Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent misunderstanding given on an operator by displaying a character string as a HIRAGANA(cursive form of Japanese syllabary) character string conversion candidate only when KANA(Japanese syllabary)/KANJI (Chinese character) conversion can be performed with correct reading. CONSTITUTION:When a word (toori) is inputted erroneously to a HIRAGANA character string input part 1, it is retrieved whether or not a HIRAGANA character string (touri) is stored in a re-reading table 3 by a re-reading conversion means 2, and the fact that the word (toori) conformed to the word (touri) is stored in the re-reading table 3 is confirmed. Also, the means 2 retrieves whether or not a KANA/KANJI mixed character string corresponding to the (toori) is registered in a table 5. In such a case, the word (touri) is registered on the table 5, therefore, a means 4 employs the word (toori) as the re-reading conversion candidate, and displays it on a display means 6. Adversely, when the word (toori) is inputted to the input part 1, no word (touri) is registered on the table 5 by the means 2, therefore, the means 4 deletes the word (touri) from the re-reading conversion candidate, and sends no word to the display means 6.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial use! f The present invention relates to a kana-kanji conversion device installed in a Japanese language processing device such as a Japanese word processor.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a character string with an ambiguous pronunciation is input from a hiragana character string input means used in this type of Japanese language processing device, when converting it into the correct hiragana character string, it is necessary to check the errors in advance. After searching the transliteration table that stores the correspondence between sumiyomi and the correct reading and converting it to the correct hiragana string, search the dictionary table that stores the strings containing kana and kanji to find the corresponding strings containing kana and kanji. I'm trying to search and display it on the display.

Here, as an example where it is easy to make mistakes, let's take the case where you want to input "street". The correct reading of ``dori'' is ``tori,'' and ``tori'' is an easy reading.

Therefore, if you accidentally enter "Tori",
The reading conversion means searches the reading table and
The character string is converted into a character string "tori", a character string containing kana and kanji is searched for stored in a dictionary table, and the character string is converted to "dori" and displayed on a display means.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional hiragana character string conversion for the inputted pronunciation, strings that are not stored in the table that associates hiragana character strings with kana-kanji mixed character strings can also be converted into hiragana character strings. It is considered as a candidate.

For example, in the above example of "as per", the operator is correct and "
Even if you enter "as per", the translation table will contain "
Since the correspondence "Toori m = As" is stored,
The reading conversion means searches the reading table and reads out the hiragana character string ``tori'' that corresponds to ``tori''.
Even though the character string containing kana and kanji that corresponds to ``tori'' is not stored in the dictionary table, in order to convert it to the character string containing kana and kanji that corresponds to ``tori,'' is selected as a conversion candidate and displayed on the display means.

This causes the operator to momentarily become confused and interrupt his or her thinking, and even if the operator reads the hiragana character string and converts it to kana-kanji, there are problems in that the desired character string containing kana-kanji cannot be obtained. Ta.

The present invention solves such conventional problems, and only when an input hiragana character string can be converted to kana-kanji is displayed as a hiragana character string conversion candidate, and the hiragana character string can be converted. , the purpose is to provide a better kana-kanji conversion device.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the first input
Search for the second hiragana character string that corresponds to the hiragana character string in the translation table, and convert the second hiragana character string to the first hiragana character string.
Hiragana characters are displayed on the display means only when a character string containing kana and kanji corresponding to the new first hiragana character string converted by this reading conversion means is retrieved from the dictionary table. The apparatus also includes a kana-kanji conversion means for displaying character string conversion candidates.

Effect Therefore, according to the present invention, the second hiragana character string corresponding to the first hiragana character string is stored in the reading replacement table after inputting the first hiragana character string, and the second hiragana character string This method has the effect that hiragana character string conversion can be performed only when hiragana character strings and kana-kanji mixed character strings are stored in a dictionary table in which they are associated with each other.

Example The figure is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, l is a hiragana character string input means for inputting the pronunciation of a character string mixed with kana and kanji that you want to input, 2 is a hiragana character string input by the hiragana character string input means 1, and this first hiragana character string is 1 hiragana character string to 2nd
This is a transliteration conversion means that converts into hiragana character strings.

In addition, 3 is a translation table in which the first hiragana character string and the second hiragana character string are stored in correspondence, 4 is a kana-kanji conversion means that converts the hiragana character string into a mixture of kana and kanji, and 5 is the hiragana character string. 6 is a means for displaying the kana-kanji mixed character string converted by the kana-kanji conversion means 4.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

In the above embodiment, let us consider again the case where it is desired to input "street". As mentioned above, the correct reading of ``dori'' is ``tori,'' and ``tori'' is an easy reading.

Therefore, if the user accidentally inputs "tori" from the hiragana character string input section 1, the reading conversion function will be activated by the reading conversion means, and the word "tori" will be correctly input as the operator intended. Get the conversion result.

That is, when "Tori" is input into the hiragana character string input section 1, the reading conversion means 2 searches whether the hiragana character string "Tori" is stored in the reading translation table 3, and enters "Toori" in the reading translation table 3. Confirm that "Toori" and "Tori" are stored in association.

In addition, the reading conversion means 2 searches to see if a character string containing kana and kanji that corresponds to "tori" is registered in the dictionary table 5.

Here, since ``F way'' is registered in the dictionary table 5, the kana-kanji conversion means 4 adopts ``tori'' as a replacement conversion candidate for a character string containing kana and kanji, and displays it on the display means 6.

In other words, the hiragana character string input as "Tori" is changed to "
This means converting the hiragana character string ``Ori'' into ``Ori'' mixed with kana and kanji.

On the other hand, if you input "Ori" into the hiragana character string input section 1, the transliteration conversion means 2 searches whether or not the hiragana character string "Ori" exists in the transliteration table 3, and inputs the transliteration table 31 = "Ori". After confirming that "Tori" and "Tori" are stored in correspondence, the reading conversion means 2
searches to see if "Tori" is registered in the dictionary table 5.

However, since "Tori" is not registered in the dictionary table 5, the kana-kanji conversion means 4 deletes "Tori" from the replacement conversion candidates and does not send it to the display means 6.

In this way, when the incorrect pronunciation of ``tori'' is input, the reading is converted to the correct pronunciation of ``tori.'' Reading conversion is not performed because the character string is not registered in Dictionary Chiful 5.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention
Even if the second hiragana character string corresponding to the hiragana character string is stored in the translation table, it is not stored in the dictionary table that stores hiragana character strings and kana-kanji mixed character strings in correspondence. is removed from the candidates for hiragana character string conversion, and is displayed on the display as a hiragana character string conversion candidate only when kana-kanji conversion is possible.This prevents unnecessary misunderstandings for the operator, and It has the advantage of being able to perform better hiragana string conversion.
