Abstract

PURPOSE:To display only a character/symbol group corresponding to a special reading such as Roman numerals without changing arrangement by permitting a learning suppression means to selectively suppress a learning means at every reading. CONSTITUTION:A micro processor (CPU) 10 controls a whole device, and executes document generation processing, an external character generation processing and the like by starting a program which accesses a memory 11 and follows an input instruction. Then, the learning suppression means which selectively suppresses the action of the learning means displaying so that that a conversion candidate character/mark which is previously selected as to reading comes to a head as to several conversion candidate characters/marks corresponding to inputted reading. Thus, the learning function is prevented from operating as to the character/mark group corresponding to special reading such as the Roman numerals, and the operability of character input using a single KANJI (Chinese character) conversion function is improved.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention has a so-called single kanji conversion function that inputs the pronunciation of one kanji character and converts it into kanji. The present invention relates to a document creation device.

(Prior Art) Generally, a document creation device that performs kana-kanji conversion converts one kanji (hereinafter referred to as a single kanji) to the input reading.
A single kanji conversion function that converts names of surnames and place names that are not registered in general dictionaries.

It has a function to input and convert on-yomi or kun-yomi for each kanji in order to output compound words, etc.

The single kanji conversion function converts the input reading into a single kanji by pressing a specific key that specifies the single kanji conversion ("single kanji conversion" key), which corresponds to the input reading. It displays single kanji characters that are candidates for conversion, and allows the user to select one of the displayed kanji characters. Usually, there are multiple kanji that correspond to the readings, so multiple kanji are displayed on the screen. Further, if all candidates cannot be displayed on one screen, other single kanji candidates are displayed on the next screen that is displayed by pressing the next candidate key, for example. In this way, there are multiple single kanji that correspond to the input reading, and because the input may move to the next screen, the single kanji conversion function has a learning function for multiple single kanji that are conversion candidates. ing. In other words, if the learning function for multiple single kanji is used to repeatedly convert one reading input into a single kanji using the single kanji conversion function, the conversion to the same single kanji will be performed. Since there are many candidates for single kanji conversion, the single kanji candidate that was previously selected for single kanji conversion will be displayed at the top position the next time when single kanji conversion with the same reading is performed, so that it can be easily selected. It is something.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, when the kana character "a" is input and multiple single kanji conversion candidates are displayed at the bottom of the display screen, the second single kanji "go" is converted into a single character. Once selected as a single kanji for kanji conversion, the next time you use the single kanji conversion function, the single kanji “
"I" is displayed at the beginning.

On the other hand, the single kanji conversion function described above not only converts the input reading into a single kanji, but also converts the input reading into a specific character group (roman numerals, round numbers, Greek letters, -abbreviations) specified by the reading. Some devices have a function that allows easy input of special characters, such as displaying a character selected from the characters (e.g.). Specifically, when the reading ``Rouma'' is input and the ``single kanji conversion'' key is pressed, a list of Roman numerals, which is a group of characters corresponding to the reading, is displayed as shown in Figure 7. It is something.

When one is selected from the list of Roman numerals displayed in this way, the input reading ``Rouma'' is converted into the selected Roman numeral. By the way, even when inputting special characters using such a single kanji conversion function, the characters previously selected by the learning function will be used during the next single kanji conversion, just like when performing normal single kanji conversion. Displayed at the top. In Figure 7, if the third Roman numeral "■" is selected, the next time you enter a character using the single kanji function, start with the Roman numeral rlIIJ as shown in Figure 8. Displays a list of numbers.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In this way, in the single kanji conversion function that converts the input pronunciation into one character/symbol, the character/symbol previously selected by the learning function is displayed at the beginning. Ta. For this reason, when performing single kanji conversion on input readings, selection can be made efficiently. However, special characters and
When inputting symbols, characters are often selected at random, rather than being repeatedly converted into the same character, unlike in normal single kanji conversion. Therefore, when the learning function is used to change the arrangement of characters displayed in a predetermined arrangement, such as Roman numerals or rounded numerals, there is a problem in that it becomes more difficult to select.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and therefore, in the single character/symbol conversion function (single kanji conversion function) that converts the input reading into one character/symbol, the character/symbol corresponding to a specific reading can be converted into one character/symbol. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document creation device capable of disabling a learning function for groups (conversion candidate characters).

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a storage means in which several conversion candidate characters/symbols that are candidates for converting the pronunciation into a desired character are stored in association with each pronunciation. and the input reading,
a conversion means for converting an input into a desired character/symbol selected by a selection means from among the conversion candidate characters/symbols stored in the storage means in association with the reading; a learning means for displaying a number of conversion candidate characters/symbols corresponding to the selected reading such that the conversion candidate character/symbol previously selected by the selection means for the same reading comes first; and operations of the learning means. and a learning inhibiting means for selectively inhibiting each of the input pronunciations.

(Function) According to such a configuration, since the learning means is selectively inhibited for each reading by the learning inhibiting means, the learning means is selectively inhibited for each reading, so that the learning means is selectively inhibited for each reading, so that the group of characters/symbols (
Conversion candidate characters) can be displayed without changing the arrangement.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, when creating a document, when a formatting mode is designated by a key operation of the K B 18, the CPU 10 uses the formatting display data stored in the formatting area (not shown) in the memory 11 to Display formatting screen −
It is displayed on the display 20 by the CNT 21. In this formatting mode, settings are made for a plurality of setting items displayed on the formatting screen according to data input from KBlg. As a result, the number of characters that can be accommodated per line, the number of lines that can be accommodated per page, character spacing, line feed pitch (line spacing), character size, etc. are set. Further, the input mode, for example, "Hiragana input" or "Romaji input" is also set according to the selection designation. Such formatting data and data such as input mode are written in the formatting area.

When the settings such as formatting are completed, the display unit 20 displays CPU10.
The screen is switched to the document creation screen, and the document input screen is displayed, and settings such as format and input mode are displayed on the guide line.

When the character key K B 1g is pressed while the document input screen thus set is displayed, character data is input. Here, it is assumed that the input mode is set to "hiragana input". Normally, when the "convert" key is pressed after inputting character data, the CP
UJO performs kana-kanji conversion on input character data (reading) by referring to dictionary data stored in the dictionary area 15.

On the other hand, when the "single kanji conversion" key is pressed after character data (reading) is input, CPU10 starts the single kanji conversion processing program Ha in the program area 13, and converts the input character data (reading) into Executes single kanji conversion processing.

Here, the single kanji conversion process in this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, a predetermined reading is input from K B 1g (step Sl). Here, when the "single kanji conversion" key is pressed, the CPU 10 executes the single kanji conversion processing program 13a.
is activated to refer to the single kanji conversion table stored in the single kanji conversion table area 16 and start the single kanji conversion process.

Here, the single kanji conversion table will be explained with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, the reading data section 30 is composed of a plurality of (n) readings that are subject to single kanji conversion, and is searched based on the input readings.

In addition to the readings for general single kanji conversion, the reading data section 30 contains readings for reading special characters and symbols such as Roman numerals, round numbers, and abbreviations ("Rouma" and "Marusuuji"). "Tokushu" etc.) are set. In the kanji data section 30, at least one character/symbol (character/symbol group) that is a candidate for single kanji conversion is set, corresponding to each reading set in the reading data section 30. Further, a previously selected kanji number section 32 and a learning prohibition flag section 33 are set corresponding to each reading set in the reading data section 30. Note that the kanji number indicates the arrangement order of kanji characters set in the kanji data section 30 in the initial state.

In the case of general single kanji conversion candidates, the characters are arranged in the order of the number of strokes, and in the case of special character numbers,
It is assumed that the items are arranged in ascending order (in ascending order of numerical value) or in order of frequency of use. The previously selected kanji number section 32 is set to "1" as an initial value.

Further, the learning prohibition flag unit 33 is set to “0” when display learning of predetermined characters/symbols set in the kanji data unit 30 is performed.
”, and “1” is set if no learning is to be performed.

When the single kanji conversion processing program 13a starts, the CPU
l0 searches the input reading from the reading data section 30 of the kanji conversion table (step S2).

Here, if the input reading does not exist in the reading data section 30, it is determined that the character to be converted into a single kanji does not exist, and a message to that effect is displayed on the display 20, and the single kanji conversion process is performed. (Step S3). On the other hand, in step S3, if the input reading exists in the reading data section 30, the kanji data section 30 corresponding to this reading
It is determined whether learning processing is to be performed or not based on the set value of the learning prohibition flag section 33 (step 4). Here, if "O" is set in a predetermined location of the learning prohibition flag section 33, the CPU 10 obtains character information of the kanji number set in the previously selected kanji number section 32 from the kanji data section 30 and displays it. The characters are displayed at the beginning of the guide line of the device 20 (step S5), and the remaining characters set in the kanji data section 30, excluding the character displayed at the beginning, are displayed in the order of their kanji numbers (step S6). In addition, in the initial state,
Since "1" is set in the previously selected kanji number section 32, the kanji characters are displayed in the sequence set in the kanji data section 30.

On the other hand, in step S4, if 1'' is set in the predetermined location of the learning prohibition flag unit 33, the CPU10
A learning prohibition mark (for example, the character "Kin") indicating that learning is prohibited is displayed on the guide line of the display 20 (step S7), and characters are displayed in the arrangement order set in the kanji data section 30. (Step S8). Fourth
The figure shows an example of a display when the reading "Rouma" is input and single kanji conversion is specified in a state where learning is prohibited.

In this way, when the conversion candidates (group) corresponding to the input pronunciation are displayed on the guide line of the display 20, a key input waiting state is entered. Here, it is possible to select one character/symbol from the displayed conversion candidates, or to switch whether or not to prohibit learning processing for the conversion candidate character/symbol corresponding to the pronunciation to be processed. Of course, at this time, by pressing the "Cancel" key,
You can also cancel the conversion. Selecting a character/symbol from the conversion candidates is done by pressing the number key indicating the number attached to the displayed conversion candidate character/symbol, or by moving the cursor key and pressing the "Select" key. (
Step S9). If a character/symbol is selected, the CPU
l0 sets the kanji number of the selected character/symbol in the previously selected kanji number section 32 of the single kanji conversion table (step 510). For example, when the third character “■” is selected from the candidate characters displayed as shown in FIG. 3”. In this way, the CPU
l0 converts the input reading into a selected character from the candidate characters, and ends the single kanji conversion process.

On the other hand, if the data input from KB18 is not for selecting conversion characters/symbols, but is input by pressing the "learning switch" key (step 5l)
l) It is determined whether learning is prohibited from the setting value of the learning prohibition flag section 33 (step S12). Here, if "1" is set in a predetermined location of the learning prohibition flag section 33, "O" is set.

If it is set to "0", it is set to "1" (step S14).

That is, by pressing the "learning switch" key, the contents of the learning prohibition flag section 33 are switched. In step S13, when the learning prohibition flag section 33 is switched from 12 to "0", the process returns to step S5 and the conversion candidate characters/symbols are redisplayed in the learned state. In this case, the character to be displayed at the beginning is determined according to the content set in the previously selected kanji number section 32. Further, in step S14, when the learning prohibition flag section 33 is switched from "0" to "1", the process returns to step S7, and the learning prohibition mark is displayed, as well as displayed in the arrangement order set in the kanji data section 30. Do this. For example, even if the third character "■" was selected from the candidate characters displayed as shown in Figure 4 using the single kanji function last time, the learning prohibition flag section 33 is set to "1". If so, the next time the conversion candidate characters/symbols are displayed, they will be displayed in the same manner as in FIG.

In this way, it is determined whether or not to activate the learning function when displaying conversion candidate characters/symbols corresponding to the input pronunciation, depending on the contents of the learning prohibition flag section 33 of the single kanji conversion table. Therefore, it is possible to easily avoid changing the arrangement of conversion candidate characters/symbols for a specific group of characters/symbols among the pronunciations to be subjected to single kanji conversion processing.

In the above embodiment, the learning prohibition flag section 33 can be set arbitrarily, but the reading that does not activate the learning function is set in advance (a predetermined part of the learning prohibition flag section 33 is set as "
1"), and the learning function may always be disabled for a specific group of characters/symbols (a special group of characters/symbols).

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, in the single kanji conversion function, conversion candidate characters/symbols corresponding to the input pronunciation are displayed in accordance with information indicating whether or not to activate the learning function. Therefore, by setting the contents of the flag for each reading, it is possible to prevent the learning function from working for characters and symbol groups that correspond to special readings, such as Roman numerals. Therefore, the operability of character input using the single kanji conversion function is improved.
