DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a Japanese word processor using a kana-kanji conversion method.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] Conventionally, in Japanese word processors using the kana-kanji conversion method, the dictionary for kana-kanji conversion is JIS.
Character types defined by C-6226 have been used in the first level plus the second level, or only in the first level.

However, in actual use, there may be restrictions on the kanji that can be used depending on the purpose of use, such as educational kanji, regular kanji, or even kanji defined in a specific field. In many cases, these restrictions are generally stricter than those for the kanji types defined in the first level.

For this reason, conventionally, when using a Japanese word processor to create a document in a field that has certain kanji restrictions, for example, when using a document created with a Japanese word processor in an educational field, the usage restrictions have not been met. For such kanji, it is necessary to replace each kanji with hiragana or add ruby separately, which requires a lot of time and effort.

[Purpose of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to automatically detect kanji whose use is restricted in a specified field and to use the kanji in response to restrictions on the use of kanji in various fields. This allows output to be expressed in a way that does not cause problems for each field of use.This allows for various fields of use that have different restrictions on the use of kanji, without having to be aware of the kanji that are subject to restrictions. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a Japanese word processor that can easily and quickly create documents that comply with unique kanji usage restrictions.

Specifically, the present invention is capable of automatically detecting kanji whose use is restricted in various fields, and outputting the kanji with ruby attached to them. The purpose of this website is to provide a Japanese word processor with a high level of functionality.

Furthermore, the present invention makes it possible to automatically detect kanji whose use is restricted in various fields, and output the kanji by replacing them with kana according to their pronunciation. The purpose is to provide a Japanese word processor.

In addition, the present invention automatically detects the restricted kanji in various fields, adds ruby to the kanji, or prints out the kanji according to the desired output mode. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a Japanese word processor capable of outputting a Japanese word by replacing it with a kana according to its pronunciation.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention, in a Japanese word processor using a kana-kanji conversion method, separates the kana code string in the heading part of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary for each reading of each kanji character, Correspondingly, a code is provided to indicate the usage restriction range of the relevant kanji, and a code input means for specifying the usage restriction range is also provided, so that when searching in the heading section, the kanji to be output is determined based on these code information. As a configuration for determining whether or not a kanji is usable within the specified usage restriction range, for kanji that are subject to usage restrictions (cannot be used) outside the specified usage restriction range, the usage restriction is checked. It outputs the kanji in a form that does not cause any problems. Specifically, it adds ruby to the kanji or replaces the kanji with kana.
To easily, quickly, and accurately create documents that comply with unique restrictions on the use of kanji characters for fields of occupation that have different restrictions on the use of kanji characters, without being aware of the kanji characters that are subject to the restrictions.

This is a ruby generator that generates character codes. Reference numeral 22 denotes a code output control section that controls sending of the character codes outputted from the kana-kanji conversion processing section 16, the kanji-kana substitution section 20, the ruby generation section 21, etc. to a print control section, display control section, etc. (not shown).

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the recording format of the dictionary 17, where 31 is a heading section, 32 is an idiom section, 33 is a grammatical information section, and... are kana separated for each reading of a kanji character. A tag code provided along with the code, / is a tag code indicating the end of the heading section.

At this time, the correspondence between each of the above-mentioned tag codes and the usage restriction range inputted by the kanji usage restriction range specifying means KB is defined here as follows.

; Educational kanji This means that the kanji can be used when designated as educational kanji, and here it is the most stringent level of usage restrictions.

;Tokuyo kanji This means that it is a kanji that can be used at the time of designation of the kanji for kanji, and it covers kanji for kanji that can be used at the time of designation, and includes all kanji for use in education, and has looser restrictions on use than kanji for education.

; Restriction release This means that the kanji can be used only when no usage restriction range is specified, and all kanji (idioms) registered in the dictionary 17 can be used.

Figures 3 and 4 are flowcharts showing the processing procedure of the above-mentioned embodiment, respectively. Figure 3 shows the case where kanji that are subject to usage restrictions are replaced with kana and output, and Figure 4 shows that the kanji that are subject to usage restrictions are replaced with kana. Each processing flow when outputting such kanji with ruby added is shown.

Here, the operation of one embodiment will be explained.

When inputting a document, follow the instructions on the menu screen to select the kanji usage restriction range specification means KB in the input section 11.
The restricted range of kanji usage is specified by the mode specifying means KC, and the output mode of the kanji characters subject to the usage restriction is specified by the mode specifying means KC. Here, when specifying educational kanji as a usage restriction range, enter the code "1" corresponding to the tag code, and when specifying regular use kanji, enter the code "2" corresponding to the tag code, and there is no restriction. In this case, enter the code "3" which corresponds to the tag code. Furthermore, as the output mode for kanji whose use is restricted, mode "1" is designated when selecting the kanji-kana substitution processing mode, and mode "2" is designated when selecting the ruby addition processing mode.

Means for specifying the restricted range of kanji usage in the input section 11
The instruction code indicating the restricted range of kanji usage inputted by the KB is stored in the designated code register 14,
The mode information input by the mode specifying means KC is stored in the mode flag register 15.

Thereafter, document input is started by operating the input key KA, and the input character code string information is stored in the input buffer 13 and input to the kana-kanji conversion processing section 16, so that the dictionary 17 can be read. Execution of the kana-kanji conversion process by access is started. When searching the heading section 31 in the dictionary 17 during this kana-kanji conversion process, the tag code (//) accompanying the reading of the kanji to be converted is latched into the tag code holding section 18. The tag code latched in the tag code holding section 18 is combined with the specified code stored in the specified code register 14 in the kanji usage restriction determining section 1.
9 and are compared, and it is determined whether the corresponding kanji is a usable kanji within the specified usage restriction range.

Here, if the kanji is a usable kanji, the kanji code converted by the kana-kanji conversion processing section 16 is output as is via the code output control section 22. In addition, when a kanji is subject to usage restrictions, either the kanji-kana replacement section 20 or the ruby generation section 21 is activated according to the mode specified by the mode flag register 15, and the corresponding kanji is changed to a kana. replacement processing or ruby generation processing is executed.

The specific means for restricting the use of kanji in this case is explained in the second section.
This will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 to 4.

First, with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, processing operations when replacing kanji whose use is restricted with kana will be described. Steps S1 to S3 shown in FIG. 3 are the processing flow from setting the above-mentioned usage restriction range to inputting kana including the reading of kanji.
Here, the code "2" (n = 2) indicating the usage range of the regular kanji is set in the specified code register 14 as the usage restriction range of the kanji, and the kanji kana substitution is set as the output mode of the kanji subject to the usage restriction. A case is taken as an example in which "Ishigaki" is input as a kana character string (pronunciation of Kanji) to be converted into Kanji after mode "1" indicating the processing mode is set in the mode flag register 15.

The kana-kanji conversion processing unit 16 searches the dictionary 17 based on the kana input “Ishigaki” and obtains the corresponding heading “Ishigaki” and its idiom “Ishigaki” (Step S4 in Figure 3). ). Next, the above heading section is searched, the tag code accompanying the reading of each kanji is extracted and latched to the tag code holding section 18, and this tag code is transferred to the kanji usage restriction discriminating section 1.
At step 9, the designated code is compared with the designated code stored in the designated code register 14. Here, the first tag code is first compared with the designated code "2". In this case, since the condition ≦n is satisfied, it is determined that the kanji is usable, and the result of kana-kanji conversion is:
Adopt the kanji ``stone'' from the idiom section. That is, the kanji code for "stone" is set in the character code output buffer in the code output control section 22. Next, the search for the heading section is continued, and the same comparison and determination as above are performed for the next tag code. Here, since the condition ≦n is not satisfied, the kanji usage restriction determining unit 19 outputs a determination signal indicating that the corresponding kanji cannot be used. At this time, since the mode flag register 15 indicates mode "1" indicating the kanji-kana substitution processing mode, the kanji-kana substitution unit 20 is activated and also converts the kana character string of the corresponding reading in the heading section. Then, the corresponding kanji "gaki" is replaced with "gaki" and set in the character code output buffer in the code output control section 22 (step S5 in Fig. 3).
to Steve S8). By further searching the heading section and extracting the next tag code "/", the kana-kanji conversion process including the usage restriction check for the input kanji reading "Ishigaki" is completed (Figure 3). Steps S9, S10).

In this way, by first giving instructions to use only the official kanji, we can obtain the kana-kanji conversion output ``ishigaki'', which automatically converts ``kaki'', which cannot be used within the range of the official kanji, to hiragana. be able to.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, a processing operation when outputting a kanji character whose use is restricted with ruby added thereto will be explained. Steps S1 to S3 shown in FIG. 4 are the processing flow from setting the above-mentioned usage restriction range to inputting kana including the reading of kanji.Here, as the usage restriction range of kanji,
Similar to the processing operation described above, the code "2" (n=2) indicating the usage range of the designated kanji is set in the designated code register 14, and the ruby processing mode is set as the output mode for the kanji whose usage is restricted. An example of a case where "Ishigaki" is input as the kana character string (reading of the Kanji) to be converted to Kanji after the mode "2" indicating It's on. Here, select the dictionary in step S4,
Since the searching of the heading section in S5 and the comparison and determination of the codes in step S6 are the same as the processing operations described above, their explanation will be omitted here.

In step S6 shown in Figure 4, as a result of code comparison and discrimination, the first tag code is first compared with the specified code "2", and since it satisfies the condition ≦n, it is determined that it is a usable kanji. Then, the kanji ``stone'' in the idiom section is output without ruby. That is, a blank code string (〓〓) is set in the ruby information output buffer in the code output control section 22 as the ruby information output corresponding to the kanji code for "stone". Next, the search for the heading section is continued, and the same comparison and determination as above are performed for the next tag code. Here, since the condition ≦n is not satisfied, the kanji usage restriction determining unit 19 outputs a determination signal indicating that the corresponding kanji cannot be used. At this time, since the mode flag register 15 indicates mode "2" indicating the ruby addition processing mode, the ruby generation unit 21
is activated, the ruby character code for “Gaki” is generated based on the kana character string with the corresponding pronunciation in the heading section, and is set in the ruby information output buffer in the code output control unit 22 (No. 4 diagram steps
S5 to step S8). By further searching the heading section and extracting the next tag code "/", the kana-kanji conversion process including the usage restriction check for the input kanji reading "Ishigaki" is completed (Figure 4). Steps S9, S10).

In this way, by first giving instructions to use only regular kanji, we can automatically output ruby output in the form of ``bb gaki'' with ruby information attached to ``kaki'', which cannot be used with regular kanji. Obtainable.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the three modes of "educational kanji,""commonkanji," and "no usage restrictions" are used as examples of the range of kanji usage restrictions that can be specified. The present invention is not limited to this, and for example, it is also possible to divide educational kanji into a plurality of ranks and optionally designate the ranks, which can be used depending on various purposes.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the separator for each reading of a kanji in the heading section of the dictionary and the code indicating the usage restriction range are treated as one tag code, but the present invention is not limited to this. The separator and the code indicating the restricted range of use may be separated, for example, the heading section 31 may be provided with only a separator, and the phrase section 32 may be provided with a code indicating the restricted range of kanji usage.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, in a Japanese word processor using a kana-kanji conversion method, the kana code string in the heading part of the kana-kanji conversion dictionary is converted into the reading of a single kanji character. In addition to providing a code that indicates the usage restriction range of the corresponding kanji corresponding to its reading, a code input means for specifying the usage restriction range is also provided, and these code information can also be used when searching in the heading section. In addition, as a configuration for determining whether or not the kanji to be output is a usable kanji within the specified usage restriction range, it is possible to determine whether or not the kanji to be output is a usable kanji that falls within the specified usage restriction range. For various fields of use that have different restrictions on the use of kanji, by adding ruby to the kanji or replacing the kanji with kana, output in an expression that does not interfere with the usage restrictions. Therefore, it is possible to easily, quickly, and accurately create documents that comply with each unique kanji usage restriction without being aware of the kanji that are subject to usage restrictions.
