Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a document processing device, and more particularly, to a document processing device that outputs a sentence containing kanji and kana.

[Prior Art] When inputting an address into a document processing device, the following methods can be considered.

(1) Select and input the desired character one by one from the keyboard where kanji are arranged.

(2) Enter the code assigned to each kanji character from the keyboard.

(3) Enter the reading of the address from the keyboard and convert it to kanji using the kana/kanji conversion method.

(4) Codes previously assigned to addresses, e.g.
Enter the JIS code, Nissho code, Ground Self-Defense Force code, etc.

Methods (1) to (3) above both have the disadvantage that the number of keystrokes increases when the kanji are consecutive, such as an address. If we use the same structure as a word dictionary for general words and phrases, we can read kana,
The disadvantage is that additional information such as grammatical information must be added, which increases the size of the dictionary.

In addition, method (4) does not have the drawbacks of methods (1) to (3) described above, but the codes themselves are not commonly used and are only for special purposes, so operators cannot use these codes. The disadvantage was that in order to enter a code, one had to refer to a table of correspondence between addresses and codes. Further, as prior art, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 54-108527 and 55-74633 can be mentioned. However, there was still room for improvement. Therefore, even if various technologies similar to the individual constituent features of the present invention existed, there was a problem that the present invention would never be created unless one desired it with a strong awareness of the problem to be solved.

[Purpose] The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology.
Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a document processing device that can also obtain a desired address by inputting a commonly used postal code.

In view of the above points, the present invention provides document processing that can switch between obtaining a normal kanji-kana mixed sentence based on input kana information and obtaining kanji information representing an address by inputting a postal code. The purpose is to provide equipment. Alternatively, the first information representing the capital, prefecture, or prefecture name common to multiple postal codes, and the city or ward corresponding to each capital, prefecture, prefecture, or prefecture. , or the second word representing the name of a town or village.
By storing this information, the storage capacity is extremely small compared to storing the capital, prefecture, prefecture name, city, ward, town, and village name in correspondence with each postal code on a one-to-one basis. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a document processing device that can perform the following tasks. Furthermore, by storing first instruction information that specifies the first information and second instruction information that specifies the second information, the first instruction information and the second instruction information can be referred to and efficiently read. It is an object of the present invention to provide a document processing device that can obtain first information and second information corresponding to each postal code.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a control circuit applied to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a microprocessor, and 2 is an address bus that specifies the address of each input/output memory. Reference numeral 3 indicates a data bus, which is a bidirectional bus used to transfer various types of data, and reference numeral 4 indicates a control bus, which is used to electrically transmit information such as reading and writing of each memory, reception of interrupts, data set timing, etc. used.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a keyboard, on which various keys such as alphabet keys and hiragana keys are arranged. The keyboard 5 is connected to a keyboard controller 6. Data entered via the keyboard 5 is encoded by the keyboard controller 6 and sends an interrupt signal to the control bus 4.

The one indicated by code 7 is a CRT controller,
It controls the CRT device 8, character generator 9, refresh memory 10, and refresh memory controller 11. The CRT device 8 can perform a display similar to that of a normal television receiver, and the character generator 9 inputs codes such as character codes and line addresses of the character pattern to display the pattern of that line in the character pattern. Output sequentially. Refresh memory 10
Stores the character code to be displayed on the CRT device 8,
The character code is repeatedly output in response to the display instruction from the CRT controller 7, and the refresh memory controller 11 performs the above-mentioned refresh cycle for CRT display and the microprocessor in response to the instruction from the CRT controller 7. Controls writing and reading from server 1.

The one indicated by code 12 is read-only memory.
The ROM is a ROM that stores the control procedure described in FIG. 3, as well as various processing procedures including the tables shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Also, code 13
14 is a controller for the ROM 12, and 14 is a random access memory RAM, which temporarily stores various data and processing procedures. Reference numeral 15 is a controller for the RAM 14, and 16 is a floppy disk, which is driven by a drive device 17, which is controlled by a controller 18. Further, reference numeral 19 indicates a printer, which is connected to the controller 20.

The character processing device having the above configuration is operated by input from the keyboard 5, and when an input is made from the keyboard 5, an interrupt signal is transmitted to the microprocessor 1.
Various control operations necessary for character processing are performed according to control procedures stored in the ROM 12.

FIG. 2 shows details of the keyboard 5. In the figure, reference numeral 5A is a kanji key for specifying the delimitation of kanji, and 5B is a code input key for inputting a code.

Next, details of the operation of the document processing apparatus will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, input the character string input from keyboard 5 into 3
Read by 0. At this time, the CPU determines whether the code input key 5B has been pressed (31),
It is determined whether to proceed to normal processing, that is, normal kana-kanji conversion processing (32), or to enter a processing routine based on code input.

When the code input key 5B is pressed, it is determined whether the next character is the character P indicating the input of a postal code or the letter T indicating the area code of the telephone number (33), and if anything else is input, the normal code is input. Moving on to the input routine (34).

After the code input key 5B is pressed, if P is keyed in, the character string that follows until the code input key 5B is input next is judged to be a postal code, the number is read (35), and the postal code is read. Search the address correspondence table (see Figure 4a) for the number. This is step 36.

FIG. 4a shows an address correspondence table for postal codes, and FIG. 4b shows an address correspondence table for telephone number area codes. A search is performed by postal code or telephone area code to obtain large pointer and small pointer data. The large pointer is a pointer for prefecture names and ordinance cities, and the small pointer is a pointer for city, ward, town, and village names, and serves as a pointer for the address file shown in FIG. 5.

To search the address file shown in FIG. 5 from the pointer data shown in FIG. 4, first search the index 51 where the large pointer flag 50 is set using the large pointer, and then search for the index that matches the small pointer. to output the desired address code in kanji (37).

Figure 6 shows an example of the input and output described above. Figure 6a shows an example where a postal code of 100 is input, and Figure 6b shows a telephone number with an area code of 045,
This is an example when station number 541 is input. In this way, it is possible to extremely easily output an address in kanji using a document processing device using a kana-kanji conversion method using a postal code or telephone area number.

In the above embodiment, an example of application of the kana-kanji conversion method to a document processing device is shown, but it will be easily understood that the present invention can be applied to all Japanese output devices that allow input using a keyboard.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention has an excellent effect in that it is possible to obtain an address output in kanji characters simply by inputting a commonly used postal code or telephone number area code.

Alternatively, since the kanji character string representing the address corresponding to the postal code can be uniquely obtained without using the above-mentioned kana-kanji conversion processing, there is an effect that the processing can be performed efficiently.

Although the present invention has been described as a document processing device, it goes without saying that it can also be applied to a case where the present invention is achieved by supplying a program to the device.

In this embodiment, examples of addresses include city, ward,
Although towns and villages are mentioned, it is not limited to these.
It goes without saying that for inputting or modifying other addresses, for example, kana-kanji conversion processing may be used in the same way as for normal text input.

[Effects] As detailed above, according to the document processing device of the present invention, it is possible to input ordinary sentences, and furthermore, it is also possible to obtain a desired address by inputting a postal code that is used on a daily basis. It becomes possible to provide a document processing device that can Or further, the first information representing the name of a city, road, prefecture, or prefecture common to multiple postal codes, and a city or prefecture corresponding to each city, road, prefecture, or prefecture. By storing second information representing the ward, town, or village name, the city, prefecture, prefecture, etc.
It is possible to provide a document processing device that can store prefectural and prefectural names and city, ward, town, and village names in a much smaller capacity than when storing them on a one-to-one basis. Furthermore, the first
By also storing first instruction information that specifies the information of Corresponding first information and second information
It is possible to provide a document processing device that can obtain information on the following information.
