Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically start the head of a sentence in a capital letter at the time of the execution of the input of an English sentence, and to reduce the operation of an operator, and to shorten time by providing a judging part and a converting part at the time of input processing. CONSTITUTION:When a character is inputted, a character inputting part 1 informs an input processing part 2 of the input of the character and inputted character information. The input processing part 2 receives the character information from the character inputting part 1, and controls the judging part 3, and informs it of the character information. The judging part 3 receives the character information from the input processing part 2, and judges the end of the sentence according to whether inputted character information is alphabet and whether it is a period or a question mark, and informs the converting part 4 of this result. The converting part 4 receives the result of the judging part 3, and in the case of the end of the sentence, it executes operation to convert one alphabet inputted next into the capital letter and reflect it in the character conversion at the head of the sentence. Thus, labor and the time required for the operation can be saved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a word processor, and particularly to a word processor that also inputs English text.

[Conventional technology]

In English, the first letter of a sentence is usually capitalized, and conventionally, in this type of word processor, to capitalize only the first letter of a sentence, for example, press the shift key and a letter key, or press C.
The operation involved pressing the APS key, switching to uppercase character mode, pressing a character key, and pressing the CAPS key again to return to lowercase character input mode.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, converting between uppercase and lowercase letters in conventional word processors requires some kind of key operation, such as operating the CAPS key each time you convert, or inputting characters while holding down the shift key. can be,
The disadvantage is that it takes time and effort to operate.

[Means to solve the problem]

The word processor of the present invention includes an input processing unit that processes alphabetic characters when input, and determines whether the input information is an alphabetic character, a period (JIS code 2125), or a question mark (JIS code 2129). If it is a period or question mark, the next lowercase alphabetic character (JIS code 2361-237A)
When a character is input, the converter converts only that one character into an uppercase character.

〔Example〕

The configuration of an embodiment for realizing the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a character input section, and when a character is input, it notifies an input processing section 2, which will be described later, of the input of the character and the input character information. Reference numeral 2 denotes an input processing section, which receives character information from the character input section 1, controls a determining section 3 to be described later, and transmits the character information. 3 is a judgment unit which receives character information from the input processing unit 2 and determines whether the input character information is an alphabetic character, a period, (JIS code 2125), or a quesilon mark (JIS code 2129).
The end of the sentence is determined based on whether the sentence ends, and the conversion unit 4 is notified of the result. The converting unit 4 receives the result of the determining unit 3, and converts the next input alphabetic character -u into an uppercase letter if it is at the end of a sentence, and causes the converted character to be reflected in the character conversion at the beginning of the sentence.

However, the first character of the second sentence is entered in uppercase using the conventional method.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, by providing a judgment unit and a conversion unit during input processing, the present invention can automatically start a sentence with a capital letter when performing English writing, reducing operator operations and saving time. This has the effect of being able to be shortened.
