Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily convert even KANJI(Chinese character) whose rendering is unknown into desired KANJI by inputting the number of strokes and converting it into KANJI. CONSTITUTION:A number input data key 1 is used as a key for inputting the number of strokes of KANJI and a stroke number/KANJI conversion control part 6 is a circuit which converts the number of strokes into KANJI. In this case, number data on the number of strokes is sent to the stroke number/KANJI conversion control part 8, where KANJI corresponding to the number of strokes is read out of a stroke number/KANJI conversion dictionary 9 according to the number data. The stroke number/KANJI conversion dictionary 9 is a memory stored with the numbers of strokes and corresponding KANJI characters are stored, and corresponding KANJI can be read out by indicating the number of strokes. Consequently, even when the rendering of KANJI is not known, the number of strokes can easily be converted into KANJI.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a kanji conversion device that converts input information into kanji.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, Japanese word processors generally use a kana-kanji conversion method. In this method, kana is input and converted into kanji, and a desired one is selected from the converted kanji.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with this type of kana-kanji conversion method, if you do not know how to read a kanji, especially if you do not know how to read a difficult kanji that is not commonly used, the kana-kanji conversion method may not be able to perform the kana-to-kanji conversion method. In such cases, the user would look up the pronunciation in a dictionary, or enter a kana with a similar pronunciation to try to convert it to kanji, and repeat this operation many times until the desired kanji is displayed on the screen. However, either method requires a lot of time and has the problem of lowering the efficiency of kanji conversion.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and its purpose is to provide a kanji conversion device that can easily convert kanji into kanji even if the reading is unknown.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a means for inputting the number of strokes of a kanji character, and a means for reading a kanji character with the number of strokes inputted by this means from a storage means and converting the number of strokes into a kanji character. , means for displaying the Kanji candidate characters converted by this means, and means for selecting a designated Kanji character from the Kanji candidate characters.

[Operation] In the present invention, the number of strokes inputted by the input means is sent to the Kanji conversion means, where the Kanji character with the number of strokes is read out from the storage means. As a result, the number of strokes is converted into a Kanji character, and the converted Kanji candidate character is displayed on the display means. Then, when one of the Kanji candidate characters is designated, the designated character is selected by the selection means. Therefore, since the number of strokes is converted into Kanji, it is possible to easily convert the number of strokes into Kanji even if you do not know how to read Kanji.

[Examples] Examples of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the kanji conversion device of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the numeric input data key 1 is a key for inputting numeric data, and is used not only for inputting numbers but also for inputting the number of strokes of Chinese characters. The number of strokes/kanji conversion instruction key 2 is a key for instructing to convert the input number of strokes into kanji, as will be described later. These numeric input data keys 11 and stroke number/kanji conversion instruction keys 2 are arranged at predetermined positions on the keyboard 3.

The input control section 4 is a control circuit that converts a signal input by the numeric input data key 1 into numeric data and outputs it to the input field control section 5 and the number of strokes/kanji conversion control section 6. The human field control unit 5 includes a memory that stores input numerical data. The number of strokes/kanji conversion control unit 6 is a circuit that converts the number of strokes into kanji. In this case, the numerical data of the number of strokes is sent to the number of strokes/kanji conversion control section 8,
Here, the kanji corresponding to the number of strokes is read from the number of strokes/kanji conversion dictionary 9 based on the numerical data. The stroke number/kanji conversion dictionary 9 is a memory that stores each number of strokes and the corresponding kanji, and by specifying the number of strokes, the corresponding kanji can be read out. The Japanese display device 7 is a display device that displays candidate kanji characters converted to kanji characters.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be explained in detail.

First, when the operator presses the numeric input data key 1 of the keyboard 3, a press signal of the numeric input data key 3 is input to the human control unit 4.

The input control section 4 converts the press signal of the numeric input data key 1 into numeric data for use in stroke number/kanji conversion, and outputs it to the input field control section 5. The input field control unit 5 stores the numerical data in an internal memory.

Next, when the operator presses the number of strokes/kanji conversion instruction key 2 to convert the number of strokes input earlier into a kanji character, a kanji conversion instruction signal is manually inputted to the input control section 4. Upon receiving this signal, the input control section 4 instructs the stroke count/kanji conversion control section 6 to start stroke count/kanji conversion. Number of strokes/kanji conversion control unit 6
In response to this instruction, the numeric data stored in the input field control section 5 is received as the total number of strokes of the kanji. Also,
This number of strokes is sent to the number of strokes/kanji conversion dictionary control section 8, and all the kanji corresponding to the number of strokes are read out from the number of strokes/kanji conversion dictionary 9.

The kanji read here is sent to the Japanese display device 7 as a conversion candidate character and displayed. At this time, if there are too many conversion candidate characters to display on the screen all at once, the number of candidate characters to be displayed in -degrees may be determined in advance, and the displayed characters on the screen may be sequentially switched using the number of strokes/Kanji conversion instruction key 2. Further, if a desired kanji is found among the candidate characters displayed on the screen, the user instructs the desired kanji by operating a key on the keyboard 3. This designation signal is sent to the number of strokes/kanji conversion control section 6, and the designated target kanji is selected.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, since the number of strokes is manually converted into kanji, even difficult kanji that one does not know how to read can be easily converted into the desired kanji. can. Therefore, there is no need for the conventional method of looking up dictionaries or inputting appropriate kana and trying to convert it into kanji, and the effect is that the desired kanji can be converted with a simple operation.
