Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is utilized in a Japanese word processor.

〔overview〕

The present invention uses a word processor to convert the kana-kanji conversion result of date information starting from the Japanese era into the year information starting from the Western calendar, and calculates the corresponding day of the week by referring to the calendar for this conversion result. By adding this to the kana-kanji conversion result and displaying it, it is possible to automatically add the day of the week to date information.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, in a word processor, when inputting date information starting from the Japanese era, such as "Tuesday, August 11, 1986,"
” and then convert the kana-kanji to the desired “Showa 6
August 11, 2015 (Tuesday)”. In this case, when the day of the week is not displayed on the manuscript, the operator has to research and input it.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, this process is time-consuming and is prone to errors as the investigation is conducted manually.

An object of the present invention is to solve this drawback and provide a word processor that can automatically add day of the week information to date information starting from the Japanese era.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a word processor equipped with an input means, a display means, and a control unit including a kana-kanji conversion means, which includes a day-of-the-week calculation means having a built-in calendar in which days of the week correspond to dates;
The control unit includes a dictionary corresponding to the Western calendar and the Japanese era, and the control unit includes an input means, a means for converting date information inputted by the kana-kanji conversion means into the Western calendar or the Japanese era, and a means for converting the date information into the Western calendar or the Japanese era. It is characterized by including means for adding the day of the week to the display means and displaying the date by referring to the day of the week calculation means.

[Effect]

In Japan, the solar calendar was adopted in the 6th year of the Meiji era, and the days of the week were added after that, so the days of the week information were added to the Japanese era name in the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras.

Since this corresponding dictionary is easy to create, the conversion can be done easily. Date information can be added to the year, month, and day converted from the Western calendar using known means.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, input means 1 is for inputting dates and sentences;
An example is a keyboard based on Japanese Industrial Standards. The display means 2 displays to the operator the result of conversion by the kana/kanji character string inputted from the input means 1 by the kana/kanji conversion means 4. This is realized with a cathode ray tube or a liquid crystal panel. Control part 3
The kana-kanji conversion means 4, which is controlled by the input means 1, converts a kana character string inputted from the input means 1 into a sentence containing kanji and kana, and is a known type that is implemented in a general word processor.

Here, the feature of the present invention is that the date information starting from the Japanese era, which is inputted from the input means 1 and converted by the kana-kanji conversion means 4, is inputted by the control unit 3, and the corresponding year information is converted from the date starting from the Western calendar. an annual conversion means 5 for converting into , a day of the week calculation means 6 for calculating the corresponding day of the week when the control unit 3 inputs the date information from the Western calendar sent out by the annual conversion means 5; This is because the control section 3 includes a day of the week addition means 7 that adds the calculation result to the conversion result of the kana-kanji conversion means 4. The annual conversion means 5 is calculated by referring to the dictionary 5A that corresponds to Japanese eras and Western calendars,
This function converts date information based on the Japanese era, such as "August 11, 1987," to date information based on the Western calendar, such as "August 11, 1987."

This Japanese era/Western calendar compatible dictionary 5A is composed of a Japanese era data section 51 and a Western calendar data section 52, as shown in part in FIG.
"Taisho" is associated as r1912J, and is used to obtain the corresponding Western calendar data using the Japanese era data as a heading.

The day of the week calculating means 6 calculates date information calculated from the Western calendar, for example r
This method calculates the day of the week on August 11, 1987, and is a well-known method implemented in general digital clocks.

The day of the week addition means 7 adds the day of the week information "(Tuesday)" obtained by the day of the week calculation means 7 to the date "August 11, 1988" obtained by the kana-kanji conversion means 4, and as a result, "August 11, 1988" is added. August 11th (Tuesday)''.

The control unit 3 controls the overall operation.

The operation of this embodiment is shown in FIG.
This will be explained using an example where you want to input "1st (Tuesday)". First, from the input means 1, the character string "62 years old, 8 years old, 11 days" shown in FIG. 3 is input. The control unit 3 sends this character string to the kana-kanji conversion means 4 and instructs it to perform kana-kanji conversion. The kana-kanji conversion means 4 converts the sent character string into a sentence containing kana and kanji, and converts the sent character string into a sentence containing kana and kanji.
"day" can be obtained.

Next, the control unit 3 sends this result to the annual conversion means 5 and instructs it to convert the Japanese era to the Western calendar.

Annual conversion method 5 is shown in Figure 3 ■ "August 11, 1986"
When the search result is received, the Japanese era data section 51 of the Japanese era/Western calendar correspondence dictionary 5A is searched to obtain the Western calendar starting data of the corresponding Western calendar data section 52. In this case, the Japanese era name "Showa" and the data in the western calendar data section 52 are sequentially compared, and r1926J is obtained as the western calendar data corresponding to the matched Japanese era name. Next, use “62” for “Showa 62” to 1926.
+62-1 = 1987, starting from the Japanese era "Showa 62"
The year 1987 corresponding to the year 1987 is obtained. As a result, Figure 3 (■) is obtained by converting Figure 3 (■).

Next, the control unit 3 sends this result to the day of the week calculation means 6 and instructs the calculation of the day of the week for this day. The day of the week calculating means 6 calculates that this day is Tuesday based on "August 11, 1987" in FIG. As a result, “(
fire)” is obtained.

Next, the control unit 3 sends the day of the week addition means 7 the result obtained by the kana-kanji conversion means 4 as shown in FIG.
It is instructed to add "(Tuesday)" shown in FIG. The day of the week adding means 7 combines the above two results to create the desired figure 3.
"Tuesday, August 11, 1985" is obtained.

As explained above, when date information is entered based on the Japanese era, the day of the week is automatically added.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, day of the week information is automatically added to date information inputted into a word processor that is calculated based on the Japanese era name, thereby making it possible to perform smooth input operations without the need to check the day of the week. effective.
