Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the sentence preparing efficiency by providing a means which converts a KANA (Japanese syllabary) character string inputted with retrieval of a dictionary into a KANA-KANJI (Chinese character) character string and then converts the KANJI or a phrase contained in a designated character setting table into a blank part and a means which writes reading KANA at the upper part of the blank part. CONSTITUTION:A control part 4 converts the KANJI or phrases contained in the KANA-KANJI character strings into the blank parts and gives instructions to a blank control part 4b and a reading KANA write control part 4a to turn the KANJI or phrases requiring the reading KANA written on the blankparts into the blanks with a character retrieving signal 103. Then the part 4 sends a display signal 107 to a display part 5 to write the reading KANA on the blank parts. The part 5 receives the signal 107 from the part 4 and makes a sentence preparing person to turn the KANJI or phrases learnt in each due school year into blanks and to display the KANA-KANJI sentences containing KANA written at the upper part of the blank parts. Thus it is possible to turn only necessary KANJI or phrases into blanks and to effectively prepare the sentences containing KANA written at the upper part of the blank parts.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention converts a range of kanji or phrases that satisfy a certain condition into blank spaces when creating a sentence that includes blank spaces with furigana and kana-kanji. It has a function to write furigana at the top of the blank space, allowing the writer to create sentences efficiently and effectively without being aware of the range of kanji or compound words in the sentence. This article relates to a Japanese word processor with advanced functions.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in Japanese word processors, when creating a sentence containing kana and kanji that includes a blank space with furigana, it is necessary to convert a range of kanji or compound words that meet certain conditions into a blank space, and then write furigana above the blank space. In some cases, it has become common for a writer to create a blank space by searching for the relevant kanji or compound word after creating the text, and write furigana above the blank space. However, in this case,
The text creator refers to a list of kanji or phrases that meet the conditions, operates on the target kanji or phrase in the character string converted by the Kana-Kanji conversion dictionary to create a blank space, and then converts the blank space to the target kanji or phrase. It is necessary to write furigana on the top of the screen.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

With conventional Japanese word processors, when a document creator creates a sentence by converting a range of kanji or compound words that meet a certain condition into blank spaces with furigana, the document creator himself or herself converts the kanji or compound words that meet the condition into blank spaces. It is troublesome to recognize and convert blank spaces with furigana, and this has the disadvantage of reducing writing efficiency.

[Means to solve the problem]

The Japanese word processor of the present invention includes a dictionary for kana-kanji conversion, means for storing a character set table specified from a plurality of character set tables that are a collection of kanji or compound words satisfying a certain condition, and a means for searching the dictionary. The method includes means for converting an input kana character string into a character string containing kana and kanji, converting kanji or compound words included in the specified character set table into a blank space, and means for displaying furigana above the blank space. It is characterized by

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The Japanese word processor shown in the figure consists of an input section 1 having keys for inputting kana character strings and operation instructions by a document creator, a dictionary section 2 in which dictionaries are registered, and a dictionary section 2 for document creation. Various character sets are registered for converting kanji or compound words that have been converted into kana-kanji by the dictionary section 2 into a blank space and searching for whether a furigana is required above the blank space, which is selected based on instructions from the user. Character set table part 3,
Consists of a control section 4 that searches for data input from the input section 1 and the availability of kanji or phrases converted into kana-kanji by the dictionary section 2, and a display section 5 that displays the contents of the selected dictionary and character strings containing kana-kanji. be done.

Here, an example will be explained in which this Japanese word processor is used to create kanji dictation tests or practice questions for school students.

In schools, especially elementary schools, the number of kanji or idioms that students have mastered varies significantly depending on the grade, so the question creator created 5 questions taking into consideration the amount of kanji or idioms that students have learned in the grade for which the passage is intended. There is a need to.

The input unit 1 has a function key 1a in addition to normal alphabetic/kana keys, and when selecting the grade for which the created sentence is to be written, the function key 1a is pressed to select.

In the dictionary section 2, a kana-kanji conversion dictionary is registered.

The character set table section 3 has registered all the character codes of kanji or compound words that are required to be learned by each grade by that grade, and receives the function signal 102 sent from the input section 1 and inputs one character. The character set of the grade selected by the user is stored in the character set table section 3 among the character set groups classified by various grades in the set table section 3.

The control unit 4 receives input data 101, which is a kana character string, sent from the input unit 1, and sends a dictionary search signal 105 to the dictionary unit 2, and also sends a display signal 107 to the display unit 5. Send. Further, the control unit 4 receives dictionary search data 106 from the dictionary unit 2 corresponding to the dictionary search signal 105.
is taken from the dictionary section 2 and converted into a character string containing kana and kanji.

Next, the control unit 4 converts the kanji or compound word in the character string containing kana-kanji into a blank space, and searches for characters in the character string containing kana-kanji in order to inquire whether it is necessary to add furigana to the top of the blank space. A signal 103 is sent to the character set table section 3.

Further, the control section 4 receives character search data 104 from the character set table section 3 corresponding to the character search signal 103, indicating whether a blank space and a furigana are required above the blank section. Here, the control section 4 instructs the blank control section 4b and the furigana control section 4a to blank out the kanji or compound word that requires furigana in the blank and above the blank section using the character search signal 103 in the sentence containing kana and kanji. , a display signal 107 is sent to the display unit 5 so as to display furigana above the blank area. The display unit 5 receives the display signal 107 from the control unit 4, and displays a sentence containing kana and kanji, with the kanji or compound words learned in that grade left blank, and furigana written above the blank area, to the author of the sentence. do.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention requires that when creating a sentence containing kana and kanji in a Japanese word processor, it is necessary to leave a range of kanji or compound words that satisfy a certain condition blank and write furigana above the blank. In this case, from the string containing Kana-Kanji characters converted by the Kana-Kanji dictionary,
By having a function that automatically blanks out the kanji or compound words that meet the conditions and adds furigana to the top of the blank area, the writer can blank out only the necessary kanji or compound words and fill in the blanks. The effect is that sentences with furigana added to the top part can be efficiently created without being conscious of the distinction between kanji or idioms.
