Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a document creation device, more specifically, a KWI C (
The present invention relates to a document creation device in the Key Word In Context format.

Currently, dedicated word processors or word processing software on computers are quite popular, and are being used not only for creating fixed and non-standard documents needed in general offices, but also for personal writing.

As it became more popular, errors and inappropriate expressions that did not occur often in traditional handwriting began to appear. As if in response to this, word processors or computer support software with support functions that help correct mistakes and inappropriate expressions in Japanese-related texts are now on the market. Additionally, software on general-purpose computers and systems for companies that specialize in calibration are beginning to become popular.

In addition, similar software for foreign languages (mainly English) has been on the market for quite some time, but all of these software scan and analyze character strings in sentences that have been created in some way, and convert them into predefined sentences. The system is designed to point out parts that deviate from the rules, incorrect terminology, etc., or provide useful information for revising the text.

The KWIC format display has been known for a long time and has been used in language processing research. It has been reported that this KWIC format display is quite useful for revision or proofreading. However, in the conventional system, it is only a display, and when you want to change the expression by revising or proofreading the content, you cannot change it while it is in the KWIC display, so you have to switch the 1 display to the normal text format and edit again there. I had to. To do so, it was necessary to memorize the details of each change or take notes, which was extremely inconvenient.

In addition, the present invention has been made in part in view of the above-mentioned circumstances.
In particular, it was designed to enable on-the-spot editing while still in KWIC format, and to actively use KWIC format display for revision or proofreading.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned objects, the present invention provides (1) a device for creating sentences such as Japanese or English;
It is characterized by having a function of displaying in C format and an editing function on this KWIC format display, and furthermore, (2) as the above editing function, keywords on the KWIC display are used as units. It is characterized by being able to be copied, replaced, moved, etc. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on examples.

26 is KWIC display data, 26 is document data, 27 is a control information storage section, and 28 is a control information section, which has a configuration similar to that of general office automation equipment such as a personal computer or a word processor. At the center is a control section 5 that controls the entire system, and is realized by a general-purpose microcomputer 1 or a dedicated LSI. In addition, there are peripheral devices that handle input/output and storage, such as displays, keyboards, floppy disks, and printers. Further, there is a section under the control section 5 that controls document input, editing, storage, and printing, and these are realized by firmware, a dedicated LSI, and the like.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, there is an elaboration/proofreading support section 10 under the word processor control section 7 as means for realizing the elaboration support function. The revision proofreading support section 10 includes a conventional revision proofreading support analysis determination section 13 and a KW of the present invention under the revision proofreading support control section 12.
It is composed of an IC support section 20 and a control information storage section 27. The revision/proofreading support analysis/judgment unit 13 includes a morphological analysis unit (141) that checks the correctness of the word structure and grammar in a sentence under the control of the revision/proofreading support control unit (12); 16. Judgment search unit 1 that corrects incorrect words to correct words and handles judgment information for judgment.
I have 8. The KWIC support section 20 includes a KWIC control section 21, a KWIC editing section 23, and a KWIC display data creation section 29. The KWIC control unit 21
While referring to the data in the setting information management table 22 that records system or user specifications for the WIC display format,
Controls creation, display, and editing of WIC display data 25.

The KWIC display data creation section 24 creates KWIC display data 25 based on the document data 26 on the word processor under instructions from the KWIC control section 21 .

The KWIC editorial department 23 is instructed by the KWIC control section 21 to
Editing of the IC display data 25 is executed. Further, the control information storage unit 27 handles operator operation history and control information 28 regarding the entire revision and proofreading support.

In addition, input information from the keyboard mentioned above and kana-kanji conversion for Japanese input are handled by the input control unit, and conventional editing, storage, printing, etc. are handled by the word processor control unit.
This is done under the output control section.

In the above description, the KWIC support section is shown as part of the revision/proofreading support section, but the KWIC support section may be provided alone or independently under the word processor control section.

Figure 2 is a diagram explaining the form of KWIC display. Figure 2 (a) is an example of normal text display on a word processor, and the corresponding KWIC is like the example in Figure 2 (b). It will be displayed in a display format with the specified keyword in the center and context on the left and right sides.

Figure 3 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the operating procedure for the KWIC display support function.
The IC display support function can be called. The operator must first decide in what format the KWIC will be displayed.
Specify the display format by selecting it from the menu. The system scans the text on the word processor according to the instructions, converts it, and displays it in KWIC format. The operator looks at the display, refines it, and makes K on the spot to make the sentence more appropriate.
Proofread using the editing function on the WIC display.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining an example of a menu for specifying the KWIC display format. In this example, a selection menu corresponding to a numeric keypad is provided at the bottom right of the screen. By pressing the number keys (0 to 9), you can specify the item. Figure 4 (a
) is an example of a specification menu in the form of a keyword character string. Also.

FIG. 4(b) is an example of the character type designation menu when the form is specified as "character type" in FIG. 4(,). Figure 4(C) is an example of a menu for specifying the order type and direction of the sort format.
, J are also used for designation.

Figure 5 shows an example of how the KWIC is displayed when editing.
, ), "Katakana" in Figure 4(b), and "Order of writing" in Figure 4(c) are specified, and the katakana character string of the sentence in Figure 2 is displayed in the keyword column. There is. here,
Use the cursor keys to position the cursor on the screen to the character string ``Party'' in the keyword column.
If you specify "copy", a mark (frame encirclement) will be added to the keyword "party". Position the cursor at any position in the keyword field and press the execution key (line feed key, etc.) to copy the keyword "party" to that position.

In Figure 5(b), after specifying "Copy", move the cursor to the position of "Party" in Figure 5(a), copy "Party", change the notation of "Party" to "Party", and write the are unified.

The above-mentioned mark is displayed in a frame, but the display method may be arbitrary such as division, underlining, etc., and there is no need for a mark.

The above explanation is an example of the editing function "Copy", but in addition to this, as shown in the selection menu in Figure 5, there are also "Move", "Search", "Replace", "Delete", "Cancel" and "Cancel" the previous operation.
"Repeat", etc. - It has a basic editing function.

Although not shown, when editing KWIC, moving and scrolling the cursor, and inserting and deleting characters can be performed in the same way as when editing a normal text screen of a word processor.

In the example shown in Figure 5, only keyword editing was explained, but in the KWICi collection, copying from the context part displayed on the left and right sides other than the keyword, copying to the context part, search including the context part, etc. are restricted. isn't it.

In the example shown in Figure 5, in the specified menu, [G collection range] is ",:
This is possible by specifying ``All''.

Furthermore, when specifying ",:keyword" in [edit range], the keyword character string can be copied or moved as a unit, and the operation range is limited so that keyword editing can be performed easily.

FIGS. 6(a) and (b) respectively show the flow of the internal operation of the KWIC support unit. In the example shown in FIG. 6(a), the operator first starts the KWIC display support, and then , the operator selects and specifies the display format from the menu, and sets the operator specified information in the ``setting information management table'' of the ``rKWIc control unit''. Next, refer to the “setting information management table” and set the rKWIC control unit.
Request the "Display Execution Department" to execute the KWIC display, and
The "C display data creation section" processes the "document data" into a format instructed by the "rKWIC control section" to create display data in the KWIC format. After that, the rKWIC control section
Send the C display data to the "word processor control section" and
The word processor control section receives display data from the KWIC control section and sends it to the output control section. In addition, in the example shown in Fig. 6(b), when the operator starts any of the KWIC display editing functions using the function keys, the rKWIC control section will prompt the operator while referring to the setting information management table j. 8) and request the rKWIC Editorial Department to execute the selected editing function.

The rKWIc editing section operates the rKWIC display data under the instructions of the rKWIC control section, changes its contents, and sends the results to the rKWIC control section.
The "WIC control section" sends KWIC display data to the "word processor control section", and the "word processor control section" receives display data from the "rKWIc control section" and sends it to the "output control section".

FIG. 7 shows an example of the "setting information management table" explained in FIG.
ONJ rOFFJ indicates whether the item is set (ON is specified).

The "Remarks" column also shows the initial settings of the system. However, the explanation of the storage method is omitted.

Of course, as is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, KW
It can be easily edited while still in IC format, and there is no need to memorize the details of revisions or proofreading and correct them later, making it easier to create better texts. Also,
The keyword part, which is a feature of the KWIC format, can be easily changed (m copying, substitution, etc.) with fewer key operations, which can further improve the efficiency of text correction.
