Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily call out the character strings with operation of a specific key and with the least operation of an input device and to realize the input of documents by using an input device having plural input keys bearing specific codes and a character string memory. CONSTITUTION:An input device 1 contains a means which designates the character strings within a specific range out of those character strings stored in a memory 4 and plural input keys having specific code. Then the device 1 designates a range of character strings which are repetitively used in a desired document stored in the memory 4 and sends the designated range to a character string memory 5. In this case, a specific input key is operated to add a code and to send to the memory 5. Thus a code corresponding to the code added to the memory 5 is transmitted from the device 1 when a stored character string is called out. Then a desired character string is sent to the memory 4 from the memory 5. In other words, the character strings can be easily called out with operation of a specific key and with the least operation of the device 1. These called out character strings can be inputted as a document.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing device used in Japanese word processors, personal computers, and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of document processing device has a dictionary called an abbreviation dictionary or a fixed form one-ka phrase dictionary, which is used to convert hiragana and symbol codes to character strings containing kana-kanji that have been converted to kana-kanji. It is stored as a dictionary to be searched when performing kana-kanji conversion. Therefore, when the operator performs a kana-kanji conversion operation, the stored character string can be retrieved and recalled by inputting the stored code.

In this way, by storing repeatedly used character strings as an abbreviation dictionary or a fixed phrase dictionary, it is possible to recall them simply by inputting a code.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in order to store the stored character strings as a search dictionary for Kana-Kanji conversion, the conventional document processing devices do not use codes that serve as indexes for searches, that is, ``Yomi'' in Hiragana or English. There is a problem in that it is necessary to add symbols using numbers, and it takes a long time to perform the conversion operation of kana-kanji conversion and call it up.

The present invention is intended to solve these conventional problems.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a document processing device that can store place names and personal names that are used repeatedly when writing a list or address in a separate storage device instead of in a dictionary to be searched for Kana-Kanji conversion. It is something that goes above and beyond.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a device for storing specified character strings in a document, an input device for assigning a code to the stored character strings, and a device for storing specified character strings in a document. It is equipped with an input device for calling the

Effects The present invention has the following effects due to the above configuration. That is, a range of character strings in a document to be used repeatedly is specified and stored in a character string storage device.

When storing, a code corresponding to the character string to be stored is assigned by an input device corresponding to the code in pair. To call up a desired character string from among the stored character strings, by inputting a code using an input device provided with a code, the desired character string can be uniquely called up and input into a document.

Embodiment FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an input device, which is connected to a kana-kanji conversion device 2, a storage device 4, and a character string storage device 5. Reference numeral 3 denotes a display device that displays the contents stored in the storage device 4. The input device 1 is a device that performs input instructions such as inputting a hiragana string of a character string to be input, designating a range of character strings stored in a storage device, and storing instructions.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. In the above embodiment, the range of character strings stored in the storage device 4 is specified using the input device 1. The specified range is sent to the character string storage device 5 and stored therein. At this time, input device 1
In order to give a code, a specific input key is operated, and the code is sent to the character string storage device 5 and stored therein. When calling a stored character string, the input device 1 sends a code corresponding to the assigned code to the string storage device 5, and the corresponding string is sent from the string storage device 5 to the storage device 4.

FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4 are examples showing display examples of character string storage in one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the range of the character string "Naka-ku" is specified on the display device 3. Here, by operating the displayed key 1141 of the input device 1, "Naka-ku" is stored in the character string storage device 5 with the code F4 added (see FIG. 4). FIG. 3 shows an example in which a target character string in a document is retrieved from the character string storage device to the display device 3, and the retrieval position is displayed with a cursor 31. At this time, press "F4" on input device 1.
When the displayed key is operated, the character string "Naka-ku" corresponding to the code F4 stored in the character string storage device 5 is called up and sent to the storage device 4 and the display device 3.

As described above, according to the above embodiment, when a target character string range is specified from an inputted document and a specific key of the input device 1 is operated, the character string is stored in the character string storage device 5. Therefore, by operating a specific key on the input device 1 without specifying a range, a desired character string can be called up from the character string storage device 5. It has the advantage that it can be called by operation.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention is designed to store repeatedly used character strings in correspondence with specific keys. It also has the advantage that it can be called up with a minimum number of input device operations.
