,
A voiced note or a half-voiced note is inputted by the next manual keystroke, but there is no confusion, so even if the operator inputs, for example, "ka" from the keyboard, it is still possible to enter "ka1" manually with only this keystroke. It is not possible to determine whether it is ``ka'' or ``ga.'' Only with the following key human power will it be possible to distinguish between ``ka'' and ``ga'', and it will be possible to determine whether it is ``ka'' or ``ga''.

For this reason, it is necessary to identify the next kana character, voiced note, or half-voiced note that is input manually without completing the identification procedure for the previously inputted kana character, which makes the process complicated. There is a problem.

The purpose of the present invention is to identify all kana characters with one keystroke without waiting for the identification result of the next keystroke, regardless of whether the kana characters input on the keyboard are voiced or semi-voiced. To provide an economical keyboard Japanese input method capable of determining character codes of kana characters and thereby simplifying character code processing procedures.

[Means to solve the problem]

The keyboard Japanese input method of the present invention includes kana character keys,
In a keyboard Japanese input method comprising a keyboard capable of Japanese input having a voiced note key and a half voiced note key, and a kana character identification means for determining a character code for a kana character input from the keyboard, the kana The character identification means is configured to identify a kana character inputted by a kana character key pressed simultaneously with the voiced sound key (or handakuon key) as a kana character of a voiced sound (or a handakuon).

Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The keyboard Japanese input method shown in FIG. 2 includes a keyboard 11 capable of inputting kana characters and outputting a character code corresponding to the input kana characters. The control section 12 includes a kana character identification means. Figure 1 shows the key control unit 12 for manual control of voiced and semi-voiced kana characters in Figure 2.
2 is a flowchart showing a character code processing procedure in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, the character code processing procedure in the control unit 12 will be explained when each of the above-mentioned keys ``a'', ``ga'', and ``ba'' is pressed. Character code processing is performed by a microprocessor program built into the control unit 12.

In the case of "A", when the kana character key for "A" on the keyboard 11 in FIG. Ru. The control unit 12 checks the character code corresponding to the input "a" in step 1 of the flowchart in FIG. Determine that it is a character. Then, in step 4, it is determined that the kana character manually entered by the key is "a" (1), and the character code corresponding to "a" is output.

Next, in the case of "ga", hold down the voiced note key on the keyboard 11 in Figure 2 where the voiced note "゛" is displayed and press "ka".
Press the kana character key. The keyboard 11 outputs to the control unit 12 a signal indicating the character code of ``kaj'' and the voiced note ``゛'' corresponding to the inputted kana character ``ga''. In step 1 of FIG. 1, the control unit 12 determines that the input kana character "kako" is a kana character to which a voiced or half-voiced note can be added, and in the next step 2,
It is determined that the voiced note key is pressed. In step 5, the character code of the kana character "ga" which has been entered manually is determined and the character code is output.

In addition, in the case of "Ba, 1", the user presses the half-voiced note key on the keyboard 11 in FIG. 2 on which the half-voiced note "°" is displayed, and then presses the kana character key for ``ha''. The keyboard 11 outputs to the control unit 12 a signal indicating the character code of ``ha'' and the half-voiced note ``°'' corresponding to the input kana character ``ba''. In step 1 of FIG. 1, the control unit 12 determines that the input kana character "ha" is a kana character to which a voiced note or a half-voiced note can be attached, and then proceeds to step 2.
In step 3, it is determined that the voiced note key is not pressed.Next, in step 3, it is determined that the half voiced note key is pressed. In step 6, the character code of the kana character "ba" which has been entered manually is determined and the character code is output.

As mentioned above, the character code of all kana characters is determined without waiting for the next keystroke, regardless of whether they are voiced or semi-voiced kana characters, so the character code of the input kana character The processing procedure can be simplified.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, when inputting kana characters with voiced sounds and semi-voiced sounds, the present invention allows users to manually input voiced sounds and half-voiced sounds by repeatedly pressing the kana character keys while pressing the voiced sound and half-voiced sound keys on the keyboard. The character code of kana characters can be determined immediately, and the character code processing procedure is simplified.
This has the effect that an economical device can be constructed.
