Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the second call of the read data even after conversion of KANJI (Chinese character) and to improve the operability to write reading KANA (Japanese syllabary) to the same KANJI string emerging frequently in the same document by storing the read data undergone the conversion of KANJI into a read data storage means for each KANJI conversion process. CONSTITUTION:When the read data undergone the conversion of KANJI is stored in a read data memory 11 for each KANJI conversion process, a read store/call control part 12 is started under the control of a main control part 1 and with operations of a forward key 33, a forward plus key 34, and a reverse key 35 which form a call means 345 which calls the read data on a keyboard 3. Thus the read data is called out of the memory 11 and displayed on a display device 7. As a result, the read data can be read out again even after the conversion of KANJI. Thus it is possible to extremely improve the operability to write reading KANA to the same KANJI string emerging frequently in the same procedure.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a character processing device such as a Japanese word processor.

(Mouth) Conventional technology Character processing devices such as Japanese word processors input reading data such as hiragana, katakana, or romaji using input means such as a keyboard, and then instruct the conversion of the reading data into kanji. , it is possible to easily input kanji character strings. Once it has become possible to input kanji character strings easily, there is a need for improved operability.

For example, if the same kanji character string appears frequently in the document being created, the operator had to enter the same reading data each time and perform the kanji conversion process. If you memorize kanji character strings that you already know and call them up as appropriate, you won't need to input reading data.

Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd. Japanese word processor '5WP
The -340J can store 26 character strings in its memory, meeting these demands.

However, in order to use the decline memory function, it is necessary to memorize the character string you want to recall in advance, and in order to memorize a large number of character strings and recall them, Since it is necessary for the operator to memorize the corresponding indexes, further improvements in operability are desired.

On the other hand, for proper nouns such as people's names and place names, there are cases where it is necessary to add kana readings, that is, furigana, to the kanji string resulting from kanji conversion. In such a case, it is necessary to input reading data that yields the same kanji character string again.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, the technical problem of the present invention is to further improve the operability for the same kanji character strings and furikata names that frequently appear in the same document.

(iv) Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the problems described in item 2, the present invention provides human-powered means for manually inputting reading data, conversion instruction means for instructing kanji conversion for the inputted reading data, and kanji conversion. The present invention is characterized by comprising a reading data storage means for storing the read reading data in units of Kanji conversion processing, a call instruction means for calling the stored reading data, and a display means for displaying the called reading data.

(e) Function By storing the reading data converted into kanji as described above in the reading data storage means in units of kanji conversion processing, the reading data can be recalled again even after the kanji conversion.

(f) Examples Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

It is connected to the signal bus via. (9) is a text memory that holds the kanji data created as a result of kanji conversion, and the text storage control unit (10)
Connected to the signal bus via. (11) is the kanji conversion section (
6) In the reading data memory that stores reading data for each unit of kanji conversion processing, when the kanji data for the reading data is determined in the kanji conversion process, the reading data in the input holding unit (61) in the kanji conversion unit (6) is stored. is stored through the reading storage/recall control unit (12), and the confirmed kanji data is written from the output holding unit (62) to the text memory (9).

Next, the operation will be explained with reference to the transition of the display screen shown in FIG. 2 and the transition of the read data memory shown in FIG. 3.

First, use the letter keys (31) on the keyboard (3) to select the second
Input the reading data ``Osakafu'' as shown in Figure (a).

In the figure, (Ca) is a cursor, and the underline (un) is an identifier that informs the operator that the reading data is before kanji conversion.

In this state, when the conversion instruction key (32) is operated to obtain kanji data 1 "Osaka Prefecture", the kanji conversion section (6) inputs the input data to the conversion section (6) under the control of the main control section (1). Holding part (
61) Search and output the kanji data corresponding to the sequentially stored reading data 1 "Osakafu" from the dictionary section (5),
While holding the result in the output holding unit (62), the display (
7) to display the content as shown in FIG. 2(b). If the displayed content is the desired kanji data, the process moves to the next key manually to confirm the content. In other words, as shown in Figure 2 (C),
Enter "Osakashi". When the kanji data "Osakafu" is determined based on human power, its contents are stored in the text memory (9), and the reading data of "rOsakafu", which was the target of the kanji conversion process, is Data memo J (1
1) is written in the first area (111) (Fig. 3(a)
)).

On the other hand, each of the input holding unit (61) and output holding unit (62) of the kanji conversion unit (6>) holds the following ``Onakashi'' and ``Osaka City''. It can be cleared.When the kanji conversion process is started by manipulating the conversion instruction key (32) after J first data 1 Osakafu is input, the same process as above is executed and the second figure on the display (7) is displayed. (
d).

Next, enter "1 Kitaku". As a result, the kanji data for 'Osaka City' has been finalized, and its pronunciation date 'rOsakan' is stored in the reading data memory (
11) in the first area (111) (Fig. 3(b)
)). At this time, the read data stored in the previous conversion process is stored in the second area (112) for each conversion process unit.

Similarly, ``1 Kitaku'' is converted into kanji as ``Kita-ku'' (second
(Figure (r)) Once the kanji data is determined, it is stored in the first area (111) of the reading data memory (11), ``1 year old Sakafu'' is stored in the third area (113), and ``Osakashi'' is stored in the third area (113). They are each shifted to the second region (112). Finally, ``1 Nakanoshima'' is input (Figure 2 (g)
> After the kanji conversion process is finalized (FIG. 2(h)), the reading data memory (11) becomes as shown in FIG. 3(d).

In this way, when the reading data converted into kanji is stored in the reading data memory (11) for each kanji conversion processing unit, the forward direction key (345) of the keyboard <3) is used as a calling means (345) to call up the reading data. (33), forward direction plus key (34), and reverse direction key (35), the reading storage/recall control section (12) is activated under the control of the main control section (1), and the reading data memory The reading data is called from (11) and displayed on the display (7).
In this embodiment, reading data is called up using the reverse direction key (3
When the operation 5) is performed, the reading data of the first area (111) last entered into the reading data memory (11), that is, the reading data in the latest kanji conversion processing unit is called. Therefore, "Nakanoshima" is output to the display (7), and the corresponding "r Nakanoshima" is handled in the same way as the operation input of the character key (31), that is, as the reading data to be processed by the Kanji conversion unit (6). is stored in the input holding unit (61). As a result, when the Kanji conversion instruction key (32) is pressed down completely, Kanji conversion processing is performed on the reading data.

If the operator wants not the reading data of the latest kanji conversion processing unit but the reading data of the previous processing unit, each time the operator operates the reverse direction key (35), the reading data memory The call goes back in time. That is, from the first area (111), the second area (112), the third area (113), etc. can be called.

On the other hand, after the call ends up to the fourth area (114>),
When the forward direction key (33) is operated, in reverse order, from the past reading data to the latest reading data, each area of C1 (113), (112), (111) is called in this order.
That is, when the desired reading data called up by operating the backward direction key (35) goes too far due to an operation error, by operating this forward direction key (33), you can immediately return to the desired reading data. can.

As mentioned above, these called reading data are subject to kanji conversion processing, but they are also suitable for adding funogana as shown in FIG. In other words, the kanji character string "
After obtaining Nakanoshima, Kita Ward, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, we will explain how to add furigana to the character string. First, move the cursor (CA) to the place where furigana should be added, and then press the cursor (C
Change A) to the furigana size (Figure 4 (a)),
Next, operate the reverse direction key (35) four times to call up the reading data 1 "Osakashi" stored in the fourth area (114>) of the reading data memory (11) as shown in FIG. 4(b).
This read data 1" is held in the input holding section (61). In this state, if you operate the forward direction plus key (34), the previous reverse direction key (35) or forward direction key (3
Unlike the continuous operation in 3), the above input holding unit (
61) is not cleared, so both sides of the display are shown in Figure 4(c).
) The reading data of the two converted vehicle positions are displayed in a connected manner.

Further, when the forward direction plus key (34) is operated, the read data "Kitaku" in the second area is concatenated as shown in FIG. 4(d), and by the third operation of the forward direction plus key (34), all The read data will be called in a connected state as shown in FIG. 4(e). Therefore, in this state, by operating the non-conversion key (not shown) on the keyboard (3>) to confirm the non-conversion of the read data, furigana can be added.

In addition, in the above example, in order to simplify the explanation, an address consisting of only kanji data was explained, but when creating a normal sentence containing kanji and kana, the reading data used in the past can be used by pressing the reverse direction key <35). It is easy to understand that by calling it up and operating the kanji conversion instruction key (32), kanji data can be obtained without having to input the same reading data each time.

(G) Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above, the present invention allows the reading data to be called up again even after kanji conversion, which dramatically improves the operability for the same kanji character strings and furikana names that frequently appear in the same document. improves.
