Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the load of users by using a user dictionary which decides whether the KANJI conversion is applied to the words registered in a system dictionary or those registered in the user dictionary and deletes the words under display out of the user dictionary. CONSTITUTION:When a KANA (Japanese syllabary) character string is inputted from an input means 1, this character string is temporarily stored in an input character string memory part 2. A KANA/KANJI (Chinese character) conversion control part 3 takes the description data including KANJI out of a system dictionary 4 and a user dictionary 5 against the input character string and stores the description data into an output character string memory part 7. Then the part 3 adopts the words contained in the dictionary 5 as candidates to the input characters. A dictionary type deciding part 6 decides the words registered in the user dictionary to the description of the relevant words. The result of this decision is shown on a display means 8 together with the KANA/ KANJI conversion result stored in the part 7. When the means 1 instructs the deletion of a word of the dictionary 5, the reading way and the part of speech of the relevant word are deleted out of the dictionary 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device capable of converting a character string input in kana to a sentence containing kana and kanji.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, kana-kanji conversion devices have been widely used in various Japanese language processing devices including Japanese word processors.

There are many words in Japanese. However, if words that are not often used in daily life, such as technical terms, are registered in the system dictionary, that is, a dictionary that is pre-stored in the device itself, the dictionary becomes huge and the search time increases.
A problem arises in that homophone selection becomes complicated.

For this reason, we have added a user dictionary that can be set and deleted by the user separately from the system dictionary, and we have made it possible to register words that are not registered in the system dictionary but are often used in the user dictionary. There are many devices.

In a kana-kanji conversion device having this user dictionary, in order to delete the character strings and their pronunciations registered in the user dictionary from the dictionary, a special program (e.g. This is often done by activating a user dictionary correction program, etc., checking the character rate display device currently registered in the user dictionary, and instructing the user to delete if there is anything to be deleted.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention When a user attempts to delete a word in a user dictionary as described above, the user is required to take the trouble of calling up a user dictionary management program. Furthermore, if many words are registered in the user dictionary, it becomes a hassle to specify the word to be deleted from among the many words, which requires many key operations from the user, which makes it difficult to document documents smoothly. This has the problem that not only the creation is interrupted, but also a burden is placed on the user.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve all of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention distinguishes and displays whether Kana-Kanji conversion is a registered word in the system dictionary or a registered word in the user dictionary J) during document creation. means for giving an instruction to delete all words registered in the user dictionary being displayed; and means for deleting the character string from the user dictionary based on the instruction.

Effects With the above configuration, words registered in the user dictionary can be deleted during kana-kanji conversion without calling the user dictionary management program, so the burden on the user can be completely reduced.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a kana-kanji conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a kana-kanji conversion device in one embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 1, the Kana key for inputting a ephemeral character string, the conversion key for instructing full kana-kanji conversion for the inputted kana character string, and the converted character string being displayed on the display device are words registered in the user dictionary. case,
2 is an input storage unit that stores the kana character string input from the input means 1, and 3 performs kana-kanji conversion processing on the input kana character string. Conversion control unit, system dictionary that stores word pronunciation data, notation data mixed with kanji, and parts of speech of the notation data for each word in correspondence with each other; 5 is a system dictionary that can be freely rewritten and deleted by the user; Similar to the system dictionary 4, this user dictionary stores, for each word, the pronunciation data of the word, the notation data including kanji, and the part of speech of the notation data in association with each other. 6. A dictionary type determination unit that determines whether a character string containing kanji obtained as a result of the ephemeral kanji conversion process is a registered word in the system dictionary 4 or a registered word in the user dictionary 5; An output character string storage unit stores the kanji-mixed character string obtained by the conversion process and all its dictionary types, and 8 stores the kana-kanji conversion results stored in the output character string storage unit 7.
This is a display means that distinguishes and displays information according to its type.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the kana-kanji conversion device of this embodiment, in which 9 is a keyboard, 1o is a display device, 11 is a central processing unit, 12 is a read-only memory (hereinafter referred to as ROM), and 13 is a random memory. Access memory (hereinafter referred to as RAM)
), 14 is a static random access
A memory (hereinafter referred to as 5-RAM), and the input means 1 in FIG.
The user dictionary 5 is stored in the 5-RAM 14 by the ROM 12, and the input string storage section 2 and output string storage section 7 are stored in the RA.
The Kana-Kanji conversion control section 3 and the dictionary type determination means section 6 are respectively realized by M13, and the central processing unit 11 executes the program stored in the ROMI 2 while interacting with the RAM 13 and S-1'1A 114. It has been painstakingly realized.

The entire operation of the kana-kanji conversion apparatus of this embodiment constructed as described above will be explained below using the flow chart shown in FIG.

First, in step (7), when a kana character string, for example "tankan", is input from the input means 1, the input character string storage section 2fd stores this character string "tankan" for - days. When a conversion instruction is issued from the input means 1, in step (a) the dekana-kanji conversion control unit 3 determines whether the kana character string input by the human power 1st stage 1 contains kana-kanji or other characters from the system dictionary 4 and the user dictionary 5. The notation of ``Bootara'' is entered and stored in the output character string storage section 7. Here, if the notation of "single kanji conversion" is registered in the user dictionary 6 for the pronunciation of "tankan", the kana-kanji conversion control unit 3 selects the word "single kanji conversion" registered in the user dictionary 5 as a candidate. adopt.

In step (1), the dictionary type determining unit 6 determines that the notation "single kanji conversion" is "a registered word in the user dictionary."

In step 1), as shown in FIG. 4, the result determined in step 1 and the kana-kanji conversion result stored in the output character string storage section 7 are displayed together on the display means 8.

At this time, if deletion of a word from the user dictionary 5 is instructed by the input means 1, it is determined in step (3) that deletion of a word from the user dictionary 5 has been instructed, and the process moves to step (g). In step (Kari), it is determined whether or not the word that is instructed to be deleted is actually a word in the user dictionary. Therefore, in response to the input of "tankan", if deletion of the word in the user dictionary 5 is instructed after conversion, In step (1), "single kanji conversion" is deleted from the user dictionary 5 along with its pronunciation and part of speech.

As explained above, in the kana-kanji conversion device of this embodiment, when the user wants to delete a word from the user dictionary 5,
You can instruct users to delete words during kana-kanji conversion.
Documents can be created smoothly, and there is no need to call up a user dictionary management program, reducing the user's burden91.

Effects of the Invention The present invention provides a means for distinguishing and displaying whether notation data for a kana character string is registered in a system dictionary or a user dictionary, and This device is equipped with an input means for giving an instruction to delete the currently displayed notation of a word from the user dictionary, and allows the user to easily discover words that have been wasted and wasted in the user dictionary while creating a document. Moreover, if it is discovered, it can be deleted immediately, allowing for smooth document creation.
