Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of misinput at the time of specifying a part of speech of a registering word and to accurately and rapidly register the registering word by displaying the explanatory writing of the part of speech, the example of a sentence using the part of speech and the conjugation of the registering word on a screen. CONSTITUTION:A reading means 4 reads out the name of the part of speech to be the part of speech information to be registered in a dictionary from a part of speech information storing means 2 and an explanatory writing relating to the part of speech to be part of speech information and displays the read results on a display means 5. When an instruction means 3 selects one part of speech out of the part of speech information displayed by the means 5, a conjugation forming means 7 forms a conjugation from an inputted word in accordance with the selected part of speech and displays the formed conjugation on the means 5. At the time of inputting a dictionary registering instruction from the means 3 when the displayed conjugation is the one required by an operator, the selected part of speech information is added to the already inputted heading and word and registered in a registering word storing means 9. Thus, a part of speech in a term can be simply and accurately designated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a character processing device, and more specifically to a character processing device with a dictionary registration function that can register terms that are not converted by kana-kanji conversion as a unique dictionary.

(B) Prior Art Conventionally, some character processing devices of this type, specifically word processors, are configured so that when a term is registered in a dictionary, an operator can specify the part of speech of the term.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, although the above-mentioned conventional word processors can specify parts of speech, the operator has to memorize all the usages of many parts of speech accurately, making it difficult for the operator to know how to use the parts of speech. In each case, the part-of-speech explanation provided in the instruction manual was referred to. Therefore, the designation of parts of speech is
Because it is cumbersome, it is rarely used when registering terms in dictionaries.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and therefore provides a character processing device with a dictionary registration function that can easily and accurately specify the part of speech of a term when registering the term in a dictionary.

(d) Means for solving the R problem FIG. 1 is a block diagram clearly showing the basic configuration of the present invention. In the same figure, the present invention is a character processing device that can add a heading to a word inputted from an input means 1 and register it in a dictionary. a part-of-speech information storage means 2 storing part-of-speech explanatory information for explaining; a part-of-speech information reading instruction;

The human power means in this invention preferably comprises a keyboard, but a pointing device such as a tablet input device or a mouse may also be used. The instruction means can be configured by assigning character keys, numeric keys, execution keys, or function keys of the keyboard. The display means can be composed of a dot matrix type display device such as an LCD, an EL display, or a CRT. The part-of-speech information storage means can be constructed from a ROM within the character processing device. The registered word storage means can be constructed from a RAM within the character processing device. Furthermore, the reading means, the selection means, the conjugated form creation means, and the dictionary registration means can be constructed from a CPU within the character processing device.

(E) Effect According to the present invention, when a heading and a term for dictionary registration are inputted from the input means and a reading instruction is given from the instruction means, the reading means reads part-of-speech information from the part-of-speech information storage means as part-of-speech information that can be registered in the dictionary. The name of the part of speech and an explanatory text regarding the use of the part of speech as part of speech explanatory information are read out and displayed on the display means. Next, when one part of speech is selected from the part of speech information displayed by the instruction means, the conjugation form creation means:
A conjugation form of the input term is created according to the selected part of speech, and the created conjugation form is displayed on a display means. Next, when the displayed conjugation is the conjugation desired by the operator, when a dictionary registration instruction is input from the instruction means, the selected part of speech information is added to the already input headings and words and registered in the registered word storage means. be done.

(f) Examples The present invention will now be described in detail based on the examples shown in FIGS. 2 to 6. Note that this invention is not limited by this.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a Japanese word processor (hereinafter referred to as word processor) as an embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure, 20 is a word processor main body, which is mainly composed of a CPU 21, a ROM 22, a RAM 23, and an output control section 24, which are connected to a pass line 2.
5 and are interconnected by 5. The storage contents of the ROM 22 include a control program 22 for controlling the CPU 21.
0, a kana-kanji conversion dictionary 2211 and part-of-speech information 222, which are referred to when performing kana-kanji conversion. Part of speech information 222
is a list of parts of speech as part of speech information that can be registered in the dictionary,
It consists of part-of-speech explanation information to explain the content of the part-of-speech,
Furthermore, the part-of-speech explanation information consists of an explanatory sentence for the part-of-speech and an example sentence used, and is stored in correspondence with each part of speech. A work area is allocated to the RAM 23, and intermediate results during program execution are temporarily stored. The RAM 23 also stores registered words that are registered in the dictionary. These ROM and RA
M23 constitutes a main memory.

Further, a keyboard 26 is externally connected to the CPU 21, and a CRT 27 is externally connected to the output control section 24. The keyboard 26 includes a character input key-1 conversion key for manually entering a kana character string for kana-kanji conversion, a dictionary creation key for switching the input mode to dictionary creation mode, and a dictionary creation key for calling and displaying part-of-speech information in dictionary creation mode. It is provided with part-of-speech keys, numeric keys for selecting parts of speech in the dictionary creation mode, execution keys for executing various processes, function keys, etc. Also,
The CPU 21 includes a text data memory 28 consisting of a RAM.
is connected as an auxiliary storage device. This sentence data memory 28 stores sentences converted into kana-kanji.

Further, the CPU 21 controls kana-kanji conversion processing and dictionary registration processing. That is, in the kana-kanji conversion process, the kana-kanji corresponding to the kana character string inputted from the keyboard 26 is read from the kana-kanji conversion dictionary 221 and displayed. In addition, in the dictionary registration process that is a feature of this embodiment, when a part of speech key on the keyboard 26 is pressed,
A list of parts of speech and part of speech explanation information, which are part of speech information 222, are read out from the ROM 22 and displayed on the CRT 27. When a number key is pressed, one part of speech is selected from a list of parts of speech. Furthermore, the word inputted from the keyboard 26 is converted into a selected part of speech to create a conjugated form, and if the conjugated form is the desired one, the inputted word is associated with the selected part of speech and stored in the RAM 23. Make me remember.

The dictionary registration process of this embodiment will be explained below according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, when the dictionary creation key on the keyboard 26 is pressed (step 40), a dictionary creation window shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the screen of the CRT 27 (step 41). If you enter the heading and registered word here (steps 42 → 43), it will be determined whether the part of speech key has been pressed (step 4).
4) If YES, the part-of-speech selection window shown in FIG. 5 is switched to the dictionary creation window and displayed (step 45).

This part-of-speech selection window consists of a first window A and a second window B. Window A displays the conjugated form of the entered registered word, and window B has a numbered part-of-speech list at the top. is displayed, and at the bottom thereof, explanatory sentences and usage examples of the part of speech as part of speech information are displayed. Note that in the initial state, the part-of-speech selection window displays an explanatory sentence of the noun, which is the part-of-speech name with the first number "l", and an example sentence using the noun in the lower row. Next, when the operator specifies the number of the required part of speech while looking at the part of speech selection window (
Step 46) Displays the conjugated form of the registered word based on the part of speech of the specified number (Step 47)) Displays the conjugated form created in step 11 (Step 48), as well as the explanatory text of the part of speech of the specified number. The usage example is called up from the ROM 22 and displayed at the bottom of window B (step 4).
9). Note that the number is designated by pressing the number keys on the keyboard 26. Next, it is determined whether the execution key has been pressed (step 50), and if YES, the part of speech with the designated number is determined as input (step 51). Then, it is determined again whether there is a heading or registered word input (step 52). If YES, the heading,
Enter the registered word. However, if the heading and registered word have already been input in step 43, the heading and registered word are updated (step 53). Next, it is determined whether the execution key has been pressed or not (step 52), YE.
If S, the registered word is registered in the RAM 23 together with the part of speech determined in step 51 (step 53).

If NO in step 44, that is, the part of speech key is not pressed, the part of speech of the registered word is determined to be a noun, and the process moves to step 52. Note that FIG. 6 shows the display contents of window A and window B when part of speech number 15 is specified.

(g) Effects of the Invention According to this invention, when a term is registered as a desired part of speech in dictionary registration, an explanation of the part of speech, examples of usage of that part of speech, and conjugated forms of the registered word can be displayed on the screen. Therefore, the operator can quickly check the usage of parts of speech on the screen without referring to a separate instruction manual. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate input errors in specifying the part of speech of a registered word, and to register the registered word in the dictionary accurately and quickly.
