Abstract

PURPOSE:To point out an input mistake by securing the difference between a display form obtained through the conversion carried out in a non-standard reading form and a display form obtained through the conversion carried out in a standard reading form. CONSTITUTION:A word dictionary stores the reading forms, the writing forms, the grammatical information, and the information showing the standard or non-standard reading forms opposite to each other. Then it is decided by reference to the word dictionary whether the KANA (Japanese syllabary)/KANJI (Chinese character) conversion is carried out in a standard or non-standard reading form. Then a normal display form is adopted when the standard reading form is applied. When the non-standard reading form is applied, the display form is inverted. Thus it is possible to point out the input mistakes of an input operator to ask him to reconsider the input operations, to prevent the wrong writing forms, and to omit the troublesome correcting operations after a print- out state.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a character processing device that performs kana-kanji conversion, inputs characters, and creates and edits Japanese documents.

[Prior Art] In character processing devices that input Japanese characters, it is common to input characters using kana-kanji conversion. In the above-mentioned Kana-Kanji conversion, only the readings that are recognized as standard are converted, and non-standard readings are not converted as intended. However, since this is inconvenient, there are character processing devices that can also convert standard readings.

However, in that case, there is no difference in the display format whether the input is in the standard reading or the non-standard reading.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional method described above has the drawback that it is impossible to tell whether or not the user has entered the wrong pronunciation. For example, if you enter the non-standard pronunciation of ``tori,''
If the user inputs the standard pronunciation ``dori'' and it is converted to ``dori r dori,'' the user will never realize that he or she made a mistake. Furthermore, if the okori kana part is not the standard reading, it means that the notation itself is not the standard reading. Enter the display format when converted or the standard pronunciation "Motoduku"
If the display format is the same as when converted to
However, this creates an illusion as if the word is in standard notation, and the person inputting the word will continue to create the document without realizing that the converted word is not in standard notation. Mispronunciations are not corrected, which is not desirable in terms of operational training for inputters, especially beginners, and when printed out, the document ends up with the wrong font, making it extremely troublesome to correct it later.

[Means (and effects) for solving the problem According to the present invention, the display form when the standard reading is converted is different from the display form when the normal standard reading is converted. With this configuration, it is possible to point out input errors by the inputter, encourage the inputter to reconsider, prevent typographical errors, and eliminate troublesome correction operations after printing out.

[Example] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

CR is a cursor register. The CPU reads and writes the contents of the cursor register. A CRT controller CRTC, which will be described later, displays a cursor at a position on the display device CRT corresponding to the address stored here.

DBUF is a display buffer memory that stores data patterns to be displayed. When displaying the contents of the document data, data on the text buffer TBUF is expanded into DBUF based on the data on the text buffer TBUF.

CR block C is cursor register CR and buffer DBUF
It plays the role of displaying the contents stored in the display device CRT.

Further, a CRT is a display device using a cathode ray tube or the like, and the display of a dot configuration pattern and a cursor on the display device CRT is controlled by a CRT controller.

Furthermore, the CG is a character generator that stores patterns of characters and symbols to be displayed on the display device CRT.

The character processing device of the present invention, which is composed of each of these components, operates in response to various inputs from the keyboard KB. C.P.
The microprocessor CPU reads various control signals stored in the ROM and performs various controls in accordance with these control signals.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of operation of the apparatus of the present invention. In the figure,
CRT means 1 display screen.

CM is a cursor that indicates the position where a character will be inserted the next time the key is pressed manually. TS is a text screen area, and the contents of the document stored in the text buffer TBUF are displayed. MS is a monitor line area, which is an area where input key data is displayed one by one. When performing kana-kanji conversion, etc., the reading sequence is displayed on the MS, and after conversion, the conversion result is transferred to the TS. FIG. 2(a) is a diagram showing a normal display form. First, the operator attempts to convert the word "based" into kana-kanji into a text buffer by key-inputting the reading "moto-duku" and then inputting the kana-kanji conversion key "/". “Motoduku/” is converted into kana/kanji and becomes “based” and enters the text screen. Similarly, in Figure 2 (b), when trying to convert ``Kazuku'' into kana-kanji, the reading is ``Motosu〈.
Press the key manually, then enter the Kana-Kanji conversion key "/"
Enter. "Motozu</J" is converted into kana/kanji and becomes "Motozu〈" and enters the text screen. However, since "Kazuku" is not a standard notation, it is displayed inverted by 1, unlike the normal display.

FIG. 3 shows the structure of the dictionary in the present invention. Words are divided into "yomi" (20 characters), which is the pronunciation of the word, and "notation" (20 characters), which is the notation of the "yomi".
0 characters), ``Grammar information j (10 characters) indicating the grammatical information of that ``notation'', whether it is ``yomi'' or standard reading,
The fixed-length dictionary contains four pieces of information: a "flag" (2 characters) that indicates whether the reading is not standard. "flag"
is given the information "rO" if the reading is standard, or flJ if the reading is not standard. For example, the standard pronunciation of ``based'' is ``based''.
``based on'', the notation ``based'', grammatical information ``5-dan conjugation verb'', and ``Flag J'' indicating the standard reading.
If fOJ is in the dictionary and there is no standard notation r-based J, the reading is ``motozu<'', the 1 notation is ``motozu〈'', the grammatical information is ``stone step conjugation'', and there is no standard notation. It has a flag J rlJ in the dictionary that indicates the information.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the overall structure of a text buffer TBUF that stores the contents of document data being created and edited.

FIG. 4(a) is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the TBUF.

Documents are stored as sequences of characters.

FIG. 84(b) is a diagram showing the structure of each character. One character consists of two hides.

MSB (2" bits) is the homophone flag, and the remaining part (214-2° bits) is the coat part.

The homophone flag indicates whether the character is a homophone or a regular character; when it is 0, it is a regular character, and when it is l, it is a homophone. In the case of normal characters, the character coat or JIS X 0208 coat is stored in the coat section. If it is a homophone, the homophone number is stored in the coat section. The homophone number serves as an index in the index section of the homophone buffer area, which will be described later, and specifies a specific homophone buffer.

FIG. 5 shows the configuration of the homophone buffer.

“Yomi” is an area that stores character strings before conversion.

"Notation" is an area that stores the notation for the reading sequence. The "flag" is an area that stores information required when displaying the conversion result, and indicates what kind of display format should be used. For example, if the "flag" is Ir0J, it is a standard reading and is displayed in the normal display format, and if it is rll, it is displayed in reverse because it is a non-standard reading.

The operation of the character processing device according to the present invention will be explained below.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for taking in key human power and performing processing. Step 6-1 is a process of importing data from the keyboard into the input file KBBUF. Hereinafter, the process branches as follows depending on the type of key existing in KBBUF. If the KBBUF contains data for a kana-kanji conversion key, kana-kanji conversion must be performed, and the process branches to step 6-2.
Display the "notation" that is the result of the conversion. Otherwise, in step 6-3, move the cursor,
Performs other operations found in general character processing devices such as insertion and deletion.

FIG. 7 is a detailed flowchart of the kana-kanji conversion in step 6-2 of FIG. In step 7-1, the input pronunciation is analyzed and conversion candidates are created. Furthermore, it is determined which of these conversion candidates is most likely, and the most plausible word is determined as the first candidate. In step 7-2, homophones are created based on the determined first candidate. At that time, information indicating whether the input is in the standard reading or in a reading that is not the standard notation is set in the homophone buffer as a flag.

The first candidate homophone and flag set in the homophone buffer are output in step 7-3.

FIG. 8 is a detailed flowchart of "notation display" in step 6-4 of FIG. In step 8-1, if it is determined that the reading is standard by referring to the flag in the homophone buffer to determine whether the kana-kanji conversion was performed using standard reading or non-standard reading. The screen branches to 8-2 and is displayed in a normal display format, and if it is determined that it is a standard reading, the screen branches to 8-3 and is displayed in reverse.

[Other Embodiments] In the above description, the case where the dictionary has a fixed length has been described, but the dictionary can also have a variable length. "Yomi" which is the pronunciation of the word, "notation" which is the notation of the "yomi", "grammatical information" which shows the grammatical information of the "notation", and whether it is the "yomi" or the standard reading notation. , a dictionary with four pieces of information: a "flag" that indicates whether it is not a standard reading, or a dictionary of variable length by inserting a code at the end of each data to indicate the end of each data. .

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, when a wrong pronunciation is input, or because the ``Okurikana'' part is not the standard pronunciation, the notation itself or the standard pronunciation may be changed. The display format when the number disappears is different from that when the correct pronunciation is input, or when the standard pronunciation is changed to the standard notation. In addition, it encourages reflection, prevents typographical errors, and
This also eliminates troublesome correction operations after printing.
