Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability for selection of homonym KANJI (Chinese characters) by retrieving KANJI out of a dictionary in response to the input Japanese reading forms and at the same time retrieving the KANJI corresponding to each of plural Japanese reading forms divided by a dividing means out of a dictionary to display these retrieved KANJI on a display means. CONSTITUTION:A retrieving means retrieves the KANJI out of a dictionary in response to the Japanese reading form inputted via an input device as well as those KANJI out of the dictionary in response to plural reading forms divided by a dividing means respectively. A display means displays the KANJI corresponding to the retrieved reading form and those KANJI corresponding to plural divided reading forms. An instruction means delivers an instruction to select the desired one of those displayed KANJI. In such a constitution, the operability is improved for selection of homonym KANJI in case a word inputted in a 1st character string like KANA (Japanese syllabary), for example, is converted into another word of a 2nd character string.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a method for inputting a first character string such as kana, romaji, or English, and inputting a homophone kanji group or Japanese character string corresponding to the kana, romaji, or English. The present invention relates to a character processing device that selects a desired second character string from a second character group such as a word/kanji group and converts the first character string into a second character string.

[Prior art and its problems] For example, in a device that converts a word input as a first character string, such as a kana, into a second character string, such as a kanji corresponding to the kana, how can a word be converted from a homophone kanji? 1 of the desired kanji
The problem is which one to choose.

As a character processing device that selects and outputs a desired one of these homophone kanji, all the homonym kanji corresponding to the word input in kana are displayed on the display screen of the display, and the operator can It is known that a desired kanji is output by selecting and instructing a desired kanji from a group of homophone kanji displayed on a display screen.

However, such character processing devices only display the homophone kanji that corresponds to the reading of the input kana, so if you want to convert only part of the input reading to kanji, or if you want to convert part of the input reading to other characters, If the user wants to use a kanji with a different reading from the reading, the operator has to input the reading separately, which is complicated in operation, and the operability when selecting homophone kanji is poor.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to input the reading into a character processing device that converts the reading into a kanji using a dictionary that stores kanji corresponding to the reading. a dividing means for dividing the reading inputted by the inputting means into a plurality of readings; searching the dictionary for a kanji corresponding to the reading inputted by the inputting means; a search means for searching the dictionary for a kanji corresponding to each of the plurality of divided readings; a kanji corresponding to the reading searched by the search means and a kanji corresponding to each of the plurality of readings obtained by dividing the reading; The present invention is characterized by comprising a display control means for displaying on the display means, and an instruction means for instructing the display control means to select a desired kanji from a plurality of kanji displayed on the display screen of the display means. Therefore, when converting a word input as a first character string, such as a kana, into a second character string, the selection operation of homophone kanji becomes convenient and easy. Further, in a character processing device that converts a reading into a kanji using a dictionary that stores kanji corresponding to the reading, an input means for inputting the reading, and a dividing unit that divides the reading inputted by the input means into a plurality of readings. means, a search means for searching the dictionary for a kanji character corresponding to the reading input by the input means, and a search means for searching a kanji character corresponding to each of the plurality of readings divided by the dividing means; a selection control means for ranking a plurality of searched kanji according to the number of divisions of their readings, and selecting the plurality of kanji or fewer kanji; and displaying the kanji selected by the selection control means according to the selection order. A display control means for sequentially displaying the characters on the display screen of the display means, and an instruction means for instructing the display control means to select a desired kanji from the plurality of kanji displayed on the display screen of the display means. , Thereby, it is possible to further improve the operability.

Press the lowercase letter of the name of the board or key 15-44.
The symbols displayed on the right end of the key tops 15-45 are input, and when the key 17 is in the Roman alphabet mode, the input Roman characters are converted into lowercase letters of the flat name and processed by the processing section.

The key indicated by 19 is a key for selecting whether to input uppercase hiragana letters or lowercase English letters.
6 is in the Japanese mode and the key 17 is in the kana mode, the uppercase letters of the flat name are input by operating the keys with kana in the key group 15, and when the key 17 is in the romaji mode, the key group In step 15, keys with alphabetic characters are operated to input Roman characters, and in step K, the Roman characters are converted into uppercase hiragana characters and input into the processing unit.

Also, with the key 16 set to the alphabet input mode, press the key I.
By setting 9 to lowercase alphabet mode, key group 15
If you operate a key marked with an alphabetic character, you are likely to enter a lowercase alphabetic character.

Note that these keys 16, 18, and 19 are shift keys 5l (K
It constitutes l.

The key indicated by 20 is a space key, and pressing this key 20 creates a space between input characters.

21 indicates katakana lowercase letters and key tops (e.g. 1
5-44.15-45) is used to input the symbol written on the left end of By operating the attached keys, the kana is input as katakana lowercase letters, and if the key 17 is set to the Roman character input mode, the inputted Roman characters are converted to the corresponding lowercase characters of the kana and then input.

The key indicated by 22 is a key for selecting whether to input katakana capital letters or English capital letters. By setting key 16 to Japanese mode and key 17 to kana mode, keys with kana in key group 15 can be input. By operating , you can input katakana capital letters, and by setting key 17 to Roman character mode, you can convert the Roman characters input by operating the keys with alphabetic characters in key group 15 into katakana capital letters and input them. It is something that can be done. Note that these keys 21 and 22 constitute a shift key 5HK2.

Reference numeral 23 indicates a key that indicates the start or end of inputting characters to be converted to kanji, and when it is detected that the key 23 is pressed an odd number of times, inputting of characters to be converted to kanji begins. It generates a start signal to notify that the key 23 has been pressed for an even number of times, and generates an end signal to notify that input of characters to be converted into Kanji-to-Japanese characters has been completed. be.

The key indicated by 24 is a cursor key, and the key indicated by 24 is a cursor key.
This is for moving the cursor that appears above one character at a time to a desired location.

Reference numeral 25 indicates an initial set key, which is pressed to set the processing section to the initial state before using the character conversion device 11.

Reference numeral 26 indicates a concentration key, which instructs to search for a location where a plurality of converted words exist in the second character string displayed on the screen 13.

27 is the print command key, which is the print command key for screen 1.
This key instructs to record the second character string displayed on the recording paper I4.

28 indicates that the first character string is converted to the second character string,
If there are multiple conversion words, this key indicates that the one conversion word displayed on the screen is the correct conversion word, and key 29 indicates that the conversion word is incorrect. Instead of pressing 29, other conversion words will be displayed on the screen. Therefore, by pressing the key 29 until the correct converted word is displayed on the screen 13, and then pressing the key 28 when the correct converted word is displayed, the correct converted word can be selected.

The key 30 has the same function as the key 29, but the display order of converted words is reversed from that of the key 29.

The key 31 changes the displayed second character string (conversion word) to the first
This is a key that instructs to convert to a character string (conversion unit).

32 indicates the first character string inputted from the key group 15, which is converted into a second character string by the processing unit and sent to the screen 13.
Enter the character equivalent to a single kanji using the automatic conversion mode displayed above or key group I5, display all kanji corresponding to the input character on the screen 13, and select the desired kanji from the displayed single kanji. This key is used to select the single kanji input mode for selecting kanji.

33 indicates a direct input mode in which a kanji code is directly input using the numerical keys 34, and an indirect input mode in which a first character string is input using the key group 15 and a second character string is output from the processing unit. This is the key to select.

The operation of inputting data according to the original shown in FIG. 2 using the keys having the functions described above and obtaining the output shown in FIG. 5 on the screen 13 will be explained.

When inputting in hiragana, first, initial reset is performed using the key 25, and then the key 6 is set to the Japanese mode, the key 17 is set to the kana mode, and the key 19 is set to the hiragana capital letter mode.

However, the sentence -j37-1 indicated by a circle in Figure 3 is a lowercase hiragana character, so when entering this character, press key 18.

Press 23 to notify that you have finished inputting the characters to be converted into kanji, then enter the kana ``no'', and so on, and then input the kana in sequence as shown in Figure 3.

As will be described later, in the character conversion device according to the present embodiment, by inputting a symbol indicating a sentence break such as a dot "," or a circle "." from the keyboard 12, a second character is converted from a first character string. Point 36 starts the conversion to a column.
is input, the second character string is displayed on the screen 13 as shown in FIG. The input continues as shown in FIG. 3, and when the last circle 37 is input, all the second character strings are displayed as shown in FIG.

Note that the symbol 35 in FIG. 3 is a symbol indicating that the key 23 has been pressed.

In FIG. 5, the converted words marked with a symbol 38 (*) indicate that there are homophones other than the displayed word.

In other words, conversion words to which the symbol 38 is not attached are conversion words that are uniquely determined for input characters.

Once all input has been completed in this manner, the next step is to press the key 26 and the cursor 39 will be placed at the position of the first symbol 38-1.

Since the conversion word "basic" indicated by this cursor 39 is the correct conversion word, when the key 28 is pressed, the cursor 39 moves to below the next symbol 38-2.

Since the conversion word "after" indicated by the cursor 39 is also a correct conversion word, when the key 28 is pressed, the cursor 39 moves to below the next symbol 38-3.

The converted word "return" indicated by the cursor 39 is incorrect, so when key 29 is pressed, the next homophone "kaku" is changed to "return".
is displayed on the screen 13 instead.

This conversion word "plan" is the correct conversion word, so key 28
When you press , this conversion word "Kaku" is selected.

When all editing is completed in this way, press the key 27.
By pressing , the second character string displayed on the screen 13 is recorded as is on the recording paper 14.

Next, to explain the device in more detail by taking as an example the case of inputting in the Roman alphabet mode, the order shown in FIG. Enter. However, when entering the character 40 indicated by a circle, the key 18 is pressed. □The content of the input manuscript as described above is processed within the device and displayed, for example, as shown in Figure 5 (a combination of kanji and kana characters).

In the above process, if multiple sets of kanji from the same agency exist, they are displayed with * as shown in FIG.

(Example *On the way home) Here, * is used to notify the operator that there are two or more homophone kanji (conversion words). O There are multiple homophone kanji (conversion words) for the reading of the input manuscript If it exists, select the necessary kanji (conversion word) using the following methods.

For example, move the cursor symbol CC to the position of "*" in the display of "*Basic" in FIG. Such movement is EDIT
This can be done automatically by operating a key. The kanji to be selected now is the displayed kanji, so the YES key is operated. Then, the cursor symbol CC
automatically moves to the position of "*" next to "*" to be selected. Since the kanji to be selected now is "transition", the No key is operated in order to call up the kanji that is not displayed. Then, ``After that, Pa disappears from the display screen''
will be displayed in that same location. When the No key is further operated, the above-mentioned display procedure is performed as shown in Table 1, and when the currently required "transition" is displayed, when the YES key is operated, "transition" is selected, The device is cursor symbol CC
is automatically shifted to the next “* return trip” position,
Informs the operator of the position of the next selection target.

By repeating key operations similar to those described above, the selection can be completed.

Here, the functions for improving the operability of the selection will be explained using Table 2.

When "*Transfer" is displayed as a result of operating the No key, "*Transfer" is displayed when the No key is further operated. (Table 2. 6th line) All homophone kanji (conversion words) corresponding to "1 Ikou" are now displayed.
When you press the key, “*after” is displayed again in the first place.

...Next, for things that cannot be corrected using the above method, you need to be able to return them to the original first character (the applicable conversion unit).0 To do this, use the ■W key. .

First, move the cursor using the method described above (EDIT key or Y
Method using ES key) 6 Louis ld 0UR8OR,
5HIFT key (CUR8OFL 5HIFI' key can move the cursor by one character with one operation), place the cursor symbol CC at the 6*" position corresponding to the kanji you want to convert to the first character. Now, by operating the INV key, the second
character is converted to the first character and displayed.

Table 3 shows the state of ε.

The method for automatically converting a first character string into a second character string in the process of converting it has been described above.

Next, a method for inputting kanji characters one by one will be described.

There are two methods for inputting kanji units. One is an indirect input method, and the other is a direct input method.

First, press the automatic single kanji selection key 蔀■ on the single kanji side, and
Next, the indirect/direct selection key IDK is set to the direction desired by the operator. Thereafter, the cursor symbol CC is shifted using the cursor shift key C8K to bring it to the desired position.

If the indirect direct selection key IDK is set on the indirect side, input the kanji using the following procedure.

First, press the kanji shift key KK23 shown in FIG. 1, and then input the reading of the kanji. If the kanji reading is Romaji, and the kana selection key source is Romaji, enter the kanji reading in Romaji,
Also, if RKK is a kana, enter it in kana. The reading of a kanji can be input as a sound or a kun, or only a part of the reading of the kanji from the beginning can be input. After that, press the kanji shift key KK again, and the third character will appear on screen 13.
The corresponding kanji are listed as shown in Figure 0 T1.

The listed kanji groups correspond to the key group in the second row from the bottom in Figure 1B, and are the English character keys A, S, D,
They correspond to F, G, H, J, and L: respectively in that order.

Next, if a desired kanji character is displayed, input is performed by pressing the key corresponding to the position of the kanji character. If the desired kanji is not displayed, the kanji group following the kanji group on the current screen is displayed by pressing the "," key or the space key, and the desired kanji can be input in the same manner as described above. For example, in Figure 32, the ``book'' at position T2 is ``come''.
If you want to change it to , move the cursor to the T2 position using the cursor shift key C8K and press the single kanji selection key, the entire screen will disappear and the cursor will move to the bottom left. Thereafter, by pressing the Kanji shift key KK, "U", and the Kanji shift key KK as described above, the Kanji characters starting with "U" are listed as shown in T1 of FIG. 30. When the key "S" corresponding to "Kai" is pressed here, the character "Kai" is entered at the T2 position, the data is corrected and displayed on the screen, and the cursor moves to the next character position. A single kanji input control section, which will be described later, performs the above-mentioned control.

In addition, in this example, the operator's erratic finger-pairing,
For example, the middle finger of the right hand is 9. I, ni, yo.

It is used to input 2, ノ, and ne, and the structure is such that pressing any of the keys will specify the third letter from the left in Figure 30, which corresponds to the middle finger of the right hand. ing.

If the indirect direct selection key is set to the direct side,
The kanji direct input means DIN allows a kanji code to be input into the data buffer corresponding to the current cursor position, and the kanji code can be displayed at the current cursor position. After input, the cursor automatically advances to the next position. This direct input means is capable of inputting not only kanji but also kana alphanumeric characters and other symbols.

Since individual Kanji characters can be input as described above, words that are not found in word dictionaries or files can be easily inputted, and Kanji characters that have been erroneously converted during conversion can also be easily corrected.

In the manner described above, sentences can be created easily and quickly.

Next, when the print key is operated, the displayed text is printed out. At this time, the * symbol indicating the existence of multiple homophones (converted words) and extra spaces (for example, the space after "Year" in Figure 5) are deleted and recorded in a condensed manner.

- Although the most basic operation of the character conversion device according to this embodiment is as described above, this character conversion device will be explained in more detail using the drawings.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the character conversion device according to this embodiment, and shows the characters KBI, KB2, )G33.
These keys have the functions described above, and each key is provided with an encoder for generating a corresponding code signal.

The function of the mustard pond mentioned above will be explained in more detail later. The CPU is a processing unit that performs, for example, 16-bit processing.

The processing unit CPU has functions such as data transmission, addition, and comparison, and includes, for example, Texas Instruments' T~189900 and National Semiconductor's P.
ACE, Banafacom PFL I 6A, NEC μ
It consists of PD16 etc.

The control memory is the keyboard KBI, KB2.
.

This is a read-only memory that stores control procedures, control data, etc. for determining input instructions from the KB3 and performing processing in accordance with each instruction. This ROM is divided into blocks as shown in FIG.

Each block will be explained later. Each control unit performs control regarding its name. For example, the KBI input control section performs KBI input control. The main control section also supervises other control sections.

prpo is a memory that temporarily stores the output from KB2, is a first-in first-out memory, and has a capacity of 64W (
Information that exceeds the processing capacity of a CPU with a capacity of 16 bits (IW) is stored.

PMI is a page memory, and as shown in Figure 5, one page of a manuscript has a character capacity of, for example, 16 (characters) x + 2 (lines), that is, 19
0 or more page memory PM with a capacity of 2 WORDs
The contents are displayed on a CRT K, which will be described later, and are also output to an output device such as a printer, magnetic disk, etc.

Note that the following information is stored in the 14th and 15th bits of each WORD in the page memory PM. (See Figure 8) 5 mouths 15-0. When bit 14-0, bit 13
~The character code is entered in bitO.

b-th 15-0. Bit14-1 The address of the homophone memory is located in bits 9 to 0.

Bit 15-1, bit 14-1 means love out code. When this code exists, a space is displayed on the display surface of the display means. Also, it is ignored when printing out.

PM2 is a page memory and has the same configuration as PMI.

The contents of this memory can be displayed on C11 and T similarly to PMI.

~■ are word files, as shown in FIG. 11, in which the pronunciation of a word (kanji) is a keyword, and the word character code, grammatical information, etc. for the pronunciation of the word are entered.

In this practical example, a storage capacity of 32W is prepared for one word,
The breakdown is: 10WO for the reading of the word (kana heading)
RD, 3 WORDs for the reading of the unchangeable kana part, that is, the part that does not change depending on the reading of the kanji okuri kana (for example, "shi" in "beautiful").

5WO[) for word character code, 1 for part of speech information
, tWORD, IWORD for conjugation information, IWORD for affix information, 4WOR, D for field information, IWOR, D for information on the number of kanji, that is, the number of character codes entered in the character code column. It consists of IWOR,D for information on the number of reading codes written in the unchanged kana part, IWOR,D for frequency information, and 4WORDv allocation for vacant space.

The part-of-speech information, as shown in FIG. 10, corresponds to each bit of I WORD. These include the prefix,
This includes information such as suffixes.

Information on the conjugated form is shown in Figure 11 (K I WOFLI)
Each bit is associated with a conjugated form such as a verb or an adjective.

As shown in FIG. 12, the affix information corresponds to each bit of the IWORD.

Affix information includes place names, people's names, organization names, grounding (things connected to place names, such as prefecture, city), subtractions (things connected to people's names, such as Mr., Kimi), and affixes (things connected to organization names, such as division, etc.). It is classified into such things as (association).

Frequency information was determined with reference to materials from the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics.

As shown in FIG. 13, the field information is made by associating each bit of the IWORD with each field information.

The fields in which each word is frequently used are shown.

Note that the words stored in the word file WF can be the converted words.

In the single kanji dictionary KF, as shown in FIG. 14, the readings of kanji are keywords (5W), and the kanji code can be searched.

If there is a different reading for each kanji, a KF is created for that reading so that the reading of a kanji can be searched by both the sound and the kun.

In this example, we used a structure of one kanji for one kana heading, but if there are multiple kanji with the same sound, they can be combined into one.
It is clear that a heading can be made into a double that stores multiple homophone kanji.

- PNTI is a pointer memory and has a storage capacity of 8 bits. This memory serves as an address register for specifying the position of the cursor symbol CC displayed on the display surface of the display means and as an address register for reading and writing the page memory PMI.

PNT2 is an address register for reading and writing page memory PM2.

Both PNTI and PNT2 have address values of 1 to 19.
Up to 2 have meaning. It is invalid if it is set to any other value.

DCOT is a display control circuit (Fig. 16), and as shown in Fig. 15, it includes a code converter CCT, a selector (SLT),
Character generator CG, CRT controller CC
Consists of L.

The code converter converts the code of information output from the PMI according to the following rules.

That is, bit 15-0. When bit 14 = O, output as is.

When bit 15 = 01 bit 14 = 1, “
*Convert to the character code corresponding to “.

When bit 15 = 1 and bit 14 = 1, convert to space code.

When bit 15 = 1 and bit 14 = 1, convert to space code.

The selector outputs PMl through the code converter and P
It plays the role of selecting one of the outputs of M2 in relation to the lock keys A to fK and IDK.

The Cr(T controller has the function of displaying the output information from the selector on a display, and displays a cursor symbol at the position specified by the pointer PNT1.

Such a CRT controller is a character generator C.
By referring to CG and inputting a character code into the CG, a pattern of the character is generated, and the character code in the page memo IJPM is displayed.

The display control circuit DCOT controls the display to have 12 vertical lines and 16 horizontal character colors.

Therefore, if the page memo IJ PMI or P~■2 does not include a carriage return code or a reinfved code, there is a counter in the display control circuit that counts the number of characters to display 16 characters per line. 1
A line counter is provided so that there are two lines, and a line counter is provided that counts lines so that there are 12 lines.

Also, when the processing unit CI't7 controls the page memory PIν■ and the pointer PNT, the display control control DCOT
is performed during the transition from one line display to the next line display.

A CRT is a display unit that consists of a cand, a ray, and a tube. Information is displayed on the display section (IT) under the control of the display control circuit DCOT.

The direct input means DIN is as shown in FIG.
It consists of EY34 (KB4) and encoder ENCD. The encoder is responsible for converting the 4-digit numbers output from the KB4 into character codes.

As a result, a character defined by a four-digit decimal number is converted into a character code corresponding to that character.

Further, the direct input means DIN is a kanji input device, for example, Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. KANJI TAB ENTRY-5.
00, Fujitsu Ltd. FACOM6802B, etc.

OU is an output device that prints the characters displayed on the display section CRT. For example, it is composed of wire dot, inkjet, thermal, printer, etc.

Furthermore, a magnetic disk or the like may be connected as the output a5 to increase the storage capacity.

Reference numerals R and A to 1 are memories, which are provided to control the transfer of data processed by the processing unit CPU. Its configuration is shown in FIG.
EaxsTErb, woaKINa AREA.

Conversion parameter (1), conversion sentence buffer, conversion word table, conversion parameter (2), conversion unit table,
It consists of a list table, a word dictionary table, etc.

Further, the REGISTI includes a keyword register, selection number register, input sentence field register, conversion word field register, etc.

Next, the details and mutual relationships of each parameter, buffer, table, and control section will be explained. For individual explanations, the respective drawings are used, and for explanations of mutual relationships, FIG. 18 is used.

The converted sentence BUF is shown in Figure 19. The converted sentence BUF is a buffer for storing sentences to be converted, and the reading information of the sentence inputted from K[31 is converted and stored according to a predetermined format according to the KB1 input suppression control which will be described later.

The format of the conversion sentence BIJF is as shown in Figure 19. All character information is expressed by JIS codes of kana and symbols. Also, a special code @ is used to indicate the part to be converted into kanji (hereinafter referred to as conversion unit). The information stored under the control of the KB1 input control section includes the text information and the special code @. @
indicates the beginning of the conversion unit, and ■ specifies the end of the conversion unit.

The conversion parameters MPA(1) and MPA(2) are
This is a parameter that specifies the range of information stored in the conversion sentence buffer to be converted into an inner two-character string, and is set by the K81 input control unit and becomes a parameter for subsequent conversion (see FIG. 20).

MPA (3) specifies the start address within the range excluding the range where the conversion has been completed. KBI input system (
Initialized by the Finance Department, ~IPAf3)
Set to MPA(1).

MPA(4) is a register that stores an empty number in a conversion word table, which will be described later. The specific role of MPA (41) will be described later. MPA (1) is initialized by the INT key valve control section.

MPA (5) and MPA (6) are the ranges to be converted,
That is, they indicate the first address and last address to be referred to when converting between MPA(1) and MPA(2).

The KBI input control unit is configured such that the AMK key is automatic and the KBI input control unit is
When there is an input from the BI, the operation starts based on a command from the main control section. After the operation is completed, the control is returned to the main control section. The KB1 input system part converts the information input from KBl into the format specified by the conversion sentence BUF, and then writes the information into the conversion sentence BjJF, and at the same time writes the information necessary for conversion into the conversion parameter (1). It plays the role of writing the necessary parameters and giving instructions to the conversion control unit to start the conversion. Input from KBI is RKK
By operating the keys, you can select between Kana input and Romaji input. Also KBI's kanji shift key K
For K, odd-numbered keystrokes indicate the beginning of the conversion unit, and even-numbered keystrokes indicate the rear end of the conversion unit. The KBI input control unit converts the above input into a format specified by the above-mentioned converted sentence buffer, and writes the converted information to the converted sentence buffer.

The information stored in the converted sentence buffer is converted into a kanji-mixed sentence (second
1 character string) is started when any of the following conditions are satisfied, and when any of the following conditions is satisfied, an instruction to start conversion is sent to the conversion control unit. give. .

1. If there is a symbol such as “2.0” in the input information from KBI.
etc. existed.

2. When a kanji start code is generated by the kanji shift key.

3. When a certain number of characters are entered after the Kanji shift key is pressed twice.

4. When the buffer overflows.

The K81 input control unit adds the conversion statement BUF to the conversion parameter (1) before giving the conversion start instruction to the conversion control unit.
Sets the conversion start and end positions of the information stored in . Conversion to the second character example is performed within this range. At the same time, a reference range as related information for conversion is also set in conversion parameter (1).

In kana-kanji conversion, the information before and after a word is important, so when converting a word in the middle of a sentence to kanji, the kana-to-kanji conversion is controlled so that the information before and after is always added.

Activation of Romaji-kana conversion is performed by the KBI input control unit when inputting vowels, ie, [A, I, U.

Keyboard on E, 01 or [X') (see Figure 1)
The corresponding kana above, namely [chi, ni, na.

I, Ra] or [Sa], [C, 2, S, I.

〕or〔〔〔〕and its respective lowercase letters are entered. Conversion is performed with reference to the Romaji-kana correspondence table (FIG. 21). For example, "a"
When inputting ``Romaji'' on the keyboard shown in Figure 1, when the "A" key, that is, the "Chi" key is pressed in the hiragana shift state, the Romaji-kana conversion control unit is activated and the table shown in Figure 21 is input. ``a'' is extracted.

As shown in FIG. 22, the word dictionary table is a word dictionary W.
This is a buffer for extracting and storing only the information necessary for conversion from the information stored in F.
It has a capacity of 2 x 24W. That is, as mentioned above, 1 word 3
Since it has a capacity of 2W, it can store information for 24 words, and the stored information is numbered from 1 to 24 in order for each word. Reading into this word dictionary table is performed by conversion control, which will be described later.

The nest table is a table written by a conversion control unit, which will be described later, when finding a conversion word from each conversion unit, and has a capacity of 28×8W as shown in Figure $123.

This implementation has a function of automatically dividing the conversion unit. For example, the conversion unit -kihonte-key is automatically divided into two, -kihon- and -teki. The number of divisions is not limited to two as in the above example.

In this embodiment, up to eight divisions are allowed. The words obtained by division are either independent words, prefixes, or suffixes. This nest table stores information about this division. For each segmented word, there are 28W of information storage locations.

$23 In Figure A, (5) is the address in the converted sentence buffer where the reading of the word is stored.

(B) is the number of readings of the word. (Q is the number of words corresponding to the reading of the word when there are several words.

(θ is the starting number of the word dictionary table that stores the word dictionary information corresponding to the word (1 to 1 of the word dictionary table mentioned above)
24 numbers). (Unit is the number in the word dictionary table in which word dictionary information corresponding to the word is stored.

Now, it is assumed that a conversion unit called -Kihonte key is stored at the head of the conversion sentence buffer, and a nest table corresponding to the conversion unit is inserted by the conversion control unit, which will be described later. At that time, it is divided into "kihon" and "teki", and the character string (word) corresponding to the former is "basic", and the character string (word) corresponding to the latter is "enemy", "drop", "suit", etc. Assume that four types of "targets" are found by the conversion control unit, which will be described later.

An example of the nest table at this time is shown in FIG. 23B.

The conversion parameter (2) is written by a conversion control unit (described later) when converting a conversion unit into a conversion word, and includes various parameters. As shown in Fig. 24 (having a capacity of 9W, M CW (1>=MC■9)
It has been named.

MCW (11 is a register in which a conversion control unit (to be described later) writes the start address of a conversion unit found from within a specified range (conversion parameter (range specified by 11) of the conversion sentence buffer).

MCW (21 is the length of the conversion unit.

M CW (3) vi is the start address of a word for which a conversion control unit, which will be described later, actually searches the word dictionary WF in the conversion unit.

MCW(4)'I'i is the length of the word to be searched.

MC~V(5) j-1 is a register in which the number of words obtained as a result of the search is entered. However, when it is negative, it indicates that the corresponding search result did not exist.

N・fcW(6), B, Space/1 in the word dictionary table that stores the word dictionary information of each word obtained as a result of the search.
6, that is, the space between 16 and 24 defined by MC)V(6) in the word dictionary table is an empty table.

M CW (force is the number divided in the division of the conversion unit.

'MCVW8) is a register in which the number of converted words corresponding to the conversion unit is written. A positive value indicates the number of converted second character strings, and a negative value indicates that the conversion was not possible.

MCW(9) is the number of words whose "certainty" (described later) exceeds a certain threshold value among the MCW(8) converted words.

The conversion control section starts operating according to instructions from the K81 input control section, and returns control to the KB1 input control section after completion.

This control unit converts the range defined by the conversion parameter (1) of the information (first character string) stored in the conversion sentence buffer into a second character string, and stores the result in the nest table and word dictionary. Write to table, conversion parameter (2). Thereafter, it plays the role of starting the conversion unit table creation side leg and the conversion result processing control section. Here, the concept of the conversion control section will be described. The conversion control unit first converts MPA (31
to M P A + 2).

Once the conversion unit is found, MCW(1), MCW(
Set 2). At the same time, MCW (6) is set to 1 to clear the word dictionary table. Next, in order to search the word dictionary WF and find a conversion word corresponding to the conversion unit, keywords of the word dictionary WF are set in MC'Q3) and MC~'/(4). Of course, first of all, MCW (3) = M CW (1), M
Set CW(4)=M CW(2). Also, M.C.W.
7) is given 1 as an initial value. (~(C~V (71 will be described later)) The search is performed by a search control section disposed in the conversion control section a.The search control is performed by M,
CW (31, M CW (4) is set) Search the word dictionary ~ VF for the word corresponding to the keyword, 1 yen information, and set the result in the word dictionary table and MCνVf51. Result of search If found, MCW (5
) and set the number in MCvV in the word dictionary table.
Dictionary information is stored starting from the position indicated by (6).

If no result of the search is found, -1 is set in MC~'J5).

After the above operations of the search control section are completed, the conversion control section examines the search results. If jMCW(5) is negative, 1 is subtracted from MC%4) and the search control unit searches the strange word dictionary again. This operation is repeated until the corresponding word is found. .

If the corresponding word is found, that is, if MCW[) is a positive number, the state at that time is written into the nest table. In other words, MCW3) in Figure 23 (N, MCw+4) wo(
E3) K, MCW (5) wo (C) K, MCW (6)
([Save. Also, (ELK MC the corresponding number in the word dictionary table that stores the dictionary information of the corresponding word.
Fill in only the number set in W+51.

If there is a residual part in the conversion unit in the previous search, MC
Add 1 to W(7) and perform a word dictionary search for the remaining part of the conversion unit in the same manner as the previous time. At that time, MCW (
3) and MCW (4) are changed to the address and length indicating the remainder. However, if the corresponding word is not found in the search for the remaining part, the word found in the search when it was written into the nest table last time is canceled. Therefore, at this time, from MCW(7) to 1
, and the information already written in the nest table is returned to MCW (31 to M CW (6+). Then, 1 is further subtracted from MC to M41 and the search control is executed again. The word dictionary search for the remaining part is If it is successful, save MCW(3) to MCW(6) in the nest table as before, enter the specified items in the (dog column) of the nest table, and if there are still remaining parts, Repeat the above explanation.

The conversion unit is thus converted as one or more words. In the above process, the number of divisions of the conversion unit is entered in the MCW (force).

The conversion ends above, but if the conversion is ultimately not possible, MCW(7) = 1, MCW5) = -1,
It is clear from the above description that MCN4)=1 is set.

- After that, if the conversion is successful, the conversion control section starts the conversion unit table creation control section, and then starts the conversion result processing control section. Also, if the conversion is unsuccessful, MCW (8
) is set to -1 and the conversion result processing control section is activated.

After the conversion result processing control unit finishes its control, the conversion control unit again searches the conversion statement buffer for the next conversion unit to be converted. If it exists, the former consort system and wholesale will be repeated. After converting all the ranges specified by the conversion parameter (1), the conversion control unit returns control to the KB1 input punishment unit. The KBI input control section controls the control as described above.
Move to main control section.

The conversion unit table is a place for storing combinations of words (sometimes only one word) corresponding to conversion units, and is a table in which the certainty of conversion for each combination is entered. The conversion unit table is as shown in Figure 25.
It has a capacity of 1X24W. 11W for each combination
It has a capacity of Therefore, a total of 24 combinations can be stored. For example, as mentioned above, suppose that 11jl and 4 different words corresponding to ``kihon'' and ``teki'' are obtained for the conversion unit ``kihonteki'' (this information is recorded in the nest table). , four combinations of 1×4 can be made as combinations of both. 11W of information is stored for each of these four ways.

The first 8Ws define word combinations, and their numerical values are the numbers of word information stored in the word dictionary table. The next IW is the number of words, that is, the number of numbers written in the first 8W, and the next rW is a column for writing the part of speech of the combination as a whole. For example, the compound word ``basic'', which is a combination of ``basic'' and ``target'', is treated as an adjective verb.The next IW is a column to enter the ``certainty'' of the combination.Conversion unit table Writing is first performed by the conversion unit table creation side controller g1, and then the "certainty" column is written to by the grammar weight controller, which will be described later.
It is modified by a frequency weight control section, an affix weight control section, and a field weight control section.

The main function of the conversion unit table creation control section is to create the conversion unit table. When creating the nest table and word dictionary table conversion parameters)
Take advantage of. Also, in MCW (8), the number of types of combinations of words entered in the conversion unit table, that is, the number of conversion words, is entered.

Next, write down the part of speech and conjugation of the combination as a whole. The problem here is which one to select from among these multiple conversion words.

Therefore, in order to modify the "certainty" term of the conversion unit table, the grammar weight control section, the frequency weight control section,
Activate the connection weight control unit and field weight control unit.

With the above steps, the conversion unit table can be completed.

Next, set MCW (9), but MCW (91 may be the number of types of word combinations entered in the conversion unit table as described above, but here, another setting method may be used. and explain it.

That is, the reliability modified by each of the weight control units is considered and defined as the number of items exceeding a certain threshold.

Further, the threshold may be always constant or may be changed depending on each conversion unit. The threshold is determined by a threshold determination control section included in the conversion unit creation control section. This makes it possible to eliminate the output of converted words that are clearly erroneous.

The grammatical weight control unit performs a grammatical check and weights each of the second character strings converted from the conversion unit. In addition, the grammar check is
It performs within the reference range indicated by MPA (51 and MPA (6)). It is activated by the conversion unit table creation control section, and after completion, the control is returned to the conversion unit table creation control section.

The grammar weight control section is roughly divided into two parts. One is that the converted sentence buffer is divided into a front grammar check section that checks the connection with the front part of the conversion unit, and a rear grammar check section that checks the connection with 0 and the rear part of the conversion unit.

The front grammar check part checks whether the front part of the conversion unit is a case particle when the second character string is a verb.If it is a case particle, it increases the weight, and in other cases, it increases the weight. Do something that reduces weight.

The rear grammar check section is further divided into two parts.

One is the unchangeable kana part check which checks whether the character following the conversion unit matches the pronunciation of the unchangeable kana part in the word dictionary table, and the other is This is a conjugation check that checks whether it matches the conjugation of a verb, etc.

The conjugations of verbs, adjectives, etc. have regularity in their changes, as is common knowledge, and once the type of conjugation of a verb is determined, the letters that follow it will inevitably be determined. Both the unchanged kana part check and the conjugated form check play an important role in determining the "certainty" of the second character string.

, weights are calculated for all second character strings listed in the conversion unit table.

The frequency weight control section has the role of frequently checking and weighting each of the converted words converted from the conversion unit. This control section is activated by the conversion unit table creation control section, and returns its control to the conversion unit table creation control section after completion. The frequency weight control unit performs control such that frequency information of each word listed in the conversion unit table is obtained from the word dictionary table and added to the weight of each second character string.

The connection table (1), as shown in FIG. 26, is a table showing connection relationships between parts of speech, prefixes, or suffixes of independent words. The numbers in the table indicate the degree of connection between each element.

However, although this number was determined empirically, it can be approached to a better value by arbitrarily changing it. The X mark in the figure indicates a very low possibility of connection.

- Connection table (2), as shown in FIG. 27, is a table showing connection relationships based on the connection information shown in FIG. 12. The view of the figure is the same as the connection table (1).

The connection weight control section is responsible for performing a connection check and weighting each of the single side or plural conversion words converted from the conversion unit. Main system, 1
The unit is activated by the conversion unit table creation control unit and returns to the conversion unit table creation control unit after the operation is completed.

This control section is roughly divided into two parts. One is a part-of-speech connection check section using the affix table (1), and the other is a semantic connection check section using the connection table (2). Both are 4′! ; When two character strings consist of two words, it is used to check the connection between them.

The part-of-speech connection check part checks the connection from the parts of speech of the two words that make up the second character string, but the canned parts of speech are based on the word dictionary table 1 listed in the conversion unit table.
The weights of these connections can be obtained from the connection table (1). This weight information is added to the "certainty" column (field) of the conversion unit table.

The semantic connection check section checks the connection between two words constituting the second character string based on their semantic relationship. The connection information shown in FIG. 12 is obtained by classifying words from this standpoint. Canned connection information can be obtained by referring to the word dictionary table from the storage number in the word dictionary table written in the conversion unit table, and the weights of these connections can be obtained from the connection table (2). I can do it. These weight information are added to the certainty column (field) of the conversion unit table. All second character strings written in the conversion unit table are weighted.

Field information as shown in FIG. 13 is set in the conversion word field register in REGISTgR in FIG. 17, but there are two cases for this setting.

One is when a word is uniquely determined by kana-kanji conversion, and the field information of the uniquely determined word in the conversion unit table is set in the converted word field register by the conversion result processing control unit. Ru. Of course, if there is only one word with the same sound, it is treated as uniquely determined and treated in the same way as above. In the other case, when one word is selected using the YES key or NO key in a state where there are multiple homophones and cannot be uniquely converted, the field information of the selected word is retrieved from the conversion word table. YES The S key control unit causes a large loss in the converted word field register. Conversion word field register is 2
Wf) RD99: If two or more compound words, ie, words, are in one conversion position, enter the field information of the two words into the conversion word field register.

The field information entered in the converted word field register is added to the information in the input sentence field register by the field determination control section. The input sentence field register consists of 16 words, and IWOR and D are assigned to each field. For example, if words with bits set in the field of literature have been input 28 times in the past, law 20 times, company 1 degree, science 2 times, and home 4 times, then the above input sentence field The 16 words in the register are 28.20.10.2.4. , that is, as shown in FIG. 13, (0, 28, 20, 10, 2, 0, 4°0,
O, O, O, O, O, 0, 0] are accumulated. Here, the field information in which only the literary field is set in the conversion word field register, that is, one of the fields information WORD in Fig. 13 is o'
Co, 1.0.0. O, O, O,
O, O, O.

o, o, o, o, O, O] field information is set.

When this is done, each bit of the converted word field register is added to each WORD of the input variation register by the field determination controller. Therefore, in this example, 1 is added to the WORD of literature, and the WORD of the field of literature becomes 119. Therefore, in this example, the value of each WORD in the input sentence field register is (0,29°20.10,2,0,4.O,O,0
,0,O,O.

o, o, o').

The field weight control section is responsible for checking each of the single or plural second character strings converted from the conversion unit based on field information and assigning weights to each of them.

The main control section is activated by the conversion unit table creation control section and returns its control to the activated control section after the operation is completed. As shown in the flowchart in Figure 50, weighting is done based on field information, and the contents of the input sentence field register mentioned above and the field information of each of a single or multiple converted words are calculated for each field. , after multiplying, the results of the above multiplications are summed for each converted word and used as the basic data for the weight information of each converted word, and corrections are made to balance it with other weight information, such as weight information from a grammar check, etc. A constant, for example, multiplied by 30 is added to the AC of each corresponding word in the conversion unit table of FIG. Weighting based on field information is performed using the method described above.

The conversion word table is a table that summarizes the conversion result information compiled in the conversion unit table for displaying on CR,T. FIG. 28 shows the format. The capacity is 1024W. One block is assigned to correspond to one conversion unit. One block has HEAD and multiple (2) that give the definition of that block.
It consists of multiple records corresponding to the converted words.

HEAD part includes iRL, iRN, iDN, iCL
, consisting of five iCC items. iCC is 20W
1 and others are IW. 1) IL is record length, iR
N is the number of records, iCL is the number of characters in the kana reading of the conversion unit, and lCC is the character code of the kana reading of the conversion unit. iDN is a register indicating the number of the converted word displayed on the CRT. For example, when the conversion word written in the third record of a certain block is displayed, the iDN is 3. Also, if the kana reading of the HEA D section is displayed, it is set to 0.

Records are 1FL1, 1FL2, iAC, iK
C's 4 (consists of solid items. 1FL1, i F
L2, iAC is IW, and iKC is generally several W (
variable length).

Each record is a record in which the conversion result of the conversion unit, that is, the conversion word, is entered in the form of a character code.

1FL1 is an item to write the field of nuclear transmutation word,
It is the same as what is listed in the word dictionary. 1FL2
is used to enter the field corresponding to the second word when the converted word consists of a plurality of words.

iAC is the "certainty" of the converted word. This is already listed in the conversion unit table.

iKC is the character code of the converted word.

Note that the length iKL of iKC is determined by the maximum length of the character code string of the conversion word. For example, if "city" and "year" are selected in response to the conversion word "toshi", a love out code (all 1s) is added after the year to match the lengths.

The conversion word table is initialized by the conversion result processing control unit. Also, the iDN is initialized to 1 by the conversion result processing control unit, and BACK * - control n
, INV*-control unit, NO+-control unit.

Single kanji selection table FIG. 29 is a comparison table showing PM2 addresses for input data from the keyboard.
Used for single kanji selection control in single kanji input.

The conversion result processing control unit writes the results obtained by the conversion control unit and the conversion unit table creation control unit to the page memory PMI before displaying them on the CII and T, and also writes the results obtained by the conversion control unit and the conversion unit table creation control unit to the page memory PMI, and also presses the BACK key, INV key, NO key, etc. by the operator. It is responsible for creating a conversion word table in preparation for changing the displayed characters according to the operation.

The conversion result processing control unit first moves the contents of the converted sentence buffer in the range indicated by the conversion parameter (1) from the beginning to the PMIO indicated by PNT 1 until the Kanji shift code @ is found. Of course, PNT 1 is incremented sequentially. If @ is found, MCW (9
) to judge whether it is positive or negative.

When MC19) is negative, that is, a conversion word corresponding to the conversion unit is not found, the kanji shift code is changed again from next to @ on the range indicated by conversion parameter (1), MPA (2), or kanji is changed again. Move information from the conversion statement buffer to the page memo IJ PMI until the shift code @ is found. The transfer of the corresponding Kanji shift release code shall be omitted.

When 1ViC~v(9) is 1, that is, when one conversion word corresponding to the conversion unit is found, the number of the word dictionary table corresponding to the conversion word entered in the conversion unit table is converted into a character code. Convert and page memo IJP indicated by PNTl
Write to MI. At this time, PNT1 is sequentially incremented. Next, the field of the converted word is set in the converted word field register, and the field determination control section is activated. When the control returns from the field determination control unit, the conversion parameters (1) are set again after the kanji two-knot release code of the conversion unit.
'Move information from the conversion sentence buffer to the page memo IJ PMI until the range indicated by MPA (2) or until the Kanji shift code @ is found again.

When MCW (9) is 2 or more, that is, when multiple conversion words corresponding to the conversion unit are found, the conversion parameter, meter MP
Write bit 15 of A(4) and 0X bit 14 to 1 to PMI indicated by PNTl, and set PN
Increment TI. Next, writing of the conversion word table is started. The format of the conversion word table is as described above. The conversion result processing control unit refers to the conversion unit table and extracts 14CW (9) conversion words from the conversion unit table in descending order of "certainty". By referring to the word dictionary table, the character code and field information of the converted word are found and written into the converted word table.

Also, the HE of the block written in the conversion word table
The reading of the conversion unit and other information are written in AD. At that time, enter 1 in iDN.

If you have finished writing to the conversion word table and have finished writing to the conversion word table, click MP.
Update A(4). Thereafter, the character code corresponding to the first code of the block just written to the conversion word table is written into the PMI again. At this time, even if a love-out code is written in the character code, it shall be written without omitting it. However, as mentioned above, the love-out code is displayed as a space on the CRT. Once you have finished writing the conversion word, start again with the conversion parameter (1), M
PA All information is moved from the converted sentence buffer to the page memory PMI within the range indicated by (2) or until the Kanji shift code @ is found again.

This concludes the explanation of the cases where MCW9) is negative, the case where it is 1, and the case where it is 2 or more. Next, the conversion result processing control unit sets a parameter MPA (3) that specifies the conversion end range +1.

The set value of MPA (3) is set to P from the conversion statement buffer.
The last address whose information was transferred to MI is set to +1.

Next, the conversion result processing control unit checks whether the number of conversion words corresponding to the conversion unit is 1 or not, and if it is 1, writes the field of the conversion word in the conversion word field register. Start the field determination control section. When control is returned from the field determination control section, the conversion result processing control section returns the control to the conversion control section.

The field determination control section adds the data entered in the converted word field register as described above to each field of the input sentence field register. Therefore, when the contents of the learning word field register are added one after another, the input sentence field register will overflow, but the field determination side 41a section is designed to prevent such overflow when the addition result is 31 or more. Control is performed to subtract 1 from the input sentence field register. The field determination control unit is the conversion result processing control unit or YES
The key control control valve section is activated, and after the control is completed, the control is returned to the activated control section 1.

Print key control example part 1 (c) Has the role of outputting information stored in the page memory to the outside. It is activated by the main control unit, and after the operation is completed, the control is returned to the main control unit. The print key control unit is ,Bage Memo IJ PMl
The information from the beginning to the end is output to the output device OU in order, but at this time bit 15 = bit 14
= Anything other than O is a control code and should not be output.

The cursor shift key control unit has the role of moving the cursor displayed on the CFLT one by one. The cursor shift key control section is started by the main control section, and returns the control to the main control section 1 after the operation of the cursor shift key is completed.
It has the function of incrementing .

The EDIT key control unit has the role of searching the second character string on the display screen for locations where a plurality of converted words exist. E
The DIT key control section is activated by the main control section and returns its control to the main control section after its operation is completed.

EDIT key Valve control part - Gimemo IJ Scan the PMI and search for the position where bit 15-0, bit 14 = 1. When scanning the page memory PMI, the PNTI is sequentially incremented, so by ending the operation of the control unit at the position where the information is found, the PNTI can be automatically set to the position of the information. The above information means that there are multiple converted words that follow it, so by the above operation, it is possible to search for the location where multiple converted words exist in the second character string, and CR , T, the cursor symbol CC is displayed at the position of the * mark displayed in front of the conversion word.

YES key system Partially, when the first character string is converted to the second character string and there are multiple converted words, the second character string displayed on the CRT among the multiple second character strings is , a function to select the second character string, and a function to start the field determination control section in order to determine the field of the input sentence using the selected second character string, and a function to start the field determination control section to determine the field of the input sentence. It has a function to search for the position of the second character string to be selected next.

The YES key control section is activated by the main control section, and returns its control to the main control section after its operation is completed.

The YES key control unit first selects the P that the PNTI is pointing to.
The information in Ml is bit 15 = O and bit 14
Check whether = 1 equals 6.6. If bit15=0
If bit 14 = 1, the control is immediately returned to the main control section. In other examples, bit1
If 5 = 0 and bit 14 = 1, then the control
The wholesaler may be moved to the control from the 14th line on the next page. If b
If it15=o and bit14=1, perform the following operation.

The YES key system part refers to the conversion word table by the address pointed to by the lower bits 0 to 9 of the information in PMl specified by PNTI.

The current CR is in the HEAD part of the block in the conversion word table.
, T is stored in the iDN. The field of the converted word is stored in the record.

The YES key control section writes the field information into the converted word field register and activates the field determination control section.

When the control and distribution is returned from the field decision side ``Misakibe'', YE
The S key control unit selects the page number corresponding to the * mark on the CRT currently pointed to by the cursor symbol CC! l＞IJ
Set bit 15 of the PMI content to 1. As a result, the DCOT (display control circuit) changes the * mark that has been displayed on the CRT to a space.

Next, search for a conversion word on the CRT to be selected. This function is
It is basically the same as the DIT key control section. however,[)
The difference is that the IT key control section scans from the beginning of the PMI, whereas this control section scans from the location currently pointed to by the PNTI.

This completes the operation of the YES key control section.

NO key valve control part, the first character string is converted to the second character string, and when there are multiple second character strings, instead of the '@2 character string currently displayed on the CRT, It plays the role of displaying the other second character string.

The No key control section is activated by the main control section and returns its control to the main control section after its operation is completed.

For the NO key system/1 wholesaler, first, the information in PMl pointed to by PNTI is bit 15 = o and bit 14 =
Check if it is 1. If bit15=o and bi
If t-14=1, the control is immediately returned to the main control unit. If bit 15 = 0 and bit
If 14 = 1, perform the following operation.

The No key control unit first selects the lower bi of the information in the PMl.
The conversion word table is referred to by the address pointed to by t O5-bit 9. In the HEAD portion of this block of the conversion word table, a record containing the conversion word currently displayed on the CRT is stored in the iDN.

The No key control unit increments the current iDN. At this time, if the iDN exceeds the total number of codes N, the iDN is changed to 1. Therefore, the No key control unit rotates iDN in the − constant direction within the range from 1 to iRN every time it is activated. After that, the No key control unit picks up the character code stored in the record corresponding to the iDN that has just been changed, and writes the page memo! Change the relevant information in JPMI. After the above operations are completed, control is returned to the main control section.

The BACK key control section is almost the same as the No key control section. The difference is that the No key control part is the iDN of the conversion word table.
is rotated in the increasing direction within the range of 1 to iRN, whereas the BACK key control section is rotated in the decreasing direction.

The INV key control unit plays the role of converting the second character string (conversion word) into the first character string (conversion unit).

The INV key control section is activated by the main control section and returns control to the main control section after its operation is completed.

The INT key control unit first selects the lower order b of the information in the PMl.
The conversion word table is referred to by the address indicated by it O to bit 9. The reading corresponding to the conversion word currently displayed on the CRT, that is, the first character string, is written in the HEAD portion of the block of the conversion word table. The INV key control unit changes the second character string on the page memo IJ PMl to the $1 character string. Generally, the first character string has more characters than the second character string, so all of the information in the page memo IJ PM1 is deleted to prevent information from being missing.

After the above operations are completed, control is returned to the main control section.

The INT key control unit includes all control units and various memories,
This is a control unit that initializes registers, etc., and is activated by the main control unit when text input starts. After the operation is completed, control is returned to the main control section.

The DIN input control section reads data from DIN, the means for directly specifying and inputting Chinese characters as described above, and controls inputting it into PMl. That is, when the AMK inputs single kanji characters and the IDK inputs directly, data is read from the DIN and output to the PMI.

The single kanji input control unit sends the data from F'IFO, that is, the reading of the kanji, to the keyword register when AMK is inputting a single kanji. The KF search control unit refers to the KF, ie, the kanji file, based on the reading of the kanji entered in the keyword register, and sends the corresponding kanji group to the address PNT2 of the page memory 2 (PM2). The kanji group entered into PM2 passes through DCOT and is displayed on CR and T under the control of the single kanji input control section. As described above, only the bottom row is displayed as shown in FIG. 30, and the other rows are hidden.

That is, in the single kanji input state, the DCOT selects the data of PM2 under the control of the single kanji input control section and displays it on the CRT.

Select a desired kanji from the displayed kanji group by pressing the key corresponding to the display, and enter the kanji code into PMI.
send to

As a modified example, in the above-mentioned single kanji input, the text and the single kanji are not listed and displayed at the same time, but by doing so as shown in FIG. 31, the operability can be improved.

If we explain the operation of the character processing device using the flow chart shown in FIGS. 33 to 60,
The figure shows the main control flowchart, and Y in the figure indicates YES.
XN is an abbreviation for NO.

Main control unit is mode key (DIN, IDK, AMK)
, FIF□, print key, cursor shift key, ED
IT key, YES key, BACK key, INV key, N
It reads information from DEVICE such as o, -, and INT keys, determines the relevant job (JOB), and activates the corresponding control section. Here, the mode key has a function that can be read at any time. And other DEVICE.

A device that has a function that indicates whether information has been received by the DEVI CE, that is, whether there is information that has not yet been read, and a function that stores the information until it is read. shall be.

When there is input from the FIFO, the control section that is activated differs depending on the state of the mode key. That is, when the AMK key is set to automatic, the KBI input control section.

When the AMK key is a single kanji and the IDK key is indirect, the single kanji input control section is activated, and when the AMK key is a single kanji and the IDK key is direct, the DIN input control section is activated.

If there is an input from the print key, it is the print control part. If there is an input from the cursor shift key, it is the cursor shift key control part. If there is an input from the EDIT key, it is the EDIT key control part. If there is an input from the Y valve key, it is the YES key control part. , if there is an input from the BACK key, the BACK key control unit.

If there is an input from the INV key, the INV key control unit, NO
It is assumed that when there is an input from the key, the No key control section is activated, and when there is input from the INT key, the INT key control section is activated.

Fig. 34 is a flowchart of KBI input control, and the part surrounded by a one-dot line 101 shows a control routine that leaves the last six characters of kana data that has already been converted in the converted sentence buffer as necessary. It is something. In this flowchart, N (I) indicates the data at address 1 of the buffer or memo IJN.

IHBUF is a conversion statement buffer, and ILA is used to transfer the first data part of the reference range for the conversion of the next input data after the data in IHBUF is converted.
The address information and INPUT of HBU and F are 0 in the initial state or when conversion control is completed, and 1 during input.

IKS indicates a shift state of a kanji, α indicates a shift to a kanji, and β indicates a shift to a non-kanji. When the initial value of "INPUT" is 0, that is, when the input is started or immediately after the kana-kanji conversion is completed, follow the flow in 101. In the former case, the beginning of the conversion range is In the latter case, the last 6 characters of the part that has already been converted are packed from the beginning of IHBUF, that is, IHBUF (1), and then converted to the beginning of the conversion range, that is, M P A (1). The beginning of the reference range, ie, M P A' (5) is determined.

If “INPUT” is not 0 or the key input after passing through the flow in 101 above is a kanji shift code, the current state is a shift state to a non-kanji character, that is, I KS =
It is checked whether ■, and if I K S =■, the kanji shift code is changed to @; otherwise, it is changed to , and the process moves to ■ or ・D. , 13 is for inputting Romaji, and conversion from Romaji to Kana is performed as necessary.

In FIG. 34C, it is determined whether or not kana-kanji conversion should be started, and if so, the conversion range and reference range are determined. Further, in FIG. 34B, 102 is a step for determining whether it is a hiragana or katakana;
03 is hiragana, katakana, then ni, na, i, la, sa, chi,
Two.

This is a step to determine whether the letters ``i'', ``u'', and ``su'' are in uppercase or lowercase letters.

In FIG. 34C, in step 104, overflow occurs when the current address is more than 20, and in step 105, the conversion start code is a circle "." 9 points [, J

1. If MPA(3)>MPA(2), the character string to be converted does not exist in the conversion sentence buffer, and the process returns.

2. Search for a conversion unit in the conversion sentence BUF within the range of MPA (3) and MPA (2).

・3. If the conversion unit does not exist, return. When this routine is started for the first time and reaches step 2, there is generally a conversion unit, so the process proceeds to step 4. .

4. Set the conversion unit range found in step 2 to M(W(1
), M CW (2) is set.

5. Initialize the word dictionary table NO.

6. Set initial values to M CW (3) and M CW (4) as the first character examples to be searched from the word dictionary WF.

7. Set NFSTDEPTH corresponding to the number of compound words to 1.
Initialize to. That is, initially it is assumed that the conversion unit consists of a single word.

8. Start the search control section, M CW (3), MC
Search for words using the character string defined by W(4) as a keyword.

9. If the corresponding word is found as a result of the search, MCW(5)>0 and the process proceeds to step 10. If the corresponding word is not found, MCW(5)=-t and the process proceeds to step 25.

10-13. Reserve M CW (3) to M CW (6) in the NEST table.

14. Write the start address of the word dictionary table storing the dictionary information of the words found as a result of the search into the E field of the nest table, corresponding to the number of words found.

In this embodiment, up to 24 homophones can be written.

15. Update word dictionary table empty number 9.

1. Conversion to the nest table; by the control unit. Search results are filled in. A compound word (that is, a converted word) consisting of a combination of nine words is created from this nest table, and the number of the word dictionary table is entered in the IW to 8th W of the conversion unit table. (Of course, it may not be a compound word.) Enter the number of combinations of two compound words in M CW (8).

3. Enter the number of words for the combination in the word count column of the conversion unit table.

4. Steps 4 to 24 are for determining the respective parts of speech for the converted words created in step 1.

In step 4, the decoy NO. of the conversion unit table is initialized to 1.

5. If the word is a compound word, proceed to step 6.

If MCW(7)=1, that is, the converted word consists of one word, the process advances to step 24.

If the word is a compound word consisting of 62 words, proceed to step 7.

If the word is a compound word consisting of three or more words, proceed to step 23.

7 Check the part of speech of the first word.

8. If it is a prefix, proceed to step 20. If it is not a prefix, proceed to step 9.

9. If it is a noun, go to step 10. If it is not a noun, go to step 23.

10. Check the part of speech of the second word.

11. If the part of speech of the second word is a noun, proceed to step 21.

If it is not a noun, proceed to step 13.

12. If the part of speech of the second word is a su-odd noun, step 2
Proceed to step 2.

If it is not a mundane noun, proceed to step 13.

13. If the part of speech of the second word is a suffix, proceed to step 14. If it is not a suffix, proceed to step 23.

14.15. If the character code of the i2 word is "target", the process proceeds to step 16; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 23.

16. Enter the fact that it is an adjective verb on the part of speech side of the conversion unit table.

17. Write in the usage column that it is da usage.

18, 19. Steps 5 to 24 are applied to the subete conversion word entered in the conversion unit table.

FIG. 51 is a conversion result processing flowchart, and each step will be explained below.

1. Initialize current address J to MPA (3).

2. Repeat the following operations until the current address J becomes MPA (2) + 1. 0 1 Read the contents of the current address J from the conversion statement BUF.

4. Since the read content is the kanji shift code @, proceed to step 9. If it is not @, proceed to step 5.

5. Move the read contents into E%11 indicated by PNTt.

6. Increment PNTI. 07. Increment current address J.

8. At the stage of step 8, the processed address +1 is stored in the current address J, and the value is transferred to the MPA.
Set to (3).

9. M(W(91=-1, that is, when the conversion word does not exist, proceed to step 10.MOW(91←-1, that is, when the conversion word exists, proceed to step 17.

10 to 16 Read the contents of the converted sentence BTJF and write them into the page memory PMI in order. At this time, the current address J and PNT 1 are sequentially incremented. If the current address J reaches MPA (2) + 1 on the way, proceed to step 8. Also, the read content is the kanji shift code @
If so, proceed to step 8. Furthermore, if the read content is the Kanji shift release code ■, writing the code to PNT1 is omitted.

17. If there is one converted word, proceed to step 23; if there are two or more converted words, proceed to step 18.
