Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the error and to improve the work efficiency by retrieving a memory to retrieve the same word as a given word at the time of inputting a same word retrieval instruction from an input means and displaying the retrieved word in a display form different from that of the other words. CONSTITUTION:When a key indicating the retrieval and the word to be retrieved are inputted from an input control part 2, a sentence editing part 3 checks whether data of a sentence is stored in a text buffer memory 4 or not; and when it is stored there, the part 3 starts a word retrieving part 7 and gives data of the word to be retrieved to perform the retrieval. The same word is found, a display control part 6 reads out data in the text buffer memory 4 and instructs special display to a display part 5 to display it in a special form different from that of the other words. Thus, an operatoro distinctly finds it, and overlooking is prevented at the time of checking the sentence expression to improve the work efficiency.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 'Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a document creation device, and more particularly to a document creation device that can easily check the expression of sentences.

(Prior Art) As a conventional document creation device with a text expression checking function, one that automatically checks writing style is known. Specifically, copulations are detected and the copulations are aligned to, for example, the ``desumasu'' sentence or the ``j key''.

However, even if the style of writing is consistent, if the words that make up the sentences do not vary, the sentences will become monotonous and may even give a bad impression. In such cases, in conventional document creation devices, the text is displayed on a display screen or printed out, and an operator examines the word distribution of the output text.

However, doing so places a burden on the operator,
There were problems in that it was easy to make errors and work efficiency was poor.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention!) As mentioned above, although conventional document creation devices have a writing style check function, they cannot check the distribution of words that make up a sentence, and cannot search for such word distribution. was mostly done by the operator, making it prone to errors and
This caused the problem of poor work efficiency.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of conventional document creation devices, and its purpose is to make it possible to clearly see the distribution of desired words, thereby reducing the burden placed on the operator. This reduces errors,
An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device that can improve work efficiency.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention comprises: an input means for inputting commands and various data; a display means for visually displaying text; and a memory for storing input text data. , a search means for searching the memory for a word identical to the word when a search command for the same word is input from the input means; and a search means for reading data from the memory and displaying the sentence on the display means. In doing so, the document creation device is provided with display control means for displaying the word searched by the search means in a display format different from that of other words.

(Operation) According to the above configuration, by simply inputting a search command for the same word, the same word will be searched for and displayed in a format different from other words, so the operator can easily search for the same word. You will be able to search.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 indicates an input unit, such as a keyboard input device or a mouse. The input control section 2 detects key operations on the input section 1 and outputs corresponding code data. The output code data is given to the text editing section 3. The text editing section 3 is a part that has the central function of the document creation device, stores the initial "kana input" code data in the text buffer memory 4, refers to a kana-kanji conversion dictionary (not shown), and performs kana-kanji conversion. The conversion result is stored in place of the corresponding code data in the text buffer memory 4. The display section 5 is composed of, for example, a CRT, an LCD, etc., and is controlled by a display control section 6 consisting of a CRT controller and an LCD controller to display text. The display control section 6 reads the code data of the corresponding page in the text buffer memory 4 and displays it on the display section 3 based on the information indicating the page etc. given via the text editing section 3 .

In addition, from the input unit 1, it is possible to input codes for correcting sentences, requesting the next candidate, and controlling the movement of the cursor, and the text editing unit 3 inputs information in the text buffer memory 4 based on these inputs. Rewrite the data using your own kana-kanji conversion dictionary. This rewriting also changes the words displayed on the display section 5.

Furthermore, in the document creation device of the present invention, the input unit 1 is equipped with a key for instructing a search for the same word, and the operation of this key and the specification of a word - for example, by moving the cursor to specify a word on the display unit 5 (this key is used to specify a word on the display unit 5) The search mote can be executed by manually inputting the desired word (using the mouse) or by manually inputting the desired word. The operation at this time is performed by the text editing section 3 and the word search section 7, which are composed of a CPU, etc., based on the program shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, and will be explained below.

The text editing unit 3 detects whether or not an operation request has been made by inputting from the input control unit 2 a key instructing a search and a word to be searched (201>. If this operation request is made, the text editing unit 3 detects whether or not an operation request has been made. Part 3 is text buffer memory 4
Check whether text data is stored in (202)
, is stored, activates the word search section 7, gives data of the word to be searched, and causes the search to be performed. The word search unit 7 retrieves data of the first sentence from the text stored in the text buffer memory 4 and performs a search (20
3). Then, check whether there are the same words (204),
If not, the process returns to step 202 and repeats the above operation until the search is completed for all sentences.

On the other hand, if the same word is found, the data in the text buffer memory 4 is rewritten so that the word is specially displayed (205), and the process returns to step 202.

When the search for all data in the text buffer memory 4 is completed in this way, a return is made and control is returned to the text editing section 3.

Meanwhile, during this time, the display control unit 6 reads the data in the text buffer memory 4 and displays the corresponding data on the display unit 5. However, when there is an instruction for special display as described above, the word in question is displayed in the corresponding special display. Perform display. For example, various methods are used for special display, such as black and white inverted display, display with different colors for color display, display surrounding the display with a frame, and blink display. An operator who sees such a display can clearly determine whether the same word occurs frequently and can change it to another word. For example, if "it is possible" occurs frequently, it can be changed to "it is possible". This correction method is based on a known method. Further, in the embodiment, one word is designated, but a plurality of words may be designated and the display format may be changed for each word to be displayed simultaneously.

Further, the display control unit 6 may change the display format sequentially each time the word search unit 7 searches for a sentence, or may change the display format all at once until the search for all sentences is completed. This timing is given by the text editing section 3. Furthermore, when several pages worth of data are stored in the text buffer memory 4, the processing may be performed sequentially starting from the first page, or the input unit 1 may provide a page instruction. Further, data may be transferred to the text buffer memory 4 from an external storage device such as a floppy disk (not shown) in addition to the keyboard of the input unit 1, or recognition results by OCR may be imported. Further, the word search section 7 may be included in the text editing section 3.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, by simply inputting a search command for the same word, the same word is searched for and displayed in a format different from other words. It is obvious to the operator at a glance, and there is no oversight when the operator checks the written expression, which has the effect of improving work efficiency.
