Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve work efficiency since the reading and the meaning of a word and the like are displayed in a display part by providing a large capacity storage storing a Japanese dictionary. CONSTITUTION:Characters inputted from a keyboard 4 are sequentially KANA (Japanese syllabary)-KANJI(Chinese character)-converted by a KANA-KANJI conversion program stored in a floopy 8, are transmitted to a display controller 6 and are displayed in CRT 3. When an operator adjusts a cursor to a starting point and depresses the Japanese dictionary key of the keyboard 4 for checking the reading and the meaning of the word, the cursor draws an underline for the word. When the enter key of the keyboard 4 is depressed next, the reading and the meaning for the designated word are displayed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] This invention relates to a document processing device that manually performs predetermined processing on documents. The apparatus is equipped with a central control processing unit for processing, a memory connected to the central control processing unit, a display unit for displaying data stored in a frame memory section of the memory, and a keyboard for inputting documents. A document processing device is equipped with a large-capacity storage device that includes a Japanese language dictionary, and when a kanji word, etc. whose pronunciation is unknown appears in a document, this large-capacity storage device is accessed and the pronunciation and meaning of the word, etc. is accessed. is configured to be displayed on the display section.

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a document processing device that manually processes documents, and in particular, a document processing device that stores general dictionaries (dictionaries equipped with pronunciation kanji/kana kanji conversion, word learning functions, etc.) and word meanings. The present invention relates to a document processing device equipped with a Japanese language dictionary.

[Prior Art] When creating a document using a document processing device such as a word processor, unreadable kanji or kanji whose meanings are unknown may appear. In such cases, methods are used, such as a method of dividing the word character by character and manually inputting the word as a whole, or a method of inputting a desired word as a whole by combining a plurality of words.

In this case, even if you can't read the words, you can read 111 words. For example, assume that the word "remote cause" appears. If you can't read this word, for example, enter the word "distant" and the word "cause" and delete "way" and "ori" from both of these words, and then " You can manually write the word ``distal cause''.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the need to know the pronunciation of 11 words, the need to know the meaning, etc. may arise.

In this case, the operator may have to stop document creation and leave his/her seat to consult a Japanese dictionary. For this reason, during that time, thinking was interrupted and work efficiency was reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a document processing device that can display the pronunciation and meaning of a word or the like to be checked on the screen during document processing. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the principle of the present invention. In the figure,
1 is a central control processing unit for document processing; 2 is a memory connected to the central control processing unit 1; 3 is a display unit that displays data stored in the frame memory section of the memory 2; 4 is a document The input keyboard 5 is a mass storage device containing a Japanese language dictionary, and the reference numeral 6 is a box for interconnecting these components.

[Effect] A mass storage device 5 storing a Japanese language dictionary is provided.

When a kanji word or the like whose reading is unknown appears in the document, the mass storage device 5 is accessed to display the reading of the word or the like and its meaning on the display section 3. This eliminates the need to get up from your seat to look up a Japanese dictionary, improving work efficiency.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. Components that are the same as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. In the figure, 6 is a display control device that controls the display of CRT 3 as a display unit, and 7 is a floppy disk controller (FDC) connected to a central processing unit (CPU).
, 8 are floppies controlled by the FDC 7.

A general dictionary containing commonly used words with corresponding readings and kanji and a learning function is stored on the floppy 8.
A Japanese dictionary is stored in the mass storage device 5, which allows the reading and meaning of a kanji to be confirmed from the hexadecimal JEF code of the kanji. The operation of the circuit configured in this way will be described below with reference to the screen transition diagram of FIG.

The operator inputs C from keyboard 4 through kana-kanji conversion.
Create sentences on RTB. In this case, the dictionary used is a general dictionary stored on the floppy disk 8. This document creation sequence is similar to the prior art.

That is, the characters inputted from the keyboard 4 are sequentially converted into Kana-Kanji by the Kana-Kanji conversion program stored in the floppy disk 8, and sent to the display control device 6. The display control device 6 displays the CRT3 through a character generator.
Displays the characters entered in . During this time, the control program is stored in the memory 2 and is stored in the central control processing unit 1.
controls the overall operation.

Here, in a sentence, for example, "The remote cause of a certain disaster is..."
In this case, it is assumed that the operator was unable to read the "remote cause". The operator displays the kanji on the CRT 3 using hexadecimal input or other readings. For example, “Tooi”
When the user manually presses the conversion key on the keyboard 4, "Far" is displayed (S2).

Next, when the cursor is moved back and "in" is entered manually from the keyboard 4, "far away" is displayed (S3). Here, when the conversion key is pressed, "extreme cause" is displayed (S4). Here, in order to check the pronunciation and meaning of "remote cause", the operator places the cursor on the starting point of "remote cause" (S5) and presses the Japanese language dictionary key on the keyboard 4 (S6). Then, when the end point is specified, the cursor draws an underline at "remote cause" (S7). Next, when you press the enter key on the keyboard 4, the screen will be split and the reading and meaning of the specified character string (711 words) will be displayed (
S8). Here, in the Japanese dictionary, "Engin: Indirect cause" is displayed in the lower half of the screen as shown in S8. As a result, the operator can know the pronunciation and meaning of the word.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a search process for a Japanese language dictionary. First, it is checked whether the meaning of the word is unknown or whether the kanji has been output by changing the reading power or not (Sl). If the meaning of the word is unknown, point to the search word by indicating the start and end points of the word (S2). Although the meaning of the word is not unknown,
Even if the word is output using hexadecimal input but the pronunciation of the word is unknown, the process returns to step S2.

Next, when the word range is specified, the Japanese language dictionary key is pressed (S3). This will enter dictionary search mode.

In the dictionary search mode, a search is performed in the Japanese dictionary (S
4゜Details will be described later). Aim for it! When the $1 word is found, the screen is displayed split as shown in Figure 3 (S5).
). Looking at this display screen, the operator checks the meaning and pronunciation of the word (S6), and then presses the reset key (S6).
7). This ends the Japanese language dictionary mode.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the sequence of Japanese language dictionary search. Most of the sequences shown in the figure are performed by the central control processing unit 1. First, screen buffer codes within the range defined by the start and end points of the ilt word are entered into the work area (both included in the memory 2) (Sl). Then, check whether the code is a hexadecimal JEF code (S2), and if it is a JEF code, count the number of characters and obtain the number of search characters (S3). here,
If all of the codes specified in step S2 are not JEF codes, error handling is performed (S4).

Once you know the number of characters, set the table pointer of the Japanese dictionary with the predetermined number of characters according to the number of search characters, and start the search (
S5). Since a word has 1 to N characters, it is necessary to point to the beginning of the area corresponding to each number of characters. Then, point to the beginning of the work area (S6) and start checking the first character in the work area and the first character in the Japanese dictionary area (S7).

If equal characters are detected, check whether all characters have been completed (S8); if not, point to the next character (S9), and return to step S7. When all characters have been compared, the information corresponding to the found characters is transferred to the CRT.
3 (SlO). If the same character does not exist in the Japanese dictionary, an error message "Not registered in the dictionary" is displayed (Sll).

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the format of the Japanese language dictionary. As is clear from the figure, hexadecimal code 1 for each number of letters in the word
The reading of one word (meaning) is stored. This dictionary is 16
They are stored in ascending order of decimal code, and the storage location is divided according to the number of characters to be referenced, in order to speed up dictionary searches.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above in detail, according to the present invention, by providing a large-capacity storage device that stores a Japanese language dictionary in addition to a normal general dictionary, it is possible to identify kanji words whose pronunciations and meanings are unknown. Even if a profanity appears, the first profanity and its meaning can be immediately displayed on the display, eliminating the need for the operator to get up from his seat to consult a Japanese dictionary, thereby improving work efficiency.
