Abstract

PURPOSE:To constitute the device so that the same KANA (Japanese syllabary) and KANJI (Chinese character) mixed character-string as that which is inputted correctly can be obtained even if a KANA character-string is inputted erroneously by providing a means for converting an inputted first KANA-string to the corresponding second KANA-string. CONSTITUTION:The device is provided with a reread converting part 12 for setting a KANA character-string inputted by a character-string input part 11 for inputting reading of a KANA and KANJI mixed character-string whose input is desired as a first KANA character-string, and converting a first KANA character-string to a second KANA character-string, and a reread table 13 in which a first KANA character-string and a second KANA character-string are coordinated and stored. In such a way, even if a KANA character-string is inputted erroneously in the case of ambiguous reading, the same KANA and KANJI mixed character-string as a result of conversion in the case reading is inputted correctly is obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device installed in a Japanese language processing device such as a Japanese word processor.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, Kana-Kanji conversion input has been the mainstream method for inputting character strings containing Kana-Kanji characters installed in this type of Japanese language processing apparatus.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional kana-kanji conversion method, since the reading is input and converted into the corresponding string of characters mixed with kana-kanji, it is necessary to input the reading correctly. The problem is that it is not possible to cover ambiguity in Japanese, such as entering ``Kori'' or ``Kori'' for the Japanese word ``Kori'' or ``Haozue'' or ``Haozue'' for the pronunciation of ``Cheek Cane.'' there were.

The present invention solves these conventional problems,
To provide a kana-kanji conversion device capable of converting a hiragana character string into a character string mixed with kana-kanji that meets the operator's intention even if a hiragana character string is input by mistake when the reading is ambiguous.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the kana-kanji conversion device of the present invention provides a table in which a first hiragana character string and a second hiragana character string are associated with each other and a second hiragana character string. A means for converting the character string into a first hiragana character string is provided.

According to the present invention, even if a hiragana character string with an ambiguous reading is input by mistake, the same conversion result as the conversion result when the correct reading is input can be obtained.

Embodiment 1 The first embodiment is a diagram showing the configuration of a kana-kanji conversion device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 11 is a hiragana character string input section for inputting the pronunciation of the character string mixed with kana and kanji that you want to input, and 12 is an input section 1.
1 is a reading conversion unit that converts the hiragana character string input in step 1 into a first hiragana character string and converts the first hiragana character string into a second hiragana character string; 14 is a kana-kanji conversion unit that converts hiragana character strings into kana-kanji mixed character strings; 15 is a reading conversion table in which hiragana character strings and kana-kanji mixed character strings are stored in correspondence. A dictionary table 16 is a display section that displays the character string containing kana and kanji characters converted by the kana and kanji conversion section 14.

The processing in the apparatus with this configuration will be explained using an example in which the user wants to input "ice".

The correct reading of ``ice'' is ``koori.'' However, when assuming a character string based on pronunciation, even if ``kori'' is pronounced as ``ice'', it cannot be said that it is generally incorrect. The conventional kana-kanji conversion function performs the following processing. Assume that "kori" is input from the hiragana character string input section 11. The kana-kanji conversion unit 14 uses the dictionary table 15
``Retail, usury, axiom,'' in response to the reading of ``Kori.''
. . ” is stored, so the conversion result for the input of “kori” is “retail, usury, axiom, . . .” and is sent to the display unit 16 to be displayed. In this way, the conventional kana-kanji conversion function does not convert ``ice''.

In this embodiment, when "Kori" is input from the hiragana character string input section 11, the conventional kana-kanji conversion process as described above is performed, and the hiragana character string "Kori" is converted into a translation table in the reading conversion section 12. 13, and since "kori" and "koori" are stored in correspondence in the reading translation table, "kori" is read as "koori", as if it were written as "koori" from the hiragana character string input section 11. It is sent to the kana-kanji converter 14 as if it were input. Since the dictionary table 15 stores "Ice, Freeze,..." for the pronunciation of "Kori,""Ice,Freeze,..." is displayed on the display unit 16 as an output from the Kana-Kanji converter 14. Display in .

As a result of the above processing, the operator can
Enter ``Retail, Usury, Axiom, ... Ice, Freeze,''
...'' conversion result can be obtained.

In this way, according to the above embodiment, even if the operator incorrectly inputs "kori" for the correct reading "koori",
You can get the same conversion result as inputting "koori" without correcting the reading to "koori".

Effects of the Invention According to the overall features of the present invention, even if a hiragana character string input during kana-kanji conversion is inputted incorrectly, the same character string mixed with kana-kanji characters can be obtained as if the character string was input correctly.
