Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document creation device such as a word processor that creates a document using kana-kanji conversion, and particularly relates to a document creation device such as a word processor that creates a document using kana-kanji conversion. It concerns character correction.

[Conventional technology]

To input characters that are subject to kana-kanji conversion when creating a sentence containing kanji and kana in a document creation device such as a word processor, first input characters that are subject to kana-kanji conversion.

(alphanumeric key, etc.), set the character input mode to be input, and then input the appropriate characters.Generally, when creating documents, this character input mode switching occurs frequently, so it is necessary to switch the 5-character input mode. It's easy to forget or enter characters by mistake.If you enter characters for Kana-Kanji conversion in the wrong character input mode, the characters you've already input will not work even if you change the character input mode. No correction processing is performed and it becomes effective only for subsequent input characters. If you enter the wrong character input mode in this way, here is how to correct it.For example, 1.
As shown in Publication No. 00360, when inputting Japanese using kana characters, the hiragana or katakana character strings that have already been entered in the wrong mode can be changed to the character type using the hiragana/katakana conversion key. There is a method that allows only changes.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in such conventional methods.

This mode only changes the character type, such as converting the hiragana character string being input into a katakana character string, or the katakana character string into a hiragana character string, and can do other things that cannot be done by changing the 5 character types, such as "Hiragana" mode. There is no known method to correct characters entered in ``Romaji'' mode to characters entered in ``Romaji'' mode.

was substituted by another method. One method is to delete all the characters that have already been input, change the character input mode to the appropriate mode, and then input the characters again, but with the above method, the operator always inputs characters while keeping in mind the character input mode. This places a burden on the operator and hinders smooth document creation. As described above, the conventional method has a problem in that it lacks consideration for correction operations for characters being input, which cannot be done by changing the character type.

An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of such conventional methods, and to correct the characters being input into characters input according to other character input modes with a single operation, which cannot be done by changing the character type. The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly efficient document creation device.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides an input character correction key for instructing correction of a character being input from the input device, a conversion table for converting the character being input into another character by inputting the input character correction key, and the input character correction key. By inputting a key, contents for correcting the character being input displayed on the display device are displayed on the display device, and a process to be corrected is selected from the correction contents displayed on the display device by pressing a selection key on the input device. The present invention provides means for correcting the character being input displayed on the ancillary display section into a character according to the selected correction content.

[Effect]

Even if you enter a character in the wrong character input mode, you can use the input character correction key to correct the character you are inputting without deleting the character you have already entered, reducing the burden of character input operations. It can be reduced.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing procedure using the present document creation device, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the document creation device according to the present invention.

In Figure 2, 1 is a control device configured using a CPU that controls execution such as correction of input characters, 2 readings and alphanumeric characters to be converted into ephemeral kanji, or control instructions. 3 is a random access memory that stores created documents, programs such as Japanese input 1g collection 2 display control, control axis, etc., 4 is an input device for inputting kana characters, etc. A conversion control unit for correcting alphanumeric characters into characters input in other character modes; 5 is a storage device for storing created documents, programs, data, conversion tables, etc.; 6 is for converting alphabetic characters spelled in Roman letters. 7 is a display device that visually displays input characters and editing status; and 8 is a printing device that prints the created document.

FIG. 3 shows the key arrangement of a keyboard, which is an example of the input device 2 shown in FIG. 2 for inputting characters or issuing control instructions.

201 is an "alphanumeric/kana character" key for inputting characters to be converted into kanji/kana mixed sentences, and is a JIS-compliant kana keyboard. 202 is an "input character correction" instruction key 203 that instructs to correct characters input in the wrong character input mode to characters input in another character input mode;
are a group of "selection" keys for selecting the processing contents of the input character mode to be corrected.

Next, the details of the processing will be explained below based on the flowchart shown in FIG. The control process shown in FIG. 1 is started by inputting the "input character correction" key 202 of the input device 3. Also, the characters being input are stored in the random access memory 3 in Figure 5.
01 (hereinafter referred to as the input character storage buffer), the character is read out from the input character storage buffer and displayed on the display device 7 as shown in FIG. 4, for example, 906. Ru.

First, when the [input character correction] key 202 is input,
Check whether there is a character currently being input (100).

The checking method refers to, for example, an input character management pointer (hereinafter referred to as Pa) in the random access memory 3 that indicates the position where the input character is stored in the input character storage buffer.

If there is no character to be corrected (when Pa=O), it means that the correction process cannot be executed, and as an abnormality process (ill), for example, an abnormal sound is output, and the control process ends.

If there is at least one input character to be corrected (
Pa≧1), content for selecting and instructing in which mode the characters that have already been input should be corrected to the input characters is displayed on the display device 7, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, 90 (101).
, accepts the key input from the input device 2 (102).

Determine the key information input from the input device 2 (103)
, if it is a control key other than the selection key group 203, this control process ends. The input key information is the selection key group 203
If so, the instruction to correct the characters being input is shown in Figure 4, 90.
Determine whether the key corresponds to "Hiragana" 903 or "Katakana" 904 in the matrix shown in 10.
4) If the information in the selection key group 203 is other than the corresponding key, the process moves to step (10) described later.

If the information in the selection key group 203 is the corresponding key, if the character being input is a ``hiragana'' character, it is corrected to a ``katakana'' character, and if it is a ``katakana'' character, it is corrected to a ``hiragana'' character. Also, you may have mistakenly entered the text in alphanumeric mode instead of the hiragana or katakana mode.
Correct alphanumeric characters to hiragana or katakana characters (30).

Here, the operation of the hiragana/katakana correction process (30) will be explained in detail using the flowchart of FIG.

First, in the initial value set process (701), a pointer (hereinafter referred to as pb) that manages the retrieval/storage position of converted characters in the random access memory 3 and a table showing correspondence between kana and alphanumeric characters as shown in FIG. (hereinafter referred to as a kana-alphanumeric conversion table) search pointer (hereinafter referred to as Pc) is set to "1". Further, the characters stored in the input character storage buffer are converted, and a buffer (hereinafter referred to as a converted character storage buffer) for storing the converted characters shown in FIG. 5 502 is cleared to NULL, for example.

Next, the character input mode at the time of character input shown at 905 in FIG. 4 is checked (702), and if the input is in the "r alphanumeric" mode, the process moves to step 704.

In the check process, characters input in a character input mode other than the "alphanumeric" mode are stored in the input character storage buffer in the character type change process (703). ” is the hiragana character “
If you enter the katakana character ``computer graphic'' by inputting the ``katakana'' 904-compatible key, or the katakana character ``kareha gatsu koheitsuta'', input the ``hiragana'' 903-compatible key ``He went to Katsukou''. After correcting the characters to hiragana and completing this process, the corrected characters are displayed again on the display device 7 (110) and the process ends.

The character type can be changed, for example, by replacing the ward codes defined in JISC6226 (hiragana = 4 wards, katakana: 5 wards).

In addition, if the alphanumeric string is entered in "alphanumeric" mode instead of "hiragana" or "katakana" mode, the character at the position indicated by pb in the input character storage buffer and the kana-alphanumeric string P in alphanumeric table of conversion table
It is determined whether the characters indicated by c are the same (704).

As a result of the determination, if the characters are different, Pc is increased by "1" (711), and it is determined whether the search of the kana-alphanumeric table is completed (712). If the search is not completed, the process moves to process 704, and if the search is completed, the character at the position indicated by pb in the input character storage buffer is stored in the position indicated by pb in the converted character storage buffer (713).The process moves to process 709.

As a result of the above judgment, if the characters are the same, select key group 203
is "Hiragana" 903 compatible key, or "Katakana" 9
04 compatible key is determined (705). As a result of the determination, if the key is compatible with "Hiragana" 903, the character at the position indicated by Pc in the hiragana table 802 is stored in the position indicated by pb in the converted character storage buffer 706), and if the key is compatible with "Katakana" 904, Katakana table 803
The character at the position indicated by Pc is stored at the position indicated by Pb in the converted character storage buffer (707).

Next, set the initial value "1" to Pc708), pb
is increased by "1" (709). Have all characters in the input character storage buffer been converted? (Pa≦P
If b) is determined 710) and the conversion process is completed,
Output the characters in the converted character storage buffer to the input character storage buffer (714) After completing this process, display the corrected characters on the display device 7 again (110), and end this control process.

If the conversion process has not been completed, the process moves to step 704 and continues the conversion process for the primary character.

Through this process, characters that should be entered in "Katakana" are entered in "Hiragana", and conversely, characters that should be entered in "Hiragana" are entered in "Katakana". For example, if the character should have entered "Amerika" in the "Hiragana" mode, but instead inputted it in the "Alphanumeric" mode by mistake, the input character would be displayed on the display device 7 as r3/LtJ. r3/lt that you have already entered as above.
You can easily correct the character ``Amerika'' in the ``Hiragana'' mode that you originally tried to input.

Now, if the selection key group 203 is other than "Hiragana J903 compatible key""Katakana" 904 compatible key, the characters being input are converted into an alphanumeric string by the alphabetic character string conversion process (10). Here, the operation of the alphabet string conversion process (10) will be explained in detail using the flowchart of FIG.

First, in the initial value setting process (601), Pb and Pc are set to "1".
Set. Also, set rOJ in RC and clear the converted character storage buffer to NULL.

Next, the character type is determined for the character indicated by pb in the input character storage buffer (602), and in the case of hiragana,
Kana-alphanumeric conversion table hiragana table 802 P
Set the character at the position indicated by c in the character work area 503 in the random access memory 3 (604), in the case of katakana.

Kana-Alphanumeric Conversion Table Katakana Table 803 P
The character at the position indicated by c is set in the character work area 503 (605). If the character type is other than hiragana or katakana, the character at the position indicated by pb in the input character storage buffer is set to the position indicated by pb in the converted character storage buffer (603), and the process moves to step 609.

If the character at the position indicated by pb in the input character storage buffer is Hiragana or Katakana, the character work area 503
(60
6).

As a result of the determination, if the characters are different, Pc is increased by "1" (611), it is determined whether the search for the kana-alphanumeric conversion table has been completed (612), and the process 602 is performed if the table search has not been completed. Move. As a result of the determination, if there is no matching character in the kana-alphanumeric conversion table, "1" is set in RC as information indicating abnormal termination. G13) The process ends.

If the character indicated by pb in the input character storage buffer is the same as the character stored in the character work area 503, the alphanumeric character at the position indicated by P'c in the alphabetic character table 801 of the kana-alphanumeric conversion table is converted. Set it at the position indicated by pb in the character storage buffer (607), set the initial value "1" to Pc (608), and then increase Pb by "1" (609)
.

It is determined whether all characters in the input character storage buffer have been converted (Pa≦pb) (610), and when the conversion process is completed, this process is terminated and the process described below (1) is performed.
06), and if the conversion process has not finished, proceed to process 60
Step 2 continues the conversion process for the next character.

By executing this process, for example, if you mistakenly enter "Hanjoto Motobase (1)" in "Romaji Hiragana" mode when you should have entered it in "Hiragana" mode, you can use Zufa to store input characters. stores the characters ``Kuramimi to ninnanami ni karakarashinano yunuyo''. The characters in the input character storage buffer are transferred to the conversion character storage buffer.
(1)" can be converted and stored into an alphanumeric string.

Next, the end result (RC) of the alphabet string conversion process (10)
is checked (106), and in the case of RC-4 (abnormal termination), abnormality processing (113) is performed, an abnormal sound is output as described above, and the variable control processing is ended.

If RC=O (normal completion), the above-mentioned rhonns iyo stored in the conversion character storage buffer, for example,
unimotoduki (1,) J is passed to the romaji conversion process (20), and the alphanumeric string is converted to hiragana characters spelled in romaji [hansyo motoduki (1)],
Store it again in the converted character storage buffer.

Next, determine the key information of the selection key group 203 (107)
, if the instruction to correct the character being input is a key corresponding to "Romaji Hiragana" 901 in the matrix shown in FIG. 902 compatible key, replace the hiragana characters in the conversion character storage buffer and change them to katakana characters (
108), output to input character storage buffer 109),
The contents of the input character storage buffer are redisplayed on the display device 7 (110) and the present control process is ended.

With this control process, even if characters that should be entered in "Romaji Hiragana" mode or "Romaji Katakana" mode are entered by mistake in "Alphanumeric" mode, the input alphanumeric characters will be changed to "Hiragana" or " Katakana characters can be easily corrected.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, characters input by mistake in the character input mode can be corrected by a simple input character correction operation to the characters input in the original character input mode, without deleting the already input characters and retrying manually. .
