Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily change a sentence, which includes Chinese characters (KANJI) in abnormal use, to a sentence only with KANJI in common use by retrieving only the KANJI in abnormal use from the sentence including the KANJI in abnormal use, which is the KANJI excepting for the KANJI in common use, and reading out more than one candidate for the KANJI in common use corresponding to the KANJI in abnormal use based on the retrieved KANJI in abnormal use. CONSTITUTION:When the sentence including the KANJI in abnormal use is read out from a sentence storing means 2, the sentence is stored in a temporary storing means 4 and displayed in a display means 5. In such a state, when the retrieval is indicated from an input means 1, only the KANJI in abnormal use is retrieved from the sentence stored in the temporary storing means 4 and transferred to a KANJI in common use candidate reading means 8. Further, by referring a KANJI in common use candidate dictionary memory 6, the KANJI in common use candidate reading means 8 reads out more than one candidate for the KANJI in common use corresponding to the retrieved KANJI in abnormal use and displays the candidate in the display means 5. In such a state, when an input determining indication is inputted, the selected KANJI in common use is replaced with the retrieved KANJI in abnormal use and stored in the sentence storing means 2. Thus, the sentence with the KANJI in abnormal use easily is corrected to the sentence only with the KANJI in common use.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a character processing device, and more specifically, a character processing device that can edit a sentence consisting of yellow characters for regular use and emergency kanji that are kanji other than regular kanji. Regarding.

(B) Prior Art Conventionally, when a character processing device of this type performs kanji conversion, it is generally configured to be able to select one of the commonly used kanji conversion mode and the normal kanji conversion mode. If you select common kanji conversion, the input character string will be converted using 1945 characters based on the "Commonly Used Kanji Table", and if you select normal kanji conversion, the input character string will be converted based on 2965 characters of JIS 1st level characters and 3388 characters of JIS 2nd level characters. converted. All commonly used kanji are included in the first level.

Therefore, if you do not want to input kanji other than commonly used kanji (hereinafter referred to as emergency kanji), select the commonly used kanji conversion mode during initial setup.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the character processing device configured as described above, once a sentence is created in the normal conversion mode, an operator must search for emergency kanji from that sentence. It was necessary to identify whether each kanji is an emergency kanji from the beginning of the sentence. And even if you identify the emergency kanji,
To convert emergency kanji to the corresponding common kanji, you must refer to a separate dictionary. Therefore, once you create a sentence that includes kanji other than common kanji, it becomes difficult to correct the text to only use common English characters. It took a lot of effort and time.

This invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and it is possible to search for emergency kanji in a sentence, convert the searched emergency kanji to common kanji, and easily correct the text to only common kanji. To provide a character processing device that can.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of the present invention. In the figure, the present invention includes an input means i for inputting character information and various instructions such as a search instruction and an input confirmation instruction, and for storing sentences including emergency kanji that are kanji other than regular kanji. a text storage means 2; a reading means 3 for reading a desired text from the text storage means 2; a temporary storage means 4 for temporarily storing the text read by the reading means 3; display means 5 for displaying various information including the meaning of the sentence; common kanji candidate reading means 6 for storing emergency kanji and one or more common kanji candidates corresponding to the emergency kanji in correspondence with each other; When a search instruction is input from the means 1, a search means 7 searches for an emergency kanji from the sentences stored in the temporary storage means 4, and a search means 7 searches for an emergency kanji from the sentences stored in the temporary storage means 4, and selects a corresponding common kanji candidate for the searched emergency kanji. Commonly used kanji candidate reading means 8 reads one or more frequently used kanji candidates from the commonly used kanji candidate reading means 6 and outputs them to the display means 5, and common kanji candidates read out by the commonly used kanji candidate reading means 8 when an input confirmation instruction is input from the input means l. This is a character processing device comprising input confirmation means 9 for selecting one commonly used kanji from kanji candidates.

In this invention, emergency kanji are kanji other than the kanji based on the commonly used kanji table, and in the kanji conversion of a character processing device, the remaining kanji from JIS level 1 and level 2 characters after excluding commonly used kanji are used. It is a kanji.

The character processing device of the present invention includes a computer having a Japanese word processor and a Japanese editing function.

The input means is most preferably configured with a keyboard, but may also be configured with a tablet input device or a pointing device such as a mouse. The display means may be constituted by a dot matrix type display device such as a CRT1LCD or an EL display connected to or built into the above-mentioned device.

It is preferable that the text storage means is constituted by a hard disk or floppy disk as an external storage device,
Depending on the capacity of the text to be stored, the built-in RAM of the device may be
It can also be composed of A work buffer in the main memory can be used as the temporary storage means, and a ROM' built into the device can be used as the commonly used kanji candidate reading means.

The reading means, the search means, the commonly used kanji candidate reading means, and the input confirmation means are composed of a CPU, and currently have an 8-bit, i
6-bit and 32-bit CPUs can be used.

(E) Effect According to the present invention, when a sentence including emergency kanji is read from the sentence storage means 2, the read sentence is stored in the temporary storage means 4 and displayed on the display means. When a search instruction is input from the input means 1 in this state, only emergency kanji are retrieved from the sentences stored in the temporary storage means 4 and output to the display means 5. The searched emergency kanji is transferred to the common kanji candidate reading means 8, and the common kanji candidate reading means 8 further refers to the common kanji candidate reading means 6 to find common kanji candidates corresponding to the searched emergency kanji. One or more are read out and displayed on the display means 5.

In this state, when inputting an input confirmation instruction to select one common kanji from among the common kanji candidates from the input means 1, the selected common kanji is replaced with the searched emergency kanji and stored in the text storage means 2. be remembered.

(F) EXAMPLES The present invention will be described in detail below based on examples shown in the figures. Note that this invention is not limited by this.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a Japanese word processor which is an embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure, I
O is a keyboard, which is equipped with a conversion key for converting character keys to kanji, an execution key for executing processing, a release key for canceling commands, etc. Various instructions are provided by the CPUI, which will be described later.
given to I. Reference numeral 12 denotes a text memory consisting of RAM, which stores texts including emergency kanji. A work buffer 13 temporarily stores sentences read from the sentence memory 12. 14 is a search kanji buffer;
Emergency kanji searched from the text are sesotoed. 15
is a list of common and kanji codes for common use and kanji. 16 is a commonly used kanji conversion dictionary, which is used when converting emergency kanji to commonly used kanji. (2) A CRT 7 displays various information including the text stored in the work buffer 13. CPU II is program memory 18
The following processing is performed according to the control program stored in the controller. That is, a desired text is read from the text memory I2, and the read text is temporarily stored in the work buffer 13.
When a search instruction is entered from the keyboard 10, an emergency kanji is searched from among the sentences stored in the work buffer 13 and stored in the search kanji buffer 14, and each searched emergency kanji is On the other hand, one or more corresponding common kanji conversions are read out from the common kanji conversion dictionary 16 and the CRT is read out.
17, and when the execution key on the keyboard IO is pressed, one common kanji is selected from the common kanji conversions read out.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the contents of the commonly used kanji conversion dictionary 16. In the figure, the commonly used kanji conversion dictionary 16 is composed of emergency kanji data and commonly used kanji data corresponding to the emergency kanji data. The emergency kanji data consists of the number of emergency kanji characters, characters, and code strings, and the kanji data for common use consists of the number of kanji characters for common use and character code strings, and the kanji data for common use consists of the number of candidates for each emergency kanji. Provided.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

First, the overall flow of emergency kanji search will be explained with reference to FIG. When the search information is initialized (step 20), the work buffer 13i takes in character information from the beginning of the memorized text (step 2L), and then determines whether it is the end of the file (step 22).
, if NO, the commonly used kanji dictionary 15 is searched for kanji that are not stored in the commonly used kanji dictionary 15, that is, emergency kanji (step 23). If an emergency kanji is searched here, it is determined whether or not the search mode is set (step 24 = 25), and if NO, a common kanji conversion is performed (step 26). YES in step 25
If so, the cursor is moved to the location of the retrieved text information on the screen (step 27). Step 2
If it is not canceled again in step 6 (step 28
), the text composed of the converted commonly used kanji is updated and registered (step 29), and the text pointer is counted up for the next search (step 30). Note that step 2
Initialization at 0 includes setting the search start 111, setting the text pointer to be searched to zero, and the like. Further, the search mode in the steno knob 25 is a mode that is set before performing an emergency kanji search, and when this search mode is set, the search mode waits for an operator's instruction when an emergency kanji is searched. That is, in the search mode, since the system waits for an instruction when the emergency kanji is searched, the emergency kanji can be converted into a desired kanji at this stage by means of variant character conversion or the like.

Next, the detailed flow of commonly used kanji conversion shown in step 26 will be explained with reference to FIG.

In the commonly used kanji conversion, first the emergency kanji code is set in the search kanji buffer I4 (step 40), and by referring to the commonly used kanji conversion dictionary i6, common kanji candidates corresponding to the emergency kanji are searched (step 41). If the number of commonly used or alphabetic character candidates searched here is 1, the candidate is confirmed (steps 42-43), and if the number of commonly used kanji candidates exceeds i, C
What about the guidance display section of RT 17? The iI number is displayed as well as the first compensation (step 44). Next, it waits for key input (step 45), and when the cancel key is pressed, it is canceled (step 48), and when the execution key is pressed, the process is confirmed as input (step 47→
48) When the next candidate key is pressed, the common kanji conversion dictionary I
Next candidate processing is performed to read the next candidate from step 6 (step 4).
9→50), when the previous candidate key is pressed, a previous candidate process for reading out the previous candidate is performed (step 5O-51).

The above commonly used kanji conversion process will be explained using a specific example. In the explanation, we will use the example sentence ``A feature of Japanese word processors is that sentences include ruled lines...''. The "ruled line" in this sentence is not a commonly used kanji. Therefore, we will explain the case where this sentence is converted into a sentence containing only commonly used kanji.

When searching for commonly used kanji, search for “Japanese” at the beginning of the sentence.
When the search target is a ruled line, it is identified that it is not a commonly used kanji, and the search kanji buffer 1 is searched.
The character code string for "ruled line" is set to 4. On the other hand, if the commonly used kanji conversion dictionary 16 stores two commonly used kanji candidates corresponding to "ruled line" as shown in FIG. 6, the number of candidates is 2 and the first candidate is A “K” line is displayed. At this point, the system waits for instructions from the operator, and when the next candidate key is pressed, the number of candidates is counted down and the next candidate "cross line" is displayed.

When the previous candidate key is pressed, the number of candidates is counted up and the previous candidate is displayed. When the execution key is pressed, the candidates displayed at that time are confirmed as input, and the search moves on to the next search.

(g) Effects of the invention According to this invention, it is possible to search for only emergency kanji from a sentence that includes emergency kanji that are kanji other than ordinary English characters, and it is also possible to search for emergency kanji only based on the searched emergency kanji. , it is possible to read out one or more candidates for common-use kanji that correspond to the emergency kanji, so by selecting one candidate from among the common-use kanji candidates, the searched emergency kanji can be converted into a common-use kanji. Can be converted. As a result, a sentence including emergency kanji can be easily changed to a sentence containing only one kanji for regular use.
