JPH01241670A - Character input correcting system by alphabet/kana converting instruction - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate operation to move a cursor for correction and to input a re- input character by utilizing an alphabet/(square form of Japanese syllabary) KANA converting function as the correcting system of an input character when the KANA is erroneously inputted instead of the input of the alphabet in case that the character is inputted from a keyboard. CONSTITUTION:When a user depresses the key of a keyboard 11 and executes the demand of the character input to a character input means 1, the character input means 1 stores the inputted characters 'chi, ko, so, shi, i (KANA)' in an input buffer 4 and displays the inputted characters on a display device 12. At such a time, since the user desires to input alphabets 'ABCDE', the user requests the character input means 1 to convert the KANA character, which is already inputted, to the alphabet. The character input means 1 receives the demand to convert the KANA character to the alphabet from the user and the demand is informed of an alphabet/KANA converting means 2. The alphabet/KANA converting means 2 converts the KANA character to the alphabet with utilizing that correspondence between the KANA and alphabet of the keyboard is unique for the contents of an input buffer area 4. Thus, operability is improved.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a system for inputting characters into a computer from a keyboard, in case you accidentally input kana when you want to input alphanumeric characters, or when you accidentally input alphanumeric characters when you want to input kana. This invention relates to a character input correction method using alphanumeric/kana conversion instructions to correct input characters.

[Conventional technology]

Previously, if a user tried to enter alphanumeric characters from the keyboard and kept in kana input mode, kana characters would be entered, and if they wanted to correct this, they would change to alphanumeric manual mode and enter the alphanumeric characters again from the keyboard. Was. If you tried to enter kana characters and entered alphanumeric manual mode, you would have to enter kana characters again from the keyboard.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The method of correcting input characters from the keyboard described above has the disadvantage of poor operability since it is necessary to enter the incorrectly entered kana or alphanumeric characters and to input the correct alphanumeric or kana characters. be.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a character input correction method using alphanumeric/kana conversion instructions that corrects the above-mentioned drawbacks by collectively correcting erroneously input character strings.

[Means to solve the problem]

The character input correction method according to alphanumeric/kana conversion instructions of the present invention includes a character input means for storing input characters input from a keyboard in an input buffer area, and a character input means for storing input characters input from a keyboard in an input buffer area, and converting the contents of the input buffer area into alphanumeric characters according to alphanumeric/kana conversion instructions. The input buffer includes alphanumeric/kana conversion means for converting between /kana and alphanumeric/kana conversion means, and input buffer output means for outputting the converted contents of the input buffer.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the character input correction method based on an alphanumeric/kana conversion instruction is composed of a character input means 1, an alphanumeric/kana conversion means 2, an input buffer output means 3, and an input buffer area 4. .

The user presses a key on the keyboard 11 to request the character input means 1 to input characters. The character input means 1 stores the input characters "chikososhii" in the input buffer area 4 and inputs them into the display device 12. Display the characters. At this time, the user wants to input the alphabetic characters "A B CD E", so he requests the character input means 1 to convert the already inputted kana characters into alphanumeric characters. Character input means 1 receives a request from a user to convert kana characters into alphanumeric characters, and notifies alphanumeric/kana conversion means 2 of the request.

The alphanumeric/kana conversion means 2 converts the contents of the input buffer area 4 from kana characters to alphanumeric characters by utilizing the unique correspondence between kana and alphanumeric characters on the keyboard. When the conversion is completed, the alphanumeric/kana conversion means 2 requests the input buffer output means 3 to output the contents of the input buffer area 4.

The input buffer output means 3 outputs the contents of the input buffer area 4 to the output device 13.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention utilizes an alphanumeric/kana conversion function as a method for correcting input characters when attempting to enter alphanumeric characters and accidentally inputting kana characters when inputting characters into a computer from a keyboard. , the operation of moving a cursor for correction and re-entering characters is no longer necessary, resulting in improved operability.

Claims (1)

[Claims] a character input means for storing input characters input from a keyboard in an input buffer area; an alphanumeric/kana conversion means for converting the contents of the input buffer area between alphanumeric and kana in accordance with instructions for alphanumeric/kana conversion; and input buffer output means for outputting the contents of the input buffer.
