JPH03198146A - Switch system for japanese word conversion processing - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the effective switch among plural KANJI (Chinese character) conversion processing systems without exclusively occupying the capacity of a main storage by providing a means which loads a processing program of a Japanese conversion system designated by an auxiliary storage means into the main storage. CONSTITUTION:The processing programs 4 - 6 of different Japanese word conver sion processing systems are stored in an external auxiliary storage means 3. Then the designated one of programs 4 - 6 is loaded each time into a main storage 1. Thus only one Japanese word conversion processing program 2 is always decided in the storage 1. Therefore the storage 1 is never occupied despite the increase of the number of types of Japanese word conversion processing systems. Thus other application programs can use the storage 1 without any trouble.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a Japanese conversion processing switching method for switching conversion processing for converting information input in katakana, kana, etc. into kanji.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when converting information input in kana, for example, into kanji, there are various methods, such as converting into kanji word by word, or converting a single sentence into kanji. and,
When a plurality of such conversion methods are used together, it has been common to load all the conversion processing methods onto the main memory.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in such conventional methods, all the kanji conversion processing methods are loaded into the main memory and used by switching, so when the number of kanji conversion processing methods increases, the main Memory capacity is taken up.

As a result, there were problems such as (1) the capacity of the main memory that can be used by application programs is small; (8) and so on.

The present invention was made to solve these problems, and its purpose is to provide a Japanese conversion processing switching method that effectively switches between multiple kanji conversion processing methods without occupying the main memory capacity. Our goal is to provide the following.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes an auxiliary storage means storing processing programs for a plurality of different Japanese language conversion methods, and a method for specifying the Japanese language conversion method from input information. and means for loading a processing program for the designated Japanese language conversion method from the auxiliary storage means onto the main memory based on the Japanese language conversion method designation information determined by the means. It is characterized by having the following.

[Operation] In the present invention, processing programs for a plurality of different Japanese language conversion processing methods are stored in the auxiliary storage means, and a processing program for a designated Japanese language conversion processing method from among them is loaded onto the main memory each time. Therefore, since the Japanese conversion processing program can always be kept in the main memory, even if the number of Japanese conversion methods increases, the main memory will not be monopolized, and other application programs can also run in the main memory without any problem. It becomes possible to use.

[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 Japanese language conversion processing switching method of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a main memory in which a Japanese language conversion program 2 for controlling the Japanese language conversion operation of the apparatus is stored. Reference numeral 3 denotes an external auxiliary storage device, in which a plurality of kanji conversion processing methods 4 to 6, such as the above-mentioned word-based kanji conversion processing method and single-sentence kanji conversion processing method, are stored as conversion processing programs.

Further, 7 is a display for displaying input characters, converted characters, etc., and 8 is a keyboard for inputting input literature such as kana, or various commands.In the present invention, as will be described in detail later, the kanji conversion selected by the keyboard 8. The Japanese conversion program 2 loads the processing method from the external auxiliary storage device 3 onto the main memory 1. For example, character information input in kana is converted into kanji using the selected conversion processing method and displayed on the display 7.

FIG. 2 shows the main structure of the Japanese language conversion processing switching system of the present invention.

The non-resident part 9 uses the plurality of Japanese conversion processing methods 4 to 4 described above.
This is used to load the specified Japanese conversion processing method among 6, and the Japanese conversion processing is executed using the method loaded here. The resident unit 10 controls switching of the Japanese conversion processing method to be loaded into the non-resident unit 9, and the character input processing unit 1
1, a conversion result display section 12, and a conversion processing switching control section 13.

The character input processing unit 11 is an input processing unit that determines whether a character input using the keyboard 8 is a conversion processing switching character instructing the Japanese conversion processing method or a character to be passed to the Japanese conversion processing method. Further, the conversion result display unit 12 is a display control unit that instructs the display 7 to display the converted result.

Further, the conversion processing switching control section 13 is a switching control section that loads the instructed Japanese conversion processing method into the non-resident section 9 when a conversion processing switching request is received. In this case, a plurality of Japanese conversion processing methods can be supported by determining the interface between the character input processing section 11 and the conversion result display section. Furthermore, even if a new Japanese conversion processing method is used, it can be used as long as it has the same interface.

Next, regarding the specific switching operation of the 1 Japanese conversion processing power formula,
This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In S (step) l, input is made from the keyboard 8, and the information input here is determined in S2. That is, in S2, the character input processing unit 11 performs a 0 determination to determine whether the input information is a conversion processing switching character instructing the Japanese conversion processing method or other character information to be converted.
If the input information is not a conversion processing switching character, it is passed to the Japanese conversion processing method currently loaded in the non-resident section 9 in S3, and the input character is converted into Kanji by that processing method.

On the other hand, if the input information is a conversion processing switching character, S
The Japanese conversion processing method specified by this switching character in step 4 is
As a result of 0 judgment to judge whether it is the same as the one currently loaded in the non-resident part 9, if both are different, S5
Then, the conversion processing switching control section 13 loads the instructed Japanese conversion processing method from the external auxiliary storage device 3 to the non-resident section 9. As a result, the designated Japanese conversion processing method becomes usable, and the input characters can be converted into Kanji using the desired conversion processing method.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, since the Japanese language conversion processing method instructed each time is loaded from the auxiliary storage means into the main memory, it is possible to load a plurality of Japanese language conversion processing methods into the main memory. Without monopolizing the memory.

It can be used by switching effectively. Therefore, the conventional problem of insufficient main memory capacity, which hinders the use of application programs, can be solved, and there is an advantage that the main memory can be used effectively.
