Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive the effective utilization of a user dictionary and memory resources by converting the user dictionary designated by a designating means to a system dictionary by a converting means. CONSTITUTION:In the case of registering a word which is not registered in a system dictionary into a user dictionary, a user inputs user information for showing the user himself, and inputs a user dictionary name in which it is desired to register the word, for instance, a dictionary name for showing a user dictionary 3A. As a result, a CPU 9 gives an instruction to a dictionary switching part 5 so as to select a user dictionary registered in a user dictionary storage area 3. Therefore, the switching part 5 selects the user dictionary 3A and 3B, based on an instruction from the CPU 9. Subsequently, when the user inputs a desired word, its desired word is registered in the dictionary 3A, and added to the system dictionary. Next, after the name of a dictionary generated by the user is inputted, the CPU 9 converts the dictionary 3A to a format of the system dictionary. In such a way, the system dictionary is prepared from the dictionary 3A.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a document creation device using a kana-kanji conversion method.

(Prior Art) Conventional document creation devices generally include a keyboard equipped with character keys such as kana-kanji and English characters and function keys such as a kanji conversion key, and a keyboard that is equipped with character keys such as kana-kanji and English characters and function keys such as a kanji conversion key. a character conversion unit that converts a character string in the pronunciation kana into a corresponding character string mixed with kanji using a kanji conversion dictionary; a document editing unit that edits the converted character string according to a preset format; It has a display section that displays the input document and the input character string of pronunciations.

In such a document creation device, the kanji conversion key referred to by the character conversion unit is prepared in advance in the fi position,
Two floors: a system dictionary that cannot be changed by the user, and a user dictionary that users can freely create and easily add or delete! There are types.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional document creation Hllff, the user dictionary is assumed to be used by the individual user who creates the dictionary, so a storage area in which the user dictionary is registered is set in advance for each user.

For this reason, the number of words that can be registered in the system is limited, making it unsuitable for registering technical terms etc. all at once. Also, since user dictionaries are managed by each user, if you want to use a user dictionary created by another user, for example, you can copy the other user's user dictionary onto your desktop, and then copy that user dictionary to your own. User dictionaries must be registered in the system as their own user dictionaries in the storage area where the user dictionaries are registered, resulting in multiple dictionaries with the same content on one device, which was a waste of memory. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device that can effectively utilize a user dictionary and memory resources.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a system dictionary that is commonly used by multiple users and whose contents cannot be changed, a user dictionary that is created by the user and whose contents can be changed, and The system includes a specifying means for specifying a dictionary, and a converting means for converting the specified user dictionary into a system dictionary.

(Operation) In the present invention, a designated user dictionary is converted into a system dictionary and registered in the system. As a result, when converting kana-kanji when multiple users perform kana-kanji conversion operations,
Kana-kanji conversion is performed by referring to the system dictionary including the user's own user dictionary and user dictionaries of other users that have been converted into system dictionaries.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of a document creation device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The figure is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a document creation device according to the present invention. In the figure, an input unit 1 has a keyboard equipped with various character keys such as kana characters and English characters, and single-function keys such as a kanji conversion key, and is used to input character strings of pronunciations and the like.

As in the past, the system dictionaries 2A and 2B are dictionaries for kana-kanji conversion that are unique to the device, and the contents of the dictionaries cannot be changed by the user. These dictionaries are stored in the system dictionary registration area 2.

The user dictionaries 3A, 3B and the user dictionaries 4A, 4B are capable of changing dictionary contents for each user. Here, the user dictionaries 13A and 3B are the dictionaries of the first user, and the user dictionaries 4A and 4B are the user dictionaries of the second user. These dictionaries 13A to 3B and dictionaries 4A to 4B are stored in user dictionary storage areas 3 and 4 of a preset size for user space, corresponding to each user. Also,
Each of these dictionaries is set to correspond to one or more icons.

The entry switching unit 5 selects the system dictionary, user dictionaries 3A, 3B,
Alternatively, each of the user dictionaries 4A and 4B is selectively referred to.

The character conversion unit 6 converts the character string input from the input unit 1 into a corresponding character string mixed with kanji using the system dictionary and the user dictionaries W3A, 3B, or the user dictionaries 14A, 4B.

The expenditure editing section 7 edits the character string converted by the character conversion section 6 according to a preset format. The display unit 8 displays the edited document and the input character string of pronunciations.

A central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 9 controls each of the above-mentioned parts, and also instructs the entry switching unit 5 to select a corresponding user dictionary based on user information indicating the user input by the user. Instruct.

Next, the conversion operation from the user dictionary to the system dictionary of the above-mentioned nation creation device will be explained.

Here, a conversion operation from a user dictionary to a system dictionary by a predetermined operation by the first user will be explained.

First, if the user wants to register a word that is not registered in the system dictionary in the user dictionary, the user inputs user information indicating the user and inputs the name of the user dictionary in which the word is to be registered, for example, the dictionary name indicating user dictionary 13A. . This will cause CPU9
Instructs the dictionary switching unit 5 to select the user dictionary registered in the user dictionary storage area 3 based on the input user information that is smaller than the first user. The dictionary switching unit 5 then selects the user dictionaries 13A and 3B based on instructions from the CPU 9. next,
When the user inputs a desired word, the desired candy is registered in the user dictionary 13A and added to the system.

Next, if the user wants to register more words or make his/her user dictionary commonly used by multiple users, the user can specify the user's dictionary that he or she wants to convert into a system dictionary, and then convert that user dictionary to the system dictionary. All you have to do is convert it into a dictionary and register it in the system.

That is, the user displays his or her own desktop on the display unit 8, selects one or more desired icons from among the icons representing his or her user dictionary displayed on the desktop, and then selects a desired icon or icons on the desktop. From the Japanese processing related menu displayed on
Select "Create". Then, a window containing an item for specifying a ``dictionary name'' and an ``execution'' item is displayed on the screen. Here, it is assumed that the user has selected an icon corresponding to the user dictionary 3A.

Next, after the user enters the name of the dictionary to be created in the "Dictionary Name" item in the window, that is, the name of the system dictionary when the user dictionary 3A is converted to the system dictionary,
When the "Execute" item is selected, the CPU 9 executes the user command! i
Convert 3A to system dictionary format. Then, a system dictionary is created from the user dictionary 3A, and the created system dictionary is displayed on the desktop as an application icon that can be added to the system.

Then, the user selects the application icon and performs an operation to register the created system dictionary in the system, for example, selects an item to register the system dictionary in the system from the menu displayed on the desktop. Accordingly, the CPU 9 registers the created system dictionary (converted user dictionary 13A) in the system dictionary registration area 2. At this point, dictionary contents similar to those of the user dictionary 3A exist in the system dictionary storage area 2 and the user dictionary storage area 3.

By the way, the words that were previously registered in the user dictionary 13A are no longer needed after being converted to the system dictionary and added to the system, so they can be deleted from the user dictionary 3A. This allows a new word to be registered in the user dictionary 3A.

As described above, by converting the user dictionary 3A for the first user into a system dictionary and adding it to the system,
The user dictionary converted to the system dictionary can be used not only by the first user but also by multiple users (in the example, the second user).
can also be used.

Also, enter the necessary words in the user dictionary 8 (for example, user dictionary 3A).
When the contents of the user dictionary become full, you can convert the user dictionary to a system dictionary and add it to the system, deleting old words from the user dictionary and adding new words. It will also be possible to start registration.

According to the above embodiment, by converting the user dictionary into a system dictionary and registering it in the system, there is no need to register another user's user dictionary as one's own user dictionary, as in the conventional case. You can save money.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, by converting the user dictionary specified by the specifying means into a system dictionary by the converting means, a plurality of users can use the user dictionary converted into the system dictionary. For user entries that have been referenced or converted to the system dictionary, the dictionary contents can be deleted from the user dictionary and new words can be registered, making effective use of the user dictionary and memory resources. It has the advantage of being able to
