Abstract

PURPOSE:To drastically enhance the efficiency of KANA (Japanese syllabary)/KANJI (Chinese character) conversion and its hit ratio by providing the KANA/KANJI conversion with a conversion dictionary optimized for each field, whereby in order to convert data input by the keyboard into a KANJI, the conversion dictionary selectively specified by the operator is used for the execution of the conversion. CONSTITUTION:A conversion means 3 uses the identification number of a registered dictionary specified by a business program 2 to determine a dictionary for conversion, dictionary 5, as an example. Further, the dictionary 5 is used to carry out the conversion processing, and a display means 4 is informed of resultant 'KANJI data'. The display means 4 displays the KANJI data on the screen and waits for information for determination to be supplied from an input means 1. When a KANJI is determined, the application program 2 requires the input means to input next Japanese language data. The converter provides a conversion means 3 with 'KANA' data input from the input means 1 and the identification number of a dictionary in use. Then, the identification number of the dictionary can be arbitrarily chosen from 5-7. The conversion means 3 determines from the numbers of the dictionaries registered of which the application program 2 informed a dictionary to be used for conversion and executes the conversion processing as required.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention converts data input from a keyboard into "Gana J" and "Gana J".
Concerning the Kana-Kanji conversion method for converting data into data containing a mixture of "Kanji".

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional kana-kanji conversion method of this type, as shown in FIG. The display means 40 displays the ``Kanji data'' that is considered to be ``Kanji data'' on the screen. Then, the operator determines whether the displayed "kanji data" is the requested "kanji data" and confirms the requested "kanji data."

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional kana-kanji conversion method described above, there is only one dictionary that can be referenced at the same time.
The "optimal dictionary" usually differs depending on the field of business, which has the disadvantage of poor conversion efficiency.

[Means to solve the problem]

The method of the present invention provides optimized conversion dictionaries for various fields in Kana-Kanji conversion, which converts data input from the keyboard into a mixture of data such as ``1 Kana'' and ``Kanji.'' The present invention is characterized in that when converting to kanji, the conversion dictionary is selected and designated by an operator's instruction.

〔Example〕

Next, a kana-kanji conversion method according to the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, input means 1. Business program to be actually processed 2. Conversion means 31 for performing "kana-kanji conversion"; display means 4 for display on the screen; dictionaries 5 (here, a mathematics dictionary) and dictionaries 6 (here, an information processing dictionary) used for conversion;

It has a dictionary 7 (in this case, an economic dictionary).

Dictionaries 5 to 7 are each optimized for each field of mathematics, information processing, and economics. For example, the dictionary 5 is edited to initially display "isosceles triangle" and the dictionary 6 to display "binary number" as the converted data in response to the input of kana "ni J."

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

First, when the user starts the business program 2, the business program 2 requests input of Japanese data. Then, the data of "kana" input by the input means 1 and the used dictionary number are passed to the conversion means 3.

The conversion means 3 determines a dictionary to be converted and used, for example, the dictionary 5, based on the usage dictionary number passed from the business program 2. Then, a conversion process is performed using the dictionary 5, and the "kanji data" is notified to the display means 4. The display means 4 displays the notified data on the screen and waits for a confirmation instruction from the input means 1.

Once the ``kanji'' is determined, Business Program 2 requests the input of the next Japanese data. The data of "kana" input by the input means 1 and the used dictionary number are passed to the conversion means 3. The dictionary number to be used at this time can be arbitrarily selected from among 5 to 7. The conversion means 3 is the business program 2
The dictionary to be used for conversion is determined based on the used dictionary number notified from , and the conversion process is performed as needed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

With the present invention, input Japanese data can be converted using an optimal "dictionary", resulting in improved conversion efficiency.

The hit rate is dramatically improved and data input speed can be increased.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] In a kana-kanji conversion method that converts data input from a keyboard into data containing a mixture of "kana" and "kanji," an optimized conversion dictionary for each field is provided, and the data input from the keyboard is 1. A kana-kanji conversion method, characterized in that when converting ``to kanji'', the conversion dictionary selected and specified by an operator is used to perform the conversion.
